As he drifted back towards his own home, he heard the sound of his mother's laughter coming from inside. He floated through the wall and into the living room, where Melissa was sitting with Fey and Aoi, watching a comedy movie on TV.
Fein grinned mischievously and projected his voice into the room. "Boo!" he shouted, making all three of them jump in surprise.

...
The sky outside the stronghold was dark, and the wind was howling, carrying the smell of decay and death. The wasteland was crawling with monsters, and the degu users were fighting for their lives.
B rank degu users, Taiga, Yui, and Akio were fighting side by side against a pack of vicious werewolves. Their weapons glinted in the moonlight, and their movements were swift and precise. The werewolves were no match for their skills, but the battle was far from over.
Taiga slashed at a werewolf with his sword, but the monster dodged and retaliated with a swipe of its claws. Taiga jumped back just in time, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Yui was fighting two werewolves at once, her daggers flashing in the moonlight. She was quick and agile, dodging their attacks with ease. But she knew she couldn't keep it up forever. Her stamina was running low.
Akio was using his degu ability to control the earth to create barriers to block the werewolves' attacks. But it was taking a toll on him, and he was starting to sweat profusely.
Finally, after a long and grueling battle, the werewolves were defeated. Taiga, Yui, and Akio looked around warily, checking for any other monsters that might be lurking nearby.
"That was close," Taiga said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "We need to be more careful."
"Yeah," Yui agreed. "We can't let our guard down."
Akio nodded in agreement. "But we can't keep fighting like this forever. We need to find a way to close the portal permanently."
They all knew what he was talking about. The portal was the reason the monsters kept appearing in their world. They had been fighting them off for years, but they knew it was only a matter of time before the monsters overwhelmed them.
"We'll find a way," Taiga said firmly. "We have to. Otherwise, there won't be anyone left to fight."
Yui and Akio nodded in agreement, their faces grim with determination. They all knew what was at stake, and they were willing to do whatever it took to save their world.
Taiga looked out at the barren wasteland surrounding the stronghold, the remnants of what was once a beautiful city. He couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and anger as he thought about how this was all due to the invasion of the monsters.
He remembered the time when he was a child, walking through the bustling streets of the city with his parents. The buildings were tall and elegant, adorned with intricate designs and decorations. The streets were full of people, vendors selling their wares, and the smell of delicious food wafted through the air. It was a vibrant and thriving place, full of life and energy.
But now, all that remained were ruins and rubble, with only the occasional tree or patch of grass to break up the monotony of the wasteland. Taiga couldn't help but wonder how long it would take to rebuild what had been lost, if it was even possible.
He shook his head, trying to clear the thoughts from his mind. They had more pressing concerns at the moment, like the possibility of another monster attack. Taiga knew that they couldn't afford to let their guard down, not even for a moment.
Still, the memory of the once-beautiful city lingered in his mind, haunting him with the loss and devastation that had been wrought upon it. He could only hope that they would one day be able to reclaim what was once theirs, and rebuild the city to its former glory. But for now, they had to focus on survival, and doing whatever they could to keep the monsters at bay.
As they made their way back to the stronghold, they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. They had fought the monsters countless times before, but this time felt different. This time, they knew that their enemies were growing stronger, and that their time was running out.
...
Fein walked into the laboratory, and immediately he saw Brick Norty standing next to his new invention. Fein's eyes widened as he approached the device.
"Wow, Brick, what is this thing?" Fein asked, looking at the intricate machinery that surrounded the energy gun.
"It's an energy gun that uses degu energy to blast away monsters," Brick replied with a smirk, clearly pleased with himself. "I call it the Degu Blaster."
Fein looked at the device with a newfound appreciation. "How does it work?"
Brick launched into an explanation that was both technical and scientific. Fein listened intently as Brick talked about the principles behind the gun and the inspiration behind the invention. It was clear that Brick had vast scientific knowledge, and he took great pride in his work.
Fein watched as Brick demonstrated the gun, aiming it at a target and firing a powerful beam of energy. The force of the blast was enough to send the target flying across the room.
Fein nodded in approval. "Impressive," he said. "What kind of monsters can this gun take down?"
Brick grinned. "F-rank to C-rank monsters, easy. Anything above that, and we'll need something with a little more firepower."
Fein nodded again. "Good work, Brick. This could be a game-changer in the fight against the monsters."
Brick beamed with pride. "Thanks, Fein. It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it to see the results."
Fein couldn't help but be impressed with Brick's ingenuity. He could see the potential in the Degu Blaster and how it could make a real difference in the battle against the monsters.
As he left the laboratory, Fein couldn't help but feel a sense of hope for the future. With inventions like the Degu Blaster, maybe they could finally turn the tide in the war against the monsters.
'With degu blaster, even a normal citizen would be able to fight F to C ranks. Really, a game-changer.' Fein thought inwardly.
