Chapter Two

Greta gleefully ran towards Yuuri and gave him a hug. She missed her father so much. He's been gone to earth for almost 6 months.

"Greta You've gotten taller since I've last seen you."

"Really? Why don't didn't you tell me that you're back? If not for Cherry-sama, I may not know you're here already." she said with a frown.

" Haha. Sorry about that. You see, I had a lot of things to finish yesterday. So, I didn't have the time to see you."

"Yeah? Like flirting, wimp?" Wolfram murmured. Unfortunately, it's loud enough to reach Yuuri's ears.

"Hey, I'm not a wimp. How many times I have to tell you, what happened yesterday was an accident."

"Oh yeah? Like I'm going to believe that, you wimp!"

"Ehern!" Gwendal interrupts the two.

"The food is going cold. I think we must resume our breakfast. You can talk about that thing of yours later. Besides, ... " Gwendal looks at Yuuri with a glare.

"Yuuri haika has a lot of things to do today, I believe."

Yuuri shivered while Wolfram just sneered at him.

"Hmp!"

"Ohayo gosaimas, mina-san!" Murata entered the dining hall.

"Gaieka. I thought you headed back to the shrine."

"Well, I thought so too. But I decided to stay for a while."

The meal went on just as always. But for Murata, something feels oddly ... wrong? No, he doesn't know either. He could feel that something is not right that he just can't point out exactly, making him sigh.

'Or maybe I'm not used on waking up with those stupid boxes at the temple.' he muttered to himself.

Though he's certain that it is not really the box or the shrine or Shinou.

"Gaieka, are you alright? Is there anything troubling you?"

Gunter asked. Then suddenly all eyes when pointing at his direction now.

'oh great.'

"Hai, von Christ-kyu." he just smiled.

"Are you sure, Gaieka?" Conrart ask.

" I'm perfectly fine, Weller-kyu. Nothing to worry about."

The sage flashed his carefree smile again to assure everyone that he is more than fine. well, as far as he can see he is. If it's not that odd feeling that he has since he woke up.

Just then Yuuri studs up.

"Yuuri, where are you going?"

Wolf looks at him with a knotted forehead.

"Uhm... I think I forgot something. I'm just going to check it out."

"But, you're not done with your meal yet, Haieka."

"It's Yuuri, Nazakoeya. After all, you are the one who named me."

Yuuri let out a sigh

'When will he learn to call me by my name?'

" Besides, I'm not really in the mood to eat. I have to go and look for it. I'm feeling uncomfortable without it."

"What is it that you're going to find? Can't it wait until later? At least finish your food. Find that thing when you're done."

Wolfram rant. well, sort of. After all the Maoh's health must come first before anything else.

"I'm sorry Wolf, I really have to go."

Then he rushed back to the room.

"I wonder what he's going to get? It's very unusual for him to leave his meal just to get something that he forgot"

"I'm sure it is important. So let's just leave him be. I still have a lot of work to do."

Gwendal, as grumpy as ever, turned to his youngest brother.

"Send me the report regarding your patrol on the South border a week ago. I need them."

"Hai, Anuae. In fact, I was planning to give it to you after breakfast."

"Is it about that incident again?" Conrart ask.

"Yes. And it seems that it is not like an ordinary rebellion"

Wolfram just nodded.

"And the situation had gotten worse. there's also a report about people gone missing."

"Let's talk about it later at my office."

******************Meanwhile Somewhere in Cavalcade**********************

"We've searched every village in the whole kingdom My lord. Still no success."

"I do have a new report about its location and our trope in Caloria is working on it."

"Are you sure about this?"

He just answered with a nod. Certain, he is.

"Patience gentlemen, and we shall see the fruit of our ancestors' hard work. We'll get there before you knew it."

Then a smile curve on his lips.

'Just a little more time.'
