[At Kiserre's Orphanage]

It's been 4 days since we defeated Simba and his True Beastman group, and letting Saint Louis and Mr Seraph examine the lifeless body of Singa's mother (inside an empty room far away from other orphans that is), but, even they themselves aren't sure what's happening

"So, anything you would like to share?" [Singa]

"There have been instances that a corpse somehow getting preserve even after hundred of years have passed, but I don't think this is the case here" [Saint Louis]

"True. If anything, shouldn't Linda, Lara and Nara be an expert in this matter? Linda is literally a minion of God of Death and as for the both of you, just like Ash, you received God of Death blessing as well" [Seraph]

"I'm sorry. I might be a minion, but even I know so little about God of Death, much less this type of thing" [Linda]

""Same..."" [Lara, Nara]

That's on one side (or should I say one room), and on another side

"So let me get this straight... You used Karon's puppet magic on Bobunny. Bobunny in turn replicate the puppet magic and use it in each of it clone, granting them collective thought on how to best approach the situation to defeat Simba and the Holy Beast of Fire?" [Kanji]

"True. That's what I have been telling you for god knows how many times!" [Mara]

"And how did he get away again?" [Kanji]

"For god sake... Let just said he launch a suicidal attack before leaping into a portal stone" [Mara]

"Still, that's actually a genius strategy you guys had. I can tell that this sort of magic can tremendously improve the field of science and magic" [Kana]

"Which is why Karon and I start studying the mechanism of it. Karon is an engineer, and as a school teacher, I would like to teach my students this sort of thing to further improve their education" [Kara]

And in other different side

"To think that they could push two S rank adventure and Mrs Saga herself like this... Truly, a terrifying opponent" [Samurai Jacks]

"Plus, the first prince of Kiserre is gone... I imagine they are expecting most of the army and adventure helping the heroes, thus leaving the country on it own" [Alaric]

"Do you have any idea on who might do that?" [Seo Ah]

"We are not sure, but we strongly suspect the meddling third party involve. Who knows, it could be the serial killer dwarf itself" [Khamishah]

(Queen Rinz did mentioned she used my Sea Serpent Project as a guide... This means that there are still some technical aspects left for me to look into before finally realizing this project...) [Charlotte]

"I am thinking of the same thing as well. First prince of Estel also has some connection with the meddling third party, so if we drew a parallel, it wouldn't be a stretch to get the prince of Kiserre support as well" [Rean]

"It will bring nothing but disaster should he suddenly decided to take the throne for himself..." [Kucin]

"All Queen Rinz hard work will be nothing but a naught should that really happen" [Anjin]

And finally

"You're so cool!"

"Avery Farhah! Avery Farhah!"

"Hehehehe, feast your eyes upon this majestic Avery" [Farhah]

"And her cute side kick" [Calypso]

"Meow!" [Behe]

"I thought you are reluctant to become Avery before this..." [Zerolith]

"And now look at her, boasting her status" [Savel]

"What was that? I couldn't hear you over all of these praises!" [Farhah]

""..."" [Zerolith, Savel]

"Still, where are the Fairy Queen and Shielding Ant Aries?"

"Yeah! We wanted to meet them as well!"

"They're currently helping to restore back the Forest dungeon. There's nothing much left for us to do, so they tell us just to go ahead first for Rean's and Mr Samurai Jacks weddings" [Karon]

Which bring us to

"Hey! Don't touch the wedding gifts!" [Elise]

"Kids, those things are expensive. If you broke it, you will have to pay Sis Elise back for it" [Black cat lady]

"When we grow up, we will pay it back!"

"That wasn't my point..." [Black cat lady]

"Sis Charlotte, your gifts?" [Miriam]

"Well, it's this one" [Charlotte]

Since I am all out of ideas on what to give Rean and Muse, Mr Jacks and Principal Alice their wedding gifts, I just bought them some daily stuff that they will most likely use for their new houses. I really couldn't think of anything, so really, it's like I am just paying the stuffs that were suggested to me. I just hope this is good enough for them. I really don't have a single clue as to what I should buy actually

"So Rean is getting married, when is your turn Elise?" [Black cat lady]

"I... I... I... I..." [Elise]

"You too Seo Ah. Heck, even the entrance guards try to flirt with you after they recognise you" [Kanji]

"DON'T SAY THAT!" [Seo Ah]

"Scandalous..." [Charlotte]

And thus, we start teasing Elise and Seo Ah as the next in line to get married

[Inside the Ice Dungeon]

[Mahsuri point of view]

"All that's left is Hell Tiger Har and Angkasa blessing, and those ten kids will be ready" [Mahsuri]

"Do you really think they are ready to face againts the fallen god?" [Reshir]

"That's a tough question. Given how even Mother Earth itself is getting desperate. Just look at what she had done to her Avery" [Mahsuri]

And that surprises both of us, and that's why, leaving the Mermaid kingdom, I come face to face with Reshir to talk about the future of Achalasia. I can't help but to worry about them

"Master Reshir. Master Mahsuri. You have a guest" [Yuki-ona]

"So, instead of trying your best to block him, you simply bring him to us..." [Reshir]

"A wise decision indeed" [Mahsuri]

She, after all can't win against him in this current state. I'm sure this smart Yuki-ona hope that we can do something

"I must said, I feel nostalgic seeing you once again... Ash" [Mahsuri]

"..." [Ash?]

His condition... Is it even possible for me to help him, or should I bet on what they said regarding Ash's conditions six years ago...
