Ding!

[Congratulations! You have completed the [Special Emergency Quest]: [Save the Hegenemeia Survivors]!]

[Not only have you rescued them from their prison underground, but you've made an excellent elixir capable of healing even their terrible states. After drinking the Elixir twice, Sphynxiette friends are on their way to a healthy and safe recovery. Just please convince them to sleep and take long naps, or they won't be able to recover as quickly!]

[You missed looking at this quest because you were so busy trying to help them, and you can't be blamed for that. Now enjoy your rewards, you earned them for saving and changing the lives of these people!]

[Thanks to you and your family, there is a whole new future for them.]

[You received the following Rewards]: [10.000.000 EXP] [Alchemical Forgemaster Medallion Fragment 3/3 (A+ Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Proficiency Potion (S Grade)] x30 [Sphynxiette's Skill Scroll (S Grade)] x1 [System Made Item Coupon (A Grade)] x3 [Hegenemeia Otherworldly Golden Essence Elixir (S Grade)] x5]

A Quest Completion window popped up right in front of me as if it were a normal thing. I remember suffering and wishing new quests popped up all the time before, but now they appear easily and out of nowhere! Well, this one… I can see why though. Saving these people is probably changing fate a lot.

Especially when you consider these people are from another world, victims of a war more ancient than our world's history, perhaps.

So anyways, I got the third fragment for my Subclass Rank Up, and even got a ton of skill proficiency potions, system made item coupons and lastly, a skill scroll of Sphynxiette?!

What?! Is that even a thing? What can I even get out of someone that's not even from our world? I bet some amazing skill! I can't wait to use it, but I can't right here in front of everyone.

Lastly, there's also this weird Elixir that came out… The "Hegenemeia Otherworldly Golden Essence Elixir", I think it might be similar to the other Spirit Elixirs I got before.

Where the Quest System extracts leftover essence and energy left from living beings and transforms it into a consumable potion to help my growth.

It is a bit creepy when you think about it, because it could be said to be made out of the life force of Sphynxiette and her friends… And it suddenly feels a bit disgusting to drink it.

Hmm, but maybe I shouldn't overthink it.

Well, I'll do it later.

"Sorry about the Quest out of nowhere, Sylphy." Alice spoke to me through her usual telepathy. "It happened when you were really busy with your mother and everyone else… So it was kind of sitting there for a while, but congrats nonetheless! You completed it."

"I guess! I got a bunch of amazing rewards. I want to consume everything now…" I sighed. "But I need some time alone for that. I guess I'll go to the bathroom as an excuse and get it down."

I left that thought for later as I dedicated myself to devour the fruit tart mom had made for breakfast. It included a really delicious set of colorful and fresh fruits, mango, strawberry, melon, and so on. It was so good I couldn't stop eating. And the milky cream right below the fruits only made it even more pleasurable to devour.

"Oooh, this is too good mom, I love this…" I continued eating without even thinking about anything else.

"Hahaha, I'm glad you liked it! It has been a while since I've prepared fruit tarts before. I wish you guys could taste them!" My mother sighed, looking at Sphynxiette and her people.

"It does looks very colorful, but after I tried eating that soft food, I think it's all poison…" Laughed Sphynxiette. "Seriously, I've never had such a strong stomachache before…"

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I forced you to eat that…" I apologized.

"Oh no! It's fine, you only did it because you wanted to help out!" Laughed Sphynxiette. "All is forgiven little Sylphy."

"She's way too nice, isn't she?" Aquarina laughed a bit.

"Sphynxiette… nice…"

"She's… admirable…"

"Strong… leader… good with children…"

The trio of Hegenemeia were admiring Sphynxiette in silence while speaking with a low tone of voice. They still looked very exhausted and sickly. But they were very hesitant to rest again. Maybe they were wary of us? Or maybe they felt like it would be shameless to ask us to wait for them to fully recover. Whatever was the case, I told mom about it.

"Yes I know, you three will have to rest for another day if possible." She told them directly. "I know you feel better after the Elixirs and everything, but that doesn't mean you have to waste my daughter's efforts like this! Your condition could come back at any moment. To properly digest the elixir, you need to REST. So, Sphynxiette. Please tell them to lay down and rest. For the rest of the day. No moving, no talking, no nothing."

"A-Ah! Yes, yes, okay. I get it!" Sphynxiette panicked a bit after seeing my mother's serious face. Yeah, you can't really argue with mom when she makes her serious face!

"Sorry…"

"We will… rest."

"Sorry… so sorry."

They apologized before laying low and closing their eyes. Seconds later, they immediately fell asleep. They were tired! Why were they pretending to be strong and fine this whole time? These people are really resilient, is it within their doctrine to act tough even when they're dying?

"They fell asleep right away! Huh, they were just pretending to be alright!" Nepheline laughed. "Sphynxiette you guys are a bit too much, in this world, it's wrong to pretend to be alright all the time. If you're tired and in pain, just speak about it and rest."

"I… I will also rest a bit. I feel quite sleepy." Sphynxiette nodded. "Thank you for all, and… Well, I'm sorry for being a burden. You could also move on and leave us here. We'll figure things out on our own."

"By the Ancient Spirits, girl, were the words that Nepheline spoke even went through your thick skull? We'll wait for your recovery. We don't mind!" Ninhursag reprimanded her back.

"Sorry, sorry! I'll rest, I'll rest!"

Like that, the four golden giants rested above the sand peacefully basking in the sunlight.
