?[Rewards]

Grant System

intermediate weapon box

15 attribute points

+1 skill level up

Shaman stared at the rewards amazed by what the system is giving her. She taps on the Grant system to see what it exactly meant as surely it's not the same one she has.

[Grant System]

[Can be given to allies which allows them to have an inventory and the ability to assign their stats, They can earn more features of the system if the bond between user and ally deepens and if the user allows it]

[They have to pledge loyalty to the user. If loyalty is broken the system will be removed and all items will be transferred to the user's inventory and all stats will revert to before being granted the system (System grant won't be given back if loyalty is broken)]

Shaman had to blink a few times as she could not believe what she was seeing. She also turned back to the fox girl who had a peaceful expression on her face.

'I think the system wants me to use it on her. Looks like I get to have a friend, let's hope she can cook.' Even though it didn't cross her mind to befriend the girl, seeing that the system was suggesting to grant her a system didn't mind at all.

'I wonder if she will be willing to take the system though.' Shaman was worried that the girl may want to return home, so she felt like there was no point in trying.

'Anyway let's use this weapon box, I want to save the accessory box for the fox girl as a gift.' Shaman opened up her inventory and deciding to give the girl a accessory as a gift went ahead and used the weapon box for herself.

'I have gotten quite fond of the katana, I think I might just get it again.' Without really looking, Shaman got a tier 2 katana from the box.

[Intermediate katana (tier 2)]

[Rarity: Rare]

Dexterity + 5

[Activate weapon to get a 5% in movement speed]

'Wow, I was not expecting to get anything that had a skill on it, it seems like the rarity is random and I got lucky.' Shaman equipped the katana and kept the other one in her inventory as she intends to give it to the fox girl so she has a weapon as well.

'I have a shit ton of points, now let's get spending.'

'Now that is all set, let's go for a bath' Shaman made her way to the bathroom leaving the girl and Wolfy.

*

As Shaman was humming away in the bathtub, the girl woke up, shooting up from the bed in shock. Looking around, she found herself in a unfamiliar place, but this time not chained up or confined anywhere.

"So it wasn't a dream." The girl had a happy expression as tears again flowed out.

"Gosh, when did I become such a crybaby." The girl wiped away the tears and tried compose herself.

*Growwlll~* Feeling her stomach churn, she tried to see where the woman that saved her went, but then she heard someone in the bathroom.

'Seems like she went and had a bath, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I had some food, she did save me after all.' Carefully getting out of bed, she made her way to the kitchen to get some food but when she opened the pantry all she was met with were canned noodles.

'Is this girl serious, does she only eat noodles?' She was shocked at the number of noodles as it looked like they would last at least a few months.

'Is she planning to never leave her room for months or what?' shaking her head, she grabs one anyway.

'looks like she doesn't know how to cook, seems there is one thing I can do and that's to cook for her.' Smiling, she was glad she possibly found a way to repay the girl and even though it may be just a personal cook as long as she can live nicely then it's okay with her.

After eating and patting Wolfy for a while Shaman entered the room with only a towel on.

The girl quickly looked away as her face turned bright red.

"Oh you're awake, sorry I did not expect you to be up, I'll go get changed." Despite Shaman's calm voice, her face was red, but she wanted to keep the cool image so she tried acting like it was no big deal.

After quickly getting changed and recovering from the embarrassment she sat next to the girl and introduced herself.

"Well let's start, I'm Shaman Shiroi and as you may know I came to the underground facility to hope to at least save someone," Shaman spoke in a cheery tone trying not to ruin the mood. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

"Well u-uh, I'm E-Elysia Dahlia and thank you for saving me." After saying her name she hugged Shaman as she was forever grateful to her.

"Hey it is alright, but first we need you some clothes and get you in the bath." Shaman said in a sarcastic tone as the state of Elysia was still rather messy.

"Oh yeah sorry" Elysia let go of Shaman and stood up.

"Here are some clothes." Shaman pulled a pair of White pyjamas out of her inventory.

"How do you do that without any magic?" Elysia asked in a curious tone as she could not see a speck of magic used.

"I'll explain after you wash up and change, I also have more things to give as well." Shaman shooed her away into the bathroom.

"Also when you're done you can just throw out your old clothes, I will go out now to buy you some more as I don't think my clothes will really fit you besides that baggy top I just gave you." Shaman yelled through the door as she realised that Elysia had quite the chest and could not help but feel envious.

"Okay, if you can, are you able to get white clothes as they happen to be my favourite colour." Elysia shouted back a bit surprised by her offer, but happy nonetheless Shaman was going so far for her.

"Okay, I'll be back in a moment." Shaman left the apartment locking the door behind her.

Although it was still dark shops were open 24/7 as people are always out and about in the central area and the city had a heavy focus on adventuring causing many people to stay up late.

<Back in the apartment>

Elysia continued to take a bath but she ended up also crying as not many people had cared for her except for her family and it finally sunk in.

'Mum, dad and brother, if you're listening I think finally I will be able to live on with a happy life.' Elysia looked at the ceiling with sad but happy eyes.

'Enough thinking, let's relax.' 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

After sitting in the bath for 10 mins she could hear someone unlock the door and enter the building.

Elysia got a little vigilant as she was aware that there may be still people after her.

"Shaman is that you?" Elysia called out with a worried tone.

"It's okay it's me Elysia, and I got you some clothes. I'm coming in and leaving some underwear on the bathroom bench as well."

"Okay." Elysia let out a sigh of relief while Shaman entered the room. She quickly left the clothes and swiftly exited the room.

'heh, she was embarrassed.' Elysia chuckled as she thought she was the only one who was affected but clearly that was not the case.

After washing up she got changed and luckily the top fit but it showed her curves.

"Ahhh~ I have not bathed that well since I was forced to run away from home." Elysia let out a satisfied moan then walked out of the bathroom.

Shaman was sitting on the bed casually and when Elysia walked in she looked over.

'Damn where did my curves go?' Shaman internally clicked her tongue as she was jealous of Elysia's proportions. It felt like she was still a young teenager while Elysia was a fully grown elegant woman.

"Ah you're done, now what sort of jewellery do you want?" Shaman casually threw the question out as she needed to know for the box she got.

"Hmmm I'm a fan of rings, only simple ones, so no big shiny diamonds on them." Elysia without thinking too much about why Shaman asked gave her an honest answer.

Shaman then pulled out a small box and chose the ring option.

'Wait, is she going to propose to me.' Elysia's face instantly went red and she started to fidget while her thoughts went wild.

"Wait I'm not proposing I'm just grabbing something to give you." Shaman knew what Elysia was thinking and tried to explain while opening the box and pulling out the ring.

"The ring I'm giving you has special effects and will help you in battle." Shaman quickly explained as her face went red as well.

"O-Oh sorry." Elysia turned around and reluctantly took the ring and put it on, but then she suddenly felt lighter.

[Ring of lightness]

AGI + 5

STR + 3

Elysia's eyes widened as Shaman was right and it felt amazing.

"Wow, this is amazing, thank you Shaman. Is there anything you want?" Elysia felt like there was going to be some sort of catch as the kindness Shaman gave was too much.

"You don't need to give me anything, I just wanted to help you out and you could say I felt obliged since you are also a fox. Something in me just wants to help you." Shaman didn't have a specific as to why she was giving Elysia so much, she just wanted to help the only person that she was able to save.

Elysia broke again and got teary-eyed as she looked at Shaman since it seemed like the great things wouldn't stop.

"Oh don't cry, come here I'll give you a hug." Shaman felt bad and despite contrast in proportions, she still felt responsible in caring for Elysia and her well being.

Elysia hesitated for a moment, but knowing she was finally free couldn't help but indulge herself, so she jumped into Shaman's arms.

"Thank you *hic* so much, I am eternally *hic* grateful for you." Elysia cried her eyes out on Shaman's shoulder.

"It's okay, cry as much as you want." Shaman then patted Elysia till she fell asleep but then a system message popped up.

[Elysia is eligible to be granted a System will you give it to her]

[Yes/no]

"Yes." Shaman didn't hesitate and quietly spoke while gesturing Wolfy to turn off the light.

The system went silent and was unsure if it worked but she would find out tomorrow as she still had many things to explain and give to her.

'I would have liked to have done it tonight but it seems like Elysia has been through too much and needs some rest and so do I.' Since being already on the bed she pulled the covers over her and Elysia and they both fell asleep hugging each other.
