Chapter 222: CH.219: Greenwood Elf.
( Yuuki's POV )
With my powers, I made a tree grow extra long, and from the top of it, the three of us watched the mysterious group do their thing.
I purposely left some portals in a half-open state, so creatures could cross into this world more easily, I wanted to know how they operated in this situation, and that would also help to keep them off our trail.
After observing them for a short time, I concluded that they could not close the rifts in space, and their mode of operation was to deal with things as they came rather than stop them before they appeared.
My break didn't give me much time to size up the enemy so after telling the girls that Pheliss would be coming later in case they needed anything, I returned to the school roof.
For the rest of the school day, I continued to ignore the new girl, Erica, but now she wasn't looking at me as much, that should be a good thing, but it gave me a bad feeling.
Then, when we were leaving school, I saw Erica along with two other foreign girls, one with blonde hair tied in pigtails and the other had silver hair, they were picked up by a luxurious black car, well they had the air of rich girls so that was no surprise.
Yuuki: Hey Hajime I need you to cover for me.
Hajime: Huh why?
Yuuki: There are things I need to do, but don't worry, I'll be back before your parents get home, If they ask, just say that I was with you all day.
Hajime: Ok, count on me.
After confirming Hajime's support, I returned to the abandoned temple, just to pick up the girls, even if their stay was going to be a short one, they had to familiarize themselves with the city.

Shera: Yuuki, are you sure these pendants are working? many people are looking our way.
Yuuki: my pendants work perfectly, thank you very much, they are looking in this direction because you two are too attractive.
Lucoa: oww little Yuuki~ you make me blush.
Yuuki: Leaving my preferences aside, I'm just speaking objectively.
Lucoa: You're no fun.
Yuuki: jeez, you want the cops to be called on you, woman.
After exploring some of the city, we went to a fast food restaurant, where Shera was finally able to relax after swallowing a lot of food, but it's not like I can talk, both Lucoa and I ate twice what she ordered.
Yuuki: Listen, while you're here I need you to help me by monitoring and dealing with cracks in space.
Lucoa: I already said that I don't like to fight.
Yuuki: That's fine, as long as you don't cause too much trouble, I'll consider it a victory.
Lucoa: Little Yuuki, you're a bully.
Yuuki: No, I'm not.
Shera: will we have to stay in that temple?
Yuuki: that would be the best, that place is in perfect distance from the city and the hot zone in the mountains, It's perfect for a base, but don't worry, I'll rebuild the place completely.
Shera: That's fine, I guess, I'm pretty good with the bow, so you can lean on me for help.
Yuuki: That's good to hear, let's start fixing the temple, I can't let you stay in a place that is falling apart.
Lucoa: You are too kind, little Yuuki~
The following days, I continued going to the temple after school, The place was completely renovated in a couple of days, but since the place was abandoned before, no one came to leave an offering, not that that was a problem.
The two girls from another world were wearing authentic priestess outfits, while we were sweeping the temple, since no new creatures had entered this world, we were keeping a low profile.
Lucoa: Hey little Yuuki~
Yuuki: um What is it now?
Lucoa: The fridge is emptying, can I have some money?
Yuuki: Ok, if you're going out you can buy some things for me.
Lucoa: Sure~
I gave her a list of things I needed and she happily skipped off into the city, leaving me alone with Shera, who began stealing glances at me repeatedly.
Yuuki: Did you need something from the city?
Shera: No, well, the truth is I wanted to ask you something.
Yuuki: What is it?
Shera: If possible I would like you to help me form a contract with a powerful monster like you did that night.
Yuuki: Oh, just that, that's no problem, but I need to make some preparations, wait for me tonight.
Shera: Seriously, thank you very much!
When I agreed to help her, Shera jumped to hug me to show her gratitude, It was a good thing Lucoa wasn't here, she'd probably be upset that I didn't push Shera like I do with her, and I don't want to deal with that.
Yuuki: Don't worry, it's no big deal, I'll get back to you tonight with your bow ready.
/////////////////////////
Later that night, I found a very anxious Shera looking at me with sparkling eyes, I began to draw the magic circle on the ground while Shera looked at me curiously.
Yuuki: Don't take this the wrong way but how strong were you considered in your world?
Shera: Well, it's a bit embarrassing to say, but I was just a beginner adventurer.
Yuuki: nothing embarrassing, we all have to start somewhere, before starting, I will give you a little explanation of how things are going to go.
Yuuki: You will have to pour magic energy into the magic circle to activate it, the amount and quality of your power determines what kind of creature will respond to your call, so put as much as you can, And when something responds, you will have to fight to gain its obedience.
Shera: Am I going to have to fight? Wouldn't it be better to do that, not at night?
Yuuki: don't worry, girl, I got you covered, Mythra, Pheliss.
When I called their names, my blades appeared at my side in their human form, but then they transformed and flew into my hands.
I stuck my black spear into the ground, and a huge dome-shaped barrier was created around us, then I threw my colossal sword into the sky, which created a sphere of light that simulated daylight inside the dome.
Yuuki: This should do it right?
