Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

”Woah, you two love birds need the room? I can come back later.” A voice sounded from my behind. Letting go of Susan in my embrace, I turn to find a petite figure in a private academy uniform as the voice source. 

”Shorty, who are you? Where did you come from? Do your parents know you are here?” I asked the little girl with lavender-pink hair tied in twin ponytails. 

”Shorty? Who are you calling short? Summon- Tundra! Smite this heathen.” The little girl looked about 11-12 years old. She was easily triggered by the word shorty as she summoned her golden grimoire to attack me. 

*Boom* A dark cloud filled the warehouse and struck me with a thunderbolt. 

”Haha! That’s what you get for messing with this princess.” The schoolgirl laughed as the smoke and dust rose due to the impact of the thunderbolt. Though the smoke concealed her sight, she was confident that her summons had taken care of the heathen. 

”…” I faced the thunderbolt head-on because if I dodged it, Susan, who was behind me, would fall prey to it. I could withstand attacks ten times as powerful as this one with my physique, but Susan could not. 

’Soul pupil,’ opening my soul pupil, I found the core of the cloud-type summons of the peptide school girl and shot at it with a concentrated beam of soul energy using my soul energy manipulation ability. 

*Burst* the monster core burst into pieces on impact, and the cloud-type summons died. 

”No, Thundra!” The schoolgirl screamed in agony losing her summons even though it would revive with a slight drop in its durability. The peptide figure glared at me and swore, “I will be back!” 

*Poof* with a bright flash, she vanished. As if she never appeared in the warehouse. 

”She teleported back!” I said, turning to Susan, asking, “are you okay?” 

”I am fine. But I think we just lost our new client. That little girl might have been the client who contacted us about creating a mutant slime summons origin card.” Speculated Susan. 

”Seeing how she could teleport at her convenience, your guess might be true. After all, she did ask for coordinates for this place.” I supported Susan’s speculations. 

”Looks like our guess was correct. She left a one-star review on our online store, accusing us of misbehaving in the workplace and being impolite to our customers. And at the end, she swore that she will have her revenge for killing her summons.” Getting the notification of a review posted about our online site on the grimoire net by her Grimoire, Susan immediately read the review left by the petite school girl who attacked me without warning. 

”Not only did that girl surprise us with her unannounced teleportation but also attacked me out of nowhere, yet, she blames us for being impolite. The nerve of her. Let her come to avenge her summons. Next time I won’t go easy on her and attack her summons but directly attack her.” I did go easy on the petite schoolgirl. Who doesn’t know the best way to take out a summon is to attack its summoner. At first, I aimed my concentrated soul energy beam at her but realized she might be the client who asked for the warehouse coordinates. I changed the target to her summon’s core at the last minute.

*Poof* 

”Wyatt! We felt a spatial disturbance here. What happened?” Learning of the spatial anomaly in the warehouse, Anna teleported here in concern. 

”Nothing, we pissed off a rich but young client,” I said casually. 

”What?” Anna turned to Susan, looking for more details. Susan filled in Anna to update her about the events that transpired patiently.

”A teleportation card, with instantiations and consecutive effect. Looks like you have offended somebody with a deep background. Let’s hope that the little girl doesn’t go and cry to her parents. Or this whole thing can blow out of proportion.” Anna speculated after hearing Susan explain.

”Leaving that aside, I was about to head out to meet you at the military base.” I threw the incident with the little girl at the back of my head as there was nothing I could do about it. 

”Huh, so what do you want?” Asked Anna 

”Woah, you make it sound like I only reach out to you if I need something from you,” I exclaimed, feeling guilty after hearing her words. 

”What? Isn’t that the known truth to everybody? I don’t mind being your sugar mama, so don’t worry.” Said Anna. 

”…” I was about to ask Anna about borrowing the rumored token that could override the authority of the space isolation barrier arrays covering any of the cities in the southern region. But hearing her, I realized recently I have come to depend on Anna way too much. That was an unfair and a jerk move, considering how I would not respond to Anna’s feelings. 

”Come on, don’t be coy with me. Ask away. What is it you want?” Anna asserted.

”I will not pretend as if I wasn’t going to ask for help. Considering our history, I think I don’t need to do that. But you are right. I do depend way too much on you. So I will try to solve my problem by myself.” Though Anna would not mind helping me, I did. After all, Anna could be considered my friend now. And taking advantage of a friend is not what I do. Especially a generous and loyal one like Anna. 

”Wyatt, out with it! Don’t make me force it out of you.” Anna didn’t seem to care about the words I had just spoken and demanded me to tell her how she could be of my help. 

”Anna, I can handle it. And if I need your help, I know very to find you. So please put an end to this matter here. And let’s talk about something less.”
