The dimensional crack was no means easy to fill. The people involved expanded their magical power to its utmost limits. The incantation was mostly done by Ivy as she slowly reverts the state of the crack from a wounded gap in space to a filled one.
Finally giving up from filling the void, she made a call to her aunt and told that instead of filling it, revert the process in which the crack was made. In that part, Reysha’s power, World Lapse, becomes a crucial medium combined with Ivy’s time manipulation.
Through catalyst, Soul Spar and Philosopher’s Stone, they had enough quality of material to recreate and reverse a process in which time is greatly disturbed without so much feedback.
However, because she only told them about this midway where they have expanded some of their magical power, they gave her a light beating.
And so, with their combined efforts, they were able to fully seal the troublesome gap.
“I really though Miss Aspara will do something to sabotage or at least do something so she can still access the dimensional crack.” Falikh said as they relax in the guest room of Mousseux.
“Fool! Let’s say I do have intentions of sabotaging it. The perchance of me getting bothered by wasting precious resources would undoubtedly take its toll on me. Therefore, I deemed it a necessity to complete the operation.” Aspara hastily lashes out at Falikh with enraged countenance.
“No, I was expecting it too.” Reysha immediately intervenes with a nonchalant tone.
“Damn it, Einhart! I trusted you! Wait, perchance, everyone is thinking of the same thing?!” Aspara asked in a loud voice as she turns her head around just to see everyone nodding.
“Ah, this is just plain bullying now.” Aspara resigned herself with a sigh as she once again drops her butt on the sofa.
It was past dusk and they are lounging peacefully with tired minds and bodies. They are served with snacks and a fragrant black tea to relieve the fatigue by Teth. The starlight chandelier bears a striking radiance that reflects on the tea on the teacup that made the mood quite laidback and the wafting aroma of butter from the cookies didn’t help to lessen such ambiance.
“I have been exhausted beyond belief. I take it I will receive some sort of positive repercussions?” Meriyal laid down her complaint without much batting an eye to anyone.
“My Lady…I don’t think that’s the right word…” Ries who heard Meriyal suddenly raises a voice of concern.
“No, it is correct. Repercussion per se, as we are no longer exchanging grateful words and loving feedback. That is to say, I am more comfortable than any of those.” Meriyal simply answered as she sips her tea elegantly.

“Oh, that’s a really interesting outset, Princess Meriyal Breille. To answer your question, I shall have my family reserve the best reception we can accommodate for you in my upcoming day of birth.” Reysha replied, almost bickered to Meriyal.
“What’s the point of making the reception for a princess outside of your kingdom a better one? Though I’ll request a good receiving for me too…” Ivy intervenes with her own opinion.
“I intended that from the start. We are bridging gaps here after all and we need to see to it that we properly execute that plan. Preparations will be duly prepared and as soon as Miss Aspara rested herself well enough, we shall depart.” Reysha said with a suggestion and a brief glance at Aspara.
“Oh? Are you taking my wellbeing into consideration?” Aspara teasingly laughed as she sprouted a smirk.
“I just thought that maybe I should be prudent with harsh words and become a little nicer to you, Councilor Aspara.” Reysha returned a smirk.
“Is that so?” Aspara can only say as she is lost for words.
“I see, so as planned, Ivy and I will return to each of our kingdoms for the meanwhile, carefully think of bridging the three kingdoms, specifically, The Breille Kingdom, the Kerias Kingdom, and the Sirius Kingdom.” Meriyal concluded.
“Hmm…the benefits is rather impeccable if these kingdoms were to really be at a point of unity. What bugs me is that…it feels like there’s an ulterior motive.” Eiru spelled with a visibly troubled face.
“Oh, but there is.” Falikh answered his woes with a serious countenance still ridden with a smile.
“There is? I never heard of it from anyone.” Eiru then once again laid down another one of his worries.
“True. No one wanted to say a thing about it. But well know for sure that it will be a lot effective.” Reysha handed down her own view of the unity of the three kingdoms.
“Everyone knows it about here, Eiru. You were there in Mesola Kingdom Capital too, right? The Kingdom’s confidence in their prowess that they hold.” Ivy supplemented Falikh’s claim.
“Oh my, of course, Eiru is not aware of it since he is busy with other things at that time, however, as for me, I also perceived it.” Mika suddenly arrives at the guest room with a confident smile.
“Madam!” Aspara happily strode to Mika’s side with a glee smile.
“Mika, what do they mean?” Eiru directed the question to Mika.
“To unite three kingdoms with equal power is just as they said, will have an impeccable advantage, however, there’s one more. In fact, maybe due to it that they organized such thoughts.” Mika explained.
“That is…?” Eiru bridged a question.
“That is to keep the Kingdom of Mesola in check. With three kingdoms uniting with each other, it won’t make any hasty or suspicious movement. They are confident of their forces and from what I’ve seen, they are most likely prepared for war.” Mika gave the full detail to Eiru.
“An indirect declaration of supremacy through numbers? That is indeed an ironclad strategy. The King of Mesola would think twice to attack three kingdoms working together. Not to mention, if the rumors about the Archbishop missing is true, then that’s a less worry.” Eiru said in one fell swoop.
“But my mother isn’t that frail mentally. She will do everything for her goal. That’s why we, the Bandit Host Club, will move our base of operation close to the Kerias Kingdom! There, we will investigate the whereabouts of my mother as well as make a killing!” Falikh declared with a huge grin.
“Wait, this is the first time I’ve heard of that.” Reysha raises an exasperated expression as her calmness crumbles once Falikh spoke something again.
“But of course, I just decided it.” Falikh replied.
