[Saintess Rumia point of view]
Saint Louis already gave the permission for my departure to Estel. When he asked whether it was because of the Goddess will or not, as usual, I tell him that the goddess says it's a homework for me, to figure it out myself. He looks worried but a little bit of convincing is all I needed to sway the opinions of those attending the meeting.
I can't wait to meet Diana, Qis, Alice and Linda's younger sister once more. Too bad, our friendship didn't last long, as after the brief period of time we are all acquaintance, the goddess tells me to follow a certain group of people in order for me to escape from the clutch of the Achalasia Externa. Their connection to the second queen of Estel is still unclear even up till now, but I'm glad Diana, Qis, Alice and Linda help me.
(Follow the path in the old valley, and you'll meet a group of slave vampires. Use this blessing of mine to free them all) [Goddess Achalasia]
That was what the goddess tells the last time, and those group of vampires will later serve Diana as her hidden guards. After my escape, I join a traveler priest, and later meet Saint Louis and the other, which ultimately led to the birth of the original teaching of Achalasia religion, or what common folks love to refer as the new follower.
"We have packed all the necessaries for your long journey O saintess" [Servant]
"Thank you so much. I'll miss you, and please take good care of Saint Louis" [Saintess Rumia]
"I'll miss you as well O saintess. And I'll be sure to be strict on Saint Louis habit of eating honey" [Servant]
"Please do!" [Saintess Rumia]
"Please don't" [Saint Louis]
"Oh my, how rude of me, good morning O saint" [Servant]
I can still see the panda eyes in Saint Louis.Poor Saint, he's still tired from all the late night meeting and the abundance of documents that he needs to take care of, and yet he still finds the time to say goodbye to us
"Do take care on the road, and may the goddess always be with all of you" [Saint Louis]
"Thank you" [Other]
"And please, send my regards to Ash" [Saint Louis]
"I will" [Saintess Rumia]
There's ten of us that will depart to Estel. Five men and women including myself. It will be quite a long journey
"Guess this is my punishment for sneaking out to Kiserre. Back to work it is!" [Saint Louis]
Saint Louis figure become smaller and smaller. I have sent the letter through the mini garuda, but...
(I wanted to surprise them, so I don't really tell Diana about me joining in this convoy. I wonder how will she react) [Saintess Rumia]
(Naughty girl aren't you) [Goddess Achalasia]
(I'm not!) [Saintess Rumia]
I can hear the Goddess gentle laugh

[Aries point of view]
It's been few days after my departure from Malsia. Entering the Beast Kingdom, the usual guard greeted me, even offering some of his sweets for me, for which I gladly accept. As usual, the Beast Kingdom houses some of the friendliest people I know. The beast kingdom is like that of Estel, only their structure is usually bigger with more variation of shape as to accommodate all the different types of beastman to live comfortably with each other.
As I take my first step, a familiar figure quickly approach me
"I heard what happen at Kiserre" [Motra]
"News sure spread quickly" [Aries]
Motra, a half man half woman butterfly beastman. He/she is a noble as well as an S rank adventure. She's friendly and is nice to talk with, although his/her appearance will still throw you up sometime
"Motra, can you lead me to the castle. I need to talk with the Beast King, Leogris" [Aries]
"Ticket to castle coming right up!" [Motra]
He/she quickly takes the soldier carriage and guide me to the castle. I talk to him/her about the incident, about the embassy request from Queen Rinz as well as Princess Diana debutante party.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"I see. So Behemoth slayer will help her" [Motra]
"He will" [Aries]
"I need to convince Leo to send me there!" [Motra]
"I'll help" [Aries]
"I can always count on you for help!" (I wonder if Agnes and the True Beastman Group, Simba will appreciate this information) [Motra]
_________________________________________________
News of the debutante party being held around our neighborhood area have become a hot topic and discussion among the citizen of Estel. With that, there are bounds to have some stupid and useless rumours going around. Honestly, human do love gossip. Then again, even with the internet back on earth, the truth rarely spread but gossip and rumours spread like wildfire, no it's worse back on earth as compared too here.
"Here the last bunch of magic core" [Zerolith]
"And here the seeds from the elemental trees" [Farhah]
"Thank you all of you for helping me out" [Ash]
"You're welcome" [Rean]
The first thing that I should really do is once again, upgrade Housey and Calypso tree. And this time around, it's just to increase their area of influence, ambitiously covering our neighborhood area.
"Alright, I'll tell you the details once more. Simply put, we will place the magic core at specific point. That way, Housey and Calypso tree can expand their area of influence, allowing for better security as well as allowing Grandpa Claude to move outside the mansion. We will also plant the seeds along the roads and let them grows quickly with the help of Calypso and Calypso tree. That way, the elemental trees can act as decoration, street light at night as well as attracting dormant fairies. Understood?" [Ash]
"Yes!" [Other]
"Good, now split into the group, and follow the adventure. Don't cause them trouble" [Ash]
"Yes" [Other]
"Bobunny, multiplies and follow them all" [Ash]
~Happy chuckling~
And off they go. Well, I better brace myself, for my mana will seriously become depleted because I have to connect all the magic core to Housey. I'll go solo and quickly go to other groups later on. How do I know it will be a success? Simple, either Claude can freely move out openly during day time, or safer method of calling Rafiah through the magic core through the function of telephone. Let just go with the later one
(Better check all my mana potion) [Ash]
And there's abundance of them. Good thing we all farm it over the span of few days, but...
"Change of plan. All of you will connect the magic core to Housey and Calypso Tree. Just don't over exert yourself" [Ash]
""We can!!"" [Kara, Mara]
"Yup, and I'll be overseeing it afterwards. So, do your best!" [Ash]
"Yes!" [Others]
They sure look happy. I give them several mana potions, and they quickly split into three different group. Rean with his friends, the girls group with the ex-paladin female adventure and the female elf adventure, and as for the boys group with Syah and Borg. Lara and Nara as usual, don't want to be split up, but after a long session to convince them, they reluctantly (and with a very sad face) split up
Going into the first place, I plant the elemental seeds along the way, and once I am at the predetermined area, I bring out the magic core, and start to activate it, and then connect it to Housey and Calypso Tree.
"You sure are working hard" [Kebab stall owner]
"Yup, but it's for my siblings in the end of the day, so it'll be worth it" [Ash]
"So, what are you doing?" [Kebab stall owner]
"Well..." [Ash]
As I explain to him regarding the function of elemental seeds and the magic core, something unexpected happens
"It's a success" [Claude]
"!" [Ash]
"Hey, Mr Butler? Are you fine? Don't ghost have a weakness to sunlight!" [Kebab stall owner]
"Well, I can feel a bit of sting, but nothing so serious" [Claude]
"Sigh... my heart just stopped for a moment. But I guess it's a success" [Ash]
"Let us try and call Rafiah" [Claude]
"Yeah, let us do that" [Ash]
And I am now calling Rafiah through the magic core.
"Claude! What are you doing there!" [Rafiah]
""Success!!"" [Claude, Ash]
"Are you fine, you aren't hurt, aren't you?" [Rafiah]
"There, there, everything fine. Ohh, looks like Rean have set up their first magic core. Better go there and see" [Claude]
"""Wait!!!""" [Ash, Rafiah, Kebab stall owner]
Claude disappear and
"Hello hello" [Claude]
"Claude! That's dangerous!" [Ash]
"My heart feels like it stopped for a moment" [Rafiah]
"I get that you're a ghost that has been trapped in the mansion, but don't get overly excited. What will happen if you suddenly perish!" [Kebab stall owner]
"True, we will feel bad if you're hurt because of us!" [Ray]
"I'm sorry, but it had been more than 100 years since I last went out..." [Claude]
"Well... as long as you're fine. But you being there with Rean means that it is also a success over there" [Ash]
"You did a good job young Rean" [Claude]
"Thank you" [Rean]
"Ohh, Elise and Zerolith also just finished their first jobs. Better check it out!" [Claude]
"WAIT!" [Other]
Sigh... he sure is excited. All of us call Elise and Zerolith and Claude turn out just fine, and so does the telephone functionality. I didn't even realize I can call Rafiah, Rean, Elise and Zerolith simultaneously. This turn out way better than I expected. Plus, their face and voice are crystal clear. It all thanks to the adventure and soldier helping us farm a magic core from the spawning block together.
"Mr Ghost Butler, can I have a moment. This is regarding the stall that I will set up"
"Sure, I'll help you" [Claude]
Looks like Claude will help them over there. Well, better set up the other magic core to help him. At the end of the day, Diana, Ram and Gizzere knows about the success and request a magic core connected to Housey and Calypso Tree for themselves and the guilds. I make an extra one and give to King Estel as well
