After bidding farewell to the owl, Bazel exited the library and found Loki, who was bored and dozing off.
As for Ripley.
Nothing strange had happened between them, nor was there any strange agreement, at least not now.
From a human perspective, while he also found the Tontatta T...

After Loki left with Bazel, a gentle breeze rustled the tree canopy higher up.
It revealed Harald's large, scarred face, lost in thought.
"My King, is this really appropriate? Letting Loki bring a human to this place."
Harald shook his head, "Don't go around talking about this m...

The north wind rustled, and heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
"It just stopped, and now it's starting again! This weather!" Karui, a dark-skinned Kunoichi with fiery red hair, looked up at the vast white sky and complained.
"Maybe the enemy has already used the snow to escape. Or...

The snow that had been falling continuously through the night had finally stopped. The vast wilderness was serene, with the morning sunlight spilling over white roofs, walls, and gates that seemed to merge with the earth, reflecting softly.

Elbaf, Aurust Castle, Study.
Bazel sat up, the long-awaited bickering finally restoring some of his spirits.
"So, you want to take him there for a tour and then completely tie him to our chariot, right?"
The Den Den Mushi clicked its tongue in displeasure, its expression gradual...

Just as the Beasts Pirates were about to embark on their adventure in Elbaf, far away in the Sabaody Archipelago in Paradise.
A disheveled man was hiding in the ruins of Grove 16.
His body was emaciated, his makeup blurred by sweat.

Outside, the world was blanketed in white, the snow showing no signs of stopping. As night fell, the two inside the wooden house sat by the warmth of the fire, one chattering endlessly, the other silent.

Bazel frowned, lowering his head. He felt like he had grasped something extremely important.

Jarul stood to the side without speaking, his head nodding as if he were dozing off.

He wasn't stupid.

But a pyrrhic one.
Even Hanafuda and King were exhausted to the point of lying down.
The former was forced to retire early after taking several hits from Giants like Loki did, while the latter was simply worn out.
