The sun is raising for the fourth time since i went on a trip with Yumiko.
The evolution of 'heal' was also completed, turning it into 'enhanced heal' which is a lot more powerful.
This moment i can be seen sleeping with Yumiko, no rather she is sleeping while i am hugging and casting spells on her, after all gluttony not only gives me mana but also stamina and a tiny amount of 'mind'. When i mean 'mind' i mean the energy that the brain uses, from what i have read to this point the only way to recover mind is to drink a very rare tier 3 potion or get a good sleep.

[Comment: Exploring near the top of the mountain might be to your best interest.]
My mana manipulation and light magic have been advancing very nicely.
I also got a level, i must have killed a strong beast while i was throwing gluttonus aura down the mountain.
'Enhanced heal' has also beed level 9 for quite a while now so i am expecting it to level up soon, i realy hope that the evolution mission is something simple otherwise there might be a problem.
While i was thinking of this i heard the sound i had been hoping for.
[Ding]
[Skill 'enhanced healing' has reached level 10, complete the mission to evolve.]
[Mission: use 'enhanced heal' on a target whose condition is very serious.]
I looked at this before i casted the spell on Yumiko.
[Ding]
[Mission has been complete, skill 'enhanced healing' has evolved into 'weak rejuvenation']
When i saw the new messages i didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
'It would seem that even the system views Yumiko's condition as serious'
I let out a sigh and casted the new spell so as to see its effects.
But before i could even pay attention on Yimiko's vitality, Yumiko started trembling while letting out soft moans.
Emmmm, ok this was completely unexpected.
Yumiko woke up and with a crimson face she stared back at me.
"...young master, what just happened?"
Just as i was about to answer her i noticed that her vitality not only completely stopped being damaged but also recovered, albeit only a very slight fraction.
I also noticed that this single spell took around 40 points of mana to cast, i had read that every 3 evolutions the skill will get a massive power increase but i never expected to be this much.
Seeing me in deep thought Yumiko tried to ask again what was happening before she notice the changes in her body.
So, for a couple of minutes we were just hugging and looking at each other in complete shock.
"So, this went way better than i had expected."
I had enough of this silence so i tried to break the ice.
Yumiko just stares at me in complete silence, before she started rubbing her face against mine.
"w-w-whats are you Doing Yimiko, stop it!"
She stopped and looked at me dead in the eye before saying.
"Please call me Yumi from now on."
"Yumi?"
"Yes"
"...is there something special about calling you Yumi?"
"No, i think it sounds better."
"...ok then."
I ignored this whole incident and kept healing her until the sun started falling.
We left all the furniture i brough with me here and sealed the cave entrance so that we can come here next weak as well.
With all that set and done we set out for home.
.....
'Is this what Rose had talked about when she said that Bell was incredible?'
At this moment i can't feel the freezing cold that has been haunting since i can remember myself, no in fact i actualy feel amazing, i feel like my body has been filled with energy for the first time in my life.
Unfortunately all that energy is getting sucked up by my body, it should be using the energy to fully complete my physique.
Still, i couldn't be happier.
And it is all because of this boy.
The boy who always hugged me when i was feeling cold.
The boy who made unique toys to ease my boredom.
Hehehe, the boy to whom i professed my love, not that he realised, after all he has no experience with beast-people, how could he possibly know that rubbing my face against his is a love confession.
Even now though, it would take me years to fully recover, not that i am complaining, i am sure that Bell will figure something out.
It's almost funny, it's like i am the sickly princess and he is my smart and valiant knight in shining armor who is always there for me.
I also realised that this whole situation is a miracle in itself, the chances of me being born alive is minuscule at best according to Rose, the fact that i could live long enough to meat Arthur who tried to heal me is another miracle and lastly the biggest miracle is the boy infront of me.
Had it been any other noble, they would have just looked away, not even paying attention to me other than showing some pity that they didn't get a good slave.
Even if they had bought me, the would have either not been able to cure me, or straight up throw me out since i was too expensive to cure.
I am certain, that no other person other than this boy could or would ever help me, not even my parents.
And what did that boy ask from me in return?
To be his maid, something so simple yet so difficult.
If i were to be a maid to a normal, no scratch that, if i were to be a maid to a genius then all i had to do is be pretty and level up a bit.
I would only need to be a pretty face to make my master look good, nothing else would be expected form me.
But Bell is a monster, a terrible terrible monster, that will make even the best young geniuses taste despair.
A moster that at the age of 5 could already cast so many advanced spells, a monster whose mana seems to be infinite, a monster whose body is strong enough to carry another person from one mountain to another without even breaking a sweat, amonster that possesses incredible knowledge and a terrible monster who can do all of the above simultaneously.
Who could even qualify to serve such a monster, i had been thinking this question from the time i spoke with Rose and i came to only one conclusion.
I would need to become a genius, and not any random genius but the top genius.
My duty would not be to be a pretty face next to my master, but to be competent enough to defeat all those that my master wouldn't even be bothered to deal with himself.
All those princes and princesses that have been trained from a young age to be strong and smart enough to take over the kingdom and rule it.
All those vampires, elfs, beast-people that have been trained by using the resources of the entire tribe just to enroll to the Royal academy so that the name of the tribe would be heard.
All those people that come from a simple background but fought their way to the top, risking their lifes again and again just to reverse their fates.
My duty will be to take care of them so that my young master wouldn't waste his precious time with them.
I smile to the boy that is currently carrying me to his castle.
I will become the best maid to ever exist for the best master to ever exist!
