[Brian POV]I noticed my summon came back down stairs followed by Lucia. They don’t seem extremely happy, so I make a guess, but better to firm it anyway.

  “So, how did it go?” I asked.

  “I ’t cure her. I’m sorry.” Vampire Lady said to me.

  “I see, that’s too bad. Do you know what the problem is?” I asked.

  “Her blood magic is high in level and that makes the curse stronger. I believe Vampire Lord is capable of g it.” My summon told me. “But I’m capable of lessening her symptoms.” She added.

  “Permaly? Or for a short time?”

  “Only for around three days.” She said.

  “I see. In that case I’ll leave you with Lucia, if you don’t mind.” I said to my summon.

  “No. You ’t do that.” Lucia argued.

  “I’m fih it, Master.” Vampire Lady gave her permission.

  “It’s the best option.” I told Lucia. “With that you keep your curse in chetil I get a stronger vampire that fully cure you.”

  “But you’ll lose a summon.” She argued.

  “Really? That’s what you are worried about? I have enough summons. And in all hoy, Vampire Lady doesn’t have the bat strength of some of my other ones. She would likely be just a glorified blood drainer.” I told Lucia. “No offense.” I added as I turned my eyes to Vampire Lady.

  “Non taken, Master. I know I ’t match up to the power Master’s other summons have.” She answered.

  Well, now with a Blue-Eyes in my arsenal, I really don’t know what monster stand a ce. How powerful are S-rank monsters anyway? Blue-Eyes solo one? Or would they be equal in strength?

  Mission: Cure the DhampirsGoal: Cure dhampirs of their blood cursesReward: Grants a random Vampire card for each cured dhampirThis mission is repeatable. You gain the reward only once per person

  Even the system agrees I should do this. With that I know I’m right. System is Law. System is God.

  After that, I unsummon Vampire Lady and gave her card to Lucia.

  “But,” She was trying tue.

  “Just give in.” I told her. “You won’t win this argument. Unless you want to leave your party and live with me, I won’t leave this house without you taking this card.”

  I probably would actually leave, but I try these underhaactibsp;

  “Fine, I’ll take it.” She gave in and received the card.

  “Make sure to summon her every day to help you.” I told Lucia. I don’t wao just hold onto that card for nothing.

  “Ok. I will.” She agreed to that part quite easily.

  —

  “Well, I guess there is nothing more here for me to do for today. I’ll be off then.” I said to Lucia and got up from the table to leave.

  “I see. Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then. Please show up at the guild.” She said as I was leaving.

  “Sure. I do that.” I answered.

  With that, I took to the streets.

  —

  The streets were still quiet. I guess people who work outside the walls haven’t returned yet. I think if I make my way straight to the Wat manor, I’ll arrive there by snack time. I hope they won’t mind my intrusion too much.

  On the way, a few people stopped me and thanked me for saving the town. Being famous es with its downsides, I guess.

  As I made it to the manates, the guards greeted me a me in without any questions. Is this really fine?

  At the door, I met with Nicole. So she is up at this time. I really shouldn’t make fun of her. I’m sure she is a hard w individual. Even if she stays up te and wakes up te. A mansion needs nighttime maids. At least I would assume so.

  “Wele back, Lord Brian.” She greeted me.

  “Hello Nicole. I'm back. Are Christina and Alice here?” I responded.

  “Madam and Miss are in the back garden. It is a nice day.” She told me.

  “It sure is. Would it be fine if I join them?” I asked.

  “I’m sure they would enjoy it.” She told me. “Please follow me.”

  Nicole turo walk around the manor. I followed behind her.

  —

  “Brian!” Alice called out when she saw me following Nicole. Christina also turned around to look at me.

  “Hi Alice, I’m back.” I answered.

  “Wele back, sir Brian.” Christina greeted me.

  “Sorry to intrude on your tea time.” I said to the duo.

  “It’s fine. When did you get up?” Christina asked.

  “This m.” I answered. “And after some checks they let me go.”

  “Then why didn’t you e straight here?” Alice asked.

  “I was hanging out with Lucia.” I told her.

  “Why? You should have e straight here.” She argued. Don’t act like a jealous girlfriend.

  “She was the oo do the final chee, so I just ended up going with her.” I told Alice.

  “I should ask Mana to teach me a spell I use to check you up so I do it myself.” Alice argued. Does something like ‘Dark S’ eve? I really have no clue.

  “Stop that you two.” Christina interrupted. “Brian, please sit down. You just got up from a a so don’t over exert yourself.”

  “It wasn’t a a you know.” I said back while I took a seat at the table. By the time I had, a cup of tea was waiting for me. When did they have time to set it out? For baron’s maids, these girls are over specs. They seem like they could be w in a ducal manor.

  “So, how much did you level up?” Alice asked.

  “Twenty levels.” I answered.

  “20? Really? I only got six levels.” She responded. Six is still a lot.

  “Were you fierwards? Did you feel sick?” I asked.

  “I got a little temperature, but it went away after I slept.” She told me.

  “Well, at least one of us got off easy.” I joked and took a sip of tea. I’m not sure which is better, this one or the one made by Lucia. Does Lucia use water magiake the tea that good or is she just talented irahings.

  —

  “Sir Brian, allow me to officially thank you for saving this town.” Christina was bowing before me.

  “Don’t worry about it. I did it because I could.” I told her. “And I didn’t do it alone.”

  “But without you, people wouldn’t have gathered in time.” She said. “You are the reason no one died and no damage was inflicted.”

  “Then you should thank the system. I wouldn’t have known about it without the system mission I got.” I said.

  “Of course I did. But you are the messenger. Without you, we wouldn’t have heard of it before it was too te.” She argued.

  “Just stop. Please.” I tried to hold her back. “I uand you want to thank me and everything, but this is too much. Just say ‘thank you’ like the people in town. It’s enough.”

  “Then I will. Thank you.” Christina said to me.

  “Thank you, Brian.” Alice added.

  “Sure. I would say ‘anytime’, but I really don’t want this town to faother attack.” I responded.

  “Let’s hope we stay safe.” Christina said.

  “Everything will be fine.” Alice added. “As long as Brian is here, nothing hurt us.”

  “I don’t think you should say things like that Alice. It’s called a jinx. You will end up cursing the town. Something will attack as soon as I leave if you keep saying things like that.”

  Now I feel like I’m cursing the town myself. Holy. Why does this town have to have a prophecy about a behemoth? It really will attack as soon as I leave, won’t it?

  Let’s hope not.

  —

  After tea, I went to the guest room I was staying in. Both to rex and try out my telekinesis skill. If it really works like I think it does, it will be super useful.

  (Laura, how should I do this?)

  (You need a practice object first. Something small that won’t break if it falls would be ideal.)

  Something small? And doesn’t break if dropped. Sounds like a job for a card. But who would I let float around?

  Beaver Warrior, do you want to fly? Actually, that’s an order. And it’s just your card that will be flying.

  (So now that I have a ‘willing’ test subject, how do I actually do this?) I asked Laura.

  (Just focus ohing you want to move and how you want it to move. I’ll take care of the mana trol for you.) Laura told me. So she’ll do the difficult part. Good.

  Now, fly!

  I feel the mana moving inside me as I try to have the card achieve liftoff. And a few seds ter, the card is no looug my hand. It’s floating above it.

  Immediate success. Thank you Laura. Now, let’s move it around a bit.

  As I want to move the card to the left, it goes left. I want it to the right, it ght. Seems simple enough. Let’s try to move it faster.

  … It fell. I wasn’t trying to go that fast.

  (Master’s mana trol ’t keep up.) Laura told me.

  (Oh, well I guess then no flying with telekinesis, yet.)

  (I wouldn’t reend it.)

  (And I guess I ’t use it for defense, either.)

  (We will get better with it. Won’t we, Master.) Laura enced me.

  (Of course. Add telekinesis practice to the daily agenda.) I told Laura. This is a skill I should try to master. It seems extremely useful, as soon as my mana keep up.

  I spent a little more time practig with telekinesis and just lounging around, until Nicole came to get me for dinner.
