 Clamor: (Good job, Noah. That wasn't too bad for your first big battle.) Noah: (It's all thanks to you. And... that person over there.)- Clamor: (Let's go thank her later.)
 Lu: The Shadow Earl's castle... In the end, the master of the house was not home. Rose: Where did Ran go, leaving so many of his shadows behind? Eve: The shadows made sure we paid for trespassing. Rena: At the very least, we found one person we were looking for, and we've confirmed that Ran retreated, so it's good enough for now.- Rena: And there's someone right here who can tell us where Ran might have gone.
 Aren: ....... Raven: ....... Laby: ......?- Aren: ... Oh, were you talking about me?
 Add: Who else is here other than you.- Aren: I apologize. I was merely waiting for you to finish your conversation.
 Ain: I didn't think he resembled Ms. Fox that much, but there's no denying they're siblings. Ara: People often said that when we were growing up. I'm happy.- Noah: (I don't think that was a compliment...)
- Aren: My name is Aren Haan. Call me Aren. I'm ashamed to say this... But I was once the host for Ran.
- Aren: I have lost control over my body for a long time. I do not remember much during that time, but I will answer to the best of my abilities.
 Elesis: Then... can you tell us what Ran was up to after the failed Hamel Invasion?- Aren: I remember meeting another demon... the Queen of Succubus who was also part of the Red Demon Army. Ran wanted the prophecy from the Priestesses...
- Aren: But at some point, the plan met some setbacks. I believe it was because another faction decided to... change the plan.
- Laby: Change the plan?
 Elsword: Scar wanted to summon the Demon God in Elrios. Perhaps he's talking about that. Aisha: The prophecy... We ended up meeting with the El Lady and the Sun Master to fulfill the prophecy. I wonder what Ran was planning to do with it.- Rose: Did he want the Giant El?
 Ciel: I don't think so. The restoration of the El... was more of an accident. Even if Ran fulfilled the prophecy, he wouldn't have gotten hold of the Giant El.- Elsword: An accident...
- Aren: Ran was enraged while confused at the same time. Even I could feel his emotion despite my faint consciousness.
 Chung: What kind of confusion?- Aren: I believe he felt that he was... missing something.
- Aren: After acknowledging his doubt, he came back to the Demon Realm right away and began investigating alone.
- Chung: Do you know what he was investigating?
- Aren: I'm sorry... I do not actually remember much during this time. After coming back to the Demon Realm, Ran used something to recover his power... not the El, but it was some kind of ore.
- Aren: The more his power grew, the more it felt like I was falling into a deep slumber. I did regain consciousness occasionally, but everything felt blurry like a dream.
- Raven: Could it be that he used the Dark El?
- Add: No, he's talking about the gems. Remember our encounter with them at the Shadow Vein in Varnimyr?
- Lu: It must have been harder to escape his grasps the stronger he became. How did you manage to escape?
- Aren: ... I was discarded.
- Aren: One day, I woke up all alone. I could tell he has left using my senses.
- Ciel: It does match with what the Dream Demons said.
- Raven: He investigated something alone, and left leaving the Red Demon Army behind... It must have something to do with the invasion.
- Aisha: It makes sense he would just leave, if he thought there's no one he could trust.
- Rena: I could not find the shell that contained the Moon El. Perhaps he took it with him.
- Rena: Hm... Is that all we can learn for now?
- Elesis: Now that we know Ran lost control of the army, that's at least one thing off the list of what we came to the Demon Realm for.
- Eve: We've managed to accomplish considerable things, so we should rest.
- Eve: I'm sure the siblings have a lot to catch up on.
- Ara: Thank you for your consideration.

- Aren: ... I see. I thought there must have been a way, since Ran also managed to back and forth between Elrios and the Demon Realm, but I didn't realize it wasn't something exclusive to demons.
- Ara: Yes. So we can go back. Whenever we wish.
- Aren: Oh, that's...
- Ara: .......
- Ara: Brother, you told me I was mistaken about you.
- Ara: Truth be told, there's something you're mistaken about me as well.
- Aren: What is it?
- Ara: Huhu, floral tea. I've actually never liked it. I find it too bitter.
- Aren: ... You didn't? But you always looked so happy.
- Ara: And I was. I liked the treats you got me with the tea.
- Ara: And I enjoyed the time we spent together drinking it.
- Aren: Is that so? I didn't know.
- Ara: We cannot always know everything about each other, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
- Ara: Eun told me once that this world is big, and it will sometimes flow in a direction we humans cannot control.
- Ara: Eun is not human, so she always looks at the bigger picture. That's probably why she understood this faster than any of us.
- Ara: If you try to go along with the flow, it will be a peaceful life... But you won't gain anything other than peace.
- Ara: Perhaps that peace has desensitized us in some way.
- Aren: .......
- Ara: I've decided to go against the flow. If anyone tells me I'm wrong, I'm going to persuade them and fight for my right.
- Ara: It's not going to be an easy path, and I'll probably make a lot of enemies... But as long as we're together, I think I'll be ok.
- Ara: So will you take a step as well? We are only human and cannot do much alone, but that's why we have to stick together.
- Aren: ... Thank you, Ara. I know I cannot just wallow in my mistakes.
- Aren: But...
- Ara: ...?
- Aren: Who is... Eun?
- Ara: .......
- Ara: ... Huhu. Oh, I'm sorry for laughing.
- Ara: It's just... There's so many things I want to talk about, don't you?
