Six months passed since they started living their lives as adventurers. Akiara was cooking breakfast for everyone. Mizuki sneaked in from behind, wrapped her arms around her waist.

"Mornin' love." She kissed her ear.

"Morning. Clinging on me early in the morning hm?"

"You look so beautiful that I can't resist it."

"What if someone sees us like this?"

"They are asleep so you don't need to worry about it."

"Okay okay we will do this later. I need to set up the table."

"I'll help you as well."

She stepped back and started helping her set the table. Cordelia and Arrow arrived at the dining table.

"Mornin' big sis." He was half asleep.

"Morning. Here you go." She puts the plate of omurice.

"Thanks." He took spoon and started eating.

"Today what quest are we taking?" Cordelia asked as she sat down.

"We'll see in bulletin board." Akiara replied.

After having breakfast they left their house and headed to adventurers guild. All the female adventurers were surrounding around Arrow as usual.

"How are you Arrow?"

"Did you had breakfast?"

"How about joining our expedition today?"

Arrow smiled at them, "I'm sorry ladies I cannot join you. I'm already going with big sis." He walked towards Akiara. They were staring at bulletin board.

All the ladies were staring at them in envy. "That b*tch stole Arrow from us."

"Her height is not even same as his. How dare he call her big sis?"

Akiara could feel the aura of envy from them. She ignored them and continued looking at the bulletin board. They were exploring the forest searching for monsters. Suddenly thirty five leosmodians ambushed them. This time they looked quite different. Their physiques looked huge with horns longer than before.

"Something's not right." Akiara narrowed her eyes.

"What do you mean?" Cordelia asked.

"Their appearance.... looks quite different like.... they have evolved." Akiara replied.

"Evolved?" Mizuki asked.

"I can sense their energy is quite different from before. I can also feel strange monster energy from them. There's a possibility they will evolve again." Arrow replied.

"Let's finish this job quickly and report it to guild about this." Mizuki stated. She charged towards them.

They also charged towards them. As they were slaying, suddenly ten leosmodians appearance started to change. This time their arms and upper body changed to spikes and claws.

"What the?!" Leosmodian's shadow overgrown Arrow.

"It evolved again!" Cordelia shouted.

"Get away from him!" Akiara shouted.

Leosmodian scratched him giving him a deep cut on his chest. She jumped and stabbed the back part of its neck. She ran towards him and took out a healing potion. She opened it and poured its contents on his wounds. Mizuki slashed off its hands then its head.

"A little help here." Cordelia shouted. She casted water spell which shot large water droplets which destroyed its core. It collapsed.

Suddenly weather started to change. Clouds darkened like it will rain at any moment, wind was blowing violently, thunder hitting ground burning trees and grasses and trees rustling violently. Akiara picked Arrow up, wrapping his arm around her neck and they started running to exit the forest. Even leosmodians were chasing them. Suddenly it started to rain heavily making it impossible for them to leave. But they still didn't give up hope.

"What is up with today's weather?!" Akiara shouted.

"Don't know!" Cordelia replied.

Suddenly they noticed a wormhole that appeared in the sky. Black clouds were getting absorbed by it. They looked up seeing thousands of monsters pouring out.

"Second wave of arrival asmodians." Mizuki spoke making them to look at her.

"What?" Akaira asked looking all confused.

"We should exit the forest or else we will be in danger." Arrow replied.

As they were running towards the exit, Akiara questioned herself, "Strange. I have the knowledge of this world except for asmodians. Why? Is it because Goddess want me to find these answers by myself?"

They exited the forest. They noticed other adventurers and soldiers struggling fighting against the monsters. These monsters looked quite stronger than other monsters. Akiara rushed to help them but Mizuki grabbed her hand preventing her to go.

"These monsters are on B to A-level or even S-level. It will be difficult to kill them." Mizuki stated.

"But if we don't help them there will be casualties." Akiara shoved back her hand and ran off to help the adventurers.

"Aki wait!" Mizuki shouted. Even Arrow followed her.

"What are you gonna do now?" Cordelia asked.

"Damn it." Mizuki ran following them.

"Hey wait for me." Cordelia shouted running behind them.

As monsters continued pouring down, Six dark warriors and mages appeared from the wormhole. They were flying in the air looking down at the scenery of the empire. Their eyes were gleaming red and their elegant visage and appearance were devilishly handsome.

"How long has it been we were trapped by hero Arnon?" young man with dark blue hair holding giant sword on his shoulder asked.

"5000 years." another young man wearing spectacles replied. His hair was dark brown and holding a grimoire in his hand.

"Why don't we meet again after conquering lands to see how much we have achieved." Another spoke. His hair was crimson color, and skin was tanned with scar on his face.

"We are wasting time. We must prepare for the dark lord's arrival." young man with long albino hair said coldly.

"Geez Dalziel you are cold as always." young man with dark hair replied. His clothes revealed his bare chest and was holding a double-edged sword on his hand as a priceless possession.

"Well.... what can I say. His attitude is the worst among us. Leave him be." another young man replied. His hair was blonde, wearing mage's outfit and holding magic staff on his hand.

"Whatever. Then we will meet after conquering lands." Dalziel replied, flying away.

They waved their hands flying off to other directions.

As the young man with black hair flying off to north-western side, he noticed Akiara.

"I thought only I was the only one with dark hair." He smirked, "Interesting. Why don't we have a little chat."

He flew down to take a good look at her. People noticed his presence. Mizuki didn't looked happy, charged towards him. They both were clashing with swords. She couldn't keep up with his heavy blows, she got blown away. Akiara saved her by catching on to her.

"You were right. There are people who are stronger than you." Mizuki half jokingly said.

"....." Akiara stood up and took a good look at him. "Who are you? Your aura is quite different."

He smiled and bowed, "I am Kuro. One of the six dark emperors who works under Dark lord, Claudiaus."

He suddenly appeared in front of her. She unsheathed her sword immediately and evaded his attack. She jumped back and stood in fighting stance.

He again appeared behind her. He wrapped his arm around her neck like he will choke her, "You have good reflex. I like it. It seems like you a bit weak."

She hit him on his chest with her elbow making him to release his grip. She grabbed his hand and slammed him on the ground. she glared at him coldly.

"Ouch. That hurts sweetie." He smirked as he stood up.

"Don't call me that. It grosses me out." She replied coldly.

"I apologize for calling you that." He charged towards her. She dodged it but grazed her cheek causing it to turn a gash. She deflected his sword and started clashing with swords with him.

"You are pretty good for a rookie." He complimented.

"Thanks."

They clashed for a while until he noticed his sword started to react in a weird way. As they clashed she jumped to give a blow.

"Magic infusion. Flame magic." Her sword lighted up as the flames engulfed her sword. But he evaded it and her sword snapped into three to four pieces.

"I enjoyed sparring with you. But you are still weak. Come back again to fight against me." He kicked her throwing her faraway.

"I hope we meet again." with that he vanished leaving behind the traces of black feathers.

Mizuki and Arrow ran towards her. They saw a huge hole on the wall. They ran inside the empire to check on Akiara. Blood was coming out back of her head and coughing up blood because of the impact on her chest.

"Aki! Are you alright?" Mizuki asked.

"Y-y-yeah barely."

Arrow picked her up in his arms. They saw monsters running towards the forest. Even imperial soldiers and adventurers were heading back. Medical team came to take away injured ones. Cordelia cane running towards them.

She was panting, "I thought you guys left me." she noticed Akiara's state, "Oh my gosh, what happened to you?"

"It's nothing I'm fine..... somehow." Akiara replied.

"What do you mean it's nothing! We must get you treated immediately!"

They headed to nearest hospital to get her treated. After she got treated, they came to visit her.

Arrow was crying saying, "If only I came sooner, I would have protected you big sis."

She gently patted his head, "There there. It's not your fault."

She noticed Mizuki was fidgeting her hands. She smirked realizing she wants to ask something. At night Mizuki sneaked into her room.

"I knew you would sneak in." Akiara stated.

It startled her. She scratched her back part of her neck, "H-hi."

"So what's the reason so you came here?"

She sat beside her. She moved her face closely to hers, staring at her ocean eyes.

"Do you hate me for calling you sweetie?" Mizuki asked.

Her eyes grew wide hearing it. She was holding back laughter, "So that's the reason to came to see me?" she leaned her back, "Sigh, I should have known." she tried to act like her.

"N-no it's nothing like that I swear!" She looked flustered.

"So what if I hate it. I don't mind it if you call me that."

She smiled looking relieved. She rested her head on her chest.

"You wanna sleep with me today?"

"Yes." She closed her eyes as she could hear her heartbeat sounding lullaby to her. She also closed her eyes as both drifted off to sleep.

Imperial meeting hall

Imperial Palace, Kemburg Empire

Aidan del Edevane, young King receiving news regarding today's event. All the nobles were assembled to ask their opinion to initiate next step. Just then high priest along with another country's priest entered.

They kneeled down, "Your Majesty, we have received a new Oracle from the Goddess."

"State it." Aidan replied.

Priest from the another country handed the letter to his aide so that he can pass it to the King.

"This is how it stated after we deciphered. She says, 'Thousands of heroes will be summoned but only one person will be standing amongst them. That person will save the world from asmodians.' "

"I see." He opened the letter and read its contents. "Alright then we will also join the other nations for summoning of heroes from another world." with that he gave his royal stamp on the paper and handed back to his aide.

He stood up from his seat, "Let the preparation for summoning of heroes from another world begin."
