“So you’re leaving… that was really soon, but… I’m happy I was able to see all of you again!” Rose said happily, as she hugged Benladra and Kate while crying.

“Yeah… I hope you girls can come back soon!” Coral nodded, holding his tears as much as he could. “Uhh… And once you do please… um, don’t leave so soon?”

“Don’t worry! We’ll definitely come to visit once more if we can find the time for it!” Benladra said. “For now you guys better not slack off! I want you to keep training, cultivating, and using dad’s system to get stronger. Grind EXP from monsters from the Dungeons that dad upgraded, which are Divine Dungeons now, and level up, alright?”

“Yeah, please don’t slack off…” Kate nodded, as Coral and Rose nodded.

“Um… we weren’t quite as close friends as you are with Rose and Coral but…” Eleanor muttered. “I hope we can meet again… Benladra, Kate.”

“Of course, you’re our friend too, don’t be a stranger, Eleanor!” Benladra said, hugging her friend and making Eleanor blush in embarrassment.

“Hm, you’re our friend too,” Kate nodded cutely.

“U-Uwaah?! Really? Heheh…” Eleanor giggled nervously as she accepted their love, she wasn’t quite used to being closely touched like with hugs, though.

“Hmph, you sure love crying for them… They’ll be fine, and they’ll return eventually!” Triton said angrily, feeling a little jealous of my daughters and their friendship with Rose, Coral, and Eleanor, the latter whom he had a crush on.

“This was our first time interacting with you when you grew up Triton, but I hope we get to see each other again too!” Benladra said.

“Yeah,” Kate nodded. “You’re strong, keep growing stronger.”

“E-Eh? Ah…” Triton looked elsewhere, getting embarrassed my two cute daughters were praising him. “S-Sure… whatever.”

“Is it really nothing else we could do to help you? You’ve done so much for us once more…” Sapphire said. She was Triton’s mother and the widow of Aquarius, the Ancient Sea Dragon.

“Yes, please say it and we’ll do anything we can, if you need out help, resources, anything we could ever provide…” Anastasia said. “I know our Kingdom doesn’t have much but…”

“It’s alright, if anything I would ask you to please not be hostile against the villagers that came from Zipangu, those that are over those islands in the distance,” I said. “You should probably not visit them until you’re sure about it… I think they have nothing to do with the invasion and are just normal people. Whatever appearance they have, don’t discriminate them.”

“I see… well, consider it done,” Sapphire nodded. “As the current Queen, I’ll do anything to help them.”

“It’s interesting… meeting people from other worlds…” Anastasia said. “Even though it might also be rather scary, I will also try my best.”

“Well said, thank you,” I nodded. “Then, we’re off!”

We quickly flew back to Fuyu, where Charlotte, our captain, was waiting for us alongside everyone else that had already walked onto the ship.

“Next destination, lord Drake?” Charlotte asked, the blonde dwarf girl smiled at me, she had been having a blast in these journeys, although she didn’t quite participate in the big battles, she occasionally joined and fought with Fuyu. Her Unique Skills over boats and the like were also impressive and had been evolving over time.

“Our next destination should be… well, the closest continent we can find,” I said. “Hmmm, oh… I believe we can go to Svartalfheim right now, and cross through it to reach Vanaheim, where Sangre is.”

“W-We’re going to Svartalfheim?!” Charlotte suddenly panicked.

“Why yes, that’s what I said… what’s wrong?” I asked her.

“T-That’s my birth place…” she muttered.

“Oh, you escaped from your Kingdom, right, you were a dwarf princess…” Benladann said. “Wow, so we’re going back? We’re finally meeting your people, Charlotte!”

“Uuugh…” Charlotte didn’t seem to like the idea. “Lord Drake, can’t we change course?”

“No, we must take the quickest way there,” I said. “It’s urgent that we make haste as well, Charlotte…”

“Whatever problems you faced there, don’t worry! We’ll help you get through them, and if anybody tries to do anything to you, well, we’re here to not let that happen,” Miranda said with a gentle smile.

“That’s right, Charlotte, be at ease…” Fuyu’s voice echoed through the gigantic ship made of ice. “Perhaps you were alone once, but now you’re with all of us together, don’t worry. You’re no longer on your own in this world.”

“You guys… Damn it!” Charlotte groaned. “Fine, fine… let’s go! L-Let’s do this… back… back home…”

She gulped saliva, as she sailed into the horizon, using her powers to make Fuyu move even faster, making the oceans tremble before her gelid advance.

“Surely, Charlotte is not the only reason why we’re moving to the Svartalfheim continent right?” Yuki asked, looking at me with a suspicious expression. “Right, right?”

“Yeah, yeah, there’s someone else we have to meet too,” I nodded.

“Who?” Benladann asked, as she glanced the kids play on the deck.

“Alma,” I said. “The Elf Princess we briefly met back in the port city… who was freeing Oberon’s kidnaped slaves. She formed a group of people that goes out of their way to help those he had kidnaped and used for experiments… as, well, they went through the same as well.”

“So that’s why,” Miranda said. “I can hardly remember them, but I know there was a guy that could teleport, right? And Alma had some sort of weird power… what was it? She had infinite mana or something right?”

“Yeah, she had Endless Mana, an incredibly powerful Unique Skill,” I explained. “But also she was locked from advancing, forever stuck with a Rank 1 Mana Core as a result… not like it ever stopped her from doing ridiculous things though. Then there was her friend and close assistant… and I think he’s her boyfriend or something, his name was Hermes, I believe.”

“Oh yeah, Hermes!” Benladann nodded. “There was also a dragon with them! Wasn’t he? It was a Nature Dragon or something like that.”

“Root,” I said. “He is an unique being, not exactly a pure Nature Dragon either… he was born from a combination of various things I believe. I think he has a great grudge against Oberon, and I heard he knew him personally in the past.”

“What? Really?” Benladann asked.
