The sun's rays were now reaching the room of the inn where Aria and Logan were. Logan was now coming out of Aria's tender embrace, this embrace had brought back many distant memories. Like the embrace of father Cristian, the warm hugs of his sister and his parents.
"Are you feeling better?" Aria asked.
"Yes thank you." (Logan)
Logan got up from the bed where Aria was standing with the beautiful nightgown he had made for her out of the silver wolf fur. Then he pulled out his and Aria's outfits, which were partly tattered from their battle. And he began to patch up the outfits on your bedroom table while Aria watched him from bed.
"Tell me, a question had been nagging at me for a while. Of all the slaves on the street where you found me, why did you come to me?" (Aria)
"Well, to tell you the truth, you reminded me of a friend who has the same coat color as you." (Logan)
"Oh right, was he a beast man like me too?" She said curiously and excitedly.
"Ah, ah, no, it was a little cat named Shiro." Logan replied with a laugh.
"A cat, what's that? I know about beast cat men, but not what you just told me." She answered a little confused.
"Ah, I see, you don't have one in your world." (Logan)
"Not in our world?" She questioned perplexed.
"It's true you don't know much about me, well since I'm sewing our clothes, I'll explain. Long story short, I wasn't born in this world Aria, I was summoned here." (Logan)
Aria then jumped off the bed to get closer to Logan's face.
"You're a summoned hero from another world!" (Aria)
"That's right, I was summoned from the kingdom of Sigma a few months ago now." (Logan)
"For what purpose?" (Aria)
"For the purpose of fighting the expansion of the dungeons and being the new military force of the kingdom." (Logan)
"Does that mean you weren't summoned alone and in that case why aren't you at the castle then?" (Aria)
Logan then began to tell her exactly how he arrived here as a summoned hero. From the process of the summoning to his quick expulsion from the castle.
"So they got rid of you when they saw that they couldn't use you. But why was your status changed when you were summoned?" (Aria)
"That's something that right now I don't have a clue about." (Logan)
"In any case, I think it was a very good thing, it allowed you to directly see their true intention and leave more easily. However, I'm a little worried about the one you say is your best friend." (Aria)
"You're right, but Maili will be fine it's only a matter of time before we see each other again." (Logan)
"If you see her again that means you'll also run into the people who ganged up on you again." (Aria)
"Yes, I'm looking forward to especially seeing a certain person again." Said Logan thinking about Shawn.
Aria then lay back down on the bed looking pensive and dreamy trying to imagine what Logan's world could be like.
"I wish you could tell me more, what your world is like, what your life was like there, what kind of person your sister was." (Aria)
"Well, that will be for another day, I finished resewing our clothes and now we have to go out, we have things to do." Said Logan as he handed her his resewn up clothes.
Aria disappointed not to have her answers, stood up and violently took the like-new linen that Logan handed her. Then she went out to take a bath followed by Logan who was watching not to let anyone in. Before she finished and went back to the room for Logan to take his shower afterwards.
Once he too had showered, he went back into the room and saw Aria in her outfit. He watched her for a moment before thinking:
"She finally has a good build and is not as skinny as the day I found her. Her body is now well nourished her skin and her facial complexion now flawless." (Logan)
"What's wrong?" Said Aria as Logan stood there watching her.
"No nothing, it's just that you're very beautiful." He replied with a smile.
"Thanks." Replied she blushing and a little embarrassed.
Aria was now in full possession of her well fed stronger and beautiful. A perfectly distributed body, a medium chest like her buttocks. A beautiful skin, and beautiful white ears and a small tail with also beautiful eyes of ice gray color as her element with a beautiful soft voice.
The two finally left early to go in the downtown area where they continued to talk quietly.
"But why didn't I hear about the heroes, even as a slave at the time I could have at least heard some echoes?" (Aria)
"Well, they definitely have to train them before they officially present them to the kingdom." (Logan)
"So that they can fight in the dungeons and also become a new armed hand that will also undoubtedly oppress the other races if asked." (Aria)
"Yes, and I think with the growing danger of the dungeons the other countries had to do the same." (Logan)
"As if the kingdoms weren't already strong enough!" (Aria)
"So, that must be a lot of summoned ones and I'll probably have to meet and even confront them in the future." Logan thought before turning to Aria.
"By the way, Aria did you have a different theory from humans about the appearance of dungeons?"(Logan)
"Like humans we think that the demon king when he died put a curse giving birth to the dungeons to punish the humans." (Aria)
"Yes, but nevertheless the dungeons threaten by their influence on this world also the other species and races, so is it really the work of the demon king?" (Logan)
"That's right, so it could be his work, or not at all of his doing there are many unknown elements. Besides, my teacher said that a lot of things got lost or erased." (Aria)
"Erased?" (Logan)
Logan then reflected on some of the inconsistencies he had read in the guild's history books.
"Someone is definitely trying to hide something from everyone." He said with a serious look.
"But the question is what?" Aria added.
They then continued on their way through the city Logan and Aria once again going to the underground market now knowing what to expect. But this time on the street they could see some men dressed in white, blue and gold with the symbol of the church. A golden moon illuminated with a cross with blue in places and border.
So my passage did attract attention. Logan thought.
Then he searched for the person he wanted to meet until he finally came across her while pacing the gallery.
"Logan here you are finally!" Then launched Macron accompanied by several men.
While Logan's face remained completely stoic while answering him.
"You sent your men, thinking I wouldn't pay what I owed you." (Logan)
"No, no, I mean I was just worried about you and then the message you gave to Marie was very clear." (Macron)
"You were worried about me? Don't fuck with me, the only thing you were worried about was your money." Logan replied, throwing a purse at him.
Macron then grabbed it and opened it discovering it was full of gold coins.
"Here's your payment as due with all the interest that goes with it." (Logan)
"Well, our business seems settled, it was a pleasure doing business with you." He said already as he turned on his heels.
"I don't seem to have said that you and I are done." Logan tossed which made Marcon smile and turn around.
"I see our relationship is not about to end, so what do you need?" He asked with a smile.
"Is information also part of your skill set?"(Logan)
"A merchant has to have that kind of skill so what information do you need?" (Macron)
"I would like to have information about a man named Vengus." (Logan)
Logan had just asked, with a serious look on his face, for information about the man who had burned the village of Aria to the ground. While the Kingdom of Sigma would soon officially meet their new heroes.
