Vera leaned close to Analise''s ear. "However, my older brother Alvaro said that there''s been a lot going on with the Ethereal Fang Alliancetely, which is why that therian hasn''te here yet. I suddenly recalled this piece of information when looking through the trending topics on Cosmoseek just now."


    Analise massaged her temples. "It''s good that he''s busy. He should just note at all."


    "Why would you think that, Ana?" eximed Vera. "You have no idea how many people wish these SSS-grade male therians would be their guardians. You''re the only one who can make them surrender willingly to you."


    Analise uttered in confusion, "Huh?"


    Then, she shook her head, recalling Gideon''s whiny and pitiful appearance just now. "We''ll see. These few around me are already giving me enough of a headache."


    Anyone who saw how Gideon looked with his eyes lowered dejectedly just now would have felt their hearts melt.


    Vera hummed dismissively and did not pursue the topic any further. She was still worried about Hector''s situation. "I still need to go back and see Hector, so I''ll take my leave first."


    Analise nodded. "Okay."


    Seeing as Vera was about to leave, Scott suddenly called out to her. "Ms. Khielson."


    Vera immediately had a bad feeling about the situation.


    As she expected, Scott''s next words were about Hector. "Please pass on a message to your younger brother Hector for me, Ms. Khielson. Tell him to drop by the Hopkins Gxy Lodge at 10:00 am tomorrow."


    Vera turned to cast Analise a pleading look before looking at Scott. "Okay. I''ll head back and let him know."


    After Vera left, Analise, Fiy, and Scott went to Hopkins Gxy Lodge.


    Scott gave Analise the bow he had gotten custom-made beforehand. "See if it suits you, Ana."


    When Fiy saw the bow, he thought of the bow that Analise had pulled out of thin air. "Don''t you have a bow, Ana? Where is it?"


    Scott looked at the therians who were training nearby before saying in a low voice, "Fiy. Do you still remember what I told you before? In the future, don''t ask about anything concerning Ana when there are outsiders around.


    "Also, no matter what she brings out, we shouldn''t ask too many questions. All we need to do is trust her unconditionally."


    When Scott had a heart-to-heart talk with Analise before, he had confirmed the fact that she was an interster outsider.


    Since that was the case, it was very normal for her to have abilities that differed from ordinary people.


    However, they could not let other people discover these abilities.


    As he thought this, he felt that it would be necessary to have a proper talk with


    Fiy about Analise''s situation after they got home tonight.


    He mainly wanted to get Fiy to watch his words and protect her well.


    When Fiy saw the serious expression on Scott''s face, he knew that this was no trivial matter, so he readily agreed. "Okay. Sure."


    Seeing how obedient Fiy was, Analise reached out to pinch his cheeks "That''s my little secret, so don''t ask too many questions. You also can''t let anyone else know


    about it, okay?"


    He rubbed his cheek against her palm. "Okay, then."


    She had also mentioned that they could talk about it after going home before, but they hadter forgotten about it.


    Fiy had also only remembered that exchange upon seeing Analise holding a bow.


    As Analise drew the bowstring, she suddenly recalled that Scott had mentioned his mother''s death anniversary before.


    It just so happened that they had all still been flying through space that day. Since she and Scott had formed a contract today, they should probably visit.


    "Set your official duties aside for today, Scott. Let''s drive over to meet your


    parents and Fiy''s," she said, looking at both of them.


    Scott was about to leave. His fingers on the doorknob shook upon registering her words. Fiy, who was standing beside her, trembled lightly as well.


    "Ana..."


    They both spoke at the same time, but they did not quite know what to say.


    She took Fiy''s hand and


    continued, "Since we''ve formed a


    contract, we should notify them


    about it remember you mentioning


    that your father is still alive and well,


    Fiy. Let''s go see him after visiting the graves of your mother and Scott''s parents, alright?"


    She craned her head to look at Scott.


    After a momentary silence, he nodded. "Okay."
