Karol: Hello, everyone. I am writing a YuriXEstelle fiction for the Banger Universe Love Sanctuary. It's a sequel to Rita's KarolXRita fiction called Confusion Hits. I know it's the second one in there but you got to realize that this is the First YuriXEstelle in there so I got to be specific on which of Rita's Entries I mean. I bet Later on Rita will submit more entries. This fiction has KarolXRita in it. This fiction is called 6th Fortune's Banquet.
Rita: So you're making the sequel happen during the Sixth Fortune's Banquet since we united the people during our Adventure that destroyed the Blastia.
Karol: Yep. Introducing my first guest, Yuri Lowell.
Yuri: Hello everyone. (Sarcastically) It's great to be here. Really it is.
Karol: You could be a little more excited, Yuri. Introducing my second guest, Estellise Sidos Heurassein AKA Estelle.
Estelle: Hello, Everyone. I am going to enjoy this. This is during the 5th year after the Blastia adventure so we got to be excited since, in the Banger Universe, we're only 3 years after that.
Rita: You know what, Estelle? That's true.
Yuri: (Excited) Okay, that makes me a lot more excited. Who is going to enter the Banquet this time?
Karol: Well, Rita and I have discussed who has entered and These 5 have entered: Yuri, Me, Judith, Rita, and Raven. That only leaves one person left of our group to enter the competition. Who is that?
Estelle: You mean I am going to enter?
Yuri: That seems great, I guess.
Rita: we have also decided that everyone of our group who has entered so far won it.
Estelle: I got to keep it going for our group's winning streak. What happens if I do win it for our group?
Rita: Karol has come up with that but Won't tell me.
Karol: It's going to be revealed by the story. Introducing my third and final guest and the one who gave me this quest, David the Writer AKA DtW.
David the Writer: Yeah, I am really going to expect something big for the group if Estelle wins.
Karol: Don't worry, DtW. You will get what you are expecting. (Chuckles)
Yuri: (Really Excited) Okay because of that chuckle, I am really excited. So much that I am doing the disclaimer. All TOV Characters (C) Namco Tales. Hope I'm right with this. Lucifer and Robert tAll3Shyguy of Banger-Universe-Devs on DA or tAll3Shyguy Skull Land on Fan-fiction.
Karol: Thank you for the Disclaimer, Yuri. (Thinking) I knew something like that will get Yuri excited. Just didn't know it would be that much. (Says) Background song is Heaven by Your side by Azn Dreamers. Now on with the Story.
6th Fortune's Banquet
Karol looks behind the guild members of Brave Vesperia. Raven, before Karol went to Rita to confuse her, joined Brave Vesperia to be with Judith and the ones who decided when he is allowed to die. Today is the Day of The Fortune's Banquet. this is the 6th one but I bet you know that since Karol and Rita are 5 years older. This Year, the last member of the original group of Terca-Lumeniris heroes will enter the competition. It turned out that, before a certain time, Fortune's banquet had happened before. Each time it's brought back, it will start over. This time through, the first group that entered is the closest to getting all of it's members to win it. The original Terca-Lumeniris Heroes just had one person left and that person is Estelle. Estelle is the weakest cook of them all. Before she met Yuri and went into Quoi Woods with him, She had never cooked before. Now it is up to the one who is the beginner cook at the start of their journey to win it for them. Yuri was their best so he won it first. Then Karol won it because he was the leader of the Brave Vesperia guild. After that, Judith won it because she was the last Brave Vesperia member during that time. After that, Rita won it because she wanted to enter to test out her new view of cooking. The previous one had joined the guild last year right before the event, Raven who won it as well. Now only Estelle remained of their human participants. Something is awarded if they won this challenge. Nobody knew what it was because no one had ever won it before. Miss Kaufman was the only one who knew because her family passed it down through the generations.
The Contestant accepter looks at the group and sees that now Estelle and Rita are with them. He asks them "Who is your final participant, Terca-Lumeniris Heroes?"
Karol says "Estellise Sidos Heurassein Also known as Estelle, she is the princess of the empire and our group's Empire Representative so it should be interesting since a princess shouldn't know how to cook."
The contestant accepter says "Alright, you may take your seats. This year, Karol isn't going to be your representative. We got a special one who isn't part of your group but knows it well."
Everyone is surprised. When they walk in and look down at the seats, they are even more surprised to see that pretty much the entire world has come to watch this competition.
The Banquet's Announcer walks in and says "Welcome all to the Sixth Annual Fortune's Banquet. This year, we will have our 4 normal judges but replacing Karol is a special one. Coming from Rita Mordio's Hometown we introduce the one who knows the Heroes of Terca-Lumeniris as well as they do, Lucifer Scar!"
Everyone in the entire banquet hall jumps at that name. How is it that Lucifer is here?
Lucifer says "Well, I expect great things from the last human Terca-Lumeniris hero. I know the heroes quite well since I followed them for the entire time Rita was with them. I am Rita Mordio's Rival and I am a competitive rival so be warned. Finally, I am the Chosen One of this world so that makes me the most obvious choice for the final judge. It would be unfair to Karol up here for this one."
The Banquet's Announcer says "Even I wasn't told this because it was the gods who chose this judge. Alright, Introducing our Terca-Lumeniris Heroes participant, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Princess of the empire and the empire's representative for the heroes."
Everyone cheers for Estelle.
The Banquet's Announcer says "Now for our challenger representing the knights once again... Yes a knight is entering so we'll see if she is good enough to beat the princess."
Karol says "Another knight is entering?"
Flynn and the rest of the knights are just as surprised. Then Flynn sees that he is in Sodia's seat this time. That means Sodia is either in the stands or in the competition.
The Banquet's Announcer says "We introduce Lady Sodia of the Sodia Brigade."
Sodia walks out of the other side and everyone is surprised at the entry. Even Estelle is surprised.
The Banquet's Announcer says "Also, we weren't expecting to see this because the gods chose this entry as well."
Sodia says "I will not allow your group to get that prize."
Estelle growls and says "Why have you waited until I entered to do this?"
Sodia says "We all know that Yuri and Flynn are best friends who are also friendly rivals by convenience. Well, It is obvious to me that you are in love with Yuri Lowell. I'm going to tell you this. I love Flynn! I don't care who hears me now because I held this in my chest for too long. I want to redeem myself for what I did during your adventure that made you guys heroes."
Estelle says "What do you mean, Sodia?"
Sodia says "So Yuri has kept his word. I just can't say it. Please just leave me to this before I say it."
Estelle says "Okay, I will. I expect you to tell someone after this through, no matter what the result."
Sodia says "Agreed, my lady."
The Banquet's Announcer says "Well, this is unexpected but it seems we have two girls who are in love with the ones who originally participated in this line of Fortune's Banquet. So let it begin."
The Cooking battle began for the sixth time. When the time was up, the courses were judged by the same as the other five were. The winner is Estelle and Sodia couldn't believe it. She didn't win. How did Estelle win? She won by mastering all of her friends' cooking styles. It was a true masterpiece of combined effort. All of the heroes had pitched into helping Estelle learn how to cook and it taught her all of their styles and all she did was combine them into one.
Kaufman walked down holding a special chest and says "Your group is the winner of the group winning completion contest so that means you get to open this chest. It holds the ultimate key to success in it."
Everyone of the heroes opened the chest at once to find a piece of paper in it. Even Kaufman was surprised because not even Fortune's Market could open this chest. All it held was a piece of paper. Estelle looked at it more carefully and understood.
Estelle says "All of seven of us got to hold it. Can Repede come in to find out what's on it?"
Kaufman says "You guys want everyone to know it? If so, he can."
The six of them say "We do."
Then Repede walks in and he joins them in holding the paper and words were revealed.
Estelle reads "The Ultimate Key to success is none other than being true to yourself and everyone around you and being united as one world, not just one group."
Kaufman couldn't believe it. The ultimate key to success is what Brave Vesperia taught them in their journey that made them heroes.
Karol says "Well, that's just what we taught everyone. Everyone now has the ultimate key to success."
Sodia says "Not everyone... has it."
Everyone looks at her and is surprised to hear this. Who doesn't have that?
Yuri says "Very true. I am not being truthful to myself and Sodia is not being truthful to everyone around her."
Karol says "Then how about you do it right now?"
Yuri says "Alright, my truth that I haven't realized until now is I love Estelle."
Estelle says "Oh Yuri, I guess our love is true."
Everyone lets go of the paper and Then everyone at the Banquet looks at Sodia.
Rita says "Now it's your turn. What is your truth?"
Sodia says "My truth is the thing I was trying to redeem myself for during this competition."
Flynn walks out to her and says "Sodia, does it relate to this dagger I Found at Zaude after Yuri fell? Do you know who caused that to happen?"
Yuri says "Yes, that's it but more than just what you think."
Everyone besides Yuri and Sodia are surprised to see that Yuri knew what Sodia was talking about.
Sodia says "I was the one who knocked Yuri Lowell off. I got to go now."
Sodia runs away from the area.
Flynn growls and says "Why didn't she tell me? Or why didn't you tell me, Yuri?"
Yuri says "It's best that she told you herself. She was scared of your reaction seeing as how I'm your best friend."
Flynn says "I would never do anything to her. I care for her too much."
Yuri says "She doesn't know that. She was blinded by her hate, anger, and jealously to see what she was doing. I would know that since I felt her emotions rush into me."
Estelle says "But only the Noble Lowell family, who are Knights of the spirit Shadow, knew that. Wait Yuri, are you the son of that family who escaped the knights?"
Yuri says "Isn't the answer to that obvious with my last name being Lowell? Yeah I am. That means you and I, Estelle, are betrothed to one another, which is why I never had to make a move on you."
Estelle blushes and says "I count that as a move."
Ioder walks up after hearing that and says "Well, looks like my brother-in-law is the one Estelle wanted it to be."
Yuri chuckles and agrees with Ioder. Then Flynn approaches Ioder.
Ioder says "Flynn, what's up?"
Flynn says "I wish to go after Sodia with my old brigade to bring her back. I want to know why she hides her feelings for me."
Yuri says "That is a good question. Hey Karol, Can Brave Vesperia join them?"
Karol says "Yeah we will. if Ioder allows it."
Ioder says "Flynn I would like you to go after her and Brave Vesperia plus Estelle and Raven to come along as well."
Raven says "Captain Raven is on the job."
Estelle says "Ioder, why do I get to go?"
Ioder says "You are going to be the newest member of Brave Vesperia as the ambassador of the empire to the guilds."
Rita says "That's great."
Then the two groups left to find Sodia.
