Hearing that words, Stella began to rethink. Indeed she wanted to stay with Alex but she did not want to push herself more. “I needed to take care of Mephy. I wanted to go back to the Kingdom.” Stella decided to spit that words out of her lips.
Feeling disappointed, Alex did not want to force Stella. “Aww, alright then. If you really insist.” Alex slowly walked closer to Stella and gave her a hug. Stella did not expect that coming but instead she felt very happy.But later, Stella began to yell and pushed Alex away from her. “That’s enough! Go away now!”“I’m going then. See you later!” Alex walked away. He gave his bright smile while waving at Stella from distance.“Take care … “ Stella responded but she said it with low voice. She hoped that Alex and the gang would do well.After some times of preparation, Alex’s team and the dwarves were ready to set on the journey. Alex led his team while Lucius led his dwarves squad.“So, StAlex’s group and the dwarves were digging the cave with enthusiasm. The rumbling sounds of the clashing pick axe with the stones made a noisy music echoing inside the cave. The cave began to shine brighter as more mana stones were discovered more. They have been digging for more than an hour and they have collected enough to be taken back home to the village.“Alright fellas, let’s take a break for a while!” ordered Lucius to the group of miners. “Save your energy to dig more after we have lunch. So, It’s Lunch time!”The dwarves stopped digging as they obeyed the command of their chief. They put their pickaxe and wrapped some mana stones to their bags. They followed the chief leading them to the outside of the cave to have a fresh air of the nature. Alex’s groups also followed the dwarves from behind.Getting back to the nature, they began to gather up and made some spaces to set up their picnic venue. Feeling so happy, they began to enjoy their meal time while listening to the sound
“Sir Hero, please let me go!” Helene screamed while trying to push Alex.“Oh sorry, Hel! It is just a reflex,” responded Alex trying to avoid being called pervert. But the Saintess never said that to Alex. Alex quickly made distance with Helene.Helene was still blushing but she could not hide her happy face after knowing that Alex looked fine and healthy. “I’m so glad to see you again, Sir Hero. How are you doing?” The sound of the Saintess soothed Alex’s mind for a bit.Alex tried to take a little breath and he answered Helene’s question with ease. “I’m doing great. Together with my friends, we have been through interesting adventures. Wanna hear me out?”“Oh sure. But first, please allow me to invite you to come inside the Shrine. You must be tired after a long trip. Allow me to treat you with hospitality.” Helene persuaded Alex.Alex nodded in joy and he followed the Saintess to walk inside the Shrine. Alex were asked to sit down in a guest room to wait for Helene to serve him dri
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 waiting
In 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
