Hey guys, today is a double release day. I also have something I would like to know.

Generaly I used for exemple :

Shina: "....." To make someone talk,

but I hesitate to use "......" Shina said as she smiled.

Do you think this I should change this in order to avoid repetition ? Please leave the answer in a comment to tell me which one you guys prefer.

*********** ************** *********** **************** **************

After managing to make Eniel give up on hugging me, we followed Kira who was happily humming a familiar song… I am sure it’s something I heard before, but I can’t find where.

“Pochi...”

As I was deeply in my thoughts, I came back to my senses as soon as I felt something touch my left cheek.

Turning to my left, nobody was there but I felt that someone was moving behind my back.

“Pochi…” This time it was my right cheek.

Looking back, I was greeted by the pink haired girl who was from around my age; Kii.

Kii: “Haiyo~!! What’s your name ?” She asked me with a childish smile.

I was kind of taken aback by her introduction, but since I am the only one around her age around she must feel closer to me than the others. I also think that I seem easier to talk to than Luna or Eniel.

Shina: “Ah, we didn’t introduce ourselves back there. My name is Shina, just call me like that.” I casually answered as I returned her smile.

As I was introducing myself, I felt that not only her but everyone was also listening to us. I guess that thanks to Luna they became interested in me as well.

Kii: “And those three are?~” She asked as she pointed to Luna, Eniel and Nuya.

Shina: “The scary looking one is my sister, Eniel. The inexpressive one is… well, she is my sister’s friend.”

Eniel didn’t seem to care about being called ‘scary’, but her habit of staring at everyone around us and her piercing stare combined with the cold aura she naturally possesses thanks to her Dark affinity are definitely saying ‘I AM DANGEROUS!’.

In Luna’s case, she is pretty inexpressive when we aren’t alone or she is with strangers, I couldn’t introduce her as the head priestess of my religion, right?

Everyone seemed to be taking mental notes of what about us, everyone except that rabbit woman who is still innocently humming.

Kii: “And this one?” She said while she was strangely looking at Nuya.

Nuya: “Nyahaha~ I am Nuya, Mistress’s one and only maid. Nice to meet you~” She introduced herself as she slightly pulled up her maid skirt.

Taking a look around, I noticed many doors with names on them. They don’t look like the name of people, but things like “Dragon Hunters”, “Pegasus Wings”, “Salamander's tail”. Are those the guild’s names?

Kii: “What are you looking at?~” Kii asked as she saw my gaze wander in the corridor.

Shina: “Oh, I am just wondering where we are since this building doesn’t seem to belong to Saviors.” I answered.

Irsteal: “I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking that it was strange that I could read the names this is the first time I see those symbols.” He wondered, putting his hand on his chin.

Kira: “Oya Oya, you already noticed?” The bunny girl said in a proudish tone.

Kira: “This is something made by our race after many years of research. Since there are many travelers from another worl-”

Thera: “You mean kidnaped people, right?” Thera cut her.

Kira: “Awawa~ T-This is…” Kira suddenly took a strange expression as her ears tensed.

Shina: “Stop teasing her please.” I asked as I noticed that Thera didn’t have any negative feeling toward her.

Thera: “Heh, I am sorry please continue.” She said with a small giggle.

“Guuuuuuuuh~ A rabbit grudge last twenty generation, please remember this.” She growled to Thera in a cute way, as I though teasing her look fun. Thera seems to be thinking the same since she has a lovely smile on her face which she quickly concealed.

Kira: “Anyway... As I previously said, we managed after many years of research to create a paper which would translate the user’s language into a universal one. As for your home language, the world itself is traducing every word you say into a universal one, although we don’t understand the reason why.”

Irsteal: “Such a convenient thing… And this building? This is not your headquarter, right?” He asked as he analyzed the edifice.

Kira: “This is this realm’s summoning house. Behind each of those doors are coming the summoned ones. Each guild has the right to try to summon people, but we can’t control who is summoned and from which world they are coming from. Still, this is still quite strange that you guys are the first arrived, I guys are in advance of one hour. It may be because you weren’t many to be summoned...”

Thera: “We aren’t many? How many people are normally summoned?” She asked somewhat surprised.

Kira: “Normally, the number vary between twenty and fifty. But with your strength I don’t think this is would problem, so... don’t mind~.” She said, giving us a thumb up.

Kazam: “Hoho~ Then how many people are summoned during this ceremony in total?” Kazam asked curiously.

Kira: “Mhhhhh. I don’t know about the other realms, but in this one I would say around twenty thousand. Luckily I am not the only one to welcome the summoned one.”

Shina: “I have a question~” I asked like a kid in school as I lifted my hand.

Kira: “Yes little lady~, I am listening~” She returned my joke.

Shina: “Who summoned us?” I asked.

Kira: “Weren’t you listening? It’s Savior guild that summoned you.” She answered somewhat surprised by my question.

Shina: “So the guilds are the ones who summon us? The summoning ritual should be using a lot of mana and even a God alone shouldn’t be able to do so without assistance.”

Kira: “Ah, I finally understand your question. The one responsible for the summoning is our lord and the ruler of every realm; Lord Geidas.”

Thera: “Unbelievable, a single person is summoning twenty thousand people?!” She asked, unable to contain her surprise.

Kira: “Not only twenty thousand, he is the one responsible of the summoning in every realm.” She answered, showing respect for the man.

Irsteal: “Such a thing, is that even possible…” Irsteal muttered.

Kira: “Please don’t misunderstand, every ten years Lord Geidas is allowed by the world to use its power for the ceremony. After this, even someone like milord needs some sleep, but being able to bear such a power still show that he is definitely the strongest being in this world.”

Her answer suddenly makes more sense, even for Verlox without his Ether Weapon it would be a very difficult thing to do.

Kira: “We arrived.” She said as she suddenly stopped.

Before us is a simple wooden door completely different from the other doors which were made of iron… That make me think that this bunny seem to be kinda strong in order to send that door flying with a kick.

On the door is engraved a few magic runes just like the ones on the previous doors, it’s traduction is ‘Welcome to the New World’

The moment they opened, it was as if a light absorbed us and the instant right after we were at the entrance of a small medieval castle.

However, the castle’s stone are mostly cracked and some part of the castle are destroyed. It doesn’t look like she lied when she said that their guild is in a bad situation.

Kazam: “Impressive…”

Irsteal: “Indeed, being still standing even while being mostly destroyed. It’s as if the castle is unwilling give up and fall.”

The two men felt respect toward a castle that even in such a bad state and seemed to have been sieged for many years was still standing against any odd. But in this state it might not being able to withstand another siege.

Kira: “Please enter.” Kira said as she guided us inside the castle.

As we walked inside the castle, the people around us muttered many things about us. Some looked like they lost all hope, some were looking at Irsteal and Thera with a shred of hope.

The more we walked inside, the more we realized how bad their situation was. Even though that mostly every of the guild members came to observe us, their number didn’t surpass fifty and most of them were gravely injured and unable to fight. Only five or six men, a few women and some child were alright.

‘They are so few...’, ‘That big guy seems capable...’, ‘That kid looks just like a doll...’ We heard many things as we passed by, it only took us two minutes arrive at a large door.

*knock knock knock* Kira knocked on the door before opening it.

???: “Who is it?! We are in the middle of a meeting!” A woman roared from inside as she prepared to unsheathe her sword.

Kira: “It’s me.” She answered as she first entered.

???: “Oh, Kira. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be waiting at the summoning house?” Another woman responded in a calm yet powerful voice.

Kira: “About that… They are already here.” She responded as she made us enter the room.

???: “Already? Well, this is good then, we’ll postpone the meeting.”

The one who talked with Kira is a short red haired woman in her seventeens sitting on a throne, the woman was dressed in a small purple tunic which gave her an imposing aura. At her side is a scythe with a golden body and purple blade.

The moment we entered the room, her eyes wandered among us, seriously trying to analyze us. Looking at Irsteal and Kazam, the red-haired woman seemed to be satisfied and looked at them with respect. She also smiled when she looked at Thera, but she seemed a little happier with Thera than the others.

Looking at Kii, she showed a warm and happy smile.

???: “That girl sure is innocent.” I heard her mutter.

When her eyes finally arrived at us, I felt a strange sensation in my head like something was trying to enter… No wonder she seemed pleased after only a look, it look like she possesses a mind reading power.

She made a shocked face when I denied her the access to my mind, looking at Eniel’s and Luna’s expression it doesn’t look like they noticed it.

Her gaze was especially concentrated on Eniel and me.

Kira: “Is there a problem?” She asked as she saw her make a strange face.

???: “No, it’s nothing. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Kayan Crowheart” She introduced herself as she stood up from her throne and walked toward us. Each of her steps gave a powerful feeling, not the one of someone who possess strength but of a conqueror, a king. Prideful yet calculating, arrogant yet calm and intelligent.

Irsteal: “Humu… That girl, Kayan truly has what is take to be a ruler.” He complimented.

???: “How dare you call Kayan by her name!” A woman who stood by Kayan’s side yelled as she started to unsheathe her sword, it is the same voice as the one who yelled when Kira knocked.

The voice belongs to a long black haired woman who doesn’t look much older than Thera, probably in her nineteen as well. Her body is the same as Thera… A very developed one. But unlike Thera whose face give an elegant and righteous feeling, this woman give the feeling of a beast, a warrior who lived her whole life on the battlefield.

Kayan: “Shun, this is fine. You are free to call me Kayan if you wish.” She respectfully said as if apologizing for her subordinate.

Shun: “B-But, calling you by your name is-” She tried to contest, but another voice stopped her.

???: “Shun, Kayan gave them the right. Don’t bring her shame by your action.”

It was the second woman who was standing on Kayan’s other side, she look very similar to Shun, especially around the breasts… But unlike her she looks more poised and calm. If Shun is the hot blood one, then this woman is the cold blood one.

Her visage looks inexpressive, but not as much as Eniel or Luna from who you can’t distingue anything if you didn’t stay by their side for a long time. Her short hairs are silver with a tinge of blue.

Shun: “If Shan say so…” Shun reluctantly gave up.

Shan: “I apologize for my sister’s behavior, please forgive her.” She asked as she bowed her head.

Irsteal: “Guhahaha~ It’s alright so don’t worry.”

After the ‘incident’, we all once again properly introduced to Kayan. She looked surprised and even Shan couldn’t help but show a little smile when they saw Thera’s holy sword, the proof that she was a hero and belonged to the ‘hero rank’.

Kayan: “Every living being in this world are ranked through their power. At the lowest point we have the soldiers, they regroup all those who weren’t warrior in their original world or whose strength isn’t deemed high.

After this is the ‘king’ rank, those who belong to this class are the ones whose fame resonated through a continent. They were strong enough to be conquerors or called monsters in their world. This is also my rank, as well as Kii’s one.”

Irsteal: “Hahaha~ so young yet already at the same level as me.” He happily said while laughing.

Kayan: “Not at all, Mister Irsteal belong to the rank above, the ‘hero rank’. I don’t know how hard your life was, but you definitely belong to the hero rank.”

Irsteal: “Is that so? Guhahaha~ By the way, you can simply call me Irsteal, I dislike those courtesies. I think the other share my opinion.” He said as he looked around, but no one objected.

Kayan: “As you wish, not only you but Kazam and Thera also belong to this rank. The hero rank is divided in three, lower, medium and high. Shun and Shan belong to the lower class while you and Kazam belong to the upper class. Thera would normally also belong to this class, but her holy sword allow her to belong even fight against people of the next rank.”

Irsteal: “Wait a moment, with such people by your side, how come you are such in a hard position.” Irsteal looked toward Shun and Shan.

Kayan: “Our enemy actually have many king rank. We are in a position where they overwhelm us by using quantity. Most of the ones beside us belong to the soldier class and can’t stop the enemies advance. And even among them there are many child and elderly as well as women who can’t fight...” She said with as a surge of anger could be felt in her voice.

Irsteal: “Quantity over quality… “

Kazam: “I also have a question youngster, how are you able to judge our strength without us showing anything?” Kazam asked doubtful, since I am the only one here who know her mind reading power I am sure the others are surprised.

Kayan: “Ah, this? I obtained the mind reading power with my Estium. As for what Estium is, you’ll learn about it sooner or later. Also, please don’t misunderstand. Although I can read mind it is barely the surface, things like fragments of memories and image from the past. It also allows me to estimate someone’s strength.” She answered, careful not to make anyone angry.

Kazam: “I see, fine then please continue.”

Kayan nodded and the moment she was going to continue, Thera stopped her.

Thera: “Wait a moment, what about them?” She asked while looking at Luna and Eniel.

Kayan: “Those two are…” Kayan’s face became uneasy as she looked at Eniel.

Kayan: “After the hero rank is the ‘God rank’. They are really rarely summoned, they are people whose power shook their world and were granted the possibility to become a minor divinity by the Gods of their world. They are also divided in three class. I believe that not only Luna but if I am right, this fairy also belong to the lower class of this rank.”

Everyone expect us inside the room were shocked by this declaration, Kira’s in particular was awesome. Her mouth is wide open as a little of drool is falling while her hairs are doing the helicopter. In second come Shun who is making a stupid blank face.

As for Kii, she gave up on listening a long time ago and is having some fun in her own way around the room.

Kira: “T-T-T-T-This is… With this, Saviors be saved” She cheerfully yelled.

Kii: “Yaaaay~” Kii also cluelessly joined her since it looked fun.

But Kira’s reaction only earned her a glare from Luna to remind her of their previous conversation.

Kayan: “On the same rank as the Gods are the ‘Dark Gods’. They are being who committed many atrocities and gave up on the light inside their soul. They are dangerous, ruthless and shouldn’t be provoked if possible. I believe that Eniel belong to the lower class of this rank.”

Just like before, the atmosphere once again froze and the face of Shun, Shan and Kira turned pale as they looked at Eniel.

Eniel: “Shina...is that good?” The atmosphere froze so much that even Eniel noticed that something was wrong…

Shina: “It’s good in a certain way I guess~... Maybe?”

Eniel: “Praise me…”

“...........”

Thera: “What about the girl?” She finally asked about me.

Kayan: “The girl herself isn’t strong at all, she can be ranked as a ‘soldier’. But I believe that her bracelet is a strong magic item since it's able to block my power.”

Kira: “Hah… Finally someone normal, a king, three heroes and two gods and a dark god… I thought she was going to be a Prismatic God. ” She said as she sighed out of relief.

Kayan: “Don’t be ridiculous, within the many million of years since the summoning ceremony began only ten were summoned.”

Kira: “Hahaha, that’s right. We should hurry and finish this as soon as possible, we have to see Kurona before the other summoned ones arrive.”
