## Summary

### Hiling's Old Friend

In a place deprived of light, Hiling calls out to her son Daida and hears his disembodied voice in the distance calling out to her. However, Hiling 's way to Daida is blocked by an invisible wall she can't break through.

Awakening under a shady tree on a grass field, Hiling's knight Dorshe checks up on her. Despite Hiling 's order to return to the Bosse Kingdom's Castle, Dorshe regretfully informs her that she cannot, reciting the warning that Bosse possessing Daida's body gave to him. The obstinate Hiling, however, insisted that she return to her kingdom regardless of any consequences, but Dorshe suggests they find allies to aid in their endeavor.

That night, they visit a small village and meet with a woman named Ann, who Hiling once knew, and ask for her help. However, she has prior commitments with the village as a bandit problem plagues it. Hence, Hiling decides to help Ann and her companion Dou deal with the bandit problem despite Dorshe's admonishment.

Now wearing a suit of armor, Hiling's group heads to the bandit hideout and, by dusk, make a camp close to a mountain. During the night, Dorshe talks with Ann about his concern about returning to the Bosse Kingdom and Ann about her relationship with Hiling.

Before dawn, Hiling's group launches a surprise attack against the bandits, where their combined efforts defeat them and their leader. Furthermore, Hiling casts two spells on the leader, a healing spell and a proxy spell, where if he commits any sins again, his wounds will reopen, causing him to bleed to death. She also orders the leader to have his men, and him serve the village as its protectors. In admission to Anne, Hiling claims that the last spell was a lie.

Once the problem in the village has been settled, Hiling and her companions head back to the Bosse Kingdom.

### Daida and Magic

Sometime in the past, a wounded bird fell onto the grounds of the Bosse Kingdom, and Hilling used her magic to heal it. Both Bojji and Daida watch in amazement. Daida, especially, who then asks his mother to teach him how to use healing magic. He fails in his first attempt, trying to heal a single flower, and fails despite his greatest efforts.

One day, Daida catches his brother Bojji going off on an adventure and struggles to chase after him. Once he finally catches up to him, Bojji and Daida have fun playing together until it starts to rain. The two then head home, and on the way, Bojji asks Daida if he's afraid. Upsettingly, Daida pushes Bojji, which unintentionally makes him fall off a cliff, causing Bojji's left knee to become injured.

Going down to help his brother, Daida nearly injures himself on his way down. He then attempts to heal his brother's injury and successfully does it after a couple of attempts, but faints due to exhaustion.

Eventually, Daida awakens in his room with Hiling and Boji by his side. Daida was surprised to learn that Bojji's injury was healed with his magic.
