"What? How is Ai right now?" said Sky, he is currently talking with Maria through the phone, he is obviously worried about Ai. Ben touched Sky's shoulder a bit, indicating him to pass the phone to him, and Sky did so.
"Tell me about her condition in detail... Okay, I see. You go to my personal room in the infirmary, open the drawer at the left side of my desk, there should be a few bottles of teal colored liquid, take one bottle and let her drink it, it's to replenish vitality and magic level." said Ben, then he hanged up the phone after finish giving Maria some complete instructions. Then he realised the other two are staring at him.
"Don't worry, just one bottle would not leave any side effects on her body." said Ben, trying to explain to them. "You know we are not talking about that. You are still consuming that medicine?" said Sky. "Seriously, you are a doctor, you should know better than us how bad the consequences of over consuming that kind of medicine." said Chris, a bit angry. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." said Ben trying to avoid the topic. "No, you obviously don't." said Chris.
Suddenly, someone knocked their door. It's that boy in clergy again.
"Good afternoon, His Grace ordered me to give this to you." said the boy while handed Sky a small box, then he bowed at the three and left. Sky opened the box, inside of the box is a map, a yellow gemstone and a Bible.
"This is the map for our quest location... But what's the use of this gemstone and Bible?" Sky asked while staring at Chris. "Well, it's not like I will have the answer even if you stared at me like this." said Chris, rather awkward.
Sky continues staring Chris for a few seconds until a state that Chris had to push Sky's face away from his sight.
"Anyway... It's really a lucky decision to let Maria stay at the secret base, the only weakness for that kind of worm is extremely high heat. But seriously, it's kind of impressive that there is still someone who are able breed this kind of worm." said Chris, trying to drawing away Sky's attention.
"Seriously, that's really beyond our expectations, I can't even imagine what would happen if Maria wasn't there." said Sky, who had successfully getting distracted by Chris. "The aftermath could be quite complicated and tedious, should we head back?" Ben asked Chris. "I want to complete this quest first... You can get back to secret base without me." said Chris with a really low volume, a bit troubled.
Sky looks at him with concerned eyes, it disheartening for him to see Chris is such a behaviour. He patted Chris's shoulder.
"Don't worry, we will do it together with you, we will leave the secret base to Maria, I believe he is able to handle it well." said Sky. Chris looks at Sky with surprised eyes for a second before turning away his head and not saying anything anymore. "But not today. We will do it tomorrow, right now, both your physically and mentally need a good rest." said Sky in gentle and caring voice. Chris nodded sheepishly like a kid.

"I see, please take good care of Chris chan okay?... Don't worry about Ai chan, she had recovered well thanks to the medicines of Ben chan... Mmm... Don't worry, I'm fine, I didn't even use my fire demon magic today... Mmm, see you, I love you darling ~ Mmuah!" Maria kissed the phone as he hanged up the call from Sky.
"Now I need to disinfecting the lounge with some heat ray... Hmm... This could be a tedious task. Time to work!" said Maria, all fired up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, Sky experienced a weird dream again.
In the dream, he saw a duplicate of him is having the same conversation he had with Chris in the afternoon, just that he makes a different decision. Instead of choosing to do the quest together with Chris, he goes the other way round, letting Chris to go for the quest alone.
"No! You should not do that, it's dangerous!" said Sky.
Then, the scene switches to another place, Chris is walking on an empty corridor, as he walks on deeper, his body starting to get covered by some dark aura, the dark aura accumulated on him, and eventually 'swallowed' him in whole. Before he gets completely 'swallowed', he turned his face to Sky and stared at Sky with a disturbing smile...
"Chris!" Sky shouted as he wake up from that dream, Chris and Ben are looking at him with concerned eyes. "That's kind of dream again?" Chris asked, Sky shook his head before start checking on Chris's body again, to make sure what he experienced just now is purely just a dream.
"Ah, I see, you dream of me dying again, so how did I die again this time?" said Chris, trying to ease Sky's emotions a bit with a joke, Sky stared at Chris, he laughed out as he realised what Chris was trying to do.
"Seriously, you are really bad at this." said Sky, who had eased from that dream due to Chris's cold joke. Then Sky told them about that dream.
"Probably the fate and my premonition magic did not expected that I will choose to do that quest with you instead going back to Secret Base to handle things that sounds more important and thus showing me that what should actually happened.' said Sky.
."Hmm... It seems that 'fate' doesn't even know how important Chris is to us, and everyone else." said Ben, who also did a body check on Chris.
"Ah... These two." Chris is a bit awkward and annoyed.
"Tell me about her condition in detail... Okay, I see. You go to my personal room in the infirmary, open the drawer at the left side of my desk, there should be a few bottles of teal colored liquid, take one bottle and let her drink it, it's to replenish vitality and magic level." said Ben, then he hanged up the phone after finish giving Maria some complete instructions.
