Ethan soaks in a lotus pond to help Snowy because Ethan's body is still weak.
"Shut up there. Don't go anywhere. In half an hour I'll be back. If you hear any sound just ignore it. Understood?" Snowy asked, reminding.
"Thank you" said Ethan, who could only obey Snowy.
The scent of the lotus flower calmed Ethan's body greatly. Not realizing he was asleep while leaning on the edge of the pool rocks.
Ethan sees something he has never dreamed of before. His hands are full of blood. He killed someone using a sword carved by an eagle. A girl's body was covered in blood, a puncture wound was seen on the girl's stomach. Ethan looked at the girl's face. Only his eyes and eyebrows were clearly visible.
Ethan wakes up from his sleep panting. He was still inside that lotus pond.
"God. What a dream it is" muttered Ethan feeling his heart ache.
Snowy, who has just returned to bring food for Ethan, sees Ethan's wakah pale.
"What's wrong? Does it still hurt?" Asked Snowy worriedly. Do not let him be considered to hurt humans again. It could be a big problem later.
"No. I just had a weird dream" Ethan said.
"Oh. Consider it a sleeping flower. Come outside. You've had enough to soak in there. Get up and get out yourself" Snowy said.
Ethan's body feels light. Different from before. Now he is more powerful to walk even though occasionally still feels pain in the chest that is injured. And miraculously the wound on his leg now disappeared without a trace after he had soaked earlier.
"Ah. I still can't believe I'm going through this weird thing" Ethan said.
"There are a lot of secret things in the world that you don't understand. But don't go too far to find out our world. You'll die if you make a wrong move. You're just a human being, another thing if you're a chosen human" Snowy said casually.
Snowy offers Ethan two plates of food on the table. There are wagyu meat, vegetables, and fruits. There are fresh coconuts there too.
"You eat like a human?" Ethan asked, curious about the creature.
"certain. I don't like raw food. I love human food" Snowy said honestly.
Ethan feels weird. Dogs love human food, even fruits.
"You're weird" Ethan said.
"You're stranger!" Snowy's reply was upset.
"Me??" Ethan doesn't understand what Snowy means.
"Yes. If ordinary humans would have been afraid to meet creatures so be like us. You look calm" Snowy said.
Ethan realizes that he is not afraid of Snowy. Only he still felt as strange as he was dreaming.
"Honestly I still think it's a dream" Ethan said.
Suddenly Snowy hits Ethan on the head.
"Ouch!" Ethan's cry was shocked at the sudden hit.
"It hurts, right? Means you're not dreaming" Snowy said casually.
Ethan's eyes are in disbelief. Just this time someone dared to hit him right on the head. By a dog anyway.
"You're this. What kind of dog hits a human?" Ethan complains while stroking the part that Snowy hit. Not hard but pretty tasteful for Ethan.
"Sky dog! You think I'm a random dog?" Ask Snowy.
"Why are you following Baruna? Sky dogs will not always be in the sky? Then you're a god?" Ethan asked curiously.
Snowy took a long breath. He was too badly regarded as a god.
"I killed a man because of heartache. And it wasn't once. I used to make troublemakers until the sky punished me too. The last time I made trouble and killed a human family, I was almost destroyed. Thanks to Baruna I'm still safe. That's why I decided to be loyal to him" Snowy said briefly.
"Dogs are always made to be loyal to their masters" Ethan continued. He remembered his pet Husky who was so loyal that he always kept his own well. No one can get into Ethan's room if Ethan isn't home. His Husky dog will be on guard fear if his master's belongings are stolen.
"I love the Fur very much. My dog's name is Bulu. He's very clever. He always listens to whatever I say. Even though I often left her at home because she was busy, she remained loyal to me" Ethan recalled her husky feathers.
"It's good that you love him. If it's not possible I can kill you" Snowy said guiltlessly.
Ethan just smiled. He began to understand that a dog also has the same feelings as a human. They just can't talk like humans.
"When will I be here? And where's Baruna?" Ethan asked curiously.
"Until you're really healthy. Because if you haven't fully recovered then when you're attacked again you can die immediately" Snowy said.
"Oh. Alright. You haven't answered where Baruna is?" Ethan asked again.
"When hunting" said Snowy casually.
"Huh? A hunt? For food? Don't you eat human food?" Ethan did not understand.
"It's not hunting to eat. But hunting to find the perpetrator and the root of the problem dares to mess with his area" Snowy explained with a smile.
Ethan still doesn't understand. He doesn't understand what Snowy means. But because he was hungry he did not ask anymore and immediately enjoyed the food brought by Snowy.

Elsewhere, Baruna was stepping on a psychic. It was a red-clad shaman who sent an evil creature to kill Ethan.
"Say who told you to?" Asked Baruna coldly.
"Argh.. Forgiver. He was the first client I met. I don't recognize it too far" said the psychic honestly. He only accepted the task and was paid a lot.
"You want to die tormented in my hands?" Baruna asked with a sharp look at the psychic.
"Ti-No. I'm sorry. I don't really recognize him too far but what I've heard is he's fighting over the inheritance with the person he wants to kill" said the psychic honestly.
"Is he going back to this place?" Ask Baruna again.
"Maybe. He said knowing me from his acquaintances that I could send powerful beings to do anything" said the psychic.
"alright. If he comes, you have to ask him who he is. If you need to give me a picture. Got it? Don't try to lie to me. You will die if you do that" said Baruna, staring at a snake she was assigned to perch obediently near the psychic's desk
The psychic felt frightened and could only nod. This creature before him was a beautiful girl yet very cruel. Even the strongest pet had to be charred and destroyed which made the psychic also had to be affected by spewing blood.
Baruna left the shaman's place back to the east coast.
Baruna's eyes were fixed on a cliff near the east coast. The cliff that holds the story of the cruelest night as his body is dumped into the ocean.
"A little more. I can return Papa and Mama's good names. Dea Sari, where are you. I won't let you go" muttered Baruna.
Dea Sari who spread rumors also indecent video Baruna to their family chat group. Dea Sari is greedy for Grandpa Baruna's treasure. Dea Sari was also the one who drove out and seized the house of Grandfather who lived in the Baruna family. Dea Sari even with the heart to spread hatred until everyone even the neighbors of the Baruna family also berated and demeaned his family.
Dea Sari the greedy and envious of the day. The will of the Grandfather who would only give a share to the female offspring of his children made Dea Sari jealous, although in fact the life of Dea Sari was already entrenched in treasure and happy but it was not enough for him. In his father's extended family, aka Grandpa Baruna, all of the girls did not survive until the age of 12. Including the daughter of Dea Sari. Only Baruna, the only one, survived and grew healthy after many times nearly dying as a child.
"You may share blood with my Papa. But you don't deserve to be my aunt. I'll make sure you're ruined!" Baruna said with anger. The waves seemed to ring out strongly showing Baruna's great anger.
