"Seo, at your service, Lord Zeyu!"
She said, winking her eyes with a playful smile.
Flitz and I exchanged confused looks.
"Why... why are you a w-w-woman?" I stammered, barely finding the words.
"What do you mean? If my sex is female, then naturally, I'll be a woman."
Flitz leaned closer to me and whispered, "Lord Zeyu, I think because of your mana, she's manifested a full human form based on her gender."
I looked at him, then turned my gaze back to Seo.
"So... you were a girl all along?"
"Yes," she replied confidently.
Before I could say anything else, she walked up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. Her chest pressed firmly against my face, and I began suffocating between the softness.
"Now, I can finally go with you, Lord Zeyu~," she said in a sultry voice.
Flitz quickly pushed her back and pulled me away.
"First, wear some clothes!" he snapped.
"Oh," Seo replied nonchalantly. She glanced down at her exposed body, then smirked at me.
"Lord Zeyu~ do you like this kind of body?" she teased, flashing a mischievous grin.
Flustered, I turned around and started walking away.
Flitz followed me
"Wait! Nooo, don't leave me behind!" Seo shouted.
Suddenly, her body began to glow. As the light faded, she was dressed in a sleek white ninja outfit with a long blue scarf. Her purple hair was tied into a ponytail, giving her a cool yet adorable look.
I stopped and stared, amazed. (A ninja outfit? That's not something I've seen in this world... I only know it from my past life, where ninjas wore such clothes.)
"Where did you get those clothes?" I asked, still in awe.
"Oh, these? My master used to wear similar outfits. I can create them using cotton art," she explained with a bright smile.
(Cotton art? This is the first time I've heard of a dragon using something like that...)
"Alright, let's head back before it gets too late."
Flitz nodded.
"Follow us," he instructed Seo.
Seo placed a hand on his shoulder and shot him a death glare. "I am Miss Seo to you. And let's get one thing straight—you don't give me orders. I only follow Lord Zeyu's commands."
"Y-y-yes, ma'am," Flitz stuttered, clearly intimidated.
"Seo, stop fighting and just follow us. You don't know the way back," I said.
"Yes, Lord Zeyu~," she chimed, cheerfully skipping after me.
---
By evening, we reached Tsukagi City and headed straight to the quest hall.
"Flitz, can you turn in the tail for the quest?" I asked.
Flitz nodded. "Yes, Lord Zeyu."
Seo raised her hand, and the lizard tail appeared out of thin air, dropping midair into Flitz's arms. He caught it and went to submit it to the quest hall
(Seo can use space inventory… well, she is a Greater Dragon, after all.) i said in my mind
"Seo," I called out to her.
She stopped inspecting the surroundings and turned to me. "Yes, Lord Zeyu?"
"Is it possible to learn space inventory?" I asked.
"Huh? No, it can't be learned. It's either given or taken," she replied.
"I see..." I replied
"Why do you ask? You can use it too, you know," she added casually.
I froze in shock. "Huh? No, I can't."
"Yes, you can," she said firmly, her tone dead serious.
"H-How?"
"After forming a contract the servent recives power energy from their master and the master automatically learns all the servant's abilities. I noticed during our fight that you have some sort of copying ability, so you can already use my ice magic and as well as three more abilities: cotton art, telepathy, and space inventory."
Her explanation left me stunned.
"...Oh. I see..."
Seo suddenly burst out laughing
"You really didn't know? Hahahaha!"
"Shut up! I'm only ten years old! I haven't learned everything yet!" I shouted back, blushing.
After sighing, I asked, "So, how do I use space inventory?"
"Just focus on a spot in front of you and imagine opening the space," she explained.
I tried it immediately, focusing and extending my hand forward. A small white hole appeared in the air.
Seo clapped her hands. "Oh my, you did it on your first try!"
The hole vanished as I looked at her proudly. "Well, it wasn't that hard."
"The size of your space inventory depends on your mana the amount of mana you can have that big the space will be" she added. "Given your mana i see in our battle, I'd guess yours is limitless."
"Limitless?" I repeated in shock.
Flitz returned with a small bag. "Lord Zeyu, the quest is complete, and here's the reward"
He handed me the bag. Without thinking, I opened the space inventory and stored it inside.
Flitz's eyes widened. "Oh, you can use space inventory too, Lord Zeyu?"
"Yeah. Seo taught me how," I replied casually.
Seo's face lit up with pride.
"Let's find an inn for the night," I said.
We wandered through the city until we found a place called "Fountain Inn House"
"This place looks good," I said.
"Indeed. The decorations and quality seem great," Flitz added.
We approached the counter, where a man greeted us.
"Can we book a room for three people?" I asked.
"Yes. That'll be one gold, and you can stay for three days," the man replied.
(One gold... Not bad) I said in my mind
I discreetly took out a gold coin from my space inventory and handed it over. The man gave me a key.
"Your room is number 16," he said.
I take the key and we headed to the room and opened the door. It was clean, well-furnished, and had two beds.
Flitz tried to say something speak, but Seo interrupted.
"Flitz can sleep alone. I'll sleep with Lord Zeyu," she declared.
I blinked in surprise.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind.
"Sir Zeyu, can you hear me?"
I froze looking around
(Who's there?) I replied
"It's me, Eli"
(Oh, it's you...) I replied
"I have talked about you with God father and as we agree, you'll be brought to the Realm of the Gods tomorrow. Be prepared" she informed me
(I see. Alright I'll be there) I replied
The voice faded, and Flitz asked
"What's wrong, Lord Zeyu?"
"Oh, it's nothing," I replied.
(Becoming a god, huh? I'll deal with that tomorrow...)
