I would it would be nice to live here. I ate my soup and munched on my bread.

We talked about what had happened in the time that we have been apart. I told her everything that was important. I left some of the details about Clara. We talked for what seemed like forever. "It seems like its time for me to go." I said.

"Okay come visit me tomorrow," she said. "I will I promise."

I walked out the door and down the path to my house. I accumulated mana until the sun went down. Then I went to bed.

The next day when I got up I traveled to the gate. I waited for rose and grand elder with cannon man. They showed up at the gate "Ive missed both of you" I said."We've missed you too" Rose said to me.

"Let me come with you this time," I asked. Since I was going to the item outpost I had to study up on what items were the most needed. The three of us ventured deep into the forest I was now strong enough to be able to escape from 100 year old heartbeasts and I could kill any 10 year heartbeast.

We made our way through the forest and as we did we gathered berries. There was a tree that had hundred year old fruit. But grand elder had us avoid it. "Thats where a snake lives.".

"Did you know rose found 1000 year old antlers here?" grand elder said.

"I didn't know that there must be a really strong deer." I said. Both of them were experienced in the forest I just followed behind. There was a nest in a tree that rose had one of her shadow clones check. There was four birds eggs. They eventually went of the path Ive never been here before. What we found was a bunch of coconut trees. It became my job to climb the trees while rose was the lookout and grand elder put them away. We worked like this with coconuts until both there bags were full.

With that done we returned to the outpost and walked in through the front gate.

We said our goodbyes and I went home and went to sleep when the sun came down.

The next day I got up and went straight to the cafeteria. Where I got a plate with coconut and birds eggs and they were cooked to perfection. I was glad to be back in the cafeteria. Even though I would always have a soft spot in my heart for Clara and her table.

I sat down with the looter squad I had made they were still using the same rings they had been using. Because they worked so well together.

"Could you upgrade our rings?" Yes, I said. But you have to give me your old rings. "Thats a deal she said to me." With that we made our way to the crafting room I used a rabbits foot a stork bill and a bird's feather.

THe three rings I made were.

Danger perception~ You can sense danger

Stealth~You and your team can enter stealth

Flee~ Double speed when running away from heartbeast

These were the rings I made from them. I took their normal rings after their team's upgrade to rare. I gave them to the shopkeeper and told him they have to be given as a group.He thanked me as we left the crafting building.

The goal of humanity was to take back part of the mainland that the sandbar lead too. Thats, why they were trying to strengthen the island through the tournament clara, was talking about.

With 50 mana left I decided to take the day off I went to the winery. I sat inside and was greeted by morgan who walked up to me gracefully.

I ordered some 10 year wine and sat there comfortably. Morgan sat by me "Have you been missing me?" I asked

"Yes, and I was sad when you were gone," she said

"Its alright I'm back now". With that she laid her head on my shoulder. I didn't mind the alcohol was nice and her head wasn't that heavy.

I continued to drink for a little while. We didn't talk we just sat comfortably in each other's presences.

Eventually, I had to go home so I sat her up straight and left. Im sure grand elder will cover my tab.

I went home and fell asleep. The next day when I woke up I was reminded how much I missed Clara.

I decided that I was going to watch grand elder and roses adventure this morning. I put on my glasses they were leaving the gate whenever I looked.

They ventured out into the forest I watched as they moved through the forest like they were a part of it. I saw them harvesting 100 year berries. It looked like rose didn't slow grand elder down anymore but was instead very useful. Her ability was that useful they made there way up the cliffs to where the snow region was. As they got to the top they saw a dead wolly mantis it was a hundred year old heartbeast.

I watched as grand elder pulled out a knife and skillfully cut as much meat as possible of it for him and rose. Next, they descended down the mountain and made there way back to the outpost. It looked like I would be eating that for a while.

I went to the cafeteria and had hundred year berry salad it was really good. I sat with my looter squad who now had the confidence to try and loot hundred year berries for themselves.

I went home and the day passed. The next day when I awoke I half expected to see Clara standing there looking at me. But she wasn't there.I went to the shopkeeper and asked if he had a book on magic items.
