Omega Summoner

Chapter 1741: The Princess and the Demon I

”Mistress!” The guard that was outside suddenly rushed to report what was happening.

”We already know that there are four beings outside. You do not need to rush too much. We are just stalling for time to see what they want. Do you have that information?” Ina stated.

”Yes, mistress. They told me that they are looking for the young lady.” The guard stated which made Yumekoʼs parents become all ears.

”Might it actually be true?” Ina stated as she turned to her husband.

”It might just be coincidence since our little girl only said a week. It is not strange for that to happen but what do they want with my little girl?” Saito Hajime asked the guard with a fierce voice.

”They only want to meet with the young lady. One of the beings outside even told us that his name is Nether. He said that the young lady would know what that means.” The guard stated which brought a shock to Yumekoʼs parents and even the house god, Shirohe.

”Thank you but we must make sure that my daughter is safe. I should let Kondo be the one to judge their characters.” Ina stated as the guard returned to the gate to relay the message.

”What should we do? It seems that our daughterʼs dreams were not merely figments of her overactive imagination?” Ina stated towards her husband.

”If they really did come here to cure Yumeko, then we should invite them, but we need to test their character first. Kondo will not fight them but gauge their intent which he is very proficient.” Saito Hajime stated.

”Mistress!” One of Yumekoʼs attendants suddenly stated quite loudly as she entered the main hall.

”What is it? What is the problem?” Ina asked.

”The young lady has evaded our sights. We were playing hide and seek but she no longer hides in the spot she always does. When I said that the game is over, she did not jump out of her hiding spot. I fear that she must have been taken.” The attendant stated as she started crying.

”Do not worry. If my daughter was no longer in the premises, then Shirohe should have been alarmed. She is keeping watch over the sacred flame after all. The sacred flame and Yumeko are connected so anything that happens to it will alert us of what happened to my daughter as well.

She probably got bored playing and is sneaking into the kitchen for some snacks.” Ina stated but she suddenly felt that was not the case.

”Search everywhere for my daughter! She must not meet the ones outside or else she might get tricked.” Ina commanded as she did not believe Yumeko that Nether was real.

Shirohe started to look for Yumeko as well as the latter is not easy to pinpoint. Shirohe has always made sure to have her eyes on Yumeko because she cannot sense her even in the territory. Yumekoʼs aura is like that of a ghost and Shirohe might even say that Yumekoʼs aura is even fainter than one.

She would physically watch over Yumeko when she is awake to make sure that the latter does not leave her gaze. There are instances where she does not look after Yumeko like when she is needed in the main hall. She can sense Yumekoʼs presence, but it is not absolute which is why she makes sure that an attendant would always be beside Yumeko.

Yumeko started wandering around the halls after sneaking into the kitchen to get a dango. She wanted to try the food that Nether would eat as her mother ordered all her favorites to be made for the week. Should Nether not visit then she would just eat her favorite food, so she is always in a good mood.

”I wonder when Nether would come?” Yumeko stated as she knew that the effects of the dust are starting to wear off.

Yumeko could feel that she is starting to become lethargic once again which is why she is making use of all the energy she has right now. If Nether does not come in a week, then Yumeko might fall into a long sleep once again which she does not like. She sincerely hoped that everything was not just a dream as she longed to be cured.

”Nether?!” Yumeko suddenly stated as she felt an aura that is incredibly familiar to what Adrian releases in Limbo.

Yumeko is very perceptive as a being that could dream walk. She needs to be very perceptive because she must never dream walk in a place that has numerous evil spirits or even mischievous elementals. She can also feel danger preemptively which is why she is hailed as incredibly perceptive that Master Omnyojiʼs would want to teach her.

”That must be Nether! He must be at the gate!” Yumeko stated as she immediately ran towards the gate.

”To think that the world is extremely small. You even managed to cure someone with Eternal Sleep. I commend you for being such a dedicated person. You must treasure Yumeko a lot.” Adrian stated which made Kondo a bit frazzled which made the latter leak his sword aura.

Adrian responded in kind and released his aura as well, but he did not use his Asmodian one but his Netheros aura. Adrian did not want to suddenly release his aura as it might be seen as a sign of aggression. He made sure to provoke Kondo into releasing his aura so that he can also release his.

”Yumeko should now be able to feel that. She is very perceptive about auras after all. I taught her so that should be a given.” Adrian stated as he taught Yumeko how to judge other people based on their auras that she can feel as she does not have an evil eye like him.

”Nether!” Yumeko shouted out loud as she was still far away as the group at the gate looked at the cute little girl running towards them.
