Conflict

  When Ethan and the others returned to the camp, they confirmed that the place was completely fine. The explosion happened a few hundred meters away from there when a certain mercenary got careless. Ethan understood that because when he arrived, he saw a group of mercenaries kicking a certain figure that was wearing some really worn-down clothes. It was a boy who seemed to be ten years old. However, he wasn't human. He had a single pointy horn in the middle of his forehead and bat-like wings on his back. The right side of the boy was bleeding heavily, and he had some burn marks there. It looked like he was the cause of the explosion. Some of the mercenaries were wounded too.

"What a pain…" Ethan sighed and then began to walk toward that group.

"Hey, Ethan, you shouldn't…" Ian said.

"Shut up," Ethan said.
