And now all of us are getting kicked out from the challenge dungeon, back into Estel. The other teams have these looks that says "what just happened? Why are we getting kicked out so fast" while those who are watching us through the watcher can only make a face palm as. From the previous pattern, I can assume what they're going to said next, "please, don't break our common sense anymore". Well, too bad

"Hahaha! We win!" [Savel]

"Of course we would win, we are mostly men!" [Zerolith]

"True" [Karon]

"What was that!" [Mara]

"Plus, aren't you two a boy!" [Farhah]

"Ahh... the sweet sound of victory" [Ash]

"Ash, don't be so childish" [Diana]

"But a win is still a win, so congrats" [Khamishah]

"Hehehe... thank you" [Singa]

~ Twin Bow~

"Still, just how come you guys be so fast?" [Rean]

"And which passage did you use?" [Kara]

"""""Hehe...""""" [Ash, Zerolith, Karon, Singa, Savel]

"Sigh... you can talk later. Mind giving me the Yuki-ona magic core?" [Diana]

"Huh, sure" [Ash]

"!?" [Others]

Why are they reacting like that? What is so surprising about me giving Diana a magic core

"Alright, tell me honestly, what are you planning?" [Diana]

"For the usually stingy Ash when it comes to a high grade magic core, you're awfully generous" [Female elf adventure]

I see... well, I get the "empty treasure chest", so of course the best things to come out from the final boss fight would be the Yuki-ona magic core, so me generously giving Diana (who have been asking me for a magic core non stop) is without a doubt, a shocking thing to do.

"No reason, consider this as an exchange for the fences that you gave us" [Ash]

"If you said so" (Suspicious) [Diana]

Well, hope she doesn't get suspicious of it. Not that it matters, the "empty treasure chest" will be her birthday present anyway, just the surprise elements won't be there

"We are back..." [Lisa]

"You're in an awfully bad mood" [Naoto]

"Not enough data" [Lisa]

"We didn't even start the investigation yet" [Alice]

"And suddenly the challenge dungeon kick us out" [Qis]

"Only get to confirm, no portal stone involved" [Lisa]

"That's because we speed run the dungeon in record time!" [Savel]

"As fast as lightning! We are the best" [Singa]

"Agree, unlike a certain girl" [Zerolith]

""Grr..."" [Mara, Farhah]

"SAY WHAT!" [Lisa]

Oh boy, the scholar is getting angry because her research isn't complete because of us. All of them quickly hide behind me. Well, you're not in luck, even I don't know what we are supposed to do to calm her anger down

"Anyway, it's an anticlimactic dungeon, but I had some fun exploring around the dungeon with your siblings" [Aries]

"Same here, Sis Aries is strong! Can we go with you next time as well?" [Charlotte]

"Unfortunately..." [Aries]

"She have to go back to her work, so she can't play with you..." [Lisa]

"That's bad..." [Charlotte]

"It's fun but work comes first" [Kara]

"..." [Aries]

Sigh... it couldn't be more obvious, that frowning of yours

"Say, why don't you come to the Demon kingdom?" [Aries]

"!?" [Other]

"Sis!" [Lisa]

"I mean, when they have the time and money of course" [Aries]

"Can we?" [Mara]

"Sure! I would love to" [Aries]

(She's awfully excited about this) [Khamishah]

"Sigh... In the meantime, maybe not" [Ash]

"!" [Other]

"..." [Aries]

"But, why don't you come during the princess birthday here" [Ash]

"That's right! I'll invite you and the Demon king, Druser, as well as some of the official from there, you should totally come" [Diana]

(Plus, this is still a secret, we are having it in the orphanage, so you can see them once more) [Ash]

She looks happy when I tell her that

"Of course, I will clear my schedule just to attend it. And should I send your invitation to the Beastman Kingdom as well?" [Aries]

"That would be great!" [Diana]

So The Demon kingdom and the Beastman Kingdom official will come visit the orphanage. That mean there are possibilities that The Demon King, Druser and The Beast King, Leogris will be here as well. Way to not give me any pressure. Way to go

"Did you hear that!"

"King Druser and The Beast King Leogris might come for the Princess Debutante party!"

"That's insane"

"As expected of the princess!"

"Haha, guess our strong support for the princess aren't for nothing"

So that's why she openly says that. Well, the rumour she created will have a huge impact, whether it will be a positive or a negative one, it's up to her to control, but others especially her two brothers can use the same weapon as well. But, this is Diana I am talking about, she must have planned it in advance

(Do you wanted to go and visit the orphanage?) [Lisa]

(No... I'm afraid it will be bad for my heart, I might get reluctant to leave them...) [Aries]

(I see... sorry) [Lisa]

(For not telling me? It's alright) [Aries]

"Hey Kids, why don't we take a photo together?" [Ash]

"Sound good" [Elise]

"Ok, for starter, Aries, Lisa, Kara and Mara, you go first" [Ash]

""!!"" [Aries, Lisa]

""Ok"" [Kara, Mara]

(It's so obvious what he is thinking about right now) [Ram]

(Well, a glance and you could tell something really is going on between them. I hope it isn't spread as a false rumour though) [Khamishah]

(Agree, they might get targeted should someone had a grudge with Mrs Aries here) [Samurai Jacks]

Huh, as expected, they also thought something going on between the four of them. Khamishah and Jacks are right though, hope, it doesn't spread as a rumour.

~Snap~

"Here you go, and Bobunny, can you make a necklace for Aries here" [Ash]

~Chuckling~

"What for?" [Aries]

"You'll see" [Ash]

Made out of pure gold, the necklace is exactly how I envision it. Cutting the photo to become smaller, I attach the photo inside the necklace and ask Aries to wear it

"With this, you can always see them" [Ash]

"Thank you. To think it really shows in my face" [Aries]

"It's really obvious, though the kid still haven't caught it yet. Well, it's just a speculation from our parts but once you've ready, please tell us about it, especially to the two of them" [Ash]

"I will, and take care of them, all of them" [Aries]

"Yes I will" [Ash]

And we have a photo session together. Needless to say, most of them ask Bobunny to make a personalised necklace for them and put their favourite photos inside. As for me, well, I put it all inside my personal album.

With that, Diana, Khamishah, Naoto and Aries went to the castle. Khamishah, Aries and Naoto then continue their journey
