Denied hope, Roland sat on the shore of a deserted harbor and looked at the distant horizon.

I've been searching for a job for months since then, but the more I move, the more accurate the rumors are of those with the “devil's eye”, and at the end I get paid in advance. You can be shouted and thrown at just walking around town.

This country is hard to live for those who have the "eyes of the devil”. Humans fear, dislike, and reject things beyond comprehension. The words and deeds of the heartless Diostra were hunting down Roland. Sometimes Roland was not treated as a person.

Now Roland was caught between the boards. If we die, we may be free from this unbearable suffering.

But every time I thought about it, it was Kaiser and Isaac's faces that came into Roland's mind. If Roland leaves this world, Kaiser and Isaac, who know nothing about the outside world, will be left alone in this filthy, horrible world.

The sense of responsibility as a parent eventually stopped Roland from connecting to the world.

"Hey, aren't you the man with the Devil's Eye?

When various thoughts were staggered in Roland's head, someone could be heard.

"Do you hate these eyes so much?" Another heartless person is about to bathe in heartless words. Roland, who thought so, turned to his voice with wrinkles (wrinkles) on his nose.

Looking back, a young gentleman with black hair stood. Roland didn't move at all when he stared at him, and he had a cool smile. Contrary to Roland's expectations, the smile did not look ridiculous in any way.

"No, I'm rather intrigued by the 'eye'," said the prodigal man, completely different from Roland's prediction. This man is not afraid of the "eyes of the devil” and does not reject it.

"Who are you," Roland realized, showing interest in the virtuous man.

"My name is Night Dissember, Commander of the Knights of the Black Wizards (Grigori) Knights, and I am Commander of the M-12 Corps. I'm from the Kingdom of Celtoria."

What appeared before Roland was undoubtedly Night Disseminator. Far before meeting Elliot, Night was visiting the kingdom of Diostra.

"Grigori... I've heard that before. You came all the way from Celtoria for me?

The Knights' name also reached this Diostra, far away from the time. Roland certainly heard the name, but he didn't even know what kind of organization the Knights were.

"I'm here to scout you. Join the Knights."

Roland doubted his ears. None of the people Roland asked me to hire. And yet the Knights want Roland.

"Now what? Roland doubted his ears. I had a slight hunch from the flow of the conversation, but when it was conveyed as a word, Roland's head turned pure white. That can't be true. Roland, who has been rejected until now, is unacceptable to the reality in front of him.

"That's why we need you. The eyes of the devil and the skill of a firm workout. You're a gem we never wanted."

Are you serious? If you're kidding, it's not for free. "Roland's vigilance became significantly stronger after the rumors spread. Roland, who continued to suffer terribly, could not easily trust others.

"I'm even serious. You were unconsciously striking the sword with your“ eyes ”as you watched the flow of energy. I've seen the swords you've struck, but they're all amazing. You are a natural forger. I'm sure you'll be able to strike a great magic sword."

Roland used the unconscious power of his eyes to forge. Combining strength and experience, Roland was the best forger Night knew. Not only that, but the extraordinary power to see magic sublimates Roland even to a great black sorcerer (Grigori).

"So, are you sure the Knights need me?

"You're a very suspicious person. I'm not lying. You are special. That's why the Knights want you." Night underestimated Roland's vigilance.

"But... it's going to take Sertolia days from here. The kids are waiting at home. I can't leave them overseas." Roland was confused. I should be glad to find a job, but Roland has a reason not to leave the country.

"But if you stay in this country, you won't be able to raise two children.

"Why do you know that?" Roland rounded his eyes when he heard Night's words. This prodigal man knows what happened to the Restore family.

"Don't underestimate the Knights. We've already looked into you before scouting. If you want to help the Knights, I'll pay you what you want."

With Dreamer's power, Knight must have done everything he could to find out about Roland. What Roland wants most now is gold. Night was judging that way.

"Are you sure you want as much as you want?

"Yeah," Night nodded.

Roland sparkled his eyes. As Night thought, what Roland really wanted was a lot of money. He came looking for a new job to get the money.

There was also an option to take Kaiser and Isaac to Celtoria, but Roland did not come to the idea. Roland's thought circuit had become short-circuited, dominated by the huge amount of money he had ever sought from his throat.

Money will solve everything. The extreme state of dislike from all over the country has made Roland's thoughts extreme.

Not knowing that it would be the beginning of a gap between parents and children, Roland took the knight's hand.

"Hold on a second. I want you to give me a little conditionality. I want the children to live a life free of any inconvenience. I want you to be well educated away from the Diostra. Of course, you can deduct that from your salary." Still, Roland couldn't come to the conclusion that he lived with his sons. You have to let something go in order to get something. Roland was dominated by that idea.

"You're a very luxurious person. Well, that's good. I'll do what you want. Certainly, I want those children to be independent from a selfish and prejudiced world." With a soft expression, Night swallowed Roland's demands.

Roland returned home soon thereafter. Roland came back with a cage full of fruits, vegetables, bread, and grain. The mountains of food were bought by Night. By this time, people had refused to sell anything to Roland.

"It's too late, Dad, what were you doing?" Kaiser scolded Roland without looking back. The day I met Night, Roland came home particularly late.

When Kaiser looked back, Roland showed off a thick bundle of bills and left them in a mess in front of my child.

"What is it... I can't believe I stole it!" Kaiser couldn't understand what was happening in front of her. There is no place in this country where a father can work. Kaiser couldn't possibly derive a lot of food and why Roland got a lot of money.

"I won't do that. I found a job." Roland's expression was brighter than ever. Roland was freed from life rejected by people this day.

"Did you find a job? What? What are you talking about? It's because of that eye that no one hired me." Kaiser hasn't been able to follow the rapidly changing situation.

"Oh, there's no place in this country where I can work."

"What? I don't know what it means... to leave Diostra? Kaiser is confused.

"That's right. I'm going to Celtoria. I'm going to disappear before you."

"Gone... you want me to live with Isaac alone?" Kaiser was upset. It's only natural because the father says he'll give up childcare.

"I'm not alone. I'm also arranging for someone to raise you. Instead of giving you enough money, I'll be deprived of my liberty. I want you to live without this prejudiced and exclusive world." Roland had a grieving smile on his face. Deprivation of liberty means that even the time previously devoted to raising children must be spent for the Knights.

"That's too selfish! You think I'm gonna let you go like this? I was poor, but I couldn't go anywhere, but I lived in this house and thought I was happy there.

Roland stopped moving for a moment when he heard Kaiser screaming from his heart. Roland took it upon himself that his sons had always thought they were unhappy.

Welcome back, Father.

That's when Isaac woke up asleep. Roland was going to leave this house soon, but he was getting increasingly stuck.

Various thoughts swirl in Roland. If you leave here, you can promise your beloved sons a free life, but to be honest, I want to stay here. I want to stay and spend time with my family.

On the other hand, it is also true that even if we continue to live here, there is only a stuck future. Roland closed his eyes to choose the right answer.

"Stay strong" After a while, Roland opened his mouth. And he left the house early, turning his back on his two sons.

"Dad, what's wrong? Isaac doesn't understand what's going on right now. Little children don't know that their father gave up being a father.

Without looking back at Isaac's voice behind her, Roland moves forward. I can't go back to my life anymore.

"Wait, Dad!" Kaiser chased Roland and hugged him from behind. Roland shakes it off.

But Kaiser stood up again and again to chase him. Tears flow quietly from Roland's eyes. I really don't want to throw it away, but I have to.

Knowing Roland couldn't stop, Kaiser stared at his father's back as he sat on the ground and left. Isaac rushed to Caesar, sitting still, with a childish understanding that it wasn't all he had to do.

"Father! Why are you doing such a terrible thing?" Isaac wept when he saw Kaiser's cold father.

Hearing that sad voice, Roland couldn't bear to go back. If we go back to that house, we will live with our two sons.

But it's blunt and fragile happiness. Fear from the surroundings easily destroys that happiness.

Roland shrugged off the practice and finally disappeared from the front of the two.
