In the quiet garden, silent winds passed freely, grazing the marvelous selves of the two young people sitting on a bench with a blank expressions.

A boy with red eyes, reflecting the glowing blue water from the fountain, his golden blond hair mirroring the blue moonlight of the half moon playing in the sky with his friend stars, and his clear, attractive face, set there with a blank expression as if deeply thinking about something.

Just beside him, a gorgeous-looking girl was sitting, holding his hand and similarly thinking something deeply, just like the boy.

Her marvelous short purple hair reflected the night's darkness instead of light, but still, they looked so attractive that one couldn't help but get drawn towards her.

But... her eyes had a strange blue light in them, and even though this blank state was quite similar to the boy, it was still quite unique.

It was as if the girl was seeing something from a distance with someone else's vision, while the boy was seeing things firsthand, being there at this very moment.

They were in the garden in front of an enormous mansion. The fountain in front of them produced a calming voice. The sounds of the night were even more calming than usual. The fresh air of this area was rejuvenating..

The garden with many flowers, most of them glowing on this wonderful night, also producing a mix of pleasant fragrances.

The bench they were sitting on was finely made for two people to sit comfortably.

The bench was old, but it looked as new as a newly carved piece of wooden art.

The lights of most rooms in the mansion were off, windows closed and curtains covering them.

This... was a quiet and beautiful night. Perfect for love to bloom.

The two of them were sitting on this bench, in this wonderful place, with this special atmosphere. With this blank look on their face and eyes.

And after a while of this blank state, the boy first flinched visibly, his eyes shaking in surprise and shock.

And after a moment of his reaction, the blue light in the girl's gorgeous pink eyes vanished as she, too, shook visibly with surprise and an unbelieving expression.

The boy was smiling with a preposterous expression as if he had seen something more absurd than a normal ghost.

The girl was shocked, but she was more confused and there was no smile on her face at the moment.

Both of them were now in their right state, back to this wonderful place from some strange one.

He looked at her, and she looked at him after a bit and, the confused look on her face surprised him more than he currently was.

His eyes asked her what was wrong, the radiant smile on his face still stuck on his face.

She saw the question in his eyes and wanted to answer but, she couldn't actually find the right words and just open and closed her mouth a few times.

She was calm right now. There was no chaos in her eyes but, the things they had just witnessed were that much absurd to believe.

He squeezed the held hand to further calm the calm self of the girl and asked her to take a deep breath and continue.

And she did just that after a calm nod.

He had seen what things had happened there, and although only he can see the things through the clone's visual after Celes transferred than to him, he had the spell (: Share) so she saw those things too.

And they were definitely no normal things.

"Huu... that, was amazing. It was eastern swordsmanship, right?"

She asked with an excited smile and the boy happily nodded with even more excitement.

"Yes! And I can definitely say it was a lost one! I have only read a bit about it but, it is considered some of the finest in the known history~!

Past legendary swordsman and some of the earlier alliance masters of the adventurer's association from the eastern continent, sword heaven Akimitsu's lost style, and I definitely know it was lacking in many ways but that was real!

Someone who knew the actually lost style of a legendary figure!

Damn~!

And that wasn't just the sword style of one person he used.

I don't know if you saw that but he changed the form of his divine artifact sword and used a different style too.

And that one looked far more refined than his 'light swords'!"

He was truly excited when talking like that, and she was naturally enjoying his every single word and excited expression.

He had started talking, and retelling everything that had happened there and they witnessed, and seeing him talk so happily made her smile warmly at him with a happy gaze.

It was rare to see him excited like this and this atmosphere and situation made it even more special.

Everything they could see with the low efficiency of the clone's eyes was limited but, they could definitely comprehend things that might have happened in the time that they couldn't see anything.

They had seen someone amazing just now. Someone truly strong.

Someone who knew how to use his strength as well as someone who possessed amazing skills in the sword, Aura, and Internal energy.

They knew this person used eastern techniques and his sword style was also something of old times.

This person was special. From his weapons, clothing, artifacts, skills, techniques, energy-using prowess, and at last... the being that was with him.

From what they had seen, it was clear that this person had deep experience with actual combat and unfair situations like this one but, he was amazing with how he dealt with things.

The core reason his attack on this group of black mages was successful was the way he started the whole thing.

The way he entered the place with some kind of powerful invisibility skill or magic, caused chaos, swiftly moved to places, killed those people without any hesitation, to how he fought against that black mage leader.

The start played the main role and that start was most probably only possible because of the cute being with him.

The smile on the boy's face deepened, the excitement intensified, and his genuine excitement made her excited too.

"A real Ocagi~!" he shouted loudly and she followed after his loud voice.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel--Biin.

"To think we will be able to see one~!"

Both of their voices were loud and guards in the shadow were surprised by these sudden loud voices.

They knew the two of them were talking here for a while now and the angle of this bench was something that couldn't be seen from anywhere other than the front.

It was a special place and they knew who was there so they didn't do anything and just stayed in their positions.

But the excitement of the two was natural as they had actually seen a creature that is only talked about in legends of the eastern continent about a legendary creature that few had ever seen with their own eyes.

A creature of great power and something that had the potential to grow strong enough to be on par with small and primary divine beasts.

The highest of purple-ranking creatures, a being that was said to be ferocious, rare, something that rarely got involved with other species, and possessed some of the greatest magical abilities.

Beings that had the greatest stealth, illusion, and camouflage abilities among the known creatures in the world, knew diverse kinds of magic, are 'wise' from birth, had the ability to change their size, and could fly while carrying far more weight than their size...

Creatures that didn't get much close to those aside from their parents, masters, and guardians.

Okay so.. the legendary winged snakes. Creatures that are talked about in almost all towns and villages of the eastern continent and are believed to be residents of the deep forests, gorgeous valleys, and mountaintops.

A creature that is sometimes depicted as a being that must never be hindered even if you are fortunate enough to see it with your own eyes.

Many stores say that this creature just kills all the beings that anger them. And that too happens so quickly that no one that has done such a thing has even been able to understand what had happened to them.

But... the creature they had seen was a cute small snake.

It was cute, his reaction to the person with him was pure, just like a child talking with his mom.

And this one, this cute-looking Ocagi, had a special skill that's considered rarest among any creature of this nature.

An ability that is so rare that its rarity is closer to the existence of high divine beasts.

"[Gluttony]. A skill that can rival a 3rd stage origin skill. A rare ability that only a few strongest could possess. One of the fifteen 'pinnacle' skills. And Something that holds the ability to consume anything as long as they fulfill certain conditions.

The conditions vary from creature to creature but, mostly, they have to kill something in a certain way to be able to consume it if it's something 'alive'.

If it's something that's not 'alive' then they can consume all the energy from it and grow stronger.

This snake had that very very rare ability to convert everything in those beings that he killed into golden particles that were condensed natural energies.

And the small snake with wings looked cute~!

"It was adorable~!" He shouted with another loud voice and she nodded in agreement.

"Nothing like the ferocious beast that I have heard about~. And.." she stopped when feeling the sudden transition and vibration from his hand and blinking at him with surprise.

She looked at his still 'happy looking' expression, sighed deeply, and moved a bit on the left side, at the edge of this bench.

She was still holding his hand so from how she moved to that side, he could guess what she was thinking about.

She patted her lap, asking him what he was thinking with a calm smile, and the boy couldn't help but shake his head at this caring behavior.

She was asking him to put his head on her wonderful lap and... why would he say no to this splendid chance in this near-perfect atmosphere?

The night couldn't get red for them just yet but there was no reason he would mind if it got a little light pink.
