"Hohoho.. what is it? Good right?" Argo look at Zetta while the latter was indulging this scene.

But the latter annoyed by the former infinite mouthworks. He only looked at Argo and lightly asks "You're an half-elf right? No not that.. I'm not curious but why are you keep helping people even though you're still not a match of those bandits?"
Hearing him asks for the first time, Argo widely smile and put out a cup.

"The hell!? when did you get that!?" (Zetta)

"Hahaha, the moment you buy drinks, I hid it in case you want me to tell my story and here you are. As expected of my friend!! and friendship sometimes start with exchanging cups!" Argo said and pour an alcohol in his cup and raised it. Smiling on Zetta.

'Friend my ass!' Zetta's thought so but still couldn't resists to raised his cup.

"So you want me to tell if I was a half-elf, and yes I AM!" Argo said with vigor then gulp his drink to empty, he lightly stand up, and whisper "I was actually a descendant of Hero, would you believe that?" and slowly sitting down.

'Freak! Descendant my ass!' Zetta thought so, after that, Argo started his story. About why he's here in God forsaken place and not in an elf kingdom, and about his mother who just die a few years ago, and his tribe who hid themselves who knows since when.

Argo at the same time, pull out a book with red colored cover and gave them to Zetta. "Thats my memento and an important item for me after this scarf" he pointed his red scarf that was covering his head and ear. "Yet, you let me borrowed one of them" Zetta silently remarks.

"Of course! Friendship starts by trusting each other! I regarded you as my friend the moment our eyes met!" Argo widely grin, and Zetta commented from the sideline, calling him 'Naive' whilst Argo replied with smile

"You're not the only one who said it!" He said.

An hour after, as Argo accompanied where Zetta always went, he have the elf unanimously become his tour guide for the meantime. And before they arrive to designated. . .Argo pulled him towards the abandoned-looking building, and there, an orphanage consists of half-elf childrens resides. They're poor just by noticing their clothes and malnourished thin skin, but then Zetta said, "Did your elf kingdom know your condition here"

"No.. I mean, I don't care. I'll take care of them as long as they are here" seeing his flaming green eyes, Zetta smiled

'A kindhearted naive and very transparent' he said inwardly.

"Then.. what is your goal?" Zetta's questioned hit him and grip off his red scarf.

"I... wanted to be a Hero.. a man that can made all girls heart pound and smile heartly. No. I can't do that right now, I have something to protect first. I have to grab ahold those whom I can hold, save whom I can save. Like a Hero" Argo form a fists. and on the spot, an idea came from Zetta's mouth:

"Have the children go to your elf-kingdom. Even if they don't want to, beat them to death if you have to. Dethrone their king if you have to. Not only you help the children, you also helped yourself."

An hour later and the two went out of the Orphan and Argo is still thinking as his thought cannot be reach.

"I want... my friend.. my brother.. I want to accompanied you! Brother where is your destination? I know that isn't here.. I want to go where you go. My gut feel is telling me, sticking with my soul brother will have me reach my goal!"

"Soul brother? Very funny.."

"Is it? Haha.." For some reason, Argo called Zetta as his sould brother instead of a friend.

And so Zetta finish his work here, at the City of declining Lucrios. what he did is to find a Gods so he can differentiate them to Gods at the Orario when he came.

Sadly, Argo also said that God didn't exist in this god forsaken city. 2 days after, and he was departed, along with Orango Booze he bought.

Argo then decided accompanied the orphaned half-elf went with him at Elf-Kingdom and settle things with them.

Zetta's presence give him confidence to create a decision such as this. After all, his main goal didn't change. He couldn't help but admired Zetta from the bottom of his heart, making him decide what ponders him for a long time.

And even if it takes ages, he also wanted go to Orario and join where Zetta Familia is. That is his oath as they separates.

Sadly, joining with Zetta's future Familia is an impossible feat. Well. Fate Sometimes, decides someone's Future.

And so they parted that same day. And until they met again in the near future. . .as an enemy.
