Death... and me

Rean nodded as he asked Roan through their Soul Connection, 'So, why would you suddenly let them come with us?'

'They're being pursued,' Roan answered.

Rean and Sister Orb were surprised to hear that. 'Just that? That can't be right!'

[Yes! There's no way you would go out of your way just because someone else is having problems!]

Roan confirmed their suspicions as he told them in response, 'Obviously! You know very well that I'm far from being some good samaritan.' Roan then glanced in the direction that this duo's pursuers were watching. 'It seems like the ones pursuing them are part of the City Lord of Kilas City. The guy watching them from far away just so happens to be using the uniform of those from the City Lord's mansion.' Rean and Roan had walked through the city during the last few hours, so they had seen the members of the City Lord's mansion wearing the same uniforms.

Rean found it weird. 'That doesn't make sense. If the City Lord's forces have a problem with them, there's no way they would do something like following them from behind.'

Roan nodded in agreement. 'Exactly. They could totally come out in the open and apprehend these two. No one would stop them as few could put up an argument with the City Lord's mansion.' 

Rean then smiled as he finally understood what was happening. 'No wonder you want to help. You just find it interesting. What could possibly be happening? Now even I want to know.'

Rean then looked at the duo before asking, "Now then, what're your names?"

The man was the first to answer, introducing himself to the two. "I'm Fatax Puki."

Of course, the young woman introduced herself after. "You can call me Eminia Puki."

Rean didn't find their names a surprise. "I could indeed see some semblance between you two. So, you're siblings, huh? By the way, you can call me Rean. The rock on my side is Roan."

Roan simply nodded in response, not even bothering to answer Rean's comment.

Rean then looked at the Demon Beast Taming Guild's worker before asking, "Hey, friend. Is our Golden Rascol ready to go?"

The guy, who had been waiting for Rean's group to end their conversation, nodded as he replied, "Yes, Senior Rean and Roan." The man showed a decent level of respect as he knew that the twins were Five Star Beast Tamers. "Your Golden Rascol was a little strained from its flight from Cosec City. It seems like it had been confined for quite sometime before that as well. However, I applied a lotion on his body to help with its recovery. It also took a pill to help with its blood circulation during the next flight. It should be able to fly continuously for four or so days before it needs to stop and rest."

The twins were very satisfied with that. "Very good. How much was the service?"

"These kinds of simple services are free for Five Star Beast Tamers and above, sirs," the worker replied. "People like you are the ones who bring most of the guild's incomes, so we keep these services as rewards."

Rean pondered over it for a bit and understood. The Beast Taming Guild was responsible for many travels and other services using high-level demon beasts. When anyone came to ask for these services, they must first pay a fee to the guild before looking for the tamer. No doubt Fatax and Eminia already paid their own. Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to be in this place. "Is that so? Then, I'll thank you very much."

Rean and Roan then jumped on the Golden Rascol's back and looked at the brother and sister duo. "Are you coming or not? We have finished everything we had to do in this city already."

"Yes, yes! We don't have anything else to do either." The siblings quickly jumped on the Golden Rascol's back before they passed a bag to Rean. Inside, Rean found the 100 Divine Stones they had agreed upon.

"Very good. This is quite a windfall since Roan and I didn't expect to make any profit during this travel." Rean quickly put the Divine Stones away before patting the Golden Rascol's feathers, telling it, "Little Rascal, let's go."

"Ras...cal?" The siblings couldn't help but find that name slightly hilarious.

Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing Rean's words. "You complain about me naming the pervert bird Kentucky. But here you are, naming it Rascal just because the names are similar."

"Exactly!" Rean didn't deny it at all. "It's at least better than KFC's fried chicken."

Rascal didn't really understand much, but he knew that it was time to fly, so it quickly took off. Once again, the twins made their way through the city's north side, not being stopped as they were high-level members of the Beast Taming Guild.

Once they flew a hundred kilometers away from the city, Rean finally took his time to check Fatax and Eminia. Both of them had slightly greenish features, which extended to their hairs. If one didn't pay close attention, one would definitely think they were humans. Of course, that wasn't the case. "So, what race are you from?" Rean and Roan definitely had seen a lot less than most people, so it was normal for them to be curious.

"Oh, we're part of the Graskin Race," Eminia answered.

"Graskin Race?" Rean had definitely not heard of that race before. Well, he wasn't surprised by that anyway. "Does your race have any specialty?"

Eminia and Fatax nodded before Fatax answered, "We're very good at controlling the Wood Element."

"Oh! The fusion of Earth and Water Element, right?" Rean asked back. He had rarely seen people with this specific element usage. The one that he remembered the most was the guy he and Roan fought back in Sunkan Planet.

Fatax and Eminia nodded in response. "Indeed. However, we don't really need to do the fusion. Wood Element comes as a natural trait for us."

"I see...the Realm of Gods is really full of wonders," Rean could not help but say in response.

Roan narrowed his eyes, though. These siblings could have fooled anyone else. However, it's not easy when it came to Death.. 'They are lying.'
