Day 5

8:00 AM

The Royal Mansion of the Mining City.

Dining room.

Helen came back to the dining room, fully dressed. She then sat down next to you and joined everyone for breakfast. She tries to flirt with you and Ava try to stop her. Finally, everyone finishes their breakfast. Saria then explains what she discusses with everyone while Helen was not present.

"Hohhh, Tony-kun getting a new division. With this, you can make my armour faster, right?" (Helen) she is clinging on your arm.

"Yes, with the workshop setup, I can do a lot of things much easier." You look at those sparkling eyes from Helen. Then you turn to look at Saria. "Saria-san, do you have any request?"

"Mmmm, not right now, I'll tell you when I need something." (Saria)

"Darling! I want an armour as well, make it stronger than dad' armour." (Ava) she looks at you with a puppy dog eyes and pulls your arm toward her.

"Oh, Ava my dear, do you think when you wear a stronger armour you will be able to defeat me? Hahahahaha, you truly a naïve child." (Helen) She pulls you toward her. While staring at Ava. you can see the electric spark between this two.

"Irin.....want to learn...…science." (Irin)

"Irin-sama, I will help you with that." (Aisha) Then you remember something.

"Ah, yes here something for all of you." You took out a bunch of hand bracelet with different colours and lay it on the table. Everyone looks at those different colours hand bracelet on the table with curiosity.

"Tony-san what are these hand bracelet for?" (Saria) she picks the green bracelet up.

"This is a multi-task holo bracelet, It a device that can improve your daily life." you then show the one you already wear and turn it on. "this device has a communicator, map, photo, video recorder, and the most importantly it a tool that can summon an armour suit and equipment directly." Everyone on the table still confused. You sigh and try to explain and teach what can Multi-task bracelet can do. A few minutes later everyone understands how to use the Multi-task, then everyone that had it on starting to play about with it, especially the video and photo. Then another person enters the room.

"Saria, I have something to-." FLASH* (Lenna) She was cut off by a flashing light. She was so surprised she was in her fight stance.

"Ppppffffff hahahaha, Len-chan is so jumpy!" (Helen) she took a picture of Lenna.

"What was that, Helen!?" (Lenna) she grabs her sword and ready to strike.

"It is you with a surprising look on your face, hahaha, am saving this." (Helen) she shows Lenna's photo and then saves on her personnel file on the Multi-task bracelet.

"What did you just do, Helen? Who is that person that looks like me!?" (Lenna) she was very nervous when she doesn't know what goes on.

"Lenna-san, please calm down, It just one of my tools that am giving out to everyone, here your one too." You gave her one as well and then explain to her how to use it. And Saria tells her what going when she was not present.

"I see it very useful and very convenient. Like this! FLASH* (Lenna) she tries to take a surprise picture on Helen but fails because Helen was ready for a photo attack and makes a cute pose.

"haha, nice try but you will never catch me in a surprise photo." (Helen) she waves finger to mock Lenna.

"Ahem! Lenna, what do you have for me?" (Saria) she finished taking a picture and sat back down on her chair.

"Right, have a look at this." (Lenna) She put a glowing ore on the table. Your eyes were locked on at the bright metal that Lenna put on the table.

"mmm, it the new discover ore that causes the sickness to the miner. What new about it?" (Saria) she looks at Lenna.

"I saw this kind of ore somewhere in the book before. If I remember correctly this Ore is called a mana stone." (Lenna)

"Mana stone? Did you hear of this? Irin?" (Saria) she turns toward to Irin for an answer.

"No.....never seen it....Irin read....all book." (Irin) she shakes her head.

You quickly check the codex on your menu for the mana stone and you were quite shocked what was written on it.

Mana stone.

The mana stone is a one-time use stone concentrates mana energy. Mana stone can be used in many different ways. Crafting, refill mage's mana pool, use as a wand for none mage. There are four types of a grade for mana stone, low grade, mid-grade, high grade and pure grade. Low grade has enough power to cast a low tier magic spell, mid-grade has enough power to use a mid-tier magic spell, the high grade has enough power to cast high tier magic spells, pure grade (extremely rare) is the only grade that has the power and allows the mortal to use a God tier magic spells.

Warning. High grade and pure grade are likely to cause a mana sickness. Be sure to wear protective gear when mining for these stone.

("Holy chicken nugget!") You thought. So, in short, you can become a mage just by utilising these mana stone and you remember there was a lot of it near the mine tunnel.

"Saria-san, how many mana stones does this city have?" you feel sweaty from just from thinking of it.

"mmm, I think we have a three warehouse full of it already, and there seems to be more in the mine." (Saria) she answers you normally.

BAM! you fell off your chair. "th th three warehouses full?" your voice was shaking from shock. Everyone was confused about the way you act as if you saw a ghost.

"Tony-kun, was wrong?" (Helen) came and helped you up.

"Sorry I was a bit shock," you answer with a tired tone.

"About the mana stone?" (Ava) she came and helped you as well.

"Saria-san, can I go and see those mana stone at those warehouses and study some of them?"

"of course, we are thinking about how to get rid of it since it causes a lot of sicknesses." (Saria)

Oh god, get rid of it? Your heart is crying just by hearing those word. "Please wait, I want to research it, it might be useful for my work." Your voice sounds very weak for two shocks at once.

"well, you are part of our family now so that you can have almost anything in this kingdom, but won't those mana stone make you sick as well?" (Saria) she sounds anxious.

"That ok, I got my suit." you show her the bracelet.

"Ah ok," (Saria) she happy with your reply and then she looks at everyone. "right, is everybody understands the plan for an upcoming event?" (Saria) everyone nods. "good, then Helen, Lenna and Linda-san, please go back to the castle and get everything ready." (Saria)

"Ok"(Helen)

"got it"(Lenna)

"As you wish, your majesty."(Linda) she bows.

"Irin and I will pack up and finish the business here, and we will go back in 2 days." (Saria)

"Oka-sama, can I accompany you and mother Irin?" (Ava) she came and hugged Saria give her a puppy dog eyes.

"Ooooh, how could I say no to those eyes." (Saria) She squeezes Ava's nose. Ava responds by hugging her mother back.

"Tony-san after you are done with everything, please come back to the castle and find me, we have a lot of things to discuss." (Saria)

"I understand." You nod.

"Alright then, I see everyone back at the castle." (Saria) she and Irin exist in the dining room.

"Darling, see you later." (Ava) she waves at you and follows her mothers.

"Tony-sama. Can you show me how the portal device work." (Linda) She approaches you. You then teach her how to use it. And she is easy to teach as well, and now the portal is open to Zylris castle by Linda.

"Tony-kun I'll see you later. Kiss*" (Helen) she kisses your cheek and walks through the portal.

"Tony, can you set up a defence turret like the one you did before in this city? (Lenna)

"Yes, don't worry, I'll definitely set up the best defence system as possible." With all those mana stone, you will set up the best defence ever. See how you eager she can't but smile at you.

"Thanks, I kinda promise those guys at the barracks that the mining city is now safer than before with your defence system." (Lenna) She was looking at you for a moment with a little smile on her face. FLASH* both of you turn toward the origin of the flash. It was Helen who poked out of the blue tunnel and took a picture.

"Fufufufu, Len-chan is so cute!" (Helen) she slips back to the tunnel.

"HELEN!!" (Lenna) she runs and enters the blue tunnel in anger.

"Well then, Tony-sama, we will have a lot to discuss the arrangement as well. I will see you later, good day." (Linda) She bows at you and enters the blue tunnel. The tunnel then closes and disappear.
