"By the way, we still haven't co up with a na for her!" Arabel suddenly said, turning to Idan and pointing at the fox cub.
"Indeed!" agreed Idan.
"Huh?" After hearing their conversation, Sierra and Eulalia finally paid attention to the fox cub.
Before that, they thought that the fox cub was just a Doppelganger who had taken on such a form. However, they realized from the couple's words that this was not the case, because the Doppelgangers already had their own nas: Ned and Bera.
"Isn't that a Doppelganger?" asked Eulalia, still hugging her doppelganger.
"No, — Arabel replied, showing the fox cub to them, who blinked at the others as if seeing them for the first ti, even though she had been secretly following them all this ti.
"How about Foxy?" Arabel suggested her na to Idan, looking at the fox cub.
"Isn't it too corny? Maybe a Canon?" suggested Idan with a smile, and Arabel just rolled her eyes at his joke.
"Be serious!" she scolded Idan.
"Alright, alright!" Idan conceded, smiling.
And it started!
They went through a lot of possible nas. Even the others joined in and offered their ideas, but they were all rejected by Idan and Arabel. Sotis even the fox shook her head, rejecting the suggested nas.
"Hehe, you can't choose a na for your pet, I don't know how you will choose a na for your child in the future!" joked Esma, and this caused embarrassnt for the couple. They looked at each other, and the others, seeing their awkwardness, couldn't help but smile.
"How about Coco?" suggested Idan.
"I like it! What about you?" Arabel asked the fox, and the fox, already tired of the endless discussion, heard this na, realized that it was not so bad, and nodded her head, agreeing and wanting to finally end this conversation.
"Okay, then from now on your na is Coco!" said Arabel with a smile and relief.
[Ding! A na for ??? fox cub is chosen — Coco!] — the System said, and in the status of the fox cub, a new na appeared in the na line in an empty place — Coco.
Arabel let the fox cub fall to the ground, but it did not want to leave Arabel's side and continued to follow her, glancing sideways at Idan.
During lunch, everyone beca curious about what Nemo was up to. They turned their attention to Idan, waiting for his answer. However, he just shrugged his shoulders, suggesting that they wait and see for themselves.
Idan was a little nervous himself. Now it all depended on Nemo himself.
The System itself could not give an absolute guarantee. She only referred to Nemo, noting that he had already been provided with all the necessary resources, and it was up to him how he would use them.
Everyone decided not to bother Nemo and wait for his return.
Ti passed, and soon everyone began to get nervous, as Nemo still did not appear.
"Esma, I want to talk to you about your request. Please think again and give your final answer tonight," Arabel addressed Es through a ntal link.
Almost a week has passed since the couple signed a contract with the doppelgangers. Tonight, Arabel and Idan will have the opportunity to use the System Points to form their second Stars and get the opportunity to sign a second contract.
Hearing Arabel's words, Esma was a little overjoyed, but she also took them seriously. She decided to think carefully about her decision to follow the couple to another world. During these few days spent together, she learned more about them, and she had a positive impression. Esma didn't mind following them.
However, the couple did not give a definite answer to her question. Esma also didn't know how the couple could take her with them. She understood perfectly well that a couple couldn't just take her by the hand and take her to another world—it didn't work that way.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Nemo finally left his tent. There was a small beast lying on his right shoulder, which seed to be very tired.
Nemo himself also looked a little different. He took off his cloak, and now everyone could clearly see the absence of his right arm below the elbow. He used to wear a prosthetic arm, but now he took it off completely before going out. However, Nemo did not take off his fancy mask and continued to wear it.
In addition, everyone noticed that Nemo's favorite shield, which he always carried with him, was missing. He held his sword in a scabbard in his left hand.
Nemo, feeling the eyes of others on him, calmly approached them and sat down in an empty seat.
"How's it going? Ready?" asked Idan, to which Nemo just nodded calmly.
"I'm hungry!" said Nemo through a ntal link.
"Good!" Everyone presents replied, allowing Nemo and the little beast to eat in the silence of waiting.
The little beast was surprised to see Coco, who was sitting next to Arabel. She wanted to run up to her, but Coco blinked one eye, giving her so signals. The beast didn't imdiately understand what was going on, but it soon realized, and from that mont on, she began to act as if she didn't know Coco.
The others, of course, couldn't help but notice their interaction and laugh at their antics.
After eating enough, Nemo sighed, picked up his sword and, shouldering the beast, headed for the barrier to finally fight the Temple Guardian, to fight with Geminia.
Under the gaze of the others, Nemo confidently broke through the barrier along with the beast, which was not stopped. Thanks to the contract, the beast had beco an integral part of Nemo, so the barrier couldn't stop her.
Nemo wasn't in a hurry, he was moving leisurely, approaching Geminia.
Geminia had been waiting for this mont with undisguised calmness since yesterday. For a being like her, it wasn't difficult to spend one day in inactivity. Every ti the Temple appeared on her territory, even if there were no candidates, she had to wait in the square. And in all these years, only a few have managed to reach this point and face it.
The most morable candidate for Geminia was a high elf. Ironically, she was the master of those young n who were challenging her now, and on whom she also pinned her hope.
It was precisely because the High Elf was the strongest of all the candidates that Geminia assud her form upon first eting this group.
Geminia and Nemo looked at each other and prepared for the upcoming "battle".
