The Last Incarnation Of The Land Of Arden
ARTHUR'S FIRST MISSION

"Congratulations, you've all gone through a period of training. Tonight, you'll get a joint mission. Each team will contain three people. Because there are twelve people here so there will be four teams that will get different and random tasks" Marsyal said.

"Your task is in this box and the four tasks here, have a D class that is suitable for beginners like you. Your job is to investigate and nothing more. You, it is forbidden to attack without permission from both of us. Each team will get two smoke beacons of different colors. The first flare is yellow which means you find something quite dangerous and the red flare means that you are being attacked and have difficulty finding a way out. We'll come when you release the beacon in case of emergency" Razel explained the rules of their first mission.

"Is there anyone who doesn't understand?" Marshal asked them.

They look at each other and guess what will happen.

Arthur raised his right hand.

"Yes, what's the matter with Prince Aosora?"

Arthur lowered his hand.

"Would a D-level mission not make us die?"

Marsyal widened his eyes.

"PFF! FRUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Nine children laughed as they listened to Arthur's question.

"Basic freak! A D-level mission, it won't kill the person who carries out its mission!" Follow one of them.

Tsuha looked at the training teen who was laughing at Arthur.

"That could have happened, what if there was a condition that made a D-level mission turn into a B or A level. It often happens because of the informant's mistake when conveying what happened. Indeed, what's so funny about the question?"

Those who laughed instantly fell silent after hearing Tsuha's words.

"Well, we gave this smoke flare. As a sign that you are in danger. We'll be here soon when we see that beacon" Marsyal replied.

Nao is worried about a lot of things that might happen.

He clamped his bangs with a hairpin.

"Captain, is this mission suitable for us?" Ask Nao.

"of course. You don't have to worry because, everything I have prepared carefully" Marsyal replied as he took the box containing their duties from Razel.

Razel nodded at him because, He is also in charge of this.

"Alright, now you're looking for a team of three. Then, each team must have a team leader to take on your random assignment" Marsyal continued.

"Nao, we're on a team" Tsuha said

"I...?" Arthur pointed to himself.

"All right, I want to be its chairman. You don't mind Tsuha?" Nao asked while looking at Tsuha who nodded.

"Eh! I how?" Arthur blocked both of them.

"Basic fool. You've been teaming up with them. What are you.... Ugggh...I've been quiet enough for today!" Firm Archie.

Archie has rejected Mizel's invitation to remove Arthur's horn and he will return to Akaiakuma when the time has come.

Arthur's face immediately turned into a sumringah.

"really?! Ah, Thank you!" Said Arthur.

Tsuha, who knows nothing, avoids Arthur because she believes that Arthur will talk a lot after getting this first mission.

"I'm so impatient!"

Nao walks toward Marsyal to take a random D-class mission.

He held one piece of paper in the box and took one of the four after holding it.

Later, he filled out the list of membership of this joint mission and took a bag containing P3K as well as flares and food.

Nao did not open the paper directly. Instead, he went back first and gave it to Arthur.

"Usually, Nao isn't like that" Thought Tsuha.

Arthur accepted it with a wondering expression.

"Blackcloth. Our first mission must be a special one" Nao said grimacingly at Arthur.

"really. Our first mission must be different. And, do not let Nao who has shown off his idol that is the size of Shinrin palace field so in vain" Sahut Tsuha.

"Eh! What nj*r! Where there is cake! My hair is just a little bit disturbing my eyes" Nao said.

"Oh, I think, the color of your corneas has been different all this time" Arthur interrupted them.

"BFFT! You think I'm an Archangel?" Nao smiled next door.

Tsuha simply nodded and took the paper out of Arthur's hand.

"Let me read it. You've been a long time! I'm curious about this mission"

Tsuha opened the folded paper.

"Mission: Ensuring the existence of a Five-headed Cerberus in the Magic Forest that is rumored to roam the forest and is estimated to have a height of three meters"

"Huh? Cerberus? Five-headed? Three meters high?" Ask Arthur.

"Honestly, I don't want any missions related to Magic Beasts in the magic forest. Can we change this mission?" Tsuha asked after reading the mission paper.

"Arthur, don't you want this mission?" Ask Nao.

Arthur scratched his nape.

"Cerberus is a mythological creature whose existence is still gray. Plus Cerberus was Five-headed. I think, it's dangerous if there is a presence in the magic forest. Then, what if the cerberus does exist and attacks us? We'd rather just exchange missions than endanger ourselves" Arthur explained.

"Think carefully. The Cerberus is a magical beast that can open the underworld that limits us to the world of the magic wolves. And, Cerberus too, is a symbol of the past, the present, and the future" Nao said.

"God.... That's if Cerberus heads three. Just a shadow, his head is Lima. What did try?" Ask Tsuha.

"God! We're just making sure. From which aura around it will be felt if there is a strong magic presence. Anyway, there's Arthur who can cast his magic in the woods"

Tsuha immediately looked at the earth after listening to Nao's words just now.

"Do you know where Nao came from?" Tsuha returns to see Nao

"Tsuki told me"

"How can you?!" Ask Arthur Tsuha.

"Yes, don't know" replied Arthur.

In the end, they accepted the mission and immediately set off a magic forest.

On the way Nao and Arthur had a lot of conversation in front of Tsuha.

Tsuha was in charge of carrying the nearly 2kg bag and walking behind them while listening to their conversation about the history of the Aosora family curse.

Smart people talk differently.

"Yes, I'm quite grateful that I'm not the heir to the Kingdom of Aosora. Even so, I have my left chest mark which is very different from Kak Ram's Curse"

"Since when have you had it?"

"Said my mother, this has been around since I was born. And when I was a baby, I almost died from so many diseases that attacked me"

"One of them?"

Actually, Tsuha really wanted to hang out in their chat. But he just listened.

"My father once said that I was a baby once, never absorbed the people around me until I was biweekly. And he said, That's what makes me sick" replied Arthur.

Their chatter is getting interesting in Tsuha's ears.

"Then, how now?"

"meaning?"

"I mean, are you still able to absorb what belongs to someone else right now?" Obviously Nao's question.

"of course.... I can't" replied Arthur.

Nao raised both his hands to his knees and folded them behind his nape.

"When, if developed again it can be High-level magic and possibly forbidden magic. That's good enough to be your ultimate magic"

"Arthur, isn't your magic nearly the same as that described by the Investigator Captain?" Ask Archie.

"Yes, I think Captain Marsyal does know about me. After all, the Captain of the army who did not know that had made Uncle Linus and King Meganstria try to find a sorcerer to seal the dangerous magic" Arthur replied to Archie.

Tsuha becomes increasingly aware of the reason King and Queen Aosora forbade Arthur from leaving the Palace after hearing the chat.

"There is no harm in His Majesty and Queen Aosora doing this. It was all to protect his son. But, how, so that He can stop the magic?" Inner Tsuha while looking at Arthur who returned to chat with Nao.
