We returned to our room in the inn and got ourself a diner. While we were at it, I checked secretly my status.
Name: Flake Flameburst
Race: Human [25%]
Level: 30
Skill: Summoner King[U], Diligence King [U], Magic manipulation [C], Daggers [C], Bow [B], Magic adaptation [D], Original magic [F], Leather crafting [C], Blacksmithing [B], Monster training [B], Woodworking [C], Swordmanship [F], Comander [B], Musician [F], Harversting [B]
'My bow skill went up huh? As for the others, it seems like they stay the same...'
"Flake?"
"Ah! Yes?" I stressed out an answear to Mika sitting in front of me.
"I will go take a bath now. Will you check on your summons?"
"I planned for that, but it can wait. The girls are treated as my summons too so they can feed them."
"Okay, then wait for me here 'kay?" she winked at me and disappeared behind the doors leading to the bathroom.
"Alright, [Summon Ruth]"
I summoned my Big slime for a very specific reason.
"Ruth, I need your help. Could you use your [Cleaning] and [Odor removal] on me?"
Ruth wriggled in agreement and coiled around me. This way he created something of a pool and released it's cleaning solution. This solution is great and have many uses. It can absorb sweat, blood or grime. I submerged in this watery solution.
Way in the back, when I was apart of Lotus, I was forbiden from using the baths there so I came up with this method to great dissatisfaction of my team mates, becouse I looked cleaner then anyone else.
"Fuu, that was great Ruth, you can absorb the water back, thanks."
"Ruruu!" Ruth wriggled happily and I canceled the summoning.
I fell down on the bed and closed my eyes for a minute. My mind went over everything that happened today. My two unique skills unlocked, but I still don't know why. First is Summoner King, a skill that boosts my summoning abilities. I mean, the heart shape confused everyone at first, but thanks to that priestess from the capital we found out about the details... 'Wonder what her problem was. She said she came looking for Mika becouse she's the Sacred archer, but she spend most of her time with me...'
"Flake, I'm ready." weak voice made me open my eyes and I saw Mika in her one piece sleepwear.
"You look beautiful, Mika."
"Th-thanks..." Mika stuttered and sit next to me on the bed.
I sit up so we were now shoulder to shoulder.
"Flake... I-I want you to know... this is... m-my first time... sleeping in same room with a boy."
"You're so cute when you get embarrassed," I smiled and hugged her.
"Uwha?"
"Mika, you always helped me. And more than anything, you are, in my eyes, the most lovely girl."
"Flake..." somehow, Mika looked smaller next to me. As she looked up at me, I decided to kiss her.
One thing let to another and before we knew it we were just like wild animals. Her screams of pleasure filled the room as well as my ears.

Meanwhile, in [My world] the three slave girls were eating their diner.
"I never thought... that someone would buy us together," Tama, the black cat smiled as she finished her soup.
"We can still be together sis," Shiro smiled and let her head rest on her sisters shoulder.
"This food... to think he would prepare such a feast for his slaves..." Ricca drolled as she watched Aku roast big piece of meat over fire.
"This place... can't even compare to the army..." Tama looked at the meat with sparkly eyes.
"Agreed sis."
"We are one on this," Ricca smiled and wiped her droll before it could reach the tip of her chin.
"We need... to strive for best results," Tama said when she recieved a piece of meat from Aku.
"Yeah! Let's do our best so we won't have to return to that kingdom again!" Shiro rised her fist to the empty skies.
"YEAH!" Ricca nodded with her vigorously.
Truth to be told, in Reyan Kingdom, which the girls are from, foot soldiers are mostly treated as meat shields against. So using them as a bargening chip was the definition of the word useless. And even the Silver knights, which had a princess secretly listed in, was no different.
"I never knew that becoming servant can be so interesting."
"Getting crests upgraded... never heard of it."
"That's right! What do you even think about all this? How could that happen just becouse our owner awaken his unique skill? I'm not mad or anything 'kay, but still! This is so weird!"
"Hehe, what to say. He's deffinitely a unique existence" Ricca tried to laugh it off.
"He is... tomorrow... we leave this town. Almarion dungeon town's next... what do you think about it?"
"It will be interesting, that's for sure."
The girls ate their diner and continued to talk about their future when one thing came up from the most unpredictible source, Tama.
"What about... night service?"
Those words made the remaining two girls freeze. Given they were in army, and in knight order made solely from woman, niether of the three girls had experiences with the oposite sex. Making them think about these 'What ifs' made them stay awake for most of the night.
***
The next morning we continued our journey to Almarion. The carriage was more empty then the one we used to come here, but it was still considerably full.
Mika, who was smiling ever since waking up, was like before coiled around my hand. But unlike the time we spent going here, I was smiling and letting my head rest on hers. But the gaze of our same age adventurers was rather piercing.
"So the journey now will take two days. Any plans for what we will do in the meantime?"
I looked at Mika who was smiling with slight blush.
"I was thinking of learning about the original magic. But it can be also used to learn about the skill I learned recently."
I deliberately said just skill as to not rise a ruckus by revealing I have unique skills. It's said that unique skills have only few chosen ones and mastery over it can lead to promotion into noble. Not to mention that if you have two, you are neverbefore heard of existence.
'Hey Full assist. Can you tell me about the sub skills of Summoner king and abilities of Diligence king?'
'So when I fuse Aku with Mossy, Aku's personality will remain?'
'Okay now tell me about the [Diligence king]'
'Does that mean, that I can use magic, grow rank of my skills, and activate special abilities much faster?'
"Those skills are awsome," I smiled to myself and let Mika snuggle with me.
Ability activation shortening reminded me that when I use Blacksmithing special ability (Triple hit) there is short time lag due to charging of mana into my hand and hammer.
The first day of traveling felt suprisingly short as we were arriving in fort Dullahan while the sun was still few hours from setting.
"Anyway, can I ask why is this fort named Dullahan? It doesn't seem like a much undead are appearing here." I asked one of the soldiers who allowed me to look over the forest and fort from walls.
"It's becouse of last lord of the city that used to be standing in this location many years ago. It's said that his daughter was unparalleled beauty, which could charm any man. She hated the fact that she was seen as nothing more then a pretty face and decided to run away, but her father and fianceé didn't liked that and run after her. But when they finaly found her, she was already dead. The fianceé, unable to let go used dark magic ritual on her and brought her back to life."
"Something tells me it didn't went well."
"Indeed. He sacrificed half of the city population just to bring her back. But, she went wild as she lost her mind during the process. That night the girl massacred entire city. She killed her father and fianceé. When all was done, her mind finaly cleared up, but at that time she was already one of the undead. She rised some of those dead as undead and ruled the ruins of the city for two hundread years."
"What happened after that?"
"A hero came and defeated her, putting her soul to rest. It's said that the girls sword is still in this forest though,"
"Does it have any special abilities? I can't imagine somehing as just a plain sword would be mentioned in stories."
"You're right. It's said that the sword she wielded was a magic sword her fianceé used to kill those people in the ritual."
"So it's a cursed sword, I see."
"Yes. I really hope it will never be found, and if it does, that some high ranked priest would purify it," the guard laughed and I decided to leave for the time being.
"Oh, come on girl, we can give you some real fun time. Not like that whimpy kid," an adventurer was hitting on Mika.
"[Summon Mossy and Ruth]"
I summoned Mossy and had him appear before Mika. And while I was at it, I cut of their escape route with Ruth.
"What the hell is a golem doing here?!" The adventurers jumped back.
"I would recommend you to leave my woman, sir." My blood was boiling hot and I felt like just one straw was keeping my sences intact.
"Huh?! Is this your doing kid? Get lost if you don't want to look at your girl feeling the real pleasure."
Snap.
"Alright," I smiled "Now I'm mad. [Summon Void], use (dark hold)."
"Kuureee!" Void screamed out and Dark hold spell made them unable to move.
"You bastard!" one of the more resiliant adventurers broke off the restraint and unsheathe his sword.
"Ah, crap, I should have bought that equipment when I could," I hit my forehead in exaggerated manner as I took out my hammer, "I will have to take you on myself it seems."
"Oh no, he snaped..." Mika hold her forehead as she understood that this adventurer, even with superrior crest of swordmaster had no chance against Flake who regained some confidence last night.
"Don't die on me too quickly okay? (Triple hit)" I activated the blacksmithing special ability and met the attackers sword head on.
I was used to do maintenance on magic swords so spotting weak point on regular iron sword was a piece of cake. My aim was so precise that the sword snaped after single hit.
"You fucker! That was a mithril blade!"
"You should check your eyes, that was an ordinary iron, no matter how you look at it mithril wouldn't snap that easily," I shrugged and activated my (Triple hit) again. This time, I targeted his abdomen.
"Ugah!" The adventurer fell to the ground, after flying few meters away from us, with a heavy thud.
"Ruth take them hostage."
As Ruth was cleaning the garbage, several people were driven out of their rooms by the noice. Luckily there were some people who saw the entire thing happening so I was set free with legitimate self-deffence.
On the other hand, the five adventurer were forced to pay a fine for disturbing the night peace. Additionaly the group will be held here until another carriage came to this fort.
"You were so cool back there," Mika smiled and hugged me tightly, which reminded me that she is crazy strong.
"If anyone tries to touch my woman, I will show no mercy," I smiled at her and kissed her on her soft and warm lips.
