Narrator- Elite Soliders- 7 Externals & 2 Internals
Ginto- 4 Externals & 1 Internal
(Dragon Hospital, Mizumi's Room, 12:33 p.m, Day 32) (Two Days to go for the 12th External Dragon Part)

After failing to find the 11th Dragon Part on Godforsaken Island, Elite Soldiers finally returned to the Dragon Country. The three girls, Ayumi, Mizumi, and Itsumi, were immediately admitted to the hospital to treat their injuries. Luckily, all three had successful operations and were told to rest at the hospital before they got discharged.

During this resting period, Hinaka visited the three and spent equal time talking with them. He partially considered it his own fault that they all got injured because he thought that, as a leader, he couldn't perform up to the desired level and protect his own comrades in the process.

The three girls told Hinaka the same thing that he wasn't to regret, as it wasn't his fault but their own. Upon hearing this, Hinaka had a sense of relief, with which he could leave the hospital comfortably.

Mizumi (while looking at the sky through the window)- Hinaka is such a good boy. Hmmm....... (looks at the calendar hanging on the wall) Only three more days are left for the "Carnival" to get over. Just three more... I can't believe it's already been more than a month since the soldiers of the Aquatic Country arrived here. It feels like just yesterday when all of us were having a kabaddi match. And now... now it's all about to get over. And I still haven't told Hinaka about my true feelings or proposed to him yet. I kept on waiting for him to make the first move after all the hints I gave him. Yet he still hasn't done anything. If this continues and the Carnival gets over, who knows if we will ever get a chance to team up again in the future?? I can't just keep on waiting... I can't just keep on waiting!! (takes a long pause) Okay!!! I have decided that if he isn't going to take the first step, then I will!! I will propose to him!! It's okay; even if he ends up rejecting me, that would be fine. I don't want to spend the rest of my life regretting this moment!!!

Narrator: Mizumi picks up his phone, opens the Messenger app, then clicks on Hinaka's number and messages him that she wishes to invite him for dinner tonight at her place. Hinaka gives him a thumbs-up emoji reply, signifying his acceptance of the invitation.

Mizumi(with a smile)- Okay!! Now that's done, I should let my mom and dad know about this also!!

(Mizumi's House, Drawing Room, 8:58 p.m)

Mizumi- Dad, dad, dad!! Where are you??

Narrator- Mizumi's dad, meanwhile, was sitting at the pot, busy pooping.

Mizumi's Dad- I am over here, dear!! I will be out soon!!

Mizumi- Huh??!!! Dad, it's almost time!! Hinaka will be here any moment now!!

Mizumi's Dad- Hmph, a real man always arrives at their destination five minutes late, so just wait for me outside. I will be there before him. Oh goddd, a long one is coming out!!!!!!! Wait for me, wait for me, dear!!

Mizumi (with an angry face)- Disgusting!!!!!!

(Door bell rings, 9:00 p.m)

Mizumi Oh, he is here!!! Yeah!!!! (runs and opens the door)

Hinaka- Good evening!! (hands mizumi a pink rose bouquet)

Mizumi- Aww, thank you so much!! Come, please get in!! (hinaka enters the house and sits on the sofa) What would you like?? Juice or cold drink??

Hinaka- Milk

Mizumi- Hmm??

Hinaka- I said milk. I would appreciate it if you could bring that. You see, I was actually training for an hour before coming here.

Mizumi- Oh, I see.

Hinaka- I was busy cleaning Raiden and my own bathrooms.

Mizumi- Oh.. oh.. oh.. tha-tha- that's great. I will bring milk in an instant; you just wait here. (goes to the kitchen)

(Mizumi's dad enters the scene)

Mizumi's Dad- Aaaaaahhh!! That was a good one. (saw hinaka and then began staring at him)

Hinaka- Hello, sir. You must be Mizumi's dad. It's nice to meet you. (offers a handshake, which his dad accepts)

Mizumi's Dad- Dad?? I am not her dad; I am her boyfriend.

Hinaka- Huh....?!!

Mizumi's Dad- Joking!! Joking!! I was joking!! Hahahahaha!! Yeah, you are right. I am her dad; my name is "Miki.".

Hinaka(with an akward face)- H-h-h-h-haha. (both of them sits at the safa)

Narrator- Mizumi comes in from the kitchen with a glass of milk in a tray and offers it to Hinaka, but her dad, Miki, came in between and took the glass first.

Miki(to mizumi)- Thank you for the milk, dear. (began drinking it)

Mizumi- Dad!!!!

Miki- What??!!!

Mizumi- This milk wasn't for you, it was for hinaka!!!

Miki(while farting)- Oh, I am terribly sorry!!! I really thought that you brought the milk for me!!! (offers half drunk milk to hinaka)

Hinaka(to miki)- Th-Thanks for offering, but I have to pass. You keep on enjoying.

Miki- As you wish. (drinks the remaining milk and gives a loud burps)

Hinaka(with a confusing face)- .......

Mizumi- Daddddd!!! Please behave!!! Stop insulting me while in front of others!!

Miki- When did I even insulted you??!!!

Mizumi- Shut up!!

Miki- You are a weird girl you know that.

Mizumi- Hinaka dear, just wait for some more time, I will bring you another glass of milk.

Hinaka- Its fine. I don't have any desire to drink anymore. A simple glass of water will do the trick. (mizumi brings in the water, and then hinaka drinks it)

Mizumi(while looking at the watch)- Hmmmmm.......

Hinaka- Mizumi, where is your mom anyways?? I am not seeing her around.

Mizumi- Sheee..... is at her work. Should be arriving soon enough though.

Hinaka- Ohkay, I understand.

Miki- Let's have the dinner!!

Mizumi- Not right now, dad; let mom arrive first!!

Miki- Aah, who cares about her?! I am hungry; our guest over here is hungry as well, aren't you, Mr..... what is your name again??

Hinaka- Hinaka

Miki- Yeah, Mr. Hinaka, are you hungry or not??

Hinaka- Well, I can wait for her mom, and then we can all eat together.

Miki- See, he is hungry as well!! Come on, now let's sit at the table and start the dinner. (stood up and moved towards the table)

Mizumi- You are never going to change, dad. You only care about yourself!!

Hinaka- It's okay, mizumi; don't say it like that. He is your father.

Mizumi(with a frustrated face)- ........

(At the dinner table)

Narrator- Dinner had dishes "Rajma Chawal," "Dal Makhani," "Paneer Butter Masala," and "Naan's" as well. Mizumi prepared the table, and then all three sat together, ready to start.

Miki- Wow!! You have cooked a lot of dishes, dear!! Is tonight a special night or something??

Mizumi(in her mind)- Is he stupid?! I have brought a male friend for dinner at my house, and yet he still doesn't understand what's important?!!! (miki starts the dinner)

Hinaka(while joining his hands)- Thank you for the food!!

Mizumi(while looking at hinaka)- He is so cute!! I love him!! (in her mind)

Narrator- Miki smiles as he sees Mizumi looking at Hinaka.

Hinaka- The food is tasty!!! I like it!!

Miki (to mizumi)- Yeah, dear, it's wonderful!! Your best work yet!!

Mizumi- Thanks for the compliment, both of you.

Hinaka(to mizumi)- Aaah?? Why haven't you started yet?? Okay!! Every time you are the one who offers me food, now I will!! Say aaaaaaaaa!! (fills a spoon with rajma chawal and takes it toward mizumi)

Mizumi(while blusing)- Ooooooohhhhh, no way this is real!!! Hinaka is really going to feed me with his own hands!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaah (opens her mouth but closes her eyes)

Narrator- Before Hinaka could feed her, Mizumi's mom, "Misaki," enters the house and eats it from the spoon.

Hinaka- Hmmm??!

Mizumi(while her eyes closed)- Huh, why hasn't Rajma Chawal arrived in my mouth??

Hinaka(with a stunned face)- Misaki??!!!!! The famous actress is that really you?!!!

Misaki- Yummmm!!

Mizumi(while her eyes closed)- Hmm?? Where is it really??!! How long is it going to take hinaka to bring a spoon forward??!! (opens her eyes) Mom, you???!!!

Misaki- Mizumi!! The rajma chawal is delicious!! Well done!!

Mizumi- Aaa, aaah, thank you.

Misaki(while whispering to mizumi's ears)- So, is this the fellow you have talked to me about before??

Mizumi(while blushing)- Ye-yeah!!

Hinaka(to misaki)- Ma'am, can I take a selfie with you?? My mom is actually a big fan of yours.

Misaki- Oh, absolutely. (hinaka then takes the selfie) You smell good; may I sit along with you??

Hinaka- Sure. But... on my right is mizumi's dad, and on the left is mizumi herself. So.......

Misaki- Don't worry about that. There is still one seat open. (sits on hinaka's lap)

Hinaka(with a surprised face)- Huh?!

Mizumi- Mom!!!! What the hell are you doing??!!! (forcefully made misaki stand up and sit beside her) Control yourself!!!

Misaki- Boo!! I just wanted to feel the warmth of a true man.

Miki(while eating his dinner)- So you mean to tell me that I am not a real man?!!

Misaki- Oh, I didn't even notice that you were here. Hehehe!!

Hinaka- You never told me, ?
mizumi, that your mother is a famous actress!!

Mizumi- Just... couldn't bring it up. Hehehehe!!

(Miki turns on the TV and selects the news channel)

News Anchor- Good evening, everyone!! Welcome to our daily coverage at the "Willburn Desert", where we will discuss the latest happenings here and whether there really is a chance for the "King of the World, Delos, to make his return!!

Mizumi(to miki)- You know you could have watched this program at a later time. We are having a guest at our place, if you don't remember!!

Miki- Keep quiet!! Guest can wait, King of the World can't!!

Mizumi(while staring at miki)- ........

News Anchor- As you are all aware, Courtier wrote in his book that the King of the World, Delos, will be revived in the year of supernova star formation, meaning the present year.

Hinaka(to miki)- Do you really think he will be revived??

Miki- Its an unpredictable world, anything can happen.

Hinaka- I guess you are right.

Mizumi(in her mind)- It's time!! I don't think I will get a better chance than this to tell hinaka about my true feelings!!

(to hinaka)- Hi-hi-hinaka..... (miki farts)

Misakai(while pressing her nose)- Eww!!

Mizumi(in her mind)- What the fuck??!!!!! What kind of man is my father?!!!!

Hinaka(with an awkward face)- Yes, mizumi, what were you saying??

Mizumi(in her mind)- Forget mizumi, forget whatever happened!! This is not the time to complain.

(to hinaka)- I was saying....

Misaki(to hinaka)- Hinaka dear, you have a little bit of rajma stuck near your lips.

Hinaka(touches his right side of lips)- Where?? I can't find it.

Misaki- You are touching the wrong side. It's on the left one. (hinaka touches the left side but still couldn't find it) Oh hoo!! Wait, I will help you. (take out her lips and move forward to lick rajma from his face)

Mizumi(with a stunned face)- Mom!!!!!!!!!

Misaki- Just kidding!! Don't worry. (cleans the rajma with a handkerchief)

Mizumi(in her mind)- Pheww!!! My parents are one rare item!! Okay, this time I will surely tell hinaka about my feelings!!

(to hinaka)- Hinaka, please listen to what I have to say!! (takes deep breaths) Since the first time I saw you at the tournament, I have fallen in love with you!! And I would like you to marry me!!!

Miki(in his mind)- Marry???!!!! I knew mizumi bringing a man to the house was weird, but I wasn't expecting a direct marriage offer made by her!! She has definitely skipped a few steps here!!

Hinaka(while coughing)- Wh-wh-what??!!! Marry you??!! Nah, nah, I can't do that!!

Mizumi(with a stunned face)- ......

Hinaka- Okay, let me say it again. mizumi, you are a good girl, you are strong, and you care about others. At least when it matters, this is something I like about you. But.... I can't just marry you. I have also known for a long time that you like me, but I simply don't have the same feelings towards you.

Mizumi(with a depressed face)- .......

Hinaka- I probably should have stopped you from behaving the way you have since the tournament, but I just never had the guts to do so. Whenever I looked at your face, it just made me feel vulnerable. This is when I realized that even though I don't have any feelings for you now, that doesn't mean I will never have them at all.

Mizumi (with a big smile)- .......

Hinaka- So... (holding mizumi's hands) give me some time. Maybe when I leave the Dragon Country, I could potentially start feeling something. But, for now, let me focus on being a good Elite Soldier; there are still things I wish to do.

Mizumi(while blushing)- I understand. Maybe I was being too pushy. I am sorry. Take as much time as you want; I will always wait for you. (hinaka smiles in return)

Misaki- Awwww, how cute!!! If you had waited any longer to tell hinaka about your feelings, mizumi, then I would have just proposed to him instead of you and then held his hands afterwards.

Mizumi- Mommmmmm!!!!!!!!!! Please stop joking!!!!

Misaki- What?? I was not joking. I was serious. Hahahahahaha!!

Mizumi- Mommmm, stop it!!

Hinaka- So, uncle and aunt, would you hand over your daughter's hand to me when the time comes??

Miki(with a serious face)- Hmmmm. If my daughter considers you worthy, then I am no one to speak. Keep mizumi safe.

Misaki- I have no objections. (stood up and held hinaka's shirt collar) But why the hell did you call me an aunt???!!! In what fricking world do I look like one??

Hinaka- So sorry about that!!

Miki- Now, now, there is no need to get so riled up, misaki, on things that are true.

Mizumi(with a low-pitched voice)- Now he has done it.

Narrator- Misaki picks up a glass of water and throws it at Miki.

Misaki(to miki)- Take this, you "Pathetic Ignorant Goon," aka PIG!! (miki stood up furiously)

Miki- I told you the last time to never call me by that word again!! I hate it when someone calls me that!!

Misaki- Hmph, then you shouldn't have interfered with my business!!

Mizumi(to hinaka)- Let's just continue our dinner. This is going to go on for a while.

Hinaka(with a confused face)- H-ha-h-h-ha-ha!! Right. (began eating)

(After half an hour, Outside Mizumi's House)

Mizumi(to hinaka)- I hope the food was tasty.

Hinaka It was. I could tell with how much care and passion the food was made.

Mizumi(while blushing)- I am happy that you liked it.

Hinaka- Listen, mizumi, there are many unknown variables in this world, ones that we Elite Soldiers aren't even aware of. I think a lot of them will start showing their ugly heads in the future, and in order to counter them, we have to get stronger. Because if we don't, then the future you envision will never become a reality.

Mizumi(with a serious look)- I am aware of that. I plan to give my all to protect my family, my lover, and my citizens!!!

Hinaka(with a smile)- You have started to grow mizumi. I am happy for you.

(Inside the House)

Misaki- Mizumi has found a good man. I think we can rest easy now.

Miki- I never thought I would hear those words. But I am glad I did. Mizumi's happiness is our happiness!!

Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 7 Externals and 2 Internals
Ginto- 4 externals and 1 internal
(Eldon's House, Terrace, 6:45 p.m., Day 33) (One day to go for the 12th External Dragon Part)

{7 Years Ago: Eldon's Age: 17, Eldon's Orginal House}

Eldon's Mom- Eldon, you aren't understanding what I am saying!! You are just so stubborn!!!

Eldon(with an angry face)- Enough, mom!! You have already said too much. I am leaving this house now!! (walks towards the doorstep with a bag in his hand)

Eldon's Mom- What???!!! Have you gone insane??!!! You really wish to leave the house just because we had a trivial argument??!!

Eldon- This isn't the first time we are having some sort of argument!! You and the entire family have insulted me a lot in the past!! I just can't take it anymore!!

Narrator- Eldon's Mom grabbed Eldon's hand forcefully and held it tightly, not letting him go.

Eldon's Mom- You aren't going anywhere!! I am calling your dad!! (calls the dad and explains to him the entire situation)

Eldon's Dad- Hand over the phone to him.

(to eldon)- What am I hearing??

Eldon- Whatever you are hearing is right. I am sorry, but I wish to leave this house and start my own life. I think then only I will be able to get successful and shut all your mouths for good!!

Eldon's Dad- Is this truly the choice you have made??

Eldon- Yess!!

Eldon's Dad- And you won't regret your decision later on and turn your tail and run back home??

Eldon- Never!!

Eldon's Dad- Then you are free to leave. You have your mom and dad's blessing.

Eldon(with a smile)- Thank you. I won't disappoint you.

(Present Day)

Eldon(while looking at the stars)- Why am I remembering all of this today?? Sheesh! I don't need anyone in my life!! They are not worthy of me.

(Door Bell Rings)

Narrator- Eldon opened the door and then saw Livon standing outside.

Eldon- Hmph, what are you doing here??

Livon- Came to hang out. And I brought them along too!!

Narrator- Hinaka, Mizumi, Raiden, Ayumi, Noren, Itsumi, Tegan, and Jashmin popped out from behind Livon.

Raiden(to eldon)- Heyy, we are all going to play alongside you both tonight as well!! (comes inside the house)

Ayumi(to eldon)- Sorry to barge in like this, but I had nothing better to do, so... yeah.

Tegan(to eldon)- Which game are we going to play, huh??

Eldon(with a confused face)- Well.... we will see.

Noren(to eldon)- Come on, where is the washroom?? Where is the washroom??? Hurry up!!

Eldon- Straight, second door to the right.

Noren- Okay, thanks. (then pushes eldon aside)

Itsumi(to eldon)- Sorry about that.

Eldon- No issues.

Hinaka(to eldon)- Do not worry about the food; I have brought plenty along with me.

Eldon- Great. Why are you standing outside?? Come in.

Mizumi(to eldon)- Hmph, I only came here because hinaka insisted me; it's not like I have any interest in coming into an arrogant person's house.

Eldon- Sorry about the way I behaved with you on the island. I realize that my frustrations made me say some terrible things about you. I am truly sorry.

Mizumi(with a surprised face)- Its..... fine.

Hinaka- Mizumi, say it!!

Mizumi(while blushing)- I was quite rude towards you as well, so I am sorry too.

Hinaka(to mizumi)- That's better.

Eldon- I can forgive you only if you agree to clean my utensils before leaving.

Mizumi- Heyyy??!!!

Eldon- Just kidding. Just enjoy yourself.

(to jashmin)- Talking about cleaning utensils, and here we have... jashmin. Firstly, with all seriousness, are you really here to clean them??

Jashmin- Shut up!! Ofcourse not!!

Eldon- Then why are you here?? Perhaps you were missing my bossy attitude, huh??

Jashmin- No!! I was fired from my role as a ghost because I apparently failed to scare you guys away. So I am looking for a new job now!!

Eldon- This still doesn't answer my question.

Jashmin- Wait a second!! I was coming to that only. While I was looking for a new job, I came across tegan, he offered me the position of an Elite Soldier after being impressed by my majestic performance on Godforsaken Island against the aliens.

Eldon- And you accepted the position, and then he dragged you here along with him??

Jashmin- Actually, I didn't accept the position.

Eldon- Then why are you here??? To stuff out on some good food??!!

Jashmin- Oh, how did you know?? Even though I rejected the position, I couldn't reject an offer to eat some good food. That's why I am here!!

Eldon(with an angry face)- You could have said this a lot sooner!! You stupid girl!!

Jashmin(in her mind)- Ohh yesss!! That's it (breathes heavily) Abuse me!! Please abuse me more!!

Narrator- With that, everyone sat together in Eldon's room; some sat on the bed, and others sat on the floor. They started playing various games, such as board games, video games, and other fun games. They kept on playing until they all got tired and slept. Eldon, meanwhile, made his way to the terrace and began looking at the stars.

Eldon(with a smile)- Maybe having someone along with you isn't so bad either.
