[Naoto point of view]
”So where's the harm of it?” [Mira]
”As someone who is always in the front line, that action of her will cause distraction I believe, so do you have any idea how to tackle this problem?” [Naoto]
Currently, I am asking Mira (with Princess Nurhaliza joining in the conversation as well) regarding Mrs Aries habit of constantly touching the necklace with her family photo in it. I have been working as an adventure ever since I was small, so I do know that such small distraction can cause huge problem, but Mira just giggle when I ask her this question, and she quickly approaches Mrs Aries who is right now having a mock sparring session with Kanji and his friends, as well as Seo Ah
”No more...” [Ex thug A]
”I give up” [Seo Ah]
”Dammit! One more time please!” [Kanji]
”Sure” [Aries]
”Hey, Mira is coming, I wonder why” [Ex thug C]
Mira approaches Mrs Aries and
”Question, if someone were to snatch this necklace of yours, what will you do?” [Mira]
”Heaven should be on their side to even attempt such a thing!” [Aries]
”I see, that's good then, keep it up!” [Mira]
””Why are you asking it?”” [Aries, Seo Ah]
”Just to make sure of something” [Mira]
Huh? Is that it? She didn't even ask for anything else! I come here to ask for advice regarding that necklace that can cause distraction and that is all?
”There, all done” [Mira]
”That's it!?” [Naoto]
”Yup, nothing else should be done” [Mira]
”Honestly speaking, I don't even see the problem to begin with” [Haliza]
”But small distraction like that can kill her!” [Naoto]
”True, but will it?” [Mira]
”Of course it will!” [Naoto]
”Well, from what I observe, it seems like she found a new source of strength” [Haliza]
”True, but someone stoic like you might not appreciate it that much” [Mira]
”That again...” [Naoto]
I give up, I just can't understand this sort of thing perfectly. I can read the mood perfectly well, I consider myself as considerate, but when it comes to emotional attachment like this, I can't explain it well to myself. I do believe logic should prevail over emotions in most situations, that's why I decided not to tell the emotional Ash about his siblings falling sick the first time we met in Kiserre. I do feel bad but it was the logical things to do during that time, but...
(Then again, these two have been saying the same thing to me, that I should be more flexible) [Naoto]
”Mrs Paladin, you're strong!” [Cat boy]
”As strong as Brother Ash!” [Elf boy]
”Dammit! Another loss” [Kanji]
”Please, just give up...” [Ex thug E]
”No! One more time!” [Kanji]
”I wanted to join!” [Teenage boy]
”Sure” [Aries]
A new source of strength. I wonder if it's the same as me looking after Kanji when our parent passed away?
~Birdie screech~
”So that's the metal bird golem you guys been talking about” [Aries]
”Ohh, we have a guest” [Kana]
Looks like they have come back. I wonder what they will tell

[Diana point of view]
The brainstorming session ends with a good note. It is getting late, so I should sleep first. Last time, I dream about my meeting with now Saintess Rumia, I wonder if the dream will continue
”So you can communicate with Goddess Achalasia herself!” [Young Diana]
”True, but I'm only telling you this because the goddess says you can be trusted!” [Young Rumia]
(Is she serious...) [Young Diana]
”You don't trust me, very well, watch this” [Young Rumia]
Performing a prayer sign, young Rumia asked the goddess for a meal to appear right in front of us and
~Poof~
”What!” [Young Diana]
