I spent the next few hours talking with Mary, Mist, and Celica. Through the week I spent being unconscious, they were slowly adapting to everything in our "wandering village". Apparently after the whole fight against Celeste, my parents quickly picked up the people of the orphanage in a very peculiar way…

"Well, Arafunn, your uncle, did something… rather surprising. He used his Wind Magic to lift the entire house off the ground, and flew it all the way outside the village…" Mary said.

"He did what?! Did uncle really do that?!" I asked in shock.

"Y-Yes… He used special magic to hide what he did, so nobody was able to actually see it at the end, but it was very shockingly surprising." Sighed Mary.

"We flew into the skies! Uncle Arafunn is very cool! I want to use wind magic one day, can I?" Wondered Mist.

"I believe you could, nobody is born without the ability to use magic of all elements, we simply have affinities that make an element stronger than others naturally, most of the time." I said as if I were imitating my mother's teachings.

"Oooh!" Mist got all pumped up. "Sylphy can you teach me magic?! Celeste used to teach me magic but she's…"

"I think I could! However, I am fairly sure my mother is way better at teaching Magic than I am." I said, head patting Mist. "How about she teaches you magic instead? I can ask her- Ah right she's busy with Zephy…"

"Yeah, that's why we didn't wanted to bother her…" Mary said. "I know a few spells, but Mist specializes a lot in Light and Life Magic, her healing spells were learned almost automatically."

"Amazing, you're a healer then, Mist! We just needed one for the party." Said Aquarina.

"I-I am?! I'll be a nun like Mary! So I have to heal well!" Mist giggled a bit, looking at Zack as if expecting his praise as well.

We looked at him with sharp eyes, until he understood.

"Y-Yeah, that's pretty cool." He said while nodding, scratching his head a bit out of embarrassment. Even for him it was quite clear Mist had a hard crush on him, so he felt slightly embarrassed now when she was near him. Despite being smaller than us, Mist had almost our same age. It seems her tribe is small sized, according to Mary.

"Ehehe, you can be a strong warrior in the front and I'll keep you healthy and safe, Zack!" She said, her eyes shining brightly, her second pair of eyes seemed to shine brighter than ever.

"Well that would be pretty useful." Said Zack with a smile, head patting Mist. He couldn't resist her cuteness at the end.

"Uwahh…"

Of course, she had a different reaction when he showed her affection than anybody else, blushing a bit.

"I wonder what magic I'm good at!" Said little Celica.

"Perhaps Darkness Magic?" I wondered.

I wasn't being racist or something because she was a Demon, but because I could sense within her soul that her affinity for Darkness was rather potent. Thanks to my upgraded Heavenly Sight, I was able to see through souls easily, and it also allowed me to detect affinities, elements which people are better than others.

"Darkness Magic? But that's scary magic… I want nature magic to grow flowers! I want to fill the world with pretty flowers!" Celica said innocently. "Like that, mama can always smile, like she does when I give her flowers!"

"Is that so dear?" Mary said with a smile, caressing Celica's fluffy hair.

"Sure thing then, I can teach you a good amount of Nature Magic Spells, growing flowers will be no problem if you put your mind into it!" I said, forgetting about making her learn darkness magic if she really didn't wanted to.

"Uwaah! Cool!" Celica said, jumping around like a little froggy, she lifted her teddy bear.

"Mister teddy we can make as many flowers as we want!" She said happily.

"I heard that flowers turn into tasty fruits too, did you know?" Wondered Mist.

"I didn't!" Said Celica while gasping. "So when I eat fruit, I am eating a flower too?!"

"Something like that! So maybe when you learn how to grow flowers, you can also make fruits!" Said Mist.

"Wooow!" Celica got even more pumped up. "Like that we'll never be hungry… OH! If I make tons of fruits, maybe nobody will ever suffer hunger again!"

"Yeah! I had the same idea!" Mist said.

"Let's learn how to grow fruits!" Said Celica.

"Alright!" Mist was decided.

Their wish was so cute and innocent that it made me feel rather moved… But that's true. Maybe if I help them with my endless Mana, healing the hunger of the world… can it be a possibility? There's lot of people starving everywhere, sometimes food lacks, or sometimes the rich take it all for themselves and sells it for ridiculous prices.

If we fill the world with so many trees bearing fruits daily everywhere, wouldn't hunger as a whole not be a real problem? Like that, people could dedicate themselves to improve the world as a whole without such a problem getting in the way.

…But maybe my thoughts are also childish? Can I even do such a thing?

"I believe if you set your mind into it, anything could be possible." Alice whispered to me.

Alice…

I guess we could give it a try while we are in our journey.

"Haha, growing fruits all over the world? That's nuts… Not even the heroes could do that." Zack said while giggling a bit.

"Hey, don't laugh at their dream, Zack! That's super rude!" I reprimanded him.

"A-Anyways." Mary said. "I guess we should be leaving soon, we don't want to disturb you, Sylphy." Said Mary.

"Oh no, I'll be going back to my own tent tonight, you can stay here and be with Celeste in this bed, no worries." I said.

"Really? Thank you." Mary sighed.

Like that, we moved back to our tents.

And Aquarina ended sneaking in the middle of the night into my bed, cuddling with me.

She seemed to have missed doing this.
