[Naoto point of view]
"So where's the harm of it?" [Mira]
"As someone who is always in the front line, that action of her will cause distraction I believe, so do you have any idea how to tackle this problem?" [Naoto]
Currently, I am asking Mira (with Princess Nurhaliza joining in the conversation as well) regarding Mrs Aries habit of constantly touching the necklace with her family photo in it. I have been working as an adventure ever since I was small, so I do know that such small distraction can cause huge problem, but Mira just giggle when I ask her this question, and she quickly approaches Mrs Aries who is right now having a mock sparring session with Kanji and his friends, as well as Seo Ah
"No more..." [Ex thug A]
"I give up" [Seo Ah]
"Dammit! One more time please!" [Kanji]
"Sure" [Aries]
"Hey, Mira is coming, I wonder why" [Ex thug C]
Mira approaches Mrs Aries and
"Question, if someone were to snatch this necklace of yours, what will you do?" [Mira]
"Heaven should be on their side to even attempt such a thing!" [Aries]
"I see, that's good then, keep it up!" [Mira]
""Why are you asking it?"" [Aries, Seo Ah]
"Just to make sure of something" [Mira]
Huh? Is that it? She didn't even ask for anything else! I come here to ask for advice regarding that necklace that can cause distraction and that is all?
"There, all done" [Mira]
"That's it!?" [Naoto]
"Yup, nothing else should be done" [Mira]
"Honestly speaking, I don't even see the problem to begin with" [Haliza]
"But small distraction like that can kill her!" [Naoto]
"True, but will it?" [Mira]
"Of course it will!" [Naoto]
"Well, from what I observe, it seems like she found a new source of strength" [Haliza]
"True, but someone stoic like you might not appreciate it that much" [Mira]
"That again..." [Naoto]
I give up, I just can't understand this sort of thing perfectly. I can read the mood perfectly well, I consider myself as considerate, but when it comes to emotional attachment like this, I can't explain it well to myself. I do believe logic should prevail over emotions in most situations, that's why I decided not to tell the emotional Ash about his siblings falling sick the first time we met in Kiserre. I do feel bad but it was the logical things to do during that time, but...
(Then again, these two have been saying the same thing to me, that I should be more flexible) [Naoto]
"Mrs Paladin, you're strong!" [Cat boy]
"As strong as Brother Ash!" [Elf boy]
"Dammit! Another loss" [Kanji]
"Please, just give up..." [Ex thug E]
"No! One more time!" [Kanji]
"I wanted to join!" [Teenage boy]
"Sure" [Aries]
A new source of strength. I wonder if it's the same as me looking after Kanji when our parent passed away?
~Birdie screech~
"So that's the metal bird golem you guys been talking about" [Aries]
"Ohh, we have a guest" [Kana]
Looks like they have come back. I wonder what they will tell

[Diana point of view]
The brainstorming session ends with a good note. It is getting late, so I should sleep first. Last time, I dream about my meeting with now Saintess Rumia, I wonder if the dream will continue
"So you can communicate with Goddess Achalasia herself!" [Young Diana]
"True, but I'm only telling you this because the goddess says you can be trusted!" [Young Rumia]
(Is she serious...) [Young Diana]
"You don't trust me, very well, watch this" [Young Rumia]
Performing a prayer sign, young Rumia asked the goddess for a meal to appear right in front of us and
~Poof~
"What!" [Young Diana]
"Teehee..." [Young Rumia]
She seemed happy. Rumia have always this air of cute, happy and innocence in her, and to think it was from way back. I'm glad that part of her still unchanged
"What, what kind of trick did you use!" [Young Diana]
"So you still don't believe in me..." [Young Rumia]
"Well..." [Young Diana]
There's no magic involve, and the chicken turkey that appears before us is the best chicken turkey I have in my life, but
"Why did Goddess Achalasia ask you to tell me all this?" [Young Diana]
"I don't know" [Young Rumia]
"What?" [Young Diana]
"Goddess Achalasia love to give what she called as a homework and ask me to figure out the rest by myself" [Young Rumia]
Is that so... I don't know why but somehow, I have this feeling that something big will happen in the future with this revelation.
"Can you ask the Goddess about one thing?" [Young Diana]
"Sure" [Young Rumia]
(What a nice girl she is) "Can you ask the Goddess about these three girls and..." [Young Diana]
"She said just approach them and make them your best friend" [Young Rumia]
"That was quick, and thank you, Dear Goddess Achalasia" [Young Diana]
I quickly get up from my seat, and Rumia ask me whether she can come along
"Sure, we are friends after all" [Young Diana]
"Really! Can I call you Princess Diana!" [Young Rumia]
"Just call me Diana, and I'll call you Rumia" [Young Diana]
"But that is..." [Young Rumia]
"Now, let us go!" [Young Diana]
So unlike Ash, well, that's for the good. As we walk, I can hear the sound of wooden sword clashing with one another. The three of them are still practicing
"Take this!" [Young Linda]
"Nice try, but that won't be enough!" [Young Qis]
"Alright, alright, you win, again..." [Young Alice]
Well here goes nothing
"Excuse me!" [Young Diana]
"Isn't she..." [Young Alice]
""Your highness Princess Diana!!"" [Young Qis, Young Linda]
"Bow quickly you two fool!" [Young Alice]
I don't remember Alice used to be like that...
"It's fine, just... can you tell me your name?" [Young Diana]
"""Ehh...""" [Young Linda, Qis, Alice]
"Well, I will go first. I'm Diana, she's Rumia, and..."(Why am I so nervous?) [Young Diana]
"Can we all be friends!" [Young Rumia]
"""Ehh!!!""" [Young Linda, Qis, Alice]
~Beep~
The alarm magic core goes off, and another beautiful day greet us all.
"That sure was a good dream" [Diana]
Better get myself ready
_________________________________________________
"Beat the alarm once again!" [Ash]
I hate the alarm sound from the magic core, so much so that I will always wake up before the alarm.
It's a beautiful sunny day, if only there's not much work piled up. Then again, I don't really mind it that much, sure it's a hassle but compared to being ruled over by the other two princes, I rather work myself to the bone and let Diana seize the throne for herself
Photoshoot session, tournament, various shops, decoration of the neighborhood area, daily inspection, painting the old houses around for the event, overseeing the construction of a new hall, upgrading the training hall, various performances and mini games, recruiting teachers for the school etc etc. The list sure goes on and on. Not to mention, the telephone and the gun work especially the telephone as it will be officially introduce by Diana, Gizzere and I
(I'm sure the castle will release the statement about Diana's debutante around now, so let the hassle begin) [Ash]
"Brother Ash, the first prince and his convoy asks you to come down!" [Rean]
"Sigh... what a hassle" [Ash]
If only I can legally kick them in the face
