NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18: Undercurrent.......
Shakti's POV-
After getting news of a new adventurer bringing a monster on surface from the guild, I rush to the spot where the said adventurer was kept with some of my petrol members, guild staff Rose as she is the adhortative figure of guild and the guard leading us.
On the way I got to know that, monster is said to be tamed and that adventurer or tamer was bringing it to the guild for registration but stopped there at the Entrance Hall.
After reaching the Entrance Hall, the sight there was quite surprising to say the least. Both the tamer and monster were just siting there. Most surprising thing was that, the monster was completely free with nothing binding it but still it was so calmly siting there I never thought was possible. It wasn't even bordered by all those gazes directed to it.
We then approach them with Rose start explaining the protocol and introducing me not showing any hint of initial surprise under the strict procreational face of her the same goes for me as well.
"Sir can you follow us, it won't take much time depending on how it goes." I said in a serious tone as it can be dangerous if not taken seriously and we start following Rose to a secluded room in Babel.
Although taking monsters in city should be prohibited but we ourselves do that. As well as this can be a opportunity to show the city that monsters (AKA xenos) and we can coexist, by looking how well behaved the monster is but nether the less it's very weird as well almost suspicious if it's even a monster.
(A/N- Ganesha Familia already know of them, well only high ranking ones at least.)
After reaching I start conducting the test for reassurance if it was fully in control or not. He display his control on it by giving it a dagger to do some tricks and even spar with it in a controlled manner like it was some kind of puppet with him being the puppet master. It was truly a marvelous sight to see far better than our taming performance, to which I let one or two praise slip pass.
After I was satisfied I gave a nod to Rose and she completed the tamer permit with all the conditions and rules he will need to follow, if he want to keep the monster around. And left the real paper work till she go back to Guild.
When he was leaving, he showed yet another trick which was to call the monster in his shadow so no one notice there is a monster with them and ensure no panic is caused. Although we were experienced in our jobs, still we can't help but to show the surprised expression slip past from under our serious faces.
After he left we also reach to our respective posts. But first to the Familia house for reporting this to Ganesha Sama.

Familia House.....
"I AM GANESHAAA, so you are saying that tamed monster was actually a Xenos." said God Ganesha in his usual loud voice.
"No Lord Ganesha, I am just suspecting it. That monster just look too calm and understanding to be just a tamed monster. And its not like I ever have saw a xenos myself to get a bases for compression except for your words." I said clarifying my reasoning to him. Although gods can see through a mortal if he is lying or not but they can't see through the meaning and intention behind the words.
"I SEE, keep an eye on that monster and him as well as check through his records and see if you can find anything. Orario's safety IS OUR TOP PERIORITY." like always he shouted the first and last line to emphasize it but a bit serious this time.
"It shall be done. Anything else Lord Ganesha?" I asked. Even if he look or act silly most of the time but when it comes to serious things he knows how to handle things. Its one of the reasons why Ouranos keeper of dungeon and head of guild trust Ganesha more with important things and secrets rather than Freya or Loki.
"NO, that shall be all for now. Keep up the good work. I will also be going to see if I can have some words with Ouranos regarding this." he said sending me back with words of encouragement.

Reader's POV-
Some where in a silent and dim lit room with few torches.
"Fels keep an eye on this new adventurer call Rain and keep your distance from him. 'She' has sensed the true spirit following him as well as him being a half-spirit similar to Ais and can send those monster-human creatures behind him. As for that xenos let him be for now. Inform this to Ganesha Familia as well." said a lonely old god sitting on a throne of plane stone in the middle of the room to a robed figure.
"As you say Lord Ouranos, but are you sure you don't want to take any action as of now." said the robed figure.
"No just keep a watch from a far. He possess destructive weapons that should not be in the mortal realm as well as that spirit, so he is out of harms way for now. Till he is too foolish for his own good. In that case we can't do anything. Also tell xenos we might have find a way for them to walk on surface." the lone god replied, understanding they don't have enough information required to take action.
The existence of a long lost race 'spirits' truly changes many things and can bring disturbance to the delicate balance of power and resource which was currently holding on. At least for now...
"I understand and It shall be done my lord." saying that the hooded figure disappear in the shadowy hidden path to outside world leaving the lone god in the silent room in the solitude and comfort of darkness again.
While somewhere else our MC was having a peaceful lunch with a true spirit and a intelligent monster unknown to the chaos brewing in the background.
