Death pushed the red button on the item.

They are in an empty Sabana with a dark sky, the wind brushed their figures as their hair flowed beautifully. The two of them are waiting for their helper to come.

'Just saying what she is called, a Timekeeper. She must be an important figure.'

Cale thought his eyes secretly peeking at death who is fidgeting with the item.

"Death."

"What?"

"What are her powers unless controlling time?"

"... Hm, maybe it's fine if I tell you."

Death pondered for a while before nodding.

"Well, she can jump into dimensions, can meet with their parallel or someone's parallel self, hmm."

Death stopped and said.

"That's all that I can tell you."

"She must be very powerful then? Is she a divine?"

"No, she's a human."

Psssssss.......

A portal appeared a few meters in front of them.
Both of them went tense and stood uprightly.

Step.

A figure came out from the portal.

"Creation, I told you——ah?"

A girl in her teens, an earring is dangling on her left ear and her expression is beyond confusion.
She stopped after seeing two figures that are staring at her cautiously.

The Timekeeper blinked a few times before sighing.

"What business do you want from me, Death?"

"Timekeeper, we would like to cross the ■■"

The Timekeeper's face went dark.

"How brave you are to say that word."

She took a few steps and said.

"Is there any agreement with the Divines?"

Death took out a paper, Cale saw it and slightly rolled his eyes.

"I have it right here, can we cross it now?"

The paper then was taken by the Timekeeper, she looked at the paper intently before saying weirdly.

"Time, is this fake?"

Rumble.

The ground faintly shook.

The timekeeper said calmly.

"This is a fake agreement, Death."

Rip.

She ripped the paper and threw it without any hesitation, then looked at them once again with coldness. Cale thought that this girl is brave enough to even do that towards a Divine. He secretly cheered for this Timekeeper's braveness.

"This could cause a serious problem for you and the other Divines, have you thought twice?"

"Yes I have, but still."

Death let out a faint smile and said towards her.

"You still have your debt towards him, am I wrong?"

Clench.

The Timekeeper's palm is clenched tightly.

"... We do not talk about the past."
