Charlotte here! Feels like I miss majority of things happening for the past 12 days or so

"Why didn't you tell me about the festival!" [Charlotte]

"Wow Really... Really Charlotte?" [Mara]

"Unbelievable... Simply unbelievable..." [Elise]

""Our blood boils hearing that"" [Lara, Nara]

"Well, you are rather preoccupied with you work all the times" [Zerolith]

"Still, surely you remember the magical fireworks that you and Farhah did?" [Kara]

"Did that really happen?" [Charlotte]

Is it, or is it not? I can't really remember. It may happen or it may not happen. All I remember was I my day inside the laboratory at R&D department of the Higher Education, working on my Sea Serpent Project. All I remember these past few days is nothing but my Sea Serpent Project...

"Really..." [Kara]

"That's rather sad to hear" [Farhah]

"Just why?! I miss a lot of thing! The Food! The sweet! The mood! The sweet! The sweet. Especially the sweet!!!" [Charlotte]

"To be fair, we did forced and dragged you out so that you could enjoy the festival" [Zerolith]

"You could always try harder..." [Charlotte]

"Oh that's it! Come here you little brat! Let me spank that ungrateful attitude of yours!" [Farhah]

"WAIT! NO! Don't spank me! I'm not a kid anymore! And stop pinching me! It's hurt!" [Charlotte]

"Farhah snap..." [Savel]

"Not only her though..." [Singa]

And Mara join in the bullying session that took place. They keep pinching my cheeks with all their might

"Elise! Help!" [Charlotte]

"..." [Elise]

But all she does is giving me a cold stare. If anything, I feels like she will definitely join them should I ask her help one more time, which is why

"Kara..." [Charlotte]

(Sorry, but you deserve it) [Kara]

Not you too! Somebody! Anybody!

"We are back" [Karon]

"My my..." [Muse]

"What just happened?" [Rean]

"Rean! Karon! Help me! They're bullying me!" [Charlotte]

And I take this opportunity to escape from Mara and Farhah deadly pinch and hide behind the three of them for protection, all the while Elise explaining what happen. Still, Karon's hand is rather oily, could it be... Did the craft for the wedding already finish? Maybe that's why he's with Rean and Muse. I can't wait to see the final result!

"I see. You kinda reap what you sow" [Karon]

"Meany!" [Charlotte]

"Still, if you want to enjoy the festival, why don't we all go together?" [Rean]

"Really! We can!?" [Charlotte]

"Charlotte wait! Think of Muse and..." [Elise]

"No, it's fine Elise. Actually, why don't all of you go together and spend your final day together" [Muse]

"Since Muse herself is fine, I don't see why not" [Zerolith]

"Not that I think of it, us twelve didn't really enjoy the festival together" [Savel]

"Alright then, let us head to the nearest stall first!" [Singa]

"Let's go go go!" [Farhah]

"Do you want to come as well Behe?" [Elise]

"Meow" [Behe]

"Guess it's a no then" [Elise]

"Take care of the mansion, Housey, Calypso Tree" [Kara]

""Underst..d"" [Housey, Calypso Tree]

And thus, all twelve of us spend our days together, trying to enjoy the festival. The first thing that they brought up as topic to talk is

"So, how was your Sea Serpent Project?" [Rean]

"Surely, with the way you work, everything will be more of less settle?" [Zerolith]

"Well..." [Charlotte]

I actually told Grandpa Claude and the other yesterday, but I don't mind repeating it once more for them.

Currently, there are few problems. First being the amount of mana needed to Kick-start the whole thing. It's ENORMOUS, PHENOMENAL, ASTRONOMICAL and everything with the same synonyms as those three words are. Of course, it can be compensated with magic tools, and with hoe we are in possession of Goddess Treasure Chest, it isn't much of an issue. The issue being, that's the problem with my version of Sea Serpent Project, which is being carried forward into the Queen Rinz version of the project. Since we are using her Fortress Defense Magic as a framework, we are all worried about the recent event happened at Kiserre, and in order to prevent that from happening again, we developed a rather complex spell, so complex in fact, we ourselves don't understand the entirety of it. Some part of it work, while other not. We even let Housey and Calypso Tree analyze it, but they still unable to code every single thing, which is a worrying thing. Not to mention, the complexity of the spell, couple with the enormous mana needed combine, meaning, you need all seven elements of mana in high amount with neutral mana, being supply precisely without a room for error. Lara and Nara already test run it, but even then, they needed someone as capable as them, which could only mean...

"I see. That's rather hard" [Kara]

""We tried our best, but in the end..."" [Lara, Nara]

"I feel like I don't understand half of it" [Mara]

"Honestly, I feel the same" [Zerolith]

"But still, if you ask me, why don't you just go with it? You already have it almost entirely figured out after all" [Farhah]

"I don't think it's that easy" [Singa]

"It it was, I'm sure they will already done that" [Savel]

"True, it isn't that easy. With how my father managed to sneak in and out of Kiserre undetected, we simply don't want to take any chances" [Karon]

"Plus, even if we did go ahead and set the whole thing up while waiting for the optimal solution, we still need to turn it off before installing the new solutions, which will cause an entirely different kind of problems. There's also a chance for the communication stones to blown up if we hastily done that" [Charlotte]

"So much thing can happen..." [Elise]

"..." [Rean]

Rean is awfully quiet as we discussed this issue

"Something happen Rean?" [Elise]

"You're awfully quiet" [Charlotte]

"Oh, it's nothing" [Rean]

"Are you thinking of Muse?" [Savel]

"No. That's not it" [Rean]

"Huh? Why not?" [Charlotte]

"Yeah Rean, why not?" [Singa]

"That's not... Anyway, I was just thinking, the problem Charlotte encounter, maybe Brother Ash can solve it if he is here with us" [Rean]

That... He might

"Plus, the whole reason as to why we are here, celebrating this festival today, and my wedding tomorrow, is all because of him sacrificing himself six years ago" [Rean]

"True. But we could just save him, can't we!" [Charlotte]

"Agree! We are strong enough to do that now!" [Savel]

"We are no longer the helpless children we were once" [Singa]

"As an Avery, I will make sure to bring him back safely!" [Farhah]

"We just need to believe in ourselves, though je sure have a lot of things to catch-up once we rescue him" [Karon]

"That will be up to us to help him" [Zerolith]

"True, or Lara and I can just..." [Lara]

"Use information transfer spell forcefully. That will be easier" [Nara]

"Dony do that, though I'm sure Brother Ash can handle it just fine" [Kara]

"Which side are you again?" [Mara]

"See that Rean, we just need to save him! Let's have faith in ourselves" [Elise]

"You're right. We will definitely save him" [Rean]

And we continue to enjoy the festival, where

"Treat us! Treat us!" [Charlotte]

"Fine..." [Rean]

"Hooray!" [Farhah]

"I'll order the most expensive set of item!" [Mara]

"Hey hold up!" [Rean]

Poor Rean, maybe I should cover some of the bill for him

"And give me this one!" [Nara]

"Add this one as well!" [Lara]

"Nara, Lara! Not you two as well!" [Rean]

Or maybe not
