As we made our way through the forest, the time Kagemusha stayed summoned quickly ran to an end. This forest didn’t have any fruits because all the trees were evergreen, mostly spruce. I did find some wild berries, but they are not super filling. At least they were not poisonous. Kage did take the role of poisoer even thought system said the berries are fine. Wheime a card appeared under Kagemusha.

  “This is goodbye, Master. I hope to serve you again.”

  “Yes, Kagemusha of the Blue Fme. You have served me well. I also hope I get the opportunity to summon you again.”

  Kagemusha lowered himself back to the kneeling position that he had been in when he was summoned and theered the card on the ground. As that happened, his card in my right hand also vanished. I kinda was hoping the card would stay sense I said I would summon him again. I don’t even know if it will be him again or some alternative world version of him that I summon, if I get anemusha of the Blue Fme.

  As I keep walking, I finally decide to ask system about the cards disappearing.

  “System support, do you know if there is a way to keep the cards from disappearing after using them?”

  (Masters skill is not a normal part of this world. Information on finer points is not avaible. If Masters skill works like most skills in this world, it should get better as Master uses it and as Master levels up.)

  “So level ups and usage. Or I’ll have to get used to saying goodbye to servants like him. Well let’s hope for the best. It would also be o be able to use spells multiple times. I just imagine unlimited uses of Pot of Greed. So many packs…”

  As I was daydreaming about something I knew will never be, system support pulled me out of it.

  (Master, you o keep walking if you want to make it into town today.)

  “Yeah…”

  —

  (Master, 3 goblins ahead. Please course a little more to the right to avoid them.)

  “Sure” I answered in a quiet voice to systems reendation.

  Our walk through the forest has gone on for an hour more, saying goodbye to Kage. With system supports help, I haven’t run into any monsters and these goblihe first we had to ge course to avoid. This forest really isn’t a home to very mas. It really might be too rown for them. But shouldn’t that make it a great pall herbivores as that hunt them. Actually what do monsters eat? System did warn me about a goblin group, but what were they doing? Hunting or maybe scouting? Do these goblio kidnap females to reproduce?

  (Master, goblins do have females, but they also reproduce with humanoid females of other races, so goblins do sometimes kidnap females. However the group we avoided is too small to be a kidnapping group, because even a young female could kill two or three goblins.)

  “Even if they are unarmed?`”

  (Uhree might be difficult but one is easy.)

  “Why do goblins eveo kidnap people if they have females of their own?”

  (Goblins born from females of other races have a high likelihood of being hobgoblins.)

  “So cross-species reprodu is good evolution. Good to know.”

  (No Master. Hobgoblin is not an evolved goblin, it is its own species.)

  “Then how is one borween a goblin and a human?”

  (Unknown. Hobgoblins might simply be abnormally rge goblins and a bigger human body is more likely to give birth to one.)

  “God, goblin biology must be a mess.”

  (Yes you are right master for example…)

  “Stop it! I don’t want to know. My brain is already fried with stupid goblin info. All I o know is that they are bad and should be killed. I almost want to turn bad kill the three we left back there.”

  (I ot reend that. The edge of the forest is only 200 meters away from us.)

  “That should make moving easier. I also summon a panda to ride. Beast taxi for the win.”

  (Are you sure you use your summons so freely master? You don’t have ma.)

  “I still have three pack tokens and the panda will make sure that no mory to attack me on the way to town. I also open those packs while riding a panda, which would be more difficult to do while walking.”

  It’s actually kinda iing that I’m not super tired from all this walking. Taking the dungeon into sideration I have been walking for little over three hours now. I definitely should be more tired by now. Did my body improve that much from 2 level ups? Or was it upgraded by the world hopping?

  —

  The rown forest came to an end aered pins with some trees still around, but at least I could see more than 50 meters ahead of me. The trees are also different from the trees in the forest. In the forest the trees were evergreens, mainly spruce or something that looks like spruce. I think there were some pines closer to the dungeorance as well. But on these pins looked to be mostly some kind of oaks.

  “Are they fruit trees? Some of them have fruits hanging from them?”

  (Master they are cabo trees and the fruit is cabo fruit. It is not poisonous, but it tastes very bad. I do not reeing them unless you must. The berries in the forest taste much better.)

  “Well that sucks. I just wanted some fruit.”

  (Master might want to summon another monster now. There are wild boars in this area.)

  “Sure. We also should get a move on so we might get to town today.”

  I pull Frenzied Panda from my right pocket. I think a panda is more fun to ride than a big turkey. Sorry Skull Red Bird.

  “I summon Frenzied Panda.”

  The already familiar sight of a card on the ground appeared and from it a rge panda rose. The panda was quite rge but not as big as Uraby was. He was holding a long bamboo stid stood at 2,4 meters tall. Not bad at all.

  “Hello. Will you let me ride you?”

  “Growl.”

  The panda responded with a growl and hen he pced his bamboo stick bato a card that reappeared on the ground for just enough time to take it in. So they put their ons away. That’s nice if I ever have a warrior monster with me in a town. I mean they look kinda like humans so they should do fine in towns.

  “ you get that bamboo stick back when you want?”

  “Growl”

  With anrowl Frenzied Panda pced its front paws on the ground and from the quickly appearing card pulled out the bamboo stick. Then he pced it bato the card and got on all fours to let me ride him.

  “Okay, let’s roll out!”

  (Master, I don’t think we will be rolling.)

  “Fine, let's move. You really ruin my references system.”

  (I apologize Master, but I simply ot uand them as they are not of this world.)

  “So you realize that they are not of this world, but ’t realize not to ent on them. Your thinking process is strange.”

  (I apologize, Master. I will try to do better iure.)

  “No, it’s fine. I like that side of you as well.”

  (Thank you.) a quiet reply came.

  Is system really getting a personality. I o e up with a name for her if she is, but her voice is just like hers so it would be weird to call her anything but that. But she dumped me. I name someone as helpful as the system after her?
