[Day 2]
I think I mostly spent the day resting after all the dungeon-delving extravaganza of yesterday, I really just needed to calm my own mind from all of the stress.
I had dinner with everyone and then I went to sleep rather sleepily, I think Ervas and Kireina slept on the couch or something.
I slowly opened my eyes, as the light of the sun hit my face.
But what I find at my side was… a beautiful pale-white lady with shiny purple hair, black horns, and dazzling butterfly wings.
She was in a fetal position right below my stomach and was sleeping soundly.
I didn't know summons could sleep like this, but I guess if they can eat and even go to the bathroom if they want (not necessary), if they want to sleep they can too.
Though I had assumed Kireina would be guarding my sleep, but I suppose she also wanted to experience what was sleeping.
And she looks… cute.
As I woke up and admired her beautiful sleepy face, Kireina slowly opened her dazzling, supernatural crimson eyes, which gleamed a bit.
"Mwuh?"
"Did you sleep well?"
"A-Ah…! I-I am sorry, Master!"
Kireina quickly stood up as she began to flush a lot.
"I-I was supposed to protect you while you slept but… You were sleeping so comfily… I wanted to be at your side…" sighed Kireina.
"Ah, it's fine. I suppose there was no one attacking us this night…"
As I said that, Ervas appeared at my side, materializing from his ethereal form.
"None one showed up, and I also inspected the surroundings of the building, there was nothing suspicious… Though there was a black cat that appeared in the door and has been meowing, it stopped doing so and is just sitting there… Is it yours?" asked Ervas.
Ah!
"Yes, it is mine… How could I forget him? Ugh, I feel so bad now…"
I quickly ran towards my door as I opened it, and an adorable adult black cat entered, meowing loudly.
"Meow…!"
It was my only pet, and probably the only living being in the world I really cared for, I completely forgot him with all the Ragnarök and System stupidity… He likes to go out sometimes, but he often comes back not too much after.
I gently caressed his fluffy black hair and then I served him some cat food and fresh water, he drank almost the entire pot of water, he was quite thirsty.
Afterward, he began to eat slowly.
"Oh my! Is this your pet, Master? So cute…" said Kireina, as she began to pet my cat.
"Indeed. His name is Cuco… It is a stupid name, but that was the name I give him, it was four years ago after all…" I sighed.
"It is a cute and rather unique name!" said Kireina with a gentle smile.
"It is way better than something dumb like "little blackie"," said Ervas.
"Oh… I guess you're right. Now, I don't know what I will do with him… After shit gets real, what is going to happen to him?" I sighed.
Really, after all of this comes down, should I protect him?
But how?
I can't put him inside my Inventory or something.
He clearly can't… fight. He's just a normal cat.
And just carrying him around… it will simply scare him shitless.
I have to find some way… I won't let him die.
At the very least, I won't let this cat die.
It has been with me for four years, it is… my only friend I suppose.
I guess I am quite the loser for my having a cat friend.
Well, he's more like my companion too…
"You're wondering a way to make him stronger so he can stick with us through Ragnarök, Master?" asked Kireina.
"Yes… I was thinking a few things…"
"Hm, how about we train him?" asked Ervas.
"Maybe he could level up if we let him kill a rabbit!" said Kireina.
"Hmmm… I was thinking the same thing. Though… No, wait. If this baseball bat and the clothes became items after being shrouded in monster blood or killing monsters, why wouldn't Cuco?"
Yeah, why wouldn't he?
I guess it is time to see if I can also convert normal animals into monsters…
Though, will he remember me after turning into one, if it ever works?
Well, I should be able to tame him somehow even if he gets a bit aggressive.
"That's right! We should… at least give it a try. I can hold him and be sure to be delicate, so he doesn't get hurt, trust me on this, Master~!" said Kireina, she seemed eager to have my cat with us in the journey to come.
"I will also help," said Ervas.
"Alright then, I am counting on you two… For now, let me take a shower, and then let's eat breakfast," I said.
"Oh, breakfast~! I will prepare pancakes then!" said Kireina, rushing to the kitchen, she was really like a housewife at this point.
"And I will pet Cuco for the moment." Said Ervas, petting my cat.
Well, I guess you can do that too…
"La~ La~ La~"
Kireina began to hum some melody as she started to prepare the pancakes, so I decided to jump into the shower.
…
After a relaxing warm shower, I ate breakfast with everyone and then decided to assess a few things before getting to convert Cuco into a monster so he can survive in the Ragnarök, and that was… opening some loot!
I had three [Random Item Box], so I opened them right away.
Dig!
[You acquired the following items]
[Wizardly Mantle of Mana Gathering (F-Grade)] x1]
[Soul Sphere of Agility (E-Grade)] x1]
[Gacha Ticket (50% discount) (C-Grade)] x1]
As I glanced at the three items that emerged before me, I was startled by their interesting brilliance, and even more how they appeared magically after I opened the cardboard box, which disappeared after generating the item.
This is interesting, I quickly decided to analyze their info.
[Wizardly Mantle of Mana Gathering (F-Grade)] x1]
A Mantle enhanced with magic runes, which can harbor some small amount of mana within, and some complex runes to conjure a spell without the need for chanting.
Can be used as material to enhance or create equipment.
[Soul Sphere of Agility (E-Grade)] x1]
A special sphere containing a speedy soul, consume it to increase your Agility randomly between 20 points to 100 points.
[Gacha Ticket (50% discount) (C-Grade)] x1]

…
All of them seem rather useful, even if the first two are low grade…
Wait, can't I upgrade my equipment with that mantle?
