Chapter 38

"What are you referring to?"

"I've heard that those who manifested second genders periodically emit a scent from their bodies both during and after it manifested."

Emitting a scent from their bodies. It was a roundabout way of saying they were in heat.

"It hasn't happened in our Cavalry yet, but wouldn't accidents occur if they are in close proximity during such periods? As a place where the awakeners gather, I believe it's an issue you should consider, Commander, for the sake of the future."

Furthermore, it was absolutely necessary to establish a system quickly for organizations with a particularly high ratio of awakeners, like this Southern Army, and for the sake of the country where more and more awakeners would live together in the future.

'In the past, laws could only be established after numerous accidents had occurred.'

Two years had passed since the Red Stone fell, and until now, the number of awakeners had not been that great. However, as time went on, the number of awakeners steadily increased, and the types of abilities diversified. Along with this, the number of those who manifested second genders also increased, leading to many accidents due to unavoidable reasons.

A considerable amount of time was needed for people to recognize and familiarize themselves with a new phenomenon and find a way to cope with it. The same went for those who manifested second genders.

The notion that those who manifested a second gender must be separated from people for a while. That one should not carelessly encounter Alphas or Omegas in heat. Even such basic information was unknown to everyone at this point.

Normally, someone would have to suffer for such information to be gradually disseminated, but Yuder didn't like that.

"Accidents caused by the manifestation of second genders... That's a valid point."

"If there are no rules when an incident occurs and requires handling... it will be too late."

It must be designated as early as possible. When the Cavalry was newly formed and everything was still possible, and when there was no one to threaten Kishiar's position.

"Understood. I was in the process of creating internal regulations with the help of jurists anyway, so there will be no problem adding this. I'll take it into consideration."

"Thank you."

"But how did you, a non-manifested, think this far?"

He couldn't reply that it was because he was the one who would manifest as an Omega in the future, so Yuder lied.

"I heard about these things before joining the Cavalry, so I wanted to propose it."

"I see."

No matter how smart Kishiar La Orr was, he couldn't deduce the absurd truth that Yuder had memories of the future. Kishiar easily accepted Yuder's answer.

"We've come this far while talking. It's late, let's meet tomorrow."

While they were conversing, they had unknowingly returned to the place where they first met.

Glancing up at the starry sky and estimating the time by the position of the moon, Kishiar turned away even before receiving Yuder's farewell.

He was refreshingly indifferent, not the type of person who would suggest spending the night together.

Yuder watched silently until his figure completely disappeared into the darkness.

Kishiar, who had placed the box next to the Red Stone, slowly picked up the shovel and approached.

"Captain, are you sure you want to do this alone?"

"Yes."

Gakane looked at the large shovel in Kishiar's hand as if it were a massive weapon. It seemed unthinkable to him to have the highest-ranking among them do such work, but Kishiar was adamant.

'I am best suited for this task, considering what happened yesterday. It would be absurd if I did nothing while my subordinates worked hard, wouldn't it?'

Gakane could say nothing against Kishiar, who stood firm with such resolve.

"Yuder, be ready to erect a protective barrier immediately if you sense anything strange, like yesterday."

"Yes."

"Then, I'll start digging."

Without hesitation, Kishiar plunged the shovel into the ground next to the Red Stone. At that moment, Yuder noticed a shimmering energy from Kishiar's hand, narrowing his eyes.

'Is it an enhancement ability?'

The shovel, sinking into the ground with a sound like settling dust, paused for a moment. Kishiar stood still, seemingly scrutinizing the Red Stone for any anomalies. Then, in a single swift motion, he dug up the Red Stone and swept it into the box.

"Ah!"

The Eldore siblings screamed in unison. Kanna also shrunk back, seemingly anticipating something to happen. From Gakane's feet, his shadow clone swiftly rose.

"..."

And nothing happened in the box.

"It seems we're in the clear."

Everyone stared at the box with puzzled expressions. The only ones who remained composed were Kishiar and Yuder.

With a relieved look on his face, Yuder turned to Kishiar, who was handing the shovel to Gakane, and spoke.

"It seems that as long as we don't touch it directly, we're safe. That's fortunate. Shall we fill it with water and freeze it to prevent it from moving around inside?"

"Can you do that?"

"I can also melt it instantly if needed."

"Hmm... No, I'd like to see that, but not now. The water created by your ability might trigger a reaction from the stone like yesterday."

Despite being inside a box, the Red Stone was still a red stone. It soon became clear that General Gino, a Swordmaster, and the Peletta knights could not approach the box at a certain distance.

Hence, it was decided that the box containing the Red Stone would be kept in Kishiar's private quarters.

"Yuder Aile, carry the box and follow me. Everyone else, return to your quarters. After resting tonight, we will depart for the capital tomorrow. That's all."

Yuder complied with Kishiar's orders and cradled the box containing the Red Stone. While it wasn't heavy, the energy emanating from the box still made his body feel heavy, and his skin prickled just as before.
