"Where did he go!?" Ravenna moved her head to search for Hart, but it was to no avail.

Max said with a grim face. "Let\'s leave this place."

"Hmm." Ravenna nodded her head and took Max\'s hand.

They were about to leave, but suddenly they heard the sound of coins making noise near them.

Max and Ravenna looked down. Max\'s eyes widened when he saw a bulge in his cloak\'s pocket.

He put his hand in the pocket and took out what was inside it.

When the objects came out, despite knowing the truth, Max and Ravenna were shocked.

It was a small bag full of coins.

The shock they had earlier was not for the bag full of coins, it was for this bag suddenly appearing inside Max\'s pocket.

Because they were sure no one came near them and they didn\'t hear this noise earlier.

\'That old man.\' Max thought with dread in his eyes, as he could guess the culprit.

Ravenna asked. "Max, was it…?"

Despite having an immature brain, Ravenna was at least able to guess the crux of the issue very closely to Max\'s guess.

"Huh~" Letting out a sigh to calm himself down, he said to Ravenna. "I think that old man gave us these coins to enjoy. Especially after he saw you making tantrums for candy."

"I…I didn\'t." Ravenna strongly denied it and pouted away her face.

"Anyway, let\'s get you some." Max felt they should just enjoy themselves instead of dwelling on it.

Ravenna nodded her head and pulled Max toward the candy shop.

Along the way, Ravenna asked, with her mood being a little down. "Max, that old man was strong, right?"

Max went silent for a second, then eventually let it out. "Yes, no one noticed his movement."

"Do you think we can become like him too?" Ravenna\'s downcast expression was suddenly gone and replaced with a bright face that had a big smile.

Max got stumped seeing her like that. Then he also chuckled a little and spoke firmly. "We will."

They then entered the candy store, unaware that someone was listening in on their conversation.

Hart was standing on a rooftop with his hand behind his back. He still had his usual smile on his face, but there was a slight dignity that could be seen emanating out from him.

There was a rule here that one couldn\'t get on top of any kind of building except if it was someone sent by the owner themselves or the owner himself.

However, no one came to warn him despite his attire, knowing such a dirty old man could never go up and know someone would send him. But that wasn\'t the issue. Many people looked in his direction, yet they acted like there was no one there.

Hart stroked his beard and thought. \'Interesting duo. I have never seen demons with so much rational thinking right after birth. Not even higher-ranking demons would do that.\'

\'I will keep an eye on you two.\' Hart\'s body vanished the next second.

Tring

Max and Ravenna also came out at that moment. Max glanced at where Hart was, as he felt that someone was watching them from that spot.

Ravenna\'s sudden urge brought him back to his senses. "Max, let\'s go try that juice."

"Okay, but we have to use the money as minimally as possible." Max went to the juice vendor while teaching Ravenna.

…

Inside the forest beside Baron Fiarta\'s fief.

Max and Ravenna were currently going to a tree hole that Max had spotted earlier when they came to this route.

He felt that would be a nice spot to stay for a night.

Beside him, Ravenna was drinking orange and red colored juice. After taking a sip, she sighed in relief. "Ahh…so good. Max, this juice is so good; it is still cold despite such strong heat."

"Yes, they are." Max nodded his head, as he had also tasted that. It was really good, as it had a sweet flavor and a little spicy flavor to it. Additionally, it was cold; even in such heat, its temperature didn\'t increase.

Max had checked if there was any ice and he didn\'t find any.

Coming before the tree hole, which was ten meters above them, Max said, "This will be our home from now on."

Ravenna got confused and asked Max, tilting her head. "But can\'t we build one better?"

"No," Max looked at the bright, blue sky and said. "We might move somewhere one year later. So, I won\'t build a house yet."

"Oh." Ravenna\'s mouth widened, despite not understanding Max\'s intention.

Thup

After bonking her on the head again, Max said."You go rest now, I will bring lunch."

Ravenna rubbed her head as she looked at Max\'s figure fading into the trees. "Meanie."

Saying that, she went to rest inside the hole.

On the other side, Max spoke inside his mind while walking. \'System, who was that guy?\'

[ A storytelling enthusiastic. ]

Max asked back with a deadpan face. \'Nothing else?\'

[ Host, that figure is someone who you will know as time passes by. ]

\'I see,\' Max assumed that it was also someone like those big guys that the system was hesitant to talk about. \'Then tell me, will you be able to track my daughter\'s star?\'

This was what Max was mainly worried about because he knew he could never find her in such a big world all by himself.

[ Yes, but you have to pay a price. ]

\'What is the price?\' Max raised his eyebrows, hoping it wouldn\'t be something onerous.

[ You have to sacrifice your lifespan ]

Max halted in his steps and said dumbfoundedly. "That\'s it?"

He didn\'t expect it to be something so simple. He had seen his status, he had many lifespans to spare, and he could gain more after advancing in realms.

[ That\'s it. ]

A smile appeared on his face, finally knowing he was closer to meeting his daughter.

Max raised his head and looked at the sky that was peeking at him through the dense leaves.

"Ana, I will see you again."
