Chapter 8 - Felicity Makes a Friend

As Me and Sion leave the village and start walking down a very dusty road towards what she says is the nearest town, Felicity starts to act up obviously she wants to speak but is staying quiet due to the fact that we now have company.

"Felicity why don't you introduce yourself?" I say as I take Felicity off my head and hold her in my hands

"Hello my name is Felicity, I am Alexanders contracted companion" Felicity says looking at Sion and then turns to look at me with what Feels like a thankful look

"oh Hello Felicity, my name is Sion" Sion says looking a little embarrassed

Suddenly felicity jumped from my hands and in a flash of light she turns to her human form, but this time instead of wearing her white dress she was wearing a suit of leather armour that had white and gold trim.

"oh, my fair lady now you decide to take human form and not treat me as a mount" I say in a joking manner, which causes Felicity to turn and look at me with a blush on her face clearly a bit embarrassed about being called out

we continue to walk and talk...well Felicity and Sion talk I'm just responsible for any beasts appear but by the time we get past the forest edge and enter the plains leading to the town we slowly stop seeing as many beasts.

on the way here I've killed a few boars and a few adult wolfs as we set up camp for the night, I prep one of the boars to eat it wasn't that appealing but it was better than nothing, while we ate I checked my system which surprised me that I gained so many points in just the time we left the village to the point that we set up camp.

-SUMMON-

"how much for a summon chance?" I ask felicity when Sion was distracted with setting up her tent

"it's only one thousand points for a basic summon" Felicity says as she looks over at my system panel

"by the way can anyone else see the panel?" I ask since she can see I was worried that Sion could see it too

"only people who are contracted to you or me can see it" Felicity says understanding my worries

"I should get the basics of magic skill for one thousand then spend the other two thousand on summons" I say wondering what I could get from the summon

-Basics Of Magic-Passive-

Allows the user to understand mana manipulation and form basic spells and learn different spells thru either purchases or practice

It might be a basic skill but it should help at a later date even if it takes a while to be useful, what surprised me was that it didn't say what elements I could or couldn't use.

I then proceeded to use the summon twice.

"oh you got some useful items" Felicity says surprised by the Items

"yeah now I just need to get a skill for cooking" I laugh not thinking too much about it

I quickly toss the items into my storage space before Sion sees them, It would be hard to explain how I suddenly got the new items that probably don't even belong in this world.

 "I've done setting up the tent so you can rest first" Sion says walking over from the area she set up the tent

"you two should sleep first I'm not tired so I'll take first watch" I say as I add more wood to the fire

"okay I want to talk to Felicity anyway so no peeking on us" Sion says as she grabs Felicity by the hand and walks over to the tent and enters it

I shake my head with a small smile on my face this might be the first time I've interacted with someone so cheeky, as I think that I suddenly remember someone from the days of basic training a girl around my age she had short brown hair and light green eyes and due to all the training she had well built muscles and tanned skin, she was always getting into trouble and causing problems for the unit, she left the army when we were in our early twenties, she was the only one of us to leave without any problems, we lost contact with her after a few months.

Suddenly I sense movement coming from behind me just as I turn to see what it is "turn around and get a arrow to the eye" Sion says she's clearly going to the "toilet" in the only bushes near us which just happens to be behind where I'm sitting "I should probably move away as not to disturb her" I think as I go to stand up and walk away from where I was sitting.

suddenly Sion screams and I don't hesitate to turn and run to where she was but just as I get to her side I'm surprised to see her sitting on the ground with her leather trousers pulled down around her ankles and a small puddle forming under her as a small spider crawls up her leg, I try not to laugh as I reach out and grab the small spider which was about the size of my hand as I turn to leave I catch sight of something white and lacey out of the corner of my eye, I gulp and quickly leave before she notices.

moments later I'm sitting by the fire with the spider resting in my hand It seems very cute, I wonder If the system has any taming skills.

-Tame-active-LV.1- 500 points

can tame any creature that is weaker then the user but it must be willing to be tamed

-Tame Storage-Passive- 500 points

Can store any creature that has been tamed

"I guess I'll need more points first" I say as I pet the spider

Sion comes over and sits down next to me "I'll be taking the next watch so you should go and get some rest" Sion says clearly embarrassed about earlier

"I'm just going for a quick walk around the area" I say as I stand up and walk away

It didn't take long before I found a group of wolfs and from the looks of it they were drawn in from Sion's scream, good timing if each one gives two hundred points then this group of eight will be enough for me to get the two skills and have some left over.

It doesn't take me too long to kill them, if anything it was faster then earlier but that's probably due to the fact that I've gotten used to the way they move and I can start to predict how they will move.

After the quick battle with the wolfs I purchase the two skills and then I turn to the little spider friend that's been sitting on my shoulder while I fought.

"Would you like to join me properly little guy? I say as I use the tame skill on it after a moment I can tell the skill worked but all of a sudden I hear a cute little voice

"thank you master for signing a contract with me" I look down at the spider "was that you?" I ask surprised

"yes it was me master" The spider says sounding happy with itself

"we should name you, but are you a boy or a girl" I ask wondering how you tell the gender of a spider

"I am a girl, master" The little spider says

"how about the name Izzy?" I ask

"that is a wonderful name master, from now on I'm Izzy and I will help you however I can" Izzy says in her cute little voice

Now the next problem is how will the other girls react when, I bring this little cutie back, well I know how Sion will react.
