It's another bright and peaceful morning, even though it's still early but the citizen of Ether already started their activity and fill the town with laugh and friendly atmosphere.
"Good morning, Kawakami-dono," greeted Mai, she saw Kawakami on the cathedral back yard, watering the flowers.
"Good morning, Mai," he answered.
"Another beautiful day isn't it? All thanks to Lord Zeus' blessing," Mai added.
"You're right," Kawakami walked to a garden table and invited Mai to joining him enjoying a morning tea.
"How's your study going?" he asked, he knew Mai doing well, she's one of the best student he has.
"It's going well, but Kawakami-dono, why did you gave me D for the 'Honesty' Test??" Mai did pretty good for the other test but she always she sucked this one,
even though she think that she's a pretty honest person.
"You're honest to everyone around you, even to strangers, but you're not honest enough to yourself," he explained.
"To myself?" Mai is clueless; sometime she couldn't catch what Kawakami means.
"Anyway, how's him?" he changed topic.
"Him?" asked Mai.
"Sawamura-kun."
"Ah, he's doing well.... he's being stupid as ever."

"I'm sorry Akira," said Red to Akira when she about to head out to sell stuffs.
"Oh no, it wasn't your fault," They were talking about the lost diamond earlier, "I'm sure the Knights will find it."
"Yeah right, our Knights are reliable," Red knew it since long that Ether's Knight are dependable and honest, they'll soon notice them once the Knights found the diamond, "please be careful." Akira ride up her pecopeco cart and head off to the market.
Red feels anxious, for her friend's safety and... for the diamond. It was like Red has read about the similar diamond on an old record.

“Sigh,” morning isn’t the right time to feel depressed or sad, but that’s Eve felt right now.
She’s staring to the fountain at the little park, close with the royal castle, where she learn to be a gunslinger.
“It’s cloudy again, but It’s still a pleasant morning, isn’t?” said a man.
That was a familiar voice for Eve’s ears, “Ch-Chris-dono?!!”
“Good morning.”
Eve knew Chris since long, her family used to work for Chris Family.
"Did you have a nightmare?” asked Chris politely.
“N,no sir, not that…” Eve lowered her head to hide her face red.
“Hmmm, so how’s the training?”
“Ah…. That’s, that’s fine I guess,” Eve looking deep to the floor ground of the fountain, that question about training surely put her spirit low.
“It’s not going well I see.”
“Haha, Chris-dono you sure know everything,” replied Eve.
“I don’t, but that expression of your told me so,” he look at Eve with his sweet and tender smile on his face, making Eve fall for him even more.
“….I guess, I’m not cut out to be a gunslinger,” answered Eve, “I can’t hit my target, I’ve always missed it, no matter how hard I tried I keep missing. I want to be an assassin but I only passed the speed test and failed the rest.”
“Hm, you’re right, maybe you’re not cut out of it,” Chris agreed. Eve kind of expected him to encourage her, but it was like Chris shot her with a death bullet, straight to her heart.
“Anyway, I have to go, I have an important work to do,” and the gentleman walked away.
Eve clinched her hands, after saying those stuffs that bring her down now he’s going to leave? How rude.
“Eve,” Chris stopped his step, “With those legs of yours you should be able to move fast. You couldn’t move as fast as assassin does and a gunslinger doesn’t has a big advantage in a melee battle because their lack of attack power. But, Gunslinger’s weapons aren’t limited to the long riffle like the one you used in training, why not try using a hand guns and practicing for a middle-range battle, instead of long range battle. You can’t move as fast as assassin, but your bullets could, and you might hit your target before the dagger of the assassin slashes your throat.” The long speech of advice that Chris said to Eve gave her a spirit of 50k lady. She did get upset earlier, but look now, maybe Chris is the amazing man that often mentioned in a novel ‘Jeezuz’ Chris.
“THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHRIS-DONO!!” Eve’s thanks might be a little bit too loud, but who cares, at least she doesn’t, even if her voice made the entire Erebus city goes deaf.
“Oh, I almost forgot,” he added, “don’t try to shot your bullets to someone as caliber as Toujo-kun. A sweet looking assassin might be one of the most dangerous assassin around.”
*
“Hacchi!” Toujo sneeze, it’s either he caught a flu or someone talked about him. It’s dark, it’s cold, and he’s alone in this not-so-friendly room. He has been staying on his Master’s office for the whole night, doing the paper works that his stupid master abandoned for over a week.
“Knock! Knock!”
“Come in,” Toujo answered to the knocking door.
A familiar girl walking in, she brings a stray with breads and tea, “You okay?” she asked.
“Yes, I’m okay Ray and sorry for the trouble,” Toujo stand up from his office chair and helped the alchemist apprentice with her stray.
Toujo and Ray is an old friends, they knew each other’s since kids and often share their problems on their own masters.
“Now, where did your master go?” asked Ray.
“No idea,” Toujo sipped his lavender tea, Ray is an alchemist, her food and beverages tested the best.
“My Mater was around when your masters visited my lab and gave me this,” Ray took out a rolled canvas from her bag. Toujo was surprised that his master actually visited Ray’s lab and give her something instead of giving it to him directly.
Toujou take the rolled canvas and opened it, he wondered if it was something important.
He opened it.
Toujo almost spit on his tea.
“Stupid master,” he thought.
He burned the rolled canvas with a simple fire magic.
If his master comes back he swears he’ll kill his master.
Screwed the ero painting on the rolled canvas, who need that kind of stupid stuffs.

"HIYAAAAAATTTT!!!" Sawamura dashing away with his sword. He jumps, he gripped his sword harder, and landed it on the other man's face, but the man he's against is more skilled full. He hold Sawamura's attack just by holding his sword in one hand.
"Not.... strong.... enOUGH!!" Jun pushed back and swing his sword away, blowing Sawamura far far away. This morning Sawamura bragged Jun to have a fight with him.
"Sa-wa-mu-RRRRAAAA!!!" yelled the Knight Captain. "I know you're an idiot but your stupidity is far exceeds my expectation," everybody knows Sawamura is made by 45% confidence, 45% spirit, 9% luck, and 1% intelligent.
"What kind of stuffs did you learn at academy??!! YOU CAN'T EVEN SWING SWORD RIGHT!!!" Jun gave Sawamura an endless coaching.
"I'M SORRY, SPITZ CAPTAIN!! I WILL TRAIN HARDER!!" Sawamura kneeling down.
"whO thE HELL YOU CALLED SPITZ!?!!"
This get messy when the two of them met, thankfully Sanada was there to make the situation better...... or worse.....
"Well,well Jun~~" he try to hold Jun back, "there's nothing get angry about, the two of you are idiots so I guess it was a fair play?"
With no second thought Sawamura and Jun cast a Knight's magic spell and kick Sanada out of the training ground.
*
Seii take a nice a morning walk, she walked around at a forest near to Ether City.
With her little guitar she played and sing to a cheerful music "~~♫~~~♪~~"
She then stopped her tiny steps. She saw a green baby dragon in front of her, "What a rare sight," she thought.
Dragon is a creature which is hard to find and yet there's one right in front of her eyes. The green dragon notices her presence and run to the deep forest.
"Ah! Wait!" Seii's body moved by its own, she chased the green baby dragon, forgetting that there might me a monster in the deep forest.
*
Sanada landed on a watching tower, "Maaan, they hit me far," he mumbles. He stood up. He could see the beautiful landscape of Ether and its surroundings. He sees someone in white robe run entering the forest. He smile and dashes off to catch up with the traveler.

"How's things going?" Tetsu checking his troops who is on patrol.
"Report general! Nothing suspicious happen since last night, things are under control!" Officer Shane reported.
"Good work," answered Tetsu, "or no, you have been doing a splendid work lately, keep it up, officer shane."
Shane was so happy, he didn't realized that her face is burned red.
"..? Officer Shane you okay??" Tetsu who is not sensitive at heart didn't know why did shane's face turned red.
"N,no sir, I'm fine!"
"Well, I guess... I'll praise you with 2 days off, Next Monday & Tuesday, will be your day off, have fun," Tetsu put his hand on Shane's shoulder and smiles before he left. The line drew slowly on his lips, as if everything turned into a slow motion.

"Where are you going?" Claire asked.
Her husband is cooking at the kitchen, but his clothes are too fancy for doing house work.
"I'm going to the council in a hour," he answered.
"The hell with work," Claire mad, "you just came back and all you cared is that damned work of yours. Kazuya, I am your wife."
"I know and here I am cooking for you."

"RYOUSUKE-SENSEEEIII!!!" without knocking, Eve brag in to Ryousuke's office room.
"What is this? Where's your manner Eve?"
"Put 'manners' aside!" Eve dared to talked back to her Sensei.
"Wait.... did you just......."
"Ryousuke-sensei! Teach me how to use handguns! I wanna be a middle-range gunslinger!" Eve demanded.
Ryousuke didn't answer; he hit the table hard, almost broke it.
"oh no," eve just remembered how scary her sensei could be.
"Put manner aside?" a dark aura spreading everywhere, "you want to stop using the riffle? you want me to train you with handguns, but.. put manners aside??"
"Eve, my little kawaii student, who couldn't shot her target right," Ryousuke stood up from his chair, walking slowly, slowly, closer to Eve, he has a handgun in his hand.
"I appreciate your high spirit, but...." Ryousuke pointed his gun to Eve's forehead, "what will you do if I shoot my gun to your head right now?"
In a moment Eve believed Ryousuke already shot his gun and the bullet already made a hole in her head, she's alive but she feels like she's standing on hell's peek.
"....please........forgive......me, sen.....sei......"

Sawamura walking around the royal cathedral flower garden, looking down. He stare to the flowers with empty gaze, until a giant rock it him hard in the head.
“OORRAAA!!!! THAT WAS HURT YOU STU-----!!!!!” Sawamura almost shocked to death when he saw the culprit.
“I, what?!” replied Mai.
“N,No, nevermind!” Sawamura looked away, his cheek turned red.
“Bad day I see?” said Mai. The two of them sitting on a park chair, staring to the blue sky above them.
“Well, kinda….”
Sawamura and Mai then shared their story. Sawamura received a total defeat from the Knight’s captain, Jun. And Mai received a bad mark on her exams.
“What to do now? I should not feel down or else Lord Zeus will be mad but I can’t help it,” whinnied Mai.
“What about a special training?” a blonde girl appeared from the bucks, makes Sawamura & Mai jumped out from their chair.
“Ca-Carly-san?!” startled Mai.
“Car who??” Sawamura never seen this girl before. Mai then explained to Sawamura about Carly and her bald partner, Tanba.
“So, how’s it? The special trining?” asked the female monk, “don’t worry I’m a good teacher you know~”
Mai & Sawamura look to each others in the eyes, they have no idea about what carly talking about, but there’re stars inside their eyes, its sparkling bright. The Kids are excited for some adventure.

"Jun-dono, there's someone who would like to meet you," Rach bring a lady with her, the wizard lady insisted to met Jun now.
"Oh!" Jun is so pleased to see his fiancé’s face, but he noticed that there's something bothering Panda, "what brings you here?" he asked tenderly.
"Silva...." panda said sadly.
"What's with silva?"
"He has gone!"
Silva is the green baby dragon panda owned, she loves him so much, as much as she love Jun, or maybe she loves Silva even more.
But to hear that a pet hasn't come back in a night, it just a normal thing for Jun, that happened often right? and on the next day it'll come back to their home by itself.
"Don't worry about that, he'll comeback by afternoon," Jun said it lightly.
"Stupid Jun, I hate you!" Panda is mad at her fiancé, the wizard left the Knight alone.
Jun called out his fiancé, but panda ignored him.
*
“No, I can’t give my permission,” Kawakami refusing Carly’s idea to take the kids for a special training.
“Why not?! They want it, they’re ready for it, and they need it!” Carly insisted.
“Too dangerous! Do you think what kind of place Baylan Island[1]?! No, Too dangerous!” Kawakami remembered the uneasy feeling he had before, but by nature Kawakami is a worry-warrant man. Sawamura and Mai just watching Kawakami & Carly arguing at the background, they have nothing to say.
“Carly, please stop this,” Tanba trying to stop them, but Carly grabbed his collar instead.
“Me and this baldy will protect the kid, we will watch over them so please let us go to the Baylan Island!”
Kawakami fell silent. He watches carefully to Carly & the kid’s looks, “Fine, but you have to get permission from Jun-dono, or else I won’t permit you,” the priest finally give in.

Shunshin's gryphon flying, headed to east where Ether is located.
It'll take months to arrived at Ether by feet, 4-6 weeks by Pecopeco ride, and just a week by Gryphon. It's even faster by warp portal, but only wizard and priest who could open a warp portal.
From above Shunshin sees a tiny village, he thought of dropping by, it's time for him to feed his gryphon, and if he's lucky enough, he might find a good gift for his wife, Red.

Mai happily packing her stuffs to her bag, she’s so happy that finally she got a chance to go on an adventure. It was surprisingly easy when they tried to ask for permission from the Knight’s captain.
“Eh? You’ll go to Baylan Island for Training?” Jun said in disbelieve.
“Yes Sir! Carly-dono & tanba-dono will guide us, so please!” Sawamura begging for permission.
Jun didn’t give his answer right away, first he stare to the two monks, second he smiles, because Tanba & carly are an old friend of his. “Just go,” Jun said, “just make sure to comeback alive.”
Tomorrow morning, Kawakami will open a warp portal and send them to Izlude Town[1]. They’ll get stuffs they need on Izlude and then go to the Baylan Island[2] by boat from Izlude’s port.
“Lord Zeus, please bless us on our journey"’ Mai prayed.

The baby dragon come out from it and run to entering a cave,
Seii continue her pursue.
Sanada is forever lost, the lost track of the traveler.
"Shit, the day is setting dark already," he's getting worried and his instinct tell that the nocturnal monsters will soon wake up from their sleep.
Right when he thought he lost her, Sanada saw a white robe girl jumped out from the bushes and head off to a cave, "Oi! Wai---!!"
The girl disappears already.
Sanada chases her again, but his step stopped at the cave's mouth, "Was there always a cave here?"
'drap!drap!drap!' from afar could be heard the sound of Mandragora waking up from its sleep.
"Shit," no time to think, he have to get the traveler back now.

Using a secret pass way, Red enter her basement.
One by one she check the old archive which might contains the information about a legendary diamond.
She never realized how much time has passes everytime she's in her basement,

It's dark,
really dark,
Sanada hardly can see anything.
His feet kicks something, he get down to picked it up,
it was a torch.
He light it up.
and continue walking deeper inside the cave.
'Swaaaak!' Sanada gripped his feet to the ground, he took out his sword,
a group of familiar charging to his way.
He swing his sword, cutting the familiar split in to 2 parts,
but it was a quite an amount of familiar, it kinda took his time,
"Shit, where's she," Sanda getting even more uneasy, seeing the group of familiar earlier he believes it must be even more dangerous inside.
"UWAH!" a girl screamed from inside the cave.
"It's her!" Sanada thought. He run to the voice's source, as fast as she could.
"OI YOU OKAY?! WHERE ARE YOU?! ANSWER ME!" he yelled.
"Here! I'm here!" the girl answered.
There,
Sanda finally found her,
Seii is lying on the ground, hugging onto a baby dragon.
"What..... are..... you..... doing??" Sanada quite surprised when he found Seii, lying on the ground looking cheerful, as if he was getting worried for nothing.
"The ground is slippery so I tripped my feet, hehe," she answered.
"Whatever," the knight thought, "at least you're okay."
"Well, about that....." Seii try to stand up but keep falling due the slippery ground and the dragon's weight, Sanada lift her and helped her to stand.
"Thank you, my lord Knight," Seii bowing, still hugging the dragon with both of her hands.
"So now," she added," LET'S GO!!" she grabbed Sanada's hand and run.
"Wha-What?! What's going on?!!" The knight is clueless.
"Shut up and run!!" Seii run as if someone chases her.
But it is.
Sanada turned his head,
he saw 2 zombies chasing after them.
