Everyone here surrounds Tio and asks about her well-being. She's happy to tell them that she's fine and that there's no scar left from the scary incident. They all breathe a sigh of relief, especially Kara, Mara, Marianne and Neloufa, who was not with us. 

Tio, Adnan and I, after returning to Amleth, take a day off from school to fully recover. If you ask me, Tio should take the whole week off, but she doesn't want to. Her reason, better to move than to sit idle. 

I still remember on our way back, we encountered a few of those strange black colored monsters and caught one of them to present to the mages. It will definitely shed some light on what they will face if this creature knocks on the door of the land.

I also vividly remember how the Granny Demon scolded me until tomorrow. Even when my brother and sister were there, she showed absolutely no mercy as she scolded me for being careless. To add insult to injury, Nar of all people joined in and added his own lecture! Even though they were all there, no one wanted to save me or my ear from her nagging! Such treachery!

As school comes to an end, Tio, Marianne and I go to our arts and crafts club. We are the first to arrive and yet we spare no time to start our crafts. I am still making a bunch of clothes for Dana's teddy bear. I made it so that it complements whatever she is wearing. Tio and Marianne are also interested in it and will join me from time to time.

"Shouldn't that red tie make it better?" [Diana].

"That's what every teddy bear will wear, so we should be more creative" [Marianne].

"Objection. Every Teddy Bear wears a tie just because it looks good on them" [Tio].

"I agree with Tio on this one" [Diana].

As we are having a debate, Saintess Rumia and Liya have arrived. There are join with others, and since they see us having our little debate, today's club activity is with this little project of mine.

Now we are divided into two groups. Marianne's side, which wants to make something more out of a norm, or Tio's side, which emphasizes that something that's already perfect should be left as it is. Since this is my little project, I'll be the judge and sit right in between the two groups. Saintess Rumia will join me as well, simply because we can't have a saintess debating something so unimportant (according to Liya which will also joining us).

As the little debate continued, Liya decided to have a battle of teddy bear dresses. The group that comes up with the most eye-catching teddy bear dresses will win. Since there's only one teddy bear in the club, everyone starts brainstorming.

"I'm glad Tio is okay" [Liya].

"True, unfortunately there is still some trauma on her heart. She hasn't shown it yet, but it's still there, though it's nothing that time can't heal" [Saintess Rumia].

"Saintess... If that's what you said, then it must be the truth, and I will do my best to help her" [Liya].

"As will I" [Diana].

That's to be expected. I had a nightmare about it myself, although it's a distant memory now. While we are on the subject

"Why did the church do something so terrible?" [Diana].

"Even if I could answer for every one of them, I think the answer is simple, they're stray" [Saintess Rumia].

"Because of The Illumination Group?" [Diana]

"Whether it's The Illumination making them stray or The Illumination taking root because of the strays, I'm not sure, though they are so closely related that it shouldn't matter which is which. The Goddess wants every man and woman to be her arms and legs, to reach out to each other so that we can strive for the better, and yet not every vein has good blood flowing through it. Some are blocked because of dirt from within, while others are torn because of external forces, and yet we, still here, each of us, still alive, still doing our best to help each other, so you needn't worry about what happens in Gastrium. [Saintess Rumia]

"Can I join you as well?" [Diana]

It's spontaneous, but I have a feeling that Saintess Rumia will do something about it, so I volunteer to help her.

"There is something you can do" [Saintess Rumia].

"And what is that?" [Diana]

"Keep being a good little girl" [Saintess Rumia].

"Boo... Not the answer I was looking for" [Diana]

"And times up! Shall we see the results?" (This is a serious conversation between them, I couldn't even intervene) [Liya]

Since the three of us are the judges, we throw in our comments, but ultimately this is for Dana's teddy bear. I'm amazed when every single one of us spontaneously decides to look for Dana, who will be in the cooking club today. Needless to say, the Cooking Club is divided between the two sides, so the debate continues, but this time with more tea and freshly cooked sweets. Dana, on the other hand, sighs and turns beet red.
