Chapter 17 - Chapter 15

(Altheria May 5 580 Imperial Calander 12:23 p.m.)

(Rina Pov)

"...e. ..k. .p!"(?)

Who's shaking me?

"Mmm, go away."(Rina)

"m..s.e. w.k. up!"(?)

"5 more minutes."(Rina)

"Master, you need to wake up! It's already noon!"(?)

"*Covers ears* Mmm, I'm up, I'm up so stop yelling in my ears. You're giving me a headache.

And who are you?"(Rina)

The girl I was looking at was about as big and old as me with brown skin, black scales that turned white and lightning blue the closer they got to her head, she has azure eyes, white hair with lightning blue highlights, 2 horns on the side of her head that were white with blue lightning patterns on it, a black and white scaled tail that also had blue lightning patterns, her wings were white at the base but the membrane was black with again blue lightning patterns, she was also wearing a maid outfit for some reason.

Did Ella hire a Dragonoid or something?

"Master you're so mean! We contracted just yesterday, and you forgot about me!?"(?)

(Confused) Huh? What is she talking about? I didn't make any contracts with anyone yesterday. Hell, this is my first time even meeting a Dragonoid.

{Rina. Didn't Master say that Nifl had a humanoid form?} (Snow)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he said something like that. Why ask?

{I think that's Nifl.} (Snow)

Ye- Huuuuh?!

{Well, I can feel that weird contract coming from her. And she got into our room without either of us noticing so I can only guess that she's Nifl.

If you don't believe me, check the contract connection.} (Snow)

I guess I could try.

I did and she's right. The contract was connected to her.

"Master are you even listening!"(?)

"Yeesh, lower your voice. I'm not deaf Nifl."(Rina)

"(Surprised) You remember me?"(Nifl)

"No not really. I mean you didn't say anything the entire time I was in the forest, and you just started talking and in human form, so I used the contract to guess."(Rina)

"(Embarrassed) Oh, I guess it's my fault then."(Nifl)

"(Sarcastic) You think. Well, it's not a big deal anyway. So, why did you wake me up?"(Rina)

"Right, well it's already almost 12:30 and you've been sleeping for over 12 hours, so I woke you."(Nifl)

"(Annoyed) You woke me up just because it was 12 o'clock. *Sigh* I'm already awake so might as well just get up."(Rina)

*Stretch*

Hm? Did I grow again?

Haa, growing so much is annoying. Especially when it's so fast. I mean I'm already almost 2 meters tall and I'm only 7 months old. Ugh, when will I stop growing?

"Nifl can you go out and call a maid for me? I need bigger clothes again."(Rina)

"On it Master!"(Nifl)

"One more thing stop calling me Master. My name is Rina."(Rina)

"No can-do Master. You're the Master and I the servant. I was made to listen to help and serve my Master forever."(Nifl)

"*Sigh* Can you call me something other than Master then?"(Rina)

"How about Master Rina. I get to call you Master and you get your name."(Nifl)

"*Sigh* I guess it's better than Master."(Rina)

"Ok now that that is settled *bow* I will be taking my leave for a little while."(Nifl)

*Jaw drop*

*Click step close*

D-Did she just bow like the maids do when Ella passes by them? I-Isn't that used for nobles and stuff?

{Rina, you're a clan leader now. Don't forget that technically you are also a type of royal.}

Yeah, but I don't rule over anyone.

{Says the one with a pack of over 3,000 wolves.}

Wait they're at 3,000 already?

{Yep, check the clan board. It shows how many are under you. It seems like Kear, and the others have been taking over packs and making contracts with them.

Hell, I mean Kear, and a few others even hit level 100 already.}

Hmm, I guess I'll check that out while I wait for some clothes.

--------------------------------------------------------------(10 minutes)

Hm, you're right. Kear did hit level 100 but to be exact it was 124 and 10 others hit between 101 and 120.

"..."

"..."

Huh, what's going on out there? It sounds like the guards are chasing someone but can't manage to catch them. Meh, not my problem.

"Master help!"(Nifl)

"Stop right there! You're under arrest for breaking into the castle!"(Guard 1)

Isn't that Nifl's voice? But why is she being chased? Did she d-

*Crash woosh tackle*

"Oof! *falls*"(Rina)

"*Teary-eyed* Master please help me! I-I was just doing what you said and then they started chasing me!"(Nifl)

"Stop right there! You have be- *Blush*"(Guard 1)

"*Glare* Look away if you don't want to die where you stand."(Rina)

"*Turns around* (Scared) I-I had no idea that the lady was naked in her r-room."(Guard 1)

(Pissed) This damn pervert was just checking me out!

{Hey Rina, calm down a bit.} (Snow)

No! He was just ogling my body like a pervert!

{Rina, I don't think he was trying to do that.} (Snow)

You don't know Snow. I felt that disgusting gaze as soon as he saw my body.

{Haa, you're not going to listen, are you?} (Snow)

No, not at all. He was just ogling so no.

{Haa, you've been in a bad mood recently.} (Snow)

It's not my fault people keep putting me in a bad mood.

{Fine, then how about you put a shadow wolf in his shadow and then we'll know which of us is right.} (Snow)

Fine. I've been needing to give some names, so I'll name the strongest shadow wolf and make him the leader of the shadow wolves.

{That's not a bad idea.} (Snow)

Of course not. We learned strategy and tactics from Master. So, I should be able to at least do this.

[Summon: highest level shadow wolf]

*Flash*

"*Bow* You called your majesty?"(?)

"Wh- you know what, I don't care. It's your lucky day. You're getting a name and you'll be leading the shadow wolves under me."(Rina)

"(Shocked) Truly!?"(?)

"Mhm. You can also raise your head. The name I shall give you is [Shade]. You shall be the leader of all the shadow wolves under me and your status is equal to Kear's. You shall only take orders from me unless I say otherwise. Am I understood?"(Rina)

"I will follow your majesty's words even if I have to die!"(Shade)

"*Shakes Head* I wouldn't tell you to die. Now your first mission. Hide in that man's shadow and if he speaks anything vulgar of my body kill him when he's alone and get rid of his body. If you're discovered come straight back to me."(Rina)

"Understood. But how will I understand that man?"(Shade)

"Right. Change shared skill from [Shapeshifting(Humanoid)] to [Language comprehension]."(Rina)

*Ding*

[Skill Language comprehension has been shared with all entities in the clan.]

"You should be able to understand humanoid language now."(Rina)

"Understood. Then I'll go complete my mission."(Shade)

He then sank into the shadows.

"You."(Rina)

*Stiffens*

"Leave me and inform a maid I need their help. *Glare* And if you dare speak of what you saw *Releases killing intent* you're dead, understood?"(Rina)

"*Shivers* B-But I-I have t-to ar-rrest the i-intruder."(Guard 1)

*shick thump cccrrr*

I then shot an ice spike that grazed his cheek and ended up freezing the wall in front of him.

"Leave."(Rina)

"(Terrified) Y-Yes! *Dash*"(Guard 1)

I then looked down at Nifl who was still cowering in my chest.

"(Annoyed) *Scratches ear* That's enough! Get off me already!"(Rina)

"*Sniffle* you're so mean Master. I was just attacked and you're just pushing me away."(Nifl)

"(Annoyed) *Scratches ear* Nifl stop. I'm already in a bad mood as it is. I don't need you making it worse."(Rina)

"Master are you on your period?"(Nifl)

"(Shocked) Wha-What!? Um no I don't think so. I- um what's a period?"(Rina)

"It's basically where you get a lot of cramps, gets really irritable, and start to bleed down there."(Nifl)

"(Embarrassed) N-No. Th-That's never happened.

*Scratches ear* Just everything is starting to get annoying, and I don't know why."(Rina)

"Hmm, ma-"(Nifl)

"My la- you need new clothes again don't you."(?)

"*Look's up* (Embarrassed) Yes. I ended up growing again."(Rina)

"*Sigh* I'll go get some new clothes."(?)

"Can you order some clothes that can change size as well as transform?"(Rina)

"Yes, I can. But you do know that those types are even more expensive, and you weren't given enough money."(?)

"Is there anyone who can do it?"(Rina)

"Yes, but as I said you don't have enough money."(?)

"How much are they?"(Rina)

"10 gold coins for a set."(?)

"(Shocked) *Scratches ear* What!? They're that expensive!? Don't my usual clothes only cost 20 silvers for a set!?"(Rina)

"That is correct. But the reason they are so expensive is because the materials needed are in short supply."(?)

"What's the material they need?"(Rina)

"It's, horned bear hide. They said that they use it because it's sturdy and can handle the enchantments."(?)

"How many sets of clothes could they make and how expensive would it be if I bring the material?"(Rina)

"Well, with your size and all. 2 outfits for 1 horned bear. As for the cost I'd say 40-50 silver. Why ask? Don't tell me you plan to hunt one."(?)

"No, no, I don't plan on hunting one."(Rina)

*Sigh*

"I already have one."(Rina)

"What!? (Worried) Why would you go after something so dangerous!"(?)

"Ouch, lower your voice. And I did so because I was forced to. Anyway, I'll leave the bear and clothes to you so go buy them."(Rina)

"I understand but, how are you going to get it there and not be seen naked?"(?)

"*Sigh* Call someone who can process the body to the courtyard. I'll take it out then and leave you to do the rest."(Rina)

"That still doesn't explain the naked part."(?)

"I'll just go in wolf form."(Rina)

"Oh, right you could do that. I'll go get someone to process the body so wait at the courtyard."(?)

"See you there."(Rina)

And with that, she left.

"Master, are you going now?"(Nifl)

"Yep, anything you need?"(Rina)

"No. But could you take me with you?"(Nifl)

"Sure, you can tag along."(Rina)

"(Happy) Ok."(Nifl)

*Flash*

*Stretch*

Aaaahhhh. How I missed this form.

*Swish Swish Swish*

It just feels right.

Hm? Did my wolf form grow too? I guess I've been going through a growth spurt or whatever Master called it. But getting any taller and getting through doors will be annoying.

Meh, that's a problem for future me to deal with.

--------------------------------------------------------------(One delivery later)

Hmhmhm.

"What's got you in such a good mood today?"(Ella)

{I don't know. (Happy) But it feels like all the stress of the past month has gone away.}(Rina)

"Well, it's good to see you so happy but, why exactly are you in my office, and who's the maid next to you?"(Ella)

{I've come for some pets since I'm in a good mood. And the girl is Nifl a Dragonoid I formed a contract with.}(Rina)

"(Surprised) You usually hate when I pet you and when I do you complain saying, it makes your head feel weird."(Ella)

{Well, if you don't want t-}(Rina)

"*Appears in front* I never said that. I just said you usually hate it when I do."(Ella)

{*Lays down on side* Then you are free to r- *Scratch scratch* aaaahhhh.}(Rina)

*Thumpthumpthumpthump*

"Your fur seems to have gotten softer as you grew. Heh, you seem to be enjoying this."(Ella)

*Scratch scratch rub rub*

*Thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump*

Aaaaaahhhhh. It feels so great. I haven't felt this good in a month.

{A little lower. Lower. Right there!}

*Thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

{I'm goanna nap here do what you want.}(Rina)

{Yes, Master.}(Nifl)

*Soft snoring*

"Heh even though you've grown. You still just pass out whenever I pet you. Well, it's not like you didn't ask me too so whatever."(Ella)
