After leaving Gordon cooking for me so I could grind more Divine Gourmet Essence and level him up, my friends arrived. Rita, Lily, Acorn, Nieve, and even Johanna joined today. Brisingra was nowhere to be seen, but that was fine too. I wouldn't mind leaving her with her mom for as much as she wants, though I'll go check on her later.
"Sooo what with the huge dragon over there?!" Asked Rita. "Is nobody going to ask about it!" She asked while eating a burger.
"I just assumed it was another summon or something, Planta always has a million summons anyways!" Lily giggled.
"Yeah." Acorn nodded. "But now I'm curious, who is he?"
"He's Gordon, a soul-bound gourmet spirit." I said. "I created him just now; he'll help us with cooking... And also fighting too!"
"Yes, yes, I can fight really well!" Gordon roared from the distance.
"See? He's not a temporary summon like always, but a permanent spirit I'll have around at all times." I smiled. "Pretty handy, right?"
"Sounds really convenient! Just how easy are you going to make your life? Sheesh." Rita groaned. "Well, the food is really good, and I got stronger as well~"
"Indeed, I would be lying if I said I didn't come back just to eat the delicious food Lady Planta makes." Johanna nodded. "Though, I also came to help. I told my Granny I was done with the dungeon raid, and I thought she would let me slack off- I mean, concentrate on my meditation and cultivation of my Nature Soul, but she told me I hadn't done anything worth mentioning! And sent me back to help..."
"Hahaha! Serves you right, you brat!" Rita laughed. "You're going to help in anything you can then!"
"Ugh..." Johanna groaned. "A-At least the food is good."
"Please be more respectful of my liege..." Nieve said, staring at Johanna with a dead stare.
"Why should I?!" Johanna barked back. "What with that stare? Wanna go?"
"..." Nieve remained in silence, and slowly began to unsheathe her rapier.
"Wait, wait, come on, be nicer to each other!" I sighed. "I thought you girls got along a bit better after the dungeon raid... Guess not completely yet."
"I apologize..." Nieve said.
"Bleh..." Johanna shrugged. "So what are we going to do now?"
"We were planning on infiltrating the magician tower today." I said. "So I don't think we'll need your help, Johanna."
"Oh? Nice! Then I can just go back home and-"
"However, I appreciate your grandma for sending you here to help! So how about you help me on forging more weapons? You'll get stronger too, gaining EXP from making items and also new skills, so it's a win-win, right?" I asked.
"Eh?!" She screamed. "Wait... No, I can reject that offer, right?" Find more to read at m_v l|-NovelFire
