The team boarded the Lunar Shrimp to go back to their world, destination: the Caerenth Empire (Eric and Laura's homeland). Then the small vessel they're in lifted off the Blue Moon and headed towards the planet, with them remaining seated. Siegfried blew his nose on a tissue, but at least his head cold wasn't as bad as it is when he was thawed out. He saw that his teammates sit across him, not wanting to catch his illness.

"Siegfried, when we arrive at our homeland, please stay at the inn" said Laura.

"Why?" He said, as he felt his nose congested.

"Because, you're sick. I doubt if the guards of the imperial palace would let you in, they have a dress code regarding in fully clothed people. In other words: if you try entering the palace wearing only a towel, they would throw you out and tell you to put some clothes on" replied Eric.

"Ugh, great. They won't let me in if I'm wearing only a towel, even though I'm a Dragoon turned Scrubber" he grumbled.

"Don't worry, I'll stay with you. I'll make sure the illness will abate when I use medicine" said Sonya.

With that said, Siegfried lay down on the seats to take a nap while telling the team to wake him if the Lunar Shrimp has landed. It doesn't take long until the Lunar Shrimp entered the planet's atmosphere carefully, without bursting into flames upon entry. Eric, Sonya, and Laura looked out the window and saw a continent with dense forests, and a tower to the north.

"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Sonya.

"Yep, our homeland, the Caerenth Empire" replied Eric.

"It's been some time we come home" Laura remarked.

Then, Laura and Eric switched their job classes back to their original job classes (Laura being a black mage whereas Eric is the scanner) just so some of the guards were to recognize them.

Sonya was amazed at the sight of the Caerenth Empire, due to a blend of forests and industry. She always wanted to go there since it has the earth crystal, but she couldn't due to how the kingdom she was born in was rebelling against the empire. She read that the empire was founded by the first dark knight who united all the city states, before facing the dreaded dragon that was terrorising the continent.

As the Lunar Shrimp landed on the landing pad within the imperial capital, Sonya wakes Siegfried before leaving with the team. Siegfried immediately left the vessel and joined his team, and he stood there in awe at the sight of the city that has numerous pipes connected. A couple of imperial guards came to them, because of when the Lunar Shrimp has landed.

"Ah, Eric and Laura. His imperial majesty has been waiting anxiously for your report, so take the teammates with-" said one imperial guard before cutting himself off, as he sees that Siegfried is wearing only a towel.

"How come your team leader is wearing only a towel?" Asked the other guard.

"It's a long story, but I can tell you: he went from a dragoon to a Scrubber by acquiring the crystal fragment that contains the job class" replied Sonya.

"And he's sick after being frozen... when we faced off a monster that can freeze things while we were on the Blue Moon" added Eric.

"We can't let him in the imperial palace, he might get the emperor sick with a head cold! Not only that, he also can't enter because we have a dress code requiring wearing full clothing, so we don't allow people who are almost naked. I recommend you leave him at the inn to recover from that illness, and have him change to another job class that won't be embarrasing" said the guard.

Siegfried glared at the guard, knowing that it was true. He has no choice when the team take him to the nearest inn, and booked him a room so he can recover.

"We're sorry, but we can't have you infect anyone with the head cold. Just stay here and recover, we'll be back soon after meeting with the emperor" said Sonya.

"Remember the crystal fragments we found on the ground of the Moon Base? Here, take this with you" said Siegfried as he reached into his bag and pulled out the crystal fragment that has the symbol of the crescent moon.

Sonya takes it and put it into her bag that also contains the other crystal fragment she had found, then she kissed him on his forehead before leaving him. He blushed before going to sleep on the bed, knowing that he can't enter due to two reasons.

Meanwhile, on the Blue moon

In the second floor of the Crystal Palace, Fusoya begin using the energy of the eight lunar crystals to try and cure Wendigo of his mutation. However, the monster slowly wakes up and noticed the old Lunarian sage.

"Why... do you spare me?" Asked Wendigo.

"You maybe a monster that served whoever your master is, but deep down, you are a fellow Lunarian" Fusoya answered in a calm tone.

"I... can't remember much about myself. I've been sleeping for so long that I forgot who or what I was, I begin hearing a dark voice in my mind" said Wendigo as he felt his memories stirring within his mind.

"A dark voice, you say? As soon as I cure you of your mutation, I already prepared some clothing for you to wear" said Fusoya, he couldn't shake that feeling of dread as if something or someone sinister is down within the depths of the moon.

Wendigo closed his eyes as the old Lunarian sage continued using the elemental energy, wondering who he was prior to his mutation

Authors note: how was this chapter? Sonya and team went on without Siegfried, while Fusoya is working on curing the monsters mutation.
