Ises was accused for stealing the ingredients of the soup he'll be making for his friends, but the truth is, he didn't stole anything, there's no paper bag left and Ises insisted carrying what he bought.
Ises's P.O.V
-Buying-
"Oh, haha. Thanks, I don't mind carrying it all if you don't have any paper bags left, also, it's just nothing for me"
; /smiled.
"I'm so sorry young man, sales today have gotten higher, so it turns out there's no paper bags left"
; vendor.
"Nah, just like I said it's fine, also it's great to know that sales have gotten higher"
; Ises.
"Yeah, I'm so happy because it doesn't always happen"

"Hey!! you there! (pointing at the guards standing beside different stalls) catch that thief!!"
; The soldier ordered.
"Why do people here do such dirty things!! haven't they learn??"

"Damn, I need to get away here"
"I can't hold this things anymore argh!!"
"You should better run or else we might torture you to death!!"
; Yelled the soldier.
"Ha! As if you'll ever catch me!!"
; Ises shouted as he replied and looks back.
He runs toward open spaces where he could freely jump and dive through stalls that the soldiers might not catch him.
The soldiers continues to follow Ises.
Methedeces and Selene came.
"Right about damn time someone came to join!!"
;Ises /still running while looking behind.

; Ises explained /sits.
"You were what?"
; Asked Sierinn.
"Do I have to say it again?"
; Ises /looking at Shwif with one of his eyebrows lift up.
"Why would they suspect you stealing?"
; Axis asked.
"They didn't, they just said it. It's because I don't have any paper bags to put what I've brought"
; Ises answered.
"Maybe you really look suspicious"
; Maxx /chuckles.
"Shut up"
;Ises.
"Have they seen your face?"
; Lean asked.
"Uh, probably no"
;Ises. /stands.
"But I guess those two saw"
;Ises added.

;Ises. /smirked.
"Like we will"

"You lost him??"
;Asked the soldier /stands.
"Uh, you all lost him first"
;Selene.
"Selene. Uhm, I apologize, but.. that man didn't stole anything"
; Methedeces /looking straight up.
"How'd you know he didn't?"
;The soldier walked towards Methedeces.
"He.. he wasn't holding any paper bag but it doesn't mean he stole"
; Methedeces replied.
"Are you, a cover?"
; Asked the soldier.
"Huh?? No.. no, we aren't his covers, but, you see, uhh, why don't we ask the vendors here?"
; Methedeces /filled with hope.
"Ugh. Really?"
;Selene said near Methedeces's ear.
"This is what we could do, atleast.."
; Methedeces /skeptical.
They all asked the seller from the market, asking if there is someone who stole fruits and vegetables.
"Oh, I remember, there was a young man who brought here, but I wasn't able to give him a bag and he insisted to carry it all"
; The old vendor Jesse.
"I see.."
;The soldier replied.
"So there it is, the young man she was talking about.. is the one we were catching up earlier. I think what he just carries were these vegetables"
;Selene pointing.
"Okay, I guess we don't have to waste our time here, thank you for the help you two"
;Soldier.
"Yeah. Shouldn't we having a reward?"
;Selene asked.
"Selene!"
; Methedeces /slightly grabbed Selene's arm.
"Ah. Right, brave and smart kids like you two should be rewarded. You can work at the Euzenki Kingdom and get free meals everyday, not just that, you'll be able to earn heros. A lot of them"

"Hey? what was that for?? are you getting a job, claiming it as a reward?? you should--"
;Selene.
"Now, shut up, you shouldn't act like that in front of them Selene, show them respect and stop blabbering about stupid things like that, you get it?"
; Methedeces.
"What? Are you out of your mind? Haven't you comprehend what that soldier have said? 'you can work at the Euzenki Kingdom' and told us that we could get free meal and earn heros there, if it is a reward, they would just hand it straight to us! why would they offer a work?"
;Asked Selene.
"Argh. Don't you get it?? They are offering a fine life for a living, earn heros and you'll be able to sit in a comfort place, plus, you'll be able to eat for free! haven't you thought about that??"
; Methedeces responded.

"You're darn stubborn"
; Methedeces said.

"I've heard there aren't much reports coming this week about the investigation, what's happening?"
;General Fourth /standing right in front of the window watching workers carry a load of boxes putting into the cart.
"Yes, probably. They paused the investigation due to the lost of the researchers"
; Lt. Col. Viess replied /standing in front of the closed door.

"Do you think they've become one of them?"
;Gen. Fourth.

"I don't think so, why would you think of that?"
;Lt. Col. Viess asked.
"Who knows? It's just a hunch, you just said there were no clues found"
looked aside.
Staring at the Iuzenki Map at the table.
"What if they were that hidden"
;Gen. Fourth answered.
"Let's not rely with some guesses General. It's a very important matter"
; Lt. Col. Viess replied.
"Ah, yes. I'm sorry. Send division A to help the researchers investigate. One of them should be a note taker, but don't let other know who you've chose. Send him here after the investigation"

"Is division A will just be a chaperone for the
researchers? What are your orders?"
;Lt. Col. Viess asked Gen. Fourth.
"Yes. If there's any nitros appeared, ask them to retreat"
; Gen. Fourth replied
looking at the table sitting straight.
"What are the odds? for not fighting back at the encountered nitro?"
; Asked Lt. Col. Viess.
"Just let them retreat. Today we aren't loosing any soldiers nor researchers"
stand.
"I know it isn't important to not think of the other options once they encounter a nitro. But it would also be very dangerous if they fight back being ignorant"
;Gen. Fourth said.
"Ignorant?, the soldiers are well-trained. Also--"
"That's enough Viess. I respect your thoughts. But this is an order"
; Gen. Fourth interrupted.
"Understood"

"Before you all proceed, I would like to give some few announcements"
; Lt. Col. Viess, standing straight in front of the soldiers.
"Protect the researchers. You wouldn't want them to get lost or else we'll be more ignorant inside Iuzenki. Some of them were lost and weren't able to find, so part of your mission is to look after their limits.
You are all a well-trained euzaniars. It is your will to provide help and seek for what's ahead.
Analyze things that is only on our scope. You can do what they ask if necessary.
The important part of your mission is to retreat once encountered a euzanndy. No more questions, proceed"

-CRATTER SPRING
"So what's the plan? would they find out that it's me?"
; Ises asked to his friends.
"I don't know, we'll just wait first before we make an action, we might outwit them, but an over act won't bring any better result"
; Lean replied.
"Lean is right. We should be careful by now, especially you, Graille. Later I'll check the market if everyone is looking for you, also your face might be posted everywhere"
;Axis said to Ises /sitting.
"Th-thanks guys. I haven't done anything for you all since I came"
; Ises responded.
"Dude, you cook for us, it's more than enough even though we all know I cook better, heh"
; Sierinn /smirks.
"Yeah, Shwif cooks better as far as I know, he makes every meal special"
; Maxx /drooling.
"Damn Maxx, I know I cook better but you're drooling, kinda looks disgusting when I prepare meal"
; Sierinn with his sad face.
"Hahahahaha! Don't you see it? Maxx likes your preparations and it looks very tasty on him, you should be proud man! Hahahahahha"
;Axis /laughing.
"Darnnn iittt Maxxx!"
; Sierinn shouted.
As from the conversation, they all laughed at Sierinn having a fan on his prepared meal, which is Maxx, drooling over Sierrinn's cooking skills.
"Hahahahaha okay guys, enough now, we better keep moving, we don't know what's ahead of us"
; Lean ordered.
"And yeah, Ises, you'll be staying right here, there's no hint for us to bring you to the market, it will only cause trouble, got it?"
; Lean /facing Ises.
"Oh right. Count on me"
; Ises replied.
"And, don't make, unnecessary things, understand?"
; Lean added.
"Argh. Lean!! I'm missing my father!!"
; Ises /a cry baby.
"Argh. F*ck"
; Lean /walking towards Maxx, Axis, and Sierrin.
"Dudeeee"
; Axis said to Lean.
They proceeded going to the market looking for any traces that Ises might be involved, mostly to the posters that Ises's face might be drawn.
Eventually.. after looking, they gathered in a small place far from the stalls, in a narrow path between both house walls.
"Clear"
; Axis.
"As well as for me"
; Maxx.
"No traces of him at the stalls"
; Sierinn.
"I guess he's safe"
; Lean said.
"Have-- have you seen that?"
; Maxx asked /looking directly at the end of the narrow walls.
"The what?"
; Axis asked.
"Th-- there"
; Maxx pointed.
"You're creeping us"
; Sierinn said.
"It's, real, should I take a closer look?"
; Maxx asked.
"Dude what the f--"
; Sierinn /as he was pushed outside the open space straight ahead.
"Watch out!!!"
; Lean /pushed Shwif.
"It's a goddamn nitro!!!"
; Shouted Axis.
"Sh*t! what is it now? they keep on appearing nowhere!"
; Lean said as he struggles to get up and run away.
"I bet it's more dangerous"
; Lean added and stands up.
"more likely"
; Sierinn replied.
Maxx jumps off over the stalls to distract the nitro that looks like a bull in a demonic form. Lean runs toward stalls and look for a sharp object that can cut the nitro's throat, while Axis and Sierinn was catching up to the nitro in order to help Maxx in front.
/Axis jumps as the tail of the nitro swung.
/Axis continues to run and hold its tail.
/Sierinn throws a huge wood in its legs (part of a stall stand) in order for the bull to stop running.
/Lean as he runs toward the euzanndy, having a small sharp knife jumps into a stall, holding parts of its open space as he hung and and jumps right back up, continues to run after the nitro.
/Maxx was still running in front, jumping towards the small boxes and obstacles around.
/The people were so scared, that they step aside where is now where to run, but only screams of sorrow and fear what held them.
Lean took his final jump on the tail in order to climb up on the euzanndy, as he uses the small sharp knife to climb and hold up, for him to get into the front of the nitro.
"Sh*t! Lean be careful!!"
;Sierinn screamed by his force running behind.
"I'll distract it here in front, closer Axis! that thing might notice Lean"
; Maxx yelled as he was still running in front trying to get noticed by the nitro.
"Here I go!"
;Axis screamed as he jumps towards front and get to catch up with Maxx and bring down the stall stands in order for the nitro to slow down.
"Watch the horns!!"
;Sierinn yelled while he slides down between the nitro's legs.
"it's very unusual, it's core is only at its throat"
;Lean said in confusion while hanging with only one hand.
/Lean was about to slit its throat when a long slippery organ came out of its core as it startled Lean which made him almost fall to the ground, but luckily, he slid down to its back when it started to raise two legs in front.
/The short sharp knife that was meant for cutting its throat slips off in Lean's hands.
"Argh! Great!"
;Lean shouted in frustration.
/Sierinn handled to catch the knife before falling into the ground while swinging into a rope in Phase 3 house 45 block window, which he managed to jump and took the rope as he was about to save Lean, but turns out that he catched the knife and continues to get a hold on its horns and begun to cut the organ and slit the nitro's throat.
"Man, that was close"
; Sierinn said as he finished cutting its core on throat and began to fall as the nitro is fading into liquid as the cold vapor starts to emit.
"Oh! gross!"
;Lean shouted while lying on the ground in a liquid melted nitro.
"You alright?"
;Sierinn asked. /lending a hand to Lean.
"Yeah, I seem fine, thanks, you did a great job"
"If it wasn't you, we have been failed to take that thing down"
;Lean said sincerely.
"Man, that was nothing, its our job, you don't have to thank me, and besides, we worked as a team right here, correct?"
; Sierinn replied /smiled.
"Yeah.."
;Lean replied to Sierinn. /smiled back.
"You guys good? are you both hurt?"
;Maxx asked /running towards Lean and Sierinn.
"Nah, were fine"
;Sierinn replied to Maxx.
"You should get away there, we don't know what that liquid does"
;Axis, walking behind Maxx /pointing at the liquid that Lean and Sierinn was standing.
"Oh yeah, I haven't noticed, let's not put our feet here, it might be dangerous"
;Lean said /looking down to their feet.
"Cold. How did the nitro entered here?"
;Asked Lean as he shivers because of the vapor.
"We should get out here as soon as possible, we don't have our weapons with us"
;Lean asking for his friends to retreat.
"Are you saying it's a lot more dangerous now?"
;Asked Maxx to Lean.
"Kinda.."
;Lean answered.
"He's right, for now we should get out of here, eventually Euzanians people of the Warrior Iuzen will come here, let them take care of this matter"
;Sierinn /looking at his friends.
