"Haha, sir Blarg, you don\'t have to panic. I didn\'t see anyone before I walked the stairs." Benimaru joked a little and sat down before Blarg. 

Ravenna and Fiain didn\'t sit along with him, as he had explained to them that they would be going with him as his maid. He also taught them about what the maid had to do, so they wouldn\'t mess up the cover.

"No, sir. You don\'t know. These guys can come at any moment, and you all are big guys. So, I can\'t just offend you by wasting your time." Blarg shook his head, denying what Benimaru said.

"Oh~" Benimaru felt quite amused for some reason. "Will Mister Blarg not check the businessman to see if he or she is good or evil? You know, for your choice, something bad might happen to this city."

"Huhh~" Blarg let out a sigh before saying. "Sir, didn\'t I tell you I couldn\'t offend anyone? If you guys were from a small place, then I would at least have the heart to question them thoroughly. But…you are all from big places that we can\'t ever imagine going to. It is only our luck that Princess Ana is able to bless us; if not, they might not even look at us."

"If we break our bond this early, then no matter what we become, those guys will not bat an eye at us." Seeing Blarg\'s sudden descent into depression left Benimaru dumbfounded. He just wanted to have some fun with Blarg, but it looked like he accidentally triggered the deep anxiety inside him.

"Mister Blarg is quite smart. This alone is making me establish a big shop for the sake of this city\'s people." Benimaru spoke passionately and acted like he had made a vow.

"No, no, no, you don\'t have to do this. This will make me feel guilty." Blarg waved his hands, trying to stop Benimaru. "Anyway, let\'s forget this. Sir, give me your pardon, and I will do the paperwork in seconds."

Benimaru happily handed the pardon into Blarg\'s hand and waited for him to finish his work.

Almost two minutes later.

"Here it is, sir Benimaru." Blarg handed down a parchment to Benimaru and said. "Now you can freely sell your weapons to anyone. Also, if the quality is great and it gets famous, maybe Baron Arash might make a deal with you for being the supplier for the army."

After taking the parchment, Benimaru shook hands with Blarg and said."If it does well as you say, then I wouldn\'t mind striking a deal with Baron Arash."

Blarg shook his hands happily and said it with a smile. "I wish you good luck, sir Benimaru. It was fun talking to you."

"Same to you." Benimaru nodded his head and left, saying those words.

After exiting the building, Benimaru said to the guard that had been with them the entire time. "Put the box back into the carriage, we will move directly to the shop now."

The weapons he brought for possible inspection came to no use, and it wasted manpower. But Benimaru could do nothing, and it was also best to be prepared.

At that moment, Ravenna asked him. "Benimaru, don\'t you want to know what Ana did to make so many people flock here?"

"Ravenna, I want to know about it more than anyone, but we have our hands already full." Benimaru answered with a sigh and entered his carriage, which was followed by Ravenna and Fiain.

After taking their respectable seats, the carriage started to move forward, and Benimaru also started saying. "However, no, this matters. As long as the aftermath of her actions is positive, we can just sit peacefully. Just hope it stays like that."

Ravenna nodded her head, agreeing with Benimaru. They shouldn\'t meddle in Ana\'s business until the moment something bad occurs to her. Meanwhile, Fiain appeared extremely confused, not understanding what these two were talking about. She wanted to ask but refrained from doing so, if her lord wished then he would explain to her eventually.

Then the carriage became quiet. Benimaru glanced outside the window with a pensive look and thought. \'As much as I am saying that, it isn\'t urgent to know what she did, but my heart can\'t stop thinking about what my daughter accomplished.\'

…

Slowly, the scenery drifted off and the time rewinded back.

One week before, Benimaru was ready to head to Migotanie City.

Cricsis City, EverGreen Academy Third Branch.

"So, what is the result of your search, Ana?" Lily asked Ana softly.

Ana said, reading the book in her hand. "Nothing significant, but I found a few interesting things."

They were currently in the library, occupying a small table in the corner, trying to avoid the prying eyes of others, which they did not do as there were not many people present in the library.

"Oh, tell me, tell me." Lily\'s eyes sparkled as she couldn\'t wait to hear Ana\'s discovery. She and Ana had become very close, so Ana had revealed some of her secrets to her, and one of them was her goal of finding the god that could bring people back from the dead.

Ana nodded her head, and started explaining quietly, trying not to alert the librarian. "There are many gods and goddesses in this world, but not all of them are omnipotent. They follow a specific path, and they can only use that path\'s power. Among the few I got to know about, only three can potentially bring dead people back."

"Who are they?" Lily eagerly asked, making her voice rise a little. 

But without caring about it, Ana answered her. "They are the Goddess of Life, the God of Death, and the Time Guardian."

Lily was surprised to hear such big names, but something bugged her when she thought things through. "Wait, you told me three gods or goddesses can bring back the dead, but who is this Time Guardian? He doesn\'t sound like a god to me."

"I do not know," Ana shrugged her shoulders as she was equally as her. "This name was included along with the gods, so he has to be someone who is equal in strength to them."

"Or…" Something sparked inside Lily\'s mind that she wasn\'t able to control and let slip from her mouth. "The gods are just strong people who gained enough strength to control powers that a true god can comprehend. Maybe that explains why the Time Guardian doesn\'t have the title "God" in hi-."

Thwap!

Lily wasn\'t able to finish her sentence when suddenly a paper folded ruler hit her head. 

"Uuuu." Lily cried out in pain and rubbed her head. She looked at her friend, Ana, and saw her head buried inside her book as if nothing mattered to her.

Lily decided to look back to see who was the culprit for hitting her and making Ana do a U-turn.

The moment she turned her back, she became mortified. Lily tried to speak but stuttered while doing so. "Uh..umm..professor Mo…Mori.."

The person behind Lily was one of the professors of this branch academy and the sole librarian. He had short yellowish hair and a neatly washed dress, which was worn by all the professors. He had a pair of black eyes with no emotion. But there was a calm demeanor on his face and body that made people start to have respect for him—for no reason.

"Lady, you should be careful with what you say." Mori warned Lily, looking at her first before shifting to Ana. "You too. I know you would have agreed with her."

"Yes, professor." Ana lifted her head from the book and said it apologetically.

"You young ones." All of a sudden, a sigh escaped from Mori. He said to them, "I know it is nothing ordinary to be hotblooded and think beyond in different ways, but you have to refrain yourself from certain topics."

"In what, professor?" Lily\'s question made Mori a bit dumbfounded, eventually making him decide to explain it thoroughly to them. He recomposed himself and returned to his usual calm yet stern expression. 

First, he asked them a question. "Do you know who is most respected and feared in this world?"

Lily and Ana didn\'t answer instantly as they started pondering. However, it didn\'t take long for Ana to know the answer. "It is the deities."

"Correct." Mori nodded his head. "These gods and goddesses can be considered taboo existences. You can worship them, sing praises for them, and fear them, but don\'t ever dare badmouth them. They might not hear you, or in some cases, few can, but no matter what, you should be worried when you badmouth them as their apostles, devotees could be anywhere."

"I will tell you this, those guys hate the most when someone dares to badmouth their deity." Mori warned, glaring at them, showing them how severe the situation was.

Lily asked in such a tense atmosphere, "Professor, have you witnessed such a situation?"
