Story

Mentoring Hoyoung

Farasi was a fish Anima who left her oceanic home in Grandis and traveled to Cheong-woon Valley, where she began working as a private investigator under Kaling, who served as the head of the Bureau. After Hoyoung began working as a private investigator to find the fiends that he had accidentally released, Kaling assigned him to Farasi, who immediately recognized him as a fellow Anima and told him that since he had been living in the mountains, he likely didn't know where the Anima stood in the world at large. She explained that the Anima usually lived in seclusion and hid their animal features when venturing abroad, adding that she herself was an Anima from the sea, and that she had carefully styled her hair to cover her Anima ears, though she admitted that she couldn't hide her blue hair or skin. She told him that hiding his ears and tail may help him avoid trouble, though she added that she couldn't force him to listen. With his new magic, Hoyoung invented a spell that would allow him to make his Anima features disappear and reappear at will.

Farasi then tasked him with investigating the town, as she was busy and Hoyoung needed to get familiar with the area. She told him that there had been an increase in reports of jars being shattered and told Hoyoung to look into it, and though she wondered why it even warranted an investigation, she directed him to defeat the Broken Sikhye Crocks for clues. Hoyoung found broken jar pieces on the monsters and brought them to Farasi. He told her that he had already examined them and had found animal feces on the pieces, and that, judging by the breakage of the jars, the culprit was fairly large, but the feces were abnormally small in proportion. Farasi decided that they could rule out monster involvement, jotting it down in the case files, and decided to move on to the next one. For his next assignment, Farasi gave him a case from a local farmer named Mr. Mark, who had reported that his fully-grown gourds were disappearing, with some even rolling away on their own. After investigating, Hoyoung returned with some of the gourds. He pointed out teeth marks that had likely come from an animal and explained that the gnaw patterns showed large incisors, likely belonging to rats. He theorized that the gourds moving around on their own were likely rats who had chewed their way inside. Farasi wondered if the rats had also been the ones who had broken the jars. Hoyoung believed that it warranted further investigation, to which Farasi told him that she had run across something similar in one of her previous cases, though she couldn't remember what it was. She then decided to take him out for lunch, though Hoyoung protested that she shouldn't be hungry when he had been the one doing all the work.

The Monster Rat

Over the next several months, Hoyoung continued to work with Farasi on small-time cases. During one of their lunches, Farasi asked him why he had decided to become an investigator. Hoyoung told her that he had always aspired to become like the sages in his stories who traveled the world and helped people. Farasi replied that she had once felt the same way. Hoyoung asked her what had changed, but Farasi replied that she would tell him some other time. She then told him that she had good news for him and explained that he had been given a new case, one which was actually serious and necessitated real detective work. After Hoyoung successfully solved the case, he spent the next several months taking on advanced cases involving the escaped fiends. Soon after, Hoyoung went to meet Farasi for lunch as usual. Farasi told Hoyoung that she was planning to retire after her current job, as she wanted to think about her future plans. Hoyoung agreed with her, claiming that he also didn't plan on staying an investigator forever. After lunch, Hoyoung left for his new case, promising Farasi that they would have a proper goodbye later. Farasi then began her final mission by investigating the Handsome Monk's temple, where she was kidnapped by several rats who had stolen the appearances of the temple trainees. Farasi was then brought before the Monster Rat, who presented her as a special guest during his speech, in which he revealed that he planned to use life-siphoning dolls that had been spread throughout the town to turn the residents into his puppets before using them to take over Grandis.

During this time, Hoyoung arrived to fight the Monster Rat and discovered that Farasi had been captured. After being defeated by the Monster Rat, Hoyoung fled the scene before resolving to leave Cheong-woon Valley, believing that nothing serious would happen to Farasi right away if the Monster Rat wished to enslave her. Though he initially wished to leave the Monster Rat to the private investigators, his guilt ultimately led him to returning and defeating the Monster Rat with the private investigators. With the Monster Rat's defeat, Hoyoung decided to leave town and search for the other fiends, though he resolved to say goodbye first. He went to the Information Broker Bureau in order to see Farasi, to whom he apologized for leaving her behind the first time that he had encountered the Monster Rat. Farasi accepted his apology, explaining that it had been a clever plan to pretend to flee and return when the Monster Rat least expected it. Hoyoung admitted that he had fled for real, surprising Farasi, who realized that Hoyoung really had planned on leaving her behind. However, she quickly forgave him and explained that she had been rescued by the other investigators, whom she had heard had all been hired by Hoyoung, and so she told him that even if it had been indirectly, it was thanks to him that she had been saved. Hoyoung then told her about his encounter with the real Handsome Monk and their plan to defeat the Monster Rat. He also told her that he was planning to leave town and then asked Farasi what her plan was once she stopped being an investigator. She told him that she was planning to go back to the sea, just as she had told him before, though she admitted that her dreams had fallen by the wayside long ago. At Hoyoung's sad face, she told him that just because a dream had fallen by the wayside, it didn't mean that one couldn't find it again. She explained that she was returning to the sea in order to pick up her old dreams, or to perhaps even find a new one. Hoyoung told her that he would miss their lunches together, but Farasi pointed out that he was leaving as well. Hoyoung realized that they were both packing up and moving on with their lives, but he hoped that they would meet again one day. He told her that even if they didn't run into each other, they could leave letters with the tavern keeper in order to tell each other how they were doing.

Black Heaven

Before the battle of Black Heaven, Hoyoung returned to Cheong-woon, feeling nostalgic for the town where he had first made a name for himself. There, he ordered a large bowl of rice soup before he committed himself to defending Maple World. He asked the tavern keeper if she had seen Farasi or if she had received any notes from her, but the tavern keeper told him that she hadn't. Hoyoung was dejected that their paths wouldn't cross that day, as it was difficult for him to visit frequently. Just then, Farasi arrived and greeted him. As they ate lunch together, they caught up, and Hoyoung learned that Farasi had been traveling the seas, looking for a new dream to spark her passion. After explaining that he was about to protect Maple World, Farasi warned him to be careful, though she laughed at Hoyoung's bravado. As he set off, he recalled how it was because of Farasi that he had learned the joys of helping others and hoped to eat lunch with her at the tavern again one day.
