「 Babah 」
"Mom, I have a bad feeling about this."
"My emotions are in turmoil."
"This Lady Hybris is starting to get to me."
"Can't you do something about this?"
「 Olivia 」
"I understand your concern, Babah."
"As one of your eidolon, I can't do anything about the situation."
"It would help if you went through every emotion in order to master them."
"The only help you can get is from the people around you."
Babah was deep in thought as he listened to Olivia's reasoning.
"Share your feelings with them."
"Care for them."
"Love them, my son."
「 Babah 」
"Love them?"
「 Olivia 」
"Yes, Babah."
"Love is a powerful emotion that can bring people together, inspire empathy, and foster understanding."
"By opening your heart to others, you can create strong connections and find support in times of need."
Babah pondered Olivia's words, realizing the truth behind them. Love wasn't just about romantic affection, but also about caring for and appreciating the people around him.
「 Babah 」
"You're right, Mom."
"Love is a powerful force."
"Since I came to this world, I was overly mesmerized with Zanno's life."
"How I was given an opportunity to start anew in another world."
"I forgot about who I was."
"I forgot about those who were dear to me."
"I forgot about love..."
"The love for my mother and father."
"The love for my wife and kids."
"The love for my friends."
"But the most important thing that I have forgotten since I came here is..."
"The love for The Creator."
"Astaghfirullah-al 'azeem..."
With his determination revitalized, Babah made up his mind to overcome Lady Hybris and the challenges ahead in order to save Zanno from the depth of sin. Armed with his unyielding love for his Creator and his loved ones, Babah set out on a path of redemption and guidance. He knew that in order to help Zanno, he needed to rediscover his own purpose and reconnect with the values that defined him.
As Babah ventured forth, he began to seek solace in prayer and reflection. He sought forgiveness and guidance from his Creator, seeking strength to overcome the temptations and trials that lay ahead.
With each prayer, Babah felt a renewed sense of purpose and a deep connection to his faith. He understood that his journey was not just about saving Zanno but also about his own spiritual growth and the impact he could make on the lives of others.
Babah's love for his Creator and the lessons learned from his past motivated him to confront Lady Hybris and guide Zanno back to the path of righteousness. Despite the challenges ahead, he was determined to face them with faith as his guide and love as his armor.
「 Zanno 」
"Relocated? Development?"
"Pros... And cons?"
A deep voice came out from Zanno, filled with a mix of confusion, concern, and a hint of vulnerability. Mayor Rachmat and Laksmana Bujang exchanged glances, realizing the magnitude of the decision they were presenting to the young prodigy.
"Do you really think of me as a tool?"
"Something that can be moved at your own will?"
"Something that you can develop?"
"SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN CONTROL?!"

「 Babah 」
"Mom... Zanno is getting more and more black XP's."
"This is bad."
"He is going to lose control if this keeps up."
「 Olivia 」
"Like I said earlier, Babah."
"I don't have the capacity to do anything."
"Maybe you can think of something?"
Babah closed his eyes as he pressed his tongue to the roof of his mouth. He began to dzikir in order to calm himself and think of a solution. Babah's rhythmic dzikir brought a sense of tranquility and clarity to his mind. As he immersed himself in the remembrance of his Creator, he focused on seeking guidance and wisdom to help Zanno overcome his inner turmoil.
In the midst of his prayer, a thought occurred to Babah. He realized that he needed to reach out to Zanno not only as a friend but also as someone who genuinely cared for him. He needed to remind Zanno of the love and support that surrounded him, and the importance of embracing those bonds.
Babah opened his eyes, a newfound determination shining in them. He knew what he needed to do in order to pull Zanno back.
「 Babah 」
"Mom... I must remind Zanno of the love that exists within and around him."
"I will approach him with compassion and understanding, guiding him back to the path of righteousness."
Babah took a deep breath and tried to approach Zanno, who was still caught in the midst of his outburst.
"Zanno, my friend, I understand your frustration and confusion."
"But let me assure you, don't see yourself as a mere tool or something to be controlled."
"We should explore every option we have."
"Remember, I am always here with you."
Zanno listened to Babah's counsel, his expression a mix of anger and vulnerability.
「 Zanno 」
"But why should I go to the capital?"
"Why should I leave everything behind?"
"Why do they treat me like a tool?"
「 Babah 」
"Zanno, sometimes growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones."
"The capital offers opportunities for you to further develop your talents and expand your horizons."
"It's not about control, but about providing you with the resources and guidance needed to reach your full potential."
Babah lifted some of the weight on Zanno's shoulder, his words were gentle and comforting.
"But remember, Zanno, you are not alone in this journey."
"Everyone is here for you."
"Mom is literally in you."
"Dad has always been supportive."
"And your friends from 1 Red."
"They even showed up during our fake recovery ceremony!"
"Even the people in Cardinal Peaks believe in you."
"We love you, and we want to see you thrive."
Zanno's anger began to subside, replaced by a mixture of uncertainty and longing for connection.
「 Zanno 」
"I... I don't know, Babah."
"It's just so overwhelming."
「 Babah 」
"You don't have to have all the answers right now."
"Take your time to consider the options."
"But always remember that love and support will be with you, no matter where your path may lead."
As Babah spoke, he infused his words with sincerity and genuine care. He hoped that his message would resonate with Zanno and help him find solace in the midst of his inner turmoil.
Zanno's expression softened, and he looked at Babah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
「 Zanno 」
"Thank you, Babah."
"I... I needed to hear that."
「 Babah 」
"If you are still skeptical, let's use Appraisal on them."
"I am sure this will provide some useful insights for you to make your decision."
「 Zanno 」
"Well... I guess you are right."
"Mom, can you use Appraisal on the Laksmana?"
「 Laksmana Bujang 」
"Zanno, the decision to relocate you to the capital was made after careful consideration and discussions."
"It is not meant to diminish your worth or limit your choices."
"We believe that by being in the capital, you can receive specialized training and guidance that will allow you to reach your full potential."
「 Olivia 」
"Sure, dear..."
