It's a good morning. A peaceful morning indeed. Sister Farhana and Elegast are also here, they are sleeping in Werehouse and they are helping me to take care of Werehouse after its integration with the coffin. Yes, it's a peaceful morning indeed, I don't have to go to school because my brothers told me to rest. Indeed, a peaceful morning
"You guys are really up early..." [Diana]
"You're young, yet you slouch like an old granny!" [Brokkr]
"Youngster this day" [Einstein]
"Hmph! It's okay to slack off once in a while!" [Diana]
Everyone is already here, double-checking everything. From the measurements of Werehouse to the materials needed to fully upgrade Werehouse. In fact, their eyes are sparkling with enthusiasm. I didn't count how many of them there were yesterday, but it feels like there are more of them today.
It's like a busy market, instead of money, calculations are being thrown left and right. Instead of things like sweets, meat, and drinks, it's material like boards, concrete, and others.
"You're up early today" [Khamisah].
"Do you feel tired?" [Ophelia]
"No, I'm fine. Refreshed actually" [Diana].
"Feel like skipping school with you today, but, oh well" [Dana]
"If you have nothing better to do, just help them all today" [Nar].
"Just don't get in their way" [Sas]
"Will do" [Diana]
"She will bother us" [Brokkr]
"Tell me when I had bothered or disturbed you!" [Diana]
"I have to change the locks on my workplace because of you for god knows how many times already!" [Brokkr]
"In my defense, you shouldn't be so reclusive! Besides, breaking into your workplace and unlocking your locks is fun" [Diana].
"She said that innocently, not knowing how impressive it actually was" [Einstein]
"I heard that it was even more fortified than Emperor Justin's chamber, is that true?" [Farhana]
"It certainly feels like it" [Elegast].
"Shut up you lads!" [Brokkr]
"Really? Then I can just break into their castle if worse come to worse?" [Diana]
"And again she said it like it was a walk in the park" [Ophelia].
"Honestly, if she really does that, I won't even be surprised" [Dana]
"Meow" [Fie]
"Even Fie agrees" [Dana]
My family members come to visit me. They're all up early too, maybe because they wanted to check on me before they went to school or work. I really appreciate it.
"Sigh... I can't change your mind, can I? Not that I don't understand you..." [Tiara]
"Thank you for your concern, teacher Tiara, but... If it's for Emas, I'll do it. I'm fully aware of the risk" [Princess Siti].
"I heard from Nar and Sas yesterday, are you really sure Princess?" [Ophelia]
"I am" [Princess Siti].
Princess Siti and Teacher Tiara also come here to check on me. They are so sweet, aren't they? I feel a little guilty because I'm the only one skipping school, but that doesn't mean I would go to school just for that. They're discussing what Princess Siti told us yesterday. I'm sure she knows what it means. She herself is the best among us three when it comes to witch art.
"Good morning. Oh my, I didn't expect to see you all here. I just wanted to check on Diana to see if she's okay or not" [Merlin].
"Morning Master" [Diana]
"Looks like you're fine. Good. Good. As for Siti, it looks like you've been thinking about it, and you're going to do it, no matter what it takes" [Merlin].
"I am" [Princess Siti].
"Well... I'll allow it, but make sure you graduate first. Next year marks your final year with Dana, Goddess Favourite Daughter and the other after all. Make some good memories first" [Merlin]
"Really?" [Princess Siti]
"Master Merlin!" [Tiara]
"Are you serious?" [Ophelia]
"Look like she is" [Khamisah]
"I am. Well, Siti is almost a full pledged witch herself, and I'm sure she knew the implications more than any of you. Even if I forbid it, I'm sure she will do it regardless of my warning" [Merlin].
"Thank you, Master, for trusting me" [Princess Siti].
"I do trust you, but I hope you won't disappoint me. You are fully aware of the risk, right?" [Merlin]
"I am. If I fail, at best I will just die... But that's unlikely. Soul floating around in torment, soul trapped in the land itself, unable to do anything and yet feeling all the pain that's happening on the land, endless darkness of eternity until Goddess herself sets me free... There's more... I'm fully aware and yet... And yet... I don't think what Emas is preparing is enough when the time of the Devil King's awakening comes. Something drastic should be done" [Princess Siti].
Yes. It's that serious, that's why Teacher Tiara is especially against it, but as expected or unexpected, Master Merlin allows Princess Siti to do it.
"I'm sorry, I know this might sound ignorant, but what you wanted to do is basically what Ophelia did to this land, right?" [Dana]
"Right, and maybe even more" [Princess Siti].
"I more or less understand how Ophelia was able to achieve it, the blessing and curse of this land intertwine so much that she inherited it, so how do you plan to do it, and how come Ophelia was able to achieve it then?" [Dana]
"Good question. However, there's an error in your statement. I didn't do anything, it was more or less an after-effect of the curse on this land. Call it Goddess Grace if you want. However, Princess Siti is planning to actively do the same thing to her soul towards her land, so the risk is significantly higher" [Ophelia].
"I see... Siti, when the time comes, tell me. I don't know what I can do to help you, but as your friend, I will be there to help and support you" [Dana].
"Dana... Right!" [Princess Siti]
"Don't forget to call me, too" [Merlin]
"I'll come as well... I still can't help but disagree with you, but if we're there, we can at least ensure your safety" [Tiara]
"I'll come as well! I won't let you down!" [Diana]
"You guys... I feel so blessed" [Princess Siti].
It's a difficult subject to discuss in the morning, but I can see her determination in her face. I can only pray to the goddess that everything will go smoothly. For now, let's help the others upgrade Werehouse.
