”Looks like weʼre already close!” Luminous said, pointing down at a large snow-covered mountain. On its center, there was an enormous fortress-like castle sitting there, connected with many other smaller buildings.

”That must be the Dwarven Country? This is the first time Iʼm seeing it myself!” Elfina said. ”Incredible…”

”I think it might be.” Frank nodded. ”They were right in the fortress thing; it is indeed a giant fortress sitting over a mountain… And right in front of the Demon Kingdom territory.”

”A large fortress indeed.” Ryo nodded. ”Though it still cannot compare to the entire Realm we used to govern.”

”The Realm of Vida is probably bigger than any country in here, hahaha!” Amiphossia laughed.

”Realm of Vida?” Asked Elfina confused.

”It is the Realm where we come from.” Sol explained. ”In our World, Genesis, the Realms were born when the world was shattered into pieces due to a war between the Ancient Gods. The surviving Gods took over these pieces and shaped them into their own Realms.”

”Woah, Genesis sounds like one hell of a world to visit!” Elfina was surprised.

”Right? Maybe weʼll bring you along!” Amiphossia giggled.

”I donʼt think we will.” I said. ”Elfina has to stay in her home… When it is the time to depart, weʼll have to say our goodbyes.”

”O-Oh…” Amiphossia sighed.

”We canʼt go with you?” Brunhild sighed.

”Iʼm sorry, but thatʼs something Iʼve decided for a while now.” I smiled. ”I donʼt want you guys to get involved in a war you donʼt belong, and it would be dangerous too. You should stay here once all things are done and protect your world.”

Maybe I was being too rough here, but it was important to let them know right away. I donʼt intend to put them into unnecessary danger, the problems of my world… Shouldnʼt really bother theirs.

Once the Demon King is gone, this world will be hopefully at peace, and I want for that peace and tranquility to remain, for that purpose, I donʼt want to put them into more unnecessary danger.

Though… remembering what Ervas said in the letter about the ”Usurpers of Destiny” made me rather worried, this world seems much more than what I thought originally.

”Kireina-sama…” Ariant sighed. ”I guess… sheʼs right…”

”Y-Yeah… Hahah… S-So anyways! Letʼs go see the dwarves!” Eriant tried to lift up the spirits.

”Yeah! The Dwarves from my world were small beardy guys, I bet theyʼre the same here, isnʼt it?” Laughed Ryo.

”More or less.” Elfina giggled. ”Iʼve heard they have developed amazing magical tools and magic technology never seen before.”

”Really? Like mechs and stuff?” Asked Amiphossia. ”Itʼs a pity we couldnʼt carry over our own mech armors! Mom, can you make mechs yet?”

”Ah, not yet. Though I think I could try making them if I learn a few new Skills, but for now I donʼt really want to focus on that.” I smiled gently. ”Once we get back home, Iʼll regain those powers anyways… Though if the necessity calls for it, I might get some related Skills, who knows?”

”Well, they were more like decoration for us anyways, I like to fight with my fists rather than with a huge piece of junk stuck to my body.” Ryo smiled.

”Yeah but they were cool pieces of junk!” Amiphossia sighed, crossing her arms. ”Oh well~ I have gained a lot of strength in this world already anyways. My Phantom Legion has grown much stronger too.”

”Ah, me too.” Ryo nodded. ”My body feels like it is strengthening a lot each time I level up, I missed that feeling a bit.”

”Right? It is a fantastic feeling.” Frank nodded. ”Oh! Weʼre getting closer. Luminous, are you descending?”

”Yeah, hold up.” Luminous nodded, slowly descending in front of the road leading inside the fortress city. The passerbyʼs didnʼt panicked seeing a giant dragon descend because I used Illusion Veil to cover us up and make us near invisible.

FLAAASH!

Once we were down into the floor, Luminous quickly used his ”Humanification” Skill, transforming into a tall and muscular white and silver scaled lizardman-like being. Even as this Skill reached a higher level, he still didnʼt looked like a human at all…

”Well, weʼre ready, letʼs go.” I nodded, as we walked into the road to the fortress city.

The people entering the city was a mixed bag of multiple races. Not just the more common Dwarves, who seemed to come specially covered on dirt and carrying buckets filled with precious ores, but there were also elves, from magicians, knights, and civilians, to humans and beast-kin too.

”So many races together… Though noneʼs a Giant.” Brunhild sighed in disappointment. She was currently in her shrunk down form, and so was Amiphossia, these two girls were so big they would scare the people.

I know it hurts that I cannot show my beloved daughter in her gigantic, glorious size, but it is a price we must pay to keep it low.

Though, our party was so peculiar that everyone ended glaring at us. From my own appearance resembling a dark and mystical fairy, to the huge Luminous as an albino lizardman, to the beautiful elven girls, to the heavily armored humans, the desert elves twins, and our gray skinned small giantess.

And of course, how to forget the bunch of Familiars I had at our side. Most of them didnʼt wanted to hide, so I brought them along. Ah, and about the Umbra World? It is slowly developing, so for now Iʼm not letting anybody inside there yet. Iʼll have to inspect it on my own later.

”Look, such a big, mixed party!”

”Indeed, thatʼs quite incredible.”

”Desert Elves, Wood Elves, a Lizardman, and… a fairy? And Humans too… Theyʼre just missing a dwarf!”

”Hahaha, been a while since weʼve seen such a big Adventurerʼs Party.”

”The women are so beautiful…”

”And those young men are also quite handsome.”

They were quite open in their comments, everyone could hear them, which only made everyone even more embarrassed… Thankfully, once we arrived at the gates, we were greeted by someone I didnʼt expect to see so soon.

”Hello, Kireina. We meet again in much different circumstances.”

”Oh my! Youʼre much more stunning than I imagined…”

It was Ervas and Veronica, waiting us at the gates!
