I explained to my family what we had talked about with Katherine, and our plans regarding her departure. According to her, the only way to remake her contract or rewrite it is by going to the Realm Of Avalon and eting the King of Fairies Oberon himself in person and ask him for that… Which by itself seed ridiculous, but at the sa ti, we do have a good relationship with him, right? He even sent a damn love letter, so I could probably…
Uh, use my "womanly charm" to ask him to do it for ? Maybe that could work right? I'm not too used to doing that though, I'm a really awkward woman if anything, acting like a seductress is really not my forte… But to keep Katherine around, I'm willing to go ask him personally, at the very least.
However, I don't want to make Mark upset, so I didn't disclose that information. I don't intend to cheat with soone else, even less go to bed with that fairy king or sothing, I am not that type of person at all… But still, I don't want to make him mad.
Ugh, now I feel a bit bad, maybe I'll just try to ask him nicely or offer so sort of treasure from Arcadia- Wait that would work pretty well right? Maybe I could even show him sothing nice and cool from another world and he'll be super happy about it, who knows.
Perhaps I cannot really be his partner or lover as he might wish, but I could present him other single won at his level of divinity, such as Lady Verdant or even Titania?
Fairy King and Fairy Queen… Yeah, that could do it!
"Anyway, what do you think?" I asked them nervously. "I… Uh, I know it's a lot but…"
"Do we really need to do so much for… I an, nothing against Katherine but she's only been with us for a month…" Said Elena. "Mom, do you really think it's worth your ti and effort to travel to not one, but TWO whole realms to get this contract? Isn't this too much?"
"I-I don't really agree with that though, Katherine is a friend of mine as well, we often talk, despite not being seen doing so…" Monica muttered. "She is a nice person and has taught how to control my Mana. If we could keep her around much longer, maybe the trip would be worth it? I don't mind coming along!"
"E-Eh? Ah…" Elena felt a bit surprised about Monica's words.
"Hmm, I kind of agree with Elena's words a bit…" Said Lily. "But that mostly because I haven't interacted with this fairy that much, but I know she's a good person and beloved by Elayne and Monica, and perhaps many more… Also going to other Realms sounds rather exciting! At my age, I kind of want to visit all sorts of places and make new mories, as I've realized I lived a rather plain and boring life, wasting away my youth with responsibilities that led to almost nothing… I'm willing to risk my life for a friend that has helped many tis already too. I've got the power to do so, at least."
"Thanks Lily… I'm sorry for dragging you into this…" I sighed.
"Don't worry about it, Elayne, I'm just happy to co with you into this little trip~!" Lily smiled.
"I'm going too!" Gabriel said. "I can go right? Katherine is also my friend! I don't want her to leave forever… I want to tell the King of Fairies that she's my friend! I am sure he will listen to maybe… We have to try at least, right?"
"Yes we have, well said Gabriel," I nodded. "Thank you for joining us as well! I'll bring you along, if it's possible… I don't know if there are rules against angels or sothing though."
"I'm sure it'll be fine," Katherine said. "Thanks for saying that though Gabriel, it's really appreciated! You're also a good friend and a good boy."
"Heheh!" Gabriel got a bit embarrassed of being praised, giggling adorably.
"Hah, I guess I have little saying on this, I'm going too… It might prove to be a nice way to train and get stronger at the very least," Elena said. "Though, mom, can you upgrade my knife like you did with Mark's knife?"
"My teddy bear, I wonder if it can be upgraded too?" Monica asked.
"Sure, I'll try," I nodded. "And about the Teddy Bear, I don't know if it can be done in the forge itself, it'll burn…"
"Oh…" Monica sighed, looking down in disappointnt.
"However, it should be possible to upgrade it through the alchemy cauldron by soaking it on the liquid mana and letting it absorb compatible materials," I explained. "If the alchemy cauldron boils with mana using divine forging spirit flas, then it should give it a similar effect."
"Oooh!" Monica's eyes looked happier out of nowhere, as she was easily able to change her mood all the ti. "That sounds great!"
"So when are we departing?" Wondered Lily.
"Oh right, it's tomorrow…" I said. "Is it fine?"
"I guess! Have you told Rita about it?" Wondered Lily.
"Not yet, I'll tell her and Jenny about it and wait for their response," I said. "For now, we're just going to go to sleep and wake up early tomorrow so we can-"
"Ah right!" Gabriel interrupted . "The Urban Spirits, big sis! I think they're already here; would you like to receive them?"
"Right! I completely forgot about them, Julio did go fetch them, but they sure took a while," I said. "Are they okay?"
"Yes, but so of them seem a bit tired," said Gabriel.
"Okay, I guess I'll go check on them," I nodded. "Let's go."
At the end, mostly everyone else ca by my side to check on these so-called Urban Spirits, Julio the Stabbed wasn't the only one after all, he even said there was a "Wendigo" Urban Spirit within his group.
