"Summon."
With Aurora's order, a green and pink light burst out from the sword; It was so dazzling that Claudia subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes.
The shadow of the pair of spirit swords beca more and more blurred, and at the sa ti another figure gradually erged.
"So cute!" Claudia let out a squeal when she saw the appearance of the sword spirit inside.
A pink-haired girl in short bob cut jumped out of the light. She had a smooth, baby-like white skin and a delicate and yet cute face.
A pair of dark green eyes curiously observed the three people in front of her; the pink cat ears twitched restlessly on her head; the cat tail of the sa color behind her also swayed left and right playfully. Wearing a luxurious white dress with pink accent and green choker necklace, the catkin girl looked like a little princess walking straight out of a fairy tale.
Standing in front of Aurora, she raised her little dress and bowed slightly in curtsy.
"My na is Caila~ Nice to et you~ My Master, nyaa~"
"Good It's a very lively sword spirit."
Aurora nodded and opened the system to check Caila's specific information.

'Why is the attack power so high but her defense is so low? And wait, what the hell is this "sickly" status about?'
The word "sickly" stunned Aurora. Such a lively sword spirit didn't look sick at all. How could she be "sickly"?
Confused, Aurora directly clicked on Caila's status on the attribute interface to retrieve more information.
[Sickly: Poor physical fitness due to a curse. Stamina and physical endurance are lower than ordinary people]
"Oh, so that's why..." Aurora understood it all at once.
It basically ant that although Caila's attack power was very high, it was impossible for her to participate in long-term battles, so in the end, she could only end the battle with a surprise attack or break out quickly. Fortunately, she didn't try to summon her in the previous battle.
Apart from her basic attribute, what piqued her interest was the suspicious "curse" in system explanation. What kind of curse could still bound its victim even after she beca a spirit? It ant that it wasn't just sothing physical but most probably related to her own soul? Why such a adorable and cute girl had to suffer from such curse? Who are so cruel to curse such a lovely kid?
More and more questions popped up in her mind, but she quickly put them back at the back of her head, knowing that she won't get any answer anyti soon, at least she needed to increase Caila's favorability of herself first.
Seeing Caila, who was tilting her head slightly while looking at her, Aurora ca to a decision after pondering for a long ti and nodded sagely. Yosh! Just let her be a mascot! Cuteness is justice! Isn't this very eye-catching!
"I'm also very happy to et you, let's work hard for our rcenary group together in the future." Aurora smiled at Caila. "Claudia, you will take Caila to her room later, tomorrow morning we have to go to the rcenary Association to help her register as a rcenary, so let's go to bed early."
"Okay, Captain! Miss Caila, please co with !"
Claudia couldn't wait to hear Aurora say this, and imdiately stepped forward to hold her hand, and took the bewildered Caila out.
"Miss Flam! It seems that we can have an interesting pajama party tonight!" Claudia's excited voice could be vaguely heard even after closing the door.
"It's good to relax, just let them go..." Aurora sighed while holding her forehead, and then he fell asleep quickly after washing and changing into her night gown.
***
"Boom!"
thump thump thump~!
"Wake up! Wakey, wakey, wakey up~! Master is a lazy pig!"
Aurora, who was in a haze of sleep, faintly heard the sound of the door being opened, the sound of footsteps and...
"Gah!"
Aurora suddenly sensed sothing heavy pressed on her body, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Caila riding her on her stomach with a big, sparkling eyes watching her excitedly.
"Captain~ I'm sorry! I can't hold Miss Caila"
Claudia, who was wearing pajamas outside the door, covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look any further. She didn't expect Caila to wake up so early. She just opened her eyes and saw a lithe figure open the door and running out. Seeing the empty bed on her side, she jolted up and awoken instantly.
However, despite rushing up, she was still a step too late, and she could only helplessly watch Caila push open the door of Aurora's room, take off in a perfect jumping posture and finally sat on her stomach.
"Caila~ Tell , why you do such a thing so early in the morning?"
Listening the details from Claudia, the vein in Aurora's forehead bulged out, and she felt both angry and funny at the sa ti.
She grabbed Caila by the back of the neck like a kitten and lifted her off the bed. Just when she was about to teach her a lesson, she was almost giving up when she looked at the catkin girl's pitiful appearance. Fortunately, she was still able to resist and stared at her with solemn face.
"It's because it's because Master said that we're going to rcenary Association early in the morning Isn't it early in the morning now, Nyaa!"
Caila lowered her head and murmured in a low voice, secretly peeking a glance at her master once or twice before quickly retracting her gaze in hurry.
"I said early in the morning, but it's not this early."
Aurora pinched her furrowing glabella exasperatedly and sighed. It had always been so rowdy every ti she woke up ever since she ca to this new base. The first ti was Claudia and now Caila.
Please don't be a third ti, I beg you just let go! Aurora couldn't help but lant silently in her heart.
"Okay, I'll forget it this ti, but this isn't an example! I don't want to die in my comrade's hand so soon." Aurora waved for them to leave.
"Miss Caila! Let's go back first!" Claudia hurried up to help Caila leave, but the latter avoided her.
"Why, nyaa!"
"If you don't leave, do you still want to sit here and watch change clothes, Caila?" Aurora sat on the edge of the bed, pointed at her purple silk nightgown, and looked at Caila strangely.
"!!!"
Although they were both won, she didn't know why, but Caila was extrely embarrassed at this mont. Her little face turned as red as a ripe tomato in an instant. She lowered her head and stood up instantly, turning stiffly to the door before walking straight out like a chanical doll. When she reached the door, she imdiately ran away as if being chased by a dog.
"Phew~ Then Claudia... you also want to stay with to see change my clothes?"
After Caila rushed out, Aurora saw Claudia still standing here and stared at the door blankly, so she asked the sa question to her. Claudia, who ca back to her senses in the next second, also ran away as quickly as Caila like a frightened rabbit. The tip of her ears reddened like they were bleeding.
"Honestly, these two girls..." Aurora rubbed her abdon and stood up to change clothes.
Today she sported casual clothing: a nice white cotton laced shirt, the upper part slightly set loose, revealing her modest yet curvy cleavage, under a midnight blue leather breastplate that matched the shirt pretty well.
A big black belt and black corset circled neatly on her thin waist, accentuating her gorgeous curvy hips which were tightly hugged by black trousers. And a pair of leather boots adorning her feet. Her overall look was particularly endearing.
Although she didn't know much about fashion in her previous world, but she had seen many female players dressed stylishly. As Auror, there was no way she could dress as such, but now she was Aurora she wanted to try it for once.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror in the room and couldn't help but nod approvingly. Her choice of outfit matched perfectly with her golden blonde hair which was tied neatly in the back in a high ponytail. Although she often carried herself with boyish mannerisms, she was still a woman under that gauze, and as a woman, she also fancied beautiful things.
After changing clothes, Aurora suddenly thought of sothing and slowly lift a corner of the curtain to peek outside. After looking around, she lowered the curtain and showed a aningful smile.
If soone else was present at the mont, seeing the smile on her face would definitely make them numb all over, because at this mont, Aurora seed to be like a beast lurking in the dark, giving people a chilling feeling.
Aurora jumped directly from the window of her room, rolled into the nearby bushes, and then tiptoed towards a place under the cover of the bushes. After sneaking for about seven or eight minutes, Aurora walked around to the front of the window of her room, and then moved slowly towards a place in the sa direction, and finally saw a figure lying in the bushes in a far corner, staring intently at the entrance of their base.
"Ah~"
The corners of Aurora's mouth rose again, and she sneaked as quietly as a ghost cat and slowly approached the figure.
"Strange... why do I suddenly feel a chill?"
The figure felt his body shiver without any reason, and he started rubbing his arms trying to alleviate the symptoms.
After Olsen's failed ambush last night, Raging Tempest's Boss scold them like a vicious mother-in-law and beat them half-death. But what happened had already happened, and no matter how much he punished them, it wouldn't affect the general situation.
So, the leader ordered him to keep an eye on the situation of the Glory rcenary Corps as a spy, and to report imdiately if sothing happened, but since the monitoring last night, these few people have not been out of the house.
"Yawn~"
The figure yawned briefly before trying to focus back on his job. But, when he was concentrating and wanted to keep watching, a sharp pain suddenly ca from his back.
He looked back in pain and saw the observation target standing behind him at this mont with a cold smile on her mouth like an angel of death and an exquisite crimson sword in her hand piercing right through his heart from behind.
"You...you..." He just wanted to say sothing, but the brilliance in his eyes was swallowed by the darkness, and when his consciousness fell into eternal darkness, he vaguely heard a sentence...
"Ti for cleaning up the trashes. Shall we?"
