[Kara's point of view]

Goodbye gold.

When we are all inside the Rock and Sea dungeon, Brother Ash managed to slay a treasure turtle and the loot of the treasure turtle is a 24 carat gold shell. It's pretty and if can I would like to have my hand on some of the simple jewelry. It is a selfish request and thought in my hand as being able to live and eat in such a wonderful mansion itself is a dream come true for all of us. Never in my mind would I consider wearing a gold as I know how expensive it is.

When Brother Ash mentioned to us that he will sell the gold to the merchant guild, he mentioned about not wanting thievery to happen around us, I can understand the logic behind it but having to sell such a wonderful item is a waste.

I can see Elise, Mara and Farhah actually also think of the same thing. As for Charlotte, she only thinks of it as a pretty shell, she's a tad disappointed as well but I'm sure her reason is slightly different from us

As we are descending a floor

"Ahh..." [Kara]

"Bye gold..." [Farhah]

"Hope we meet again" [Mara]

It's looks like our thoughts accidentally leak out from out mouth. As for Elise, she's disappointed as well and wanted Brother Ash to search for another treasure turtle. I guess us girls can't help it when it comes to this kind of matter. I'm sure each one of us wanted to make some simple gold chain like Princess Diana

(Princess Diana, she's pretty and her simple yet elegant accessories really make her stand out. How I wish I can copy her) [Kara]

Plus, she's nice to all of us and did not even bother making friends with us, that all add up more to her beauty

Once we're on the 20th floor, Charlotte actually manages to detect a group of mermaids ahead all of us. She really is amazing when it comes to water related thing and it just make me curious as too why. Her affinity towards water element magic is sky high, even Brother Ash himself seems surprise, and the for better of worse, it will keep on growing. While we are happy for her, we also felt dreaded hearing about it. If by chance another war happen and the royal and noble heard about her amazing ability, she will get taken away from us and...

(No, I'm sure Brother Ash will protect us!) [Kara]

Just like how our parent have been protecting Mara and I before they ended up dying, I'm sure Brother Ash will do the same. In fact, I'm sure Brother Ash is a gift from God herself, at least that's how I look at him. I still remember how both mother and father keep on praying for our safety and I heard that in their final moments, their final prayer is for us to always be safe and happy...

The mermaids seem to be in a panic, and the reason is

"A group of Megalodons!?" [Mara]

"That's right!" [Charlotte]

"How did you know?" [Rean]

"I just... know?" [Charlotte]

Instinct? That seems to be the case

"Just what kind of excuse is that!" [Zerolith]

"Hey, don't scold her!" [Farhah]

"I didn't!" [Zerolith]

"Both of you, just keep quiet for a while!" [Elise]

""Sorry..."" [Zerolith, Farhah]

"Haha, serve you right!" [Savel]

"Savel!" [Kara]

"Ouch ouch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" [Savel]

That's one bad behaviour, us the older group have been tasked by Grandpa Claude and Brother Ash to guide the younger group

"Meow!" [Behe]

"It's looks like Brother Ash manage to defeat most of them! That's our Brother Ash!" [Singa]

"That's quick" [Karon]

"This is Brother Ash we are talking about! A school of fish is nothing for him!" [Zerolith]

"And that's the shark missiles bringing the loots" [Mara]

"Let just sort it out first" [Rean]

"Right!" [Others]

Brother Ash must have dive deeper into the ocean. The crystal he is looking for is situated deep inside, so he will take some time to get it and resurface back. So it's better for us to help him sort the loot first, and once he's done

"A marine spawning block!" [Ash]

"It is" [Rean]

"Another rare item" [Elise]

"Will you be using it to upgrade the training hall?" [Kara]

"I think I will do just that!" [Ash]

Brother Ash sure is lucky, he had a zombies spawning block and now a marine spawning block. Just what is the condition for such item to be dropped by monster?

With seven water crystal stone collected, Brother Ash decided to went back home. All of us agree to it

Ohh, a knight coming from Malsia's direction. I wonder why he is in such a hurry. The galloping of the thunder horse is clearly heard as it gallop through the dungeon

Its night time and all of us are drowsy. As per instruction, we are going to clean ourselves first before going to sleep

"Charlotte, at least change your clothes first!" [Elise]

"Don't wanna!" [Charlotte]

"Mara, Farhah, you too!" [Kara]

"five more minutes" [Mara]

"Ten more minutes" [Farhah]

"Why you guys, chang...!" [Elise]

Elise suddenly stop, and we can hear Grandpa Claude, Brother Ash, Rean and Sis Rafiah headed outside. What happen? And Grandpa Claude suddenly come inside and that's!!!

"Stay back all of you!" [Rafiah]

Sis Rafiah warned us

"That's a ghost eater and a wraith!" [Elise]

"Damn! What's it doing here!" [Zerolith]

". .-.. .. -- .. -. .- - .. -. --. / - .- .-. --. . -" [Housey]

"Go Housey!" [Singa]

And the two monsters vanish from Housey's light attack. We attended Grandpa Claude and he seems just fine

"Thank goodness" [Rafiah]

"Yeah" [Zerolith]

"Ohh, you are agreeing to her, that's new" [Mara]

"Shut it!" [Zerolith]

"Shut it, shut it!" [Charlotte]

"Charlotte!" [Kara]

"Ouch!" [Charlotte]

"Haha, sorry for making you worry. But more importantly, Rean, Elise, both of you go and support Ash right now!" [Claude]

"!" [Others]

"Isn't it dangerous!" [Karon]

"Don't worry, I'm sure Ash will protect them. Plus, I do it for Ash own benefits. He just fought a group of A rank monster and now this happen. With Rean and Elise there, he at least will slow down a bit and will not push himself so hard" [Claude]

I see, I guess it's true, and it's looks like Rean and Elise agree to it and quickly went outside to support Brother Ash.

As for us

"Looks like Ash mana is going further away from the neighborhood area" [Rafiah]

"And there's also some monster being spawned nearby. Fortunately they're mostly low ranking monsters" [Claude]

"What should we do?" [Mara]

"I'm heading out first. I'll defeat them and protect the neighborhood in his stead!" [Rafiah]

"Be careful" [Kara]

"I will!" [Rafiah]

Sis Rafiah go out and start beating the monsters. We also couldn't just wait here and do nothing, but we're all tired as well. Still, the people in this area, they're nice to us. There are a few of them who are still an avid follower and will try their best to harm us all, but for most of them, they're nice. They are trying to know us better, but we are the one avoiding it, having some irrational fear that stone might be hurdles to us, or trying to electroc...

(No, that's all in the past! Don't think of it!) [Kara]

".. .----. .-.. .-.. / . -..- .--. .- -. -.. / - .... . / .- .-. . .- / ... --- / -.-- --- ..- / --. ..- -.-- ... / -.-. .- -. / .-- . -. - / .- -. -.. / .... . .-.. .--." [Housey]

"Housey?" [Charlotte]

"Housey expanded his area of influence, that way you guys can help the neighbors" [Claude]

"Thank you Housey" [Karon]

"-.-- --- ..- / .- .-. . / .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- ." [Housey]

We take turn defeating the monsters within the periphery. Light magic from Mara and I seem effective and thus we strategize among ourselves to defeat the monsters. They aren't that many of them and they're low ranking but we are still tired.

Morning have come and the monsters all disappear. After a long rest, Grandpa Claude make us some pancakes to replenish our energy. Brother Ash also come home, but...

"Where's Rean and Elise?" [Karon]

"Well..." [Ash]

Ohh, so they're resting at Alice's parents inn. That's a relief to hear. After eating with us for a while, Brother Ash then went to the adventure guild to meet the guild master

"Well then, I'm off" [Ash]

"Take care" [Kids]

"I will" [Ash]

We have nothing much to do, so I guess practicing will be the best thing to do

"Is anybody home?" [Syah]

"There is!" [Farhah]

Ohh, they're here. It's looks like they're worried about us and thus they come to visit us for a while. I'm happy and all of us started chatting with them.

More and more people have come to meet us. I'm happy to see they're fine, and I'm also happy that they're all worrying about us. Even some of the neighborhood kids that are curious come and greet us. Apparently, Brother Ash, Mr Jacks, Rean and Elise helped them last night and thus they come to say thanks for what they did. Ohh, good timing, there he is

"Thank you Uncle Samurai!"

"Hahahaha! Uncle!" [Borg]

"Maybe that's why certain someone playing hard to get? Because you look like an uncle" [Female Elf adventure]

"Is that really necessary!" [Samurai Jacks]

"Who is this certain someone?" [Kat]

"I don't know" [Blanc]

It's Sister Alice, but let just keep it a secret from them

More and more people have come. Grandma Gizzere, Clothing Aunty, Kebab stall owner and

"Princess Diana! Sis Qis! Liyana!" [Kara]

"Kara! Give me your usual hug!" [Diana]

"Ok!" [Kara]

Her hug is warm, I wish she became our real sister. As for the other kids, they're curious about Princess Diana, and she started telling them story to get closer to them. How nice of her

"Hey! What's happening between the two of you!" [Yefefiah]

"Umm..." [Rafiah]

"Nothing!" [Zerolith]

"Suspicious" [Young healer A]

"It's time for an interview!" [Young healer B]

"Hey, let me out!" [Zerolith]

"Nope, you both need to sort out your feelings!" [Yefefiah]

"You may leave once all the misunderstanding have been thrown away from your heart!" [Young healer C]

"Umm..." [Rafiah]

"Good luck!" [Yefefiah]

Will they be alright?

"What are you two looking at?" [Lisa]

"Ohh, nothing much" [Mara]

"Really. Well, standing around doing nothing is bad. I know, how about I tell you guys about my research!" [Lisa]

"Sure, that sound interesting" [Kara]

Ohh, how nice. She has been traveling from country to country recording and studying various things. Biggest flowers, Raflesia Gigantica and Reverse Raflesia Gigantica, that sound interesting. Prince Druser and Female Paladin Aries. So that's what they're doing now. I don't know that. Mermaids, I see, maybe she might have some idea about the mystery surrounding Charlotte but

(No, should just keep it a secret) [Kara]

As we keep on listening to her stories, Brother Ash, Rean and Elise have come back home and it's looks like class about to start

"Kara, come here will you" [Ash]

"Yes" [Kara]

Since Brother Ash is calling me out, I went to his side first

"Alright, before I start my lesson, how about we have Kara here teach you all about the basic of magic" [Ash]

"!" [Kara]
