'Master is taking too long to come back'
Yumeha was on top of Enrico's bed, it was already Sunday turning into night and to make things worse she hadn't seen any sign of anyone entering Astrong from the window, from the room it was possible to see both the gate and the path to the training field.
'I can't stop worrying, I don't even know if he's safe… I need to get stronger somehow'
Getting into a meditation position she closed her eyes, even though her master had sacrificed his circle, she felt that there had been a huge improvement in her circle even if she didn't know exactly what it was.
'My master said he would explain so I just have to wait like always'
Ever since she felt that, she also felt she could create another Yokai, she had waited until now because she was thinking about what kind to create.
'This will depend on my feelings so I'll leave it in the hands of my own body'
The feelings she had were beyond what she could convey, every second her master put himself in danger her desire to protect him grew stronger, she would be his guardian, the one who stands in front whenever he was in danger, she would be the one who drives away danger around him like a guardian.
Leaving Yumeha's body with a red and green color, two lions formed in front of her with their heads bowed, she opened her eyes feeling a strong magic in the two bastards.
"Koma inu, these will be your names and you will be summons."
The two seemed satisfied with Yumeha's decision, when someone was about to arrive the two looked excitedly out the window and climbed onto it with their tails wagging as if they sensed something.
"What are you doing?"
Coming to the window Yumeha looked outside and her eyes shone when she saw Enrico with the others returning, it seemed her new yokai were just like her with their feeling of wanting to protect Enrico and that made her satisfied with herself.
"You can go back for now, I'll greet master at the room door."
The two waited for Enrico to enter the dorm before leaving, those two had ignored her order to make sure their master was safe, if it had been someone else they would have worried but Yumeha seemed even more excited.
'That's amazing, their feelings of protection aren't as great as mine after all I would watch him until he was safe in the room… I need to train them perfectly'
Leaving the room she stood guard looking at the door that opened and Enrico came in yawning. He had managed to complete that part of the story with Firki without much difficulty, the only problem being that it took too long and he almost missed his training for today especially after yesterday's battle which he considered part of his training.
'When I prepare the magic circle I'll start training much more'
[I want to see what kind of crazy training you're thinking of]
"Master, welcome back."
"It's good to be back, Yumeha."
Waving, Enrico accepted the bow made by her already used to her being so close and respectful every day.
"Master, I got new yokai today and I'm quite satisfied with their attitude."
"If so then they must be amazing."
He met the yokai when Yumeha summoned them, after a few minutes testing their abilities Enrico went into the bathroom to take a bath.
'System, there's only one arc left after today, right?'
[Yes, when you complete it you'll be able to make a pact in the next two, if I remember correctly the next is the personal fight between three characters]
"You're right."
In the next part of the story Kai, Valença and Camila would meet three arrogant Nobles from the best academy in Vesparello who were visiting because they were the top three, their encounter happened because those three were bothering some low rank students.
'As always Kai will interfere.'
[How are you going to enter that part of the story? Are you going to replace Camila? Since she hasn't been that important]
'And who said I'm going to enter that part?'
[You're not? Why?]
That part of the story served to test the three because when it happened all of them were humiliated by the Vesparello students with the only one standing out being Kai, this part served to present rivals for the dispute between the academies.
'I'll be on their side but I'll just watch them fight.'
[But what about your pact?]
'First of all I'll be on their side and second you never said I had to take part in every story arc.'
[But… damn it I should have asked to put that in from the start]
Enrico had his reasons for not wanting to fight during that part since that fight would be theirs, he wouldn't get any reward and this time he wanted to see how it would happen at the current level of the protagonist and his friends.
'They may not defeat those three but they can surprise, especially since comparing them now with the story at this exact moment both Kai and Valença are stronger.'
Besides that all of them had followed their training cards and improved, especially Kai who must have discovered that thing hidden in his house.
'I still need to deliver the items to Valença and Kai.'
The only character he had doubts about was Camila, even though she was stronger her chances of winning were low.
'Maybe she'll surprise me.'
Leaving the bathroom he saw Yumeha nervous on the bed, when she saw him she stuck close and turned her face away, at first Enrico was confused but then he remembered he had promised her a reward if she waited.
"Are you waiting for your reward, my beautiful Yumeha?"
"B-beautiful? M-master…"
Amused by her expression Enrico approached sitting beside her while his face got close to hers.
"Are you ready?"
"Y-yes."
[I know, it's one of those scenes where the girl expects a kiss but it's something else, please don't be an idiot—]
Holding her face with his right hand Enrico's lips touched Yumeha's who had closed her eyes, upon feeling that contact she trembled with her body turning all red.
'M-Master is k-kissing me'
Yumeha's head was a mess while that kiss didn't stop, she was so dizzy that she fainted from happiness with her mind having only one thought.
'I won first'
'That was fast, faster than I thought'
Seeing Yumeha unconscious all red, Enrico carefully laid her on the bed and lay down right after stretching his shoulder that was still injured, he thought it would heal quickly but it was harder than he thought.
[You really did that… I can't believe it]
'When I make a promise I make sure to keep it. Besides I don't know what Serenya will ask so since I promised I'd do everything first with Yumeha I have to do it.'
[I don't know what to think of you]
Closing his eyes, now it was time to worry about other things, he had to form a strategy on how to win the new fake dungeon and get his new percentages.
