A skinny guy seemed to observe the four people who were talking about his body. The young man could see the look on the girl who was often bullied at the orphanage was holding back tears. Even her eyes looked teary. Meanwhile, the three friends who used to hang out with him seemed to want to scold his new friend.
“Hey, why are you guys fighting? I am here!” He tried to scream, but no one was listening. In fact, no one turned to the grey-eyed man.
“What is this? Why am I even like this now? I have to enter my body again, so they will not fight anymore,” muttered Aiden, confused.
That guy, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, studied the faces of the four people who were still gathered there with an indescribable look. Aiden started walking, then circled them while touching his friends’ hair or shoulders. He hoped that this touch; it would make one of the four people realize and then turn to look at him. However, all that dreaming was in vain because nothing happened as desired.
“How do I tell them that I am here? They did not hear me at all,” said Aiden, almost in despair.
“Aiden.”
The owner of the name suddenly looked around, because he had heard someone had called his name. Aiden frowned because he had not found the caller yet. It was quiet there because there was no one else to talk to, except for the strange voice that suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
“Hello? Who is that?” asked Aiden, who was still trying to find the source of the sound.
“Aiden.”
That voice sounded again, making the twelve-year-old teenager both annoyed and curious. He had done the same thing, namely, looking for the whereabouts of the summoner, but all these efforts were also fruitless. “Who is it? I cannot see you.”
Just as Aiden turned his head to the left, suddenly a woman who had three faces, three bodies, three pairs of hands and feet was already there. Their faces were so close that the boy became very surprised and then took a few steps back. Meanwhile, that strange figure observed the male mortal’s actions without saying a word.
“Who… who are you?” asked Aiden, stammering a little.
Without further ado, a young man remembered why he could faint. Meanwhile, the strange woman had not answered Aiden’s question yet. He continued to observe with a look that was difficult to interpret, and his face looked unfriendly, which caused the man’s guts to shrink. He immediately looked for a way to get into his body and avoid that scary woman as soon as possible.
“You are part of My people. I can sense it. Why do you even live among ordinary humans?” The lips in the middle of the body began to open and gave a question to the grey-eyed boy.
“Pardon? I do not understand what you mean.”
Aiden looked confused because he had not yet understood the meaning of the question asked by the other person. Instead, A woman with a sinister appearance flew towards the young man, which caused the young guy to back away, intending to avoid her.
“You are a witch. You are a mixed-blood witch. Why do not you leave the orphanage?” That weird woman asked again.
Now a woman with an expressionless look was in front of Aiden, with a body floating in the air. The handsome guy was even more confused because this was the first time he had met that weird woman, but she had bombarded him with various questions.
“A witch? No, I am not. I am a human being. Maybe you misunderstood people.” Aiden replied with the last bit of courage he had.
Yes, that woman – whether she was a ghost, a forest elf, or whatever, must have misidentified someone. How could I know about my parents if, since childhood, they have been throwing me, their own son, into an orphanage? They might hate me, or for some other reason, so they did not want me as their son, thought Aiden. That male teenager, as soon as possible, became annoyed when he remembered about his parents who had abandoned him and even dumped him there.
“You have to go back to where you came from, Aiden. Your place differs from the mortals.”
“What do you-”
Before Aiden finished speaking, a woman with a gripping aura had already cut his words. “You must return to the place where My people live. As long as you live there, please take care of Alexa for Me.”
Aiden was stunned when he heard someone’s name called. “What? Alexa? What do I have to do with that girl?”
That strange woman did not answer. Her right hand in the middle of her body was raised towards Aiden. The introverted young man was surprised because his body floated as if he had no burden. He was afraid that a strange woman would take him elsewhere so that his spirit would never enter his body anymore.
“Argh! What are you doing?”
A woman with three faces, three pairs of hands, and feet again refused to answer. She swung her hand towards the body of a young man who was still lying on the ground. Aiden could only scream because he could not fight back at all. Even to turn his head, he could not do it. His body was like being sucked into a hurricane, and then all went black.
“You must help My Messenger, for she will be the liberator for the witches.”

“Look! His hand is starting to move!” exclaimed a red-haired man.
He almost cried because he felt so happy. When he saw his roommate, he seemed to show signs of being conscious. The three young girls who were there also looked very grateful. Even a young girl started to shed tears because she was holding back the emotion that had welled up in her chest.
“O Goddess Asiles, thank you for helping us!” said a young lady with long hair and black color, like the darkness of the night. She rubbed the corners of her eyes with her hands while her elder twin sisters embraced her shoulders as if they understood what the girl was feeling.
Aiden’s fingers began to move, and the moment did not escape the observations of the four teenagers who were there. A hazel-eyed girl also felt the same emotion. His eyes welled up with tears as he watched the silver-haired man start to wake up.
Thank You, Goddess, for making my new friend wake up from his stupor. I do not know what caused it to be like that, but now it is all over. I hope Aiden is okay and there are no complaints so that we all, especially me, do not get into trouble with Madame Aufrodine and Madame Loiston, hoped the daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira.
Samuel turned his attention and then began to take a bag that was located not far from there. After obtaining that object, he opened it and then took something. The young man, who had a lot of freckles on his face, started to drink to Aiden, who still did not say anything and looked weak.
“You must drink now, Aiden.” Samuel also helped his close friend to drink.
That grey-eyed youth began to drink the water that was given to him. The atmosphere was quiet again because all attention was on Aiden’s man. After feeling enough, a poor male teenager who had just experienced an unpleasant incident turned to Alexa. He stared at the girl with an icy gaze, which made the beautiful confused. The other three teenagers also looked surprised because they rarely saw this.
“Who are you, Alexa? Are you-”
