Since he had already given the Heaven's Feather to Fluder, Jack left the gathering of the awards to the rest of Foresight while he headed back to the manor.

With his beloved Arche in his arms, Jack transversed through the city streets of Arwintar. Her knees draped over his right arm and his left arm supporting her back and head. He smiled watching her sleep.

He chose to walk, because teleportation wasn't as time consuming, and the moment they were home it was unlikely they'd be alone. Not that they were alone now. Aura and Mare were both walking on either side of him, using magic to remain unseen by those around them.

The familiar sounds echoed in her ears. She flexed her eyelids as she curled up a bit in his arms. Her hands grasping at his chest. "Mmm..." Letting out a soft groan without opening her mouth, Arche didn't wake up at all. It was likely the sounds were making her head hurt, or were simply disturbing her dreams.

Jack simply remained smiling as if he were watching a baby toss and turn, before coming to a stop. Over his shoulder he could sense someone watching. A shady fella in a hood and leather outfit.

He was pretty sure he was some sort of goon. He had been following them for a while now, he and the twins had already noticed him for some time.

"He's still there..." Jack muttered quietly to himself, before looking to the sky above them.

"Who do you think he is, Jack-oniisama?" Aura she glared over her shoulder towards the man who seemed to be stalking the supreme being. "He should know his place."

Mare didn't say much at all, but his eyes were tracing over the stranger as he had one hand pinching onto Jack's pant leg. Being separated didn't feel like a good idea, spite the fact that both of the elves could use their powers to escape or return to Nazarick.

With his passive character appraisal at work, he was quickly able to figure out that the person who had been following them, was indeed somehow related to the Furt family crisis.

The money lender who had been collecting money in order to pay off the evergrowing debt.

"Aura, hold onto your big brother, would you?" Jack made a simple comment playfully, though that was just covering up for the disappointment of his walk being cut relatively short.

Vanishing from sight, Jack teleported from where he was once visible.

The man who was watching, was stunned at this, the sudden disappearance of the Girl who was paying off her parent's debt up until yesterday was gone. "What the hell...?" Stepping out into the street, he looked around, and saw no one. Even as he looked towards the roof tops, there was no one.

"The bitch left her parents... She better still be paying or we'll find her and take her sisters as compensation..." The man grumbled, "And a piece of her heaven too," snorting at the idea of getting his hands on the young lass he went to turn and walk back into the alley.

Jack resurfaced in the foyer of the home, glancing towards the closed door of the front. A slight frown across his lips as danger still lurked in the city after eliminating the fools who had taken up residence in this house.

Now there were the loan sharks he had to deal with. Not that it was really a problem, the only thing he couldn't do was wipe out everyone in the city.

While it was something he had the power to do, it wasn't recommended. He already destroyed one City, just because they were targeting a single man and killed countless villagers in the Re-Estize Kingdom alone to draw him out into the open. Then proceeded to kill at least four more before he arrived in Carne.
