“I haven’t drunk and bathed in mana water for a while. I’m thankful, though, that the effect of the water didn’t seem to fade over time. My hair remained luxurious and my skin remained fair and flawless,” Anna said softly while looking at her arms.
“Are you sure? Your hair and skin could be because of your youth,” Anton scoffed at his sister, and Anna threw one of the chair pillows at her brother.
“Your teacher and your classmates still hadn’t arrived yet,” Anton said.
“They’re giving us time to talk since we haven’t seen each other for a while,” Anna replied.
“I see. Thank your teacher and your classmates for being considerate. So, how is school? Is your rank progressing quickly?”
“I’m still at the same rank. It’s unquestionable that your magic is the best when it comes to allowing me and our father to progress our wizardly rank, but as you know, increasing the rank is just a small part of being a wizard. Knowledge is extremely important as well, and I’m acquiring a lot of knowledge in the academy. My teacher did ask me why I progressed fast in my wizardly rank while traveling. I told her of our circumstances, but I didn’t share any information about your spell that allowed Father and me to progress faster than normal. I remembered that wicked Invincible Wizard who targeted you because of that information, and I don’t want that to happen again.”
“You did tell them about the movies and the fact that it came from my ability to peer into another dimension,” Anton said to his sister.
“You did tell me that something like the movies, which wouldn’t increase a wizard’s strength, wouldn’t be considered as something important by the wizards, and I did research extensively regarding portals. Based on my shallow findings, the wizards in our world still hadn’t completely grasped portals and teleportation within our world completely, so teleporting into another dimension is just a pipe dream for them. Not only that, windows to another world are not extremely rare. Powerful wizards also had those capabilities, and if they could research portals by using those windows, then portals and teleportation would have been normal by now,” Anna explained patiently.
“That’s a confirmation that gives me comfort. We can now watch movies without worrying that some powerful wizard would attempt to kidnap me to learn my secrets because of them. More than likely, though, we will not enter the cinema business anymore, and movie watching will probably remain in the family. Father would probably be busy with his mercenary group. I did tell you about that in the letters that Father formed a mercenary group.”
“It’s a pity, though. The movies are truly beautiful and could really enrich the culture of a country because it would inspire a lot of artists to do the same thing and I’m thinking that with the use of magic, our progress regarding movies and animation would have been easier compared to the people from that dimension where they came from, since they didn’t have magic to help them.”
“We can revisit that idea once we’ve achieved our goal of becoming powerful enough that the undead wouldn’t threaten us anymore. In my imagination, in the future once that cruel undead organization is settled, we can spread the movies to the world and then our people would create their own movies, animations, and television shows and then a powerful wizard would finally learned how to open a portal to the dimension where the movies came from and a massive cultural exchange will happen,” Anton said with a dreamlike expression.
“I actually have the same dream!” Anna said with a surprised face, and both of them started laughing.
“So, how are you, really?” Anton asked after they finished laughing, and they returned to talking about serious stuff. Anna appeared to understand what Anton was talking about.
If he was being honest, Anton was a little sad about how mature Anna was behaving. Because of the circumstances that happened to them, the two of them had to grow up and mature fast.
“During the first few nights, I finally allowed myself to grieve after I talked to teacher Munetta. She helped me a lot, and we talked about what happened to our family while we were traveling here. I think that once I allowed myself to truly grieve, it started my healing. After that, I finally accepted Avina, Normumu, and Alathea as friends. They tried to befriend me, but I acted cold towards them at first. They kept being friendly, though especially when the teacher told them about my experience in the ocean.”
“Well, I’m happy for you. I started healing as well, and I returned to watching movies and television shows. Not only that, I also started delving into the dungeons here in the kingdom. It’s very lucrative. If I’m not challenging myself with the deeper floors in the Corridors of Amuneta dungeon, which was the 60th floor and below, I delved into the upper floors. The 30th floor of the high-level dungeon allowed me to rest inside a comfortable small tent that I perched on top of my Dire Bear while my summons killed all the dungeon monsters. After a day, the activity allowed me to earn around 60,000 to 70,000 gold coins. That’s how I earned the gold coins to buy this manor. Let me show you something else,” Anton said, then he stood up and asked his sister to follow him.
Since Anna told him that her teacher and her classmates would give them the time to talk, Anton thought that the two of them would be able to go into the treasure room without anyone bothering them.
“I miss watching movies and television shows. Let’s watch a movie tonight. When is Father arriving?” Anna asked while they were walking.
“Father will arrive either tomorrow or the day after. I already prepared a movie for us to watch tonight. I will not tell you anything about it since I want it to be a surprise. I did invite three little elven girls and their elder sister to join us. Is that okay?”
“That’s fine. Where did you meet them?”
“Ms. Elianah was my point of contact from the Adventurers Guild when I was delving the medium level dungeon, Balathar dungeon, and one of the elven girls is her younger sister. The other two are friends of Elianah’s sister. After I had settled the purchase of the manor, we watched a film, and I invited Elianah and the person who sold me the manor. Elianah brought her sister, and the sales agent brought his family. You know the allure of the movies, so after that, I received a letter from Elianah’s sister regarding watching another film, so we did watch The Little Mermaid and Laloniah, that’s Elianah’s sister’s name, bought her two friends. Then I told them that the next movie will be a while, which will be when you and father arrive.”
“I understand. If it’s me who has seen The Little Mermaid, the desire to watch another movie will make me not hesitate to write to you to ask for another movie to watch. I’m surprised that the sales agent family didn’t do the same.”
“He did, and I promised them that I’ll invite them to watch another film as well, but I would probably do so another time. I want to keep the movie watching for family and friends for now.”
“Then let’s watch a movie when Father arrives. I want to watch the new movie with him,” Anna said, then they finally reached the entrance to the treasure room.
