'FLASH'
A great white light like a lightning bolt filled both our visions with light shoot our hands up to shield against this unexpectedly bright light.
"what's going on out here!"
I heard a woman's voice shout out from behind me, as the light faded and disappeared turning my head a bit to respond to her.
"Oh sorry about that we were just performing a summon"
"Oh my Gods, She's so CUTE!"
Her voice rocketed through the square, the guild employee merely nodded at my reply before heading back inside I guessed to inform everyone else not to worry, so I returned my gaze over to Raisa but what I saw there was outside my realm of expectations.
There in the square being hugged in the air by Raisa while she twirled around and around was a Pure white Kobold, with Deep red eyes.
[Hmm I want to say Albino, but the fur looks more like an arctic fox, but those red eyes well whatever it work with her chosen name of ruby, but I should do a quick appraisal of the creature]
<
[Hmm that's not too bad at all, but I can't see its level so she's probably gotten lower skill levels due to Raisa herself having a lower level, but since she's meant be a pet that's not essentially a bad thing]
"Congratulations Raisa that's a nice looking Arctic Kobold you've got there"
"Arctic? But it's not even cold here?"
"Oh well that's just the term to describe the color of her fur, as White as snow"
"Oh yes I see that makes sense, so I got a different species afterall then?"
"Nope that's just my own term, I ran a quick appraisal on her and she's 100% kobold, now just remember as a summon she'll need to stick pretty close to you, if you go too far away she could be dispelled or forced to return to you against your commands to stay put, additionally like with a normal animal if something or someone kills Ruby that's it, but if you want I can teach you the spell to dispel her, then you just need to repeat the words we used before to summon her again"
"Never! Ruby'll stay by my side until the end of time"
Her declaration was still loud but this still never caused her to stop moving and squeezing her new Kobold pet.
"Hey Raisa… uh you might want to let go now, if you hug her any tighter she might lose all of her health"
'GASP'
Promptly dropping Ruby to the ground where she landed with a thud.
"Oh my, poor Ruby I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you"
"Well our jobs done here Kurama should we leave the two of them to their new partnership and head off?"
'mmm nod'
After a second of contemplation my own Red Kobold responded with a nod, clearly not wanting to leave Raisa's side but also knowing nothing would really be happening for a while now.
"Don't worry buddy, we'll see both of them tomorrow anyway"
"ara"
Leaving Raisa and her new companion who are still completely in their own little world to be in the guild square, I headed off down the street and wandered into a handful of shops, managing to acquire another 10 bolts of cloth, but only a single one of silk, along with a simple sewing kit, I found an alchemy shop but there weren't any recipe books or the like, the shopkeeper informed me that alchemist don't really share their secrets, so if I want a recipe I'd have to buy one directly from another alchemist.
[Well guess I'm stuck doing things the old fashioned way then with elbow grease hah]
Making one final stop before heading back to our lodging I purchased a handful of foods from the stalls lining the street and placing them all in my inventory.
"That should be enough for supper right?"
'mmm, nnoodd'
[ Hm a slow nod, guess he doesn't really believe that or he's covertly trying to say he wants more, well not like I'm strapped for cash so from just one more stall can't hurt]
After purchasing everything we'd meant to, we'd made our way back to the warehouse and up into our room, it was still pretty early into the evening by now for supper so I settled in to get started on my newest profession to see just what I could manage with Tailoring.
Pulling out a bolt of cloth along with the sewing kit, I cut a simple strip of cloth off thread the needle and started to sew carefully by hand until a simple square with three and a half sides sewn up was completed, then I pulled out a bundle of Golden Ram wool and stuffed it inside, prodding the square a few time to ensure it never got to hard but instead retained its fluffiness before picking up the needle once again to finish sewing up the end.
"There we are easiest thing to make I think but, now I have a proper pillow, would be better with cotton but eh wool should work fine, after all that wool was really smooth, and fine"
Tossing the completed pillow onto the bed, I whipped open my menu and went straight to the professions page.
<
"Alright I got it, now to see what I can let the system create for me"
Clicking on the profession the crafting menu opened up.
"Let's see, I can create basic clothes, shirts, pants, even underwear along with simple hide armor like gloves, belts, capes, hoods, and tunics. Perhaps I should stop by and see Viktor tomorrow before I set out to let him know I plan to keep all the furs and hides, I could use them for my tailoring or just save them up for when I unlock leatherworking, for right now let's just use up the cloth I do have on some basic clothes since I only have the one set thanks to all that carnage in the slaughterhouse"
After having pulled out the food I'd bought earlier and consuming it all with Kurama I'd thought about what to use the limited cloth I did have for as I ate, should I keep leveling up first aid, with it or make some clothes with tailoring.
Making the decision to create an identical amount of pants, shirts, and underwear and use up all the cloth I had.
The hours rolled by until I had finished but at that point I had already queued up my second round having selected to create silk bandages using the single bolt of silk I managed to acquire.
Once again my hands moved on their own in a furious pace cutting, and roll bandage after bandage.
By the time all my crafting had finished night had fallen and the moons hung high in the night sky.
"Well that should do it for today, best get to sleep or I'll get scolded for coming late tomorrow, or even worse being woken up early by Kurama. Perhaps I should dispel him so he won't have the chance"
'grrrrrrrr'
"Kidding kidding, geez"
Crawling onto the bed and dropping my head into the new pillow.
"Ahhh now this is better, this worlds pillows feel like they just stuffed grass in a bag or something, I'm sure to sleep soundly tonight"
Closing my eyes and slowly drifting off into sleep.
