We had ultimate success! Praise the Maker! It makes me happy to know that I was able to contribute so much to the group's efforts to clear the dungeon. From my creation's battle abilities, to my very own puzzle-solving skills, it is certain that without me the group would not have succeeded, haha! I feel that I am one step closer to proving how right I was in developing my magic-armor-construct. I must press forward.

Speaking of pressing forward, after we finished the dungeon, we stayed in Probium for a few days before departing to the south. Personally, I would have liked to have more of a taste of the adventurer life with requests and whatnot. Unfortunately, Helena wasn't all that thrilled with that, mostly because she believed that if we started helping other people, we might end up involved in a bunch of other different things, which, to be honest, I guess she isn't wrong. But would that be so bad. It's not like we have a set objective, right? Or do the two of them an objective? Speaking of them...

For some reason, it seems like Alexius wasn't too happy with the end result of the dungeon. I wonder if he thinks we deserve more than just those brooches for all of our troubles. Personally I think it's good enough. I mean, we knew from the start that there wouldn't be any real reward from it. Maybe it's something else? Sometimes I really feel like I should get better at understanding them, but then I think. What the heck, I can't even understand myself, right?

About Helena, I guess she is more useful in a fight than I thought. I have to admit, that at first that she would just be someone to be protected, and well, I did have to save her quite a few times, but she also saved me a couple of times, so I shouldn't complain. If I were to say it though... She is a bit too quick to complain, I think, not that I am going to say it to her face. Better to be discreet, yeah? Mom always told me that you insult a woman at your own peril. I'd hate to part with the two of them, so I will keep my mouth shut.

Alexius is such an understanding and patient man! It's like he never has something to complain about and even when there is something clearly worrying him, he seems to prefer dealing with it by himself rather than burden others with it. While it is admirable in a way, it worries me that someday he might try to take on something that he can't quite deal with it. But that's how things are, I am definitely not smooth enough to try and talk about these kinds of things with him. I really wonder what is it that has him looking so worried a few days after we left Probium.

I don't think it's the fact that we decided to avoid the Bloody Road on Helena's insistence, is it? Probably not, thought he did say something about taking an unexpected detour and dealing with something troublesome. Well, there's no need to worry about that I think, he will probably talk about it when the time comes. Meanwhile, I try to think of any improvements I could make on my Magic-armor-construct. I wonder if I could craft weapons on the fly like those golems in the dungeon? Hmm, maybe it would use up too much mana? It probably depends on how you do it. Every day, after we wake up, when Alexius prays and briefly trains his swordplay, I train sculpting only through mana. It kind of takes me to back to the old times, when I was learning to craft with my father. Maybe if I made part of the arms more flexible...

It is also positive that Helena seems to be less annoyed by me in general too. Looks like my strategy of not really talking to her that much is working now. Or perhaps it was from what we went through together in the dungeon? Eh, more useful to think about developing my creation.
