Yesterday and Tomorrrow

"Isn't that right, Mentor?" Milfa glanced at the side, specifically at a certain tree. The shadow flickered because Milfa had recognized it.

"I guess I can't hide from you anymore." Dimitri's voice echoed from behind the tree.

"You are not planning to show yourself?" Milfa asked with a smile.

"Do you still need me to come out and wipe your tears?"

"…" Milfa chuckled and said, "I guess not. I was surprised when you suddenly retired without any apparent reason. So, I couldn't help but investigate you a little bit."

"Surprisingly, you ended up working for the Ardagan Family. After making some connections and shifting some conversations for a bit, I realized that this child was Noel Ardagan."

"There were two reasons why he managed to survive this whole time. First and foremost, it was his own ability. As for the second one, it should be your protection. It must be the reason why they could escape a Devil Bishop when investigating the Fagant Leaf."
