"It's okay.... Eclipse Dragon Moonlight Restoration" Catherine then casted a mysterious blackish aura covered Catherine's entire body and her injuries then slowly healed.
"Amazing" Ryūsei happily stated.
"Thanks, it's a spell I learned from reading my grandma's spell book." Catherine happily replied.
"So where is your grandma???" Ryūsei asked.
"Like you grandpa..... grandma is no longer in the Elemental World...." Catherine replied but this time with a sadder tone.
"Well let's go eat as a family then, If they're not around in the future... then let's go eat together right now at least that memory would continue to go on" Shizen happily said and the others rejoiced.
"Chicken nuggets here we come!!!" Kasai and Shadow happily said in unison.
After the friendly spar between Ryūsei and Catherine, They all went out and ate at a restaurant. As they all eat they asked Catherine some questions about her.
"So Catherine, Who taught you to fight like that??" Shizen happily asked while he eats.
"It was my aunt who taught me how to fight....." Catherine replied but with a sadder tone.
"How about your father??? Doesn't he spend time with you???" Yuki asked with a more serious tone.
"Well Dad..... he's kinda.... busy... " Catherine muttered softly knowing like what'll happen.
"Busy????!! What's more important than spending time with family??!!!" Yuki yelled and she then glares at Ryūsei angrily.
"Why are you blaming it on me??!!!" Ryūsei yelled defending himself.
"You're the irresponsible grandfather here, I mean you could've raised him right, That's not cool dude." Kasai teased.
"I told you it's me but it's not me" Ryūsei replied.
"That doesn't make any sense??" Shizen replied.
"So...um... Catherine, What's the future like...." Ryūsei quickly asked trying to change the subject.
"Well ugh.... I can't tell you anything grandpa it'll affect the future if I leak out any information to the outcoming events." Catherine replied.
"I guess you can kinda let them know some minor details of the future." Jikan happily said interrupting Catherine.
"I'll just use my Elemental Art so whatever happens here won't affect the future." Jikan added.
"Can he actually do that??" Yuki whispered to Ryūsei.
"Pretty much yes" Ryūsei replied.
"Well in the future where I'm from.... The threat of Demons are no longer a problem." Catherine happily said.
"The current situation that the future is dealing with is the Corruption of Elementalist" Catherine added.
"Is it really that common???" Ryūsei asked.
"Yes, In the future corruption is the basic pandemic. It commonly causes a commotion in the Elemental World" Catherine replied.
"But we normally deal with them like it's a regular thing" Catherine added.
"Have you ever been corrupted before Catherine???" Yuki curiously asked.
"Not yet, Dad taught me to never give in too negative emotions even if all hopes are lost" Catherine happily replied.
"Your father sounds like a great man" Kayosha happily said.
"Even though someone here didn't raise him well in the future." Yuki sarcastically added glaring at Ryūsei.
"Are you still mad about that, I told you it's not me!!!" Ryūsei yelled once again defending himself.
"The future will be exciting!!! I can't wait, Right honey" Kasai happily teases Sora.
"Kasai.... not now...." Sora embarrassedly replied with her face blushingly red.
"Men, I can't wait for the future.
How many kids do you want to have honey" Kasai teased Sora once again with a smirk on his face.
"Kasai!!!!... C-C-Catherine didn't even mention us being t-t-together in the future" Sora embarrassedly replied once again but this time her face was more blushingly red.
"She doesn't need to tell me, Because your the only girl I'd like to be with in the future" Kasai happily said surprising everyone.
"Wait was that just a confession just now....." Kayosha surprisingly asked as she was shocked .
"Enough flirting already Kasai" Ryūsei annoyingly said.
"I came here to eat and you should eat as well unless you want Shadow eating all of the chicken nuggets!!!" Ryūsei added pointing his finger towards Shadow.
Kasai then looks at the table and he sees Shadow eating all of the chicken nuggets.
"Shadow!!!! Save some for me!!!!" Kasai yelled causing everyone to laugh.
After a while of eating, They payed the bills and went back home at the palace and after a while they all went to sleep.
~~~~ Inside the castle ~~~~
After a few hours Yuki then wakes up everyone and they headed to the living room.
"Why are you waking us up so early??? The Grand Shōtotsu doesn't start until a few hours." Kasai asked but he was a bit sleepy.
"It's best to wake up early in order for us to be more prepared" Shizen replied.
"I'm always ready-" Shadow then trips on the furniture and fells down on Yuki.
"Shadow!!! Get off me!!!!" Yuki yelled trying to get Shadow off her.
"You were saying" Shizen happily teased with a smirk on his face.
"I can't believe the Grand Shōtotsu will start later" Kayosha happily said sitting down on the sofa.
"Yeah, I can't wait to kick butt!!" Kasai happily said.
"Or get your butt kick" Kayosha happily teased causing Kasai to glare at her.
"Hey Yuki, Have you gotten any info about the Grand Shōtotsu on Dad??" Shizen asked.
"Sadly no, He didn't mention anything to me" Yuki replied.
"He said he wanted it to be a surprise to all who is participating" She added.
"What a bummer.... Dad's usually like that" Ryūsei replied.
"Well he is the King after all, We can't do anything about that" Shizen replied laying his back on a nearby wall.
"Yeah, How about you Ryūshi what will you do later??" Yuki happily asked.
"Me, Jikan and Catherine shall keep watch for the Corrupted Elementalist while you guys participate in the Grand Shōtotsu" Ryūshi happily replied.
"I'll keep watch around the Kingdom of Ryūgū and Ryūshi shall keep watch inside the arena." Jikan added.
"Wait a minute, Why can't I keep watch on the Kingdom-" Ryūshi complained but he was then Interrupted by Ryūsei.
"Ryūshi..... Catherine..... Jikan... I can't thank you enough for your help..." Ryūsei happily said.
"You don't need to thank us, Firstly it's our fault for dragging you all into this mess." Jikan replied.
"Besides me and Ryūshi can't participate due us being a member of the Crowned Dragons" Jikan added.
"How about Catherine??? Can't she participate???" Kasai asked.
"If she participates, She might alter the course of the timeline greatly." Jikan replied.
"Not even my Elemental Art can restore the timeline if things change drastically" Jikan added shocking everyone.
"Why....What will happen???" Kayosha asked but Jikan didn't replied causing everyone to be more curious and worried.
The room then was then silent and Ryūsei can tell that something was bothering Catherine.
"Catherine....??? What's wrong???" Yuki worriedly asked. She notices something bothering Catherine.
"If the timeline changes drastically to the point where my Elemental Art can't restore it to it's original state-..." Jikan stated before being interrupted by Catherine.
"I-I-I'll....d-d-disappear... from this world....." Catherine sadly stated with a few tears in her eyes shocking everyone in the room.
"Catherine.... Jikan!!! Is that true!!!" Yuki worriedly asked. She couldn't believe what she's hearing right now.
"Yes...." Jikan replied.
"If the timeline changes drastically to the point where my Elemental Art couldn't restore it anymore to it's original state....." Jikan added.
"Catherine will disappear from this world and the future she lived in will also disappears as well along with her" Jikan added.
"You'll still have the memories of her but she won't exist in your world anymore.
nor in the future." Jikan added.
"Catherine...." Ryūsei then looks at Catherine.
"It's okay Grandpa, I'll take the risk..... I have to help my friend...." Catherine replied showing a smile on her face.
"This is so unfair!!!" Kasai yelled and flames then began to appear as Kasai can't control his rage.
"Kasai you need to calm down, You're going to set this place on fire." Shadow replied.
"Aren't you mad on what's going to happen??!!!" Kasai asked but with a little pissed tone.
"Of course I am, But you need to control yourself. You too Yuki!!!" Shadow replied.
"W-W-What're you talking about??!!" Yuki asked glaring at Shadow.
"Yuki.... there's clearly ice below your feet." Kayosha pointed out and Yuki then kicks the ice below her feet and she slowly hides it under the sofa.
"Well, we just have to make sure that the Corrupted Elementalist doesn't change the timeline drastically" Yuki happily said trying to change what just happened.
"As much as possible, I want you to avoid fighting the Corrupted Elementalist and focused on the Grand Shōtotsu" Jikan stated shocking everyone.
"Why is there a problem??" Kasai asked.
"Your focus is to do your best in the Grand Shōtotsu, Forget about the Corrupted Elementalist for now, Me, Ryūshi and Catherine shall handle this." Jikan replied.
"You guys fighting the Corrupted Elementalist is the last thing we want to happen" Jikan added.
"Why??? I'll send him to hell" Kasai asked once again causing Yuki to intervene.
"Because if we do, Catherine might disappear from this world and we don't want that do we??!!!" Yuki replied with a sarcastic tone.
"No... ma'am..." Kasai replied with a scared tone.
"You don't have to worry Yuki, I'll keep Kasai under control" Sora happily said.
"I hope you do princess" Kasai teases Sora with a smirk on his face and Sora happily giggles in response.
"Since were waiting for the sun to rise, Can you tell us some stories" Kayosha asked.
"Um... sure ask away" Catherine replied.
"Won't it affect the future???" Yuki concernly asked.
"It won't, As long as you allow it too happen" Jikan replied.
"What's your father like in the future???" Kayosha asked.
"I mean if he's always busy then he must have a high position in the Elemental World" Kayosha added.
"He's actually.... the Protector of the Elemental World" Catherine replied.
"You mean your father is the Grand Elementalist???!!" Shizen asked.
"No he isn't the Grand Elementalist, He's the Protector of the Elemental World" Catherine replied.
"He's the one who protects us when the Grand Elementalist nor the Twilight Faith are not around" Catherine added amazing everyone.
"He must be pretty powerful" Yuki happily said.
"Yes, His Elemental Art is so powerful infact that it once said that it rivalled the power of the Crowned Dragons" Catherine replied.
"He's actually the one who taught me how to do "Meteor Dragon Impact" but improve it and make it my own" Catherine added.
"Woahhhh, Seriously???!!" Ryūsei happily asked as he was amazed.
"Yes grandpa the spell "Eclipse Dragon Melodious Impact" is a spell that release Eclipse Dragon energy and locks on to the opponent until it hits." Catherine happily said.
"Talk about an annoying spell" Kasai replied.
"Wait a second, You're a Dragon Sage right???" Yuki asked making Catherine curious.
"Then who's Elemental Art did you adapt??" Yuki asked Catherine once again.
"My Elemental Art is adapted from both my father and mother's Elemental Art" Catherine replied.
"I see..." Yuki replied making everyone more curious.
"You were planning something, Weren't you??" Kayosha happily teased.
"I was trying to identify who my sister-in-law is going to be" Yuki replied with a little giggle.
"Yuki...." Ryūsei embarrassedly glares at Yuki. "What??!!, I'm just curious" Yuki replied causing Catherine to laugh a little.
