Negato is a 29-years old man with green hair. He wears a Bothyzard Robe. He is standing and looking at some t-shirts in the fashion store. Clara approaches him.

"Negato? Is that you?" Clara asked.

Negato turns to Clara.

"Oh, hello, Clara! Long time no see," Negato replied with a smile.

Negato shakes hands with Clara.

"So, did you come here to mock me for only being able to sell clothes?" Clara asked.

"Oh, come on Clara. *chuckles* I didn't come here to mock you. You should forget the past," Negato replied.

"Yeah, but I still can't forgive you."

"Oh, come on .... I just want to buy a t-shirt here."

"If you want a t-shirt, then just buy it. Give the money to the cashier and get out."

"Yeah, but I want to meet you too after a long time. We're friends!"

"How did you know that I was here?"

"Well, you're so popular, Clara. You've been famous since you were in Bothyzard Academy. Now you have a son who is a Bothyner Prodigy, so how could I not know?"

"Is that so? Well .... What do you want from me, then?"

"I want to check your condition after that incident. I mean, look at your scar!"

Negato touches Clara's scar on her left cheek with his right hand.

"Is it hurt?" Negato asked.

"It doesn't hurt. It just won't go away," Clara replied.

"Ooh .... You're still lucky that you were saved by TLBC."

"Yeah, but he didn't really save me."

"By the way, sorry if I'm rude. You still love Finor, right?"

"Yeah, I still love him even though he is already dead. I don't want to get married again, and I'm not interested in you at all."

"*chuckle* It's okay. To be honest, I just want to buy a t-shirt here. I'm glad that you're alright."

"Well, if so, then choose the t-shirt you want. Quick!"

"*chuckle* If you're interested, I can tell you the truth."

"What? What truth?" Clara confused.

Negato puts the index finger and the middle finger of his right hand on his head. Clara hears a voice on her head.

"C'mon, Clara. I'll tell it throught telepathy because it's a secret."

Clara puts the index finger and the middle finger of her right hand on her head. Negato hears a voice on his head.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"You think that Finor died because he was murdered by the Slaboths, right?"

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?"

"I don't think so."

"Huh? Why?"

"I think that Finor died because of the Bothyner Lord's mistake."

Clara is surprised.

"The Bothyner Lord has been silent all this time. He didn't do anything to stop the Illboth invasion once and for all. All he did was try to protect the people during the invasion. Am I right?" Negato spoke in thought.

Clara remains silent. She turns her face to the side with a sad face.

"But you don't have to worry, Clara. I have founded a secret group to solve the problem."

Clara is surprised. She turns to Negato.

"A secret group?" Clara spoke in thought.

"Yes. The group is filled with Bothyzards who refused to obey the Bothyner Lord. Our duty is to kill all the Slaboths who wandered around the Bothyture territory in order to reduce their numbers," Negato spoke in thought.

"You can't do that! It will only make them continue to hate us and invade our territory!"

"I know, but what else can we do? The group members are still small. All of them are just ordinary Bothyzards. They cannot invade enemy territory because they will lose. We need more stronger Bothyzards who can realize the Bothyner Lord's mistake and join my secret group. If that happens, we can have a better future."

"... Well, good luck with that. Don't involve me."

"Clara, you have four bodyguards with you, right? Why not asking them to join?"

Clara turns her face to the side for a few seconds and then turns to Negato.

"They're still loyal to the Bothyner Lord," Clara spoke in thought.

"Hmph .... Fine, then. I have told you my secret, so you shouldn't tell it to Andark or any other Bothyzards. If you tell them, they will report it to the Bothyner Lord and my secret group will be disbanded. If that happens ... I'll destroy this fashion store!" Negato spoke in thought.

Clara is shocked.

"What!? What are you thinking!? If you do that, I'll ask my bodyguards to stop you!"

Negato is grinning.

"I won't use my Bothyner to do it. I'll ask the members of my secret group to collect money and use it to rent a bulldozer. The bulldozer will come to this fashion store and your bodyguards cannot attack it!"

"You're rotten!" Clara felt annoyed.

"Say what you want! But that won't happen if you stay quiet, okay? Now let me choose the t-shirt to buy."

Negato and Clara lift the index finger and the middle finger of their right hand from their head. The two wander around the fashion store. After a while, Negato suddenly stopped. It also made Clara stopped.

"I want that green t-shirt."

Negato points at a green short sleeve t-shirt with large horizontal black stripes.

"It costs 36.000 Ang," Clara said.

A few minutes later, Clara and Negato are at the checkout with a female cashier. Negato gives the money to the female cashier. She put the t-shirt that Negato bought in a white plastic bag. She gives the plastic bag to Negato.

Negato waves at Clara who stands on the female cashier's left side.

"Goodbye, Clara! Convey my regards to Andark!" Negato said with a smile.

Negato walks towards the entrance of the fashion store. Clara stares at Negato with a serious face. The female cashier turns to Clara.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Clara?" the female cashier asked.

"Nothing ..." Clara replied.

On the same day ... in Levytatia Village, around 03.00 p.m. ...

In a street, Clara is driving a red Honda C70 motorcycle. Lyos is riding the motorcycle behind her. Clara wears a red helmet. Lyos wears a blue helmet.

They stop in the front yard of Garuvy's house. There is a Bothasus in that place. After getting off and putting their helmets on the motorcycle, they walk towards the front yard terrace.

Clara knocks the front door. After a while, Cathiw opens it.

"Welcome," Cathiw greeted.

"Oh, thank you, and you must be ..." Clara said.

"I'm Cathiw, the Bothyzard assigned by the village head to watch Lyos."

"Oh, yes. I'm his mother, Clara."

Clara and Cathiw shake hands with each other.

"Garuvy and her parents have been waiting for you," Cathiw said.

"Okay," Clara said.

Garuvy and her parents are sitting on the chairs in the living room. They stand up when their guests appeared.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Clara," Thomas greeted.

"Good afternoon," Clara replied.

"My name is Thomas Alfason."

Clara shakes hands with Thomas.

"Alfason? Are you a descendant of the legendary lamp inventor?" Clara asked.

"Huh? Yes. Most people think like that, but no," Thomas replied.

"Oh, really? *chuckle*" Clara said.

"Well, his job is making lamps and selling them in his own lamp shop." Krona said.

"So, it was real!" Clara said with a smile.

Everyone else besides Clara and Thomas are laughing.

"No, it was not real!" Thomas said with a smile.

Everyone else besides Clara and Thomas are laughing again.

"But you can make lamps!" Clara said.

"Yes, but me and my family aren't the descendants of the legendary lamp inventor!" Thomas said.

"But your name is like that!" Clara said.

"It's just a coincidence! *chuckle*" Thomas said.

"Not just making lamps. He is the first person to discover that our daughter has a unique kind of interaction," Krona said.

"What? Really? *chuckle*" Clara is surprised.

"No, she's just lying! *chuckle*" Thomas said.

"No, it's real! It's called "gravity interaction"," Garuvy said with a smile.

"Wow .... You're really a descendant of the legendary lamp inventor!" Cathiw said.

All of them are laughing.

"Please, stop, everyone! *chuckle*" Thomas said.

"So, your daughter has "gravity interaction"? What is that?" Clara asked.

"We'll explain that later. I'm Krona Ramona."

Krona shakes hands with Clara.

"I have a fashion store too," Krona said.

"Oh, you're the one I've been looking for," Clara said.

"Yes," Krona said.

"So, how is the income in your store?" Clara asked.

"The store is always selling well," Krona replied.

"What!? How come?" Clara asked.

"Well, you have to follow the current fashion trend. If you're smart enough, you can make a trend," Krona replied.

"C'mon, Garuvy! Shake hands with her!" Thomas said.

Garuvy shakes hands with Clara.

"I'm Garuvy Ramona! It's a pleasure to be able to meet Lyos' mom! I hope we can be close forever!"

"Hey, you're too much! *chuckle*" Clara said.

"It's okay. 'forever' is her favorite word. I'm the one who taught her," Thomas said.

"Oh, what you've done! *chuckle*" Clara said.

"I know, but what's done is done! *chuckle*" Thomas said.

Everyone else are laughing.

"C'mon, Lyos! Shake hands with them!" Clara said.

Lyos shakes hands with Thomas and Krona.

"So, you're Lyos, eh? I admit it. You're quite handsome," Krona said.

"Oh, really? I never realized it," Lyos said.

Lyos is scratching his head with his right hand.

"Don't be fooled! She's just complimenting you!" Thomas said.

"No! No! You're handsome! Really! But ... don't be angry at us, okay?" Krona said.

"Oh, of course," Lyos said.

"Don't worry. We're all friendly people," Thomas said.

"Okay, Lyos. If you want to play with Garuvy, now is the time! The adults will stay here to talk," Krona said.

"Yeah! Come on, Lyos! We'll go to the backyard!" Garuvy said.

"Okay!" Lyos said.

"I'm coming with you," Cathiw said.

"Oh, you wanna play with us, Sir?" Lyos said.

"Huh? If you say so ... well ..." Cathiw is confused.

Cathiw turns his face to the side. Lyos grabs Cathiw's left hand with his right hand.

"Come on!" Lyos said.

Lyos is following Garuvy to the backyard while pulling Cathiw's left hand.

"Let's sit down, Mrs. Clara," Thomas said.

After a while, in the backyard, Garuvy is playing with Lyos and Cathiw. All of them are running around the backyard with average speed. Lyos is in the front, Garuvy is behind Lyos and Cathiw is behind Garuvy.

The distance between them is quite close. Cathiw seems smiling.

After a while ...

"Okay, the 20th lap. The last lap!" Lyos said.

Cathiw increases his running speed. He precedes Garuvy and Lyos.

"What?" Garuvy said.

"Huh?" Lyos said.

Cathiw's distance between him and Lyos is far. Lyos increases his running speed to chase Cathiw.

"Hey, you guys are running too fast!" Garuvy felt annoyed.

After a while, they stopped running and gathered in front of the backyard terrace. Garuvy and Lyos bowed down.

"I won!" Cathiw said.

"*pant* *pant* I said before that we're just jogging, Sir!" Lyos felt annoyed.

"I know, but I don't want to lose," Cathiw replied.

"*pant* *pant* Control yourself, Lyos ..." Garuvy said.

"I know ..." Lyos said.

"Don't worry. He's just a bit angry," Cathiw said.

"Fine .... If you want a race. Let's do it now," Lyos said.

"I'm glad to hear it," Cathiw said.

"Count me in too!" Garuvy said.

Garuvy, Lyos and Cathiw line up in tront of the backyard terrace. Garuvy is in the middle, Lyos is on her right side and Cathiw is on her left side.

"On your marks ..." Cathiw said.

All ot them are in a crouching position.

"Set ..." Cathiw said.

All of them are in a set position.

"Go!" Cathiw said.

They start running and keep running towards the concrete wall at the end of the backyard. Cathiw is the first one who touched the concrete wall with his right hand. Lyos is the second one, and Garuvy is the last one.

"I lost again!" Garuvy said.

"You're too fast, Sir ..." Lyos said.

"Because I'm the fastest," Cathiw said.

"Did you ever win a running competition?" Lyos asked.

"Never," Cathiw replied.

"Then don't get too cocky, Sir! Let's try again!" Garuvy said.

"Yeah!" Lyos said.

In the second sprint race, Lyos is the first one to touch the concrete wall. Garuvy is the second one, and Cathiw is the last one.

"Now I'm faster than you, Sir," Garuvy said with a smile.

"Well, okay ..." Cathiw said.

"You didn't slow down, did you?" Lyos asked.

"No, I was serious before," Cathiw replied.

"Let's try again!" Garuvy said with a smile.

In the third sprint race, Garuvy is the first one to touch the concrete wall. Lyos is the second one, and Cathiw is the last one.

"I'm ... *pant* *pant* the champion ...!" Garuvy said.

"*pant* *pant* You did slow down, Sir ..." Lyos said.

"No, I didn't .... *pant* *pant*" Cathiw said.

"I want to rest .... *pant* *pant*" Garuvy said.

"Yes .... *pant* Let's rest .... *pant*" Cathiw said.

Meanwhile, there are 3 Slaboths seen in the sky above a forest. Each of them is riding on a flying Bothasus.

One of them is holding a sword with his right hand. The other Slaboth is holding an axe. The last Slaboth is holding a spear.

"Hey, did you know?" the Spear Slaboth said.

"What?" the Sword Slaboth asked.

"They said that we will do another robbery mission in Bothyzard Region!" the Spear Slaboth replied.

"Oh, yes!" the Sword Slaboth said.

"Finally!" the Axe Slaboth said.

The Bothasuses carrying them continued to move somewhere.

To be continued.
