"That's not gentle at all!" Aya exclaimed as she pulled his sleeve in the opposite direction. She changed her position and her body was facing the path ahead while pulling him who kept walking the wrong way. For her at least.

For Narukami who intended to do some 'fun' things with her father. It was the right path.

Akin to a person pulling a car with all of their strength. Her struggle was useless nevertheless.

"Really?" Narukami stopped his pace as his mind focused on a question.

Narukami forgot what 'gentle' torture was in this world.

One of the worlds he had been reincarnated. Ironing your enemies' backs was the lightest and the most gentle form of torture.

Cutting its dragon was one level above it. 

"That's right, senpai!" Aya nodded to convince him if that was indeed the case. Aya wondered how her senpai's line of thought was working!

To which, Narukami acknowledged her words as he quickly turned his body.

Aya, who tried to pull him by his right sleeve, her vision abruptly got blurred as he turned around. 

When he turned around, her legs slightly lifted.

Before she knew it, her position was facing the wrong direction.

It appeared that when Narukami turned around, she, who was on his sleeve, her body moved according to his motion as if she was a weightless doll.

"Aya, what are you doing? I thought you're going to punish your father later on? Change of plans?" He jested.

Aya let go of his sleeve as she quickly turned around.

"Senpai, you really are weird."

After a short silence. He chuckled and seeing his face, she followed afterward, covering her lips as she chuckled sweetly.

As they walked, Aya caught a glimpse of his footsteps. His steps didn't produce any noises. Perhaps because his steps were overwhelmed by the crowding noises.

She was close to him to the point she could see something that people from far away can't discern.

Such as his long eyelashes. Without her knowing, her gaze was focused on it for a few breaths.

"Aya, is your father the one who takes your heart?"

From her past, Narukami reached this conclusion with the help of his knowledge.

Cases where people exchanged their organs for wealth.

Not to an ordinary human but them with abilities were quite common. 

Unfortunately, those who did this usually died before getting their part of the deal.

A father who survived this kind of ordeal and a daughter who could see a divine being…

What an interesting family, Narukami can't help but say that inwardly as an interesting smile was etched on his face.

No way to avoid this. Aya told him the truth, or about to.

Narukami stopped his steps and it was quite sudden that she passed his figure, it took a short while to realize that Narukami wasn't on her side.

"What's wrong, senpai?" She asked as she slightly turned her body.

Shortly thereafter, she saw a boy ran towards him, she wanted to warn Narukami but seconds late.

The boy bumped Narukami's right shoulder.

With a light thud, he fell.

"Gah!" He groaned in pain. 

"Are you okay?" Narukami asked with his flat expression. The boy instantly got up, bowed down as he apologized then rushed to the distance.

The boy's clothes were ragged and some parts fell like leaves. His expression was that of terrified and panic. His breathing was also fast and heavy.

His black, long pants mostly ripped, the right part only left to his knee while the left part to his thigh.

"Will it be fine, senpai? Shouldn't we ask him what happened and help him?" She walked in his way as her face kept looking to where the boy rushed.

She looked at the boy with a gaze of curiosity.

From the vicinity, they can still see him. Running as he kept tumbling on something, almost falling.

Adults and teens who noticed his presence dodged him and most of the time, it was the boy who dodged them.

Next, Narukami caught a glimpse of something on where the boy fell. Small piece of black cloth of a shirt, exactly the same as the one the boy had. 

He crouched down to take a closer as he grabbed it. Examined it by turning it around, showing every possible side.

As he turned the side, there was an incomplete icon or perhaps logo.

'All…'

Seeing the logo too, she completed the missing word, "All Beyond."

A simple logo yet instilled strange feeling. This lasted for a brief moment in someone's mind that it was quite hard to notice.

"Senpai, that boy..."

"He's an official Sorcerer. From the first glimpse, it looks like he ran from the battlefield. Though, I doubt that's the case." Narukami calmly spoke about his deduction as he stood up.

"I recognize him."

The boy's aroma found a way to enter his nostrils as memory slid through his mind. Yea, he etched every scent of official Sorcerers into his mind.

He would know if there was a new sorcerer in the branch and get ahead of everyone in terms of information. Furthermore, if an intruder was disguising themselves self as an official Sorcerer, he would instantly notice.

"He's in another squad in the same division as mine. I remembered that once, he's trying to save a mother protecting her son from an Anomaly. This boy chose to offer his life instead."

He saw him fight a few times. As his fighting style was inconspicuous, making him like a run-of-the-mill Sorcerer, a weak one to be exact, his desire to fight for others was incredible. He probably wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice his life if needed.

"So why would he…"

"His squad probably encountered an Anomaly they couldn't defeat. He ran to get help from anyone who is a Sorcerer."

"But he just passed you."

"Because I intentionally set my spiritual energy to that of an ordinary human. Every Sorcerer emits that. It is also how others know your strength. I don't want to be disturbed while on break." 

"Spiritual energy… To be disturbed…" Aya recited his words as she reorganized her thoughts before saying.

"Senpai, you're the worst," She said slightly displeased and disappointed.

"That hurts, Aya. I do this because I've my reasons. My position in the organization is a bit… complicated. You'll understand sooner or later."
