The Moe Café get jobs

The ten made their way to all the other cities. And since there were ten of them and ten cities left, they decided to split up.

"Let's see who can save their city first." Said Nux.

"First one to get back to Melody gets to be the leader of us adventurers." Said Animak.

"Deal." Said the others.

And so they all split up and each flew in the directions of their respective cities. And sure enough, there was an army of monsters there as well. But things were different here. The monster armies weren't as big as the one in Osval.

"Must be because that was the capital." Thought Recon to himself as he prepared to attack.

Each city had quite a lot of soldiers and adventurers defending them. But even with all the God Levels there, it was hard to defeat all those monsters.

"Something seems off." Said a light spirit that was with Johnny.

"What is it?" Asked Johnny.

"I can't really say. But the one thing I can say for sure is that the God Levels shouldn't have had that much trouble with all these monsters." Said the light spirit.

"I see. Let's think about that later. We have to end this." Said Johnny as he started gathering fire magic in his right arm.

The ten heroes each got to the cities they were heading to and started taking out the monster armies. The moment they began attacking, the other soldiers and adventurers stopped fighting and just stared in shock at the amount of power each of the ten were displaying. The battles didn't last long due to the support the crew were getting from the spirits. Soon enough, all the monsters were wiped out. The people of each city cheered and thanked the heroes for saving them. After waving back at them, the ten raced back towards Osval to where Melody was.

"Look! Up ahead!" Shouted a soldier as he pointed towards the horizon.

"It's them." Said another.

Melody turned to look where the soldier was pointing at and saw the ten fly back at unbelievable speeds. Because of how fast they were flying, a huge cloud of dust formed as they landed next to Melody.

"So who won?" Asked Evan.

"Of course I won." Said Hirito.

"No way. I was two seconds faster." Said SOS.

"Let's just ask Melody." Said Tekking.

"Yeah Melody. Who got here first?" Asked Dono.

"H-Huh?! O-Oh. A-Animak got here first." Said Melody who was still in shock.

"Yeah!!!" Shouted Animak, punching the air.

"Ahhh!" Said the others.

"Dammit! I was so close." Said Nux.

"Too bad guys. It would seem that I'm the fastest one here." Said Animak.

"Oh shut up." Said Recon, jumping on Animak, followed by the rest.

"Wait. What were you guys racing for?" Asked Melody.

Animak pushed everyone off of him and went to face Melody.

"The winner, would have the great opportunity to ask for your hand in marriage." Said Animak as he got on one knee. "Lady Melody, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Asked Animak as he took her hand.

"W-What?! I-I d-don't know w-what to s-say." Said Melody blushing and looking a bit flustered.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!!!" Said Nux, Hirito and Evan as they jumped on Animak and started to brawl.

"Ignore them. We raced to see who will end up becoming the leader of our crew." Said Briggs.

"Oh. I see." Said Melody who was still blushing.

"Wait a second. Melody, why were you blushing just now? Given that you are a succubus, aren't you supposed to be used to these sort of things?" Asked Dono.

"Well yeah, but nobody's asked my hand in marriage before." Said Melody in a super cute voice as she blushed even more, causing everyone to get a nosebleed.

"I-I see." Said Briggs as he wiped away the blood.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we're running out of time." Said an earth spirit.

"Time? What do you mean?" Asked SOS.

"We're almost out of magic." Said a dark spirit.

"Which means we can't keep this transformation up for long." Said a water spirit.

"Right. Everyone, we need to get back right now." Said Nux who was already up in the air.

"Hey. I'm supposed to be the leader." Said Animak as he followed Nux.

"Melody, we'll see you back at the mansion." Said Tekking, as he and the others flew away.

Melody just looked up at them as they flew away and smiled.

"Hmm. Things are about to get interesting." Said Melody.

"Hey Melody. You know those people?" Asked an adventurer.

"Oh! Um…yeah. You could say that."

"Wow. Who are they?!" Asked another.

"They're the ones who saved Exforia today." Said Melody as she took off after them.

As Melody flew away, a certain God Level stood there and smiled.

"They're stronger than I thought. Not as strong as Serbus though." Said the man. "I better report to Lord Verkonis immediately." Said the man as he opened up a portal and went through it.

"Quick! We don't have much time left." Said a wind spirit.

"There it is. I can see the mansion." Said Hirito.

"I'm almost out." Said a fire spirit.

"Just a little longer." Said Recon.

Due to their amount of magic going down, they couldn't fly as fast as before. But they managed to make it back in time.

"We made it." Said Tekking as he landed and fell on his back, followed by the others.

"Ah, I'm out!" Said a light spirit.

"Me too." Said an earth spirit.

One by one, the ten transformed back into their female forms.

"Huh. Just in time." Sighed Nux with relief.

"Back…to having…melons on…my chest." Said Evan as he lay on his back and breathing heavily.

"Are you guys okay?" Asked Katie, running towards the ten, followed by the others.

"Oh. It's you guys." Said Briggs. "We're good. Just tired."

"How were things on your end?" Asked Hirito.

"Everything went smoothly. There wasn't much for us to do." Said Noble.

"Yeah. There were quite a lot of soldiers and adventurers out there helping everyone evacuate." Said Connor.

"But they welcomed out help anyway." Said Joey.

"We even saved Fantasia from being destroyed." Said Steve.

"Yeah. There was a flash of light in the sky where you guys went and then there was a huge explosion that cracked the ground under Fantasia." Said Mental Quorum.

"Connor, John, Katie, Noble, Poxal and Hiding used their earth magic and fixed the ground around it." Said Spooky.

"Wow. Great job guys." Said Tekking.

"By the way, what was that explosion?" Asked Chibi.

"Yeah, what happened over there?" Asked Gaby.

"Then ten then narrated everything that went down since the crew split up. By the time the ten had finished their story, the others were just standing there with their mouths open from shock.

"That's amazing!" Said Jack.

"Man, I wish I could've seen it." Said Libellus.

"So wait. Animak is really the leader?" Asked Rustage.

"He he. That's right." Said Animak, looking all smug.

"Hey! Are you guys alright?!" Called Melody as she flew towards the crew.

"Melody! You're alright." Said the John.

"Yeah. Thanks to them." Said Melody as she smiled at the ten.

"Ah it was nothing." Said Evan, blushing a bit.

"Let's go inside. You guys need to tell me everything that happened after I left." Said Melody as she led the way into the house.

Inside, they were greeted by Melody's maids. They all went to set the table for dinner. After dinner, they all explained what happened.

"I can't believe it. All of this is too much to take in." Said Melody.

"Yeah. We know. We were surprised too." Said Poxal.

"A spirit transformation. Who could have imagined that such a thing could exist?" Said Melody. "By the way, you mentioned something about Serbus. Is he really still alive?"

"Yes he is." Said a fire spirit, appearing next to Nux.

"I…I can see it. I can see the spirit!" Said Melody in shock.

"Yeah. Thanks to the ten of us, you guys are able to see them now." Said Dono.

"Anyway, you guys said that you were gonna explain what you meant by Serbus still being alive." Said Briggs.

"Yes. Well as you all know, Serbus has three spirits with him." Said a water spirit.

"And all spirits have a connection." Said a wind spirit.

"We can feel when a spirit dies." Said a light spirit.

"But the spirits that were with Serbus are still alive." Said an earth spirit.

"Meaning that Serbus is still alive." Said Melody.

"Yes, but not for long." Said a fire spirit.

"What do you mean?" Asked Connor.

"The magic of those spirits is slowly depleting." Said a fire spirit.

"Just like how the ten of you formed contracts with us, Serbus formed contracts with the three spirits." Said a wind spirit.

"And since a connection is formed between our magic and yours, it's obvious that Serbus has that same connection." Said a dark spirit.

"What we're saying is that as we speak, someone is sucking out Serbus' magic." Said water spirit.

"WHAT?!!!" Said everyone in shock.

"Could it be that Serbus didn't defeat the Demon Lord?" Asked Steve.

"Impossible. I was there. I saw it happen." Said Melody.

"Are you sure?" Asked John.

"What do you mean?" Asked Melody.

"You said that Serbus cut the dimension in half and took the Demon Lord with him." Said John.

"Yes. That's what happened." Said Melody.

"But that's all that happened. All you saw was him taking the Demon Lord with him to another dimension. But you didn't see what happened in there. So which means it's possible that Serbus might have exhausted all his magic in that last attack. Which would have given the Demon Lord a chance to strike. And given the fact that the spirits are losing their magic, it would mean one thing." Said John. "That the Demon Lord is sucking out Serbus' magic and life force."

"That would explain why the spirits are losing their magic." Said Joey.

"It can't be. Serbus…lost?" Said Melody.

"Melody, is there a chance we could find out something about the spell Serbus used in the library?" Asked Jordan.

"Yes. You can find information on every spell in existence in the library." Said Melody.

"Alright then. Tomorrow, we go and get ourselves some jobs." Said Noble.

"Alright. We better go get some sleep then." Said Poxal.

"Yeah. I'm exhausted." Said Nux, yawning.

"Don't worry Melody. Everything will be just fine." Said Gaby as she patted Melody on the back.

"Yeah. You're right." Said Melody as she stood up and smiled.

"That's the spirit. Come on. You should go get some sleep too." Said Katie.

The next day, crew made their way to the town hall in order to get their jobs registered.

"By the way, you ten better keep your real identities a secret. You know, your spirit forms." Said Melody.

"Well you see, you've become rather famous across Exforia. How would you think everyone would react if they knew that their heroes were right here, walking around in broad daylight?"

"Hmmm. That's true." Said Briggs.

"I could get a harem." Said Hirito.

"You're right. A harem made of nothing but milfs." Said Animak.

"Cat girls." Said Evan.

"Ignore those three. Don't worry about it. We won't say a word." Said Dono.

"Great. Anyway, let's get you guys registered." Said Melody, leading the way to the town hall.

Once inside, they got their jobs registered and written on the back of their IDs.

"By the way Melody, how many point s do we need to get to go to the next class?" Asked Chibi.

"Look over there. It's all written on that noticeboard." Said Melody, pointing them to a noticeboard on one of the Town Hall's walls. They all went towards it. This is what was written on it:

"CLASS UP AND LEVEL UP INFORMATION.

"Wow. Those are some pretty high requirements to improve class and level." Said Rustage.

"That's for sure. And in order to do that, we better get to work." Said Briggs.

"Alright everyone. Now that you all have your respective jobs, then you better get to them. Just follow whatever instructions they're going to give you and you'll be fine." Said Melody.

"Alright then. Good luck guys." Said SOS, as he and his crew began making their way out.

"Wait a minute. You can't be going to the Guild dressed like that. You'll be needing some gear." Said Melody as she went after them.

"Oh yeah. You're right." Said Evan as he looked at his skirt.

"Here. Take this and go get yourselves some awesome gear." Said Melody as she handed them a bag full of gold coins. "That's five hundred thousand vir. With it, you'll be able to get something good."

"But, Melody, this is too much!" Said Hirito.

"No buts. No get going already."

Everyone split up and went their separate ways to get to their various jobs. Gaby, Chibi, Katie, Libellus and Mental Quorum went to the restaurant that Melody recommended and started working as waiters. Connor, Steve, Joey and Rustage went to Fantasia and we're welcomed with open arms by Chiika and Ouji. John, Noble, Jordan and Poxal went to the city library and were assigned the task of arranging the shipment of new books that just came in. Jack, Spooky and Hiding stayed at the Town Hall and were sent to the back where they were tasked with sorting out files. As for the ten adventurers, they went to get themselves some nice gear and then made their way to the Guild.

"So this is the Guild, huh?" Said Recon.

"It sure looks like it." Said Dono.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get in already." Said Tekking as he opened the doors.

The ten made their way in. Everyone turned and looked at them.

"I think they're staring at us." Said Hirito as we whispered to Nux.

"No. You think?" Said Nux.

"Let's go meet the Guild master." Said Briggs as he made his way to the counter.

At a table in the corner, three people sat there and smiled.

"So those are the girls that came in town with Melody, huh?" Said one.

"Yup. That's them alright." Said the other.

"Well, well, well. Things are about to get interesting." Said the other.
