" Ugh... It's so hot today... I feel like I'm burning. "
The weather is terrible, my wings are dry and feel so heavy. I already miss the fresh mana-filled air of home. Still, I should be happy to travel without snow, unlike some of my sisters.
*Sigh*
...
" You know, young mistress, if you want to rest, you can just ask for it. "
" It's alright, I can keep going. If we don't hurry, all the good crystals will be taken, you know? Besides, my excitement gives me energy! I can finally have my own dungeon! "
" I acknowledge your excitement, but you still need to take care of yourself. "
" You worry too much, I already told you! "
" Then, why do you keep complaining for hours? "
" Ugh, th-that was nothing, it was... It was just your imagination. "
* sigh * " Alright. But, do tell me when you want to rest. "
I am not a child anymore, I need to be brave... I wonder if the weather counts as the first challenge in my adventure? Besides, from today onwards, I can't ask for help from mom anymore. Actually, It's kind of scary to be alone...
" Mistress, I am deeply sorry, I can't go any further. This is the limit of Master's area of influence. "
" What? Already? No way... I will miss you, and the others. "
" I will miss you too. You are the most special pixie among your sisters. "
* sniff *

" You used to cause so much trouble for Master... But, that curiosity of yours will grant you many great successes in your life. Be careful it is also a double-edge sword. You are truly a [Blessed] child... "
" Waaah! "
I hug Sophia tightly as I cry on her shoulder. This will probably be the last time we see each other. Since the day I was born, she was always the one that looked over me.
" Don't cry, just be strong. I know that you can build an incredible dungeon just like your mother."
" But, you won't be by my side anymore... "
" It’s alright, I will gift you a charm. I used one of my strongest defensive magic by adding a piece of my soul. With this, I will always be by your side. "
" Thank you so much, Sophia. It means a lot to me. "
" Be careful, you can only use it once. I'm sorry, I can't make a better one right now."
" No, it's a great charm. I will treasure it. "
" So, this is a farewell, young mistress. "
" No, it's not! We will see each other soon, I know it! "
" I hope we will…"
" Goodbye... "
After my departure, I travelled alone for three days and three nights before finding what I wanted. There was a deserted land void of mana. And, in the center of such chaos, was the most brilliant and beautiful crystal I ever saw. With so much pure mana, it has to be a B rank or even an A. With this, my future looks bright.
I am ready to make my dungeon.
" Hey there, can you hear me? Heyyy! Hello! "
