As Yren entered the clearing where Melissa and Gerald were talking, both of them noticed him. Suddenly, both of them had their foreheads pressed to the ground.

Yren stopped ten feet away and looked at the two curiously. Putting aside how strange it looked for the two monsters to be prostrating themselves like this, Yren didn't understand what the reason was.

"What is this about?" Yren asked.

"We would like to serve you!" Melissa shouted from her position on the ground.

"Yes! I was a servant to many Gods many years ago, but I can relearn what has been lost!" Gerald declared.

Simultaneously, Ciros's silvery form materialized, sitting on the floor cross-legged beside the two.

"Oh my! You seem to be having quite the effect on these two already, Mr. Lent!" Ciros laughed, but neither of the two lifted their heads.
