"IT'S HUUURT!" An ordinary-looking person in the not-so ordinary looking place screamed as his deformed body.

A year and 5 month. Barely surviving from death and sacrificing pretty much everything, he came back from the hell.

"Ha…. Ha… Houshou Oujian…" The man remembered what happened a year and a half month ago. Just as the skill he stole from Grand Illusionist from Riseland worked on Oujian,

brilliantly tricking him into thinking that he got killed with the blow from Excalibur. Oujian had an doubt illusions still lowered his guard,

He managed to stab Oujian from behind. Just before he was going to search his memory regarding about treasure orbs… that damn brat.

That purple-haired brat with onion-like hair started screaming, then something around the air started burning up as the results…

Boom!

His body almost obliterated, if it wasn't that he stole the blood of immortal making him able to survive as long a single cell exists, he would have died already.

"Ki~kikiki… thinking about you, your daughter, and that little girl by your side… it's making my thing down there hard."

Don't mind him. It's his sexuality.

"Kushu! Tell me the whereabouts of Houshou Marine! She has the highest probability of carrying the Treasure Orbs." Kuru shouted as his wounds were almost fully healed.

From within the darkness, a shadow formed out an appearances as the former members of Oujian's smiled coldly.

-----

Perhaps it's because of destiny, or either because he was as close as Kuru when it exploded, Oujian regained his consciousness at the exact same date.

Looking around, it was nothing but green around, except for the mess he made, due to getting pushed by shockwaves.

For a year and 5 months, he has remained undetected, nor was even there a beast to attack him on his sleep.

Only an neutral monsters without intelligences and filled with immense hate for human would attack an dangerous entity like him.

However, neutral monsters didn't reside in this area. As Oujian looked around, he found his sword, Excalibur, stabbed on the ground in an strange way.

Oujian was never the type to think things hard, as long as his weapons was there, he didn't care anything else.

That was not the utmost importance for now. What mattered the most were, where he was, how much time has passed.

Oujian leaped onto the highest tree as he searched for the nearest place where many humans resides. From then, he'll search for the direction back to Treasure Vantage.

After all, it was Kuru he was talking about. He must've figured out that Treasure Orb doesn't belongs on me and will search up from the person he is the closest with.

Marine, Aqua, Femina and the rest of his crew was in danger.

-----

Meanwhile in the Treasure Vantage in one of the residences, were the sight of a maid.

She was all alone in the living room, as she washed the dirty plates, wiped on the tables, brooms the house, wash out the dirty clothes.

It is Aqua. Her appearances didn't change that much, although she grew up, it was all but a growth in her height and… very small change in the size of her bust.

After finishing out her chores, did she finally sigh in relax, as she got bored quite quickly.

She usually hates doing the maid chores but when she ended it, she feels empty because there's really nothing to do inside the house.

So she developed a game.

Holding the broom, Aqua took the plate as she threw it and caught on the tip of her broom, while also spinning in,

by putting in on rotational force, Aqua kept the plates on the tip of her brooms.

'Ahh… too boring… I want to do something… but what do I want to do?' Aqua's brain began to empty.

Aqua had no friends to play with, nothing to study with, nothing to pass time. Aqua' mind completely emptied out, as her hand stopped for a second.

*plang!*

Uncomfortable sound made out as the plates dropped from the broom, and broke into a pieces…

"Ahh! Crap! I did it again! H-how should I explain this to Femina-san!? She might get angry on me again! She's scary when she's angry…" Aqua began to speculate the worst thing that can happen to her.

All she could think was hiding it and hiding the broken will just make it worse, anything she hid easily gets found by Femina.

"Awawawa…" troubled, Aqua shook her hand as in to search for a way to fix the problem she caused.

"water, water, help me. Do something about the broken plates!" As blue light glimmered, out from her arm appeared a blue orbs.

By blue orbs, it is not a mana orb or something, but an watery orb which is more closer to esper rather than something caused by magic elements.

Small confused smile with lazy expression appeared from the watery orbs' orbital body as it swayed its body-face, trying to say something.

But of course, it couldn't talk. However, if translated this blue orb said: "Again? Solve your own problem."

Just like that, defying on its creator's will, it disappeared like an illusion, leaving Aqua's despaired face.

"I'm back~ ! Aqua, Marine~, pick me up…" the voice of woman sounded out from the door as Aqua's body slightly jumped in surprise.

Femina's voice were slightly shaky as her steps were swaying, if she was midst-battle, one would misunderstand that she's a master of drunken fist art from how unpredictable her stepping was.

But in truth, she was just a old-lady drunk. Drinking away her loneliness to not show it to her children.

"Mama! Welcome home! Aqua-chan broke the plate again!" If Aqua was nervous, then now she is despaired.

She had a face that looked wronged as she stared at Marine half-teared.

Then, Femina carried Marine under her embrace as she patted her head.

While Marine was enjoying the two soft mountain, Femina darkly looked at Aqua, suddenly losing her drunk expression. "Aqua-chan♡ let's go to my room after, shall we?"

Noticing her daughter's lecherous act at a young age(5), Femina gently smacked her back.
