We have all set our departure date from Emas. Nar, Sas, Kara and Mara have mostly done their "formal" work and will accompany Saintess Rumia from Emas to Amleth on Sunday. Marianne's family originally thought of leaving before Sunday, but Marianne wanted to stay behind, so she will share a room with Kara and Mara when her family leaves early. Tio and Adnan help their family, something about dungeon problems preventing their families from trading. 

"Dungeon problems"? Is that the one Kat mentioned?" [Diana]

"Probably. The golems are all suddenly malfunctioning. There's no one with good earth magic going into the dungeon, whether from the Adventure Guild or the Ministry, even though the Guild and the Ministry claim to be there. They showed us the log, but so far none have shown up" [Tio].

"At this rate, it's better to go back to Amleth and let the matter be settled" [Adnan].

"Maybe I should explore the dungeon with Nar and Sas. Who knows, maybe we can find something. After the show, that is" [Diana].

"Make sure you go with your brother! I won't let you sneak around!" [Neloufa]

"Meow!" [Fie]

"Have some faith in me!" [Diana]

So far, there's no clue about the Illumination in Emas. Maybe we can find something in the dungeon. I can go in with Nar and Sas under the guise of training. Yes. That should be good. I'm sure Kat mentioned something about this land preventing Nar, Sas and Randy from entering the dungeon because they don't want to admit that they have no idea what's going on. They also didn't tell Saintess Rumia about it, and speaking of Saintess Rumia 

"Saintess Rumia wanted to meet me in person... I wonder if something happened. Would you mind going with me?" [Diana].

"To greet a saintess... I don't think my stomach can handle it" [Tio].

"Hearing it makes me afraid..." [Adnan]

"I'll pass, too" [Neloufa]

"You guys are no fun... All right, I'll just go to the church after rehearsal" [Diana]

Let's just hope that nagging old Cardinal Davis isn't there, otherwise he'll surely start nagging me in front of the saintess for various reasons. I guess I have to be in my best shape. I better pack some good clothes, so I can change after our rehearsal. 

"Here's the food the theater ordered. Can I come with you? I wanted to see the rehearsal too" [Siti].

"Sure" [Neloufa]

"I don't think you have to ask your brother, but is it okay if she..." [Diana]

"Absolutely" "Have fun" "Be careful out there" "Stay safe" "Here's some pocket money for snacks"

(They are even more... I don't know how to describe them... Extreme than the two heroes) [Tio]

Things are running smoothly in the theater. All the props and costumes are in perfect condition. Everyone has memorized the script backwards and forwards. We can all picture the flow of the play perfectly in our minds. Where to start. Which spell to use. The musical approach. But this is Miss Vita we are talking about, for her perfection is just a starting point. She encourages us all to get better and better. Of course, hearing her encouragement, we gave it our all. Not a sigh nor a complaint from anyone. 

Once again, everyone starts practicing on their own, even when we are resting. Even I find myself perfecting the spell to be used. It shouldn't just be a mirage spell. Far from it. One of the scenes required me to create a mini thunderstorm, and Miss Vita wanted a full-blown storm spell aimed at her. Even better if the lightning strikes right behind her. It's risky, sure, but she didn't mind. She wanted the audience to leave the theater in awe, without a single complaint or dissatisfaction. Of course, this excites me, as I can improve my magic skills and have fun at the same time. I have to thank Nar and Sas for their training, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help them.

After the rehearsal for the evening is over, I excuse myself to go to the church to meet Saintess Rumia. Siti accompanies me because I didn't know where the church was. 

On the way to the church, my danger sense activated a few times. Again, I couldn't find anything wrong. I even used a wide area search skill, only to be scolded by a passing knight of this land for carelessly and openly using a spell in a public place. My mistake.

At the church, where everyone was gathered around one of the chairs, I said hello and introduced myself. I don't think I needed to greet them fully as a noble would, just a simple hello is enough, but to my surprise

"Saint Rumia, your prediction is truly accurate!" [Princess Siti]

"It was foretold by the star. Besides, I also have the goddess to thank, otherwise I wouldn't even know that our young lady would come here today" [Saintess Rumia].

"Red hair. Church clothes. I'm sure you're Saintess Rumia, but who are you, long black hair lady? Why are you staring at me?" [Diana]

"My apologies. Where's my manners. I'm Princess Siti of Emas. I am self studying the art of witch by myself. Yesterday, I asked Saintess Rumia if she could help me find a teacher, a witch to be exact, and she simply told me that my help will arrive today at 4:30 pm. Looking at you, I can really feel that your soul has been protected by a powerful witch! Can you tell me more about this witch that protects you?" [Princess Siti]
