"I believe this is where we left it," she said looking around at the area below the hill Yumiko woke up at.
"There it is"
Sumay found what she was looking for, the ogre that they first encountered at the beginning. The Oger was in the same place, on its back but It was rotting a little.
Oh, it started to rot, master wouldn't want it anymore… I'll have to get her something else.
A few hours later. Sumay went around the forest killing monsters, 3-headed wolves, orgs and ogres, hobgoblins and a giant frog. The sun was starting to come out.
"The sun is rising, I can go now. I don't have anything to put these in but I have the gems," Sumay said.
Sumay looked at the monsters she killed with a nonchalant countenance, she had put them all in a pal on top of each other.
"I'll come back later for them with Master"
She started to leave but a rock beside her started to move. It was a troll, like the one Yumiko beat but bigger, Sumay noticed it.
A Troll? I don't have time for this- Sumay thought then the troll attacked her, she dodged by jumping to the left, leaving her sword on the ground, 'Before morning' were her orders… I still have time, I'll just have to make this quick.
Sumay was still in the air, with her hands together, "Heavens above let my enemies know your wrath, show them the light beyond the tunnel, holy light," she said, then pushed her hands out, forming a small triangle with them, to the troll.
A bright golden light beam shot at the troll and it crumbled into small stones, one of the stones was shining. It was the gem, Sumay fell to the ground, landing on her feet. She walked to it and picked up the gem.
She then went back through the forest, the village to the inn, went into the room and showered off all the monster blood on her. She then went to Yumiko's bedside, the sun was out and it was 6:00, she stood by and saw Yumiko sleep for an hour then woke her.
"Master, it's morning. Time to get up" Sumay said to Yumiko.
Yumiko was sleeping peacefully, the sun shone on her face, and she looked as beautiful as ever. She started to open her eyes slowly, then turned her head and saw Sumay.
"Good morning, master," she said with her right hand to her chest as she slightly bowed.
Beautiful… but not as beautiful as me, I am gorgeous. "Morning," Yumiko said as she moved the sheets from her body and then sat up.
"How was your sleep, master?"
"Good"
Yumiko got up and ready for the day so they could go to the guild. She dispelled Sumay's sword before they left. Sometime later, at the guild hall's front desk.
"Hello, again, Xavier" Yumiko said with a smile and a wave as she walked to his desk with Sumay following behind.
"Hello to you too, Yumiko and hello Sumay" Xavier replied.
"Hello and good morning, Mr. Tayler," Sumay said.
"One second, I'll get your IDs" Xavier went under his desk where there was a drawer and took out the ID, "There you are," he said as he slid a flat wooden card with writing across the desk.
Yumiko Shiwoka Rank: E
Level: 25 Class: Summoner
Power level: 320
Adventures Guild of Mikudo Village
Sumay Nexus Rank: D
Level: 82 Class: Holy Maiden Summon
Power level: 1,095
Adventures Guild of Mikudo Village
As Xavier slid the IDs to them, Yumiko took up both as soon as she saw them.
Her power level is so high, what's mine?.. Mine is only in the 300s. How am I the master here? Well, yeah, I am beautiful and smart but she is much stronger than me. Didn't she say a summon is only as strong as their summoner? Then how did I summon her- actually, how does this summoning thing work?
"Master"
"Hm?" Yumiko said as she stopped looking at the IDs and looked at Sumay.
"May I have my ID?"
"Oh, yeah," she said with a smile, then gave Sumay her ID card.
"I didn't know you had a last name"
"I don't, master. Yesterday, Xavier took me to the room with statues, so I may have my own ID like you wanted"
Yesterday, after Xavier treated Yumiko, he asked her if Sumay could follow him somewhere. In the room of statues, they stand at the orb. "Sumay, place your hand out," Xavier said, then Sumay put her right hand out with her sword in the other. For Sumay he saw her name, level, title and class.
Name: Sumay Level: 82
Title: Holy Maiden Class: B-rank Summon
Place of Origin: Nexus
"I need a last name but Summons don't normally have last names. I need to put something, so what do you want your name to be?"
"I'll have to ask my master"
"That's not necessary, just come up with one," he said as he lightly shook his head with his eyes closed.
"Nexus, it is the name of my homeland," she said looking down.
Back in the present. "Now that you have your IDs, you can start doing quests," Xavier said, then turned to the notice board, stepped closer to it and took a notice off it, "How about this one?"
He placed the notice on his desk. Yumiko took it up and looked at it for a second.
"A quest to find a cat?" Yumiko said with a smile but a condescending tone, Sumay slightly leaned over and also looked at the note Xavier gave them.
"Yeah… Oh but it isn't just any cat, it's a monster cat, a beast tamer lost it" Xavier replied happily.
A cat? Really? What is this beginner's quest for some bad fantasy LN? And the person is only offering 3 silver coins, Yumiko thought, annoyed.
She then sled the notice back across Xavier's desk.
"Ah, do you have anything else, something that pays more?" She asked with her hand on Xavier's desk, looking sassing but sweet.
"Well, yeah but this is going to be your first time on a quest, so you should try something easy. You can check the board for something more to your liking," he said in a soft tone and a smile.
Yumiko went to the board, Sumay followed. One of the notices caught her attention, she took it from the board and went back to Xavier. It was a notice for an E-rank dungeon with a map of a forest with a symbol of a gate.
"What about this one?" Asked Yumiko as she showed him the quest, she was interested in.
"Okay but it doesn't pay, you just get to keep whatever you find. You can sell it to the guild if you don't want it. The location is on the back of the notice," he said looking at the notice, then gave it back.
Sometime later back at the market, they're passing some food stalls, selling cooked meat.
"Ohh, we should get some, It looks good and I didn't eat any of the food Mari made last night. Do you have the money?" Yumiko asked, looking at the steel then at Sumay as they stopped walking.
"Yes, master"
Sumay took up the bag of gold that was strapped to her waist. Yumiko went to a stall selling skewered meat with pepper and other vegetables.
"Two, please," she said with a smile.
The men selling took two skewers off the grill and gave Yumiko them, Sumay paid with a copper coin. They then continued walking and Yumiko started eating.
Yumiko's eyes widened, "This is good," she said, after eating a piece of meat, then gave the other skewer to Sumay.
"Thank you, master. But why do you buy this for me? I don't need to eat"
Instinct, I guess. In my past life, I would be nice to people, so they would do stuff for me. I could make them do pretty much anything if I just smiled and was nice, I am beautiful. Old habits do die hard.
"Master?" Sumay asked Yumiko, looking to the side of her, at Yumiko.
"Oh… I'm not sure," she said looking at her, then in front.
"Hmm. Okay, master" Sumay said, sounding confused but with a blank look.
