Pandora waited for the woman she came to visit to arrive; it was the swordsman's wife, Sebastian's wife.
Shortly later, a woman in her middle thirties arrived with a tea, offering one to Pandora; she took the second one and sat across from Pandora.
''Welcome, Sister Meera. It's good to see you. How is the leader doing?'' The woman with gray hair asked; of course, the leader she was referring to was none other than Alex.
''He is doing fine. He asked me to visit you and say hi. He will visit you and the others soon.'' Pandora responded; she conveyed Alex's message, and upon hearing this, Sebastian's wife felt like crying but managed not to do it in the end.
''That is good to know. I and the children and the others mothers can't wait to meet our benefactor.'' Sebastian's wife said, mentioning the other wives and children Alex was taking care of. He didn't have to because the time they shared was not that long, just a couple of days, but Alex did not care about this; those men were people he valued and promised to form a permanent party with, an Adventurer group whose name would shake the whole world. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, fate played a joke on them, and they died except for 3 party members, Alex, Gracier, and Meera, whom Alex rescued later.
Alex decided after that tragedy to support his former party members' families, he brought them to each house and made sure their children would go to the best schools, and he even promised to keep supporting them for two years. Nobody would have done what Alex was doing; he did this because he considered those dead as his comrades and brothers. So it's natural to look after your brother's family; it is what true brothers would do.
He was not doing this because he felt guilty. To begin with, what happened, in that tragedy had nothing to do with him; they happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Even so, Alex didn't abandon their family. It was truly a good act, and a good act never stays unpaid as there is a thing called karma; he was building good karma, which undoubtedly would help him in the future. In a sense, he could be called Samaritan, a Samaritan to his friend's families.
''Let's me visit the children. I think they must be playing in the garden, right?" Pandora asked with a smile, and Sebastian's wife nodded.
''Please go ahead. I'll join you after cleaning.'' Sebastian's wife said, and Pandora (Meera) nodded before heading to the garden located at the back of the house.
Once alone, Sebastian's wife sighed, and with her eyes filled with longing, she stared into the sky; the blue sky was particularly beautiful today as the sunlight felt warm on her cheek.
''Dear, go in peace. Your friend is watching over us, and he is trying to make a better world for us, for everyone to live in. Please bless him and pray for his success.'' She said with her hands in the form of prayers.

Foxia capital, Maria's room.
She could not sleep and was forced to leave her bed; just as she was about to take some fresh air, she coincidentally met Kuina in her nightgown.
''Oh? I never thought you would also have a sleepless night.'' Kuina said while covering her mouth and quietly chuckling.
Maria sighed and mumbled. ''A sleepless night is a chance to meditate, to feel the energy of the positive world sparking at my finger tips, asking to come in and let my dreams become their own night-time reality.''
''So poetic that I'm moved. Follow me to my chamber; let's take this opportunity to talk.'' Kuina suggested before turning around and walking back to her room.
Maria stopped for a moment before deciding to go; this would be an excellent opportunity to talk with this fox. Kuina entered first, and Maria followed behind.
The bedroom was her sacred cocoon, her place of safety in poetic repose. Only those she acknowledged having the right to enter such a sacred place.
'You should feel grateful.' Kuina thought while sitting on her queen-sized bed, she invited Maria to sit next to her, but she declined and brought her chair and sat on it.
''You know I have been jealous of you since our first meeting.'' Kuina declared while offering Maria a glass full of wine. She accepted and took a sip while waiting for Kuina to continue.
''You know, Jealousy is easier to see than one might expect; it certainly has no cloak of invisibility. When as saw you that night during the banquet, you were shinning more than anything; you were like a white mountain in the middle of frozen hell and someone who believed that I should shine than anyone else; you were an obstacle, so I tried to provoke you, you're my natural enemy. I vowed to shine brighter than you, to take everything from you, but unfortunately, I couldn't, and now we are about to share the same man, which I believed was impossible. I don't like you.''
''So do I,'' Maria responded while emptying her glass.
''I know while I don't like you, you're someone I greatly respect. It's a pain to admit it, but you're above me, I mean currently, as I plan to catch up to you soon. Let's have a proper match later to see who is better than the other.''
Maria nodded at this challenge as she could not wait but put this girl in her place, she would put her under her, and she would shake in fear just by seeing her. Just imagining this future, Maria could not hide her excitement and smile.
'Fufufu! Do you think you'll win? Never, I would have awakened my ninth tail by then, and I'll show you the horror of true nine tails, Fox. Fufufu! I will be the one standing above you.' Kuina thought while smiling; the two women said nothing more; they just smiled; however, if someone were there, they would have shivered because of the two energy clashing, red and white. Even while doing nothing, their auras were fighting each other, a nine tails Fox at one side and an Ice phoenix on the other side.
Two mystical beasts were fighting without a clear winner.

Dawn brings a sunlight crown, smiling upward at the black heavens, feeling how the passing night welcomes her more with each minute and hour. The sunlight makes rainbow diamonds that dance upon the canvas that is the wall.
Sunlight caressed Alex's skin as if to tell him to wake up. Alex woke up, still in her world; he was using Silveria's lap as a pillow.
''Thank you, Silveria, because of you, I slept like a baby. One month of ice cream.'' He promised her, and she smiled; her eyes shone; one of them seemed duller than the other; it was probably because she gifted it to him. Alex understood, and he secretly vowed to make better use of this.
''Status!" He called out; he was too eager to check his status as awesome things must be awaiting him.

''I've acquired two new abilities: Nemesis's Eye and Nemesis's Domain. I'm happy with this, but why did my Steel body skill disappear? Does this have something to do with Def stat increasing, reaching 5000?" Alex wondered, and he decided to seek Silveria's opinion.
