[At Ice Dungeon]

A group of peoples hail from the same Orphanages traverse the dungeon together after having successfully completed their transaction at the exchange land.

Finest of wine, various delegacy and sweetest of sweet, all bargain at a good price that's well worth the effort as they couldn't bare contain their excitement any longer for the "eldest brother" figures, the respected figure of Rean's wedding, which is less than 2 week

"Well, if Brother Ash is here, he wouldn't want us to bought this wine" [Green hair boy]

"True. I do remember him saying he was actually killed my his drunk uncle before being reincarnated, maybe that's why he was so againts it" [Rabbit beastman]

"Should be fine. For him, moderation is the key" [Long hair black girl]

"True. That's his favourite words, plus, we are all adults already" [Lizard Beastman]

As they keep chatting among themselves, they still pay extra careful to their environment, not wanting to met with bandits, monsters or worse the devil, when

"Huh...?" [Rabbit beastman]

"What's wrong?" [Lizard Beastman]

"Am I hallucinating, or is that really..." [Rabbit beastman]

The rabbit beastman point his finger and the other quickly shift their attention towards the direction, only to confirm that

"No... You're not hallucinating..." [Green hair boy]

"That's without a doubt..." [Long hair black girl]

[At Estel's Orphanage]

[Rean point of view]

"Hmm... Isn't this a bit too..." [Rean]

"I agree with Rean... Isn't this too excessive. We appreciate the sentiment but really..." [Samurai Jacks]

"Nonsense. To the one that save our country back then, this is just the tip of the iceberg if you ask me" [Princess Nurhaliza]

"Truthfully, even I think it's excessive, but don't feel bad for yourself, you deserve it. Plus, this is all straight out of her own pocket money" [Mira]

"True. I'm sure the two of you thought that these gifts were bought by using Malsia's treasury fund, but it is not" [Naoto]

I guess that does put some relieve onto us. While Muse and Alice seems less affected by the mountain of gifts, they still excitedly scan through the gifts before

"Strange... Why did you buy this Princess Nurhaliza? Could it be... I think we can give this to the orphanage" [Muse]

"Oh, you sure catch to her intention fast" [Mira]

"True, we can, that is if Princess Nurhaliza didn't mind about it" [Alice]

"Not really. I'm sure one way or the other, the four of you would give them to the orphans and to those in need, which is why I make extra sure to buy more and more things" [Haliza]

I see, so she take into account that we will definitely give something to the orphanage or to people in need. I guess she make that as to ensure at the end of the day, we will still end up with something from her. I guess if that's how I look at it, it kinda make sense.

Still...

(There are just too many things... Even when half of the gifts belong to Master Jacks, it's still too many, and that's only for the unwrapped gifts that she show us... I'm 100% sure there are still gifts that she will only bring out during the wedding day itself... I'm 100% sure of it) [Rean]

Well, instead of making a positive sigh, a gratitude will be better. I'm sure Princess Nurhaliza will be more than delighted if I show her gratitude, everyone will

"What will you do afterward?" [Mira]

"Well, Rean and I have a lot of thing to catch up to our wedding preparations to start with" [Jacks]

"It's true. We have been leaving it to Muse and Alice, and if I'm being honest, I don't even know the flow of the event correctly" [Rean]

"That shouldn't pose much of a problem" [Muse]

"Claude will be the main coordinator for the whole program, so you can absolutely leave it to him" [Alice]

"That's right. I will make sure both of yours will have a delightful and unforgettable wedding" [Claude]

It seems like Grandpa Claude is overly excited about it. If it is really him, then both of us have nothing to worried about, as I'm sure he will be more than capable of doing so. Plus, he play a huge part six years ago during Princess Diana's debutante party alongside Brother Ash, so I'm sure everything will be alright

(Speaking of debutante party...) "Why am I getting a feeling that this event is more like a festive event rather than a wedding" [Rean]

"True, I actually notice that as well. Even the neighbors around here treat is like a festival..." [Jacks]

"""Well...""" [Claude, Muse, Alice]

Why are they averting their eyes... Actually, I can already guess the answer, but still, why are they actually averting their eyes really bad?

"So why is it that Princess Diana decided to turn this wedding into one with a festive mood?" [Jacks]

"Not that we are againts it, there should be a good reason as to why she does that" [Rean]

She isn't someone that will do something out of greed, so there should be a concrete reason as to why

"Wow... I heard about it, but this is a mountain of gift" [Elise]

Elise, who just came back from a small shopping trip, gaze her eyes upon the gifts. Even she herself couldn't believe the amount of gifts that we received from Princess Nurhaliza, though she said it make sense for a princess that represents a country to buy us these much gifts in the first place

~Ring~

Elise's phone suddenly ring up, as she quickly pick up her phone, we recognize the four of them quickly. Still, why are they looking like they just saw something unbelievable? I can tell that they're in no sort of danger, and yet, from the look of their faces, it's something urgent

"You guys. Stay calm and Listen" [Lizard Beastman]

All of us make the same reaction. We collectively hold our breath before Elise decided to break the silence

"Brother Ash. You saw Brother Ash inside the Ice Dungeon?" [Elise]
