The three-day countdown for the raid finally ended. During that span of days, I spent most of my time fixing my Golem of mine. Today is the day of the raid. ording to in, they will move out as soon as I am ready to go. Because I have ss in the morning, I didn''t start the raid just yet.
Currently, we are in the cafeteria and currently, and Janus and Riko are with me and are voicing out theirints.
"Ugh, why must we be forsaken for the opportunity to join on an Expedition quest? Ugh, if only the release of that did not coincide with our exams, I wouldn''t be having this kind of problem right now..." Janus wanted to weep though of course,ically as he only feel sadness but not enough to cry a river.
"Quit whining. At least you get your chance to further your abilities rather than rely on others too much. Without deheart and the others, most of the time it was just us fighting in dungeons and bosses," Riko shoved his mouth with a hotdog with a bun.
"Well, you are right about that. But I also wanted to y with everyone you know. What is the point of being an MMO if you can''t y with your friends together?"
"Hey, I am also bummed out you know? I am a previous Pioneer like Manato here but I sacrificed the second expedition for the sake of my grades alright? It''s much better to focus on our studies first before our games. Especially for you who needed to at least be a bit average with your grades."
Iughed at them for their little bickering. " No need to worry. The expedition isn''t that funpared to the Sandurk one and it''s not even as impactful as the frozen region quest we did before so don''t worry too much. You guys are not missing much anyways," I assured them.
"See? Even Manato assured you about it. Instead of moping there, we could just improve our teamwork instead. We could use this chance to be more useful to Manato and the others in the game. We can''t just remain as support and fight while following his orders yeah? We need to work like the siblings who always fights dungeons all by themselves, heck, even auntie and uncle(Manato''s Parents) are doing fine with their endeavors and are now pretty well known in themunity as "The Power Couple!" We should at least make a name for ourselves too."
"Oh, that''s right Riko. I want to ask how is the mansion right now. Without me there, I am wondering what is happening over there while I am not yet done with the quest."
"Don''t worry Manato. Nothing much has changed except that Almira decided to use your mansion as her own workshop and shop now. Because she is making weapons from time to time and the mansion is not that far from a dungeon, that ce turned into a ce for business. Lina is working hard on maintaining the job of keeping the mansion clean and tidy all the time until youe back. Lily-san returned to the Capital after her tavern is fixed but she visits from time to time now."
"Wow, seriously? Howzy was Almira to even move her workshop to my mansion instead of fixing her old workshop? But I guess, it is fine. It would help make the ce a little lively while I am still not back on the maind just yet."
"Of course, that is our main base and our second home now, why would we even not take care of it?"
I smiled as I heard that. Now I am more eager to stop the future that will happen soon enough.

I returned to the game and tested the golem. After I installed various parts on the golem, it was no longer the same basic golem I faced before on the spire. It is now the customized version of my Golem which I am liking quite a lot. By the way, the Golem wasbeled as a "Pet" in the game for some unknown reason. Perhaps because it was a hostile entity at first and after I rebuild it to my liking, the system saw that as "taming" it which resulted in my acquisition of the golem.
"I still couldn''t believe you made a brand new-looking golem that is very different from the previous golem you brought out the other day. Heh, I was not expecting it but this is looking good," the dragon was admiring the golem I made like he was also a parent who helped raise it though he just watched.
I even installed a functioning brain and although all of the patterns it has been currently about battles, I am also trying to teach it like a human would act which made me feel like I am creating a robot. It''s still far from what was expected but this is just part of the trial and error. If this was a big failure, then I just needed to try again.
"Now that youpleted the work, are you going back for the fight?"
"Yeah. Thanks again for lending your cave. Appreciated it. Oh, also your stash of spare parts for the golems was great. If I can offer you anything you might need, I would dly provide it to you."
"Nah, that was nothing. Besides, the spare parts are just junk lying there. I don''t even have an interest in making one so it''s better if someone has used it in some way yeah? Don''t worry too much about it. Just visit me sometimes and if you have time, we could go and eat food with everyone too. Invite your friends as well."
"We might do that. I will try to find the time to hang out with you again. Until the conflict is over, you can count on us."
I bid farewell to the dragon and headed to the rebel''s base. The people are now ready and Harmless Sparrow and Sigma are now also equipped with their best armor and weapons as well. They are now geared to go.
in appeared as well and this time, instead of his usual casual clothes, he is now wearing his armor and weapons as well. He is now ready for war.
"Took you a bit of time, deheart. This will be our first step in fighting against the injustice against every people of the Luminous Continent and the crimes that the church is hiding from the popce. Are you now ready?" in asked as the quest panel for the raid appeared before my eyes.
"Of course. Let''s go."
in grinned and pulled out his weapon up in the sky.
"Let''s win this everyone! Let''s reim the lost freedom and take back our rights to live!" We will not be blinded by false gods and whatnot! We will rise up and fight for the future of everyone! March, my men! Let''s show those bastards that they shouldn''t mess with the rebels!"
