The people inside the tower of the Great Ancestor within the Monk Clan discussed many things now. They were getting ready for Frank to come at any moment, but they were still discussing it even now that he had just arrived…

"We owe him a big apology… So all of you must remain polite and gentle if possible, don't dare raise your voice against him!" said the Great Ancestor.

All the Elders nodded, even as old as they were, they recognized when they committed a bit mistake…

"No… Great Ancestor, let me take the burden. It was all, after all, my fault. I was the one that left the report that Frank's house was now secured with my seals… I was naïve. I didn't think it enough nor I was considered enough… I should had used better seals and reinforce the security way better… It is all my fault… I will take the responsibility, and any punishment!" said Matsuo's father, as he kneeled before everyone.

His wife, Matsuo's mother, glanced at him with pity and concern.

"D-Dear…!" she cried, she didn't want to insult her husband's resolve but felt terrible over this.

"T-Then let me bear the burden with my husband! I was also at fault, I should have encouraged him to aid better the boy…! Please…" she cried.

"W-What are you doing? D-Don't…!" said Matsuo's father.

"I-I told you that I would remain with you forever! I will also bear your burdens… we'll bear them together… Sniff…" cried the woman.

"Don't be so melodramatic. I had already decided that all of us shall bear the burden after the Elders convinced me… However, I shall take 90% of it," said the Great Ancestor.

"But Great Ancestor… You have divine blood flowing through your veins… You shouldn't…!" said Matsuo's father.

"Stop already, it is decided… And he's here," said the Great Ancestor, as the gates of the hall opened…

From them came four figures…

Matsuo, Frank, Gwendolyn, and Kamei.

Kamei seemed surprised to see so many people. She was the most "normal" of everyone present…

Gwendolyn seemed to have a stern look, although she felt nervous inside, she knew that these people had done something bad to Frank by what Matsuo had said about them owing him an apology…

And Frank seemed to be rather relaxed, casually entering the hall with a nervous Matsuo at his side.

Frank immediately recognized that everyone within the hall looked at him as if he was something incredibly precious as if he were some sort of treasure of sorts… something that everyone valued a lot. Which had never happened before. Even the Great Ancestor's eyes seemed to sparkle as she saw him at long last.

Frank didn't realize that they were able to see through most of his lesser artifacts, so they were able to easily notice that Gwendolyn was a Fox-kin beast-woman, who exuded a divine aura of fire of a quality almost identical to the Great Ancestor, that Kamei's Divine Aura was of pure holiness that seemed to pierce all evil, filled with purity, and then that Frank's sole presence seemed like a perfect convergence between Darkness and Light like nothing they had ever seen before as if he was the sole personification of the balance between Yin and Yang…

These three were not normal at all!

"(T-This… As he become a God already?! And those two at his side… they're surely Demigods!)" thought the Great Ancestor, feeling even more desire to become an ally of such people.

The trio walked at the side of Matsuo as they sat down before the people in the hall…

"Welcome, Frank… It has been a long time since we had seen…" said the Great Ancestor politely.

"Thank you, Great Ancestor. The people I bring with me are my family. Gwendolyn is my wife, while Kamei is my young sister," said Frank, presenting the two girls at his sides.

Everyone was surprised when they learned that this beast-woman was in fact Frank's wife! The Monk Clan wasn't all that open-minded, although they had some allies that had some monster or beastmen bloodlines, they were most of the time almost completely human anyways.

However… Gwendolyn was as clear as water that she held a strong beast bloodline and was in all of its totality a beast-woman. Her enormous ears and multiple tails already said that she was a high-ranked Fox-kin… no, they even began to think that she might be a descendant of Tamamo No Mae, a Kitsune! And funnily enough, her race had changed to Kitsune after she drank Frank's blood…

However, they couldn't say anything to her, her power was way too high for them to even dare to raise their voice against her, and as she was an ally of Frank, it would be a great offense to him, who had just said that she was his wife…

"(He has such a strong Kitsune as a wife?! Is she… good-aligned? I don't see any evil within her gaze…)" thought the Great Ancestor.

"I see. Welcome to my humble territory, Gwendolyn, Kamei…" said the Great Ancestor.

"We bring you here because we wanted to cordially… apologize…" sighed Matsuo.

"For what?" asked Frank.

Everyone sighed once more. It was going to be even worse as he seems to have forgotten… Now, they would need to remind him of the bad things they did and then ask for forgiveness, which might only arise more conflict at the end…

"Well…"

The Great Ancestor and everyone present slowly explained everything to Frank, from the oracles of Gaia to Matsuo's father's negligence over protecting his home properly.

Frank nodded in understanding. It seems that he had not forgotten, but merely didn't care anymore.

"Oh, that. Well, if you want to apologize so badly, then why don't you help me? Do you know where are my parent's corpses? Oh, and Wasp's hideout? And maybe his boss too?" asked Frank.

Frank seemed to be dead set on his own goals, and had nonchalantly asked for such things right away!

"About Wasp and his boss… We might need to discuss that later, but about your parents… Yes, we know where their corpses are," said Matsuo.

"Please, bring me there," said Frank.
