Nero mother's first meeting

When Nero saw his mother he immediately hugged his mother tightly while crying and apologizing. Katanci and Lyra heard Nero's cry except for Rira who was taking a bath.

"Mom-I-I'm sorry I couldn't help Mu-mother and Neri." Nero continued to cry in his mother's arms. But Nero's mother didn't say anything but her mother immediately pushed Nero to fall into the river, "Illusionary magic!!!" Katanci from the inn walked leisurely with a very restless face and decided to return to the inn after walking a meter. Katanci thought of the accessories she had to find before someone else found her.

As he entered his own room, Katanci spoke to his own reflection. He told his shadow not to follow him wherever he went. But Katanci realized that the shadows would follow him wherever he went. Katanci sat on her bed hugging her pillow and thought about what really happened to someone that Katanci and Lyra trusted so much.

There was a sound like tapping on the window glass using pebbles or small stones. Katanci ignored him, but his voice grew louder. Knock..Tock..Tock.. Katanci still ignored him and finally his voice grew louder, the window glass shattered along with a mysterious person beside Katanci. "Who pays for it?" Katanci saw people wearing masks bearing the dolphin symbol. The person said that Katanci compensated for not opening or looking out of the window and Katanci the owner of this room.

That person was Rezone, a man who had met Katanci in Rira's village. Rezone provides more information regarding the third and ninth kingdoms. Looks like the third kingdom will go to the nine kingdom with the help of a fortune teller who is hired. The fortune teller said when going in there required absolute permission.

"Permission is an unreadable law?" Katanci crossed his arms in front of his chest. Rezone nodded once then he continued the information he got regarding the item that had the shooting star symbol. After hearing that, Katanci stood up and grabbed both of Rezone's shoulders while shaking him. Katanci asked where the item was and what did it look like? Rezone removed Katanci's hand from his shoulder so he would stop shaking it because he was feeling dizzy. Rezone says, "It's shaped like a bracelet and its location is in the twelfth kingdom."

Rezone finished giving the information he knew then Rezone went through the window he passed earlier. Katanci didn't seem to intend to enter the Twelve Kingdom for reasons that were certain to happen. The twelfth kingdom was the one that Lyra had not overthrown but the King died and left the Queen alone. The queen is very wise, smart, and so thorough. And he had a Princess and a Son in his kingdom. The eldest princess in the kingdom disappeared without knowing her whereabouts. Katanci thought of the lost Princess and thought of Nero who was bathing in the river.

On the other hand... Nero was shocked to see his mother who had pushed him unable to do anything and let himself fall into the river if that was what his mother wanted. But Lyra came and stretched out her right hand to grab Nero's hand so he wouldn't fall into the river. However, when it was reached Lyra immediately let go of her hand which made Nero drenched because he fell into the cold river.

Nero, who was shivering from the cold, tried to scold Lyra, but Nero couldn't speak because it was too cold. Unbeknownst to Nero, his mother had disappeared from his sight. Nero was warmed in front of Katanci's fireplace. Rira could only stay silent and didn't know what to do, unlike Katanci who laughed at what had happened to Nero.

"Lyra, why did you separate from Rira and why did you kill my mother?" Nero looked at Lyra with a very angry face.

"I never killed your mother! and I can be separated from Rira because I know her magic." Lyra replied with an innocent face and explained to Nero her new magic a bit. Nero immediately snapped at Lyra because he didn't want to admit the mistakes he had made while he was alive. Lyra who heard that got angry "When I was alive... was I dead? Since when?" Lyra didn't understand what Nero was saying,

"There are rumors that you were killed by the Prince of the third kingdom under the mountain? Is that true?" Katanci told rumors about him. "I've never been there!" Lyra argued. Nero got up from the fireplace and continued to be angry with Lyra for having killed his mother. Lyra didn't want to lose either, she kept arguing that she didn't kill her mother.

Nero decided to go out of the inn, and Katanci told Rira to chase after Nero when no one else was outside. After Rira left and only wore a mask just in case someone was there. Rira looked right and left as she opened the inn's exit. After feeling that no one was around the inn, Rira immediately ran towards the path that Nero had passed earlier.

Suddenly an old man appeared who was looking for fish in a small river. Rira headed towards the grandfather even though the grandfather's existence was very strange because he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Rira put on a mask and then asked the old man in a soft voice.

"What are you doing grandpa?" The grandfather was looking for fish for the family to eat, but the grandfather could not find a single fish in the shallow river. Rira could only be silent after hearing the answer from the old man. Rira went from the grandfather's place and went to another place, What Rira was looking for was a small lake.

With a curious face because she knew a place like this, Rira went into the water without further ado and tried to catch the fish in the lake with her bare hands. After getting one small fish, Rira thought this fish would not be enough so Rira looked for another bigger fish.

When heading to the middle of the lake, it turns out that there is a fairly large fish swimming in the middle of the lake. With a little saliva, Rira immediately jumped to where the fish was swimming. Rira got the fish which was quite large and immediately took it to the grandfather's place. After arriving, Rira immediately gave the fish to Grandpa who was still looking for fish.

"Thank you very much, you are a very good boy." The old man went to his house after thanking Rira. Rira immediately followed Nero who had gone far or had lost track of him. Rira immediately looked for Nero and then took off his mask. "Lyra do you seriously don't remember?" Katanci doubted Lyra.

"I never killed Nero's mother, nor do I remember that I died at the bottom of the mountain, and I still remember that..." Lyra looked very confused. "About that? Do you remember? The only ones who know about it are you and I." "No, there's still one more that is the Messenger."
