The strange eyed man was stunned. "What's a Loli?"
Kris's grin suddenly vanished and was replaced by a blank expression, he was most definitely not going to transform any eoman into a Loli because that would be unfair.
So he decided to come up with a distraction. "Look it's the chucrh?!"
He pointed out behind the man which made him and all the cult members look back instinctively as if they have done this multiple times.
When they turned around, Kris,Eskira and Faye were already gone, the breeze slowly moved across the surroundings. "Huh an interesting fellow, I didn't get rid of him"
The man frowned then continued. "A boy won't be a problem to us anyway's, Lord index sorry we were tricked"
The man said with a frown, the air disortered for a second. "Hahah, no need to apologize if we did kill him things in the world won't be as much fun, Little Krane we are the Right hand of the All seeing hand and i am the index finger, that little boy, i sense something interesting about him and his two companions, what you did wasn't bad but i am still disappointed in you all he just mentioned the church's name but which one?!"
A man nodded and silently listened to the scolding voice.
Somewhere in the forest, Kris who has mastered the art of "Running away" was currently sprinting with two loli's in between his hands.
After they were a safe distance a way, he dropped them down and immersed fell flat into the ground, his heart was furiously beating from the life and death situation, this is a lolimancer class yet it seems that no one knows what a loli is.
Faye who was worried about her new master sat near his head and looked at his blank face. "Master, are you alright if you want i can give you a hug"
Kris groaned and internally screamed. "No Faye, i am more angry at the pink dragon"
"eep!!" Eskira said with a small but cute sound which was stabbing more of Kris's nerves, with a sigh he calmed down and then stood from the ground.
with a gloomy turned to look at Eskira. "how do i make a 'pink room'"
She then excitedly stood up. "You have to draw the symbol of a door that has a specific relationship to the loli you will put in, but you would have to use either hair or blood from faye to finish her pink room."
Kris sighed deeply, his head throbbing as he tried to process the increasingly bizarre and unsettling mechanics of his newfound powers. "So I need… hair or blood? Why does everything have to sound so creepy?"
Eskira, still bouncing with excitement, completely missed the dark tone in Kris's voice. "Oh, it's not that bad, master! The pink room will be Faye's sanctuary, where she can rest and recover. It's all part of being a good Lolimancer!"
Kris raised an eyebrow, skepticism dripping from his every word. "A 'sanctuary' that requires hair or blood? How is that even remotely normal?"
Faye, sitting beside him, tilted her head. "Master… if it helps, I don't mind giving you a strand of my hair." Her innocent eyes blinked up at him, and Kris felt a pang of guilt.
Kris sighed again, feeling the weight of his strange responsibilities grow heavier with every passing minute. "Alright, fine. Let's just get this over with."
He looked around the forest, finding a stick to use as a makeshift pen. Drawing on the forest floor, he etched the symbol Eskira had described, though it looked more like random scribbles to him. He turned to Faye. "I guess… I just need a strand of your hair?"
Faye nodded, her small fingers gently pulling a single strand of her soft white hair free. She handed it to Kris with a shy smile. "Here, master."
Kris hesitated for a moment, staring at the hair in his hand. This whole situation still felt utterly absurd, but he had no choice but to keep moving forward. With a resigned sigh, he placed the hair in the middle of the symbol.
As soon as the hair touched the drawing, the symbol on the ground glowed with a soft pink light. Kris took a step back as the air shimmered, and a small pink door materialized in front of them, standing alone in the middle of the forest.
Eskira clapped her hands in delight. "You did it, master! Faye's pink room is ready!"
Kris stared at the door, his mind still struggling to catch up. "So… this is it? Her room?"
Faye's eyes lit up with excitement as she ran toward the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob and looked back at Kris. "Can I open it, master?"
Kris nodded, waving her forward. "Yeah, go ahead."
Faye opened the door, revealing a cozy, pastel-colored room inside. It looked like something straight out of a fairy tale, with soft cushions, stuffed animals, and a small bed in the corner. The room radiated an inviting warmth, a stark contrast to the dark forest outside.
Kris scratched his head, feeling a mix of relief and confusion. "Well… at least it's not as creepy as I thought it would be."
Faye spun around in delight, her rabbit ears twitching with joy. "Thank you, master! It's perfect!"
Eskira beamed with pride. "See, master? Being a Lolimancer isn't so bad, is it?"
Kris gave her a flat look. "I'm still not convinced, but… at least Faye seems happy."
Then the door closed and disappeared, Kris flinched and slowly turned to Eskira with a plain expression. "What just happened?"
Eskira yelped and immediately started ti explain. "Master don't worry, the pink room put Loli's who are exhausted to sleep and it also freshen them up from exhaustion and sicknesses, it also makes them adapt to their new situation and get comfortable"
Kris sighed and rubbed his temples, feeling the constant pressure of his new reality. "Great… so she's just gone until she's rested and ready to go again? And I assume this is permanent?"
Eskira nodded cheerfully. "Yes, master! Once a loli enters the pink room, they come out fully refreshed, but they can't leave until they're completely recovered."
Kris couldn't help but feel a little relieved, though he would never admit it out loud. At least Faye would be safe inside the room, and he wouldn't have to worry about her getting hurt in battle,at least not yet. "Well, I guess that buys me some time to figure out what to do next."
Eskira hummed then thought of something. "Master, you're currently a weak level person that hasn't learn any spells, so i am going to teach you some basic lolimancer spells and arts that can be helped in fighting than letting your loli's fight"
Kris thought for a moment, 'they can't be that bad can they?'
"fine why not" he said as he felt he has already gone too deep and there is no turning back.
Eskira suddenly held a ruler, who knows where she got that from and then a black..board.
"…Where did you get that from" Kris asked speechlessly.
"Drqgon Conjuration magic of course," Eskira said with a playful grin, tapping the blackboard with the ruler. "Now, Master, let's start with the fundamentals of Lolimancer combat spells!"
Kris just stared, unsure of whether to laugh or cry. "Of course… dragon conjuration magic. Sure. Why not?" He muttered under his breath, feeling the ridiculousness pile up. But he waved her on, knowing he had no choice but to learn.
Eskira excitedly scribbled on the blackboard, drawing strange symbols that looked like a mix between cute doodles and arcane runes. "The first thinh your learning us art…uhm different from the Punishments art, This art allows you to borrow skills from your loli's"
Kris raised an eyebrow, trying to make sense of what Eskira was saying. "Borrow skills? What do you mean by that?"
Eskira spun around, beaming with excitement. "It's called Loli Synchronization! When you activate this art, you sync with one of your lolis, and you can temporarily use their abilities! Think of it like a shared power, but only for a short period of time."
Kris's eyes narrowed. "So… I can use Faye's agility, for example?"
Eskira nodded eagerly. "Exactly, master! And when Faye's out of her pink room, you can sync with her to increase your speed or enhance your reflexes in combat. Each loli has different talents you can borrow depending on their nature."
Kris groaned inwardly, already imagining the chaos this could lead to. "And let me guess, there's a catch?"
Eskira grinned sheepishly. "Well, there's a small cooldown after using the skill, and the stronger the ability, the shorter the duration. But don't worry, master! As your bond grows, you'll be able to use their powers for longer periods of time!"
Kris leaned against a tree, trying to absorb this latest absurdity. "So, if I sync with Faye, I get faster and more agile. What about you?"
Eskira puffed out her chest proudly. "I'm a pink dragon, so if you sync with me, you'll get access to my dragon breath for a short burst of fire power! It's perfect for tough enemies!"
Kris blinked in disbelief. "Fire breath? I can breathe fire?"
Eskira nodded enthusiastically. "Yup! But remember, it's only temporary. You'll need to time it carefully."
Kris sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Alright, alright. Let's just focus on survival for now. I'm not sure when we'll need dragon breath or Faye's agility, but I'll keep it in mind."
Eskira clapped her hands. "Great, master! You're doing so well for a beginner!"
Kris rolled his eyes. "Ok go on, how do i activate this art"
Eskira scratched the back of her head while giving him a smile that showed her white sharp pearly teeth at him. "Master we loli's would have to kiss you on your cheeks"
Kris's eyes widened in horror. "Wait… what?"
Eskira nodded, still smiling innocently. "It's the key to activating Loli Synchronization! It forms a temporary bond between us and transfers our powers to you. But don't worry, master, it's just a quick kiss on the cheek!"
Kris rubbed his face, feeling the absurdity of the situation piling up once again. "You've got to be kidding me. There's no other way?"
Eskira shook her head, her expression turning serious for the first time. "No, master. This is how it's always been done. A kiss is the quickest way to sync our energies."
Kris groaned loudly, rubbing his temples. "This… this just keeps getting worse."
Eskira looked at him, her eyes filled with innocent confusion. "Master, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's purely for combat! Nothing else!"
Kris shot her a glare. "Yeah, except I'm the one who has to explain this if anyone ever sees it."
Eskira gave him a sympathetic look but quickly brightened up again. "Look on the bright side, master! You'll have dragon breath and enhanced speed! It's a fair trade!"
Kris muttered under his breath, "I'm not sure that makes it any better…"
Suddenly frim the fround emerged a pink door, Faye whi has been gone for a while opened the door and immediately showed her appearance. "Master i feel much better~"
Kris looked at Faye as she stepped out of the pink door, her new outfit a soft pastel color that matched the whimsical, fairy-tale aesthetic of the room she had just come from. Her rabbit ears twitched with excitement as her fluffy tail wagged lightly behind her.
Kris raised a hand, still feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending absurdity of his situation. "Faye, I-" he paused, unsure of what to even say. "You're… back. And… new clothes, I see."
Faye smiled up at him, her eyes wide with innocence. "Yes, master! The pink room made me feel all better, and these clothes are much comfier for adventuring!"
Eskira was bouncing on her toes. "See, master? The pink room is amazing! Now Faye's all rested and ready to fight if we need her. And don't forget, you can use Loli Synchronization to borrow her agility!"
Kris groaned again, rubbing his face. "Right… Loli Synchronization. Eskira was just telling me about that." He paused, his eyes narrowing at Eskira. "But the whole kiss-on-the-cheek thing is non-negotiable, isn't it?"
Faye blinked in confusion. "Kiss? What kiss?"
Eskira quickly stepped in to explain. "It's how we sync our powers with Master Kris. It's just a little peck on the cheek to transfer our energy."
Faye's eyes lit up with enthusiasm. "Oh, I'd be happy to help, master!" She stepped closer, ready to perform the gesture.
Kris, feeling his face heat up, waved his hands frantically. "Wait, wait! Let's… hold off on that for now. We're not in a battle yet, so there's no need."
