Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 256 Clover

This creature was small, cute, had four tiny pows, a somewhat translucent fluid green body with white stripes, and golden eyes, and she was looking at Rein with confusion.

Yes... naturally, this was a kitten.

A damn cute one.

And she was the spirit Rein summoned.

And just the fact that this spirit had a certain fixed form and not an uncertain form or just a blob of element showed just how special this being was.

A spirit's growth potential, intelligence, and learning capacity greatly depended on what form they have and the abilities they can use depended on their colors.

And this adorable, confused thing that looked at Rein with innocent and worried eyes looked so cute... I now wanted something like this one, too.

But the kitten, without looking at anything else, was just looking at her summoner, Rein, with a troubled gaze, asking her what was wrong.

The kitten showed concern for this unknown person who summoned her and was now just fallen to the ground on her knees from exhaustion of her stamina and Mana.

And even though Rein was concerned about me, she can't look away from this kitten after the summoning.

And when the kitten showed concern as her first emotion, it was enough to tell this was an excellent baby.

A thoughtful one, and one that already liked her summoner.

And seeing her in that state didn't go well with this kitten, so the cute little kitten floated to her and stopped before her face.

She was the spirit of water, she would naturally float.

Rein can't help the warm look in her eyes as she looked at this spirit, but the kitten didn't like seeing her in that state, so she licked Rein's cheeks with her white tongue.

A little kitten liked her face... damn, me too, please.

That was an adorable scene and, as soon as that happened, Rein's eyes widened in surprise, and fresh energy ran through her body, rejuvenating her entirely.

Her Mana visibly replenished, the small wounds on her body started disappearing, and even her complexion got better.

And this was enough to tell everyone of us what this spirit was… I envy her now.

"Damn... true healing. One of the rarest abilities of water attribute spirits. Looks like my great luck worked this time, too, right?"

I can't help my smile at this scene, and this truly was amazing.

Because the first ever spirit we summoned, and for water attribute, my most favorite one, was a healer.

A rare ability to heal in true meaning.

Not only wounds but also every aspect of others.

Healing small or nonfatal wounds and replenishing Mana to a certain point body can treat possible internal injuries and alleviate pain, hurt, and fatigue.

A rare ability, and a cute form. As well as a unique way to use this.

And all this, only because I helped her.

She can't help but smile happily while looking at me, and that smile was enough for me.

And after giving me this sweet look, she looked back at her new little baby with a smile that made the kitten smile too.

"Mew~!"

And even her voice was cute.

Damn, she really got lucky with this one.

The summoning was complete. The spirit had already recognized her as a worthy master by using her special power to heal her. And now, the only thing to finish this spirit contract...

Rein looked at this kitten-like spirit, deep into those golden eyes, even caressed her water-like spirit body, and then kissed the kitten's forehead.

"Clover. Plese, take care of this unlucky witch who summoned a marvelous being like you."

A green light came out from her body and the kitten smiled happily at her as her body turned into particles and went into Rein's body.

'The contract is complete.'

I sighed in relief now that the process and the first-ever filtered spirit summoning of my life were complete.

And this one wasn't a blank summons with just a limited-time spirit.

I helped someone make contact with a spirit, and this was one of the cutest ones I have ever seen.

And she was a healer, no less. As well as the name Rein gave her... I liked it.

Clover. A name that genuinely signifies love, luck, and care.

And the little kitten, a spirit who is far older than the looks, matched the name perfectly.

And from the great joy she had on her cute face, anyone can tell she loved this name.

Maybe it was closer to her <True name>, or for some other reason, but Clover loved that name.

But… she was now Rein's baby.

A smug smile appeared on my face as I looked at her, and she smirked back at me in a weird way that washed away this smug face of mine.

'You really are thinking that stuff, aren't you!?'

'Well~. Who knows~?'

'Damn, Rein...'

I shook my head in disbelief at that reaction and sighed deeply at the 'thoughts' of this old witch.

The summoning was successful, the magic circle on the ground had vanished and the one engraved on the ground had already returned to normal and now, Rein can summon Clover whenever she wanted.

And, as Rein's Mana was quite high and its purity was closer to mine, a perk of being a witch, of course, she can materialize Clover for at least three hours straight.

And that was materialization.

She can talk to Clover all the time as she was now a part of her, just like Celes and me.

'And... I'm jealous.'

They can understand each other now even if she was in a non-materialized form.

But, I can only understand her when she was out in the materialized state, so I can only talk with that adorable kitten when she summoned her.

I... liked this spirit with a form of a cat and I knew Anna would love her.

Anna would adore that water-like translucent body, her cute tiny self that was perfect for Anna's size, and the marvelous golden eyes were the chocolate chips of a cake.

Anna will love this kitten, and Rein would love to spend more time with us back at our home, too.

But... I'm exhausted.

"Eon. You need some serious sleep." My dear grandmother said as the four of them walked closer and I knew she would have noticed this already.

I had been awake for two days, and the fights on both days had consumed a lot of concentration and mental power.

Even though I had an experience with staying awake for months... it was rarely like this one.

I needed some sleep, and all four of them knew this.

I would be fine without it, no doubt, but a good sleep would be just the thing before we depart for the capital in the morning.

And as Rein heard that, she took a deep breath and walked up to us as I put Asta back after giving her a kiss.

And Asta was just as happy as always.

"Thanks, Eon. For this, as well as everything-" I knew just from those words, she was starting to go into that sentimental state again.

And naturally, I didn't like that one so, I cut her off mid-sentence and spoke up, "That's okay ~. Let's go now. You all have to sleep too, right?

You used a lot of Mana too, Rein. So, go to sleep for now. You will have to introduce Clover to everyone tomorrow, right?

You know Anna's gonna love~ that adorable kitten, right?"

My voice was loud, and she knew why I didn't let her finish that sentence, so she just smiled genuinely and nodded at everyone.

Today has been amazing, with that talk on the tree, that bastard of a headmaster's test, the familiar gathering, and the summoning.

It has been very... special.

And I had never thought I would have this many different experiences and fun just after getting out of that damn forest.

'Haaa... and meeting these amazing people, and her, of course. This couldn't have been more amazing~.'

I also nodded at them, and they understood the awesome show ends here.

The day was good, we all walked out and grandpa Zhen who was waiting outside this whole time went back upstairs just when we were coming out.

End of another long day and a chance for me to finally get some real sleep, but, when we all parted ways on the third floor, she followed me to my room, which… was quite far from hers.

And I just walked until I stood before my door, and after reaching my destination, I looked back at her new kind of smirk.

'Damn, girl. what now?' I asked and she just smiled calmly with closed eyes and I shook my head.

"Won't we be sl-"

"Good night, Rein."

? -Clank!

I close that door on her face even without hearing her next words, and just stood by the closed door, genuinely bothered by her teasing words.

I could hear her happy giggles at this reaction, and she knew I was still on the door, so she leaned closer to the door and whispered in a low voice, knowing I would hear that even with this special Mana door.

"Eon... good night to you too~."

I could feel the happiness in those words, and I was at least happy, as she was happy.

"Go sleep. We will have to depart early morning. Have you packed everything you would need?" I asked in a genuine voice, and an unexpected reply came from her.

"Why would I need to pack things?" This was genuine, and she was smirking outside the door from what I can see with my third eye.

"Okey then. Bye-bye." And I had no need to worry about anything after seeing that smirk, so I genuinely left her and closed the door from the inside, and just went to my bed.

And outside, after hearing my bye, she was at first confused and then she got angry pretty quickly.

'Damn girl? Why sudden mood swings when you already teased this little old me enough for the day? Just get some merry sleep.'

She went to her room and closed the door pretty furiously.

This third eye was an amazing ability, and I can see inside anyone's room just while laying on my bed like this.

But that wasn't something I would do, or even wanted to do.

This room was pretty good. Not close to the ones in the tower but as well as the rooms back at our house in the capital.

And this bed was comfortable, perfect... for a... good sleep.

[[ Good night master~. ]]

[[ "Good night big brother~!" ]]

[[ *What about today's question?* ]]

"Oh, yes.

Haaa... Lucy?

Can I tell Rein everything about me? Should I tell her...? How will she react to those things?"

[[ *Master... you wasted your question on something obvious again. I told you it's all ok, right?

Do whatever your heart tells you with the matters concerning her, and you won't have to waste any more questions.

For now... good night.* ]]

'So you say... '

It will be difficult, I knew that already. But even Lucy accepts these feelings.

And when she said those words, I felt like the master was saying it herself.

So, I think… I can sleep soundly tonight.

[[ "Goodnight everyone..." ]]
