We have just left the meeting in the magical water palace. I can't help but marvel once more at the simple sensation of walking on water. I can hear the pink-haired girl next to me giggle softly. I can't help but smile myself.
"Haha, having fun with the water?"
[Honestly, yes. It's always been a dream of mine to walk on water. I didn't think it would ever come true in such a way.]
"Look at you both flirting already! *Sigh* Good thing I followed along, or you guys would already be naked once more!" (Empress)
"Hey what is that supposed to mean!"
"Haha, just that I'm happy that you are smiling and coming out of your shell for once. It was time you left that pink atrocity of yours!" (Empress)
"That…"
"Alright, I'll be going! Have fun you two. Remember, nothing nasty in the streets. Don't become like that other naked guy!" (Empress)
"There is no way that…!"
Careful not to lose sight of your goals in life. Well, erring is perfectly fine but don't become consumed in a quest for something that may not even bring you joy. We as humans always strive for what we don't have, sometimes even forgetting about what truly matters.
