Chapter 157 - Birthday (1/2)
_________________________________________________
[Crow point of view]
And here we are, going into the ancient tunnel one last time as to investigate for ourselves the mysterious mermaid that is told to us by the guild master
Ash did mention that he found an underground lake, and his upgraded ice missile shark is thank to the magic core he found it here, but alas
”There's nothing here” [Aries]
”I don't know whether that's a good sign or not” [Crow]
”Quite frankly, it felt like a bad sign for me, but then again, let just hope nothing bad will happen” [Lisa]
”Agree, best we can do is tell Queen Rinz to send periodic team to check on this lake” [Saint Louis]
But I wonder something, Ash did mention that his teacher claims the mermaid kingdom do exist, and there are reports of mermaid showing in Rock and Sea dungeon, but here, never? Does that mean the dungeon is connected to the ancient tunnel way more extensively than what research believe? And if so, how and why did the traveler king does that?
It's strange if it's only meant to ease the original ten heroes moving around, perhaps, there's more to this than meet the eye

After all of us head back to the orphanage, I make a call
”Yes, I will...” [Mira]
”Greet, see you soon” [Ash]
”...” [Mira]
”The line disconnected” [Diana]
”Such wonder... and here I thought only Saintess Rumia capable of such feat!” [Khamishah]
”That makes me want to meet her” [Ash]
The line between the two Housey are still weak and unstable. Even with the upgraded Housey, I can only get a minute call to orphanage in Malsia. Other will think it is a major milestone achieve, and in a sense, it is, but as someone from earth who basically have uninterrupted phone call whenever and wherever you go, it's pretty frustrating, which is why I need to make this telephone ASAP. (And a sidenote also the pistol, the staff user really wanted it)
”We can see Seo Ah and other soon!” [Elise]
”How exciting” [Kara]
”Well, the plan is there but let not get too ahead of ourselves” [Ash]
I really wanted to make a party to show my appreciation to those helping us out, and I will be inviting Mira and the other as well. Formal letter is still needed but it's good that I can head up to her in advance
”How about you make it during my birthday?” [Diana]
”You will be busy, so no. Plus, I have to show my appreciation to you as well. And no, I don't want to go to the castle celebrating your birthday, can't stand those nasty eyes” [Ash]
”Actually...” [Diana]
Diana tell us something outrageous
”Mahsuri, can you put a great seal?” [Ash]
”...” [Mahsuri]
”Rude!” [Diana]
”Don't be like that, you know how she is” [Ash]
”Don't pretend like you don't know who I am calling rude just now!” [Diana]
”But, to make your debutante party here is...” [Ash]
”Well, I do have other plan, not only to the orphanage, but to this place in general as well” [Diana]
”Calypso, can you make a great tree seal?” [Ash]
”I can and I can't, so nope” [Calypso]
”That sure is confusing” [Ash]
”Grrr...” [Diana]
”Ash, you really are rude, especially to a lady” [Khamishah]
”True” [Charlotte]
~Nodding in unison~
~Stab~
That really hurt, and by a lot
”Fine, I am all ear” [Ash]
