"I should have escaped that hypnotic effect sooner and get you out from that prison. My incompetence had caused your suffering this whole day." said Chris, rather self-blaming.
"No... It's not, they had aimed for me since the beginning, the only thing to be blamed for is that I was born as my father's only son. I have to bear these consequences no matter what." said Ben.
"Does it mean you hate to be his son?" Chris asked, still with his eyes closed.
"No, it's no hate nor like. He is a great person and a responsible father... Just that, he is too great that everyone will always remember me as his son, it's always like that all these years... With his death, I as his son has the responsibility to continue his legacy especially when he linked his anything to me including parts of his memories. But yet, as such an entrusted son of him, I don't even know what happened that day when he passed away, which is an unfortunate. " said Ben, in a rather complex feeling.
Chris slowly opened his eyes and glared at Ben.
"Do you want to know how he dies? I could tell you everything you want to know, that is if you really want to know." said Chris.
Ben shook his head.
"It's alright, I had pretty guessed what happened, probably it would be better if I don't know it in detail." said Ben, Chris nodded without saying anything.

Unknown village, prison.
Sky and Junior had found all their belongings taken by the angel's army in a big locker room while beaten up the remaining guards in there. They are now exploring the prison area with a simple brief sketching of map on a small piece of paper.
"Ah... Seriously, I told him to sketch out briefly, but not this brief! How are we going to find anything with this line." said Sky. Indeed, instead of a 'map', it is just a plain zigzag line.
"Is my mother really in here?" Junior asked, a bit anxious.
"Can't guarantee that but we can't ignore all the possibilities, right?" said Sky, Junior nodded.
"Now, let's see... Chris said that he saw a locked door at the end of this line... Hmm... Let's just try finding that door, it's impossible for me to understand this 'map'." said Sky while burned the 'map' with his elemental magic.
Then, for the next thirty minutes, they searched all possible routes that will fit the patterns of the 'map' that drawn by Chris. They had found three routes that led to three different doors, all of the doors are locked securely with metal locks and password locks.
"I guess it should be one of these three doors." said Sky.
"What should we do right now?" Junior asked.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After a while, Sky and Junior returned to the mini dimension and were greeted by Bob, yes, Bob.
"Ah! Junior! You are finally back! Chris is busy right now, while Dr. Ben is resting. I'm so lonely and boring!" said Bob.
Sky looks around the area in the mini dimension, indeed, as Bob said, Chris is reading the memory of that angel again while Ben is sleeping or probably been put to sleep by Chris.
"Ah... This guy is doing this memory magic without any support again. Seriously, what the hell is he even thinking?" said Sky.
"You know, I can hear that clearly." said Chris all of the sudden, which gives Sky a sudden goosebump.
"Don't worry, his memories are easy to infiltrate, so, support is not really needed. And I didn't put Ben to sleep, or rather he is not even sleeping, he just closed his eyes for some kind of meditation." said Chris.
"Ah... Haha.." Sky laughed awkwardly.
After Chris had finally done investigating that angel's memories, Sky told him about what they found in the prison area earlier and asked for his opinion.
"From what I get from his memory just now, there is a key hidden in one of the cell room, that key is probably the one that used to open the lock, while the password is also written in that cell room's hidden corner. So, you might need to find that cell room." said Chris.
"Uh... No exact clue about which cell room it could be?" Sky asked, rather troubled.
"No, the only special thing about that cell room is that it is slightly bigger than the other cell room, not very significant." said Chris.
"I see, I guess we will have to search every single cell room in the prison area." said Sky before give out a short sigh.
"Well, I advise you to do it tomorrow morning, it's quite late right now and we all had a hard day today. Take some rest. And don't worry, I had blocked all the possible entry on the prison, no one would be able to enter it at this moment." said Chris.
"Yes, you are right, today is really a hard day. You should have a rest as well, you look a bit pale." said Sky.
"... *sigh*... This mini dimension is certainly not the perfect place for taking a rest but I guess we have no choice but to bear with it. I will take the sofa." said Chris, who headed to the sofa at the mini lounge.
He pulled out a cat plushie and blanket from a hidden hole at the side of the sofa, before lied down and covered himself with the blanket.
"Ah... When the hell he hide that in there?" Sky is a bit surprised by the rather cute deed of Chris.
"So... Where should we be sleeping? There is no other bed or sofa left." Bob asked.
Then Sky pointed at the floor before taking out some dices from his pocket and throw them onto the floor. The dices turned into some thin blankets.
"These might not be as comfy as the one that used by Chris, but definitely sufficient enough for our situation right now." said Sky while taking one of the blankets and walked towards Chris.
Sky leaned to the edge of the sofa and covered himself with the blanket.
"You heard him." said Junior before taking another blanket.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
