Closing his logbook, Primis looked down and saw that all the kids had fallen asleep around him. After playing UNO for an hour or so, they started to get tired. So, Primis called them and gave them something to eat. Once they were full, they chatted for a few minutes before falling asleep. Primis sighed seeing their sleeping faces and shook his head. Though there was a slight gentleness in his eyes.
Sheng Ming: You are really good at handling children, Husband.
Primis: Well, I used to be a caretaker of an Orphanage. So, I know how to handle kids.
Sheng Ming: So that's how it is.
Raising his head, Primis looked at the Horizon.

Boy 1: Father, let's go to the park.
Girl 1: No, let's go to eat something.
Boy 2: But I prefer to remain here. You all can go.
Boy 3: You bookworm. You are coming or I will drag you.
Girl 2: Father, I want to buy new clothes.
Girl 3: Me too.
Girl 4: Me three.
Boy 4: No, I want a soccer ball first. You girls always take hours to select your dresses.
Boy 5: I agree. Once our shopping is done then you can take as much time as you need.
Girl 5: No way.
Girl 6: Haven't you heard, Ladies first.
Girl 7: That's right, ladies first.
Boy 6: Boo. Boo. Too bad you are not ladies. You are just brats.

All Boys: ..................….
Girl 13: Mn~. It's delicious. Try this one.
Girl 14: Wow~ It is. Try mine.
Girl 15: HEY DOES ANYONE WANT CHOCOLATE SHAKE!!!!!!!!!
All Girls: ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All Boys looked down at the table. There they saw many different flavors of cakes, desserts, shakes and so on at it. They all shivered seeing them. Since they successfully tricked the girls and got their playing stuff first, their father let the girls choose where they want to eat. And the girls chose this Cake shop. In this there's an all-you-can-eat buffet. The food they provided was good but there's one problem. And that's there's only sweet food. From cake, desserts, breads to Shakes. Every food was sweet. Unlike girls who were eating everything while smiling, boys got sick of it after eating for a few minutes.
'All Boys: It's revenge. For sure.'
Next, all the boys there their gaze towards the window of the shop. On the other side of the road, they saw a man who was eating hotdog. The man as if sensed their gaze and looked at them. He then smiled and gave them a wave. Just when the boys were about to show a begging expression, the man looked away.
'???: I told these brats before not to mess with the girls, but they didn't listen. Now you pay for it.'
The man who appeared to be their father gave the boys one last glance before concentrating on his hotdog again.
'???: I guess from now on these brats will stay away from any kind of sweet stuff.'

Ophis: Primis.
Returning back to himself, Primis looked at Ophis who was sitting on his lap while looking directly into his eyes. Taking a sigh, Primis started patting her head and spoke.
Primis: It's nothing. Just some old memories.
Ophis: Mn.
Nodding her head, Ophis became silent. Then he looked in front and saw Sheng Ming looking at him with a worried expression. Though she was not the only one, even Ais who was standing behind him also had the same expression.
Primis: We are done here.
Saying this he stood after putting Ophis back on his left shoulder. Once Sheng Ming also stood up from her chair, he waved his hand and both the table and chairs disappeared.
Primis: Ophis, send them back to their rooms in their hideout.
Ophis: Ok.
Replied Ophis before a glint passed in her eyes. Next, Kurome, Akame, Cornelia, Poney, Tsukushi, Guy, Green, and Najasho disappeared. Primis moved his gaze all around this beautiful place before using Darkness Incantation Symbol. As a result, this entire place was surrounded by darkness. Now, no one could walk through this darkness to reach the other side. Because if they try, they will get lost in this Darkness.
Primis: Time to leave.
Space ripped, abyssal dark vortex appeared, and they entered it one-by-one.
**
**
**
Far away from the Empire, no, from the very continent of the Empire. Above the sea, the vortex appeared and Primis and others walked out.
Ais: A sea. Huh.
No matter where you looked, you could only see was the endless water. At this time, Sheng Ming turned her gaze in a certain direction.
Sheng Ming: That's Another Country.
Ais: Another Country?
Ais followed Sheng Ming's gaze but couldn't find what she was looking at.
Sheng Ming: It's still quite far away, Little Sister. That's why you can't see it.
Ais: Oh. My Lord, I didn't know that there existed another country except The Empire. What kind of country is it?
Ais and Sheng Ming already had a blind trust in Primis by now. They felt he knew everything. Nevertheless, Primis didn't fail to live up to their expectations.
Primis: In this world, there exists two continents. The first belongs to The Empire. The second belongs to Wakoku.
Sheng Ming: So, that's Wakoku.
Primis: Yes. Wakoku is divided into 22 nations. And each nation is always fighting for the rulership of the entire Wakoku.
Ais: All the time?
Primis: All the time.
Sheng Ming: ................
Ais: ........................
Primis: Anyway, Wakoku itself has advanced technology and its people are capable of forging Meihou. Meihou is just another name for Teigu-like weapons.
Ais: They can make Teigus.
Ais got flabbergasted hearing this. It should be known that the first Emperor of the Empire used everything to create 48 Teigus. Till that time, no one had the knowledge how to create one. Yet, there exists not a person or nation but an entire Continent who knew how to create Teigus. If this information reached The Empire, then it wouldn't hesitate to wage war on this Continent to get its hand on this technology.
Ophis: Numerous blacksmiths in these 22 nations have the knowledge on how to create these Weapons. Of course, you need to provide them with the materials and money if you want them to create one for yourself.
Primis: Mn. Such knowledge of how to create them is common among their smiths. This sets them apart from the other nations of this world, such as the Empire. Despite being more technologically advanced & developed than Wakoku is in some areas, they still have not yet figured out how to mass produce Danger Beast-made weapons as the nations of Wakoku have.
Ais: Amazing.
Ophis: There's more to it.
Ais: There's more?
As Ais and Sheng Ming turned to Ophis, she took some time before speaking.
Ophis: Because Wakoku's smiths and sword forgers themselves are world renown and known to have extremely advanced techniques in creating Meihou, during ancient times, they even had a direct hand in assisting the First Emperor of the Empire in creating one of the strongest Teigu.
Primis: One-Cut Killer: Murasame.
Ais: ..................…
Sheng Ming: ............…
Both became silent hearing this. After a few seconds, Sheng Ming spoke.
Sheng Ming: Is that why we are here?
Primis: Yes.
Ais: But my Lord, even if "One-Cut Killer: Murasame" is one of the strongest Teigu of this World, its still useless to you, isn't it? Then why are we here?
Ophis: True. It's useless to not only Primis but also all of us. Still, there exists those who will do everything to get their hands on it.
Ais: .....................…Invaders.
Said Ais with a chilly tone. There was also killing intent in her eyes, but she hid it in the next second.
Sheng Ming: So, they are after the origin of "One-Cut Killer: Murasame". Huh.
Primis: The more knowledge they have, the easier time for them to get their hands on it.
Ais: I see. Then why are we here. Shouldn't we have teleported to Wakoku.
Ophis: No. Wakoku came into being when a group of islands came and joined. The Island on which "One-Cut Killer: Murasame" was created thousand years ago, separated from Wakoku because of one of their wars and drifted in the sea.
Primis: We are here for that Island. Invaders are there.
