Sonata climbed inside the nest and made several shots from her weapon towards it, revealing the gigantic beast within the nest and she kicked away the nest first--letting the core be unprotected when she faced a flying, wasp-like creature on its' center. "Four Roses Husk?! When I thought this situation couldn't get worse..." she whispered and gritted her teeth as she can't bring any Mail-Hunters with her to assist--why didn't Suona came along?
Oh right, she can't bring anyone here. Once she cut the pupas into bits, she fired a large blast of Melodic Amber and blue lasers aimed towards it in precise angles, killing the Four Roses Husk and leaving the corpse to rot.
Once she cut the pupas into bits, she fired a large blast of Melodic Amber and blue lasers aimed towards it in precise angles, killing the Four Roses Husk and leaving the corpse to rot.
Sonata paused to see the fake sun began to shine brightly as she continued to float higher than ever before, thinking that her duty has done here. With a huff, she suddenly screamed when she fell down from the Artificial Light due to gravity again. She used her Automotive Gear weapon to stab any area that can hold herself from falling, making her sighed in relief. "Why am I thinking about that...? THIS IS NOT THE END!"
Of course, some people watched her as she slowly take out her Automotive Gear and landed on the nearby rocky platforms. Until she glanced at her weapon, thinking if it would work. "If I can ricochet the beams back with the same wavelength of the core... I can destroy it without any further destruction..." Sonata gritted her teeth before she began to aim her gunblade downwards, pressing the trigger as she jumped with the weapon upwards. "This is all that I have left... now everything is done, no matter what path I'll go. Just close your eyes for a sec."
Everything turned black, as the figure behind her embraced her tightly.
"Sonata, you can do it."
It was her late-mother's voice that guided her to the light, finally Sonata reached the end of her destiny--the song that meant more to her. The power in her wrist rocketed her up in the sky and Sonata released it, holding her weapon straight and dashed towards it. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the Spiritus Husk encased inside the pupa-like cocoon before her; one strike that went in a center's pupa's eye became the shooting star pierced through the heavens, turning it into a full moon...
"Good bye, abomination of Canaria!"
That is what Sonata thought as her power exploded the Spiritus Husk into dust, every pupa exploded with high velocity power similar to a sonic boom across the land and her friends cheered for her accomplishment. It was a success!
Until Sonata began to scream as she felt the Spiritus Husk tried to capture her, before she aimed her weapon once again--combined with the two weapons and a powerful blast of Melodic Amber released its power to the Artificial Light's core. It released more sparks and explosions, before it truly broke apart into small fragments. Like fireworks, Sonata enjoyed the sight of the beautiful view as she smiled, watching the five-star symbol of the Canaria began to fade away into oblivion.
Redeemed and punished by death.
Sonata then let go of the Artificial Sun she broke, she can't believe what she did... before she remembered that she must bring back the natural sun on top of the skies before the people were infected and fall into despair, but Sonata struggled. She can't take anymore, as she went deeper and deeper... as darkness devoured her vision. After that, everything was engulfed in bright light.
Sonata was in her 'awakening' form, her teal-blue eyes turning bright red as she was glowing in bright light. Her combined weapons also glowing in bright light, she look up at the outside of the Artificial Light--wanting to bring back the natural sun for everyone.
All are worthy enough to know what happiness was, she finally smiled because she always wanted a world of light and freedom.
Sonata was just a Mail-Hunter who has saved the world of Canaria, perhaps humanity might prosper again with time. As she blasted down the prison, towards the citizens who saw the bright light appears--a new dawn upon them.
The Canarian night skies brought back to life.
"New hope has arise!"
This is their future and everyone would want the stars forever to continue shine into the beautiful future ahead.
Sonata jumps down from the sphere as she aimed her weapon, she saw all the lights swirled around her Automotive Gear--indicating that this is the final act. She can end this Spiritus Husk breed crisis here and there is no more nightmare for anyone, all the artificial stars on their sky begun to explode. Pouring its' radiance across all the realms in its' darkest hour, the artificial sun begins to glow brighter and brighter as she yelled.
"Chopin's Nocturne Last Movement, Opus 9 No. 2! Ethereal Maelstrom Burst!"
Claude, Gabriel, Claire, Suona, Xinglan, Amaris, Sonata's father Solvine, her mentors... and all of her family members who are still in Canaria watched with relief and amazement when they saw the exploding stars that were raining across the whole empire. "Sonata has done it! The artificial sun are being destroyed!" Suona yelled, watching the natural sun has formed in the sky and eradicating the endless night of the sky.
Sonata was falling as she was exhausted from wasting her Melodic Scores, before her father Solvine captured her--carrying her and landed safely on the ground, hearing all the cheers from their comrades and the citizens. "Nice job, my dear daughter... I can see now. How lively the night is, by looking at this wonderful sight. Thank you for doing this for all of us," Solvine whispered with tears in his eyes, planting his warm kiss on her forehead as they watched the crowd cheering and chanting 'Sonata Nocturna' as a celebration, just like how the Prime Minister did at the beginning.
Sonata was sleeping like a toddler in her father's embrace, she never heard so many people loving her for her bravery and skills on protecting the nation's night--regaining their hope and lives. This is when everyone were truly happy, knowing this could be the end of an era and it was their era. Konami smiled at the outcome as she glanced at her mentor Oswald, seeing the vision of the future that made him cried--it came true... he couldn't believe this girl had done it.
Claire and Gabriel was relieved that Sonata woke up a little, despite her fatigues as she moved her head and hugged her father in return. Her smile appeared on her face as she heard both of them cheering out happily, seeing the bright blue sky with white clouds and Lloyd was amazed by the sight. It seemed that after they had watched the artificial sun being exploded, its' power has exploded as well... along with the Spiritus Husk--turning it into an eruption.
This is what Sonata did, a heroine who made a new history in the Canaria's heart.
Alastair watched his apprentice for a while, making him proud to have a student who always pushes herself to the edge, she just truly born to be the Mail-Hunter. Same goes to Claude Oak and her partner. "Now, Canaria will know how to spread our voices into tomorrow. Or at least, I think it is time for them to learn the real meaning of this concept... do you agree?" Oswald told him, his magenta eyes looking at Alastair.
"For once, I agree on this statement, Oswald."
Senja yelled happily as he hugged the other Masters of the Mail-Hunters, Mathilda also crying in happiness while hugging everyone--Suona hugged Sonata as Suiren also did the same to his friend Solvine. While everyone shouting in cheers, Sylvette didn't know why as she began to stand up from the wheelchair--she can walk now! She thought her legs were lost, before she looked at the adults--of course, Solvine and all the adults had grown with joy and happiness before they rushed to hug Sylvette and lifting her up. Claude hugged his younger sister Sylvette, glad that she was able to stand on her own and people with disabilities were cured due to a miracle happened.
After Sonata woke up, it seems that she felt rejuvenated even though she just slept for three days before waking up. She watched as everyone were celebrating and joining to dance or hug each other, she can't bear to see it. "My muscles are sore... my body feel like it's been overworked. Huh...? Why am I still standing? I got injured back there," Sonata murmured before Oswald showed himself, making her shrieked to see the Archmage appeared without even telling her first.
"As a Mail-Hunter, of course your physical wellbeing won't matter to you if you finished your mission, you do a great job and brave to face our enemies. Everyone were very lucky to have you and your comrades do this feat that our leaders couldn't accomplish, because their actions have no meaning... there is no limit of fear unless you believed it," he complimented as Sonata's cheeks turned a little pink. She don't really know what to say as she stayed silent, her friends were having fun before she glanced at Oswald--wondering why he wants to talk to her. "Thank you, Master Oswald--"
"No need, it's Master Kaido. There's no need to cover my identity since the government is no longer a threat," the Archmage corrected and Sonata scratched the back of her head, as she decided to put down her formalities--at least in private. "Anyway, I already knew what I just saying so your eyes on me are superfluous. So... Sonata Nocturna, I would like to offer if you want to be part of the Maestros," Oswald suggested with a smile and Sonata's eyes widened.
Sonata felt like that position and title is too much, even though she would like to--but she couldn't just abandoned the others because they also deserved it too. They have done their best, and she can't put the glory for herself, a kind of selfish person she isn't. "Umm... I don't know, I am grateful... but I don't want to drag others to my feet as I made a victory. Let the glory fell to them too, they deserve their hard work for the nation," Sonata responded, laughing nervously as her cheeks heated up again.
'Hmm... she's quite selfless, maybe I shouldn't be too strict as a Director-General of Human Resources Department... I will give her time to think it through...'
"If you want time to answer, then feel free. Anyway, this might be a little big... but, everything you, Claire, Gabriel, Suona, Xinglan, and Amaris have faced before will be eternalized and become a new chapter, a book about Mail-Hunters to the world. A legendary story, an everlasting tale of Mail-Hunters and you, your team... must go out there. Go all the way, without any limitations. Good luck, Maestra. I believe that one day, I will miss our good times. The last and final word... I'm proud of you."
Oswald spoke, before he walked away and went to join Alastair, Solvine and Lloyd were trying to start a festival as Sonata watched... she feel happy and yet, somewhat sad. 'We did it, even though we face lots of challenges to overcome... and we are ready to decide where the rest of our destinies were set. The door that was locked and covered in darkness, now opened and brought the entire future, the light of the Canaria, upon us. We can see what beauty the art of living means, just like what our leader told me and the rest of my comrades,' she thought as a bell chimed.
It will be a brand new morning with wonderful dawn
***
"So many gifts... so heavy..."
Sonata put them on the table after she finished opening all of them, she was surprised with all of the presents that were given to her and also the gifts from people who send their regards to every Mail-Hunters even the Masters of the National Postal Service. "This is amazing!" she exclaimed happily, after Gilbert and Cordelia gifted some presents--which she loved so much.
Gabriel smiled as well, he was glad to see Sonata smiling so much with all the presents that she received; he knew how hard she worked for the past few days and he was glad that she's able to enjoy it--the others also appreciating her efforts and also appreciate others as well. "You deserve love and kindness," Claire said with a smile, ruffling the sixteen years old Winter Wolf Mail-Hunter's snow-white hair as Sonata grinned--her wolf ears rose up happily even her white wolf tail.
"Thank you guys! Thank you very much!"
Claire and Gabriel both smiled at her happiness--they were happy because Sonata's expression changed so much since yesterday afternoon--they have seen how much happier she was compared to how she was a week ago, they know how much effort she spent to accomplish this task; because Sonata helped a lot during the mission and also the festival's contributions. "Sonata, here's for you!" Mathilda handed Sonata the gift; it was a casket of fruits and berries. "Thank you Mathilda!" she thanked her.
"Hohoho! Here's one for ya~!"
Senja handed his gift for Sonata as well, it was a casket of chocolate cake with strawberries; it looks delicious--especially that it's from her favorite chocolates! Sonata took a bite of the cake and started munching on it as Senja grinned happily at this. "Xinglan! What do you got for her?" Lloyd asked him, seeing him flinched that he cleared his throat. "Well, it's quite something special for her… I hope you don't mind."
Xinglan was keeping his cool, but deep down he's actually bashful due to his embarrassment and want to make her happy. "Here you go," he handed her a gift that was a Huaxian tea utensils set with oriental designs with blue and white color, along a bouquet of freshly-arranged plum blossoms and peach blossoms--along chocolates and candies on the bouquet. "Yay! Thank you for the gift, it smells sweet and fresh!"
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Sonata accepted his gift including his bouquet, how come he was able to make this? Indeed, he can arrange flowers and make bouquets--that was Xinglan's secret talent and he even planning on opening a flower shop in the National Postal Service. "Woah, we're not expecting you to be this sweet, Xinglan~" Mathilda teased, even the others surprised and amazed by his talent. "Shut up…" he grumbled.
"Sonata! As your childhood friend, here's a gift that I've been crafting for you!"
Suona said happily, showing her gift for Sonata which is a large jade-colored Huaxian burr puzzle ball--shaped in various shapes for three-dimensional imagery inside the puzzle ball--it's a common gift for children. "Wow! That's awesome, Suona!" Sonata gasped at her gift, impressed by her craftsmanship-which is making something like this and still challenging for her. "Here you go," Amaris said, revealing her gift which is a large dark blue bouquet filled with yellow ginkgo and daffodils. "O-Oh my God! Amaris!" Sonata gasped in response, surprised of Amaris's gift. "WHAT THE--THAT BOUQUET IS SO HUGE!"
"Huh, what's wrong with that?"
Amaris is quite popular with girls just like Claire, some female Mail-Hunters always send her some bouquets and something that should be for boys... and still amazed of how fast that she fell asleep during meeting--now everyone knows the real Amaris. "Oh well... thanks..." Sonata thanked her, white carrying the heavy-ass gift. Suona's father Suiren gifted her a jade statue of Winter Wolf. It was beautiful--and some new clothes made of silk that Sonata actually wore right now, which looks elegant and simple.
"Alright, Claude! What do you got for her?" Lloyd asked his apprentice with a smile, seeing Claude also had a gift for Sonata. "It's a surprise," Claude answered as he handed Sonata a box wrapped in wrapping paper with a red bow on top.
Sonata looked curiously at the box as she untied the ribbon, once she opened it she found a small plush toy inside with an orange color fur. It was cute with a smiling mouth-like a fox or maybe rabbit? Sylvette made that as she giggled with him, which she also helping her older brother to make them. "Oh, it's so cute!" she exclaimed as she hugged it and held it close to her chest-she couldn't stop herself from laughing. "Thank you Claude, Sylvette!"
"Here's the gift for you."
Vincent handed the present calmly, it made Sonata curious and unboxed the present--her eyes widened that it was an antique pocket watch. "Wow! Is this real?!" she gasped as she inspected the watch closely, seeing it's really an old model of the pocket watch, it's made of gold with a shining silver dial on its front surface, it's really old and rare. "Thank you, Vincent!" she thanked him, before he nodded and saluted her with cool gesture. "Oh right, don't forget mine as well."
Chase spoke, handing her the large bouquet filled with white forget-me-not flowers that made her face blushed red. "Thank you Chase, this was very kind of you," she replied to him, before he simply ruffled her white hair and chuckled before he left her to be--it seems that Sonata didn't know how to react so she's giggling while covering her face, of course she was embarrassed.
"This is for you, dear daughter."
Solvine said to his daughter Sonata with a smile, handing the present to her which made her excited. "Woah... it's a snow globe and carousel music box! Thank you father!" Sonata said happily, hugging him and that alone made him hugged her back. "You're welcome, my dear. Oh... here's the card for you," Solvine added with a smile, handing her a small envelope which contained her father's handwriting. She read it carefully and saw that it's a poem of her name and it made her blush. "O-Oh... thank you!"
"Great! Alastair, what do you got for your apprentice?" Lloyd asked him who has an annoyed expression on his face, he sighed softly at his Postmaster-General. "Yes... I have," Alastair said as he rolled his eyes, he took out a small box and handed it to Sonata with a grumble. "Open it."
Sonata carefully peeled off the wrapping paper from the box and open it, finding herself staring at a necklace that was attached to a silver chain--a silver pendant shaped into a wolf with a diamond embedded in it. "A necklace?"
"Hey! Consider that as a gift," Alastair couldn't believe it, he's been wanting to give her a gift but he never get the chance until now; he wanted to give her something meaningful and important for her. It was so expensive--it's almost a month's salary for him and his apprentices combined!
"Here you go, Sonata!"
Konami showed the gift for Sonata which is a lava lamp filled with multi-colored shapes of orange, red, and blue liquid--while Sonata was excited after receiving a gift for her. "Oswald! What's your present for her?" Lloyd teased, but he already expected a silent treatment--he could only shrugged his shoulders as Oswald sighs and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Lloyd... really..."
Sonata look at each gift with excitement and joy, but she wondered if Oswald wants to give her a gift. 'I would like to have one...' she thought, before Oswald handed her a large crystal ball that's filled with her Melodic Scores that she used as weapons, also inside are many other weapons she collected over the journey. 'WHAT?! WHY IS THIS BALL SO BIG?!' Sonata thought after that Oswald leaned closer to whisper in her ear.
"Don't worry. Sometimes we just cannot seem to grow up if we allowed to have our parents to take care of us. So... live your life to the fullest and reach your dreams. I want to thank you and don't be like me, don't be too stubborn and open yourself to your friends."
Sonata stood there as she was dumbfounded, before she shivered in fear when she didn't know how she would repay him in every single one of these gifts, there are too much gifts and stuffs for her today--it feels like she couldn't handle all of these since she felt sad after what she saw yesterday and it's her first time seeing so many people celebrating for the festival--in tribute for her. "T-Thanks... Master Oswald..."
"Here's from me, Sonata," Lloyd handed his gift for Sonata, it was a white coat which was made from materials of rare cloth woven from wolf pelts and also there are wings-like ornament at the end of her cape. "Thank you, Master Lloyd!" she thanked him happily, feeling his hand ruffling her hair.
"This is from me," Dr. Chamberlain showed his gift for Sonata as well even his lab assistant Marie gave one for her, it was a beautiful bouquet of roses which is made out of fresh flowers. Gilbert and Cordelia also gave their gifts to Sonata together--both of them handing their presents to her; they had also bought many different kinds of cakes, candies and chocolates for her.
The celebration of Festival of Lights had ended with happiness in their heart, everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly; it made Sonata feels appreciated because they did their best in achieving something--something that nobody else could achieve--it made her want to thank them back in return by making gifts for the people and friends. Xingfa and Zhilan came to the festival as well--representing the Stardust Express Station, which made Sonata flustered that they had a gifts for her. "AARGHH!!! No more! I can't carry them anymore, my arms are too heavy!"
"Sonata, here's your gift!"
Zhilan said with a smile, handing the gift the couple made together which is a perfume from Huaxia--the oil paint was scent of exotic flowers and it was too strong that made Sonata faints after inhaling it. "GOD! CLAIRE! MY EYES AND NOSE!" Sonata gagged as she landed on the ground with a thud! The fragrance was unbearably strong and irritating to others' noses. "Oh dear, I guess I put too much ingredients inside," Xingfa said with a smile and eyes closed, not knowing that the Mail-Hunters are fainted after being gagged by the scent.
Ruka huffed as she stood beside Shintaro and the rest of the crew like Rin, Natsuki, Alice, Henriette and Nico--she gifted Sonata an expensive tea set which made her flinch that she was surprised by Ruka's gifts. "A-Ahem. Thank you, Ruka..." Sonata thanked her with a big grin, knowing that she got scared by her intimidating glare--even though Claire told Ruka to be friendly when they celebrate for the Festival. Shintaro and Claire, of course, presented their flowers that was dedicated for Sonata's kindness and loyalty even though she often complaining about Shintaro's 'bossy' behavior and sometimes ignoring him.
She doesn't really mind that them asked a lot of her to do missions--well, if the missions are manageable and she will help everyone in time of need. Kaisen and Shina also presenting the gift for her, which is a silken fabric of clothes that made to make clothes and also from the Akasha Garuda (who was absent) giving her the batik-patterned clothes as well.
As Sonata glanced at her friends that were smiling and enjoying themselves; everyone deserved something special and perfect that made her happy, including her mission is the most important thing for the new generation. Her father smiled as he watched the bright blue sky, seeing the sun in the sky as he always remember his late human-wife--Carina. Sonata felt her father embraced her warmly, it was time to speak with everyone to wish her father's message.
"Everybody, listen. Thanks so much! Right now, this day marks the beginning of the future. As there were joy and happiness in your hearts, because everything must be remembered forever... right? But don't dwell in the past or you will miss the dawn of the light. We just turned a new chapter in our book, a new chapter in the story... and here comes the day! I would like to thank you for everyone, my friends and the Masters--including my father, Master Oswald, the HR Director and Master Lloyd, the Postmaster-General of National Postal Service!"
Lloyd listens as he smiled at the Winter Wolf Mail-Hunter who has developed so much, he was proud that he truly able to see the peace he wanted to experience. He saw his mother Yukiko also applauding with the others, she prepared the bag of gift for Sonata--some dresses and makeups--Largo and Layla also there with their gifts and there was Amaris' twin brother visiting as well while bringing his gifts for them. "Lloyd, I'm proud of you..." she said with a smile, making him flustered that Largo teased him. "Hey, it's been a while big bro! Congratulations for what you have done!" he said, Layla nodded while preparing several bouquets for all of them. "I can't wait for the feast tonight!"
Few hours later...
"Alright, time for new photoshoot! Just like the old days!"
"Again?! But... it seems... I'm still too shy."
"It's alright, Sonata... it's still a nice chance to do some photoshoot and be the art of Canaria. Why? Because this photo-shoot is special and you're born for it!"
Sonata groaned tiredly but laughed loudly with joy, hearing the cheerful sounds from their surroundings as they can't stop looking at it-with hope and confidence to guide the day.
This is the start of a whole new adventure, a beginning of their future.
And maybe the heroes are just born and not made, fighting your battles but not always winning.
They were updating their new group photo for the profile of National Postal Service, which means they have to renew their formal and professional presentation of their new adventure. "Thank you..." Sonata whispered, looking back at the direction of Artificial Light as it disappeared completely and replaced with natural sun. Then, she turned to the vintage camera that Lloyd wanted to use for group picture in the newspaper company's building.
She smiled happily before the picture has captured her expression forever.
The others also had to do the same for their new photo presentation, including the Maestros--including a group photo which now they were known as the 'National Postal Service Maestros'. This is what they want to do because everything was worth it, to do their best and learn their lessons. Suona jumped as she did some cartwheels, laughing while she stood on her hands while Sonata could not help but laughed.
"All right! LINE UP, EVERYONE! NOW!"
"I don't think this kind of change will last, but all we can say is that we know how it changes in the world; not because the way we change it, because it might be a normal changing type of a mood. But everyone knows better if we do. Let's take our time and face this amazing moment forever," Oswald gave his wisdom from his mind. "Everything's a blur, everyone keeps moving so fast. They can be anywhere they wanted to be... no rules to hold them back. And it's all due to you."
After that, Lloyd also had to renew his professional photo presentation for the National Postal Service's group photo; their photo was in front of the flag for Canaria and their new uniforms too, wearing their official outfit. Some people even dressed with brand-new formal clothes for the celebration, which can be used for an occasion... or so they say. They can be anywhere they wanted if the weather let them be.
If only things remain as it is, forever... they want to preserve the memory to preserve themselves.
With a 'click' sound heard, the picture has finally been taken.
"Wonderful..." Lloyd sighed blissfully, as he held the picture after it prints from the camera.
The perfect group picture was formed and Lloyd can't believe it was a great one, he was in his office and his duty as a Postmaster-General still extended from months after years. However, he never forgot their great adventures, sharing it to everyone. He hummed softly as he approached the window of his office, glancing at the town below.
"Ahh... it's been years since we received mail. Guess Sonata is too lazy to get the mail again."
He sighed deeply, seeing the warm, beautiful and shining city filled with life and so beautiful. He watched the sun rose up into the skies, people slowly living their lives normally and peacefully with their friends and family. Of course, it was hard but he was very grateful for a chance to regain peace for the Canaria. Then, he look back to see the pile of works stacking up on his desk, it was Alastair who dragged these papers on him. "Now, could you finish them immediately?!" the annoyed voice was heard.
Lloyd was trying to find excuse on why he should come back to do it, because he already got bored with the process which may last half an hour until he is finished or a month of waiting. Maybe he was too lax and lazy on his paperwork. "Okay, please... let me finish it first. J-Just a minute."
"It's ten o'clock right now... don't procrastinate now!"
Solvine listens as he was working contentedly on his reports and letters, ignoring Alastair who was so annoyed with Lloyd's attitude at this point. It is true; Lloyd is a procrastinator who always delayed the incoming works so the news comes a bit later than usual. He was lost for a while because Lloyd is out doing other jobs--it's not time to be lax about the situation!
Lloyd whined as he is disappointed in himself, yet he knew if he did something to make himself more useful and gain so much experience--as he watched the small kid playing with each other--he would be something. But for now, as long as he always knows what is the strength and weakness of every Emissary--the one who had saved the Canaria and send them into new world of future.
Alastair sighed as he saw Solvine was doing his work like usual, while on Lloyd he was still procrastinating and choose to flee from their office. "LLOYD! I WILL HELP IF I MUST AND I DON'T CARE IF I KICK YOU OR MAKE YOU SCREAM LIKE A GIRL!" Alastair yelled, growling at Lloyd before he was running away in panic. Alastair sighed for a second, he expected a lot for that lazy officer and he didn't understand why Alastair allowed to do that.
Oswald was busy talking with his apprentice-subordinate Konami who became an Emissary after passing the entrance examination, until he saw Lloyd being chased by Alastair--yelling in anger. "Wait a minute, Lloyd... I have to talk to you!" Alastair was running while chasing him, making Sonata shrieked when she was in the lobby with her group of friends. "Great, now I'll have to find a new way to repay him for his service and trust on me... good luck for the future," Oswald said with a chuckle.
"At least Alastair manage to get Lloyd not to fool around during work," Sonata murmured as she rubbed her arm, until she heard Alastair yelled. "SONATA! DON'T SKIP YOUR TRAINING IN YOUR LOBBY! GO DO SOME!" Alastair yelled at Sonata as he continued to yell at Lloyd, leaving the room with a slam as the room was shattered. Sonata flinched, before she huffed. "Maybe later, I want to have some fun for a bit."
"CLAIRE! WHERE'S MY AUTOMOTIVE GEAR?!"
Claire smirked, she intentionally hide her father's weapon because she knew he will be mad if he found out she was using it to play with Gabriel--this is the first-ever time for her. She doesn't even mind if she gets scolding. It has begun like normal, including the argument between two of the Masters which is Oswald and Alastair at first--then Mathilda sighed and shaking her head as Senja snickered when he sat down on the sofa.
Even some Mail-Hunters also starting to give lectures to the others for wasting their time, but they doesn't mean they wouldn't like that... everyone knew it takes time to learn more lessons and to know what they should do and will be next to teach them.
Everyone wanted everything to be normal again, just like old days except they changed.
