Most of Deco Parade loitered around, while some with sentience sight-see and indulged in food and drink. After a few days, they head over to the drawven country, Hukor Mountains. Give them two options: surrender or fight?

Then they planned to head over to Vita Empire. With an extra mission to destroy the holy city and demolish the churches of life.

Kei was hanging with his female companions in the dining room for lunch. Most of the elves' diet were a variety of fruits and soup. It leaves the meaty of eaters less satisfied.

"So, we're not having a vacation here no more?" Asked Polin.

"There's a better place to have vacation than this place. This one has beaches and natural hot springs. The Islands of Kitar should be our next vacation spot."

Jacklin jumped up in excitement! "I always wanted to go there! But it was sooo expensive to reach there!"

"The weather of the main island is always tropical while the four other islands were different. I heard one of the smaller islands is constantly winter. That should be where the fox girl resides from."

Then Polin jumped in excitement: "I wanna see Kirin again!"

Kei saw the excitement on their faces, except for Vetros. Her face was expressionless most of the time and goes with the flow.

With the help witches and valkyries, their transportation was less of an obstacle. After several days with breaks and over the sea, they saw white, sandy beaches.

They landed on the beach.

Kei and crew looked around and yep, it's the beach. But... they didn't own any swimsuits nor had a place to stay.

Kei flew in the air and searched the area, and there's a town a few miles down south.

The group began walking while taking off their thicker clothings such as sweaters and long sleeve shirts. They dressed something more appropriately.

Kei summoned smaller golems to be their pack mule for the trip.

Once the group arrived at the town, they were unexpectedly surprised. The town was a wreck, burned down homes, shattered windows, and few rotten bodies.

"Oh yeah... This country and Cloq Dukedom had a war. I wondered how that ended?" Kei said after witnessing the state of the town.

The group wondered around to see any place to rest. They walked through street after street and they were people of many ages in dirty clothes and were skinny. They ignored the townspeople as best as possible.

The group then found a empty, battered restaurant. Kei clapped his hands and said: "Let's have some lunch."

Kei was thankful that the kitchen was still able to maintain itself. He began playing around with the stove and searched kitchen wares.

The others tried to find a table that wasn't broken and picked up any usuable chairs. In a short amount of time, they setup a nice table to eat and the food was done. Grilled meat and vegetables, fried fish, and potato salad to be served.

The smell of food attracted unwanted attention. There was even a naked beastman with a worn-out sword. Luckily, the golems were just enough to intimidate him.

Kei only told the golems to stay on guard at the door, but a small child climbed over a broken window. Which resulted in cuts the child's arms and feet. The child ignored it and continue sniffing the air like a dog. Actually, this little beastman had those big floppy dog ears. She slowly followed the scent with her eyes closed and then bumped into someone.

That someone was Kei.

The little beastman finally opened her eyes and saw of a group of strangers she never seen before. She didn't know who they were and only stared at the food on the table.

"She's so cute!" Polin declared. Well, the child was only 3ft tall, wounds on her limbs, and wearing an oversize shirt. But she had a cute face, ears, and tail.

"Feed her?" Vetros questioned. Kei thought for a bit and didn't see why not. Kei then made a seperate plate of different food from the table and handed over to the little girl. She snatched the plate and ran towards a corner and began munching on her food with her bare hands.

"Can we keep her?" Polin asked. Polin received a karate chop on the head by Jacklin.

"She's not a pet." Jacklin also wanted to help the girl out aside from giving her food. But, would she also feed the whole town? No. Jacklin set her eyes on the little girl with pity. I really can't do much. Unless Kei decided to help but I doubt it. You can only live with your misfortunes and take what you can.

The group decided to sleep outdoors, away from the town. Sleeping bags, tents, and a campfire was all set. Dinner was served.

But the smell, once again attracted unwanted attention.
