It's rather late at night after we reunited with Lara and Nara. Tending to their wounds, Karon keep driving the camper van golem and after traversing the holy dungeon as quickly as we could, the new headquarters gate are in sight

"We have arrived" [Karon]

Taking a step out, the guards couldn't help but to fixated their sight on

"Saintess Rumia..."

"She's back!"

"Everyone! Saintess Rumia is finally back!"

"Good to see all of you are in a good shape" [Rumia]

"SAINTESS RUMIA!!!"

Understandable. Well, that didn't prevent them from doing their job of checking us and other people that wanted to enter the country

Since this is the first time I visit the new headquarters, I can say one thing, and only one thing. This place, it's simply gorgeous. The white marble of the building, couple with the unique silvery pavement of the smooth street. With the people here always smiling. It's rustling with activities, and even more so

"It's Saintess Rumia!"

"She comes back! After six years, she finally came back!"

"It's been so long after we last saw her, and she looks just as healthy as before"

"Thank goodness. O Goddess, please keep on protecting her"

"And you too as well" [Rumia]

The word that Saintess Rumia finally touch her foot back here spread like wildfire. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the whole country looking forward to meet her. Of course, with such a large crowd, you would think that thing will go out of control, even more so when Saintess Rumia here is a kind and friendly, but no. The citizen actually organized themselves without any instructions, lining up perfectly as to let our camper van golem pass. We drive rather slowly as to let Saintess Rumia speaks with her citizen. Looking at it, we could tell that they genuinely care about her, and Saintess Rumia reciprocates that feeling as well

Apart from her, who would have guess that

"So they're the ten heroes"

"They're rather young, but I could tell they're stronger than we ever could have imagined"

"And isn't that the Demon Priest of the Demon kingdom, Zerolith? From the look of it, he carries himself rather perfectly"

"Saintess Rumia do taught him personally before sending him out, so the fruit fall near from the tree"

"And that behemoth, that's the rumoured Empress Behemoth that the ten heroes have"

"It's a shame that Saint Louis and The Guardian of children are there no more"

"They're watching them from heaven. Let us continue to support them"

I'm sorry... The truth is, those two are still alive... Saint Louis specifically requested his "death" to be announced so that he could work behind the scene to help us all. As for Brother Ash, I swear we will save him from the fallen god clutch

As we drive to the castle where the administrative offices are located, I just noticed something. First, the number of human and non human are rather equal just like our neighborhood area and Malsia. I heard that there is not a single non human in the Holy Palace where the majority of the avid old follower resides, but here, it's the opposite. Plus, while I do saw wandering traveler giants during my travel, this might actually be the very first time I ever see them inside a country. I guess they're the one that Lara and Nara help. Plus, I could also see a group of vampires as well

After entering the dungeon, we are greeted by some of a familiar faces (and Birdie of course), just that

"ALICIA!" [Alaric]

"Brother... You're hugging me... TOO TIGHTLY!" [Alicia]

"Nonsense! Plus, this much is normal. I thought, I thought you're dead..." [Alaric]

"Brother..." [Alicia]

"Mind if I join hugging your little sister, Alari..." [Seraph]

"STAY AWAY" [Alaric]

I would never have guess that the hidden vampire guards of Sis Diana can react rather... Over protectively to her little sister. I always have thought of him as a cooler edgier vampire version of Rean. Guess life never cease to surprise me. Seeing him trying to pin Seraph down to the ground for trying to hit his little sister is again, something that I would never have guess coming from him. Not that I am one to speak of when

~Happy humming~

When I actually hold Lara hands all this while. She didn't even bother about it, instead keep on humming her favourite song out of pure blissfulness of reuniting with us. I guess I couldn't blame Mr Vampire guard for his reaction. Seeing Lara and Nara alive, I couldn't help but to hold her hand, maybe because I don't want them to gone missing once again. So Mr vampire guard there must feel the same. But...

"Seraph, please stop..." [Linda]

"You're putting him in a rather... Difficult situation" [Seo Ah]

"But!" [Seraph]

"I'LL Assassinate you if you ever thought of dirty thing involving her" [Alaric]

"Brother! Seraph is..." [Alicia]

"It's for your own good Alicia" [Alaric]

"Damn, that vampire really is overly protective" [Kanji]

I can't help but to compare myself to Mr Vampire Guard right no. Maybe I should stop holding Lara hand

"Don't worry. It isn't bothering me one bit" [Lara]

"Lara..." [Charlotte]

I'm sorry for trying to do something unforgivable! I will never let go of your hand!

~Soft screech~

"Meow" [Behe]

"Yes we are safe Birdie!" [Singa]

"You must be worry about us" [Savel]

"Isn't that obvious" [Kara]

"Not only them though" [Mara]

"I see that all of you are doing rather fine" [Samurai Jacks]

"It's a relief to see all of you here" [Kana]

"Likewise, we are glad to see all of you are doing fine" [Rean]

We also were greeted by the higher up of both the administration and the religious organizations here, where they brought us to one of the meeting room, and inside

"They finally arrive" [Gilbert]

"I'm glad all of you are safe" [Saint Louis]

Saint Louis and the S rank adventure guild master already waiting for us, with something on the table
