*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''It stopped moving. I think we did it!''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Sigh... Thanks goodness!''
*''(THUMP, THUMP!)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(As I thought... This is a Nasod. I bet it's one of the abandoned ancient Nasods all across Senace.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(But it should have stopped operating. Why did it start moving again?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(... There's a trace of someone forcibly removing the barnacles. Someone must have done something. Is there anyway to check this?)''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Lithia.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Huh? Wh, what!''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Why are you all startled? Did you do something?''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''... I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for coming to save me, and helping out until now.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''What's with the mushy feelings... I'm just doing my job.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Who knows! Maybe if I impress the princess, she'll give me some favors!''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Haha, just accept the compliment. You don't have to avoid it like that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Me too, I want to thank you for following on my insistence. If we don't stop them, I'm sure more people would have been hurt.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''That's true. We had no idea something like this would climb out...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Oh, it seems others are returning.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Denice Resident B:''' ''This is all useless now. It's the demons again! Damn it, after everything we've done to rebuild this village...''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Denice Resident A:''' ''It's the wrath of the Goddess. She's punishing us for losing the El.''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Denice Resident D:''' ''It's because the Water El is no longer with us! This is all because Hamel...''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Denice Resident A:''' ''Sigh, what is this world come to...''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''They all seem frustrated. I suppose their workplace has been destroyed...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''The wrath of the Goddess...? The Water El...? What are they talking about?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''This isn't because of demons. This all happened because someone tinkered with that Nasod.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Instead of properly sorting out the situation, they're spreading rumors. Of course they are.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''... Be quiet. Now is not the time to show off your knowledge on the Nasods.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''I'm sure someone would come and sort it all out. Then, it'll all be better.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''...Tsk. Anyway, what do we do now? I don't think there's any ship that's willing to sail after this.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Do we have to find another port? We really don't have much time now...''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[Just like Mathi said, the guardians came and handled the situation.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[There was even someone who looked like a high-ranking officer from a big village. That officer introduced herself to us and praised us for our actions.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[It wasn't great, because in the end, it was something along the lines of 'Thanks for helping, but we'd appreciate it if you can help some more'...]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''... We're busy.''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''We can provide a ship on our end.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''When?''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''You can leave today.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''... You drive a hard bargain. Alright. We are tired, but I suppose we can help out.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[So we helped healing the injured.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''No, you're injured, Mathi! You should take a rest! Leave the rest to me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''You're taking over? I've got a bad feeling about this...''
*''(CRACK!)''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Injured Guardian:''' ''GAAAHH!!''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''It sounds terrible because I had to set the bones! No need to cry over it!''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Injured Guardian:''' ''Ah, my injuries are not actually serious, so I can wait. It would be best if other people are...''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Don't be silly. Close your eyes, don't bite your tongue, and everything will be peachy daisy!''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Now! Who's next!''
*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''Injured Guardian:''' ''Eeek!''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Ah... I can't bear to watch. I'll give you some pointers, so just do as I say.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''If you mix the method utilizing self-recovery and the caster's mana, yo can lessen the pain.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Aha... ...... Like this?''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Yeah. That's good. You probably ended up using more mana than necessary with that one, so let's try again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Ah... It's not easy having to think about multiple variables at once.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''You're doing fine, so we can slowly adjust the ratio. Be careful not to do it too fast, though.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Huhuhu... I'll go grab more salves and bandages.''
----
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Oof... Finally, I have some time to rest now that the sun is setting.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Phew... Good work everyone. I wish I could use magic as well...''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''You actually helped us a lot, Vera. When doing relief work, there's more work needed other than healing people, and every work is equally important.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I'm pleasantly surprised how well-organized Senace is during it all. Maybe they're more experienced because it's the first place that was invaded?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''If it were Velder or Northern Empire, it would have taken forever for them to come to a remote village like this for aid.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Is it that bad? I can't believe Velder would be even worse than this...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Then again, if Velder was doing fine, I wouldn't have been summoned.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Ah... Now that I'm close, I'm terrified.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''What if it's a situation in which I cannot refuse? What can a country bumpkin like me possibly do?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Both of you would be so much better at it than me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''But it's something only you can do, Vera.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Yeah, we're a bunch of lowly commoners.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''That's not what I... or actually, maybe it is. We're not royalty, after all.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''You're agreeing with me? I thought you would tell me to play nice.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Anyway, there's nothing to worry about, Vera. A kingdom isn't built in a day, surely it won't collapse in one.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Even if you do end up taking the throne without any knowledge, I'm sure the nobles beneath you would love to take care of everything for you. Though, that may be worse, all in all.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Haha... That hit a little too close to home, I think.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''... I feel conflicted. Why am I even worried? I'm only going back to refuse the position.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''I don't know what I'm supposed to feel.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''... It's because you have a sense of responsibility.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Whether you accept or refuse, you're in a position to choose. That is a right we do not have.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''We can give you advice, but that's it. You have to be the one to tie the knot in the end.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''You're probably right...''

*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''And I believe it was close to midnight when the ship promised by the Guardian officer arrived.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Yeah. It look so long, I thought she forgot about us, but it had rooms prepared for us and everything.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I said something like, 'even if you report that, they're not going to take care of it', but that officer seemed like someone you could trust.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''Oh, is that why you gave the officer the ornament you found at the lake? I was surprised when you did that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Since the Guardians would already know about what happened at the mountains, I don't have to explain too much, and suggesting that today's incident might have also been set up by someone....''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Honestly, I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't be taken seriously.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''And might think you're suspicious for knowing so much about Nasods.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Oh, I didn't think about that.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''Please think about what you are doing....''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Anyway, at least that officer seemed reasonable. She understood exactly what I was getting at.''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|We'll need to investigate further on this issue.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|Thank you for your advice. I will make sure that this incident doesn't lead to any false rumors spreading.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Well, that's all I could ask for. I'm glad I told her everything.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''The proud look that Mathi gave me while I was talking to the officer did annoy me a bit.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''Hehe... I mean, you don't like having serious conversations with someone you don't know.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''You can haggle like your life depended on it, but the moment someone asks you how your day has been, or ask anything personal, you start to struggle.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''That's why I could tell how hard you were trying.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Ugh, you embarrass me. Let's change the topic.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''Haha. Come to think of it, I don't think the officer just took your words at face value. It seemed like she already had her own suspicions.''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|... We were also concerned about rumors of unknown origin spreading about the Water El.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|Is Senace in trouble because of the disappearance of the Water El?}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|I cannot give you all the details, but I can tell you that is not the case.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|It seems the ancient city that appeared right after the Invasion gave many people fear and suspicion.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|But if someone is behind all of this, we will need to take action beyond worrying about the situation.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|That sounds difficult...}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|It has already been several years since the pillars that supported Senace disappeared.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|We know now, that the age we could hide peacefully under the colossal shadow has passed.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|Senace has already suffered, but we refuse to let it suffer again.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|GuardianOfficer}} '''Guardian Officer:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|... Thank you again for the advice. I regret the only thing we can pay in return for all your help is the ship I have promised.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|It's fine. You are giving us what we need the most. We thank you for your generosity.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''{{color|#F1670A|May Denice shake off the shock of this incident and return to normalcy.}}''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Vera says she's an ordinary girl, but whenever she shows etiquette, she really does seem like royalty.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''By the time we were almost done with our conversation, the ship finished loading its cargo, so we were able to board the ship.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Yeah. I was surprised. The Guardians and the people we helped all came out to see us off.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Saying things like, thanks for helping out, have a safe journey, haha.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Mathi and Vera waved, so I followed suit... It felt kind of weird when people recognized me and waved back.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''It felt good. I guess...''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Mathi always nagged I should hang out with other people more, and I always thought that wasn't necessary.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I would give reasons... Since I'd never see them again, or because they're idiots...''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''But if I'm being honest, I think I was afraid of forgetting Joy and Felix.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''What if they invade the most precious part in my heart? What if Joy and Felix are lost again, this time in my heart, after I lost them due to my own mistakes.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I was afraid the new people I meet will push back the memories I have with Joy and Felix, and change me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I don't know why I thought that. People don't change that easily.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''If I knew, I wouldn't have lost you both, too...''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''... You didn't lose us.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rift}} '''Rift:''' ''Trust me. You didn't lose us. We can meet again.''
