The morning arrived at full swing with a lot to do, bath, breakfast, and then teaching a literal angel and three polymorphing druids from Europe about common sense and manners. The latter had yet to do any offense, but I wasn't going to risk.
This house had one last room I had personally cleansed for them using my inventory last night, I had left three beds, and it even had a big window leading outside, which I left open at their request. However, when they ca after I called them, they were in their animal forms.
And ended confessing to that…
"I'm sorry, we couldn't get used to sleeping in those beds…" sighed Rudras. "It was much more comfortable to sleep in the soil and the soft grasslands, or inside a hollow tree!"
"Although our human forms are our original appearances, most of the ti we take upon animal forms, so its hard to get used to sleep outside of the nest I made," said Judith.
" neither, hohoh," laughed Jannis. "We apologize, goddess. We know you invited us to live in your palace with the kindness of your heart, but… we simply can't. However, we will gladly continue living in the garden if you allow us."
"I… well, it's fine I suppose," I nodded. "But you can co in any ti you want, to eat too, at least. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner! You're okay with that?"
"Y-Yes, we're fine with that," nodded Rudras. "Honestly, we've never eaten so well before. After what I ate last night, I felt so full of energy, I went to hunt down Hollows and also scanned most of the surrounding neighborhoods, there seems to be no foes at sight!"
"I accompanied him…" Judith confessed while feeling a bit embarrassed.
"The energy of youth…" sighed grandma Jannis. "We'll gladly take that offer, goddess. This breakfast is very delicious already. The tea is nice, and these sweets are very yummy."
"I'm glad you liked it, Grandma Jannis," I smiled. "Please feel free to eat as much as you want! You're now part of the family."
And after that little conversation, my commonsense classes continued, it lasted for only a couple dozen of minutes, but it taught them everything they needed to know, Gabriel also promised to do as I told him.
The Druids also told that they might not be present for every single al, but they would try to be present for most of them, and I guess that was fine, I can't force them here, but at the very least we're connecting more now.
Now that all of the botherso stuff was done, we were finally able to relax for a bit, we ate, and then, once Rose and Albert arrived, we talked about what happened yesterday.
They talked with us about the prize money of having slain Tyrone, which actually belonged to everyone that participated… Judith forfeited it though, and so did the other druids, saying it belonged to .
So at the end, the money was going to be split between , Rita, Lily, Jenny, Elisa, and Monica. It was a lot of money so even if it was split, it was a gigantic amount… Though, it was going to be split based on contribution, those that fought the most, the druids (which gave up their money to ) and Elisa and Monica would get a lot of it.
Then Rita, Lily, and Jenny would get three other parts of it… And well, I couldn't care less honestly, but money was… good, most of the ti I suppose.
Anyways, once that talk was done, the real talk started.
"From everything we've researched… There are a few clues about why this attack was prograd and how," said Rose.
"The first one is that soone is aiming to kill you, Elayne," said Albert. "Probably soone from the secret societies of the world, the supernatural world, the underworld, whatever na you can give to them."
"Tyrone is a hitman, so he was definitely paid by soone else to co and kill you and your family," said Rose. "And about investigation, our specialized investigators are continuing their work, using special artifacts that can track magic signals to find where Martine went to. But until then, there's little we can do otherwise."
"Hmm, I guess that's that," I sighed.
Well, I can already guess why they attacked us, whoever sent them here probably knows about Arcadia, and knew what was happening there. Hence, they used the opportunity when we were fighting there to protect the Luminous Kingdom to attack us, finding us on our most defenseless state.
The thing is, these people weren't Demons summoned out of nowhere either, these were all humans, although they were Cursed Energy Sorcerers, and seed to have made pacts with Demons, they weren't demons nor demon vessels, but just humans.
Demons usually don't manage whole organizations, according to what Hellberos said, so whoever managed them is also a human, maybe they're connected with demons and the demon king of the end though, or maybe all of them at once.
And whoever is this person… They're dangerous, perhaps even more dangerous than the actual demons, a person that lives in our world, possess money and influence, and can send people as strong as Tyrone to kill us…
"It surprising, you're being protected by the governnt so, whoever sent a hitman to you must also belong to a powerful organization," said Albert.
"However, this isn't just your fight, Elayne, so don't worry," Rose smiled. "If they ca here they also attacked SWORD, and now the whole governnt is going to get going and, once we find clues, a whole war might happen, sothing that hasn't happened in years."

"A-A war?!" I gasped.
"Yes, underworld wars are… of course, hidden from plain sight," said Albert. "But when two organizations clash against one another, wars happen, usually we either invade one another's territories, or an empty territory is chosen for everything to unfold."
"Until then, rest and recover," said Rose. "We'll be working to ensure your safety and that of your family."
"Thanks…" I nodded, sighing.
Although I appreciated their help, I wasn't going to act like soone that needed protection.
I'll show them I'm not soone they can ss around with.
