Since we were already given a team, we started to do what we were told, and just like last time, we made sure we were all organized. Again, just like last time, Kara, Mara and Marianne told us what to do. Since I already know how to hunt, I was put in charge of it, only that
"We will show you how much we have improved"
"We will not lose!"
"Do your best, but be prepared for the inevitable."
"Inevitable victory?" [Diana]
"NO!"
"Interesting. So, what will the loser do? You know what, I will ask you to do my part to clean up on the last day" [Diana].
"Cocky, aren't you?"
"But we accept"
"If we win, you'll be the one who has to clean up.
"Aren't you ashamed? You are in a group against a single lady" [Adnan].
"Don't worry, I won't lose" [Diana]
"That's still not good. I'll help Diana" [Adnan].
"And miss the chance to defeat them single-handedly in a resounding victory, no way" [Diana]
"That's my little sister! Go show them!" [Diana]
"Normally, I would stop this, but, boys, you need all the luck in the world to beat her" [Randy].
"A little competition can go a long way, so I'll be the judge. Don't worry, I won't favor my little sister" [Khamisah].
"Then let's go! Adnan, don't help me! I want to win by myself!" [Diana]
"If you say so" [Adnan]
They're good. I remember that they were reliable the last time we did this, but I'm still bringing most of the food, so this time they feel the need to beat me, which I accept. I won't lose, well, it'll be embarrassing if I lose since I have the blessing on my side.
I wanted to win no matter what. First of all, a dive at the dam. I still remember how I got the mana stone from the Sea Diamond Serpent. The mana stone has remained in my wand to this day. It has helped me many times, more times than I could ever imagine. I wish I could see it again. It has been a year since then. I still couldn't find anything related to the mermaid.
The first thing I noticed here is that even though this lake is connected to a dam, it still has a thriving ecology. Also, there's a monster salmon that looks absolutely delicious, so
(Ice. Freeze it!) [Diana]
I used the water fairy's Aqua Blessing so that I could swim freely underwater, and when I tried to freeze the monster salmon, it dodged so quickly and targeted me. Hehe... Thank you for making it easier for me. I can just freeze it. To be on the safe side, I even enhance my freeze magic with Ice Fairy Shiva Blessing and
"Monster Salmon Caught!" [Diana]
"Impressive!" [Stacy]
"I can't wait to cook it." [Neloufa]
"Me too, especially the tasting part." [Tio]
To dry myself, I use both heat and wind magic, placing myself in the center of a mini-hurricane. As a result, my hair is a complete mess. I wanted to win, but not at the cost of getting laughed at, so I asked Neloufa to help me comb my hair. She immediately agreed. She also made a ponytail for me to make my movement in the forest easier. It's much appreciated.
"Oh... I miss the best part of combing your hair" [Dana].
"You can always do that at home" [Diana].
"I know, but I love doing it" [Dana]
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do it. I understand how Sister Dana feels about it" [Neloufa].
"I wanted to do it tomorrow!" [Stacy]
"Me too" [Tio]
"This looks fun" [Kara]
"Princesses, do you want to comb my hair tomorrow?" [Marianne]
"Sure! Both you and Diana have long blonde hair. You both also take great care of your hair routine" [Mara].
"I prefer Diana's curly hair at the end though" [Marianne].
"If anything, I wanted straight hair like yours" [Diana].
(Diana is really girly... Not unlike her two sisters) [Kat]
Next, a hunt in the forest. Again Adnan wanted to help me. Not only him, even Auger wanted to help me. Again I want to win alone, so no!
In the forest I ask the trees if there is an edible monster here. It tells me about the annoying antlered bird, which isn't native here and is wreaking havoc in the forest. Good! That's my hunt for today.
Since Master Merlin used her magic to make my clothes weigh 30kg, I feel more tired than usual. Even the dive was stressful, but I am sure this is good training. I can already imagine Sister Khamisah, Nar and Sas using this method to train me... Let's not think about it.
I fly with the help of the sylph's blessing, and before I know it, I see the antlered bird. It's not as big as I had hoped. Well, I thought it would be my size, but it's about 1/4 of that. Better than nothing I guess.
"I've never used Thunder blessing before... Oh Miss Brontë, please make this Thunder Arrow even faster and stronger!" [Diana].
It's a simple thunder spell. I'm sure Dana is better at it than I am, but I wanted to use it anyway. I tried the blessing, and like a warrior, she responded bravely. I never thought the sound of a simple thunderbolt could be so loud... And what's more, the antlered bird immediately falls to the ground dead. Even I feel sorry for it.
To round things out, let's pick some fruit. This is easy. All I have to do is ask, and they are happy to tell me which fruit is good and which is bad. Which ones I shouldn't pick. Again, this is a cakewalk for me.
"Looks like you are having a great time today" [Khamisah].
"I'm here to submit my hunts" [Diana].
"Very impressive. Boys, do you want some more time?" [Khamisah]
"Urgh..."
"Come on now! Just say it, you need it to beat me" [Diana]
"Nonsense!"
"Now I feel sorry for you" [Adnan]
"Even I feel the same way" [Auger]
"Two boars and a handful of mushrooms from the boys. Not bad. Not bad at all. Although judging by the size, the number of fruits and the quality of the meat, and the fact that it takes only Diana to acquire all of it..." [Randy]
"We will extend the deadline! We will see who can hunt the most throughout the entire camp!"
"Bring it on!" [Diana]
(Aren't you boys being sore loser... Just admit that Diana beat you!) [Dana]
