| *''Inside a quiet room, a man sat at a messy desk filled with books and piles of paper scattered about and kept stamping his feet impatiently. It was way past midnight but the news he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet. Man grabbed his head tightly as he picked up a paper that was in front of him and started read its contents rapidly. He already had its contents completely memorized because he read it over dozens of times but he had to do something to hide his restlessness.''
| | Inside the burning library, Add and the librarian gathered the relevant materials and began to talk about the Debrians. Add wondered what the man thought of them, and the librarian tried to look at their and the kingdoms' situation back then without taking sides, choosing to understand their mistakes. |
| *'''Butler''': ''Sir Asker, the letter has arrived.''
| |
| *''Butler's voice was heard from outside the door. A sound of baby's cry was also heard at the same moment.''
| |
| *'''Maid''': ''Sir Asker, Mistress just finished giving birth safely!''
| |
| *''The maid with her face completely covered in sweat seemed to have ran here hastily because she barely managed to finish her words then tried to catch her breath for a long time. Asker didn't even give gaze to the maid and grabbed the letter the butler was holding instead. He violently ripped the envelope open.''
| |
| *'''Maid''': ''Sir Asker…. Mistress is very worn out….. you should go to her…''
| |
| *''Maid asked Asker carefully but Asker's attention was solely focused on the contents of the letter. Asker stood for a long time reading the letter then frowned as he tore the letter into shreds and sprayed them all over the ground.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Burn them all up.''
| |
| *''Asker entered his room while closing the door strongly then staggered as he went to sit on the chair.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''(Nasod Ruler….. they found us in the end.)''
| |
| *''Nasod Ruler was name of an anti-Nasod organization that specialized in destroying Nasods. They used knowledge about Nasods of the past Nasod War as a basis to research most effective ways to destroy Nasods. They had proven themselves to be tremendously successful. It was said that almost all of them disappeared after the war, but their knowledge was stored somewhere and was being preserved. Some survivors rebuilt the organization and were now destroying Nasods that still existed or raided people that researched Nasods and destroyed their research data. On the opposite side, Grenore family that Asker was from had been researching for a way to make Nasods that were close to humans as possible. It was a research that was considered forbidden so everything was carried out in secret. This was why Asker built their mansion deep inside a forest located at North West of Velder with low traffic and rough terrain. Servants Asker hired were people that didn't have hometowns and families. People were sent to dispose of the servants immediately if they showed even a slightest suspicious behavior.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''(I'll have to think of a countermeasure now that Nasod Ruler found about our family's works. I'll first have to dispose of the servants.)''
| |
| *''Asker who was tiredly rubbing the middle of his forehead took off his glasses to put it down on the table then leaned his body back. Baby's cry that was ringing across the entire mansion had already stopped.''

| |
| *''Young boy walked slowly with limp shoulders and weakly opened the door to his room. The lessons with his father ended again today when the sun had completely set.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''(You got it wrong again, Edward. Just who do you take after to be so stupid…..? You'll get one smack on the hand from now on each time you get something wrong.)''
| |
| *''His father was always strict but became even stricter during lessons. He absolutely didn't accept mistakes. Edward blew wind onto his red swollen hands as he dropped down to sit on his bed.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(If I don't review what I learned today….. I'll get scolded again tomorrow…..)''
| |
| *''Learning about Nasod related knowledge and skills was fun. But ten minutes felt like one hour whenever he was in front of his father. In his father's lessons, even stories about Nasods that used to be fun felt tiresome.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(… I'm so tired. Maybe I should sleep for a bit….)''
| |
| *''Edward lied down on the bed as he recalled the details of what he learned today in his head. Ancient Nasod language, mechanical engineering, Nasod engineering…. Yesterday was physics and chemistry and tomorrow was supposed to be on hand Nasod assembly using Nasod parts.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(Just for…. one hour….)''
| |
| *''Sleep flowed in when he closed his eyes. Edward was worn out from the rigorous study schedule that continued each day.''

| |Description= As Asker watched on, with his trembling hands, Edward began to assemble the Nasod.
| |
| |QuestCD=
| |
| *''Edward picked up the Nasods parts with trembling hands and started to assemble them one at a time. Asker sat behind Edward and observed quietly.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(Not being able to check over the output calculation again bothers me…. But there's no time.)''
| |
| *''Edward who was quickly picking up parts and completing his Nasod assembly finally held up the last Nasod engine part.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(If I connect this here….)''
| |
| *''Voice saying 'stop' was heard from behind Edward soon as the engine part was installed.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Time is up.''
| |
| *''Asker got up from his seat and approached the place where the small Nasod Edward finished was. Edward gulped as he backed out.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''I'll try activating it.''
| |
| *''Asker activated Edward's Nasod immediately after he spoke. But not before long, a smoke started rising from the Nasod's body and a small sound of an explosion was heard.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''….!''
| |
| *''Asker started to tear apart the overheated Nasod's body with his bare hands. Edward saw his father's hands quickly becoming red and hastily picked up the appropriate disassembly tools and handed them to his father.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Damn it, Edward!!!!''
| |
| *''Engine that was planted inside had already been burnt and turned into a dark black mess. Asker screamed as he slapped across Edward's cheek.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Do you know how hard it was to get this part….?! And you break it?!''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''I… I'm sorry, father….''
| |
| *''Asker menacingly stared down at Edward who had fallen on the ground then picked up a crumpled paper that was on the table. It was an output calculation that Edward had hastily written down.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''You imbecile!!! You got it wrong!!!''
| |
| *''Asker threw the paper toward Edward then left the laboratory. When his father was gone, Edward who was left alone picked up the paper and started to quickly read through it.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(I made a mistake…in this part….)''
| |
| *''It was a very simple mistake but the result was tragic. Edward stood up while rubbing his cheek.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(I heard that Nasods are completely extinct in this age…. so it's hard to find their parts. Father becoming angry is understandable.)''
| |
| *''Edward who was looking down at the Nasod that was in shambles exited the laboratory with weak footsteps while quietly wiping his eyes.''

| |Description= After finishing up with his father, Edward headed towards his mother's research lab.
| |
| |QuestCD= | |
| *'''Grace''': ''Edward….? What happened to your face…?''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''…. There was a small accident. I'm fine.''
| |
| *''Grace stared vacantly at her son forcing a smile as he came to hug her. She then slowly petted her son's head.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''…. Edward, are you really okay?''
| |
| *''Edward who had his head buried deep into Grace's clothes twitched his mouth for a bit but shook his head in the end. It's not fine…. I'm having a really hard time…. these words surged almost up to Edward's throat but he couldn't say them because he was afraid of his father.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''I smell something nice. Is it a different flower this time?''
| |
| *''Grace smiled beamingly as she grabbed Edward's hand and headed to a greenhouse inside the laboratory. The greenhouse was filled with small white flowers.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''Come here Edward.''
| |
| *''Grace went to the middle of the garden and sat down. Edward also followed his mother and carefully entered the greenhouse.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''It's an ancient flower that had gone extinct very long ago. When the wind blows, it's petals fall off and fly about like snowflake but when the wind stops, it's petals grow back very quickly. The ancestors called this flower a windflower.''
| |
| *''The Nasods inside the greenhouse quickly started leave when Grace signaled them. Edward's eyes shined in wonderment as he went beside Grace and sat down. Edward lay his head on Grace's lap and quietly closed his eyes. Grace wordlessly stroked Edward's hair and cheek. Edward thought that he wouldn't have been able to keep up with his father's strict schedule if he didn't have his mother who always embraced him warmly. His mother's laboratory had a warm feeling for some reason. His mother was a Nasod engineer just like his father but she was more interested in regenerative energy and environments so her garden was always filled with flowers and green plants.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''Your father is very strict, am I right Edward?''
| |
| *''Grace continued speaking with a gentle voice.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''Please understand, he became very sensitive because some bad things happened. How are the lessons?''
| |
| *''Edward kept his mouth shut and didn't answer. Grace made an expression as if she understood Edward's feelings then opened her mouth.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''It must have been very hard for you…. I'm sorry that I couldn't help…..''
| |
| *''Edward shook his head as he closed his eyes again.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''Your father isn't treating you so harshly because he hates you. Do you know how happy he was the day when you were born? It was the first time I've seen your father so happy. There are no parents that hates their children, Edward. Your father and me, we both love you very much.''
| |
| *''Edward quietly grabbed Grace's hand. Edward fell asleep thinking that it would be nice if every moment was like this.''

| |Description= Asker returned after a several month's trip.
| |
| |QuestCD=
| |
| *''Asker pushed all the dusty books that were on top the desk off to the side. He then dug inside his bag to pull out more books and placed them on top of the desk.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''(It was quite profitable this time. I might finally be able to find a clue this time.)''
| |
| *''He pulled up his ragged sleeves that were worn out from many months of travel and started to quickly write down formulas with his pen.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''(Kuhaha, yes…. With this formula…. No, this isn't it. This method will consume too much energy.)''
| |
| *''Asker annoyingly crumpled up a piece of paper then threw it away. He flipped through his new books as he started to write down a different formula than before. Sound of someone knocking on the laboratory door was heard but it didn't seem like Asker had heard it.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''I'm coming in, father….''
| |
| *''Sound of a door opening was heard and Edward entered. The boy had grown a bit taller during the time Asker was away for many months.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''…. Father, mother was worried a lot.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''…..''
| |
| *''Asker didn't answer.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''….. Nasod assembly assignment you gave me last time… I finished it perfectly, father. I even modified it a bit, will you have a look at it….?''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''…. This isn't it. It won't be any different than the formula from before…''
| |
| *''Asker murmured as he crumpled up another piece of paper and threw it on the ground. Edward took out a small Nasod that he completed assembling and handed it to his father. But Asker only gave it a slight glance and didn't say anything else in particular.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''How is it, father?''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''…. Edward.''
| |
| *''Asker who was writing busily raised his upper body as he called Edward's name.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Stop being so noisy and get out.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''What…?''
| |
| *''Edward got startled and asked back. Asker clicked his tongue as if he was annoyed then grabbed the Nasod Edward handed to him and threw it half-heartedly towards corner of the laboratory.''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''I said I'll take a look at it later so stop distracting me and get out.''
| |
| *''Edward looked up blankly at Asker who had turned his gaze around to focus on his research. Edward answered weakly then made his way to exit the laboratory.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(What kind of research is he doing this time…?)''
| |
| *''When a certain time period came, Asker tended to pack up and leave the house and didn't return for many months. Then when he came back, he stayed holed up in his laboratory and focused on his research for many days.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(Mother will be very sad.)''
| |
| *''Edward was glad that lessons with his father had became looser, but his mind became uneasy whenever he thought about his mother who would be saddened and worried.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(I should tell this to mother as well…)''
| |
| *''Edward headed to Grace's laboratory while struggling to think about how to comfort his mother.''

| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Stay still.''

| *''Edward sat on a chair and waited for the result of something Asker injected into him with a syringe.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(Will something even change? I don't feel any different…..) Achoo!''
| |
| *''Edward sneezed. Asker sighed as he wrote down something on the chart then held out a cup containing an unknown liquid towards Edward. Asker started calling Edward to his laboratory to perform various tests on him. He collected blood samples and even tested immunity levels using various syringes and drugs. The most terrifying experience for Edward was when he had to go inside the analyzer.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(It was really scary. Mechanical noises were way too loud….)''
| |
| *''Edward frowned as he swallowed the drug Asker gave him. It was very bitter.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(Come to think of it, mother seemed a bit strange recently too…)''
| |
| *''Grace also had been leaving her laboratory frequently. It's been a while since she had tended to her flowers and plants, and at one time, she took Edward who was in middle of a test outside then got into a big fight with Asker.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(There are lot of days when mother isn't there even though I go to see her….)''
| |
| *''Even Edward knew very well that the atmosphere in the house was a bit strange. But he didn't have any clue as to what was about to happen.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''I'm here.''
| |
| *''Edward headed to Grace's laboratory after finishing the test then carefully knocked on the door. But as Edward expected, Grace wasn't in her laboratory today as well. Edward waited in front of the laboratory for a long time then finally turned around to head towards his room. As Edward weakly moved his steps, he thought that it was bit lonely for some reason.''

| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Son? Child? Those mean nothing. That kid was merely a central piece to my plan ever since he was born.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''How could you say such a thing! Have you….. really been thinking that way all this time?''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Kahaha… isn't that obvious?''
| |
| *''Edward pressed on the ground with his two trembling hands and carefully peeked his head inside to see the two of them. His father had his head buried in the table focusing on his research and his mother was standing far away from his father shaking her head as if she was at a loss for words.''
| |
| *'''Grace''': ''No matter what happens, I'll stop it from happening.''
| |
| *''There was a never before seen mechanical device behind Asker. Edward stretched his head inside more to take a look at it closely, at that moment….''
| |
| *'''Asker''': ''Who is it!?''
| |
| *''Edward's arm ended up touching the shelf near the door. Component that was on the shelf made a loud noise as it fell to the ground.''

| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(Haah…. I thought I was going to get caught.)''
| |
| *''Edward confirmed Grace closing the door to the laboratory then quickly turned around to escape from the hallway. His father and mother's conversation worried him but there was nothing Edward could do. Fear about what will happen after started to flow into him.''
| |
| *'''Edward''': ''(…. I'm scared…. What's about to happen?)''
| |
| *''Edward huddled up his trembling body as he lied down on his bed. He missed his mother's warm embrace so much.''
