Alex, Momo, and Mary returned to the center of the town and sat on the bench, Alex noticed that Momo as if pasted her side on him, not that he complained, but the three of them was a slim people, the bench had more than enough space to accommodate.

"What do we do now?"

Mary sighed, leaning her back against the wooden surface, she no longer looked cold.

Beforehand she resembled someone who would not hesitate to kick Caeth's ass up way to the moon, but now she didn't even possibly can hurt him a finger.

She thought perhaps it's a tribulation, Caeth had committed despicable action and God punished him for it.

"This Jewel... Ms. Mary, if I don't mind asking, who is she?"

Alex had heard that the cause of the young man's uproar was the letter he received from Jewel's parents, apparently, Jewel had escaped the town, related to someone named Jorey.

"Jewel is Caeth's best friend since childhood, and they are together now... Jewel... loves Caeth, it's not even a secret how much she has the affection for him..." Mary looked toward the area in front of them, she said, "it's hard for me to accept him play behind Jewel's back, Olivia is no doubt an attractive and beautiful woman, but she's not worth compare to Jewel."

"I mean... you already have a woman as gentle as Jewel... what do you even lack of now?"

People's heart was something difficult to uncover, unpredictable, a man and a woman in a relationship, they might appear affectionate but who knew what the real thought they held to each other, Alex had experienced it himself... perhaps, she had long dissatisfied of him but didn't want to say anything... in the end, the accumulated negative emotions exploded, resulting of her breaking up with him.

To everyone, perhaps this Jewel was a perfect girl, and Caeth should be grateful she's his woman, but eventually, he might have dissatisfaction toward her and confided that lacking into the other woman's embrace.

But then again, it was just a speculation, what happened really, only Great Lord and Caeth who knew...

"By the way, what to do now? How should we look for Olivia?"

Momo bit her lips, worriedly glanced at the older man on her side.

"Well, if she returned to her home, there was nothing to worry about, she was a hundred percent physically fine... what I am worried about if she didn't return to her home, then she could be anywhere, doing Great Lord know what..."

"Alex, are you afraid she is... you know... mentally unstable?"

"It's the worst possibility, I mean, you told me that Nyantaa is deeply traumatic, why Olivia would be any different?"

Right, Olivia's injury was even more terrible than Nyantaa, without Ygdrassil seed, they would be helpless to do anything.

At this moment, Mary sighed and stood up from the bench, looking at them with a tired smile.

"Well, I really need a break, I am going to a... friend house, maybe I can also search for information about Olivia..."

"Alright, we just return to the Cottage..."

Alex and Momo bid goodbye with Mary, both went on the separate directions.

On the way back to the resting place, Momo had been hugging Alex's arm, the man skipped a heartbeat because he could feel the outline of her front pressed against his arm.

What's going on? Did she finally give up on her desire and decided to be intimated with him?

If it was true... then what course of action he should take? Her age still a huge problem for him, albeit no one would arrest him for having intercourse with 14 years old girl, his mental still said a big 'NO', at least wait until she's 18 or 19, then if he wanted to be a beast, then be a beast.

"Alex..."

"Yeah?"

Oh, Great Lord, her voice was so soft, so easy to charm someone, so easy to make a mistake.

Right, right, he's the adult one, he needed to become a better example for her.

"Can you..."

Alex could sense the hesitation in her tone, thinking his guess was not far off the mark perhaps.

"Alex, can you... do what Caeth did?"

"..."

What Caeth did? Which was she referring to?

"Momo, you may want to be more specific, because I can get the wrong idea here..."

Momo wrinkled her eyebrows as she looked at him, then somewhat she curled her lips, her hands on his arm were tightened.

"What are you thinking about now?"

Oof! Did she forget she possessed a super strength?!

"Haha... nothing, nothing, I assumed you're referring to his action abandoning Nyantaa?"

A mere mention of that, Momo's grip suddenly loosened, Alex glanced toward her and noticed her downcast expression.

Alex went silent for a while before letting out a gentle smile, he said while facing his front.

"If it is in a normal situation, perhaps I couldn't... if it at the cost of my friend's life, let alone someone very dear to me, I can't leave them behind... no matter their death mean sacrifice for a greater good or something... because I know, their death will haunt for me the rest of my life... might as well die together at that time..."

Momo widened her eyes, couldn't help but hugged Alex's arm closer.

"I... I know, right? It's a selfish behavior such as abandoning your friend..."

Alex shook his head.

"On the contrary, staying behind and die together is selfish... because I don't want to be held accountable for their death, because I don't want to suffer... I decided to die along..."

"Momo, as long as people live, they can do so much like avenging their comrade death, but that responsible... I don't think I can carry it on my shoulder... if... I am a normal person..."

"But now... I have system... and I am responsible for several lives; you, Shizuka, Dick, Jason, and Damian, if I died, then all of you would die together with me... therefore I possibly can't be reckless; when the time to choose between the lives of one of you or mine is presented, I will not hesitate to pick the later..."

"Of course, when that time really comes, I won't let you suffer, at most I will send you back to your world..."

"..."

Momo never thought it in that way... a power to summon people from a different world, she thought it was a sort of arrogant, despicable thing to turn people into someone's servant, a slave if you may, the master had a grip upon their lives after all, but one thing she failed to put inside the picture, that was the personality of the master himself; if he was a cold-hearted person, he would regard their life as a mere cannon fodder, he thought was nothing important but his own life, but if he was a kind person, he would regard this as a burden instead, making him must become extra careful as now his life also held dominion over others.

For a cold-hearted person, if he died, he got nothing to worry about, these people he summoned were a tool anyway, so be it if they died together with him, but for a kind person, such idea was horrific for them, his death meant he would drag along the people he had summoned, how such person had not become paranoia was already a wonder.

Momo clutched Alex's arm, she thought which person Alex was; the cold-hearted one... or the kind one?

But she did hope, that kind of terrible situation... didn't come to them in the future... because she was afraid to know the truth...

She was afraid... for the answer.

Soon Alex and Momo arrived at the Cottage, strolled on the hall toward their room.

"Elliot... come on... have you not satisfied?"

"Sister... please, just a little bit more..."

As they were about to open the door, Alexis' embarrassed tone and Elliot's frantic voice breached through the cover.

"Well, what do you want to do next?"

"Ah, hold this... right, oh, smile a bit, it's not like you can do this every day, yes, yes just like that..."

Alex and Momo exchanged glances, a shock was all over their faces.

Did the pair of brother and sister finally break through the forbidden boundary?! Or... or... they had been like this since a long time ago?!

Alex wrinkled his eyebrows, incest was not something uncommon back on Earth, there were cases where a son slept with his mother, a father banged his daughter, most of them ended up in jail or rehabilitation facility though.

As for Alex himself, he thought such a relationship was unseemingly... he was unable to understand how a son, or any family in general, regarded their own member as a romantic partner; unless they lived in an isolated island or secluded forest...

And let alone the offspring of their relationship could result in gene defecation due to recessive alleles, and Alex believed only Adam and Eve that didn't have them.

Meanwhile, Momo was very excited, she had tasted Alexis' bountiful breast last night, those mammaries could feed 4 babies and would still have leftover to make ice cream, it's not strange for Elliot himself could able to resist this... but what most important, brother and sister relationship was actually hot... anything forbidden was hot...

"Let's... let's take a peek..."

Momo drooled while tried to open the door slightly, Alex helplessly shook his head before pinching her ear, the devilukian yelped, but before she could protest, Alex already grabbed the handle and pushed open the door.

Inside, Alexis was lying on the bed with her back faced their side, she had one hand supporting her head while the other hand apparently grabbed a flower, meanwhile, Elliot was in front of her, Alex's phone within his hold.

And what most important, both of them wore clothes.

*Snap! Snap! Snap!*

Elliot excitedly moved about and took a picture of Alexis, the latter was red on the face, begrudgingly stared at the younger brother but eventually didn't prevent him at all.

"..."

Momo twitched the corner of her lips, stood with absentminded expression, meanwhile, Alex just shrugged, he had the feeling these two were innocent enough for that kind of relationship.

"Hm? Oh, Alex, Momo, you back!"

"Ah?!"

Elliot greeted them with a big grin, while Alexis quickly stood up from the bed and awkwardly tried to explain the situation, now her entire body was red, it's like she turned into a bag of blood.

"Alex, look, my sister is quite adorable!"

Elliot dashed toward Alex's side and quickly showed him the picture he had taken, it's only one picture because Alex had locked his Galery.

In the picture, Alexis had a strange smile, somewhere in the middle of shy and gentle, but there was no denying her valiant making and beautiful appearance made the woman inside the picture absolutely stunning, if this was Earth, she could become the cover girl of any fashion, sport, or even about automotive.

"Ah..."

Alexis covered her own face, really couldn't bear Alex and Momo's appreciation of her embarrassing scene.

"Oh, Alex, how is it? Have you found Olivia?"

Elliot gave the phone back to Alex, then he asked with slight concern.

"No, but we decided to think about that later, this was her town after all, even if she lost, she ought to be in no harm..."

Alexis and Elliot glanced at each other, then looked back at Alex and nodded.

"Now, let's talk about the Wyvern..."

The pair of brother and sister immediately went tensed, the atmosphere in the room also became serious.

"You said before that you have a way to get the Wyvern's feces without having to fight the monster, what is it?"

Alexis nodded and quickly explained it to Alex.

In short, the Wyvern had a weakness, or more like a natural enemy, a monster called Zuu, once a large bird whose beak had regressed, turning into sharp teeth resembled an alligator. The bird's feather was colorful in the past but now turned completely black, it could fly extremely fast.

Long ago, Zuu was the strongest monster in Silverback mountain, it was the overlord until a strange beast, who had never been seen before in the area, taking over the entire mountain, chasing away the bird from its nest at the top of the mountain and since then, Zuu held a grudge toward that monster, which precisely the wyvern.

For long Zuu and Wyvern were in the war, the former tried to take over its once long nest and the latter guarded it, the Zuu was weaker than the Wyvern, every wave of assault only ended up it with the Wyvern prevailed every time.

That's also the reason why the once elegant and proud Zuu turned into a sinister-like bird, sharp beak and hideous feather to attack the Wyvern on the night.

But it also rumored that Zuu had long been extinguished, never made any appearance again according to the people who hunted at Silverback mountain, but Alexis and Elliot actually got a news Zuu still alive, hiding deep inside the cave somewhere in Silverback mountain.

They tried to find the monster and lured it out to attract the Wyvern, this plan involved a man called Mr. Barrel, the owner of the coliseum in Eldorado Town, said that the man had a rare monster called Red Pig, it's the favorite of any carnivore monsters, even Zuu and Wyvern couldn't resist to hunt them down.

Alexis and Elliot planned to lure both monsters out from their area through this Red Pig, hoping the monsters would fight over the Red Pig.

The problem was they cannot carry the Red Pig inside any cage because there was no ship that strong enough to cross it over the sea, to travel to the Silverback mountain, they could only charter a boat, this also meant they must keep the Red Pig safe from other monsters by the time they landed, separating them into a four group; one protects the Red Pig, another search for the Zuu and lured it out, the third lured the Wyvern from its nest, and the last one stole the Wyvern's feces.

Also, the Red Pig was an expensive specimen, they didn't know whether they could afford it...

Their plan made Alex remembered Jurassic Park's movie, where the staff fed the Tyrex with a goat.

No wonder Alexis and Elliot had trouble to hire people, this was no different than a suicide task, forget about the goblins and Old Woodlands, even if they succeeded, the chance of them getting the Wyvern's feces practically zero.

"Huh... what if this Zuu indeed dead? Then you would have to face the Wyvern nonetheless..."

Alexis bitterly smiled, shaking her head.

"If I still had Lionel Sidonis, I could use its power to slain the Wyvern, or maybe just injuring it, now... I am not so confident..."

"How much the time you need to steal the Wyvern's feces?"

"Well, not long, besides that's not the case, first, although Zuu and Wyvern definitely will ignore the human once they discovered the Red Pig, with both of their speed of flight, it's a small chance anyone can outrun them, let alone luring them, and if there is no Zuu, the Wyvern definitely hunt us before we can escape the island, but if Zuu nearby, these two mortal enemies could fight to buy us some time to get away..."

Alexis sighed, looking upward toward the ceiling, somewhat bore a lamented tone.

"I know it's an impossible task, but... at least we must try... otherwise, our mother..."

Elliot grasped her hand and gave a comforting smile.

Momo knitted her forehead, then she said.

"I can make a sturdy wooden cage for the Red Pig, how powerful this Wyvern?"

"Very, its strength perhaps comparable to the Master Rank Warrior or Mage, a wooden cage will break the moment it strikes the Red Pig."

"How about if we can use the Tear Rune to strengthen the defense of the cage?" Alex said.

Alexis startled, Elliot answered in her place.

"Depend on the quality of the Tear Rune, it can buy you extra seconds, but I don't think it will be more than 10... besides, I don't think there is a tool to help utilize the Tear Rune in that way, at least not that I know of."

"Hmm..."

Four of them began to ponder until breakfast time came, Momo and Alexis went back to Mary's house as Shizuka told Alex through the earpiece that Mary's servants had made breakfast for them.

She also mentioned that Nyantaa had woken up, completely healed from her wounds, except she still barely showed emotion.

Momo had mentioned to Alex Nyantaa's strange situation, many people suffered a stroke of bad luck whenever they neared her.

It made Alex remembered a superstitious about a black cat that could give anyone a misfortune, perhaps that also Nyantaa's case?

Nevertheless, the catgirl was enough to trig Alex's curiosity, Nuon said both Nyantaa and Olivia could help him in his journey, he definitely would strive to know for what reason.

It's about 8 am in the morning, the gang went out from the Cottage and Mary's house to meet at this tavern called Vurn, the front part of the building reminded Alex of one of those drinking place back at the 18th-century; the log-constituted building, a long and narrow porch supported by bricks, two-story building with a couple of chimney on the roof.

The inside was even more so; a bartender place with stools lined up in front of it, various sizes of tables and chairs at the main room, loud laughers and a gentle ballad, a strong scent of ale and beer intoxicated the house.

The soldiers were excited, Elliot cheered, Shizuka didn't have much reaction, neither also Alexis, Momo squinted her eyes and wrinkled her nose.

But Alex... he smelled something... familiar, so familiar... no, not the alcohol from the ale... something bitter, but he knew it made life so much better.

Right, there was no doubt, he couldn't believe this world had this drink, his friend of many sleepless days...

A coffee!!!

(***)

Ordering snacks and drinks, Alex sipped on the warm black liquid, oof, his eyes closed enjoying it.

"So what's the plan for today?"

Momo giggled at Alex's reaction, she herself found coffee particularly good, but never overreacted like that.

"Alright," Alex put down his cup and swept his eyes toward the people around the table, "there are few things that need to be done, first, buy information from Baba, I handle this together with Dick."

"Second, shopping, there are several items I wish to acquire, regarding the detail, I had told Momo; Alexis, Elliot, and Jason, you can accompany her."

"Third, look for Olivia, I'll give this assignment to Shizuka and Damian; if you have known her position, do not go after her, reported it to me first and let me consider."

"Is there any question?"

"Alex, what about Nyantaa?" Shizuka said.

"Mary is going to take care of her, and after I take care of my business, I'll going to visit her later..."

"Ooh..." the soldiers let out a whistle, even Elliot smirked at him.

"?" Alexis confusedly looked at them.

Alex laughed a bit, throwing a piece of nuts toward these perverted people.

"Come on, is not that kind of visit, consider it like a hospital visit."

"Yeah, sure... remember don't over the visitation hours limit..."

Looking at Elliot such winked at him, Alex couldn't help but widely grinned, somewhat also became helpless, the atmosphere of the area was already clamoring with laughter, their presence added up an extra flavor in it.

Spending time about an hour, the gang prepared to leave, at this moment, a person came strolled in from the tavern's gate.

Her pink hair fell loosely onto her right shoulder, the left side of her hair had been combed diagonally.

A big bow hung on her left shoulder, a brown coat over her fit yet curvaceous body.

The gang immediately stunned over this person's appearance, Shizuka and Damian looked at each other.

Mission accomplish?
