Reincarnated With A Summoning System

Chapter 52 - 52



Everyone was so excited to finally have a home, well a Guild House to call home, in this world that they couldn't focus on anything else that afternoon. The entire day was spent wandering the shopping district around the inner walls, looking for personal items to add flavor to their new rooms. They found curtains and blankets, trinkets and wall hangings. Anything they felt might make their room more their own.

A trip to the Dwarven furniture maker got them a few new custom ordered sectional couches, as the existing ones all felt very small and formal, and they liked to just relax as one group. The Dwarf assured them that he could have the couches finished the next day, they could pick them up in the afternoon after they registered their guild and did a dungeon run, or more shopping.

It was too late in the day to register a guild, so they made an appointment for the morning and returned to their new Guild House for bedroom decorating. It would also be a load off their minds to transfer less used armor and clothing items to their closets, freeing up inventory space.

Tanya, the Guild House's own chef, has dinner waiting on them when they return. A fancy sort of meal she clearly put a lot of work into.

"Thank you Tanya. I hope you made enough for yourself and the twins, I saw your old contact and I'm afraid to ask just how poorly you were treated by the previous Guild." Char tells the Stout Dwarven girl.

"I'd already had dinner on the go for us, no worries Miss." Tanya replies.

"I'm Cain, this is Misha, Elmira, Mythryll and Char. No need for so much formality. As far is I'm concerned, as Guild House Employees, you're no different to the rest of us, just one big dysfunctional family."

"There's cuddles and honey too!" Elmira cheers, adding in the bits she feels are most important. Tanya chuckles at her priorities before returning to the kitchen to bring out pies.

"Dwarven house warming tradition. Beef and Ale pies. I made a sweet apple one too, for those with a taste for sugar."

They settle into their own rooms for the evening, even Vala was assigned a room, despite not needing to sleep, as the summoning magic didn't include such things. Instead of pretending to use it, she ended up sneaking into Cain's room and watching over him as the spell insisted was her duty.

Maybe they went a bit overboard in their enthusiasm. Those who don't sleep don't really need a bedroom.

At first light, Cain went to the bath marked 'Blokes', with a minotaur picture, while the others laughed at the carved image of a buxom mermaid on the other door marked 'Lasses'.

The bath was already drawn, and fresh warm towels set out. The maids must be mind readers, getting everything ready before first light, Cain decided. Not entirely impossible, given their Tengu heritage.

Their appointment at the Guild Hall was smooth and pain free. The 5 of them signed the Guild charter, with Cain appointed as Guild Master, and the Darklight Host was officially born.

Now when other transfers look at them using the system interface, they can be identified as Guild members, and the Guild Chat function was opened. Mythryll noticed right away that Tanya and the Twins could be reached through the Guild Chat, and were listed in the Guild Roster inside their interface as Guild Supporters.

"That's perfect, we can warn them when we'll be home and if we need anything. We can also transfer them money from the Guild Vault, but they don't have privileges to withdraw anything on their own." Mythryll narrates her findings.

"There, I put 5 Gold coins in the Vault, it'll cover their wages and any shopping we need them to do for a while." Cain informs her.

"Should we head into the Demon Dungeon again? I want to see if we can go straight to the exit to Karmazin City inside the Demon Realm. If we can, it will be a much faster way of getting around." Misha suggests.

Ah Karmazin City That sparkling mass of zero city planning. Cain wonders how Cixelcid is doing back there with his guild.

Going by apparent distance, it should only take about 4 hours to get to the spire that marked the zone by the other exit, so it would be an all day round trip to explore. But far less than the week they spent walking between the two cities, wandering through the Elven Forest.

As they worked their way through the ruins, they noticed the fights were getting easier the closer they got to the spire. The Demons near the previous entrance were fifteen levels lower than the ones by the Sunnybrook entrance, so it's a good sign this really is the same spot.

They're also collecting quite a few new demon forms for Cain's Golems, he's up to 73 now, aiming for 100 when Vala will get an upgrade to Greater Demon Companion.

"If we make a break for it after this patrol, we should be able to get quite a ways down this road. If I'm right, it will lead to the spot where we got our first demonic recipes and then the exit." Cain whispers, pointing down the road to their left.

As expected, the same group of demons is there, though not elite this time. They're quickly dispatched by the sheer number of summons in the party and everyone stops to catch their breath.

"Remind me to start a cardio workout when we get back." Misha wheezes, not for the first time.

"Well, we've got a house now, maybe we can find exercise bikes or something, start a group training regimen for days we have to run?" Mythryll suggests.

"The exit should be just up there. One more pull and we're done." Cain encourages everyone to get moving.

It is exactly as they remember it, the view out from inside is the same and everything. They don't want to exit back into that mess they ran away from though, so they start making their way back towards the Sunnybrook exit, knowing they can return here anytime they want.

Clearing this area now is simple, with all the damage increase they've gained, single hits are killing the softer demons, and they're fighting at a moderate jog, taking breaks only to catch their breath.
