Alex then decided to meet Tristan, a captain soldier that he met before when he got his first mission from the king. Tristan was pretty good with building. Alex also decided to hire some people from that village to work with him. He believed that they would accept it.
Helene directly went back to the Shrine. She met with elders and she told them everything about Alex’s plan in making the Magical Mana Tower. She even showed them the mana stone. Then, Helene also explained that Alex wanted to build a transportation route to the mining spot. Knowing how clever the idea was coming from Alex, the Elders decided to ask some of their man to help Alex.Helene then made a brochure of job vacancies. Helped by her friends in the Shrine, she managed to make some sheets. In the afternoon, Helene went to the city plaza and shared the sheets to the citizens. Some of them are interested to join. Helene hoped that she could be helpful.On the next morning, Alex was waitingIn a suburban area not far away from the main kingdom, Stella was having her quality time with Mephisto. Stella looked confused due to her oversized baby birdie. When she entered the kingdom, many people were shocked and scared. Mephisto was scared too meeting with crowd of people. Even Stella had a hard time telling the guards not to get rid of her big baby. She did her best to convince the guards that the big bird was not a threat.CAWCAW!Mephisto looked so happy because it felt safe when Stella stayed by its side.“Mephy, I’m going to build a house for you here. But, it might take time for me to gather the materials.” Stella patted the big baby bird with caress and love. “Let’s wait for Pandora and Helene. They will be here to help us.”While waiting for her friends, Stella began to humming a peaceful song. Mephisto enjoyed its mother song that sometimes it joined to chirp. The breeze was cold but it soothed the heart of the young elf. She wondered if she could be a proper mother
“That’s enough! I don’t want to fight with you!” Helene screamed with anger. She tried to stand up after being knocked down by Mephisto.Surprised with how Helene reacted in anger, Pandora smiled. “Oh, the Saintess is angry. Did you see that, Stella?”“Yup. She was angry. I think this is my first time seeing that,” responded Stella in disbelief.“No no no!” Helene was panicking. “I didn’t mean to get angry. It is not your fault, Pandora.” Helene tried to hide her embarassment. She was trying hard not to make her friends uncomfortable.“It is alright, now you look like a normal woman.” Pandora helped Helene to stand up. “Don’t be too formal with us! If you feel like you are annoyed, be angry. Scream, yell or do anything! And if you feel like you want to express your feeling. Don’t hold it. Try to express it.” Pandora gave Helene a big hug.Helene did not really understand but she tried to take Pandora’s advice in her mind. Indeed she start
It has been more than two days Mephisto stayed around its cage. Mephy looked happy whenever Stella, Helene, and Pandora came to play with it. Stella did her best in taking care of the baby bird. She always gave proper meal for the crow. When Stella was away, Mephisto could not dare to leave its home. However, as the bird kept growing it began to feel stressed out.One day when Stella was going out to hunt for food, Mephisto followed her. Stella did not realize at first until she heard a scream of a citizen. Stella looked back and was surprised to see the baby crow followed her. Stella quickly say her apology to the citizen and took Mephisto back to its cage.“Mephy, bad boy! Don’t leave from your home. Wait for me here, okay?” Stella scolded her baby crow. Mephisto looked down because it could be its first time being scolded.CAWCAW!Mephisto screamed a lot when Stella walked away from it. The baby crow seemed like it begged Stella to join with he
Stella was interrogated by the angry civilians. They suspected that Stella stole animals from the poultry farm and fed it to her big baby crow. Stella was confused and she tried to decline the accusation. She was mad and tried her best to stand for her innocence.Not long after that, Helene came and stopped the morning debate. She calmed both Stella and the angry people. “Alright, now. Let’s discuss it with cool head.” Helene tried to be a moderator. “Is there any proof that Stella stole the animals?”The owner of the chicken farm searched something in his pocket. He showed a blue feather with big size to Helene. “I found it near the farm. I believe this feather is that bird’s feather!”Stella was shocked. She could not believe that her baby crow would do something bad. Stella then decided to apologize if Mephisto really did something bad. She promised that she would keep an eye of Mephisto more. However, the owner of the chicken farm was not satisfied. He
Stella did her best in taming Mephisto. Since Stella taught her baby crow to do things properly, problems were suppressed. However, Mephisto was still a kid. It might do something naughty again later. If that happened, Stella’s job to scold and correct Mephy would be appreciated. Stella got a long way to go to be a good tamer.Mephisto got better with its flying ability. It could fly higher than before and the speed could be well-controlled. It flew happily from place to place and people did not feel scared or worried anymore. Of course Stella was always there to supervise its birdie in case unwanted things happened.Not only its flying ability, Mephisto’s instinct to hunt was also improved. Doing regular hunting every day has sharpened its sense to track down its preys. Even during the night time Mephy could move swiftly. Slowly but surely Mephisto would be a good hunter and that could become a great achievement to aid Stella in the future. Mephy also never hunted
The next day, Stella gathered more of Mephy’s feathers. She went to several places where the bird might passed by. Stella even visited the place where Alex and the other men were still working on their project. Sometimes Stella invited Mephisto to go with her to see Alex for some advise. Even though Stella felt disgusted by Alex’s perverted attitude sometimes, she could count on him if there were difficulties.“I see you are now having a business. I’m glad your birdie does not make serious trouble anymore,” said Alex while taking his short break.Alex and Stella were sitting in a bench of a park. They were discussing about things. Mephisto was standing next to Stella while moving its head a lot like a confused child.“Yeah, I’m now good at sewing and making clothes. I don’t want to be useless. I want to show you too that I am a good babysitter,” told Stella with prideful expression. She looked like an arrogant girl but actually she wished for Alex’s praise
It was a sunny day, in the middle of summer season. Alex took this perfect opportunity of a weather to bring the group for a training season. In his past life, Alex and the group always neglecting constant training that resulted in casualties in their party, so Alex took every chance he can to make sure that everybody is in good shape for a foreseeable combat.“Ughh... It’s so hot... Why do we have to go in this broad daylight?” Complains Stella as they walked to their destination. As an elf race that usually resides beneath the shade of the forest, being out in the sun for too long proves to be uncomfortable for her fair white skin.“Well, we’re here for a fun session of training, of course! I thought I already told you before we depart?” Reply Alex to Stella.“What?! Training?! You didn’t tell me anything about this!” Stella snaps at Alex statement.“Well, he did say to bring our weapons as we depart. I thought we were going on a mission or something…” Helene comments.“Ain’t there
In the early morning, where not even the Sun has shown its full face yet. The group are already set and prepared for the journey towards Port Apenai with a carriage provided by the Kingdom. The trip was rather awkward. In between them, Salieri can be seen with a bitter expression, he looked restless and barely got any sleep.“Hey… Salieri… Are you okay?” Helena looks worried at her friend condition.Salieri face turns to Helene, and greeted her with a smile.“Oh, ma dame, it seems that you seem concerned about Moi. But, worry not! I just had an annoying bed bug that prevents Moi beauty sleep. That is all!” Salieri speaks with his usual bravado.“Is… Is that so? Okay then.” Helene smiles awkwardly. As everyone’s gaze averts from Salieri, Salieri’s smile turned into a sad expression.The rest of the team are worried about how miserable Salieri looked. They all know that Salieri’s hometown under attack by the Demons is a heavy blow to him, but they didn’t know the right words to comfort
