"The energy around this gate is unstable..."
Alex muttered as he touched the golden-colored portal in front of him.
Touching a portal was not possible for normal people as it was a passage, but for Alex who already had some mastery over space elements, it was not that hard.
In fact, if he tried, he could create a portal as well, although it wouldn't be a long-range portal or an inter-dimensional one, it would be a portal nonetheless.
As you would've guessed, Alex was standing in front of the SSS-ranked gate along with Alice and Ann.
Noctura was not with them in this adventure as she was in the villa, keeping an eye on Luna and her subordinates.
Talking about them, Luna and her subordinates were actually working as maids in the villa, cleaning and washing stuff.
"We need to work our pay."
This is what Luna had said.
Luna wanted to work for the food she was eating.
The food she ate was cooked by Alex since she didn't know how to cook, and her subordinates were only good at fighting.
It was not hard for Luna to learn cooking, but if she did that, then she would miss out on the food made by Alex, and that was the last thing she wanted to do.
'His food is the best I ever ate!'
These were the words that came out of her mouth after she took the first bite of his food, so how could she let go of such food?
Alex, Alice, and Ann also let her do what she wanted to do since that way she would be engaged in something.
Right now, however, Alice and Ann were frowning after they heard Alex's words.
"What do you mean?"
Ann asked.
"I don't know, but something about this gate is different.
This one doesn't seem natural, or should I say it feels forced? Yeah, that would be better work for it."
Alex replied with a pondering expression.
Unlike normal gates that felt like they were supposed to be there, this one felt like it was not supposed to be there, but it was forcefully formed.
[It was supposed to be an SS rank gate, but due to some reason, its rank is elevated to SSS rank peak.]
Sophia replied, clearing Alex's doubt.
'Ah, I see...'
'Now I feel that this gate will have something or someone interesting...'
Alex muttered with amusement.
"No matter how bad the gates are for humans, they sure do have a nice view."
Alex commented as he looked around.
"This looks like a picnic spot, one that I would really want to go to...."
Alice muttered as she looked at the path ahead of them.
There was a single path ahead, but the trees around it made that path look like a way to something very grand.
It felt like they were being welcomed into a grand ceremony or something.
Red, yellow, orange, blue, green, pink, etc. one could see trees of any color they wanted.
They were standing at one end of the path while the other path extended to who knows where. It was very long, after all, so long that they couldn't see the end.
Alex could probably see the end if he wanted to, but who wants to spoil the fun?
The colorful trees would sway as the air blew and their petals would fall on the ground, making the path they had to walk on become a multi-colored path.
"I really wanted to enjoy our time here, but alas...."

Ann sighed in regret as she looked at the trees.
"Well, we can't do anything now, can we? This is a gate and we are supposed to clear it..."
Alex just shrugged.
Anyone would be fooled by the lovely atmosphere, but they were not just normal people.
Ann as a wolf was extremely sensitive to wild, while Alex, well he was just Alex.
Alice......
"What are you guys talking about?"
Well, maybe she didn't have any idea of what was really going on.
Alex and Ann shared a smile before Ann spoke.
"Would you like to do it or should I do it?"
"Go ahead."
Alex let Ann show Alice what they were talking about and Alice although confused, still looked as Ann walked toward one of those lovely-looking trees with slow and calm movements.
It looked as if she was going to relax next to it or she was going to pose for a picture.
