I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

"Ahhh… Anna remembered. Angus, Big sis, Where is Mira?" said Anna innocently.

"Mira? Isn't she still inside the dungeon?" replied Angus uncertainty.

"Ehhh… Why didn't Angus bring Mira? Stupid Angus!! Anna needs to go back. Anna doesn't want to leave Mira." said Anna in a hurry.

"Anna, we can't go back there." Jayna calmly told Anna.

"But, Mira is left behind. Friends never leave each other." said Anna in a sad tone.

"Can't you communicate with her or something? Maybe she has already left the dungeon before us." said Angus.

"Ahhh.. Smart Angus. Why didn't Angus say that before? Silly Angus makes Anna worried." said Anna before fiddling with her watch.

Anna gets this unique watch during her little adventure with Mira while exploring the Ancient Vault. For Angus, the watch is relatively futuristic and similar to an innovative digital watch from his previous life.

Strangely, he couldn't get any reading through [Analyze] despite having some knowledge about smart digital watches. After touching for a while, the watch started to release a beeping sound.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* Meanwhile, Mira slowly wakes up after feeling the vibration on her wristwatch.

"Umm…" Mira wakes up slowly while looking at her watch confusedly.

"Master, I believe it is a call or something from Lady Anna." said Darren from the side.

Currently, Darren and Mira are still inside the dungeon, surrounded by strong barriers. However, if Nabe knows their current location, she will go crazy. Despite the cave being like the others, there is a small black crystal hovering in the middle of the room.

If people look closer at the surrounding area, the place is littered with countless monsters' corpses. Each of them has a dried appearance without a single blood in them. After yawning and rubbing her eyes, Mira pressed the watch.

"Hello.. Hello… Is this Mira?" Mira heard a little girl's voice from the watch.

"Mmm." replied Mira.

"Ahhh… Mira!! Where did Mira go? Anna misses Mira. Did Mira still stay inside that annoying cave?" asked Anna in a hurry.

"Five minutes. There." replied Mira.

"Alright, Anna will be waiting. Don't be late." replied Anna before hanging up the call.

After hanging up the call, Mira stretched while yawning before rolling around her flying pillow.

"Darren." called Mira lazily.

"Certainly. Which one do you want to wear?" asked Darren while holding two same black dresses in both his hands.

Mira didn't reply and looked between the two same dresses. She struggles to point out one of them before thinking very hard. She keeps doing this act for a few minutes while Darren stays silent.

After a few minutes, she snaps her finger as the two clothes get burned. At the same time, she is already wearing a new, different black dress and looks very neat. Then, she disappeared from her spot. On the other hand, Anna is counting while looking at her watch.

"5.. 4… 3.. 2… 1… Five minutes." exclaimed Anna.

Suddenly, Mira appeared on top of a flying pillow in front of Anna.

"Mira!! Anna misses Mira!!" called Anna while jumping and hugging her friend tightly.

"Mmm." replied Mira like usual.

Then, the two little girls start talking about their own language. One is just replied with a silent nod and occasionally speaks a word or two. While the others are talking fast with many strange terms such as boom or kaboom.

"It seems Master Mira is fine. I think even if the whole dungeon is destroyed she will survive." said Angus.

"I wonder if Master Darren is also fine?" Chimed the Duchess.

"I am sure he will be fine." replied Angus.

After a couple of hours of rest, Angus and the Duchess noticed a person suddenly appeared beside Mira.

"I apologize for my lateness, My Lady." said Darren.

Mira didn't reply, only giving the usual silent nod.

"Master Darren, glad to see you." called Duchess Amberblaze.

"It's good to see you all. I am glad all of you made it out of that dungeon alive." said Master Darren.

Technically, some human employees and knights are dead inside the dungeon. However, Angus and the others didn't feel like correcting the Vampire Ancestor. Interacting with Alder and Nabe inside the dungeon makes them question the sanity of seventh-grade people.

Most old ones like to do anything on a whim, even if it costs their life. It is like they will die if they take a step back after deciding to do something.

After chatting for a while, Angus and the others continue their journey using a fast carriage that Darren stumbles on his way.

The carriage is slower than when Angus and the others ride during the trip to Redmore capital city. However, it saves their stamina, especially for those without combat ability.

After another day of traveling, they finally reach the portal entrance and come out from Nirvas. Arriving at the familiar town surrounded by thick mist, Angus notices a few Altras guards observing them carefully from a distance.

'It seems they are preventing other Altras from leaving the Nirvas.' thought Angus.

Angus noticed the Altras guard ignore them after finding none of them was Altras trying to go outside illegally.

With Altras' shapeshift ability, it is easy for them to impersonate someone and join the traveler from the outside. Still, Altras have their own way of detecting their own kind by using detection runes and magical tools.

Entering Craghost town, they take a short rest in the hotel. There is a minor commotion when the young nobles find Eric chained down while forced to sleep.

However, none dared to say anything as the Duchess sent a menacing glare. With a single look, every young noble trembled in fear. They still remember the last education that they received from the Crimson Flash.

In the end, the spineless young nobles could only swallow their words and pretend to not see the miserable Crown Prince.

While everyone is packing their stuff, "Ilgor, how is it going?" asked Angus.

"Those cowards have stayed silent during Master's absence." replied Ilgor respectfully.

"Good. How about the other forces? I doubt all the forces are moving with the last huge commotion." said Angus.

"About that. Over the past two weeks, too many people have been coming to Craghost Town. Most of them are either merchants or adventurers. I don't know if there are spies among them. There are also some religious groups and nearby kingdom's group." replied Ilgor.

"Hmm… I hope we can return without a problem." said Angus.

Angus and Ilgor continue to chat for a while before joining everyone. Since everyone is hardly tired during the journey, they enter the misty forest directly.

'Everything looks fine except for Anna.' thought Angus after scanning the whole town for possible trouble.

He looked at the little girl who sat on the top flying pillow beside Mira. Angus worried the little troublemaker didn't want to get separated from Mira like her previous reaction. However, it is also impossible to follow Mira or force her to come to the Heart Kingdom.

Previously, Darren told him that Mira still had a lot of unfinished business back in their kingdom. Therefore, they need to separate their own way after this journey. This makes Angus feel a headache about this problem and pacifies Anna.

'She probably will cry in a mess and be sad for a long time. Let's hope she didn't do anything reckless.' thought Angus while everyone entered Misty Twilbo Forest.

After walking for a few minutes, everyone notices something in the surroundings and immediately raises their weapon.

"Ambush!!" Angus notified everyone.

The knights and royal guards immediately got into a defensive formation. At the same time, few people charge Duchess and Darren. Darren notices these people are in the sixth grade and wearing shiny white armor.

"Tch… Religious Group!!" said Darren as he got attacked by four sixth-grade people.

On the other hand, the Duchess gets attacked by two sixth grade while Angus and the others fight with the rest of the holy knights.

"Such a force!! Who are you?!!" asked the Duchess.

However, the two holy knights didn't reply and attacked the Duchess with the help of a group of magicians from a distance. If it is only two holy knights, the Duchess could easily take care of them. But, it is different if the two holy knights get support and enhancement from the magician.

This Duchess couldn't kill them in a short time like usual. On the other hand, the situation for Angus and the others is better. *Arghh* *Arghh* Screams and cries could be heard from the surroundings as Jayna and Ilgor butcher the holy knights with the help of Angus.

"This emblem?! They are from Blirin, Karum, and Zion." said Angus as he recognized the emblem on their armor.

Only Mira and Anna were still on top of the flying pillow and weren't bothered by the ambush.

"Go!! Go!! Angus!! Yay!! Ya!! Big sis!!" Anna cheered excitedly, looking at the fallen holy knights.

Suddenly, six people came from the ground and surrounded Mira and Anna. Each person held a rune crystal [Formation Magic - Purity World]. In a moment, a large formation covered the two girls.

"Anna!!" called Angus and Jayna in worry.
