Chapter 719 Fixing Agartha's Walls
-----
After ignoring Celeste\'s perverted comments, we moved to our next assignment.
Agh, quite honestly I ended feeling quite embarrassed, and now my mind is constantly thinking on that! Damn Celeste! I\'m going to punish her somehow… Maybe I will stop helping her on improving her alchemy.
Anyways, we made our way through the town of Agartha into the Great Gates that protected the entire city, which was surrounded by enormous walls that took us a few years to reconstruct.
"Young lady Sylph and her friends! I am glad to see you! Lord Allan just told me you were all coming today for your last test! I am glad." Said Eustace, greeting us. "Prepare yourselves!"
"Ah, hello Mister Eustace." I said with a smile. "But yeah, it is not really a test, more like a task…"
Eustace was the Knight Commander of Agartha, a very strong man said to have a Physique of Tier 7! He was the strongest sword master of the city after all the heroes. Maybe I might be stronger by abusing Sunshine plus Dragon Heart, I do remember beating him before using only Sunshine.
But that was mostly because he went easy on me. If he fought while going completely all out… Well, I am not so sure anymore, the difference in power between tiers became bigger and bigger the higher they are.
"Ahahaha! Right!" He said. "Already by having conquered two dungeons and beating a Demon Lord subject all by yourselves more than proves your amazing strength, I even heard you defeated some sort of divine sea dragon monster?! You\'ve grown so much, kids! I feel like at any time you\'re going to surpass me, hahaha!"
"I bet we already did." Aquarina said with a giggle.
"Hahaha, I like your attitude." He smiled. "In this task you need to do today, you\'ll have to prove me your endurance, courage, strength, and power…"
He quickly began exuding a powerful aura.
"I bet it must be something like… defending the city from monsters." Zack said.
"Nah, it is a fight against all the knights!" Aquarina said.
"Maybe we have to fight the commander?" Asked Mist. "I don\'t wanna…"
"Fight with Knight Commander?! T-That\'s a bit too scary!" Said Zephy, hiding behind Celica.
"Hehehe, don\'t worry Lord Zephy, Mister Teddy and his friends will protect us." Celica said, caressing my brother\'s head.
"C-Celica…" Zephy used this opportunity to hug her to his heart\'s content.
Hmmm, it is beginning to get a bit suspicious, but I am already guessing he likes her a bit.
"Hahaha, no, it is none of those things kids." Laughed Eustace. "For today\'s task…!"
Suddenly, we walked out of Agartha and looked into the walls.
They were all looking ruined, destroyed, and barely standing.
Yep, this was our task.
"I want you to help us repair all the walls! It has been a few years since we made them but due to the strong monsters around these lands, their attacks often leave big marks in our walls, repairing them and if possible, reinforcing them is a task given to you after proving your amazing magical abilities." He said. "We can help by bringing materials and the like."
Eustace was not kidding, this was his "great" test. Everyone was left disappointed. Well yeah, it wasn\'t going to be an epic fight or something…
Ding!

[Time Limit: 5 Hours.]
Woah the rewards are not holding back at all! A Grade Potions for Proficiency, Strengthening, and Runes! Sweet! The Time Limit is very short, I guess it is a challenge to complete this quickly so I can get the rewards, huh?
"Alright! Let\'s get to it, everyone! Let\'s do our best and finish this off quickly!" I celebrated.
Everyone raised an eyebrow by seeing me so energetic.
"Eustace, bring the knights, bring all the materials you\'ve got, RIGHT NOW!" I said, quickly hurrying up.
"O-Oh! Sure, young lady!" He said with a giggle. "I am glad you\'re so energetic and willing to help! It seems you\'ve truly grown up from the former spoiled little young lady we were so used to, haha."
"H-Hey don\'t call me spoiled." I sighed. "Now bring the things already! All of you, start moving too!" I told to the nearby knights.
"Y-Yes young lady!"
"Lady Sylph is so cute as always~!"
"She\'s so energetic too!"
"Just being around her gives me a lot of energy too, her energetic personality is contagious, hahaha!"
"She reminds me of my little daughter."
My friends were surprised over my sudden boost of confidence.
"Hey you really want to do this?" Zack was shocked.
"B-But of course! It is the most vital thing in the city, Zack! Do you want us to get invaded by monsters or something?" I sighed.
"R-Right, I guess you\'re right." He realized.
"It is a bit lame because I wanted some fighting to practice my new skills and stuff, but I guess this is fine as well~" Aquarina said with a smile. "I\'ll help you out, Sylphy, after all this country is also my home."
"Well I couldn\'t had expected anything less from my future wife." I giggled.
"G-Geez, that\'s a bit embarrassing!" She said while blushing.
"F-Future wife already?!" Zack was surprised. "You\'ve planned far in the future, huh?"
"Zack, will you be my future husband then?" Mist asked.
"E-Eh?! Eeeeh?!"
He was really embarrassed with that question out of nowhere…
