Time really flies, doesn't it?

I feel like it's only yesterday, only yesterday that school vacation started. How wonderful it is to just be lazing around, not going to school. Just lazing around, playing with Fie. Just lazing around, playing with the giant nomad tribe. Just lazing around, practicing spells left and right. 

Oh, how I remember it's just like yesterday, when Tio and I were discussing golems and how to make a better one. Or how Neloufa, Marianne and I practiced our arts with Miss Eisheth and Vita at the Opera House. Or the time Adnan, Auger and the boys sparred with me to see who's the strongest (the answer is obviously me). I even vividly remember playing with Auntie Amleth, Kara and Mata when they were discussing this suspicious movement of the Empire. I was scolded, yes, but I will definitely help them. I said that with utmost confidence, which is why...

"So much homework... And this is all material for next year!" [Diana]

"You only have yourself to blame" [Nar].

"True. We warn you against it" [Sas]

"How about you Dana? Have you finished your revision?" [Khamisah]

"Thanks to Siti, Rumia, Liya and Veronica, yes, yes I have" [Dana]

"For once you actually put up a good front for her" [Sas]

"Be more like Dana. She's constantly working on her studies, slow and steady wins the race, unlike you who like to rush things at the last moment" [Nar].

"Forgive me for interfering, but Master Nar is right about this. Young Lady Diana, as Ledang and I had said, you're definitely neglecting some of your studies" [Head Maid].

"Yes..." [Diana]

"Come on, cheer up. I'll definitely help you..." (Wait... Did I learn this before?) [Dana]

"You will! Thank you so much! Dana really is the best!" [Diana]

"Of course I will! Definitely!" (Alice! Alice and Kat will definitely help me!) [Dana]

And to get a better place to study, we go to the library, or so I thought 

"Adventure Guild? Why? Isn't it loud there?" [Diana].

"True... But I just remembered that I have something to do there... Besides, we can study together with Alice and Kat. Alice used to be a top student at the same school, so she will definitely help us" [Dana].

"I see! You're absolutely right! Alright, let's go to the Adventure Guild" [Diana].

The two of us quickly packed our things and went to the Adventure Guild. This is the place I used to go to, so the faces are all familiar to me. 

The guild is busy as usual. Adventurers are doing quests left and right. Bards singing tales and exploits of others. Information floods in from left and right. It's noisy, so I don't see how this is a good place to study. Dana wanted to get help from Alice and Kat, and before she can call them, her pretty face turns into that of a devil when she sees that Alice is with an unknown guy I never saw before... Hmm... Actually, I have the feeling that I have seen this guy before, but I couldn't remember much.

"You again! How many times do I have to tell you not to bother Alice! Get out now!" [Dana]

"Disturb Alice? Did something happen?" [Diana]

"Nothing you need to know about. Now go! I don't care about your status as a duke's son. You're a disgrace!" [Dana]

Before the man could even argue, Dana pulled out her Gungnir and with her fierce face, the man couldn't utter a single word as he cowardly left. Not without throwing a tantrum first, of course 

"Aah! I remember now! That's the duke's son who tried to get my hand in marriage! Even his father once proposed to me. He and his father are perverts, according to Linda!" [Diana]

"H E. W H A T" [Dana]

Sister Dana's face became even more frightening at my remark. Even I am scared, but Alice just pinches Dana's right ear and tells her that she can handle it herself, but still

"I appreciate it. Sometimes they really need to be taught a lesson" [Alice].

"Absolutely right!" [Kat]

Those two dukes and their families really love to cause trouble, don't they? Can't they be like Jean's father or Marianne's father? Both Jean's father and Marianne's father are perfect gentlemen! As the succubus always said, they're men who age like fine wine. The older they get, the better they become. I don't know how, but both Marianne and Jean's father are good dukes, and I even eat with their families sometimes! They're definitely nice. 

"Which succubus gave you that line? I'll have a word with her" [Dana].

"Um... Anyway, study! Yes, that's right, we have to study! Alice, Kat, please help me!" [Diana]

I can't remember which one, but I feel like Dana will definitely forbid me from playing more often if I tell her more. Definitely something I don't want to do.

While Alice, Dana and Kat were helping me study, I noticed two familiar figures coming out of the office.

"Studying hard it seems. Good" [Eisheth].

"This is a strange place to do so, not that I wouldn't understand. A former top scorer of the Royal Academy is here with us" [Akela].

"And she will pursue an even higher education once she collects more money!" [Kat]

"Just take the scholarship that the Guild already provided, will you?" [Dana]

"Working as a receptionist has its own benefits, so I'll keep working and collecting money for my education" [Alice].

"You are really dedicated! I will learn to be just like you!" [Diana]

"Thank you" [Alice]

By the way, I noticed that both Miss Eisheth and Akela are often seen together now. Is something going on? My gut tells me so. Is it related to the fact that Sister Khamisah will soon be retiring as Saga?
