The Unaware Atelier Master - Great Sage's Buddy

A strange boy with pink hair, orange goggles, and eyes split between pink and blue arrives at the atelier, claiming to have wandered there by accident. He is eventually revealed to be Saido Namikaze, a figure who moves faster than teleportation and speaks with unsettling familiarity about forces that should be beyond common knowledge. Over the course of a single evening, he dismantles the quiet stability of the atelier by revealing that Kurt is the last surviving resident of Hast Village-a community that used time-shifting technology to evolve far beyond normal humans, making Kurt's DNA unique and irreplaceable. Saido casually claims to be best friends with the Great Sage, whom he refers to as "Flugel," a man who has lost his memories and is both protected and harmed by someone close to him. He admits that he came to Kurt specifically to cure his own eye allergies using Kurt's unique biology, though he later confesses that his earlier claims about being healed were exaggerated flattery. He offers to teach Kurt and the others to phase through walls in under a minute, but Yulishia refuses, sensing the danger of such knowledge. Saido warns that if Kurt's abilities are ever discovered, he could be hunted and killed. Despite the chaos, Kurt remains calm and perceptive, recognizing Saido's fear beneath his deflections. The night ends with a fragile understanding between the group and their mysterious guest, though many questions remain unanswered.
