8. LEVEL UP

BEAST FOREST

POV HYAKKI

Now that I have the summon hunting will be easier, "OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE" shouted Kira as she hugged one and started to cuddle it,

how can they be cute they are oversized ghostly dogs "Now that I think of it how are going to travel inside the city if you create an army" asked Kira "There's no problem with that I have a skill that lets me store all my summons in sub-space storage like an inventory" I answered her she let go the wolf and asked me "Now what do we do?" "We will separate for a moment and go hunting, to get experience and level up. It's morning now let's meet at the forest entrance at sunset" "Wait we don't have potions with us, are sure that you have enough mana for this hunting" asked Kira we don't have money with us so we couldn't buy them, for me there will be no problem but for Kira it will be a bit harder "You don't have to worry for me, I have this Item remember?" I say to her gesturing to my necklace.

"I already recovered my mana when I killed the wolves, you should worry about yourself, just to be safe I'll lend you one of these wolves," I said while one wolf got next to her "Thank you, then see you later" I went to one direction while she went another.

After some minutes I encountered 5 wild wolves, they were growling at us and were ready to attack. But I gave a mental order to my soul minions (Go attack them) they got on the offensive immediately and attacked the 2 wolves each. They did a pretty good job even though they were outnumbered, the remaining wolf in the meantime tried to attack me by the side but I expected it so I used my shortsword and pierced his head killing it

SOME HOUR LATER

BEAST FOREST

It was sunset now when I reached the entrance of the forest I saw Kira there waiting while petting the soul wolf, when I got near the wolf went in front of me and lowered his head like he was bowing I stretched my hand toward his head and said "Good job, you can return" then all the wolves dissolved like fire blew from the wind, this skill is really useful.

I checked on Kira to see how it went for her, "So how did it go?" I could already tell, she had a few scratches from head to toe but nothing serious and she seemed tired. "It was a bit hard, but I managed mostly thanks to your minion, so thank you Hyakki"

she said it with a smile that made me really happy and when she was smilling I thought she was very cute...

WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?! WHY DID I THOUGH SHE WAS CUTE?! WHY I FELL MY FACE BURNING?! WHY I FELL MY HEART RACE LIKE IN A CAR RACE?!

"Hyakki are ok?" "huh" I look to see Kira face a few centimeters from mine I was getting very nervous stepped back a bit and looked on the other direction, "I-I-It`s nothing don`t worry"I say to her stuttering a bit "ehhhhhh" I look at her to see she smirking "It wouldn`t be that you are starting to feel something for me?" "N-N-N-No t-t-that`s not case. Changing subject what level are you now?" I asked her trying to change the conversetion, and semmed to work "I reached level 5. It was a bit diffulcult Butt I`m getting the hang of it"

"It' better if we start moving it' getting dark here." I said to as I summoned 2 of my soul wolves "Theres a city near here we will be quicker with the wolves" I said to her she nodded, we mounted on the wolves and started to go in the city.

When we arrived it was already dark but before entering the city we dismounted from the wolves and I desumoned them, we started searching for place were to sleep until we found a Tavern that was still open, we went inside and we were welcomed by a couple 1 men and 1 woman "welcome to our tavern" said both at the same time then they presented themself. "I'm Albert and this is my wife Ness" "Hi I'm Ness and welcome to our Tavern do you by any chance need a room for the night" asked the woman and I answered her "Yes we would like a room for the night, but we don't have money with us now. We promise to give you all the money needed tommorw" I said to them "That's okay dear, theres no need to rush but can you give us your names so we can do the check in" said Ness then we presented ourself to them "I'm Hyakki, thank you for the hospitaliy" "My name is Kira, nice to meet you and thank you for letting us stay here" then Albert said "That's alright, now follow us there's only one room your lucky" they guided us to our room for the night when we reached it they gave us the key to open the door, "Breakfast will be served from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning, this one is offered by us" said Alfred we thanked him and proceded to open the door then Alfred before leaving with his wife said "Beofre I forgot keep the noise to a minimum and don't break the bed" said before going away chuckling me and Kira didn't understand what it meant but when we entered the room we did...

THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED.
