"Does that make everything clear?" I spoke as I looked at their faces, which were filled with the expression of disbelief, and I kind of smiled before looking at the villa where I brought the three of them.

Reeve was the first one to speak,"you are telling me that there is a place where the weakest monsters are around S-Grade level and we won't survive even for a second there?"

"Yeah. That is correct," I smiled as I nodded and then Linda spoke,"and you want us to go with you there?"

"Yeah. That is correct," I smiled as I nodded.

"You do know that this is a suicide mission, right?" Reeve spoke with a look that was trying to reason with me and I answered him with a smile and a nod as I spoke,"Yes. That is correct."

"I was kind of sad that I wasn't included with you two when he talked about going on an adventure, but… good luck, I guess. I would be leaving now," Irene spoke with a really relaxed smile as she stood up and proceeded to the kitchen.

"Would you guys like something?" I hear the voice of Emma coming from the kitchen as she comes out with a plate of freshly baked pancakes and places it on the table around which we were sitting.

Irene follows Emma and sits beside Linda again while Emma, too, sits with us.

Emma looks at me smiling and sighs before speaking,"at least tell them how you are going to survive there. I doubt you would be going without at least 10s of plans in your mind." Emma then proceeds to eat the pancakes, and so do Irene and I.

As for Reeve and Linda, I guess their appetite was as good as gone right now, so I should tell them about the other side of the plan.

"Well, there are few reasons I am planning to go there right now and not in the future," I spoke as I raised my three fingers and then touched my ring finger with my other hand,

​ "Reeve and another guy, Rheo, who would be going with us, have their special system that allows them to use dark energy and get stronger. In that place, it won't take even a week for you people to reach a higher level than others. The stronger you get, the more your chances to survive increases."

I then touched my middle finger, and as I stated the second point,

"Lucas and William will also be going with us. The dark creatures hate light, enough to even die at times from a mere speck of light. This should keep us alive there unless and until we end up meeting the Dark Royals of that place, or perhaps one of the Kings themselves."

Hearing the second point, both of them made a really relieved sound and I could only end up sighing on the inside as I knew that taking a light user would surely catch the attention of at least half of the Kings there if not all of them.

I then touched my ring finger before I spoke.

"I have a way to reduce their powers to make sure you guys could actually kill those monsters and earn something from there. No point in going there only to be unable to kill any of the enemies, isn't it?"

All three of them nodded before I saw Emma enjoying her food silently as she peeked at me before Irene asked,"what is that you get out of there? If you don't mind us interfering in your personal matters." I shook my head as I ate another pie piece and then, after gulping it down, I spoke,"not really personal. Just taking something that is mine, bringing a couple of people from there to here and making them join my army. Kill a couple of special monsters and… and… and… yeah! Making sure that we don't die there. That's all."

"Well… didn't expect anything less from you. Are you going to take 'those' from there?" Emma asked as she looked at me with a bit of a complicated expression and I nodded as I looked at her seriously.

"Be careful," she spoke again, and I nodded again.

Looking at our interaction, the trio looked at us… or more like at Emma, with a fixed gaze wondering who she was. They etched it in their mind to not go against Emma in any form or way and treat her with the same respect as if they were treating me.

Well, after I told Emma everything about what happened in my life, the first thing that she said was,

"I WILL F*CKING KILL THAT B*TCH LUCIA RIGHT NOW! RIGHT HERE! WHERE IS SHE??!!!! ZERO, TELL ME WHERE SHE IS??!!! HOW CAN YOU BE LIKE THIS?! ALL CALM AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED!!! ZERO??!!!"

It was hard to calm her, and even Clair woke up back then. Though, I charmed Clair back to sleep before talking with Emma for the whole night yesterday. I told her about my idea at which she started getting angry at me too, but then she calmed down a little and then we focused on other things that happened in my life.

It wasn't really a pleasant story and obviously, Emma cried a lot yesterday. I had to use Aura of Heal on her to heal her pained heart before telling more about my story(on her demand, of course).

After that she simply shook her head, hugged me tightly before speaking,"I know I can't do anything to help you. Perhaps you are strong enough to deal with everything on your own, but… You aren't alone, Zero. There are a lot more people around you that care about you, that you can save. Even if the whole world turns against you, I will be standing with you, I promise with all my heart, Zero. I will be there for you."

I smiled at her before patting on her forehead as I spoke,"I guess I will be depending upon you in the future if I ever feel lonely. Is that all right?" and she gave a comforting smile before nodding at me.
