We stood in front of the cave's entrance while Aria attempted to put the fabric on herself. Also, people were leaving and entering this area.
Aria: "Is this, okay?" *She eventually covered her eyes.
Yugo: "What did I do right now?" *I suddenly petted Ayla's head. She was shocked but she said nothing. Myra simply stalked me as a result, her face expressionless.
Aria: "What did you do? How am I supposed to know?"
Yugo: "That's good. I just want to confirm that you did not see anything."
Aria: "Hmmm, I don't see anything. It's just pure dark."
*Bzzzzt! *Bzzzzt!
Near us, there is a sudden vibrational sound. It came from Myra.
Myra: "Ah... Wait a minute, I get a call." *She takes the phone out of her pocket.
Myra: "Yes?" *She puts the phone on her right ear as she raises her right hand and places it on the ear.
...
Myra: "No, I'm fine. I was going to the dungeon with Yugo and the others."
...
Myra: "Yea... Bye." *She puts the phone back in her pocket after lowering her hand and closing it.
Ayla: "Who is it?"
Myra: "You know it. It's just my father."
Aria: "Did he ask for something?"
Myra: "Just asking how is my day. Nothing to worry about it, let's just enter the dungeon before getting late." *She started to move forward.
Ayla: "Wait me, Myra..." *She tries to catch up with her before walking behind her and hiding.
Yugo: "Yea... It's about too late."
Not sure what we will face later. Hopefully something interesting. *I started to move forward.
Ayla: "Ummm... You did not forget about something, right?"
Yugo: "Ah..." *I forgot.
I then take hold of her hand with my left and carefully guide her toward the entrance to the dungeon. We continued down the stair step by step. The stairs are composed of dirt.
Aria: "Don't walk faster... I'm scared I slipped." *She moves slowly while still holding my hand in both of her hands.
Yugo: "I already walk very slowly."
Aria: "You're not, Yugo! Ah-" *She suddenly lost her balance and missed the stair step. Her body was becoming unsteady.
Yugo: "Wuppss..." *I swiftly reach up and grab her tummy with my right hand.
Yugo: "You, okay?" *While holding her left waist with my left hand this time, I lowered my right hand from her stomach.
Aria: "U-Umm... Yea, thanks."
Yugo: "Okay-" *She caught my left hand as I tried to lower it toward her waist by grabbing it with her right hand.
Aria: "Wait. Ke-Keep it like that, it's more comfortable." *She lowered her hand as I placed my left hand back on her left waist.
Yugo: "Ummm..."
Myra: "Cih..." *She notices it and appears perturbed by it. Ayla was perplexed by what had just happened.
Yugo: "That's not my fault, but sorry."
The cave staircase took a right bend as we continued to descend the stair. After a few steps of making a U-bend, the stair halted as we turned to the right. A few steps forward and in front of us, we can see another cave opening.
We were moving outside as we walked. It turns out that we had only descended a small distance from where we had seen a group of trees from above. We had just arrived. This area appears black due to the light that eventually became what was probably a sunset. The road is lit up by several torches, but we can hardly see what is in front of us.
Myra: "Hmmm... I can't see where we are now."
Ayla: "I think this is a forest where we see when we are above there before."
Yugo: "Yea, the way the stair just ended shortly is make more sense."
Aria: "I could not see anything though." *My left-hand remains on her left waist as I continue to lead her.
Yugo: "Ah... I got an idea... Can you cast a fire surface for me?" *I stopped walking and lowered my left hand. The girl halted their stroll and focused on me.
Aria: "Fire surface?"
Yugo: "Yea. Something small that can last long on the surface, I want to try something."
Aria: "Hmmm... Yea... I could do it." *She then raises her left hand.
Aria: "... Fireweaver." *Her left hand is holding the weapon. The book is distinct from the other books I've seen in training. It was floating on her left hand and firing at the edge.
Wait we can have two different weapons?
System: "Yes. You could. Like Myra, you were able to control two weapons simultaneously."
Ah... Right, I remembered it.
System: "But some weapons are ineffective. A two-handed weapon is the name of it."
Two-handed?
System: "Yes. You must study and comprehend the weapon kind because you cannot see it."
Aria: "Hmmm... I think this magic should work."
Aria: "Where should I aim my weapon?"
Yugo: "A little bit right... That's it, it's should be fine." *I assist her by shifting her left hand just a tiny bit to the right.
Aria: "Alright... Fire Burn." *Suddenly, a little white circle with a familiar-looking shooting rune in the center appears. The circle was perched above the surface. Suddenly, a fire emerged above the circle, and the circle vanished simultaneously.
Ayla: "The road is burning..."
Okay, I need to be quick... Ummm... Saying the magic word, right? Okay. Look at the fire... Then.
Yugo: "Conjuration of Summoner." *Then, out of nowhere, something appears directly above the fire that Aria started. It was a creature of my magic. However, this time the creature's body is engulfed in flames.
Creature: "Hwagk!" *It then turns to look to the right and the left. The monster has a scorching fire running through its entire body but somehow doesn't seem to be in agony.
I looked at the firing thing and blinked my left eye swiftly at the same moment. The system arose out of nowhere.
Yugo: "Hooo... It works." *As a result of the creature's body producing a fire, we could see farther around us.
Yugo: "Hmmm... I probably invest it right now." *I pushed the plus sign (+) key.

Myra: "I've never seen something like this before. This is genius."
Ayla: "That's cool, master. We can see the road clearly right now."
Aria: "Did the monster near me?" *Aria hid behind me out of fear.
Yugo: "Aah no... If you feel something hot approaching, that was the creature."
Aria: "Just don't let it come close to me, you promise me this before." *As she says it, she pulls my back shirt.
Yugo: "Yea, sure."
Yet, I want to...
System: "Don't do that, please. If you do that, I have a feeling she won't return."
Yea... You right.
Creature: "Hwagk?" *The beast looked at me with its head turned. At the same moment, the ground-burning fire is put out.
Ayla: "I think the creature tries to talk with you, master."
Yugo: "Hmmm... Could you walk and lead us by following the road? So we can see the road clearly."
Creature: "Hwagk!" *The creature's head is nodding before quickly leaning left and right.
As I was saying that, the monster started to walk.
Yugo: "Oi... Not that way. The other way."
Aria: "Hiii!!... Is it nearing me?"
Yugo: "No, don't worry."
The thing turned around and started moving once more.
Hooo... It works. The creature knows my language... Even though it seems to look a little bit confusing. Or probably the creature's brain is just small...
System: "No. The command you gave was unclear, which is why it confused me. And that is how it is supposed to work. And only listening to their master's voice."
Hoo... I see...
Then we began following the beast. On our back, we could see individuals from the opposite side of the road traveling by the road and toward the cave. They were shocked since they had never seen the creature I had called.
"What is that?" *Man voice.
"I never seen something like that before." *Other man's voice.
"Well, I bet Urame sensei's magic can make something more powerful than that one." *Girl's voice.
"Yea, that's obviously for sure." *Other girl's voice.
Of course, I would lose if I duel with Urame sensei... She was more expert. *With a blank expression and continue moving.
Aria: "Yu-Yugo? Are you okay?" *She spoke softly so that no one could hear her. She was worried about how I was feeling.
Yugo: "Hm? Aa I'm fine. Don't worry." *As I also expressed it quietly.
After a few steps forward, suddenly the creature stopped.
Creature: "Hwagk!"
Yugo: "Hm? What is wrong?"
Ayla: "Ano... There was, an enemy."
From here, I could see a slow-moving black slime emerging from the shadow and approaching the creature. The slender body had an oval shape from the middle to the top and a nearly square shape on the other half. They have what appears to be a spider web at the bottom of their bodies, although it is also black. The web acts as if it were dragging the slime body as it moved.
