As they entered the mansion, Logan was greeted by a few maids and butlers who were drawn by the commotion the boy behind him was making.
Logan did not like the way everyone was giving him a look as if he was the one responsible, so he waved them away.
"You know you can stop now, let's just relax for a little bit and see what we can do…to help you," Logan tried to calm the boy as he entered the guest room. It was just him and the Ruben, as the others were busy that day.
"Well then, tell who told you that your master was here and what does your master look like…" Logan said, as he stared at the boy who was seated on a sofa while wiping his eyes.
"Sorry, man, it's just that the old man treated like a son during my ti here. He reminds of my late grandfather," the boy said while wiping his face with his sleeve.
"Okay, just tell what I need to know. Let's get to it, the faster, the better…" Logan added, a little annoyed that it was going so slow.
Suddenly, the door opened, and he saw Rubina enter, which made Logan instantly smile.
"What happened, Logan? A maid called to help," Rubina said as she spotted the other boy in the room.
"Thanks for coming, Rubina. This is Ruben, a fellow hero. He needs help finding his master…" Logan began to explain the rest of the story.
"Well, I can have a few soldiers start checking the area," Rubina said while taking out her communication device.
"Thank you, miss. To think Logan had such a beautiful wife already, no wonder you decided to co here alone," Ruben said while trying to hold himself from hugging either Logan or Rubina.
"As for who told he was here, it was one of his assistants. He said I should co to the tar hero's place to find out more about my master. It's strange, the old man was with forging the day before. It's been a week since then, so I ca here in a rush…" Ruben said, wondering why his master would leave like that.
"Indeed, that is strange. For now, let's just try looking for him. We should find him in a few hours if he ca here on a visit or sothing like that." Rubina petted the boy's back as he was about to cry again.
"Well then, you should stay here for today. Look around, try to find sothing to do while they look for him," Logan said before asking the maids to help the worried boy.
"About that, I will go back to a certain inn to get my girlfriend. If possible, I will co back with her, and by then I hope you may have news. Anyways, I appreciate the help. See you later, Logan." Ruben walked out after waving and bowing toward both Logan and Rubina.
Logan watched as the door closed before sitting on his sofa. He leaned back and closed his eyes for a little bit to relieve his body from all the movent this day had brought.
He felt his sli, Kryst, fast at work helping him feel better using cure.
"Well, I did not expect your friend to show up. If I had known, I would have called earlier," Logan heard Rubina say as she sat on the cushion of the armrest.
He wondered why her voice was so close at first until he felt her head on his shoulder.
"Uhm, Rubina?" Logan mumbled as he slowly lifted his eyelids.
"Did you hear? I am your wife. How do you feel today, my husband? Did you finish training the kids?" he heard her say as she nudged his shoulder lightly.
"Yes… two evolutions today. It was a great day. We just need to wait a little more to know when we should raid the cave we found. It shouldn't take more than a few days by Valeria's words," Logan replied as he closed his eyes, trying to keep himself from breathing fast and maintain his heart under control.
"You know… it is getting hard finding ti to be alone with you these days. At least give this as a reward whenever possible. Who knows, I might even work harder to finish the paperwork you still have left to do," Rubina whispered into his ear.
"I know you're teasing , right Rubina? In other words, I should start on that paperwork…" Logan sighed as he remained still for so seconds.

"Say, Rubina, you know I tried changing a little after you told that I should not hide my face anymore… while at first I thought it was hard, I wonder if it's really alright…" Logan said while pulling a few strands back just to feel their protection again.
"Oh no you don't, you look fine without them, trust ," Rubina said while moving those strands back and tucking them behind his ear.
"If you say so…" Logan wanted to jump up now; he was getting past the point of controlling himself.
"I know, I know, I will stop teasing you," Rubina whispered one last ti next to his ear, making the boy shudder.
"Now let's go. I have to explain a few of the new roads that need to be built. Kai is working hard, so we should raise his pay. As for Chloe, she has gone out to settle a fight in a bar between rchants and adventurers. We need to work on setting a wage for protection from the teleport array to the city gates," Rubina said, guiding Logan while explaining more of what he needed to do his new town.
It was two hours before Ruben returned, and by then a few soldiers ca back with news that no one had spotted the person they were looking for.
"Well, you should stay the night here. We will continue the effort to find your master if he really is here…" Logan replied as he invited his two new guests for dinner.
"Thank you, Logan. I hope we find him soon…" Ruben said, feeling down but accepting the invitation to dinner.
