[Beastman kingdom, at Singa's grandfather mansion]
[Singa point of view]
Having a light breakfast, Savel and I quickly chomp down the food (in a delicate and manner befitting apprentice under the guidance of an Ex-Duke of the Beastman Kingdom aka, my grandfather). Grandfather seems to rise earlier than usual, maybe because he will be busy for today, something unusual for a retired duke. Well, we will be joining him for a while, specifically this morning daily updates regarding the Tyrant Ant Drant.
After saying our thanks to the chef and maids for preparing us the wonderful breakfast, we quickly went ahead to the room, just in a nick of time. I can see that the adventures and scholars working late last night, with an eye like a panda. Sorry...
"Is there any peculiar activity regarding the worker ants?" [Singa]
"There has been none so far. They're all still acting strange" [Adventure]
"But with only that much clue, we can only surmise something is wrong. While the behaviour they display did match with behaviour of certain ant species, what we are dealing is something else entirely" [Scholar]
"Which makes Paladin Aries hypothesis and gut feeling equally important as well" [Singa's grandfather]
"Either way, that doesn't change the fact that all ten of us will meet with the holy beast, one way or another" [Savel]
"That just mean we have to steel ourselves even more" [Singa]
With the daily conversation between us, the adventure and the scholars come to an end, they quickly leave the room, back to their field of work. We ask them to rest first as they were coming back from their night inspection, to which they gladly takes the offer to use one of the empty rooms here in the mansion.
It's important for us to keep up-to-date with what's happening inside the challenge dungeon where The Tyrant Ant Drant reside. We will also make a routine inspection at said place, but nonetheless, an opinion from veteran adventures and scholars will provide invaluable insight
After our daily sparing session, and the morning lecture, I guess both Savel and I can explore any part that we missed. We have to get as much information as possible, before we begin conquering the dungeon. But first, maybe w should change to more appropriate attire once again
"Sir Singa. Sir Savel. The both of you have some unexpected visitors" [Tiger butler]
""Unexpected visitors??"" [Savel, Singa]
The voice of the tiger butler can be heard, as he knocks on the door, not opening it as he simply speaks from the other side of the door
Still, an unexpected visitors... I wonder who? As we get ourselves ready, the door to our room suddenly open
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"Too late!" [Mara]
"Sorry for the intrusion!" [Zerolith]
""Mara!! Zerolith!!"" [Singa, Savel]
What!? Wait a minute? What!? What are they doing here! They're supposed to depart tomorrow morning
"Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't you find it shameful to display your abs in front of your delicate older sister" [Mara]
"Delicate you say!?" [Savel]
"I can accept if Elise or Kara, or even Lara saying that thing! But from you, never!" [Singa]
"WHAT WAS THAT!" [Mara]
"It literally only been five seconds..." [Zerolith]
"Shut it demon priest!" [Mara]

[At the dungeon entrance, Estel]
It's morning. Saying our teary goodbye to Sis Rafiah, Grandpa Filvisar and Claude, Calypso and our dear siblings, we quickly take the camper van golem, created just after Brother Ash death, heading towards the dungeon. The Cushion inside is soft, soft enough that Behe in his cute form couldn't resist but to immediately fall asleep once he used it
Once we arrive at the dungeon, I step outside only to find
"Promise me that you'll come back home safely" [Alice]
"I will" [Jacks]
"It's getting steamy here. Someone turn on the fan" [Diana]
"Your highness..." [Linda]
"Apparently the two of them aren't the only one doing that" [Qis]
Since I eavesdrop at their conversation, my eyes were drawn to the same place as to where Mrs Qis pointed out, revealing another pair of couple getting steamy in front of the dungeon entrance. When did they do that?
"Promise me that you'll come back home safely" [Muse]
"I will" [Rean]
"It's getting steamy here. Someone turn on the fan" [Kanji]
"Kanji..." [Seo Ah]
"Maybe I should use my succubus magic to make things even more romantic" [Lily]
"Lily, please don't""Please do it" [Rean][Muse]
"Something never change" [Ray]
"Agree" [Kadeus]
Almost the same dialogue play out as the two couples, Rean and Muse as well as Mr Jacks and Principal Alice saying their farewell to significant other
Mr Jacks, Kana, Birdie, Kanji and Seo Ah will be heading towards the New Headquarters where they will join with Saint Louis, Seraph and the S rank guild master there in search of the Holy Beast of Wind, The Rampaging Garuda. The path they will take
Estel --> Open field dungeon --> Kiserre --> Forest dungeon --> Cursed land beside the new headquarters --> Holy dungeon beta --> New Headquarters
The Rampaging Garuda is said to reside somewhere inside the holy dungeon. Not only that, the forest dungeon where they will use is where Karon and Farhah have been training, and also the location of the Holy Beast of Mirage, The Fairy Queen Titania
As for us, Mother Aries, Rean, Elise, Kara, Karon, Farhah, Behe and I will be visiting The Beastman Kingdom, where we will be joining with Savel, Singa, Zerolith and Mara once we arrive there. It's been a while since all ten of us gather around, so I am excited, though the mood is hampered by the fact that all of us still have no idea nor even a single clue regarding the location of Lara and Nara
The path we will take will be as follow
Estel --> Rock and Sea dungeon --> Malsia --> Beast dungeon --> Beastman Kingdom
And as a side note, from Beastman Kingdom, we can take the Dark Dungeon to arrive at the Demon Kingdom, so Mara and Zerolith will be using that route. They will depart tomorrow and will arrive slightly sooner than us at the same day
