Ding!
[Act VI] of the Event Quest has been completed]
[You have not only saved Florie from her possession but also healed her heart through your sweet words, comforting Nieve so she would be able to bring the love Florie needed to feel better with herself, but you have also been given the power to heal the fairies. Now, you have not only accomplished an incredible feat with your friends at defeating and healing Florie, but you've also healed everybody that was inflicted with the Disease Curse, including the Queen of Fairies.]
[Act VII] Of the Event Quest [Defeat the Evil of the Forest] has Started]
[Now, the last Act is upon you, bring the end to the Snake Queen, the one behind everything that has been happening, and defeat her for good. Explore her domains within the Miasmic Swamps and defeat her to bring peace to the Forest of Beginnings before it is too late! You only have 48 Hours to complete this Arc before the Evil Snake Queen decides to attack the vulnerable Fairy Queendom once more. Don't allow her to accomplish her selfish goals!]
When the Fairy Queen finally was healed, I saw all these new System messages pop up out of thin air. It seemed that the Even Quest last Act was upon us. After this, I will be able to both evolve and change Class, and even I could get a Subclass! And that's without even talking about all the saved up EXP we'll get, I might gain a few Levels right away after this. It's gonna be a lot of fun when that happens, honestly!
Currently, we were sitting around a small table, as the Fairy Queen, now fully healed, wanted to drink some tea which she had not drank in a while due to her disease making it so she ended puking anything she consumed. Now that things were better, she was given the opportunity to eat as much as she wanted, quickly bringing lots of sweets.
Of course, we just had a large celebration outside of the castle, where she celebrated the heal of everybody and called us heroes with the sleeping Acorn being carried by Titan's arms. It was very embarrassing to be honest. Titan in specific had some sort of terror to being in front of so many people.
"Thank you for everything you've done… I never thought I would be healed in such a miraculous way before." Sighed the Fairy Queen with a smile. "For now, what do you plan to do?"
"We'll go tomorrow to defeat the Snake." I said.
"Yeah, we agreed to that." Titan added.
"Hmmm… I am a bit sleepy right now, to be honest." Sighed Achlys.
"Well, I wouldn't blame you all, you seem very tired…" Giggled the Fairy Queen. "If possible, I would like to help you tomorrow."
"Eh?!" I asked in shock.
"W-Wait a second! You can't come help us after you were sickly…!" Titan said. Mark was always a considerate man.
"B-But I could supply you with healing and enhancement magic. I really want to help because… The Snake Queen was once my friend." Sighed the Queen.
"But what about protecting the country? While we are out, it will be left defenseless." Said Rita.
"R-Right… But still I…!" The Queen tried to convince us, but it was obviously not going to work.
"No, my queen, please stay in here for now." Said Nieve.
"Nieve…" Sighed the Queen, seemingly quite gloomy that she was being left out. But there was no helping it, she wasn't fit to fight with us. The swamps were probably a high-level dungeon too for all we knew.
"Don't worry, we'll get it done by ourselves." I reassured her. "More importantly, we really need to go to sleep by now, so we are leaving…" I sighed. "I'm sorry for leaving so abruptly."
"Oh no, it doesn't matter, please take care, we will be waiting for you." The queen's charming smile seemed soothing to our hearts, as we nodded and quickly logged out.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside of my room once more. It was quite late, being 7 PM, so I quickly decided to go to the bathroom and then begin making a very late dinner. My daughter was inside of her room with Anna, I think, so I should probably cook them something out. As I made dinner, I looked into my phone occasionally, finding a few messages from Mark.
[Mark: I'm quite nervous about going to your parents' house and all… Is it really okay for me to go? You can still cancel it if you want to.]
[Mark: Sorry for being like this, I just… I don't feel like I deserve it.]
[Mark: After all we are just coworkers, right? Maybe friends but still… It is certainly not the same level as your own friends…]
Damn, I didn't thought Mark would suddenly get like this… Does he really belittles himself so much? Of course he's deserving of coming. I hate going back on my words as well. And he's a polite and good young man, he's a good friend, I'm sure my family won't mind him.
[Elayne: No, Mark, stop. Don't feel like this. You're my precious friend. Its rare for women at my age to have male friends, you know? But unlike other friend I have… You're an honest and fun guy to be around with, and not as insane as her… So don't say that stuff, we are going, you want it or not!]
After leaving it at that, I continued cooking, deciding to make some white rice to accompany the steak I was preparing with some garlic and oregano on top. The smell of the steak was delicious.
After ten minutes, I received another message from Mark.
[Mark: Sorry for saying those things… It wasn't my intention to make you feel bad about it. I'll go if you want to, I'll bring some gifts for your parents as well. I'll try to enjoy the trip, it has been a long time since I went to the countryside. Maybe locking myself in the city is making me have too many depressive thoughts. Sorry about that again.]
[Elayne: No need to apologize, Mark. It's alright. I might had done it a bit out of nowhere, but I like seeing you smiling.]
[Mark is typing…]
W-Wait a second, I think I overdid it… It sounds like I'm just flirting now!
