A familiar scene.
The sky was shining brightly and a big blue slime was beside me.
My body feels very tired and I have sore muscles all over my back.
The clothes I made back then were now covered in both blood and dirt.
I smell very bad. It stinks.
As I raised my body, I unsummoned the mega slime and it seems that the mega slime and Pegasus is the only one left.
No, there is also a new summon I received. It's called Skill: Summon Puppet (Gemini).
I wanted to see what this puppet looks like but myself is my priority first.
Gazing at my surroundings, I was still in the place where I collapsed last night.
"Did I sleep here till morning...?"
Then, a wolf came to me with a wooden cup in his mouth. It was the wolf the summoner tamed. The wolf gave me water.
"T-thanks." I said as I gently got the thing from the wolf's mouth.
Following next, Alvin's voice came to my back.
"Are you finally awake? What skill did you get?" He asked, taking a seat on the ground in front of me.
Since I smell really bad, I moved back without him noticing.
"It's weapon creation." I answered.
"I see. Is that skill the one you summoned with that 'Holy Sword'?"
"Yeah, sort of." I replied then I stood up while stretching my body.
Weapon creation became an ultimate skill 'Master of Weapon Creation, (Azazel)'— this skill is very useful to me.
Then, I activated that skill. This skill has many parts. It includes armor, shield, sword, bow and many more.
Now, I need a dress or clothes that I can wear to change this cloth I'm wearing now.
Alvin was confused looking at me standing up while stretching my body.
And then as Alvin looked at me, my body suddenly glowed and a white dust and particles covered myself then, a black and white lolita dress appeared in my body.
A white blouse with a sleeve that covers her whole arm, a black gown on the outside and a white inside. With three bows designed and a black corset.
A lolita lace bow also serves as her headband, but actually, rather than accessories for fashion, this headband is part of the armor.
To be precise, this beautiful and elegant 'lolita dress' is not a dress, it's actually an armor made by that skill 'Master of Weapon Creation, (Azazel)'
"Nice armor." Adrein made a comment.
"Oh, you can tell?" I was surprised when he didn't mistake it for a fashionable gown.
"I also have that skill. Mine was called 'Griever's Gleaves' . It can make me dressed in armor but only for a short time."
'Short time?' The dress I'm wearing right now has no time limit. Was it because mine is an ultimate skill?
"Activate Summon! Summon the twins of Zodiac! Gemi—
Grooowwll.
My stomach made an embarrassing noise before I even summoned the puppet.
Alvin looked at me as he was probably trying to stop his laughter inside.
"Shall we eat? Mom made food for us."
The magic circle slowly disappeared since my stomach canceled my skill.
"S-sure. Thank y-you."
I then followed Alvin towards their house. When I looked above my head, the level status disappeared and even my name. My class also disappeared.
'What happened? I thought only the level would disappear? It looks like everything disappeared!' I said inwardly. Gonna asked this to them later.
When we arrived, Alvin made a knock first then he opened the door. When he did, there was a group of people inside the house waiting for us.
It's 10 and one of them seems to be the leader.
"Yo! Arrived huh."
"I'm back with Mareine, uncle."
Uncle? So this man that keeps saying 'Yo!' is his uncle? Anyways, it feels like they're gonna ask me some questions.
'Am I being held hostage here? Hope not.'
Alvin led me to the chair and I took a seat on it. I was sitting opposite to the table where the group was there with Alvin's mom while Alvin himself was standing beside me like a bodyguard.
"Congrats for your level up." The man who seated opposite opened up first. He was big so I assumed him to be the leader.
"Thanks."
The man looked at me as if he's evaluating me.
"I'm Korben, the leader of this small village."
—And I was right. He was the leader. Since he introduced himself, I did the same to him.
"My name is Mareine. A puppeteer."
"Puppeteer....?"
"...Yes??"
"You are not a puppeteer."
Huh? Puppeteer is my class. What's with him!?
"Mareine right? You are a Marionettist."
"What's that?"
It wasn't just me who got confused. The whole group, even Alvin, didn't know what the leader just said.
"According to my 'Analyze Eye' you are a Marionettist. That class I think is higher than puppeteer." The leader explained.
'Analyze Eye'? Those skills must be the same as my 'Puppeteer's eyes' but that skill has now disappeared.
Wait, disappeared?
I looked at the leader and the information showed up, but it was even more precise than before.
「 High Human Warrior
Adventurer rank: D+
Rank: E+
Title: Head of the village
Skill: Ultimate Skill: Lord of titans, (cronus) 」
It turns out that my skill back then 'Eye of Puppeteer' is now involved and has been a part of my Distinctive Special Passive Skill: Marionettist, the controller, (Lucifer).
Taken from the name of a demon, how creepy. The skill seems to be working fine.
"I see. Then I'm a Marionettist. You're also a warrior right?" I also made a remark to him.
"Warrior? The chief is a warrior? I thought he was a swordsman or a dueler?" The people behind him murmured and so Alvin beside me.
"From you to tell my class with a glance, I expected you're powerful no?"
"Ara. Don't exaggerate. I just reached level 10. You are more powerful than me."
The table became silent and the atmosphere went cold.
Then, Spank!— the noise came from Alvin's mother who suddenly appeared and gave a slam to the leader's head using a plank of wood
"Aw! What was that for?!"
"My! What are you doing to a kid! Hora, Mareine, you must be hungry right? Come let's eat!"
The crowd laughed and the intense atmosphere got lifted up.
"Serves you right, dad." Alvin muttered and I was surprised to know that he is the son of the leader of this small village.
