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 praiseIt 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
After the fight of Port Apenai has been settled, you can finally see the condition of Port Apenai that is in shambles caused by the demon’s attack overnight. Alex’s party helps the people of Port Apenai repairing the damages of the city.“O’right mate, on my mark. Ready… Set… HMMMPPHH!” Germio can be seen working along with Rasheed in lifting the debris of building that is too large for most villager to remove.Helene is helping to take care of the wounded along with the rest of village’s impromptu paramedics team.She wrapped bandages over a fainted boy’s body, before casting a healing magic upon him. The palm of her hand briefly shines and the boy’s previous pained expression started to fade.“That should be enough, now we just need to let him rest.” Said Helene towards a middle-aged lady next to her, presumably the mother of the wounded kid.“Thank you so much, Priestess. I don’t know if I can ever repay you and other heroes who have done so much for us.” The lady profusely thanked
After the group has finished helping the people of Port Apenai. They are about to depart back to Nousant kingdom and bid farewell.“Once again, in behalf of the people of Port Apenai, we would like to express my gratitude for protecting Port Apenai and its people from the demon’s attack… We are always be in your debt” Chief Zonta bows. Backed with people from the Port Apenai, seeing the hero’s party before their trip back.“Of course, Chief Zonta. Anytime you need help, please inform the Kingdom immediately. We will make haste to aid you.” Alex replies.Chief Zonta lifts his head, and to offer a handshake to Alex without saying anything.As Alex grabs Chief Zonta’s hand, cheers by the people of Port Apenai burst out in unison. Some are singing praises to Alex’s party, some are hysterically crying over the departure of Alex’s party, and some voices can’t even be heard, swallowed by majority of voices.In the midst of the inaudible voices of the crowd. Chief Zonta inches to Alex, slowly
The group focuses at Salieri, looking confused as he is. The merman reveals Salieri’s secret identity who is apparently, a pirate.“Um… Moi thinks Tu got the wrong person?” Salieri awkwardly corrects the merman.“Do not jest I! I shall not ever forget witnessing the mark on thy forehead, the same as thy cronies!” The merman disagrees.The group looks at Salieri again, but now focuses more on his forehead. You can see there is a certain mark that looked rather faint since it is coloured almost the same as his skin. The group never noticed this until it’s been mentioned by the merman, they just thought s a scar or tattoo of some sort.“This? This is Moi’s birthmark. Moi has this ever since Moi can remember!” Salieri refute the merman’s accusations.An idea pops on Alex’s mind, since the merman doesn’t allow them to pass through, why don’t they bring them a “reason” on passing through?“We forgot to mention, but we have captured one of the pirate’s crew right here! We wish to interrogate
“I would like to thank you for your help to Oceania Kingdom and even went out your way to bring the vile pirates to our doorstep yourselves. Is there anything that our kingdom can do to repay your troubles?” Ch’tyuru expresses her gratitude.“We have been painstakingly captured this pirate alive, in exchange for a certain information.” Alex says. “We would like to know about your ends of the agreement you’ve made with Port Apenai 10 years ago.”The serene atmosphere suddenly vanishes. Ch’tyuru expression changed from soft and caring into a stern one. A heavy silence filled the air around the chamber.Alex’s group looked rather restless especially Alex. Who in hindsight, thought that it might be a bit too direct and too early to bring up the topic of Port Apenai’s agreement.The pressure continues until Ch’tyuru breaks the silence.“So, it is truly happened, that armada are in possession of the demons…” Ch’tyuru ponders to herself. “We pre
Alex and his heroes party offered their assistance to give protection to Oceania Kingdom. He made that vow in order to save his mate, Saliery from being taken away from him. More than that, Alex hoped to recover the agreement made ten years ago between Oceania Kingdom and Nousant Kingdom. Knowing that there were some strange cases previously happened in Port Apenai and new information started to gather to Alex’s sense, Alex got an idea.Alex convinced Ch’tyuru that he would do his best to regain the friendly alliance again. He planned to capture the pirates, the responsible party that exploited the resource of Oceania Kingdom. Also, the government at Port Apenai, the ones that broke the sacred alliances between the two kingdom. To begin with his plan, Alex wanted to have Ch’tyuru permission to execute his mission to capture the pirates and brought them all to be judged by Oceania Kingdom. The Queen nodded with hope allowing Alex’s party to start the hunt. Ch’tyuru asked her merman gua
Alex’s party arrived at the bar and they were still outside. They heard loud laughter of men having a joy from inside the bar. Alex ordered Rasheed, Helene, and Stella to keep watching from outside and patrolling the surrounding area while Alex and the rest went inside the bar.As Alex, Germio, Pandora, and Saliery came inside, they could see lots of men were drunk in their happy face. But they could not find the bold-looking man with the eyepatch. Alex and his friends took a seat in an empty table and they ordered some light drinks.“Why you won’t let me get some beers!?” Germio was mad in disappointment.“Come on, man. We’re here for something else, right?” responded Alex with low voice. He did not want his intention to be recognized by the group of men.While Alex mingled with crowd of people in the bar, he tried to stay focused and listened to the crowd. He might not be able to grasp all the topics of their talking, but some of them were talking about the man with an eyepatch. Ale
