"Who is this man? Though judging by the situation I believe he is the one that try to attack us" [Azumi]

"True, there are three of them, but we kill two and manage to capture this one through ambushing them" [Usagina]

"If we haven't, this guy is as good as dead right now" [Kucin]

"True enough" [Filaurel]

"Are there any other that try to pursue us?" [Azumi]

"Filaurel and Kucin search magic indicate there are none left, but I believe we should still exercise caution" [Usagina]

"True, rule of thumb, if you see a cockroach, assume thirty other are there" [Azumi]

"This will be a long journey" [Kucin]

"Agree" [Filaurel]

With that, Aqua and Fizumi turned off their barrier surrounding the carriage, and Fizumi in addition to the anti magic chain attached to the mage, also put on a barrier surrounding that mage, as to keep on watching him and also prevent him from doing anything funny

After everything settle down, they resume their journey and when night time come for them to unwind for a little, Azumi approach Alfin

"Alfin, here you go" [Azumi]

Azumi take out a magic core that he get from killing the slime, now all eyes are directed toward the magic core

"Why did you give me?" [Alfin]

"Isn't it obvious, it's for you" [Azumi]

"It's alright, I think for this magic core, someone like you will benefit more rather than me" [Alfin]

"Are you sure?" [Azumi]

"Yes, your keris haven't got any enhancement since... Now that I think about it when is the last time you modify your keris?" [Alfin]

"Who knew, maybe 5 years ago?" [Azumi]

"Unbelievable, to think that the royal bodyguard doesn't even maintain his weapon. Don't take lightly of your job Azumi!" [Aurora]

"Not like I needed to, I can use all element of magic. Things like weapon enhancement is kinda useless to me" [Azumi]

"It's true that it's useless for you, but you should enhance your keris, for Princess Alfin sake!" [Usagina]

"Well, I have thought of giving another magic core to Fizumi, so as for this one, I guess I will use it to further augmented my Keris" [Azumi]

"So in short, we have to enhance and augmented this two magic core, the chimera magic core, the dust Vulture magic core and also restoration of the Ice Queen magic core. I can only imagine the amount of sleep we will miss" [Alfin]

"We?" [Azumi]

"Don't you DARE leave me in this situation my loyal bodyguard" [Alfin]

"Joking" [Azumi]

"Oh really!" [Alfin]

"Well not only that, once we arrive at the capital, we have to tell King Edward about event happening in Mesembryanthemum, getting the information from Glimary and that male mage just now, possibly having to deal with the embassy of Aster, the school and also to get the approval from other spirit" [Azumi]

"Yeah, and also to search the whereabouts of the other two spirit, Fire spirit Phoenix and also Az the time keeper" [Alfin]

"Brother, Sis Alfin, will you guys be alright? Having this much work to do" [Kucin]

"It's fine, we are used to it" [Azumi]

"Just leave extracting the information to us, the first knight squad" [Aurora]

"And as for the school, leave it to me. Plus Lady Grais will most likely be freed from any sort of punishment, so I have her to help me!" [Usagina]

"If only we have a way to help..." [Guz]

"True..." [Blade]

"Don't worry too much about it, you are still a students, and as such, Azumi and I would love if you focus more on your study" [Alfin]

"Yeah, just leave the adult stuff to the adult" [Azumi]

"..." [Emma]

"Something wrong Emma?" [Lydia]

"Well..." [Emma]

"Are you worrying about something?" [Blanc]

"Well, since Mother Theresia was someone from the church, I wonder if the orphanage is currently alright. I can't help but to feel something bad will happen" [Emma]

"!" [Other]

"While I don't think King Edward will do something funny to the orphanage..." [Azumi]

"The other noble, and also someone from the Kingdom of Aster might not be as nice" [Kucin]

"To think something so important slip my mind!" [Alfin]

"Relax, worrying too much now will only have a decremented effect, King Edward must have take some action to ensure their safety, not only that, the adventure guild in the capital have a good relationship with the orphanage, so guild master Karonlir will also take some form of action" [Usagina]

"True, the best we can do right now is hope for the best and arrive safely as soon as possible without wearing us down in the process" [Aurora]

"Both of them are right" [Aqua]

"Well, that's true. For now, all of you should just rest to restore back your stamina and mana" [Azumi]

"Looks whose talking! You should rest the most out of all of us here!" [Alfin]

"True, and same goes to Filaurel. The same goes to Usagina and Kucin" [Aurora]

"If Captain said so" [Filaurel]

"Brother, let just rest shall we" [Kucin]

"Alright then, I'll leave today night watch to you guys" [Azumi]

With that, they have their rest for the second day before resuming early in the morning. 

With nothing significant happening throughout the journey, the arrive at the capital four days after departure from Mesembryanthemum
