Nephi watched the outside world happily, as I checked the system messages I\'ve been ignoring for a bit…

[You have slain the [Giant Mechanical Guardian (Tier ?: Rank ?)] x4]

[Your Party have slain the [Giant Mechanical Guardian: Spider  (Tier ?: Rank ?)] x1]

[Your earned EXP has been multiplied through your Skills.]

[You earned 1400000 EXP]

[Your Familiars have earned a large quantity of EXP!]

[Naturia] Level has increased from Level 14 to Level 22!]

[Ignatius] Level has increased from Level 14 to Level 22!]

[Furoh] Level has increased from Level 14 to Level 22!]

[Beelzebub] and [Curse] have accumulated EXP]

[Accumulated EXP will be administrated once the subjects evolve.]

Woah, over a million EXP out of those little guys? This is really a surprising discovery for sure. But for now, I should just be happy about it. Although it feels weird I can\'t even know their actual Tiers, but maybe that\'s for the better. That way I don\'t feel as scared as I should had felt back then now when things are over.

Nephi obliterated the spider one without bathing an eye, but it seems that she ran out of energy after that. For some reason she cannot generate her own energy. Is this why she said she\'s a weapon? The gods made her a weapon… something that needs fuel, I suppose.

I guess we are a good match, as long as I am here, I can fuel her with Mana and energy so she can use her magic… or whatever power she used back then. Yeah, it is pretty nice.

For now we should be getting back in town.

"Ah, the young lady Sylph\'s back! Open the gates!"

Eustace and the guards opened the gates and greeted us with worried expressions in their faces.

"Young Lady you came way too late! Night is about to come already!" The tall and muscular elf said.

"I know, sorry about it." I apologized. "We are tired so we\'ll be going back home for now…"

"S-Sure… Have a good night." He sighed.

However, before we could sneak easily, he suddenly stopped us.

"Wait a second, who is she?" He asked. "I don\'t remember any girl with two hair colors with you before? Is she from another village or something? Where is she from? She seems human, but I\'ve never seen an human with two eye colors and hair colors before…"

Eustace you damn old man, can\'t you keep your mouth shut?!

"I am Nephi." Nephi said. "I am Sylphy\'s friend."

"Sylphy\'s friend… from where?" Eustace asked. "I\'ve never seen you before."

"From the ru-"

I quickly covered her mouth.

"From the ru… Rustic Village! Around tens of kilometers away from here, very far away, hiding in the forest… it is a few people mostly humans with weird hair colors." I laughed. "We\'ve known her for a while, since we started going out, but we never invited her here. So I wanted to let her sleep at our place and know more about civilization."

"…" Eustace narrowed his eyes. He was trying to see through us. "Well, alright… Be careful about bringing other strangers to our town, young lady. Sometimes bandits might try to get inside."

"Err, yeah, sorry." I quickly walked away with Nephi and the rest.

"Well that was very close." Sighed Celeste.

"Very, very close indeed!" Aquarina nodded.

"What\'s wrong with telling him about her true identity?" Mist had no idea.

"It is too dangerous, simply too risky! Never do it, Mist. Promise it to me." I told her.

"O-Okay, I promise…" Mist nodded while feeling slightly confused.

"Alright, alright, now that we can all relax. What do we do?" Celeste asked. "We should quickly get ready to explain things to your parents. Seeing how they\'re superheroes and whatever they\'re easily going to detect that she\'s a weirdo."

"Weirdo…?" Nephi wondered.

"Hey! Don\'t say those things to the girl!" I smacked Celeste\'s head.

"What\'s a weirdo?" Nephi asked innocently.

"Well, it\'s a person that is… weird." I said while sighing. "You\'re weird to us a bit, but there\'s nothing wrong with it, we are knowing one another."

"I see…" Nephi nodded happily.

"Also I\'ve gotta make the Elixir for Saphaley, if we can complete this today I can get some nice quest rewards…" I said while imagining the items I\'ll be gifted.

"Quest rewards? Do you even need the money that Saphaley is offering to us anyways?" Sighed Zack.

"I would gladly take it from your hands if you don\'t!" Celeste said shamelessly.

"No! That money\'s mine!" I said angrily. "…Actually, we\'ll have to divide it with everyone because all of you helped in your own ways. Ahem."

"Yeah, I guess." Said Zack.

"Ooh! Money? I don\'t have much money… Mary give us all a gold coin for our monthly salary, I always spend it too quickly…" Mist sighed.

"Oh, what do you spend it in?" I wondered.

"Cakes… and fruits… And meat! And bread… that one bread with cream inside…" Mist started drooling.

"Wait you\'re not even saving money, you\'re just spending it all in snacks!" Zack reprimanded Mist.

"Fweehh… What\'s wrong?" Cried Mist.

"You have to think more about your future, Mist. I am saving money for that future too. Mom taught me that." Zack said.

I guess Ninhursag has been teaching him well.

"Future…" Mist sighed. "I dunno what I\'ll be doing then…"

"I-I guess so." Zack sighed, petting her head. "But if you want to stick with us you\'ll need some capital at the end, right?"

"Huh… Ahh! But I can be your wife and then you pay for my stuff, Zack!" Mist smiled cutely.

Zack blushed a bit.

"T-That\'s… not what I meant!" He said while getting all flustered.

"Uwaah! I can\'t believe I said that…" Mist got flustered.

"Eh? You finally realize?" Sighed Zack.

"Wait, if I said that then it means… we\'ll have kids? Ahh… cute little Zacks and Mists…" Mist suddenly began to imagine a whole family with Zack.

"C-Can you stop having these weird thoughts?" Zack was at his limit of embarrassment.

Both are so cute together…
