Raph: you know bro

Donnie: I wonder who we're gonna recruit?

Mikey: hopefully someone cool

beloukas(smirk): and who are the four people be?

naofumi(concerns): those are my friends, they help me & raphtalia fight the waves (sigh)... but anyway are you sure there's none single demi human slave?

beloukas(smirk): yes the more demi human won't arrive until a month so I suggest you get a monster to help you

naofumi seems understanding some but what troubling is that he won't be able to help more Demi humans that when raph notice some eggs so he pointed at it

Raph: what's that?

beloukas(smirk): this good sir it's monster eggs lottery for 100 silvers you get a filolial

(moments later)

after they left the magic shop, they have great affinity & learn some magic spell for preparation at the waves but once they began open their grimoires for learn some spell, they have a hard time understanding this world language but they work together to make progress. as for raph, he began taking care the egg with little help naofumi & raphtalia so a filolial will hatch when it's nighttime they went back at the inn so they can sleep for tomorrow no

the next day raph woke up early to check on the filolial egg after look after it naofumi is next to woke up, he see raph is taking care of the egg so he walk to raph & said

naofumi(whisper): hey raph how's the egg?

Raph(whisper): (turn his head) oh it's good just waiting to hatch

naofumi(whisper): that's good

just then both of them just heard a crack, they turn their head to see the egg is hatching raph & naofumi are surprising also their eyes widen so raph calls out everyone

Raph(excited): guys, the egg is hatching, come see!!!

leo, donnie, mikey & raphtalia is starting to waking up to hear raph voice then leo spoke

Leo(little bit tire): wha? what going on raph?

Donnie(little bit tired): yeah it's so early

Mikey(little bit tired): huh? did you say something raph?

raphtalia(woke up): (yawn) what is it raph?

naofumi(excited): the egg is hatching!!!

everyone surprise & quickly get up then they see the egg is about hatch then unexpected happened, a small pink filolial has come out the egg then starting chirping

small filolial(excited): chirp, chirp, chirp

the group said: "aaawww it's sooo cuuutteee!!!"

then the filolial chick lands on raph & he is happy to see him as his owner

raphtalia(happy): it so cute raph!

Mikey(smile): yea bro, it like you!!!

Leo(chuckled): look likes a filolial chick see you as a parent

Donnie(chuckled): it definitely suit you

naofumi(smile): what are you gonna name it?

Raph(excited): ooohhh!!! I don't know but don't worry I'll come something

naofumi: alright then, let get going & raise a filolial chick

everyone nodded so they started packing their stuff and began grinding some levels


(at lute village)

naofumi, raphtalia, leo, donnie, mikey & raph began leveling up while raph is taking care the filolial chick over the past hour they have reach max level 40 so they decide to take a break then taking care of a filolial chick for rest of the day

for the past two days filolial chick has grown because raph has feeding his pet so well it didn't whine or chirp so loudly just be patient for raph to comfort him or her so naofumi step in to check raph filolial, it turns out it's a she so he use grow skill to help a little bit then after she full grown raph can't help but happy that his filolial has grow so much then they place her at a pace in the barn to more comfortable

raphtalia(smile): I can't she grown so much for two days

naofumi(smile): my grow skill may help a little, so have you come up with a name raph?

Raph(smile): hmm I think so, how about... filo?

the filolial now know as filo is happily chirping then raphtalia ask

raphtalia: you name filo as in filolial... umm don't you think that little bit obviously raph?

Raph: maybe but she seem to like it... so do you bros?

Donnie: I think it's great name

Leo: yea she likes the name, I think it suits her

Mikey(joyful): yup I definitely agree with the name!

Raph(smile): well raphtalia? does that answer your question?

raphtalia(in defeat): well alright I guess we go with that name

naofumi is look his stat as well other stat & their level cap as far he knows, naofumi see a star next to his party level cap while filo is only level 20 naofumi checking the menu for anything about the stars then he found it then said to ready for a class upgrade to increase their level cap, stats & more, so in order to work he needs the dragon hourglass to complete the ritual so they can leveling up more. naofumi begin understand more when raphtalia call him

raphtalia: master naofumi?

naofumi: (pay attention) yeah raphtalia?

raphtalia: I noticed you been with your shield, is something wrong?

naofumi(calmly): oh no no, I just looking our level cap & notice we need a class upgrade

raphtalia(confuse): class upgrade?

then leo step in with mikey, donnie & raph who is petting filo

Leo: what is a class upgrade?

naofumi: oh according to my shield, it's sort of like a ritual that let you increase your level cap even

the turtles: "ooohhh!!!"

naofumi: but the problem is that we need the dragon hourglass in order to increase our level cap & stats

the turtles(heads down): "ooohhh!"

raphtalia(little bit sad): I see

naofumi(cheer up): but don't worry everyone we won't have to go the church at the capital, we can go another country to another church where another dragon hourglass is there

Leo(cheer up): you're right naofumi the world is in danger so it's up to the cardinal heroes to save them

naofumi(nod): exactly so I would suggest we travel anyplace to welcome the shield hero so that we perform class upgrade

Donnie(understand): alright then once we ready to pack, we can begin travel to next country

Mikey(curious): hhhmmm... hey raph, should we get filo a carriage that way we don't have keep walking to next place?

Raph(nod): I don't see the problem also filo like to pull carriage so let get one

naofumi(smile): alright I ask the lord of lute for carriage while the rest of you take a break

raphtalia(cheerful): alright master naofumi!

naofumi(smile): well then I go look for the lord

raphtalia, leo, donnie, raph & mikey have nodded so naofumi go look for the lord while the rest stay with filo, raph & raphtalia loves to patting at filo. leo keep an eye out, donnie checking some adjustments his gadgets from his bag & mikey listening his music after naofumi came back with a carriage so leo notified the group that he's back so naofumi speak up

naofumi(cheerful): hey everyone I'm back

raphtalia(smile): welcome back master naofumi, I see you have us a carriage

naofumi(nod): yup now for tomorrow we pack for traveling, I also have a pass so that walk through to each village & work as merchants to make some money

raphtalia(nod): that great

both of them hear stomachs growls turn to see leo, mikey, donnie & raph rubbing their belly so leo ask

Leo(chuckled): hey naofumi, it is alright for me & my brothers to get something to eat?

naofumi(nod): sure there's a diner or restaurant next to the inn while me & raphtalia take care of filo, if it's alright with raphtalia?

raphtalia(smile brightly): sure I'm not hungry so I don't mind, you four make sure eating well

Leo(nod): we will thank you naofumi & raphtalia, we back soon

so leo, mikey, donnie & raph are heading to a place where they can eat but unknown to them things is about to get interesting
