Next day, Mio told Mahi to run 5km and once again set that same dog behind her.
The dog was chasing Mahi. Due to its scary face, Mahi got extremely terrified. "Mio you're so mean, this is so scary. Someone save me from this dog and Mio!"
"Haha... today who will save you Mahi? Run a bit faster otherwise this monster will eat you," Mio was making fun of Mahi.
Just then Liora arrived.
"Hoho, started training so early in the morning? Leave the poor girl alone for some time. Her speed is the same as yesterday, no improvement. What are you even teaching her Mio?"
"Yes, so it's only been one day. Don't you have a brain? She's not some legendary being who will learn everything in one go." Then blushing... "Anyway, I'm only thinking about my reward. Ohh Horobi, what should I ask from you?"
Liora made a weird face. "Are you still thinking about that? You haven't even decided what you'll ask for. What a weak brain you have."
"Yes, actually I was thinking about it the whole night, couldn't even sleep."
"Oh man, nothing can be done about you." Liora put her hand on her head.
After some time, Mahi finally arrived there.
"Haaf haaf... look I finally came, 5km is complete, now I'm tired. I can't run anymore. That's it now."
"Okay, you rest for a bit then I'll show you about mana and then we'll start with fire or water."
"Thanks Mio, I'm going to have breakfast now." Mahi was just about to go inside the house when Mio pulled her back from behind.
"Not now, first change. I don't want Horobi to see you in these clothes. He'll go crazy seeing you in these clothes. Or just have breakfast here."
Liora hit Mio hard from behind. "Stop troubling her. You go Mahi. Owch..."
"Okay, thanks Liora."
"Why did you hit me?" Mio looked towards Liora making a weird face.
"Because you were troubling her. Now she's free. And yes, she's weaker than us, but she's not less than us, instead of troubling her and trying to help her."
"Yes, okay. Lab lab lab!!"
Horobi was waiting for everyone at the table. "How's the training going? You should have breakfast before morning training."
"Hmm okay, today I completed it in 40 minutes."
"Ohh really, very good Mahi, you did amazing."
"Heyy Horobi this happened because of me, you should give me credit too."
"Okay fine, you did good too Mio."
"And the idea to summon dog behind Mahi was mine."
"Dog? Which dog?"
"Ohh we summoned a scary dog behind Mahi so she kept running out of fear."
"Ahh." Mahi said trembling, "I-it was so scary, felt like it would eat me."
"Eat me!! Hahaha" Horobi started laughing, "No no Mahi, normal summons never go out of control, Mio can easily control that level summon.
Yes Mio don't summon anything too powerful, if it goes out of control there could be problem, if you want we can keep Abyss there."
Horobi started looking around for Abyss, "Hmm? Abyss? Where did Abyss go, Abyss where are you, come here."
Then Mahi said, "Abyss, this is the same dragon right that you came on? Why are you calling it inside, it's so big."
"Hn?" Horobi got a bit confused, "No no Abyss is a small cute dragon. Yes but it can also become big."
Just then Abyss came near Horobi.
"Zzz..." and stuck to Horobi's hand.
"Ohh this is Abyss, it's really so cute. Can I touch it Horobi?" Mahi extended her hand towards Horobi, Horobi nodded yes, Mahi put her hand on its head then picked it up in her arms and started tickling its belly.
But suddenly Abyss got up and ate all of Mahi's food, Mahi just kept staring at it, "What it ate my food, now what?"
Horobi laughed seeing Abyss, "It only eats food of those it likes." Horobi picked up Abyss and placed it on Mahi's shoulder.
"Really, it likes me."
Liora extended her plate towards Mahi, "You eat mine, and do you know Abyss only took some meat pieces from Mio's plate but it emptied your entire plate. This means it likes you more than Mio."
"What? What's your problem Liora, why are you always after me." Mio looked at Liora annoyed.
"Just like that."
"Okay you two now quickly get ready, class time is about to come. You know Raii sir's anger. Okay Mahi we'll talk to you later. Yes if you want to go anywhere tell Abyss or any servant."
Horobi gave thumbs up looking at Mahi.
"Okay fine. If I feel like it I'll go. Bye bye Horobi. Take care of yourself."
"Bye Mio, Liora."
"Bye."
Horobi, Mio and Liora started going outside.
Mahi was sitting at home thinking about Horobi when she remembered Horobi said she could go outside if she wanted. She immediately went outside and told Abyss to take her out.
"Will it understand what I'm saying? Abyss will you take me outside?"
Abyss came in front of Mahi but didn't take giant form, then started looking at Mahi's face.
"Hmm seems like it doesn't understand what I'm saying. Looks like only Horobi can command it. But Horobi said I can take it with me, meaning I can take it along. Not that I can sit on it and fly away." Mahi put Abyss on her shoulder and started going outside.
Then a soldier stopped her, "Wait ma'am you can't go outside alone, Lord Horobi has forbidden it."
"Hnn!! But today Horobi said I can go and Abyss is with me. So no need to give."
"If Lord Horobi said then I'll let you go, since you're taking Abyss with you then please take any servant along too. Because Abyss only follows master's all commands, in between Abyss goes anywhere."
"Yes okay I'll go from gate with someone." Then her eyes fell on Rina. "Hey Rina listen."
Rina immediately started coming towards Mahi. "Yes ma'am did you call me?"
" will you come outside with me? I feel like going around a lot. Please if you're not busy then come."
"Yes mam I'll come, let me get ready." And quickly went inside the house to get ready.
"Okay come fast." Mahi got very happy that she got a chance to go outside. After some time Rina came outside.
"Let's go ma'am."
"Don't call me ma'am, you can call me Mahi."
Rina behaved a bit weirdly. "No no ma'am how can I take your name. I'll call you Lady Mahi."
"Okay fine, let's go now."
Market Adventure
In the market everyone's eyes were only on Mahi. "Hey look at that girl how beautiful she is. When did she come to our area? Wow what a girl." Everyone was talking about Mahi.
Rina took Mahi inside some shop, "Lady Mahi please take some clothes for yourself from here."
"Yes I want pants like Horobi's."
"What, will we get them here?"
Rina looked at Mahi and put hand in her hair with some confusion. "Yes we'll get but... master's like pants? But you were going to take for yourself right."
Mahi started blushing. "I was thinking of trying loose pants like Horobi. I like Horobi a lot so that's why."
Rina with sparkling eyes. "Ohh okay. Now I understand, come I'll take you where master got his clothes last time. Come with me." Rina brought Mahi to another shop.
The bell above the shop door rang softly as Mahi entered the clothing shop with the maid, Rina. Shelves filled with folded clothes and fabrics surrounded the room.
Everything looked far more expensive than the clothes Mahi had ever seen in her village.
A young shop assistant noticed them and walked over politely. "Welcome. How may I help you?"
Before Mahi could answer, Rina spoke. "The owner, please. Miss Mahi wishes to see some premium clothing."
The assistant nodded. "Of course. Please wait a moment." She quickly went to the back of the shop. After a short while, a middle-aged man came out from behind the curtain. He was clearly the shop owner.
"Good afternoon," he said calmly. "I'm the owner of this shop. What are you looking for?"
Mahi hesitated a little before answering. "Um... I want loose black trousers like the young master wears."
The owner looked slightly surprised. Requests like that usually came from nobles. Still, he walked toward one of the shelves and brought out a pair of black trousers. He placed them carefully on the counter.
"These are made from premium royal fabric," he explained. "Very soft and durable. Clothes like this are usually preferred by nobles."
Mahi gently touched the fabric. Her eyes widened. "It's really soft..." Then she asked the question she was most curious about. "How much does it cost?"
The shop owner paused for a moment, studying both of them carefully. Then he answered. "Those trousers cost twenty-five royal gold coins."
Mahi's eyes widened in shock. "25 Royal Gold..." she whispered, voice filled with shock.
That amount was insane. A hundred times more than normal gold. She instinctively stepped back, feeling completely out of place.
Inside, the owner wondered. Did they really come here to buy something this expensive...?
Before she could say anything, Rina — the calm and efficient maid — stepped forward smoothly.
"Miss Mahi, please take these," Rina said gently but firmly.
Without waiting for protest, Rina took out Horobi's sleek black enchanted card and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The card glowed once, and the payment was completed instantly.
The shopkeeper bowed deeply with great respect. "It shall be delivered to the Enma residence right away, my lady."
Mahi's eyes widened.
"Rina... what did you do? So expensive... I couldn't have taken it!"
Rina turned to her with a warm, respectful smile.
"You're not some normal girl, Miss Mahi. You belong to the Enma family. You belong to Lord Horobi's house. Whatever you like here is yours."
Mahi felt a wave of embarrassment mixed with strange warmth. She opened her mouth to argue, but the words got stuck.
Rina asked Mahi, "My lady do you want just one pair or more?"
"No one is fine. Now let's go somewhere else, I'm hungry, let's go eat something both of us," and started going outside with Rina.
Rina started noticing outside that everyone was looking at Mahi, some people started following. Rina went inside a hotel, maybe some soldiers were there. Both went inside and ordered their food.
Then a boy came, "Oye hoye succubus what a thing, I've seen a succubus before but not like you, come with me lots of fun will happen." He started staring at Mahi. And extended his hand towards Mahi.
Then Rina told him to put his hand back and hit him hard, "Do you even know what you're doing, go otherwise it'll be very bad. Do you even know who Lady Mahi is."
The boy narrowed his eyes, "Ohh so Mahi's name is this oh I mean Lady Mahi. Will you come with me." Mahi got scared and moved a bit back. He came forward and tried to touch Mahi, at that time Abyss came forward and did flame attack on him.
The boy moved back a bit, "Ohh a lizard what a thing but you'll regret that I'm C rank myself. And now I'll take you anyway." But Abyss increased its size and directly knocked him down.
"Ahh what this this how did it become big." Abyss picked him up with its mouth and threw him against the shop wall, he broke through the wall and fell outside, Abyss, Mahi and Rina came outside. Now Abyss became even bigger.
The boy came angrily, "How dare you throw me now see what I do... what..." He saw Abyss "How did this become so big oh god this is a dragon RUN."
Abyss put its foot on him, the boy got very scared. Abyss attacked him with normal fire burning his clothes and threw him in the middle of the city.
The boy's clothes burned, he tried to hide himself but everyone seeing him naked started making fun of him.
Mahi and Rina started going back home, then voice came from behind. "Heyy Mahi. Wait we're also coming." Mahi looked back happily, Horobi was calling her.
Everyone was watching that Horobi was calling that girl meaning she's Enma, "We thought she was normal girl. That boy's gone now."
Mahi ran quickly to Horobi, Horobi asked Mahi "How was your day?" Mahi smiling told him everything and how Abyss protected her. Horobi picked up Abyss "Well done Abyss very good job."
Abyss started circling around Horobi, "Okay okay now let's go home" Horobi told everyone to go home and they all headed towards home together.
