The next morning I woke up while cuddling with Silva, Aquamarine, Yggdra, Bubu, Colora, and my daughter Amiphossia. I wanted to be hugged and cuddled by my adorable children, so I didn't went to visit Frank's tent that night. He had actually noticed how I felt and offered me his warmth, but I felt that if I took it, I might never be able to turn back our relationship from something… more serious.

"Gaaaahh… Meat…" Amiphossia groaned while snoring. "Borger… Grilled Meat… BBQ…"

She was drooling all over the pillow, and looked extremely cute, to be honest. Remembering when she was a big white egg back then made me nostalgic… I bet she misses Amiphossia too, ugh, I miss my big Lamia wife too!

"Yawn…" I sighed in relief, standing up. The sunlight coming from the sky shone brightly across the tent we were sleeping in.

I walked outside to stretch a bit, and watched as the children were already playing around the village. They were interacting a lot with Violet, the Miasmic Yggdrasil Tree Ego.

She had shaped her own roots into different forms so the kids could enjoy climbing them and playing around with them. She seemed to like seeing them happy.

"Ah, Kireina-sama!" Said Tahat-litu, as she walked to my side with a gentle smile. "Today a black bird came in and brought a letter! Though nobody us can read it…"

"A letter you say?" I wondered. "That's odd, maybe it is from Goldsand? But how did they knew of this place in specific?"

"We have interacted with Goldsand people before, some merchants know the route to our jungle. And also, the dwarves from the snowy region too." She explained.

"Dwarves…" I said. "Huh, alright, let me check that."

I took the letter and began reading it. I was able to easily decipher any language using my Level 10 Appraisal Skill, so it wasn't anything hard.

"This is…" I felt slightly surprised of its contents.

"What is it?" Wondered Tahat-litu.

"It is a letter written by people I only met once, and barely. They have come a long way. But why are they here, exactly?" I sighed. "Their names are Veronica and Ervas. It could be said they're like my distant siblings."

"S-Siblings?! You have siblings, Kireina-sama?!" Tahat-litu was shocked.

"Haha, more or less… For now, let's wake up everyone in my group, we need to talk about this when everyone's together… Because it involves not just our personal affairs, but the entire world." I said.

"A-Alright." Tahat-litu nodded. "I'll go wake up everyone else then."

Tahat-litu swiftly helped me wake everyone up, and once that was done, we gathered around her tent, the largest there was to discuss the letter, as I read it to them. It was quite short.

"Kireina, I know you've been stranded in this world for a while now. Your name has now gone far and wide across this world as well. I know you're seeking a way to g back home, and that defeating the Demon King of this world is the key. We've also arrived here to aid you, but there's a different motive too."

"This world is very important, and we cannot let it fall into the hands of the Usurpers of Destiny. You'll know more about them once we meet personally. For now, we've gathered within the Dwarven Country, the stronghold before the Demon Kingdom with the Rulers of the Elven Country and the Human Empire."

"The Nations will unify to fight the Demon King, as they fear that his tyranny and the monsters he's spreading across the world will only get worse. This might be the last battle in here, but certainly not the last for all of us. Come join us, and let's talk more. With Care, Ervas (And Veronica)."

As I read everything, everyone looked at what I read with surprise. Elfina and Fiere were specifically shocked that the Human Empire and her Elven Country had come to an alliance with the Dwarven Country, and were now asking for our assistance for an ultimate war against the forces of the Demon King.

"The Human Empire has allied my family? This is such a huge surprise…" Elfina said.

"It seems that now that the Emperor is gone, somebody else with a bit more of rationality has taken the throne." Fiere sighed in relief.

"An alliance between the three largest countries in the entire continent…" Brunhild said. "This is going to be huge!"

"Right? It seems we're not the only ones that'll fight that guy!" Ariant celebrated.

"Yeah!" Eriant nodded. "Though, will Goldsand and the Giants join?"

"No idea…" I sighed. "It doesn't say anything about them in this letter. Maybe they received a similar letter? It is up to them if they'll participate or not after all."

"Honestly, it would be better if they don't, so they don't risk their lives in such a huge battle…" Luminous sighed. "For now, we should quickly travel to the Dwarven Country, located within the Snow-covered Regions to the south, the cold border and "last stronghold" that is in front of the Wastelands of the Demon Kingdom."

"So that'll be our last stop, huh?" Sol sighed. "We don't have much time to waste either, let's go."

"Yeah, I have to agree with Sol." Frank nodded. "The faster we go, the better."

"Tahat-litu, thanks for everything." Elfina said. "Also, don't you dare come with us please! You're responsible for this village of yours, which has barely been able to gather up again."

"Indeed." I said. "You've helped us enough."

"Sigh…" Tahat-litu sighed, she was really planning on coming along. "I suppose you're right. I wish my kin could participate in such a battle, but we're short in warriors, and putting more lives at risk would be unwise."

"That's good thinking." I nodded. "Now, let's prepare everything to depart."

Once we were completely ready, we said our last goodbyes to the humble and hardworking people of the Jath-hu tribe. Our encounter was brief, but they have already become an important part of our memories.

"Thank you for everything, Kireina-sama! We wish you the best of fortunes!"
