Morning came at me like a ton of brick, not once but twice first when the in game alarm I'd set sounded off inside my own head like a church bell ringing when you're right next to it, and after I'd finally made it stop Kurama started nudging me every second till I finally got up.
Once my wakeup alarms finally finished I quickly changed clothes via my menu, the style of the clothes made through my skill were quite a bit different from those sold in town, but that actually made them more comfortable, almost like a cross between modern patterns, and primitive fabric, and perhaps thanks to the skill the clothes were fitted, so there was no need for a belt, or cinching up the sleeves of the shirt.
Eating a simple Yggdrasill breakfast we'd set out with the direction we'd obtained from Viktor guiding our way, Kurama meanwhile was sniffing the air, when we got to the general location he took the lead and I followed behind until we arrived at a massive 5 story building made of pure white stone, iron gates surrounding the property, a well manicured lawn with numerous flowerbeds.
"Are you sure this is it? I'm not doubting you its more just general fear rising up right now out of how powerful Raisa really must be!"
"ara"
'nod'
"I see same for you, well at least we can say were not on her bad side"
With that we walked onto the property and knocked at the front door.
After a short while the thick wooden door opened just enough for a middle aged man wearing a full suit with gloves, to be seen his face clean, and his hair well kept if only just recently starting to grey.
The very picture of a high class butler, if this was a light novel his name would surely be Sebastian, or Sebas or something cliché like that.
"Can I help you?"
"Uh yes, is Lady Raisa Salide in?"
"Oh and what business do you have with the masters daughter"
His response was gruff and his tone changed to become very stern.
"Oh well uh I have an… appointment. To well, you know see her… and"
My response was little more than a stammer as the old man pressured my response from me.
"Alfred!"
With that shout the door was swung wide open Alfred the butler was now standing with his head slightly bowed towards the woman who had ripped the door open and out of his grasp, standing there before us was Raisa.
"Seriously! Did I not tell you yesterday that Satou was coming? Now stop trying to scare him and let him inside already!"
"Yes Milady"
With a small body bow the butler moved away from the door and waved his right hand in a low arc ushering me inside.
"Honestly Alfred you're always treating me like I'm still that helpless little girl from all those years ago, I know it's been quite a few years since I was last back but still! And you! Satou no need to be so tense around here and what was with all that 'Lady' title you were using didn't forget our deal did you? You're a good friend after all we've been travel with one another for a while now"
"Raisa!"
Feeling as my eyes were burning a bit with her words following shortly after the butlers suspicions this could be headed in the wrong way of misunderstanding.
"Forgive my rude action's Miss Salide"
"Ha ha no worries Alfred… Sorry about that Satou, Alfred has been with our family for a long time, actually since I was born even so he can be a bit… er overprotective when it comes to me."
"Huh uh well I mean I understand so um…"
"Ah right you're here to discuss business right?"
"Well that was sure part of it, but on the other hand how are things with Ruby?"
"Ah yes my darling Ruby, she's actually right here"
Taking a side step to reveal her Arctic white furred Kobold standing behind her, currently dressed up like a doll with a simple skirt, and princess vest, necklaces and bracelets also adorning her.
Kurama took one glance before turning to take a look at me.
[Dude seriously, I mean I can understand giving you armor or weapons but I'm not going to play dressup with you, not to that extent at least i mean sure clothes when we're strolling around town but i'm not going all out to kit you up like that]
"Ah yes that's good to see, I kind of had some worries that the summon wouldn't last but I'm glad to see my worries were unfounded"
"She's my faithful companion nothing will ever take her from me! Now Kurama, do you want to go play with Ruby while me and Satou talk business?"
'mmmm nod'
After taking a moment to consider Kurama agreed, and Raisa raised a command to Alfred to escort the two Kobold to somewhere in the mansion.
Raisa meanwhile lead me in another direction into a room that looked more like a modern earth store front with glass cases filled with various things.
"Good Morning Mrs Salide how can I help you today?"
"Good Morning Emire, this is Satou he has a couple potions I'd like you to appraise for me if you could"
"But of course Milady that's no problem at all"
I swear I just saw her face twitch every time someone called her anything but Raisa, she must really hate not being on first name basis with people.
"Well c'mon Satou bring em out!"
Not choosing to fight back at this point I opted to retrieve the same pair of potions as I'd shown her yesterday and placed them both on one of the glass counters.
Emire meanwhile approached holding an object that looked like a coaster, after placing the 'coaster' atop one of the potion bottles a holographic display shone above listing the name and properties of the potions, both he and Raisa poured over the details of the potion.
"Satou! This is… you made this?"
"Um yes why is that a bad thing?"
"No No, I think the lady is just shocked at how good a potion it is given your age young sir"
"But it's just a potion of minor heal isn't it?"
"Nope you're wrong there Satou, this isn't just a simple Minor heal potion it's a (Superior) Potion of Minor Healing"
[Superior… that didn't show in my menu at all, it was just a regular potion]
"uh"
"To think one could be so young and create a potion of minor healing that could recover 30 health, it's stronger than even some normal potions of healing, you sir are a prodigy I can see why the lady has chosen to do 'business' with you"
He cracked a grin when saying this.
