"!"

'This... My Status... It came back with me?'

'No... Only my Skills... Aside from that, it's almost the same as it was before.'

'I also lost some of the Attaiments I acquired during those months... Shame, but its not the end of the world.'

'It seems only the "experience" side of things came back with it, albeit now, my Class progress broke through the barrier I was stuck at before. Why though?'

Dale stood silent for a moment, thinking about the reason why, but in the end, he gave up, moving on with his quick analysis.

'As for the rest... Soul Dissociation... At this period in time, I was affected by it, guess that isn't the case anymore... Even better, my plans can be executed faster that way.'

'I may have lost the progress from my Physical training and the pain I endured but I kept most of my understanding of it. This simplifies things.'

Dale was ready to redo his training, since this time, as he remembered how he trained and how he reached his milestones, going over it all again would take considerably less time.

'Still... Why are my Extra Skill Slots empty? I filled them up before after going through dozens of Skills...'

'Well, it doesn't matter much since I already have an idea what I'll be choosing. And once I do, I bet they'll be the same as they were before.'

'I just have to consume the Skill Books when I have the time, preferably after copying them as I did last time.'

"That covers it then, time to move."

'I'm in a rush.' Dale thought as he vanished into the side alleys

...

While the players of Azimuth went over their experiences in the Event, Dale ran to the Church at high speed, evading everyone on his path as he ran inside.

/Open!/

The long double doors opened, creaking heavily, it seemed those hinges required some oiling...

"Alright... Now to find him." Dale mumbled to himself as he took a step inside the empty church

"It would be a pleasure!" She replied with a large, honest smile

"Anyhow... The reason I raised this issue to you is because... Let's be frank, you need help."

"Hm..."

She got a little embarrassed at his words, but not upset.

"A church can't function properly with only one Priest... You need helpers."

"Even the most simple task of cleaning the ground can become a shore when there's only you around... And that's what I want to speak to you about."

"With your authority, you should be on the lookout for those qualified to serve God, you understand what I'm talking about don't you?"

"Yes, yes I do... But..."

"I know. It's not easy to select people. But not all are fit for the task."

'In the past, she was also like this, uncertain if she was trully qualified to select people. To choose their destinies.'

'It's a responsibility, one not all are willing to take accountability for.'

"Let's do it like this, you see who you think is qualified, you write them down on a piece of paper and next time I'm back we'll discuss it, how about it?"

'The best way to deal with this is to take a portion of the accountability from her and share her burdens, it's not the ideal solution as she needs to grow, but pushing her to run a mile before she even learned how to walk isn't going to lead us anywhere.'

'She was already a Noble before so she has the upbringing, half of the task is already done, she only needs to get used to things as she's likely still somewhat in denial of who she is and what fate has to offer for her.'

'This time, I'll be there for her, properly.'

"... Alright, I think that's good... But why not now?"

"Ahem... I'm currently somewhat busy... So we'll have to leave such discussions for later, I just passed by to see how you were doing and to talk a little at the same time."

"I see. Thank you for visiting, I know you're busy with the Village and your responsibilities... It's always a pleasure to have company."

"You speak as if you were always alone. There's always someone on the Church." Dale said with a chuckle as he moved on

"It's not the same!"

"Is it? Then why is it a pleasure to have me and not everyone else?" He teased as he looked at her

"Erm..."

[Erile's intimacy has increased slightly]

"..."

Seeing the girl squirm to find an answer, Dale coughed audibly before moving on, changing the topic.

He found her cute, however, he knew when to stop.

"Aside from that... If you don't mind me asking, would you be willing to share what you heard from the soundbox with me?"

"!"

Upon hearing him mention the soundbox, Erile's gaze turned distant.

In the past, Erile told him about it herself, triggering a Quest, but that was a few weeks in the future.

It was mostly because Dale was never present in full at the Church to give her the chance to do so. As such, this time, he presented her with the chance to do so.

The sooner he took the weight off her chest and triggered the Quest, the better.

"I wouldn't mind." She replied serious after regaining her composure

"You sure? Your expression says otherwise." Dale replied with a half smile as he looked at her

"Stop teasing me. Otherwise, I'll change my decision."

Dale raised his hands up, declaring his loss.

/Chuckle.../

Erile smiled as she chuckled, things were going well so far.

[Erile's intimacy has increased slightly]

"Still... I imagine we'll have to leave that conversation for later as well, won't we?" She asked as she rested her hands atop David's head

"... That's right, I apologize. I was the one who brought up the subject and in the end..."

"Stop it, I don't want to hear it anymore... This isn't worthy of apologizing for."

"... Great."

With those words, Dale opened his inventory, taking some things out with it.

A set of items, perfect for the occasion. Something he should've given to her long, long ago...

Something he should've thought about before, but due to his negligence and narrow-minded focus, he ended up losing the chance to acquire.

However now, with the chance he was given, he managed to make up for his past mistakes and gather it all... And it just so happened to be the right time to give her.

"These are for you." Dale said slowly as he passed her a box

"For me?..." Erile asked as she opened it, perplexed and even somewhat expectant for what was inside

Within were a set of several items, but what caught her attention was a golden blue 'dress' made of silk.

The moment she unfolded it, she was immediately mesmerized by it...
