[At Demon kingdom entrance]
[Aries point of view]
Right now, I am helping a convoy of patrolling demon guard as they make their way back into the country entrance. There are new guards that I never saw before, so I don't really know them, but the reverse can't be said true
"That was spectacular Mrs Paladin"
"The Gaia Shield was it call? Truly, a worthy shield magic use by an astounding Paladin"
"I'm glad we have you as our paladin"
"I'm not your paladin any longer" [Aries]
"On paper? Yes. But on our heart, you will be our paladin, forever!"
"True, but that doesn't mean your successor is unworthy. She may actually rivaled your popularity especially from those of the younger age group"
"Really. That's good to hear" (I'm glad the demon guard said that. It makes me proud of having her as my successor) [Aries]
"Still, do we really need this one devil corpse?"
"True. They're heavy, but luckily my item box magic can fit it, albeit barely"
"Yes, we need it, so please, send it to your scholar for analysis" [Singa's grandfather]
"Right!"
A devil in the form of elephants army attack one of the demon guards convoy patrolling the dungeon. The elephants, as with any other devil, are bigger, stronger and faster, with tusk made out of literal metal and with trunk so flexible and powerful that a single sweep produces a strong sickle of air capable of cutting through stone
Seeing this, it's actually the perfect time for me to test out my new blessing from The new Holy Beast of Earth, Shielding Ant Aries. Above and beyond my expectations, my earth and steel magic, get boosted to a much greater degree, especially the spell involving defense. That's why, my usual shield skill and magic becoming much more powerful
My shield, as if reacting to the holy beast power, can summon a fortress of shield, capable of shielding large number of people behind it, and my lance, while a bit heavier, produce much greater forces when combine with the blessing, so much so that a single thrust can crush the metal tusk of elephants without much effort. Truly, a wonderful blessing
"So that's the demon kingdom castle. It's marvelous" [Motra's little brother]
"I take it this your first time. Allow me to welcome you to the kingdom" [Aries]
"Coming from the one that the citizen are cheering right now, that must feel really special" [Singa's grandfather]
"It really is, and I'm amazed how the demon are all welcoming you with all their heart. It's actually a touching sight" [Motra's little brother]
"It is" [Aries]
I miss this place. I really do.

[At Estel's orphanage]
[Muse point of view]
I think that every single one of us here can agree, that it takes us all this long to use the diverse talents, jobs and skills of those from the orphanage to help Rean and the other to beat fallen god is actually unthinkable. Well, for starter, all of them do help in varieties of ways, but now
"With this, we can better coordinate among our ourselves" [Claude]
"Thank you Grandpa Claude and Sis Rafiah for getting the Goddess Treasure Chest for us all" [Teenage elf]
"You're welcome, though I must said, even Princess Diana herself felt bewildered that we just come out with this sort of thing" [Rafiah]
"Better late than never" [Filvisar]
Few things that were duplicated by using the Goddess Treasure Chest. One, is a low grade telephone. Why a low grade one? Few reasons, one is to shorten the duration the chest needed to duplicate the content. A high grade telephone will take way longer and the cool off will be longer as well. Second, the telephone sale is one of the orphanage fund line. While all of us are sure that none of the orphans will take advantage of selling the phone, there will always be situation where it could happen, like getting stolen by a thief, or misplacing their phones etc. So better be safe than sorry. Only few telephones will be given out first, with more on the way to be given to those orphans old enough and have started working somewhere. Princess Diana wanted to hand the telephone personally to the orphans. That way, she can give some task suitable for them to help Rean and the other.
"I better tell the other about it quickly" [Teenage elf]
"Princess Diana did mention she will inform Queen Rinz and the other about it, but you're right, we still have to do our parts" [Long hair girl]
And in case some of them (or majority I suppose) can't come and pick it up, other Director of Orphanage will give them a set of telephone first, and they can claim it later from Princess Diana
The second thing we duplicate
"This new logo of orphanage look great" [Female cat beastman]
"Well, Princess Diana mention that she didn't like it, but..." [Long hair girl]
"I got this feeling that she didn't actually mind, but for another reason that is" [Teenage elf]
"I do agree on that one" [Muse]
Previous logo is that of the original residence of Estel's orphanage (Mr Ash and his siblings, Behe and Mr Claude), and now, it's being redesign by Principal Alice and to be given to those receiving telephone as a mean of identification. That way, those orphans that never met each other before can recognize they're sibling of a similar institution, though I hope there isn't any baddies trying to take advantage of it
"Calypso, what are you doing?" [Muse]
"Oh this? I was just sprinkling this logo with my own fairy dust and mana, that way the logo will react to a genuine one and not the counterfeit one. Who knows, it might prove useful" [Calypso]
"Good. It will become useful" [Filvisar]
I guess that's one issue solve. Better mention it to the Princess regarding it
(Still, this logo is a nice logo. I wonder, did the princess secretly wish for it to happen? She and... Naahh...) [Muse]
A logo of her with the founder of orphanage, Mr Ash, side by side. Principal Alice must had designed it as a sort of lucky charm I suppose. Maybe we are the one over reading it... Maybe
(But still, somehow, I get this feeling she's happy about it) [Muse]
Just my woman intuition
