Northeast Region / Mild Green Hill

North Coast Palace /

In the living room, a girl was being confused by the news she just got.

"What should I do?! What should I do?!"

The girl was Elisa. 

After the Catastrophe Beast that attacked the Middle Region was defeated, she returned to the Northeast Region on Ars' orders.

She actually did not want to get back that early. Because she still wants to linger at Saint Arcane Academy.

If it weren't for Ars' promise that he would take her to the newest Luminous Cave, which Ars found on Western Great Mountain, Elisa would have been whining and asking to linger in Mutiara City.

However, she just received news from her big sister, Sylvia Shield, that her big sister has been confirmed to be pregnant. 

"Aa-aa-aahh! Should I go back to Mutiara City to congratulate Sylvia big sis? But what if I leave and Ars comes back? Aaaahh! What should I do?"

Elisa was so confused as to what to do.

The news about Sylvia getting pregnant was so sudden. 

Maybe Sylvia thought that she already pregnant before it. But waiting for more certainty before spreading the word.

Then, when she gave the news to her little sister, the little sister got confused because of her own schedule.

"What's wrong, Elisa?"

Fortunately, a life saver came at the right time. Not actually a lifesaver, but advice from an older person might help Elisa. 

"Miss Arlene! Sylvia big sis is pregnant!"

Arlene not a relative of Sylvia, but she got surprised at that news. Somehow she whispered something. 

"How come she became the first one? Did Ars..."

"Miss Arlene?"

Elisa quite curious about Arlene's sudden change of attitude. But don't want to interfere because it might be an adult problem.

"O-oh, yeah. Then, what makes you that confused?"

"I want to go to Mutiara City to congratulate Sylvia big sis. But I have a promise with Ars to go to the new Luminous Cave in Western Great Mountain!"

Elisa was really confused about what she was going to do. 

Looking at the confused Elisa, Arlene wondering. 'Couldn't she go tomorrow or ask Ars to drive her?'

"What should I do?"

"Actually, Ars just returned from the Black Dragon Kingdom."

"Really?!"

"Yes. He is in his office now."

"Alright! I'm going to meet him!"

As fast as the wind, Elisa immediately went to see Ars.

"Don't go straight into his office because Huxian is still with him. And she's gone."

Elisa, who can't think clearly, wants to go directly to Ars to discuss the problem that is confusing her.

"Good morning, Miss Skadi!"

"Morning. Don't run in a dress like that."

Elisa didn't care about anything around and go straight to Ars' office.

Arriving at the office, she immediately opened the door and shouted: "Ars!"

"I haven't slept and you aren't satisfied yet?"

"This will be the last. Come on, before your little Elisa – she is here."

In the room, Huxian was sitting on Ars' lap trying to take off her clothes. That's where Elisa came in and witnessed everything. 

There, Ars lifts Huxian, and throws the Fox away.

"Kya!"

Then he focused on the table where there was one paper he needed to work on.

"You heard about Sylvia?" asked Ars. 

It turned out that Ars already got the news too. So he knew what Elisa wanted to ask.

With great courage, Elisa walked over to Ars' table. Then ask.

"Ars, can you take me – "

"I won't."

"-to Mutiara City before we go to- eh?"

Elisa did not yet finish her words. But Ars already answered her question. 

Surprisingly, she was not the only one who was confused. Ars loss in the moment, too.

"What was it again?"

So Ars asked Elisa to repeat her request.

"Um. I want to ask you to take me to Mutiara City before we go to Luminous Cave."

It was not a difficult request that Ars had to answer directly with a 'won't'.

"But, if you cannot, I won't force it. I can ask Miss Arlene to –"

"Alright, let's go there then."

Elisa was once again confused by Ars' sudden attitude.

For some reason, he looks unstable when walking.

"Really? If you have more important business, then –"

"I need to go to the guild to deliver this file. So, let's go."

With that, Ars took them to Mutiara City in a blink of an eye.

Mutiara City / Downtown 

"Uuughh."

Elisa felt dizzy after experiencing Ars' teleportation.

She knew that Ars had an ability to teleport. But that was her first time experienced it. 

It felt like your body was split in two during the teleportation, then slowly merged into one again with a sickening feeling.

"I will go to the Guild. Meet me there."

Amazingly, Ars didn't feel anything. He can walk casually after feeling such nausea experience. 

Being left, Elisa could see that Ars walked unsteadily to the Guild. 

She wanted to stop Ars and asked if he is okay. But given Ars' character, he would definitely say that he is fine.

"Alright, I would ask him after congratulating big sis."

Sylvia first, then Ars. 

With that, Elisa running to Major Building, which is not that far from their teleportation point. 

In the Major Office, she found that her big sister is still working like usual. 

After the Shield City's Catastrophe Beast, Sylvia became a gentler person. She no longer has a high attitude and starts to think of Elisa as a younger sister.

But that time, Sylvia became gentler than usual. She almost looked like their mother, Maria Christina.

Elisa's arrival was sudden, but Sylvia took her time to serve her sister.

Elisa directly stated the intention of her arrival. Sylvia answered Elisa's question with a little sense of embarassment and proud. 

Then Elisa asked. is being pregnant a form of maturity?

That was difficult for Sylvia to answer. Because that was her first time of being pregnant. 

As the big sister of the family, even though Sylvia felt that she still not matured yet, she answered Elisa's question with a form of dignity.

Elisa will soon become an adult in terms of age. So she wants a lot of lessons to be a mature person from the adult she knows, especially from her sister.

Then Sylvia gave the best answer she could think of. 

"To become an adult is a thing you experience yourself."

~

Elisa done taking her time with Sylvia. That was so fun because Sylvia talked a lot of things with her. 

Her big sister really changes a lot after Shield City's Catastrophe Beast. Even though she became one of Ars' women, that does not matter. 

She did not envy or hate Ars for having a harem. Because she did not own Ars in the first place. Plus, Ars' harem is dependable adult, and all of them were kind to Elisa.

At that time, the man who owned the Harem was in the Guild, waiting for her. 

She did not know what Ars did there. She just knows Ars was waiting for her so they can go to the new Luminous Cave.

Suddenly, the city speaker sounded. That kind of sound was a kind of Floor type of announcement used by Abyssal Guild. There will be a big announcement coming. 

Everyone fell silent to listen to the announcement.

"[The entire area of today's Floor 2 has been purchased under the name of Greedy Young Master]"
