Kei started working on the fields as well. With her water magic, she could water a good part of the fields, and she did that while reading her books. By the time she ended, though, she would click her tongue every minute and complain about the hot weather. Rain was a bit worried about her…

Gila didn't have a preference for magic, and she didn't help on the fields either. Still, despite being five, she already could use the four elements. She used them to help her mother and grandmother cook, though. Thanks to that, now and then, Rain was able to eat pudding… she taught her that and became a hit in the family… Rain had to find an explanation for where he learned such a recipe, though.

"How are things in the capital?" Roan asked while they were watching the girls using water balls against each other, and Kei getting annoyed that Dana wouldn't leave her alone. "Is your party doing all right?"

"More or less, it is a bit troublesome to see kids being lovey-dovey, though," Rain said and then recalled that Jori and Reca were already eighteen, and since their skills improved, they were relaxing a bit too much during the missions.

"Hahaha, I suppose so," Roan said while grinning. "Still, your skills have improved a lot since you began to work with them; even without magic, I can't defeat you anymore… my pride as a man is completely broken. Anyway, there are three other girls at the party, right? Anything happening between you and then?"

Rain sure liked the fact that his father was quick to recover like that. Still, now that he thought about it, Rain never saw those three like that. While they were single and eighteen already, their relationship was basically of a teacher looking after them.

Rain sparred with everyone on a daily basis, and that was why his skills improved. Learning how to read the trajectory of arrows, how to counter spells while he charged toward the opponent, moving around and dodging strikes by a paper-thin margin in order to get some room for a counterattack… Rain learned all that in the last eight months. Rain also taught Terra some self-defense skills.

While she wasn't going to punch anything or anyone, she could dodge some attacks and then throw her targets over her shoulders.

"Not happening," Rain replied. "It would be too much suffocating if something happened between them and me since we work often. Besides, while I am taller than them, I am still seven years younger, and they have their own goals, and it isn't related to romance."

Asche and Terra wanted to keep the orphanage in the church up and running, and they often used their money to help. Liss apparently wanted to become a famous mage… Rain didn't know why, from the group, she was the most Mysterious person, after all.

"Your mom is glad that you aren't fooling around, even though you are my son," Roan said. "Still, you need to relax a bit as well and live your life. You can't spend all day and every day thinking of getting stronger. You mentioned Lorene introducing you to some girls. Didn't you like any of them?"

"Noble girls are more trouble than they're worth," Rain replied.

"I get what you mean… if their noses were any longer, they would live with their necks hurting," Roan said while forcing a smile.

It seemed that Roan wanted to have a boy talk with his son; maybe that world was like that, but Rain felt that he was hoping too much from an eleven years old boy.

"Big bro, when can I join the organization?" Dana suddenly approached and then asked while she was drenched for playing with water.

"When you beat me using Impulse or when you are able to hit me using magic," Rain replied and then emitted some warm wind from his hands to dry Dana's hair. "That place isn't a place for kids."

"But you are a kid!" Dana protested.

"No, I am taller than you; henceforth, I am not a kid," Rain said.

"What is henceforth?" Dana asked.

"A big word that adults use," Rain replied and then looked at his father. "Why do you want to join the organization? You can help Dad hunt monsters here."

"It is boring, monsters rarely show up here, and Daddy can deal with them without me," Dana replied.

"... I want to visit the capital to buy some books," Kei said with her usual expressionless face.

"I can buy them for you," Rain said.

"I want to take my time looking for them," Kei said.

Kei seemed more mature than Dana, so Rain had a hard time convincing her not to go, she was smart for her age, and she probably thought beforehand of many reasons why she had to go herself.

"Dad and Mom can't leave this area, and I might receive some work as soon as I return, so I can't take you all there," Rain explained.

Rain didn't mind giving them a tour through the capital, but that would make people see that they were his sisters. Rain didn't think that he did anything to make enemies within the human territory. Still, he was acquainted with Branden, and he was famous as well. A good hit on him will affect the organization…

"Let's do this, I will take you all to the capital once I buy a home there and we recover our territories," Rain said. "Dana can enter the school there in one year, so it will be better if you leave there with me."
