Successful Job 6
4 Days Later
It has been 4 days since Naruto and Mira were given time to relax and they used to the max. Naruto would train Mira during the day, which is training on instincts and control of her magic.
Though not much progress is made, there is certainly an improvement. Her instincts are sharper with a small increase in the control of her magic.
Add that to the magic boost she got from the injection of new souls and form, they are a deadly combination.
Naruto was impressed by her growth and he was sure he would get his spar with Makarov when he saw her.
While they trained during the day, after a bath, they would go out to enjoy the night, Naruto mainly eating at different restaurants and Mira thrashing the men who would try to 'impress' her.
Naruto enjoyed it a lot as in Magnolia, she was respected and feared, in Joya, she is just another girl walking around the capital.
He even suggested accepting one of them to see what happens only to receive a punch to the gut, which he escaped.
After 4 days, they were finally called again to the Board headquarters and Naruto and Mira were eager to oblige. It's been almost 3 weeks since they left Magnolia, while Naruto has experience with leaving home for long periods.
In the Shinobi world and here, Mira didn't have that and she is worried about her siblings. Since Naruto is taking care of Sirius and Loke, who didn't wake up yet, he is not much concerned. As he knew they need rest.
Only Roy was present in the office now as he requested them to sit. "Thank you for your patience," he said with a grateful nod.
"We are pleased to inform you that the inspection was done. Let me tell you, the cut and quality were above what we generally mine.
Some of the workers have informed me that your methods are formidable and I thank you for your effort and help.
Coming back to the topic, everything was stored in small containers, like these." Said Roy, giving Naruto a small cube.
Naruto took it and examined it. It is a small shiny cube with a metallic edge and has so many small runes carved into it. Preservation, enlargement, durability were a few.
He gave it to Mira who examined it curiously and gave it back to Naruto who returned to Roy with a nod.
"As the last objective of your job, you are to deliver these to Magic Council Headquarters at Era." Said Roy. Naruto and Mira nodded.
"Here are the remaining containers. Your payment will be given to you in Era. Have a safe journey ahead," said Roy.
"We at the Board on behalf of Joya, thank you for your help. Naruto Uzumaki and Mirajane Strauss," said Roy with a bow and with one last handshake, Naruto and Mira prepared to leave.
They packed everything and began their journey in the late afternoon. Quite a lot of people came to give them send off and most of them were young males.
"Have a safe journey, Mira, dear,"
"Will miss you, love,"
"Oh, God. What have I done to deserve this," were a few of the more dramatic send offs Mira got when they left.
Naruto held her shoulder in a vice-like grip. If not for that, a small part of Victoria would have been destroyed by Mira as a parting gift.
"You have a lot of admirers, Mira," teased Naruto with a teasing smile as they started flying through Joya to Era.
Mira is keeping up with him unlike when they first began. To train her more, he increased the altitude.
"Only if I can teach them not to annoy me," she said, tightening her knuckles.
"Now, now, Mira. Don't be like that. Poor fellows liked you a lot," said Naruto with the same teasing smile.
"As if you can understand my feelings," she said in an annoyed tone and Naruto smiled in reply. He explained some more ways to improve her speed and also played a game of tag in the air as a test of her speed.
