"By the way, it would be great if you could give us those creatures of Darkness and Light," Sierra asked.

"Thanks to the information we received from the Princess and the in-depth study of these creatures, we already know how to breed them," she added, surprising everyone present.

"This will require a Diamond-rank creature, and for now, we can only focus on breeding symbiotic creatures of the Light and Dark elements," Sierra continued.

"The Light One can deal with the symbiotic creatures of Light, and I myself will take on the creatures of the element of Darkness," she suggested.

"So even if Yulaya and Hazel, one of them, get a symbiotic creature of the Earth element, they won't have the opportunity to breed

it?" Arabel asked.

"They're only Golden-ranked, so they won't succeed," Sierra shook her head.

"This requires a creature of at least rank 5," Lucinda added.

"Hmm... It's really interesting. We'll hand them over to you," Idan, who had overheard their conversation, chimed in. He looked at Lucinda and the others and asked: "Have you returned to the Temple?"

"Yes, we just got back recently," Lucinda nodded.

"Great," - Idan smiled. "You're not doing anything serious yet, are you?"

"No, I don't think so," she replied.

"Then after this small meeting, come with Milisa, Elira, and me to the Lava Lake to extract Fire Element Crystals before the next Reset," Idan suggested.

"Mining Fire Element Crystals?" - Lucinda, who had never done such a task before, raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, that's right," Idan nodded. "And you should know that they are worth a considerable amount of SP points."

"Oh, really?" The eyes of Lucinda and the others who were aware of the mysterious store shone with curiosity.

"Of course it's true," Idan confirmed.

"Well, we will help you if, of course, you appreciate our contribution and allow us to purchase something from this mysterious store," Lucinda said.

"That goes without saying," Idan replied.

After a short discussion, it was decided that Lucinda, Alia, and Eulalia would go to the Lava Lake with Idan, Melissa, and Elira.

Arabel sighed when she heard that Idan was going to spend the whole night mining fire crystals. Although she understood that this was extremely important to them, she couldn't help but be disappointed. "Why are you sighing, my beauty?" asked Idan, gently hugging Arabel. "Wasn't what you did to me last night enough, and you can't wait?"

Arabel blushed like a poppy and nodded honestly.

"Me too," Idan said, and using a mental kink, he added, "So wait, I'll find the time and be sure to come back."

Arabel nodded back with a smile on her face.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you," she said, also using a mental link.

All of Arabel's sisters, slightly envious but also happy for her, watched this scene with pleasure.

"Lucinda," Idan called out and asked, "How is your preparation for acquiring the 'Spirit Form' going?"

"I've been ready for a long time, just waiting for the right moment and a way to increase my chances of success," Lucinda replied.

"You know, Belle and I may be able to get the Light element crystals in the near future. Then you can try to do it here in the Kingdom, like Sierra has already done," Idan suggested.

"Oh, really? And how many crystals?" - Idan's words couldn't help but attract Lucinda's attention.

"About 50 diamond rank Light element crystals," Arabel replied, realizing that it was unlikely that the creatures of Light would agree to exchange for the 70 pieces offered to her, so she did not rule out the possibility of reducing to 50.

"50 diamond rank Light element crystals?" wondered Lucinda.

"Will that be enough, or will you need more?" asked Arabel.

"No, that's enough, that's enough," Lucinda confirmed.

"How can that not be enough? I'm only a diamond myself.", - Lucinda thought, still a little shocked by how Arabel and Idan had tried to help

her.

"Although, if you consider who Sierra has become, then everything falls into place.", - A thought flashed through her mind.

Was she against becoming the Guardian of this place, like Sierra? No, Lucinda didn't see anything wrong with that. On the contrary, she wanted to become a Guardian and not lose to Sierra.

"Then we will inform you as soon as we receive these crystals," Arabel assured.

"Thank you very much," Lucinda said sincerely. She looked at Sierra and smiled, to which Sierra responded with a smile and shook her

head, guessing the thoughts of this younger sister.

At that moment, Idan's voice rang in Sierra's head:

"Sierra, I have a small request."

"Okay, I'll do it," Sierra agreed after listening to Idan's request. She wondered why he was hiding his intentions from Arabel.

After finishing the conversation, Idan returned to his side of the kitchen, and Arabel continued her conversation with Sierra and the others, finding out what her sisters had been up to in recent days.

The Staff Hero had remained silent ever since she (he) entered the hall, only quietly watching Idan and Arabel. She (he) did not refuse the dishes offered by Arabel and was pleasantly surprised by their taste. Gradually, she (he) began to get used to her (his) new position, but she (he) was not going to give up her (his) past self and the fact that

she (he) was originally a guy, not a girl.

Lucinda watched her (his) mood from time to time.

Suddenly, a shout rang out at the door of the restaurant:

"Ahhh!"

Everyone turned around and saw a girl with long brown hair and multicolored eyes, who was looking at everyone resentfully.

"Why wasn't I invited?" asked Hailey, looking at Arabel and Idan with resentment.

"We were sure that you would smell everything yourself and come, as you did before," Arabel said. "Join us, there's enough food for

everyone."

Hailey immediately felt a surge of joy upon hearing these words. She walked over to an empty seat and sat down at the table.

"You got the task, didn't you?" Arabel asked Hailey, using a mental link.

"Yes, I got it," Hailey nodded and looked around.

"Isn't he here?" she asked.

"Who, Leo? Even if I invite him, with his personality, he's unlikely to

come," Arabel replied, and Hailey frowned.

"Hmm... I'll be right there," she said and ran out of the restaurant.

However, less than five seconds later, she returned.

A little embarrassed, Hailey approached Arabel and asked:

"Where does he actually live?"
