Chapter 11: The First Quest.

Queen of Nightmares: "I wonder when will the first quest come?"

Kazuma: "Shit, she jinxed it."

Queen of Nightmares: "Don't be an idiot, there is no such thing as a jinx."

[Notice: First Quest Issued.]

Koro Sensei: "You just had to do that, sigh... don't underestimate forces that are beyond our understanding."

Kazuma: "@Koro Sensei, why did you type the part where you sighed?"

Koro Sensei: "Just a bit of dramatic things to liven up your spirits, come on, it's just the Quest, not the end of the world, it's going to be easy as a breeze."

Koro Sensei: "Shit, I just did it, didn't I?"

Kazuma: "Yes, you successfully raised a damn flag. Now shut up and don't make it any worse than it already is."

Aster: "Don't worry, if push comes to the shove I will deal with it myself."

Amelia: "Well what is the Quest?"

Queen of Darkness: "Guys, just tap the notification."

Kazuma: "Don't tell me that Madara is a chick, that guy was the most badass man to ever live and now he became a woman! This... this... this is awesome, if I can manage to make her my girlfriend, won't I be the GOAT?"

Aster: "Well, from what little knowledge I have of him/her? I can say that you better be stronger than her if you wish to pursue her. And what is a GOAT?"

Kazuma: "I have no worries, I will let Aster act behind the scenes to make me look super strong and cool to make her fall for my manly charms. And @Aster, GOAT is the abbreviation for Greatest of All Time."

Koro Sensei: "Someone, bring a stretcher along, and @Queen of Nightmares be prepared to give emergency medical help. I will bring his body as fast as I can."

Queen of Nightmares: "Bakazuma has the guts to try and hit on the most dangerous shinobi of all time, I am confused if I should praise his bravery or mock his idiocy. Don't worry as long as you are alive I can fix you with my Sacred Gear."

Amelia: "Does anyone have the story from Naruto world?"

Koro Sensei: "It's huge, we can just review the Fourth Ninja War and prepare for the Quest."

Aster: "There is one thing that you all are forgetting, we can in no manner change the plot, we can affect the means but in no way the results. If we did that even unknowingly, I don't think the Quest will succeed. So we have to plan this very carefully."

Amelia: "@Aster is right on this, someone, send the files, and please try to make it short."

[Queen of Nightmares sent a Manga.]

Queen of Nightmares: "I guess that should do for now and we have 4 hours to prepare ourselves."

"Aster, please fill me in on the rest of the details after I finish reading the story Ruri sent," Amelia said as she started reading the Naruto manga on her phone.

Aster read through the wikis and gathered all that he needed to make sure the Quest goes smoothly, without any issues. A junior officer came in with their meals and was then made to carry all the files to the next room that Kingsley was preparing for the sorters and committee members.

The Chub was released and given a lunch meal, that had two egg and bacon sandwiches, a salad, with some mixed fruits along with a cup of water and a slice of pie. The chub was seriously depressed at the sight of the lunchbox.

'Damn this monster and that Bones, how dare they give me a 'Lord' to eat such filth made for the commoners and that even on the floor.' Chub grumbled but did not dare voice his opinion seeing that the other two in the room were eating the same and the damned Monster had ice cream for dessert in this biting cold.

Amelia cast a privacy charm around the chub to ensure he does not hear any of their conversations and let him do his own thing since his feet were still bound by Aster's ice chains.

"Amelia, we need to postpone our plans for watching the Harry Potter series tonight for after we have finished dealing with this Quest," Aster said, taking a spoon of the ice cream.

After an uneventful few hours that the two spent reading through the manga and wiki respectively, it was nearing the closing hours of DMLE when Kingsley returned with a dead tired but proud look on his face.

Aster simply nodded looking at the man and asked him to show the results of his work, which the man presented with pride. It was a very well-planned setup and everything was very systematically placed and the files are already here between the Sorting Officers' tables placed in a triangle formation.

Amelia checked the wards and found them all satisfactory to her requirements, while only the fidelius was left to be placed, but since the man was already tired, it was nigh impossible to cast such an intricate charm perfectly.

Amelia did it herself and made herself the Secret Keeper and revealed it to Aster and Kingsley, who had forgotten why they were here or what this room was for, showing the charm was perfectly placed.

They returned to Amelia's office and saw Rufus looking at the chub like he was Santa who came a few days early.

"Boss, the raid was very successful and we managed to recover every knut he owed us along with a few items that he should not own, all bagged and tagged securely." The man spoke with pride and his face literally spelled 'PRAISE ME!'.

"Well done Rufus, with this in hand, the case is much stronger, take Kingsley with you and get some well-deserved rest and take Mr. Corner to a detainment cell while you leave,"Amelia ordered seeing that it was time for the office to close and it was the first time in so many years that she did not have to stay here overtime to deal with her charges."

"Yes, mam." They saluted as they left with chub in tow with them.

"I am heading off to the castle, message me if you need something," Aster said as he whistled.

Crystal appeared out of a snowflake and landed on Aster's shoulder and vanished with him, leaving a snowflake behind.

"He might as well be the Ice version of Dumbledore now, but he really is efficient in handling the administration. Even Rufus and Kingsley look like first-year boys before him, fufu~" Amelia chuckled as she thought about her day that could not have been any wilder.

.......................................

In the leaky Cauldron,

Two men sat at a table as they downed a glass of Fire Whiskey and sighed.

"Aster is a demon I tell you, he gets me a feeling that I should never meet another spirit. Not even a single full day and he made us run around like rooks, and even managed to make me do a raid on a lord from a noble family." Rufus said as he picked up the bottle to fill himself another glass.

"Trust me mate, we really pulled the short stick with him, I checked every book on spirits that I had, and nowhere was it written that they are such tyrannical and slave-driving existence. They were described as ancient beings with power over elements they are manifested from." Kingsley grumbled as he gave his glass to Rufus to fill him with another.

"I guess this one is a bit special, he said he was the Winter Spirit, not just an ice spirit, nor 'the' spirit of Ice, he is the Spirit of Winter and from that analogy, it makes him different from the other spirits who are borne of their elements. He should be documented especially." Rufus said with his third glass.

"Should we write a book, so that may help our successors deal with beings like him?" Kingsley said in a moment of clarity.

"Yes, we will name it Winter Spirits and their Ways. We will be immortalized in history for this Kingsley, you and I are going down in the golden pages of Wizarding History." Rufus said with his hand over his friend's shoulder.

It was then that two drunk men would write a book that will still be read even when the Winter Spirit is no more... But that's a story of another time.
