-The Next Day-

A day later, both Fina and Ellalaura arrived at the King's castle...

Fina: This is the king's castle?

Ellalaura: You've never been here before, right? That's why I wanted to take you here.

Ellalaura then puts her left hand on Fina's back, trying to reassure her while heading there.

Ellalaura: Fina, I understand that you're worried, but please, the king is also nice as well.

Fina: *Worried* What makes you say that?

Ellalura: *Smiles* Don't worry, just observe before acting. It won't be that bad, just like how Yuna, (Y/N), and Gura entered here before.

Fina: Wait, what? How did they interacted with His Majesty?

Ellalura: It's all a friendly interaction. You'll see it for yourself. Trust me, Fina. (Y/N) doesn't want you to be worried all the time.

Fina: *Nods nervously* I-I'll try my best...

Ellalura: *Nods* Good.

-Back at the Mines-

You were peacefully a sleeping in your room while Alphax herself is sleeping in her wolf form on the wooden floors.

Alphax felt the morning has risen as she decided to return back to her human form and gently shake you.

Alphax: Master, it's already morning now, wake up.

You groggily woke up from your slumber as you sat up and yawned while stretching your torso.

(Y/N): Mornin' Alphax.

Alphax: *Nods with a smile* Let's go and get something to eat. I'm starving.

(Y/N): *Nods* Same.

...

Later, everyone headed downstairs to order breakfast and eat them.

Alphax: *Sips on her tea* So, what's the plan today?

Yuna: Simple. We go to the mines after we eat breakfast.

(Y/N): A sound plan.

Gura: *Nods* Mm! *Munches on the bread*

That is when all of you hear familiar voices.

Jaden: Oh, you guys are early?

Gura: Yeah, we just started eating breakfast.

-Mini Time Skip-

Afte eating breakfast, everyone headed down to the mines.

Jaden: Looks like Barbould's party went in using a different entrance.

Mel: Perfect. Less trouble for us.

Yuna: (Barbould? Oh, those Bozo Rangers.)

While walking, a sudden golem enters the battlefield in front of everyone.

Senia: There it is. A mad golem.

Mel then grips onto her staff as she summons her wind magic that cuts down the left arm of the Mad Golem, followed by Jaden sliced down the Mad Goldem's legs, and Senia killing the Mad Golem's head to finish it off.

Mel: You can defeat a golem by removing or destroying the mana gem inside of it. But since the mana gem is valuable, it's better not to destroy it.

Alphax: *Curious* Is there any other to defeat it?

Mel: If you damage them beyond a certain point, the magic in the mana gem will drop enough that they'll stop moving.

Yuna: Hmm...

-Back with Fina-

Inside the castle, Ellalaura and Fina were seen walking together down the hallways.

Ellalura: Fina, where do you want to go?

Fina: *Lowers head head down anxiously* Um, I don't know.

Ellalura: You don't have to be so nervous. I'll take care of anyone who bullies you in Yuna's place. Even if it's the king himself.

This made Fina filnch upon hearing that until Ellalaura giggles and says...

Ellalura: Calm down, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously.

Fina: *Sigh* That wasn't really funny, you scared me.

Ellalura: Okay, okay, it wasn't. Anyways, I know the perfect place!

Ellalura then takes Fina's hand and drags her to the perfect place she mentioned.

-Back to (Y/N)-

Back to you and the group, there were three golems on the way.

Jaden: Rock Golems!

One of the Rock Golems through rock projectiles but was blocked by Mel using earth element magic to create a boulder fom the ground.

Jaden: Yuna! Gura! (Y/N)! Alphax Can you handle of them?!

Gura: We got this! *Summons out her Trident*

(Y/N)/Alphax: You got it/Right!

Yuna: Bear Punch!

Yuna then punches one Rock Golem as it sends it flying onto the wall which gained attention from everyone.

Gura: Get a load of this!

Gura then summons out water magic and entangles the second rock golem before she splits it in half using her Trident.

You prepared your right fist while Alphax prepared her left fist before launching a perfect single punch through the third golem as it explodes upon contact of your punches.

Mel: Wow, you guys are so strong!

Senia: Just like the rumors.

Jaden: But looks like we shouldn't leave everything to them.

Toya: We'll be buried alive before all the golems are defeated.

Gura: I guess that's true. Going all out can lead us to die in this enclosed space...

-With Fina-

Back to Fina and Ellalura, they arrived at the gardens behind the King's castle.

Fina: So pretty...

Ellalaura: The castle is very proud of this garden.

Fina was looking at the beautiful flowers while Ellalaura says "Isn't it beautiful?" However, they hear a familiar voice behind them.

???: Ellalura, what are you doing in a place like this?

Two girls looked to the source of the voice which was none other than the King himself and his daughter, Flora.

Fina: (That must be the King and the Princess!)

Ellalaura: I'm off today, so I decided to show this child around the castle.

King: Hm? *Realizes* Oh, the young girl that was in Yuna's house. Your name is Fina, right?

Flora: *Enthusiastic* Miss Bear's friend!

Fina: *Tries to maintain her manners out of panic* Y-Yes! Lady Ellalaura has been kind enough to show around the castle today! *Bows* Thank you very much!

King: *Reassuring* No need to be so stiff. Unlike Yuna, you are quite well-mannered, just like (Y/N) and Gura.

Ellalaura: Oh, my. I feel bad for Yuan when you word it like that.

King: *Mild annoyance* She was never once taken the effort to come and say hello to me when she visits.
Ellalaura: Well, Yuna is usually here just to see Princess Flora. (Y/N) and Gura visited here often from time to time or get dragged by Yuna.

King: Yes, there's no helping howa cute my daughter is. But the last time I visited Floar's room because I heard Yuna was visiting...

-Flasback-

King: *Surprised* You're here, Yuna.

Flora: Father, I'm reading picture books with Miss Bear right now.

Yuna looks back at the King with a dismissive expression.

-Flashback End-

King: She looked so annoyed. I'm quite sure she doesn't think of me as a king at all.

Fina: *Worried* (Yuna Sis, what were you doing in front of the king?!)

Ellalaura: But you don't dislike Yuna, do you?

King: True. She and her friends are kind to my daughter and protected the royal capital from danger.
Flora: I'm friends with Miss Bear and her friends! And pudding is yummy!

Fina: *Even more worried* (She has the king and princess wrapped around her little finger?!)

-Back to (Y/N) and his group

Back at the mines, Toya is seen fighting against the Iron Golem with his sword, but his blade wouldn't cut through.

Toya: The iron golems are a lot harder to cut down.

Suddenly, Senia cuts down the golem with her twin daggers in an X slash until it was followed by Jaden cutting down the iron golden with the same X slash.

Yuna: Wow! They managed to cut through iron golems!

Mel: Senia's knife and Jaden's sword are made of mithril...

Yuna: Mithril?!

Toya: That's right. Jeez, I wish I had a mithril sword. An iron golem would be super easy to cut down!

Mel: Oh, having a mithril weapon doesn't mean you can cut down an iron golem. Jaden and Senia can do it because they have the skills to back it up. It'd be impossible for Toya.

Toya flinched upon hearing that response while Yuna wants the mithril so bad. You, Gura, and Alphax remained silent in a neutral way.

However, everyone hears the sound of blades clashing at the end, all of you decided to check it out until you see Barbould and his Bozo Ranger team getting smacked by another Golem with a crystal body.

Green Bozo Ranger tries to go for an attack but gets whacked away, both Blue Bozo Ranger and Barbould goes to attack but their weapons didn't do anything to the creature.

Barbould: It's so hard!

The Black Bozo Ranger goes to summon his spell to attack the crystal gole, and it was deemed to be ineffective.

Black Bozo Ranger: Magic doesn't work either.

White Bozo Ranger: What should we do?

Mel: As expected, it's Barbould's party. More importantly, what kind of golem is that?

Senia: It's the wrong color for an iron golem.

Alphax: That crystal body, what the hell is that made it out of?

Jaden: Is it a mithril golem?!

Toya: A mithril golem?!

Yuna then scanned the golem and it was indeed a Mithril Golem.

Mel: If that's the case, Barbould's party is in trouble. The enemy is too strong.

Jaden then decided to step in attempt to help Barbould and his party members.

Jaden: A mithril golem? Need help?

Barbould: This is ours! We don't need your help! Don't you dare!

Mel then asks Jaden on what their plan is until Jaden tells Mel that Barbould didn't need their help and isn't sure if they all could take it down and working together against it.

Mel adds that magic spells won't work, Senia then also adds that physical attacks won't work, either. Toya, on the other hand, wished for having a mithril sword.

Jaden: Alright, we're going home! Don't worry, we'll still report your heroic battle to the guild if you die!

Barbould: We won't die! Take your pets with you and scram!

(Y/N): *Triggered* That piece of...!

Senia: Stop (Y/N), let's just go.

And just like that, Jaden and his party members left while you, Gura, Alphax, and Yuna were left contemplating about the Mithril golem.

Gura: So, what's the plan, Yuna?

Yuna: *Smirks* Don't worry, the plan will be settled into my room once we're done eating dinner.

(Y/N): If you say so. *Looks at Barbould with disdain* I sure do hope that damn bastard gets humility within him...

-Time Skip at Night

Mel: What should we do about the job now, Jaden?

Jaden: If Balbourd can't take it down with his mithril sword, we'll have to give up.

Mel: Right. They look stupid, but they have good equipment and skills.

And speaking of the devil...

Balourd: Shit! It's impossible to take one of those down!

Blue Bozo Ranger: It was tough!

White Bozo Ranger: I can't believe none of our attacks worked...

Jaden: *Smirks* Oh, so you made it back alive?

Boulbard: Like I'd die! But it was still impossible.

Jaden: *Serious* That's what I thought. Looks like we'll have to report it to the guild. Maybe soldiers or magic casters that are knight class from the royal capital cann do something about it?

Barbould: *Reluctant* They have the people and the equipment for it.

Jaden: So it goes. Looks like we've done all we can here. *Raises hand* A round of drinks for Barbould's party, on me.

Barbould: Hmph, one round?

Jaden: I'll treat you as many rounds as you want if you could tell us how to defeat tha thing.

...

Waitress: *Places the plates of cup of beers* Thanks for waiting!

Barbould: Whatever. I'll just rake in as muc as I can from the iron golems until the soldiers from the capital arrive.

Green Bozo Ranger: Yeah, sounds good.

Black Bozo Ranger: No point is taking unnecessary risks.

At the same time, you, Yuna, Gura, and Alphax all rose up from your seats.

Mel: Where are you guys going?

Yuna: We're gonna need some sleep.

Gura: *Nods enthusiastically* Mm! Early as we can be~!

Alphax: We'll see you around in the morning.

...

And now, everyone arrived inside Yuna's room.

(Y/N): So, any ideas?

Yuna: We'll take down that mithirl golem before the soldiers get here and get our hands on some mithril!

Yuna then opens the Transfer Gate until Gura asked...

Gura: Where we heading?

Yuna smirks before saying...

Yuna: Just a little experimenting. *Turns back at (Y/N), Gura, and Alphax* You three should get some sleep.

This surprised everyone.

Alphax: Huh? Why not?

(Y/N): Shouldn't we help?

Yuna: *Reassuring* Don't worry, you guys. I'll be back before you know it. And once I'm back, we'll be leaving once the morning rises so we take down that Mithirl Golem for ourselves.

You, Alphax, and Gura looked at each other until Gura spoke up to Yuna.

Gura: Sure, you're the boss.

Alphax: *Nods* Mm.

(Y/N): Just be careful out there.

Yuna: *Smiles* I know.

And just like that, Yuna heads through the Transfer Gate and disappears into the light. Once she was gone, the Transfer Gate disappears, leaving you three inside Yuna's room.

(Y/N): Let's get some early sleeps, we can't fall asleep once Yuna wakes us up early in the morning.

Alphax & Gura: *Nods* Right.

-Time Skip-

The next day, the four of you went to the mines as early as you can before anyone arrives.

You, Gura, Alphax, and Yuna took down the early stages of Golems effortlessly without recklessly going all out so the mines won't collapse.

Right now, the four of you are now encountering the Iron Golems untill Yuna spoke up...

Yuna: Alright, you guys. Let me try this new skill I have performed last night.

Alphax: Show us then.

Yuna: *Smirks* With pleasure.

Yuna then approaches the golem with he right handed bear glove that was engulfed in lightning.

Yuna then aims her lightning magic onto the Iron Golem as she yelled out...

Yuna: Electric Bear Punch, Weak!

Once Yuna does it, the Iron Golem was then killed.

Gura: *In awe* Whoa, that was so cool!

(Y/N): *Curious* How did you do that?

Yuna: *Smirks* In manga and games, the weakness so metal monsters is always the same. I think of an image of mana being changed into electricity going through the body and attacking the mana gem directly.

Alphax: *Nods in approval* That was an effective approach.

(Y/N): But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we've got a Mithril Golem to finish off.

-Back with Fina-

Back to Fina, she was a the front yard of the Foschurose house and is greeted a delicious feast.

Fina: A huge feast?!

Ellalaura: It's nice to have tea in the garden sometimes. I had various things prepared. Eat whatever you like.

Fina: R-Right...

Shia: Oh, and Fina, if the dress gets spilled or anything, we'll just have to replace it. You don't have to worry about any troubles, okay? We're all good friends here.

Fina nodded anxiously despite Shia's reassurance.

Shia: Now then, I'll pour you some juice.

Shia then pours the juice onto the glass cup and hands it to her.
Fina: Thank you very much?

Fina reaches for the glass, but she accidentally lost her grip while trying to take it as the glass cup fell and broke on the ground. Not only the glass broke, the dress was also stained as well.

Elluara: Fina, are you alright?

Shia: Sorry, Fina! Are you alright?

Fina shakes her head as if trying to snap out of her thoughts of being in trouble with nobles.

Fina: I-I'm fine...! I think my anxiety got the best of me...

Fina lets out a deep sigh after she said that while Ellalaura calls out to her maids to clean it up.

-Back to (Y/N)'s group-

Back to the mines, the four of you are busy eliminating the golems on the way

Yuna: There, that should be the last of them.

(Y/N): *Sniffs in the air* I smell the scent of the Mithril Golem.

Gura: *Nods with a serious expression* Yeah, it's here...

And speaking of the devil, the Mithriil Golem eventually arrived. Yuna goes to attack the golem using her Electric Bear Punch skill.

To everyone's surprise, it didn't kill the golem or the magic stone from the inside.

Alphax: Tch, it still didn't work.

Gura: (Y/N), with me!

You nodded with Gura as the two of you summoned out your weapons in attempt to attack the Golem. Your twin sickles and attempt to slice the Mithril Golen, but it was also in effect. Gura does the same as well by thrusting her Trident, but it also didn't work. Alphax joins in as well just by punching it, but it only sends it flying back, and it made the mines tremble.

Alphax: Shit, this thing's durability is damn too high!

(Y/N): If we can't fight in here...

Gura: ...then we have to take it outside!

Yuna: *Smirks* I know what you two are thinking!

Yuna jumps back to regroup you three until she summons out the Transfer Gate skill to lure the Mihtril Golem into Milleela that is far away from the port town itself.

Yuna: I leave the rest to you guys.

(Y/N): *Grins* Thanks, Yuna. *Neck cracking* Let's go all out on this son of a bitch.

All the girls agreed of what you are saying.

Gura: I'll let the water flow!

Gura then controls the water which is the beach. A humongous hand appears and grabs onto the Mithril golem withi a tight grip, not letting it go.

Gura: Alphax! (Y/N)!

You and Alphax began to approach the Mithril Golem that is entangled by the watery humongous hand.

Alphax: Around there, Master?

(Y/N): *Points* Yeah, right there is fine.

Alphax & (Y/N): Here comes the number one...

Both you and Alphax pulled back your fists before saying...

Alphax & (Y/N): Easiest angle to hammer you with our fists!

Both you and Alphax unleash a powerful barrage of punches while yelling out "Ora, Ora, Ora, Ora!" in sync onto the Mithril Golem before sending it flying into the sky upon final punch.

Yuna: *Looks up* Even a Mithril Golem shouldn't be able to fall from that height.

Everyone watched the Mithril Golem falling from the sky as it lands down to the ground due to the strong impact. It was severely damage, but it was still alive, much to everyone's shock.

However, the magic stone was left open due to the crystal body being cracked open from the fall.

Alphax: Yuna, do the honors.

Yuna: Yup. *Approaches the Mithril Golem* Electric Bear Punch!

Yuna casts her lightning magic to destroy the magic stone, finally killing the Mithirl Golem.

Gura: *Sigh of relief* Let's head back home.

Everyone nodded as all of you entered back through the Transfer Gate until Yuna senses something, much to everyone notice.

(Y/N): Hm? What's wrong, Yuna.

Yuna: I sense something.

Yuna kneels down and starts digging until everyone sees two black stone-like balls on the ground.

Gura: What are those?

Yuna: I'll scan it.

Yuna pulls down her hoodie and scans the item, revealing it to be named "Bearmonite"
A sudden them message ringtone notifaction can be heard which was none other than God themselves as it reads...

"Yuna, are you working hard at adventuring? I prepared a present for you today. I forgot to tell you that I'll prepare all sorts of presents for you every once in a while, so try to find them."

Yuna: Is this why the golems kept spawning infinitely?

Gura: *Baffled* Wait, what?

(Y/N): *Bemused* So that could mean that was practically your fault, right?

Yuna: *Sweadrops* Yeah...probably...

-Time Skip until Sunset-

Later, the four of you walked back to the Tavern, feeling a little exhausted after clearing out the golems. However, you were carrying the exhausated Gawr Gura on your back despite your tiredness, but you still have energy left to carry.

Jaden: Where did you guys go off to?

Mel: We were worrid since we noticed you guys weren't in your rooms. Is Gura okay?

(Y/N): Just exhausted. We had a little-

Yuna: *Interrupts you*We took care of the golems. You guys didn't go?

(Y/N): *Mildly-Annoyed* (Goddammit, Yuna...)

Jaden: Yeah, we drank too much with Barbould's party last night.

Mel: I woke up in the afternoon.

Senia: *Raises hand* Me too.

Yuna: Oh, I see. (Y/N), Alphax, you two should take Gura to her room.

(Y/N): *Nods* Sure. Let's go, Alphax.

Both you and Alphax make your way upstairs while carrying the exhausted Gura on the way.

Alphax decided to rest up in her wolf form in your room while you headed straight towards Gawr Gura's room. Upon entering her signature room, you carefully placed her on the bed. As you were about to leave, you looked at Gura's cute sleeping face...

A smile crept on your face because of how cute she is in her sleep until you said to the exhausted Gura...

(Y/N): Rest well, Gura.

You left Gura's room and headed downstairs because you still have energy left before you'd fall out of fatigue, but you then overhear the conversation between Yuna and Jaden's party...

Yuna: Jaden, can you do me a favor?

Jaden: Sure, what is it?

Yuna: We've defeated all the golems, including the mithril one. Can you confirm things tomorrow?

(Y/N): (Wait, I thought Yuna was clearly telling the truth, but the way she said earlier is that we cleared the Golems, not ALL golems. Guses I jumped things quickly...)

Jaden: *Disbelief* Sorry, what did you just say?

Yuna: We've defeated all the golems, including...

Mel: You're joking, right?!

You then decided to step in to back up Yuna's words.

(Y/N): She's not wrong. We actually defeated the golems and the Mithirl Golem. We did an early headstart before you guys did...

Everyone looks at you, clearly baffled as well.

Senia: Wait...you guys really did...?!

(Y/N): *Nods* Yup.

That is when Barbould gets up from his seat and walks up towards you in aggressive manner.

Barbould: Hey! Pets! Don't lie to me! The five of us couldn't take that golem down!

Barbould then grabs your shoulders in a firm grip.

Barbould: You're saying that pets like you took it down!? *Gets close to your face* Don't make me laugh!

(Y/N): *Exasperated* (Okay, I've had enough of this guy.) Then try punching me in the face, would that solve your problems?

Barbould: Fine then!

Barbould then punches your face, but once his fist got on contact with yours, he felt massive pain as if he was hitting a brick wall.

Barbould: Argh! That hurts!

(Y/N): Here's your punishment for calling us "Pets", dickhead.

You then raised your right hand and delivered a powerful karate chop onto Barbould's neck, knocking him out instantly.

Everyone's eyes widen at what just happened until you turned over to the other Bozo Rangers.

(Y/N): If you think making fun of someone's clothing makes you laugh, I suggest you think twice before they show their real strength in action.

You spoke up in a calm, yet threatening tone, which made their Bozo Rangers felt shivers down their spine.

Jaden: Alright, alright, let's all calm down now, you guys. We already get it now.

Jaden says, trying to maintain order in the room.

(Y/N): *Sigh* Sorry for display of the  violence.

Yuna: *Tired* Hey (Y/N), can you carry me back to my room? I'm tired to move.

(Y/N): *Nods* Sure thing.

You then gave Yuna a piggyback ride and take her back upstairs, but not before giving the Bozo Rangers a death glare, and they already understood that you and your friends are not easily to be trifled with.

Mel: My...(Y/N)'s really scary...

Toya: He sure is, hehe...

...
