After getting ready, Emma quickly grabbed her staff and left the room to see Aether and Amber smiling at her. Emma felt some sort of tension in the air, but decided to ignore it. The four left the Cathedral and decided to head towards Good Hunter.

"Hey Emma, how's your head?" Aether asked. Emma placed a hand on her head before smiling at Aether. "Well, it's feeling a bit better, I still feel a bit nauseous," Emma replied before feeling a slight tug on her sleeve, Emma looked to see Amber with innocent puppy eyes. "I bet it was painful, I'm glad that you're alright." Amber chimed as she hugged Emma's side, The healer cried in surprise by the sudden gesture, but decided to hug Amber back. Unbeknownst to her, Amber gave Aether a smirk as the blonde glared at the brunette.

"Anyways, we should keep going!" Emma spoke out as she broke out from the hug before grabbing her two friends and running off.

"Oh! Hello, Amber, Emma and Honorary Knight, what can I get you?" The women asked, "Hello Sara! One Sticky Honey Roast, please!" Amber replied as Sara nodded before looking at Aether and Emma. "And what about you two?" Sara asked, "Can I have 3 Chicken-Mushroom Skewers?" Emma replied, "Same here." Aether also replied. Sara nodded with a smile before getting the order ready.

"Let's sit down." Amber suggested as she grabbed Emma's hand and dragged her to an empty table while Paimon and Aether tag along. "So, anyways! Emma I realize we don't know each other much, so let's talk about our hobbies!" Amber said as the three sat near the table while Paimon floated. "My hobbies? Hm.." Emma said before thinking, "Oh! Well I love to take care of kids!" Emma replied as Amber's smile grew bigger. "How so?" Aether asked as the mention of kids caught his interest. "Well, since I don't have a job, I usually babysit kids from time to time." Emma explained as she smiled.

"Wow, must be tough." Amber replied as she laid back on her chair. "Hehe, surprisingly it's quite easy." Emma sheepishly smiled, Amber raised a brow in confusion. "How so?" Amber asked. "Well surprisingly, kids are really well behaved whenever I'm around, I don't really know why, but it happens." Emma answered as Sara came in with the orders.

"Thank you Sara." Amber smiled as Sara smiled back before getting the Mora that Amber gave. "Oh Emma! I have a question." Paimon chimed in as Emma looked at the pixie with curiosity. "Do you happen by chance have a tattoo?" Paimon asked as Aether flinched in realization. "Uuhhh... why do you ask?" Emma asked as she awkwardly smiled at Paimon, "Well, we accidentally-" "We're just curious, cause we always see you wearing your cape!" Aether quickly covered Paimon's mouth as he sheepishly smiled.

Amber watched as she was suspicious of Aether's behavior and Paimon's question, but decided not to intervene just yet. "Oh! Well I can't really tell you..." Emma sadly smiled as Paimon escaped from Aether's grasp. "But why? Is it a secret or something?" Paimon asked as Emma sighed. "I don't really know myself, but I was told to never tell anyone..." Emma munched on her Chicken-Mushroom Skewers. The three watched as they were curious and confused at the same time.

"If she does have a tattoo, then why isn't she allowed to talk about it?" Paimon thought but decided to not push Emma any further and continued to eat.

"Ahh~ I'm stuffed!" Paimon sighed as the group were finally done eating. "Hehe, yep, thank you Amber." Emma smiled as Amber blushed, "N-no problem Emma." Amber replied bashfully as Aether glared at the Outrider. "Excuse me, Honorary Knight and Miss Emma." A voice called out as the group looked to see one Knight of Favonius. "Pardon me for intruding, but the Acting Grand Master wants to see you two in her office." The knight explained as Aether stood up from his seat, "Okay, we'll be there." Aether replied as the blonde looked at Emma.

"Uhm...I guess I'll go as well." Emma said as she also stood up from her seat, "I'm sorry Amber..." Emma whispered as she sadly smiled at Amber who was trying her best to not punch Aether. "No, it's fine, besides I probably have other tasks to do," Amber reassured as Emma nodded before leaving with Aether and Paimon.

"Hello Grandmaster Jean and Lisa!" Emma greeted as the three entered the office, "Oh, why hello Cutie, looks like you're doing well today~" Lisa greeted back as Emma nodded. "Hello Emma and Honorary Knight," Jean said. "Let's cut to the chase. Aether, you told me that you have some sort of crystal, am I correct?" Jean asked as Aether nodded before pulling out the teardrop crystal.

"Oh! That's the crystal from Dvalin!" Emma thought as she stared at the crystal. Jean inspected the crystal for a moment. "It's a crystal embedded with some kind of power... Lisa, are you able to analyze it?" Jean looked at Lisa, "Let me take a look..." Lisa replied as she started to analyze the crystal. "Hmm... I can see impurities in the crystal, but upon further inspection..." Lisa explained before sadly looking at Jean, "No, I'm sorry Jean, I can't make a proper analysis at the moment, give me sometime, I'll take a look through the library's restricted section." Lisa continued.

"Right, I'll leave the research to you then, Lisa." Jean said. "Understood, I'll notify you all if I can make any progress." Lisa replied before looking at the three. "Though I wouldn't go getting your hopes up, they are incredibly ancient texts, not to mentio-" Lisa continued before suddenly yelping in pain. "Lisa! Are you okay?" Emma panicked as Lisa backed away from the crystal, "The impurities in the crystal...it hurts when I get close..." Lisa said before sighing in realization. "I see... it appears to react to visions." Lisa said, "The impurities and the elemental energy we embody repel each other." Lisa explained.

"It's strange though, Aether has elemental abilities as well, but doesn't seem to be affected in the same way," Lisa continued as Emma was quite curious about the explanation. "What if..." Emma mumbled as she extended her hand towards the crystal. "Emma! No!" Aether yelled as he tried to pull Emma away. But It was too late as Emma's hand was now on the crystal.

Few moments had passed and there was no reaction from the crystal. Emma smiled as she fondled the crystal in her hand. "How?" Paimon muttered as Emma looked at the pixie with confusion. "H-how are you able to hold it! Doesn't it affect people with visions?" Paimon asked as everyone stared at the girl who was taken back in surprised.

After a few seconds Emma broke into a fit of laughter as everyone was taken back in surprise. "W-why are laughing?" Paimon asked as she was a bit terrified by Emma's reaction. "Hehe, sorry, it's just that it's quite hilarious to me." Emma apologized as she smiled at Paimon. "Why Is it funny?" Aether asked as Emma giggled before looking Aether straight in the eye.

"I don't have a Vision."
