Flame is very curious about what's inside of this book, but at the same time, he wanted to return this book or leave it out in case she comes back and gets it. After starting this book, there's a slight red cover with just only title "Where Did The Phoenix Go?".
Suddenly at Flame's rearview, there's a massive crowd. Seems like a popular person just came into the city. He can see through the crowds although it is hard to see. A blue pastel-haired woman and a blue dress that even looked like a princess. She carries her umbrella, which probably protects her from the sun.
And next to her, a pink-haired mature woman, with a white dress, brown leggings, and a tall boot with black ball fur on top of the boot. She also a slight fur cape sleeved so nobody can see her behind.
As you can call them a supermodel and is attracting a lot of male audiences. All of them are eyeing these two girls.
The first man said, "Wow! Look at those beauties!"
The second said "I know right? Bet they're good!"
The third man in the back whispers, "Are these two came from Mage academy, can't believe they're so beautiful."
"Ohohoho, this is why I want to send my son to Mage academy. But he won't listen. He won't get a girlfriend if he sticks with knights academy."
"Please step on me!" the last guy yelled.
"Shannon, Let's get out of here, these simple creatures have no moral." Blue hair girl, feeling disgusted by those perverts.
"Come on Liana, we gotta prepare for the mission tomorrow." She giggles. "You'll get used to it."
"No way, these men deserve death," Liana sparks. "They're just a simple creature that knows no limits." Liana flips her hair as she playing with her umbrella.
Then they walk towards Flame, or rather they walk toward the jewelry shop that's right next to Flame. But for some reason, Liana felt irritated since Flame is so close to Liana and Shannon.
"Move you, lowly man." Commands Liana. Flame didn't respond. She got angry since she was ignored by him. Then she points toward Flame, which got his attention. "Move I said." She said as it shows a dominating aura.
Flame starts his bloodlust, readying to strike her down by drawing his dagger. Tremendous tension between them that the crowd stepped back as if death awaits them. Immediately Shannon claps her hand,
"Isn't this a rare necklace? Oh, my goodness! Let go Liana!" She grabs Liana's arm as she pulls her into the jewelry store.
"What I'm about to teach him a lesson!?" Liana feels dissatisfied.
Flame sheathes his weapon and shakes his head. 'People in this city are weird.' He thought.
Suddenly Kashi came out of the shop as he notices a crowd and people staring at us. "What's going on?" He tilted his head. "Anyway…" Kashi handed him a note, although he is still learning the basics of sign language." My business here is done. We can let Dale know that we're finished. But first, let take a rest at the inn." Flame has his thumb up as he got onto Chip like he's expecting to rest and avoid weird people in the city.

Upon reaching the Inn. Flame still can't stop thinking about the book that lady has dropped. He has the hope to see her again, but the city is wide filled with thousands of people. There's no way that she has gone into the castle since she doesn't look royalty.
Despite it is a city, there's a bare parking spot around since people relied on walking or riding carriage/Wagon, However, there might be a suitable spot in the alley that no one to come by. As we unpack our stuff, Kashi pulls the green round crystal out of the power source. It's weird since people can steal their stuff, so Flame asks him about it.
He replied, "Don't worry, nobody knows how to run it, besides it's a key that only fits in Chip."
As we got ourselves our room with two beds. Kashi got excited to learn more sign language as we learned more basics. Still, what's shocking that he's learning fast and able to catch up with most of the stuff. But he keeps insisting that Sign language is the same as spoken language so it is a lot easier to memorize. Although it wasn't a bad sign, Flame only to get distracted by a book.
While Kashi was occupying himself, Flame put his book on the desk as he reads:
Long ago, when the world at peace, there are so many phoenixes that exist in this world. They have so much freedom that they flew around the world sky. The Phoenix loves to send creatures hope and grace. They can even revive the dead.
But one day, a tragedy occurs, an unknown gigantic beast that power even rivals as God appears in this world, giving destruction and pure malevolence globally. Even a grand Phoenix cannot stop the beast as it kills all life into this world. There is no hope.
The beast then disappears without a trace, leaving no souls in this world.
Kashi suddenly interrupts as he looks at the book, then he signs, "Cool book. Where did you get that?"
Flame shrugs "Found it on the floor." Kashi couldn't catch it since he went too fast, but he nods anyway. "Uhh, yes!"
Kashi grabs his stuff in his backpack but he suddenly pulls an envelope out of the backpack. "Huh, what's this?" He reads it as it said 'From Dale.' Kashi just realized, "Crap! I forgot to turn this to blacksmith." But then He reads "To Kashi." He was bewildered. 'Why would he send this when he can just talk to me when I come back?' He thought in his head.
He opened the envelope. When he reads, a tear rolled from his eye. As he clenches his fist and the paper crumbles, "Damn it, old man! Why would he do that!"
