"My mana! My sweet little pot of mana! The sweet nectar tastes like a baby... No! Please don't leave me!" [Powerful Dyrad]
"That's enough!" [Dana]
"How dare you separate us! It's like separating a man from his only source of wine!" [Powerful Dyrad]
"It's not necessary! You're just like an alcoholic going through withdrawal!" [Dana]
Dana wanted to hug me and say goodbye before their convoy returned to Amleth. Before that could happen, the powerful Dyrad threw a tantrum because she couldn't suck up my sweet, sweet mana. Since my mana is abundant and sweet in taste, I am like wine to her... I feel complicated when she praises me with this description.
"Just suck up her mana. They're sisters" [Sas].
"Be dead gloomy Sas!" [Dana]
"Don't want to... Sure, they're sister, but it's like a grape from one branch is good and another isn't" [Powerful Dyrad].
"HUH!?" [Dana]
"Trying to scare me? Too bad I wouldn't be scared. You know about my roles right. Kehkehkeh" [Powerful Dyrad]
"Tyrex. Bad breath on her!" [Dana]
"NOOO!" [Powerful Dyrad]
Leave them alone for now
As for the others, it's just a quick goodbye. To Neloufa and my friends. To the succubi and the giant. To the demon and Grugach too. They're all my friends who have been through a lot in the last 2-3 months. It's been filled with joy and hardship, and when they knew what I was about to do, they naturally began to worry. I appreciate their thoughts, but what I wanted was needed, especially for the inevitable battle with the Devil King.
"Take care" [Sas].
"Don't overdo it" [Jean]
"Remember, safety first" [Linda]
"If things get too dangerous, it's okay to back off" [Savel]
"Be safe okay. Please take care of yourself. If you need any help, just call on me. I'll come as soon as I can" [Dana]
"I will. Thank you all" [Diana]
Of course I hug them all, especially Dana. I'm sure she doesn't want me to go, but what has to be done has to be done. It's a warm and tight hug, in this cold snowy country. I wouldn't mind hugging her a little longer but the other are waiting so it need to be cut short
As I wave goodbye, they move further and further away as the snow obscures the view and makes it harder and harder to see them. When all are ready
"Now all we have to do is wait for Miss Falmer" [Nar].
"Meow" [Fie]
"I'm sure I don't have to ask you this, but are you sure you don't want to go all the way up?" [Randy]
"Someone has to take care of the Southern Island princess. Besides, this old body might not survive the winter at the summit" [Joseph].
Our plan before attempting to conquer the summit of Mount Olympus is to rescue Princess Ayaka. According to Master Merlin, the better the sacrifice, the more preparation Mother Holle needs. It's like the kitchen of a top restaurant, where preparation starts with selecting the freshest ingredients and ends with the best of the best cooking your meal. In this case, Princess Ayaka might be one of the best, if not the best, sacrifice Mother Holle has received so far, and knowing her tendency to get the Eternal Power and Beauty, she will do everything perfectly, hence the much needed time to save her.
"Sorry I'm late. There's trouble" [Falmer].
"That doesn't sound good" [Nar]
"It isn't. Basically, the royalty don't want you interfering" [Falmer].
"Makes sense that they would think that. I'm sure the plan hasn't been leaked at all, but given our tendencies, they're right to suspect it" [Randy].
"Meow" [Fie]
"Good call Fie. We just barge in" [Diana]
"Normally I would scold you, but the lives of these victims are more important than your pride. I'm sorry Miss Falmer, but we're going no matter what" [Nar].
Miss Falmer doesn't really show complicated expressions. In fact, she's happy that we've all agreed to just burst in.
"You really are like the first prince to conquer the summit" [Falmer].
"Wait... Is it really you? The group of people in the brochure?" [Diana]
"That's right. Well, officially I was the first to climb it, as I wanted to see the rising sun, but let's just say, for the pride of the royalty, my name wasn't on it. Even the first prince was not happy but what can he do, after he passed away, they just erased my name from the list altogether" [Falmer].
Now I feel even more confident. Perhaps the terrain has changed a little here and there, as it's been a while since a group of people last climbed to the summit. Officially, it was the first prince of this country two hundred years ago with his follower... But wait a minute...
"How old are you then..." [Diana]
"Younger than your so-called Grandma Farhah aka my older sister" [Falmer]
"WHAT!?" [All]
That's... This is news to all of us!!! Is she really Grandma Farhah's younger sister? Who is she?
