Waking up early in the morning, and a beam of sunlight entered the room from the window and directed at my face. Irritated from the light. I turned around and buried myself under the blanket.

“Wake up, Charlotte… It's already morning.”

“Umm~”

After hearing my groaning voice. My mother walked closer and tried to manually wake me up by forcefully taking off my comfy blanket.

“Wake up already!”

“So cold! I don’t want to wake up yet…”

I complained and pulled the blanket from my mother's hand.

“What should I do with this girl? If this continues, she will become a recluse.”

“I think it's fine for her to sleep until afternoon… It's her day off after all.”

The one speaking was my father.

“This is why your child is becoming lazy day after day. You should stop spoiling her.”

“I’m not spoiling her… I thought giving her a little freedom while she is on a day off was fine. She has school and you’re taking her to photo shoots. You should compromise on what she feels sometimes.”

    An explosive sound echoed on the upper floor. I’m currently on my way up, running on the stairs to the 27th floor. Is that explosion from Kisara? Reaching the 27th, there were several unconscious bodies on the floor. As I glanced closely, I saw burns that were possibly from Kisara’s fire ability. Good, I don’t have to deal with them. All I have to do is run as fast as I can to the top floor. I heard rushing stomps in the corridor. I immediately hid inside one of the rooms. I learned to take a peak and saw a squad of knights in full gear. There are about 30 of them and they are all in a hurry. “There was a demon kind that entered the Bell tower. Hurry up!” There was a. demon kind in the city. They were probably after the divine gem too. Red hurry up!! Choco nags me. There was no way I would get out of my hiding spot. I can’t waste my energy fighting these goons. Avoid contact with the enemy as much as possible. I never thought that you have a cowardly side. “It’s called strate

    (Yuna’s perspective.) Ever since I was little, I thought everyone was insane. Everyone around me is working. Working as if they don’t think at all. Everyone is moving by someone’s order. Moving as if there was an invisible chain wrapped around their necks. Is everyone insane to throw their freedom away? Or is it just me who thinks like this? I questioned every day. My mother and father were both normal farmers until one day our land was destroyed by a demon kind. Having no place to go, the inquisition took us and made my parents workers. Having never been paid money, we can live in the city as long as we work. Given daily with stale tasteless bread. We are forced to mine fuel coal every single day. How are they allowing this to happen? My parents and everyone. I was baffled by that realization. As someone who was born from the outside. I do have dreams. I want to go out and see the world for myself. There was a book I used to read. A book containing wonderful places around the wo

    “What are they doing inside the city?!” “The city was supposed to be protected by a magical barrier, right?” “Run!” “Go to the nearest evacuation center.” The residents are immediately put into a state of panic. They escaped as fast as they could. Unfortunately, a few residences are being taken by the demon kind and killed. Exterminators immediately deployed. Mercenaries in the crowd drew their weapons and joined the fight to defend the city. “Mommy! Mommy!” The little girl gets lost in the wave of panicking people. Crying out loud, searching for her mother. Wailing loudly, she attracted a demon kind to notice her. A 5 ft tall lizard demon appeared to her. Her face was filled with terror. She tried to run away but tripped because of her haste. Falling on the floor tile with a thud. “Urg…” She turned her eyes to her knee and saw blood spilling out. The lizard opened its mouth widely and threw its long tongue. “Not on the hero’s watch!!” A saber of light cut down the lizard's

    The huge ball of flames unleashed by Red’s dagger quickly rushes to Rio. The demon girl defended herself by creating a wall of thick ice. Upon the two contacts of the elements. Thick steam spread around, limiting their vision. This resulted in Red having disadvantages. Unlike Red, Rio does have sharp senses. Her ears could hear the smallest footsteps and her nose could scent specific smells from miles away. Added to her ability to detect magical presence or energy around her. The thick steam becomes a thick smokescreen. Red took advantage without thinking. Or maybe he was consumed by anger and he wasn’t able to calm himself. All he wanted to do was exterminate Rio at that very moment. Red kicks the ground and goes straight to Rio’s back. By tracking Red’s energy. She already knew where the direction he was going. Rio intercepted with an upper kick, hitting Red’s jaws. After being hit, Red ignored the pain and immediately recovered to attack again. Yet, the result was the same. Rio i

    With the high priestess's order, I was freed from my chains. After a brief time of treatment and healing, I was invited to the headquarters to have a conversation with the high priestess. I had many questions on my mind. Like what does the knight of heaven even mean? Choco does say that I’m her knight, but I never further push her because it seems like a sensitive question and she is not ready to give me an answer. Kisara and Charlotte wanted to come along with me, but the high priestess insisted that she wanted to talk with me alone. Entering the headquarters chapel where she usually resides. She’s sitting on the chair commonly seen in the churches near the altar, her gaze fixed on the angelic statue. I bowed my head. “Like I said before… There is no need for formality. For starters, you could sit down here.” She tapped the seat beside her. I sat beside her awkwardly feeling a little uncomfortable. She is really nice and the one who saved my life. I was very grateful to her, bu

    I often think about waking up from a dream but at what point do we regain consciousness? Is it really when we wake up? Is it when we see familiar scenery and feel relieved that it was just a dream? “Mayu wake up… Mayu.” But… What if we don’t have a sense of reality even after waking up? … I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room. My head hurts. I rub my head with my hand and notice some differences. I’m laying in a bed? This place seems to be a room. “Am I dreaming?” I said and pinch my cheeks. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. “I guess, I’m not dreaming.” I can feel the pain I guess I’m really not dreaming. Recently I’m still inside that dangerous dungeon. How in a world did I come here? All I remember is Retto, Kuroe, and Lumina's last glance toward me and everything whited out. I heard the voices of singing birds from outside. I stand up from my bed and look at what I see from the window. The refreshing scenery makes me remember the countryside of Japan. Except this

    “Hayami Mayu welcome to Elesis.” Said Captain Yuri, and after that Rin brought me in, to spend the night with her. “Welcome to my home Mayu.” Rin gives me warm welcome to her home. Looking around the room, I feel like I can sleep here well. It's clean and tidy. More importantly, there is the bed. Inside the dungeon, I just sleep in thick moss and some monster fur. “Is this your room?” I asked. “Yes, the Elesis fort has female knights too so this is a residence for women.” “Ehh…” Rin then gets something from her closet and presented it to me. “Mayu this…” “What? Clothes!” “They’re clothes for you to wear now. As a girl wearing that dull-looking clothes is not good for you. A girl must always look cute. Not to mention you were naked when we found you floating in the sea.” Said Rin. My face started to become red because of embarrassment. My body grows up, I guess my clothes and equipment were destroyed during the process. Rin gets more clothes and gives them to me. “I have

    “Alright, this is probably enough…” Rin said while we are riding horseback. With us is Marry the healer. “Are they in this forest? Slime?” I asked. “Yes.” Maybe you are wondering why we are outside together. After a chaotic day, I left the fort with Marry and Rin. Because… “You want to go hunt monsters!?” “In the monster area?!” Rin and Marry were in a state of shock. They don’t really believe me when I said that I came from the Crystal dungeon. I already got the title of dragon slayer and assassin. Looks like they didn’t have the skill of status-check. If they have that skill, I guess explaining that I’m strong is easy. That’s why I wanted to show them that I can defeat monsters. “Yes” I replied. “No way! No way! It’s dangerous!” “I know, but it’s alright I can use some magic!” “But still…” Said Rn and hold both of my shoulders. I turn my head away and muttered: “I want to know about myself.” “Uh…” “My memory is Hazy so I want to confirm some things about myself and

I still feel fearful about what's going to happen to her.As usual, the restaurant was lively and has many customers. Sasa and Nana are steadily getting used to serving customers quickly.

    Chapter 340: True happiness (END)

    I have a dream… A very very long dream. A dream about me in the past. For a weird girl like me, childhood is rough. My family wasn’t as caring, but still, I’m grateful for the life they gave me.Without them, I would be unable to experience everything I’ve been through.Life comes in many flavors. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's bitter. Sour days always come and there is a stale, tasteless day of boredom.Back in Japan I only care about myself. I never thought that I would need someone at my side. I always think that I can do everything on my own.I keep proving that everyone else around me was wrong. I accumulate money and live alone. It was fun being able to do anything without someone yelling at you. This freedom and loop of happiness. Being a slave to pleasure is for sure. If not made moderate, it will surely destroy someone’s life.Where am I again? I see, I’m back in my house again.Waking up early in the morning, there as I wake up Marie and Shuri playing with Shirone and
