When Naku was reading a book about flowers, he was silent for a moment when he saw a picture of the flower he had been looking for, which is the Blazing Flower.

"Here it is..." Naku flipped through the paper in the book on the page that discussed Blazing Flower and didn't find any information that he didn't know.

"Hmm..." Naku focused his vision to look at all the words and sentences to look for valuable information.

Nano woke up from sleep mode and saw Naku who was very focused on reading the book he was holding. Nano didn't say anything and just looked but after a few seconds of looking at the book Naku was reading, Nano realized there was something strange on the paper.

"..? Naku, can you show me the book?" Nano flies and floats next to Naku.

"The book? Do you want to read it too?" Naku asked Nano.

"No... I just wanted to check something." Nano used one of its functions, and scanning the book that Naku was holding and got a results that surprised her.

"This..." Nano looked at the data she had scanned.

"What's wrong Nano?" Naku asked while looking at Nano.

Nano's eyes then glowed and illuminated the book that Naku was holding, the light changed the title of the book which was originally "Flowery Dictionary" to "Flowery Artifact".

"Eh..? This is an artifact?" Naku's eyes widened in shock at what he saw.

"I think this is an artifact of knowledge about all kinds of flowers, is the contents changed too?" Nano flew to Naku's right shoulder.

Naku then opened the book right to the page about Blazing Flower, and saw the information previously has been changed by mana and filled with new information that Naku didn't know yet.

"Oh...! Is there any information about the location..." Naku turned the book and focused his attention on finding the information he needed.

"...Here it is." Naku smiled and looked at the information about the location of the Blazing Flower.

"Blazing Flower is in.. Azure Authority? what place is that Nano?" Naku looked at Nano who was looking for data in his database.

"Azure Authority, a giant sky war weapon made by Project:ARK... I only have that information, I don't know what's next because I don't have access to the Project Ark database." Nano said to Naku.

"Hmm... Nano, do you think the little boy who sold this book in the bookstore before was from Project Ark?" Naku closed the book he was holding and put it in his bag.

"...If he really came from Project Ark, why didn't he capture us earlier?" Nano said to Naku.

***********************************

A few moments ago..

The bookstore keeper smiled while cleaning the dust from the dirty book he was holding then a beautiful woman in knight armor walked into the bookstore, the woman was Flair.

"Ah..? Welcome beautiful lady! Do you want to buy a book?" The child greeted her with a warm smile.

"Stop the acting, Revil. Overseer has given you a new mission." Flair said in a cold, heart-piercing tone and threw a Message Artifact that created a holographic sentence in the air.

"Continue with the plan and don't kill them, take them alive. I can't do anything because that would make Project Ark known to the whole world, and that can't be done until I find Veli." The message said.

"Hee... I wasn't given a break, but I'll do it." Revil said as he sat on the table and looked at Flair.

"I'm impressed with the plans you put forward for this mission." Flair said while looking at Revil with a cold gaze.

"Ahaha..! that feels like a compliment but also an insult. Well.. After all, I am the 5th Apostles.. of course I will do my job properly." Revil said while channeling the mana in his body.

The mana then released the illusory mana barrier, his body then became blurry and turned into a teenager dressed in luxurious clothes like a king.

"Then let's start the plan" Revil put on his king's robe and smiled at Flair.

Flair sighed and created a dimensional portal with a large amount of mana, the portal then pulled them both in and teleport them.

Naku saw Nano who looked confused then stood up and took his bag.

"Nano quickly get into the bag, I have a bad feeling about this." Naku took his things in a hurry and Nano flew into his bag.

"What's wrong.. Naku..?" Nano who looked very confused said to Naku.

"It's felt strange since we saw the bookstore, it looked empty even though it was full of good, quality books." Naku said as he ran and jumped off the clock tower.

Naku then landed on one of the tall buildings and saw a lot of shops on the street, Naku then ran towards one of the vendors on the side of the road which selling simple cloth and robes.

"I bought this uncle, just take the rest!" Naku quickly took one of the robes for sale and gave the seller a gold coin.

"Naku..! I detected 2 people chasing us!" Nano said while scanning the surroundings.

"Tch..!" Naku put on his robe and channeled mana into his foot to run faster, but the city of Darya was huge and he was still inside it.

Flair and Revil ran after Naku and Nano from behind, slowly closing the distance between them.

"Naku..! That was the woman at that time! But I don't know who was beside her!" Nano said to Naku who was running at high speed using mana.

Naku then jumped on top of the gate and saw large roots stretching into the sky.

"Root..?" Naku gasped and was confused when he saw the roots but then he jumped down to run from Darya City.

"Revil, do it." Flair said as she drew her sword and ran faster out the gate.

Naku saw that Flair who was preparing to slash him was immediately stopped by Nano who was flying in his bag and holding him back from landing, Nano then flew towards the root and Naku reached him.

"Ugh thanks Nano..!" Naku ran over the root and climbed it.

"NANO..! WHAT IS ABOVE THESE ROOTS?!" Naku said while running with all his might.

"I detected land above..! It's probably an flying island!" Nano said.

Naku reached the top and suddenly the roots disappeared instantly.

"Hah..?!" Naku's eyes widened when he saw that his footing below him suddenly disappeared.

Nano then flew in the bag to restrain him from falling but suddenly Naku felt restrained by a chain.

"Ugh..?!" Naku then saw a chain fly quickly and restrain his neck, the chain was engraved with a special pattern and was light blue in color.

Suddenly a glitched hologram appeared in the sky, the light from the hologram then disappeared and revealed the original form of the hologram, six large flying islands bound by a giant light blue chain, the chain was bound and connected to one direction, to an island with an area exceeding the size of Darya city which carries a massive city above it.

"It's time." Revil grinned and jumped on top of Darya's city gate.

"O CITIZENS OF DARYA, SOMEONE HAS INfILTRATED THE TERRITORY OF AZURE AUTHORITY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF AN INFRINGEMENT OCCURS?!" Revil said in a loud and authoritative voice like a king.

"..? that's.. the king of Scaldris?" One of the residents said looking at Revil.

One by one, the Darya residents' attention was diverted to Revil.

"YOU WILL GET BAD THINGS IF YOU DEAL WITH AZURE AUTHORITY, SHOULDN'T WE DO SOMETHING SO THAT DARYA DOESN'T BE WIPED LIKE ZEALUTERRA?!" Revil said in a loud and authoritative voice trying to attract the attention of all Darya citizens.

"C-Come to think of it... did Zealuterra disappear because of a conflict with the Azure Authority...?" One of the residents said tremblingly.

"T-THAT PERSON IS NOT FROM DARYA..!" One of the residents shouted in fear in defiance.

"YES IT IS, BUT THE AZURE AUTHORITY WILL ASSUME THAT ONE OF DARYA'S CITIZENS INFLATED INTO THE AZURE AUTHORITY BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED RIGHT ABOVE THE CITY OF DARYA!" Revil said in response to the words of the resident.

"B-but.. what should we do..? W-who is that person anyway..?!" One of Darya's residents said they fearfully realized they would be wiped out like Zealuterra.

"BUT DO NOT WORRY, PROJECT ARK HAS SOLVE THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS FROM DARYA INTAKING THE AZURE AUTHORITY. SOON PROJECT ARK WILL BUILD AN ARK TOWER IN DARYA CITY TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE CONFLICT OF THIS MISUNDERSTANDING!" Revil said loudly and smiled.

"R-really...? We'll be safe...?" One of the residents said.

"NOW I WILL BRING THIS INTRAIL INTO THE AZURE AUTHORITY TO BE JUDGE BY THEM." Revil said as he walked towards Flair.

"Haah.. we are safe.. so the bad rumors about the project are just rumors.. they are helping Darya City overcome this serious problem." One of the Darya residents said.

One by one, the residents of Darya talked about the Ark project, whose reputation was initially sketchy due to bad rumors about them becoming good. Now, all Darya residents have considered that the bad rumors about the Ark project are just lies.

"...You are such a bad person, you can do this mission and solve the problem regarding those rumors at the same time." Flair said as he looked at Revil who walked past him.

"I will continue my mission, you can go now to report to the Overseer" Revil said as he patted Flair's shoulder and walked towards Naku who was bound in chains.

"..." Naku looked at Revil with a look that looked a little scared.

"Hoo, looks like you look calm." Revil said with a smile.

"But, that calmness will soon disappear because... you will enter the Azure Authority." Revil chuckled before a knight riding a blue Pegasus flew towards Revil and Naku.

"Is this the intruder, Mr. Revil?" The knight said respectfully.

"Yeah, take him now." Revil said.

The knight then pulled the chains restraining Naku, and sent him flying towards the Azure Authority.

"...Nano, did they notice?" Naku whispered to Nano who was in his bag.

"No, I'll finish it in a moment." Nano said while accessing the data inside her.

Nano searches the data while simultaneously trying to freeing the artifact, because the chain currently restraining Naku is an artifact belonging to the Azure Authority.

Arriving at the giant gate of the Azure Authority, the knight opened the gate and pulled Naku inside.

The bright light shine on him and dazzled his eyes for a moment before he saw a beautiful and peaceful view of a massive city filled with blue and white structure.

"Is that.. the intruder?" One of the residents there whispered.

"He's still young... will he be punished?" Other residents whispered.

Naku just walked after the knight but then looked at the crowd of citizens.

He saw a beautiful girl who looked the same age as him walking behind the crowd of people, a girl with long beautiful silver white hair wearing all white clothes with white flower accessories in her hair, the girl's gaze then met his and he saw a pair of bright blue eyes as beautiful as the ocean. looked at him.

The girl looked at Naku before smiling and continuing her steps, making Naku confused and turned his gaze back to the front.
