("We escaped from that terrible ruins and work in the village to get the money to continue our journey")
    Doros was running, he seems panic but then he found Izark. He asked Izark to help a cow that has fallen into a gap and hurt it’s legs. There two other men near the cow. They said that the cow is about 400 Juron (400kg) and needs more than four people to lift it, but Izark amazed them by lifting the cow alone.
    ("Izark"), Izark heard Noriko calling him.
    He fled at once, leaving Doros and the other men who were still amazed.
    "Where is he? I’m certain that he works here", Noriko had come to bring lunch for Izark.
    Izark came and told Noriko about the cow, and then he kissed her, "Wait here, I’ll be back as soon as I’m sure the cow is okay". Izark went again, leaving Noriko alone, blushing.
    (" Izark is usually cool but sometimes he suddenly does such things.")
   
Noriko heard a noise at the back and she turned just to see two villagers who hided themselves at once behind the bush. 
    ("What are the villagers talking about us?
")
    Somewhere in the village, the villagers were talking about Noriko and Izark, they thought Noriko is a princess and Izark is her loyal knight.

    Meanwhile at another place, Barago suddenly remembered about Izark and Noriko and he told Garya that he misses them.
    "Me too", said Garya.

Back to Izark and Noriko, they were talking with Irku but only Noriko can see Irku, Izark can’t see Irku anymore. Irku told them that his powers has almost reached the limit. At the other day, Noriko found out that Doros’ chimo has babies so they went to find a basket for the babies. While searching for the basket in Hanna’s shop, Irku appeared.
    "Kyaa, what is this boy? He is flying and transparent",Hanna was surprised
    "Huh? Hanna can see Irku?", Noriko was also surprised.
    "Noriko, danger!! There are three men entering this village with evil seed inside them", said Irku.
    Izark and Roki who can’t see Irku are still confused so Hanna and Noriko told them. "Maybe they chased us", said Hanna and Noriko in unison.
    "Huh?"
    "We will involve these people"
    "Huh?"
    Hanna and Noriko still said the words in unison while Hanna’s mother said that Noriko was a princess. Izark and Roki were still confused but there’s no time left so they took out the weapons, Roki was with the sword while Izark took the hoe. They asked the women to stay inside the shop while they welcomed the "guests". 

After talking a minute with the "guests", it seems that they are Roki’s "guest".
    "I’ll help you if you pay me with today’s fare", said Izark to Roki
    "Your face doesn’t suit with your stinginess. You are the best knight, aren’t you? Help me then."
    "Who is stingy? I’m not a knight , I’m just a wandering warrior who needs the money to live"
    Their "guests" began to attack so Roki said, "I’ll give you half of the fare". 
    "Alright", said Izark and attacked them, he used the wind to defeat them.
    One of the "guest" said "We are defeated? Aren’t we the Haidori clan?", the other person suddenly rised and got more power but he can’t stop it. He began to turn into a monster and penetrated the barrier that Irku made.
    ("Izark!! Maybe the way to make him normal again is the same as Izark") Noriko told Izark with telepathy. 
    Suddenly Izark was reminded about what Garya had told him and he said, "Feel the force of origin!! If you are a Haidori clan , you will know the meaning". After hearing the words, the man suddenly became normal.
    "Hey, you are a Haidori too?", asked Roki
    "I’m not a Haidori, I don’t know what is the force of origin, I only said it", Izark’s answer made Roki slipped and almost fell from the stair.
    ("Izark and Roki are like a pair of comedians")

From the three guests, Izark and Noriko found out that Hanna is Jeida’s daughter which make Hanna’s mother Jeida’s wife. Meanwhile Roki is the leader of the guards. Hanna is also surprised that Izark and Noriko know her father.

After those three men went away, they gathered at the shop. Irku said that the barrier has been fixed and reduced just around them. But at the time the barrier was penetrated, Goriya can feel the Tenjoki and told Rachef.

After exchanging information and revealing their true name, Grosia (Hanna’s real name) wanted to meet her father so she asked Izark and Noriko to help her. Izark said that they will discuss it with Barago so they went out. But before they go, Aref (Roki’s real name) asked they why they were also being chased.
    "As Niana (Grosia’s mother) said, I’m the knight and she is the princess who ran away" said Izark and went out. After walking far from the shop, Noriko asked Izark why he said that.
    "So you want to tell them that we are the Tenjoki and Mezame?"
    "Of course not, but you can find another reasons. Besides, as a knight, you have to kneel in front of the princess, take her hand while saying ‘I pledge my loyalty to you’ and then kissed her hand", said Noriko. Then she realized that what she just said is the attitude in her world, her face became red.

    "Maybe I’ve watched too many movies"
    "Like this?" , Izark took Noriko’s hand and knelt down.
    "I pledged my loyalty to you, Noriko", then he kissed Noriko’s hand.
    "Don’t take it seriously, Izark, it’s just an example", said Noriko with a red face.
    "For me , Noriko is a princess", said Izark which made Noriko’s face become redder. Izark smiled secretly, Noriko became curious and found out that Izark is teasing her again.
    "Izark, you are teasing me again", said Noriko.
    Izark laughed.
    "I’m trapped again", said Noriko.
    "I tell the truth"
    "But you are laughing"
    "I laugh but I tell the truth", Izark smiled.

Then they continue their walks to meet Doros, but Doros is not at home so they decided to wait for him. While waiting, Noriko told about her family. Suddenly Izark felt Noriko disappearing and moved to where Noriko was at once. Noriko was surprised when Izark was so close. It seems she didn’t feel she was disappearing. At that time, Doros came to talk to them.

Meanwhile at the ruins, Rachef and Goriya took Keimos to the bottom of the ruins where there are many moon crystals. Tazashina was so angry that Rachef didn’t take her and start throwing all the items in her room.

When Rachef had a meeting in Rienka, Elgo came and asked about Tazashina. It seems Tazashina had asked Rachef to give her some men to capture both Tenjoki and Mezame. Rachef didn’t mind as long as Tazashina didn’t act like his mother who always complained and wished that Rachef never existed. Rachef thought his mother as an obstacle and killed her.

At the other place, Noriko and the others began their journey, they planned to sell all their cargo at the next city. But when they arrived at the city, Grosia’s mother was lost so Noriko and Grosia went to find her. Izark then also went to help them and meet them who were being chased by some guards. The guards thought that they are anti government persons. One of the guards caught Noriko, Izark got mad and pushed the man away. Then another guard came, he is their second leader. He stopped the guards and apologized to Izark and the others. From the citizens, they were told that those guards just wanted to tease them.

Izark asked Noriko and Grosia to join Aref and Barago while he will search for Grosia’s mother. Aref and the others went to get permission to open the shop. A man tried to follow Izark but he lost Izark since Izark jumped to the roof. He jumped from one roof to another and found Grosia’s mother. She was talking to an old man. After saying thank you to the old man, both of them went to join the others.
