Kael gave five gold coins to the Mysterious man and then left the confession room. He walks to the darkroom then exited and ordered a hot beef soup to warm his stomach on the counter. While sipping the soup, he was listening to the singing bard of melody tavern. He enjoyed the song and it is about a hero that closed the dungeons. Kael didn't know who's the one that he meant but Kael knew that he's one of them. Mysteriously, there were many others like him and they are rumored to be young ones.

Kael drank a cup of water after he finished his soup. He thought of going home because it's late so he paid for his fees.

"That's ten coppers sir", the girl with an apron said to him.

"Here", Kael said as he hands down his fee.

He exited the tavern and then walked with a full stomach. He is calm in his travels as he breathes the fresh air of the street. Unlike the past world he lives in, this world has fresh air that is close to the air conditioner. His hands are in his pocket and he saw little numbers of people in the night. When he arrived at the streets near where he sleeps in, he walks faster and the street is wet due to the rain that has recently poured when he was still at the tavern.

He arrived at the tavern then checked in on the ugly duckling inn.

"Room number six, ma'am", he said to the counter.

Kael walked upstairs and opened his door. He unstraps his shoes and then went to his bed.

While lying down on the bed, he was thinking of what the mysterious person on the tavern. He was waiting for his sleepiness to strike until something crashed on his window.

Bang!

Kael was surprised because of the loud noise. He opened the window and saw a pigeon. It had a letter on its back. Kael opened the letter that was sealed by a container. The container was strapped on the pigeons' body which the bird carried for a long way.

The letter was rolled to fit on the small container. Kael opened it and it says, "Dear Mael, We are okay here on the mansion. Sir Vanz was currently busy with the construction and projects. I am currently relaxing in my room while writing this message. Don't worry, because we're safe. The workers and people are living more comfortably, because of lower taxes. They wanted to pass their message that they are praying for your safety. Be healthy always and don't stay up late. Your loving mother, Erza."

Kael finished reading and he thought of replying. He grabbed a paper and then replied to his mother.

"Dear Mom, I am well and healthy. Don't worry, because I'm taking care of myself. There are trouble makers that mocked me, because I'm a kid so I've taught them a lesson. I've met new adventurers as I went to the capital and they guided me towards the adventurer guild. I've also met a boy of my age and passed together with him. I've visited a blacksmith shop and helped to enchant his products. I will be having my shares. Also the consumable shops, I've also helped concoct the ingredients. While I'm at the tavern, I've also gathered some intel about the appearance of the dungeon. To my surprise, the dungeons are created by beings called Fallens. An Angel that rebelled against the creator. As I walked home I've slept then the pigeon arrived so I've replied. I'm sorry if I'm not there to take care of my sibling but I will go home after a year. That's all and take care. Your loving son, Mael", he finished writing and then put it back to the container.

He brought food and water to the carrier pigeon then he grabbed it to make it fly. It flew until Kael can't see it anymore. With what happened, he felt relaxed to know that Golden Valley was safe.
