Although Blue Dragon Sios had lost to Sardonyx, it was still a rank 7. Despite that, it would lose most of its forr strength if it was revived as a bone dragon.
If it was a bone dragon, though, it would be able to resurrect for as long as the core, the equivalent of a dragons heart, was intact.
[Progress Rate until summoned 50%]
[Conditions for the 'Body' have been fulfilled.]
[To go beyond 50%, sothing comparable to a dragons core is required.]
"Impressive," YuSung mumbled in surprise while reading Sumire's hologram.
"Is is that so?"
"Although each entity is different, a bone dragon is a familiar spirit comparable to a rank 6 boss monster. Of course, we still need to find a core"
Sumire's fighting capability had constantly been increasing since she obtained Laplaces fragnt, but she still felt uneasy, almost as if shed committed a cri.
"B-but still The dragon skull is a rare ingredient It's sothing you obtained from soloing a raid. I cannot accept this for free S-so I was thinking"
After becoming a Seven, Sumire had been saving up whatever money she could after sending most of it to Japan.
Even if they were aiming to beco hunters, most of them were students. Still, Sumire had received money for participating in the International Competition and had taken part in dungeon subjugations.
Thanks to that, she had saved up 30K USD.
"It it's still not enough, but slowly"
As Sumire showed him her balance, YuSung shook his head.
"It's okay, Sumire. I planned to use the skull to strengthen my party. Of course, I wasn't expecting it to be used for a summoning ceremony"
YuSung didn't need hunter equipnt in the first place, so he didn't mind how the skull was used as long as his party mbers beca stronger.
"Sumire, we're all receiving a lot of help from you. You always cook for us. That's enough."
"Cook" Sumire mumbled while making a moved expression.
Her cooking was enough. That ant he thought her cooking had almost as much value as a dragon skull, which had a minimum market value of five million USD.
"You like my cooking that much" She knew how much YuSung liked her cooking, but she couldnt help but feel moved.
"Yes. Just being able to eat your food is enough."
'Paying this debt with food?'
On average, it cost her five dollars to cook for one person.
Five million USD was enough money for Sumire to prepare 961,538 lunch boxes with money left over.
If she cooked three als a day, that should be 320,512 days.
878 years
No matter how luxurious the food she prepared was, it would at least take 200 years.
She gathered so courage and said, "Then, to repay you for the skull, I'll cook for you! Is is that okay?"
YuSung nodded at her. It was a miraculous mont when YuSung's dragon skull was exchanged for Sumire's food coupons.
"Sumire, take care of Adela until the day of the Tower's subjugation. Let her stay in your dormitory, please."
Thanks to EunAh's opposition, Adela ended up staying in Sumire's room.
'If it's Sumire'
If they thought about it, EunAh opened her heart and thought she wanted to stay in the party thanks to Sumire as well, not just YuSung.
Unlike YuSung, Sumire was very social, so she would definitely be able to be friendly with Adela.
"Leave it to !" Sumire replied with a smile.
YuSung also smiled. "Then, I'll leave it to you."
Sumire left the room, and YuSung looked at Gaons sunlit grounds.
'So'
Whether it was building a party capable of subjugating the Tower or obtaining strength to fulfill his dream, YuSung was preparing everything step by step, but
'Is it ti?'
Since everyone had gotten stronger, he also had a wall he needed to surpass.

Sumire's dormitory was clean and organized.
Adela slowly looked around. "It's quite a clean room It slls good as well."
The scent was from a diffuser that had a stick shaped like a violet flower.
Sumire smiled proudly as the diffuser she liked so much was praised. "Is is that so? Then think of this as your house and stay comfortably!"
Adela silently sat on the sofa as Sumire tidied up a bit and changed. Then, they stared awkwardly at each other.
"This is your room, so I'll bathe once you're done."
"Aah"
Unlike EunAh, who had bathing with a friend of the sa gender on her bucket list, Adela seed to want to bathe after her.
She'd spent a lot of ti with EunAh but barely knew Adela.
[Sumire, take care of Adela until the day of the Tower's subjugation. Let her stay in your dormitory, please.]
Shed gathered her courage after hearing YuSungs request, though.
"Then, rather than waiting alone, why don't we take a bath together?"
"Together?" Adela tilted her head at Sumire's proposal.
"Yes! Although the bathtub isn't that big, both of us should be able to enter!"
After thinking about it for a short while, Adela nodded. "It's my first ti bathing with another person but I don't mind."
* * * *
Steam rose from the bathtub. Adela was the type of person who took many showers, but Sumire preferred the Japanese style of sinking into a tub.
"How's the temperature?" Sumire asked with a smile.
Adela nodded as if she recognized the true aning of a bath. "It feels like my tiredness is going away It seems like taking baths after subjugations will be better than taking showers."
There was an awkward silence after they finished talking. They just looked at each other until Sumire opened her mouth as she looked at Adelas body.
"Woah Adela, you have good skin. You don't have any imperfections, and it's really white"
Sumire began tickling Adela. "On top of that, it's really soft~" She was being playful because she wanted to get close.
Adela ended up laughing from the tickles. "Ugh, ah" Because of her pale skin, even if her face slightly turned red, it was extrely apparent.
"It's my first ti seeing you embarrassed"
Adela's reactions grew more extre after a few changes of emotion. Sumire seed to be having fun teasing her.
"Why don't we put so foam on each other? If youre okay with it, of course" Sumire began asking for more things to get closer to Adela.
"Although it's a bit embarrassing Sure. I feel like it's going to be a good experience." Adela subrged all of her body other than her eyes. Sumire had seen a familiar scene when she entered the bathtub with EunAh.
The bathtub was an interesting place.
EunAh and Adela were both very confident, but why did they both feel embarrassed inside a bathtub?
'She might be cuter than I thought'
Thanks to that, Sumire's scary and cold image of Adela started to change.
* * * *
After finishing their bath, Sumire and Adela sat on the bed.
"There isn't anything better than this before sleeping!"
Of course, that was because Sumire had insisted they watch a horror movie together.
In reality, watching a horror movie in Sumire's house was a long-standing tradition.
[3. Watching a horror movie while eating cookies.]
It was number three on EunAh's bucket list. That list had been one of the biggest reasons for Sumire and EunAh getting closer.
It was a humble goal for soone who was the heir of a big conglorate, but Sumire was the first sa-gender friend EunAh had made.
"This is a horror movie that's quite popular in Japan. It has a ghost that appears from the TV and curses you" After giving her a brief explanation of the story, Sumire turned on the TV.
"I see." Adela didn't seem that interested until the movie started. She was never interested in things like watching movies.
[ZZ, ZZZ!]
[Kukuku]
As the movie started, a ghost erged from a TV while holding a katana.
"Woah" Adela exclaid in surprise.
"Huh? Why is a ghost holding a katana?" Sumire, on the other hand, was surprised at the unexpected direction the story was taking. That wasnt the only weird thing about the movie.
[Ssss! Chuee!]
As a black alien ca out and began dripping saliva, Sumire's doubts beca a reality.
"There's sothing strange with this movie!"
Only then did she check the title.
[Space's strongest alien VS Samurai curse ghost!]
What Sumire wanted to see was a movie that was called sothing like TV's Curse or sothing, but she ended up picking a third-rate parody by mistake.
[I'm Samdako, Jun Connor. I ca out of the TV from the future to save you.]
After saying that, the ghost drew a sword.
BZZT.
A sowhat recognizable blue light began shining from the katana.
"Oh" Adela was watching the third-rate parody movie with great interest.
"The alien is strong enough to conquer the universe, but if it's a laser weapon capable of cutting through the hardest steel like that There's definitely a chance."
