Walking up lightly, the girl's silvery white hair decomposed loosely into the air beautifully. He hummed once in a while, so impatient to start his first day at the shop where he worked. Nanra walked down the main street and reached the town hall, then without stopping her excitement she immediately turned towards the road that led to the business district.
But when at the intersection of the road, his excitement began to change with wonder. Several soldiers and guards stood guard around the town hall until the intersection of the business district, feeling a slightly gripping atmosphere and the silence in the morning for him felt different from usual.
For a moment stopping the footsteps by the roadside, the girl stared at the few soldiers who were gathering at the intersection. He wanted to approach them and ask, but the hesitation in his mind brought him to a halt. At a glance lowered his anxious face, then was about to step back.
“You came early this morning, Dik?” greet someone from behind him.
Soon turning his head, Nanra saw the two Butlers who worked for Arca Rein — Ligh and Logi, the two brothers who were twins were not identical. One had a slightly pale skin and brown hair, then the other had a slightly exotic complexion with blonde hair. Both of them were dressed in tuxedo uniforms, looking neat and had just come from the direction of the main gate of the city.
“Hmm, I want to go to the store now.” Nanra bowed respectfully, then stood up straight again and put on a friendly smile. “Yeah, because yesterday Mr. Odo bullied me to the point of not being able to stay at the store, as a result I have to prepare from the orphanage,” he said with a little bit of a joke.
Ligh and Logi looked at each other with slightly anxious faces. From Nanra's expression and words, the two of them could tell that the child had not heard anything about what happened yesterday. Thinking that the children in the incident could not be out by the adults, they both chose to be quiet and not tell it.
“Then, let's go there. We also want to pick up Mr. Arca,” Logi said.
Putting his hand to the front of his chest and slightly bowing, Ligh also revealed, “He stayed there and has not returned to the inn, maybe that's why Mr. Odo made Dik Nanra come home. Looks like they're talking about something important ...”
Nanra tilted her head slightly to the right. Putting his index finger under his own lips, he put on a curious face and said, “Let's get there, Mr. Logi, Mr. Ligh. I wonder what they do without me.”

Arriving in front of the Ordoxi Nigrum shop, the three of them momentarily stopped for a moment and did not directly enter. The voices of several people's debates were heard seeping out from behind the door, leaving the three people feeling confused and a little reluctant to open it. Arca's voice was heard most often and loudly, then among them was also the voice of a woman.
“Morning is already crowded once they,” muttered Logi.
With a light smile Ligh connected, “Well, rarely do we see Mr Arca this excited, ‘kan? If at home, he continues to grim, anyway.”
“Truely said!” reply Logi while patting his partner's back.
Nanra didn't really understand what they were talking about. Without knocking on the door first, the girl opened the shop door and looked inside. On one of the tables inside, Odo, Arca, Elulu, and Lisia are seen arguing about something. Their eye bags were all slightly blackened from drowsiness, except for Odo who looked very fresh in shape.
Instantly everyone inside was fixed on the open door, staring intently at the three people who had just arrived. The statue immediately sat back down, massaged its own forehead and looked completely exhausted after the argument with Odo and Lisia.
Showing a not-so-different gurgle, Lisia dropped her face on the table and felt her head about to explode after being used thinking more than three hours non-stop. Sitting not far from the Mayor's Substitute, Elulu looks chaotic hearing the crazy conversations of these people.
The only one who was still in prime condition was Odo, the young man with black hair gazing towards Nanra and the others. “Yo! Good early in the morning you have come,” said the young man while getting up from his seat. Directly switching focus on work, Odo Luke looked at the girl and asked, “Nanra, means your work today continues the bookkeeping on the second floor, ‘kan?”
Seeing that the young man was acting without the slightest fatigue after thinking about many things at once, Arca and Lisia gave annoyed gazes. The son of the Rein family felt hooked, he immediately got up and shouted, “Where might I lose again, you damn it!”
“Be-True ...” With a limp, Lisia forced the body to wake up trembling. Of the three people, the woman with red hair was the paleest face and looked so limp that it could have collapsed due to the wind.
“Hmm ...” Odo turned his head, put on a thin smile and said, “Good you guys are excited. But if there is less rest, you will not hold it until the afternoon, loh.”
“Nih, child.” Drowning, Arca flaps her hands and complains, “What's wrong who tried? Debate until the sun starts rising like this ..”
Odo turned around, while walking back to the table where they were he said, “Well, no problem, ‘kan? We can get many conclusions from this.” Lifting his right hand with the back of the glove facing forward, the young man in black hair activated the storage dimension and took out three Potion bottles. Putting that on the table, Odo casually said, “Drink this! Great for added stamina.”
Both Arca and Lisia's brows twitched at a glance, completely exhausted of thought and feeling so tired to be shocked. The potion that the young man of black hair put down was clearly a top quality recovery medicine, the glitter and aura radiance seen inside the clear bottle told them about it.
“This is not because of my firefly-fedged eyes, ‘kan?” arca.
“I don't think, in my eyes also see sparkly inside this bottle,” Lisia reply.
Taking a deep breath, Arca threw away the doubt and took the bottle. He immediately opened the cover and immediately downed the potion, then after running out the empty bottle was immediately thrown to the floor until it broke.
“Uwah~! Feels ena—Ugk!”
Odo was surprised and immediately hit the face of Arca hard. The Rein family's son fell to the floor with a nearby chair.
“Dog! Why slammed everything!” snapped Odo.
Everyone was shocked to see that, having a moment of panic as the young man in black hair suddenly got angry and punched Arca hard. Both Butlers wanted to run towards them, but stopped because they felt it was not a fight.
“Damn it! What the hell are you doing?! Sa—!” Arca's words came to a halt, the pain she should have felt was simply not felt. Not only that, bruises do not appear, fatigue and even fatigue completely disappear.
He wanted to ask Odo about the efficacy. But seeing the black-haired youth kneeling lamenting the broken potion bottle on the floor, Arca felt a little guilty for breaking it. The blonde youth immediately woke up, cleaned his clothes and turned his face away.
Stubbornly he said, “That's just a bottle, you don't have to mourn it until that. The most price is just how much.”
“Wait! Wait!” Arca took Odo's hand off his collar, then with a slightly paled face look dodged, “You are also from an aristocratic family, ‘kan? No need to be angry until like that, you are a boy!”
Odo placed his right palm onto his own face, gazing from the sidelines of his fingers and coming back intimidating. It really made the Sculpture shiver in fear, feeling like it was being stared at by a creature from the pitch darkness. However as Odo sighed and stopped putting his hand to the face, that kind of aura disappeared from him.
“Haaaaah, whatever.” Odo scratched the back of the head, continued to sigh a few times and said, “If you do such a thing again, I will make sure my next blow will make your head loose from the body.”
“You ... kidding, ‘kan?” ask Arca worriedly.
Not answering the question, Odo turned to face Lisia and Elulu and said, “You two also drank it, enough to restore stamina, you know. But please don't slam the bottle, make it difficult.”
“Say that's a joke, Odo!” said Arca panic.
The son of Luke's family just turned his head lightly, then threw a thin grin without saying anything. That added makes Arca tremble and feel that the speech before it is not just a joke.
After Lisia and Elulu drank the potion, their faces brightened again and all the fatigue quickly disappeared. Surprised by the instant efficacy, Elulu said, “Not if sold can profit a lot?”
“Ah, I also had time to think so.” Odo immediately looked at him and pointed. With a little regret, he revealed, “But if mass-produced, the ecosystem around here could be damaged. Too bad the herb can not be produced in large quantities for salebuy.”
Elulu again asked, “What because of the bottle?”
“Materials also.” Odo briefly raised both sides of his shoulders, then slightly disappointedly said, “I can't name them all, but one of the ingredients is a pure Ether extract that makes gas, ' he said, then it is deposited until it becomes a liquid. Other materials are also quite rare.”
“Not it if it is like that the price can even go up rapidly?”
Odo looked away, then grimly replied, “I don't want any conflict from my concoction. It is very efficacious, can cure many diseases and for sure if sold it is very expensive. That's why I don't want to sell it.”
“And you use it like it's a stamina-added drug on the market?” tangent Arca in the talk.
Odo looked at the blonde young man, then smilingly said, “You are not strangers to me. So, I don't think it's a problem .... Today will be a hard day, can be critical if you are not prime, right?”
The words strangely touched the minds of the three of them, so foreign and infiltrated into the chest. Odo Luke's trust and the strange charisma he has, things like that make the three of them want to help with everything they can do.
Odo clapped his hands once, breaking the existing atmosphere and getting rid of awkwardness. The young man in black hair took the shop-related files from the table, then immediately turned around and handed them to Nanra.
“Please archive these files, order by date and group by mail origin,” Odo command with a friendly smile.
“Hmm! Sure!”
After receiving the files with both hands, Nanra immediately turned around and quickly stepped out to climb upstairs. But when he wanted to get out, he passed Mavis who had just come down from above.
The girl was immediately stunned by the beauty of the Light Witch, she did not have time to say hello because of embarrassment and immediately went back into the store and hid behind Odo. Logi and Ligh gave way to the Light Witch, bowing their heads with great respect.
“You've been up since, my son? Why not wake up Mother too?” mavis asked as she stepped inside the store.
As the blonde woman entered the room, her grace and strong charisma made everyone inside bow their heads and pay their respects from the bottom. Although he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday and only smoothed his hair after waking up, his charisma was not at all reduced. The only person who was not affected was Odo, the young man stared flatly and felt that what his mother had was indeed genuine for a Saint.
Given what happened last night, Arca and Elulu are a little anxious about Odo and are afraid that he will have another fight with his mother. The son of the Rein family glanced at the young man with black hair without raising his head, then in his mind said, “Do not make Lady angry again, Odo!”
“Ya, from earlier.” He walked towards Mavis, putting on a friendly smile as if not at all concerned about what happened last night. “Mother alone is enough rest?” ask him to start the conversation.
“Hmm, although not as plump as sleeping right at home, Mommy is happy to sleep with you even for a while.”
Mavis glanced at Nanra at a glance, beginning to feel a little astonished because her son really wanted to hire such a small girl as his secretary. Looking back at her son, the blonde woman asked, “Do you want to hire a child like her? The girl ..., she has already done the maturity ceremony, ‘kan?”
Odo turned his head towards Nanra, then represented her asking, “What's up, Nanra?”
The girl looked to the right and left anxiously, so groggy the marchioness looked at. Shivering lowered his face, in a soft voice he replied, “Be-Not yet, but this year I am already 11 years old and next year will follow the ceremony of maturity ..”.
“Still 11 years, yes?”
Mavis put on a slightly doubtful expression, feeling that hiring a minor was not a good thing. But when looking at Odo, it also felt like that. His son will only be 9 years old at the end of the month, in other words he is also underage.
“If classed as an apprentice, doesn't it matter that he works for me?” asked Odo while looking at Mavis.
“Hmm, for the problem Mother also feels no problem. But ...” Mavis stared flatly at her son, put her right hand in front of her mouth and thought of a few things. Sighing once and raising his hand from the front of his mouth, he held Odo's left shoulder and said, “Kata Fiola, you created a fake identity in order to take care of the company's papers and build them, huh? Though you yourself have not done the first baptism, but instead ..”.
Odo gasped a little, turned his face away anxiously and completely did not think that his mother would discuss such a matter now. Arca raised her face, walked over and asked, “Monya Mavis, has Odo not been baptized? If not wrong, his age is now ..”
