Flint, Aku and Chuck spend the night at Aella's mansion, it's a pretty big mansion. Blue with garden, gates and mansion stuff. Anyway, the trio gathered in a hall in Aella's mansion with her present. They're discussing what to do next.
Flint starts the discussion, "Teacher said to go west from Avua, from her tone it seems she wouldn't be joining us."
Chuck is sitting beside Aella as he turns to Flint, "Why's that?"
Aku is sitting beside Flint and waves a letter before them, "Twenny gave me this and said to read it later. I did and it seems she has something to do so she'll be gone for a while."
Chuck is curious, "Did she say anything about what or why she's leaving?"
Aku shakes her head, "She just gave me this short letter and left. I didn't notice anything strange about her so I think it's nothing for us to worry about."
Flint nods, "Yes, we should already know that it was a coincidence she came to Avua. She said she was here for a purpose but chose to be with us until it was time. I'm grateful for how far she brought us but…..it won't be the same without her. *Sighs*"
Aku turns to Aella, "Twenny did say to level up, since it's from her I think we should at least reach a high level just to be safe. With that said, we're heading back to Avua and the dungeon Twenny directed us to. Will you come with us?"
Aella is surprised she's being asked this question, Aku continues. "I know you're a duchess with an entire territory to take ca- "
Aella cuts in, "I'll join." This surprised everyone, she continues. "I am a duchess but it doesn't mean I'm stuck with responsibilities. I can leave everything to my butler as I always have and join you. If a serious issue arrives he can send it to me through the magic mail."
The trio is confused, Chuck asks, "Magic mail?"
Aella smiles, "It's a form of delivery where items are given to couriers capable of finding anyone anywhere. There are instances of them aiding in search and rescue missions and they excel at them. If an issue arises my butler will send a mail and I can return anytime, so don't worry."
Flint is impressed, "Well, I guess that solves that problem."
Aku turns to Flint, "So when do we leave?"
Flint stares at his fist, "I want to grow so strong that the next time I see Teacher, I'll force her to spill everything."
Chuck laughs, "Hahahaha, that's a reason I can live by." He gives a thumbs up and Flint does same. "Let's leave soon." Chuck rises to his feet as the rest stand up.
Aella leads them out of the mansion, "Let's take my carriage, it's faster."
Chuck scratches his head, "Isn't it the same one we took to the capital?"
Aella giggles, "No, that's count Frishia's carriage. Count Frishia is in the capital while lord Razzle, his first son manages the territory."
Flint finds it odd, "Any particular reason?"
Aella answers, "His father serves in the court so he barely has time for his territory, that's why Razzle manages everything there. He has been doing a good job since his debut, he's a hard worker." She looks at Flint, "So do try to get along."
Flint folds his arms as he looks away, Aku giggles. They exit the mansion as they board the carriage, leaving as soon as possible to Avua.
......….
Meanwhile, in a place unknow surrounded by the ocean. Twenny floats over the sea, she's looking around as if searching for something. "I'm certain the scum came here." She keeps looking but finds nothing. "Whatever, I've got more important things to deal with."
A screen appears before Twenny as she goes to her agent's side, she starts to make a message for Flint though he's still unaware that some of his missions were from Twenny.
Twenny's message is not being sent to Flint but to the root system Arrmitsha, she starts. "Arrmitsha, I've thought the basics to my agent or whatever I could. I'll be moving across the realms from now on so I'll be leaving him in your care." Twenny flies around searching for something else.
Twenny finally finds what she's looking for, "Ah, found ya. A portal, it's a good thing only me and Sers know where portals are located. It's cause a lot of trouble if it's location was leaked." Before Twenny is nothing but just the ocean and sky. Twenny stretches her hand forward as it seems to enter a ripple in the space before her.
Twenny looks back at the ocean one more time, "Guess I really couldn't find the invader. Sers is around so he'll notify me if things escalate." She turns and enters the portal, wherever she's going, no one knows.
..........
Back to the new quartet, they're only a day's journey from Avua. This carriage is indeed faster as the horses seem to be able to use energy/magic so they're faster than normal. It's night as they're asleep in the carriage, Flint suddenly wakes up.

Flint is amazed, his thoughts. "Can I add everyone to it, even my family?"
[Done. Family and Friends with Information magic have been added to the Community platform.]
[I suggest you educate those not included in the community group on Information magic, so they can acquire it and join.]
Flint is surprised to see Licia here, though she's asleep she's shown on the map. He keeps looking through the list of 5, "Wait, I don't see Twenny here. Why's that?"
[Entity ID: Twenny Alcore….. User's Information magic is too low link Entity Twenny to the community.]
"Oh is that so. Thanks anyway." Flint looks at the sky through the window as his friends sleep. "First thing I do when I go back is to help mum and dad get information magic. I'll tell these guys the good news tomorrow morning, maybe we can shop for something good."
Then it dawns on him, "Wait, System, you said all my friends and family with information magic have been added right?"
[Indeed, that is the case.]
Flint turns to Aella, "Then what about her? Is it okay to trust her with this?"
[System DC did advise user to keep silent on the package's presence due to user's weakness. Currently, user has enough strength to protect himself.]
"Oh…that's nice." Flint looks back outside, "I'm strong huh."
[Don't get complacent, there're still entities like Balphar at large.]
Flint gives a wry smile, "I just wanted to enjoy the sense of power. It's nice being able to talk to you." Flint closes the window as he dozes off.
