Shin and Ae then walked away from the group.


    Shin strictly asked them to not follow him. He didn''t apany any shadow wolves either and just walked away.


    Actually, if one would have just imed that he was Kira, Shin wouldn''t have believed him and wouldn''t have gone all the way. But just because the system confirmed it, he decided to go.


    No one other than Ae followed him. They went back to the rooms as instructed.


    Shin walked back to the hut-like buildings that were built where they had their meals a few minutes ago.


    Kira was standing near the entrance of the building.


    Shin spotted a giant brown-furred wolf, but he wasn''t deceived by the appearance.


    The name ''Kira'' floated right above the wolf''s head.


    Kira smiled a little as he saw Shin arrive.


    However, his feelings became tangled when he saw Ae right beside him, apanying him.


    ''Master, she...?''


    Since the connection was still present, Kira could ask Shin using telepathy.


    ''Don''t worry, I haven''t told about you to her. She is just following me as a means to protect me.'', Shin reassured Kira.


    After taking a few more steps, Shin almost arrived right in front of Kira.


    He wanted to talk to him, however, when Ae saw the big brown wolf, she was pissed off.


    She thought that he was blocking Shin''s path.


    *Grrr*


    "You!"


    "Move aside! How dare you block his highness'' path?", she raised her voice a bit, almost attracting the scattered attention from the nearby crowd.


    Shin turned his head towards Ae and red at her a bit, scaring her for a second.


    He said, "Stop creating amotion out of nothing."


    Ae didn''t argue and just shut her mouth by saying, "Yes."


    Her ears lowered a bit which was true for her head too.


    ''Kira, it wouldn''t be safe to talk here. Let''s go somewhere else...'', Shin said.


    Kira nodded his head.


    Shin and Ae then started walking and Kira started to follow them.


    ''Why did high highness Shin scold me...?''


    ''Isn''t that wolf at a fault?'', Ae was feeling bad as she kept asking herself various questions.


    She turned her head back to check on the brown wolf because of whom she got scolded only to realize that he was following them!


    ''Eh!?''


    ''Why is he following us?'', Ae seemed worried.


    ''Should I say something?'', she wondered.


    But after thinking for a few seconds, she concluded about not calling the brown wolf out.


    ''There is no way that His Highness isn''t aware of him...''


    Ae kept quiet and followed Shin.


    After a few minutes, they entered the forest.


    Shin saw that many beasts were lingering in the forest, walking towards the stadium. It seemed as if they hade only to enjoy the stalls and program.


    He even found some beasts leaving as if their work was done and they had no more reasons to stay here.


    After seeing them, Shin decided to go further, deeper into the forest to talk with Kira.


    He continued walking and soon, after about ten minutes, they reached a deeper area where no one was present.


    Shin even made sure to use his All-Seeing eyes to check clearly - there was no one.


    Ae stood towards his left whereas Kira, who had disguised himself, was about ten meters behind them.


    Shin turned around and then murmured, "We are free to talk now."


    Kira nodded his head and said, "Yes…"


    Ae was now convinced that the unfinished task was rted to the big brown wolf.


    He stared at Ae for a bit after which he said, "Master, there is something important that I want to say, and it is regarding your name and your origins…"


    "Oh?", Shin stared at him.


    "But Kira, first tell me, how were you able to survive?", Shin asked.


    Ae, who was not meddling or trying to think much about their talks, suddenly felt chills running down her spine.


    ''K-Kira…?'', she was surprised when she heard the name.


    She looked at Shin who had no change in expression and stared at the brown wolf who seemed to talk casually as well.


    ''Did I mishear…?'', she asked, as she let the thought go, only to hear Shin call his name once again.


    "That was thanks to my skill master…", Kira said.


    Well, Kira was a dark wolf having some skills from the shadow branch. He could turn into shadow or into darkness just like Shin.


    "Yea… but Kira, you could have at leaste and revealed yourself earlier. Why now? And what is that important thing regarding my name and origins? Who told you about it? Just what is going on?", Shin asked a bunch of numerous questions.


    "Y-your highness…"


    "You keep calling him with the same name as my father…"


    "Does-", Ae interrupted and wanted to be rified regarding the matter.


    Shin didn''t hesitate and instantly answered her.


    "Ah."


    "He is your father. He is Kira in flesh.", Shin said nonchntly.


    "…"


    "What!?", Ae raised her voice, hearing something unbelievable.


    Kira, who was going to exin the important stuff from the start, was now tangled in different things.


    The talking was not going with his flow, rather, he was going with Shin''s flow.


    Shin wanted to hear about Kira''s doings and why he approached him after all this time. He even wanted to know about those important things that he mentioned at the start - but, Kira had to calm down.


    Those topics were important indeed, but there was no hurry right now. He revealed and purposely called him by his name from the start in order to give some time so that he and Ae could reunite and talk for a bit.


    "Sigh…", Kira sighed right after which, his fur changed its color.


    His fur first turned white and then slowly turned ck.


    With the same gigantic appearance as earlier, Kira had assumed his normal form.


    ''He still looks as menacing as earlier…'', Shin swallowed arge chunk of saliva as he felt a wave of Kira''s aura hit him.
