Garlis came to find Azil the next day but noticed the blue sea tree bloomed. The leaves turned a glowing red and the flowers were a deep blue. It was as pretty the day he remembered how this tree would bloom.

Garlis: Azil !

Azil came out " hey. It worked. Pretty right ?"

" it is... It bloomed..." Then he looked to her and pushed her to the tree trunk hard " who are you ?"

Azil ; I'm Azil. Azelin's sister.

Garlis : are you really?

Azil ; you checked me out with Azelin didn't you ?

He lets her go " it's time for dinner."
________________________________

Inna : Azil. I have a task for you.

Azil ; yes ?

Inna : it's getting cold . Go into the forest on Alpane mountain. Hunt for the white bear fur coat.

Azil ; haha. That's dangerous.  I'll ask Azelin to go with me.

Inna ; I think he's out with izuya tomorrow. A tea date.

Azil sweatdrops " two men and tea... "

Rem came in " white bear fur ?! I want one too ! Get one for me too !! I hear they are real pretty. Soft and warm. Shine and sparkles really pretty in the sunlight. "

Azil ; how about you come with me ?

Rem ; I'm just a kid !!

Inna ; you can do it. I believe in you. You're Azelin's sister. He's so strong. You won't be that far off.

Azil ; haha. Ok...
________________________________

Garlis ; Mistress. Here's your usual coffee. Where's Azil ? Have you seen her ?

Inna : you're looking for her ?

Garlis ; she often stays in the garden and goes nowhere else. It's tea break time. There were some cookies I left for her.

Inna : oh. She went on a hunt for white bear fur. Probably be back... Tomorrow ?

Garlis : ... She's a gardener. Not a servant or a guard. This task is too difficult for her.

Inna : defending her ? She's just a gardener. A staff of this house. I can ask her to do anything.

Rem : it's that dangerous?

Garlis : never mind. Enjoy.

Garlis reached Azelin's place . He tries to catch his breath " Mr Azelin... Izuya. "

Azelin : woah. Calm down.

Garlis : help... Help Azil. She went into the mountains to hunt for white bear fur

Azelin stood up " that's dangerous as hell !! Who the hell sent her there ?!!"

Garlis looked to Izuya " .... Mistress."

Azelin stared hard to Izuya " if she dies. You'll regret so hard. "

________________________________

So the two of them enters the mountains.

Izuya : she's your sister. She will be somehow ok right ?

Azelin ; she's not a battle type you idiot !! She just makes all those flowers and plants.

They walk further into the mountains and start to see a trail of corpses. Izuya squat down to examine it " seems to be doing fine."

Azelin ; she used poison. The white bear is tough. I don't think poison will take it down easily. Also, what if she runs out ?

Izuya picks up the broken glass on the grass . He takes a smell "... This poison... " He stands up and starts running and heading further into the forest.

Azelin: idiot.

Izuya : wait for me. I'm coming.

I know this poison. No one else makes this. It's special. Only... She would make it...

Please... Wait for me. I'm coming...

He reaches to a clearing and sees her lying in the middle. She was unconscious. He shook her " hey. Azil. Azil. " She wouldn't respond.

He carries her up in his arms " I'll bring her back to mine first. Could you call hebinon ?"

Azelin; fine. Hurry up.

________________________________

Hebinon comes out of the room after taking a look " do you know who she is ?"

Izuya: I think I do.

Hebinon : I've taken it off. As for her...

Izuya : is she ok ?

Hebinon sighs " I've always thought about how little of a core is required for a god to live. The vessel isn't exactly hers. Human vessel stuck with a 1/5 god core. Can't say it's too bad or its really good."

Izuya ; when will she wake up ?

Hebinon ; she got bit by a snake. That funny girl. Defeated two bears but got bit by a snake unguarded.  She's weak, so takes more time than usual. Just wait.

Izuya : ok. Ok. Thank you.

Hebinon ; I'll tell Anna about this.

Izuya ; okay. Thank you.

Hebinon leaves.

Izuya : Azelin.

Azelin ; hm ?

Izuya ; you've known all this time ?

Azelin ; I'm the first being she came to find after she got a vessel from Geppetto.

Izuya : she... Didn't want to see me... ?

Azelin: you are married.

Izuya clenches his fist then heads towards the room. That's when Inna called out to him. He turned his head to look at her " Inna."

Inna ; .... Is she ok ?

Izuya : she's unconscious. Why did you send her ?

Inna : I'm not going to lie . You like her more because she's a lot like nanalise. Your ex wife. Isn't it ?

Izuya ; no.

Inna : don't lie !!!

Izuya ; she does remind me a lot about nanalise. But...

" but what ?!! I just wasn't too much of a replacement. That's what this is right ?" Her tears start to fall.

Izuya : you made me forget about nanalise at times. So... I wouldn't call you a replacement...

Inna : but you're going to want a replacement anyway ?!!!

He walks over and grabs her wrist. She struggles out of it. He grabs her again and pulls her into the room " look. "

" Look what ?!!" She yelled.

He pulled her forward to her beside " look. I've showed you her face before. "

Her legs collapsed " no... This is just a vessel... She couldn't be ... Nanalise... This is just a body !!! Just a face !! Izuya !! "

Izuya; no... She's nanalise. I'm sure.

Inna ; how could you be ?!!

Garlis came in " she made the blue sea tree bloom with her blood. That's irrefutable evidence. "

Inna : what... But that's just a tree !! Nanalise is a trade god . What would she knows about flowed and plants ! She's a gardener.

Izuya ; nanalise wasn't just a trade god. She was an apothecary. All the flowers and plants she grew was for her potions. So when you sent her into the mountains, she made her special poison. One only she would make. Her recipe .

Garlis ; that's Miss for you. Even when hiding an identity, she doesn't forget to make something special.

Inna : so ... You don't want me... Anymore...

Izuya; I won't lie to you either. I'm not sure I would be able to keep my eyes on you. Nanalise... Is also very possessive. Are you sure ? You want to stay...
