"I lost again," Arthur said with a little resentment in his tone. He threw the cards in his hand to the ground and stared at Tom who was wearing glasses and shaking his head while making a sound: "tsk tsk".
At the same time, he wrote something in his notebook (Tom won 6 times, Arthur lost 6 times out of 6 matches) and said: "Were you cheating?" Tom raised his head a little and stared behind him, then pointed his finger at him as if to say: "Me?" Arthur said: "Who else here is named Tom?" Tom denied decisively.
Arthur sighed and said: "Okay, okay, I believe you." Arthur turned his head and stared at the yellow primordial who was lying on the ground with only Arthur's cloak covering her. Arthur got up from his position and walked over to the yellow primordial and knelt in front of her face and stared at her intently.
He said: "It seems she is sleeping well." Arthur raised his head to the sky and thought: "Noon is coming soon, it's better to go back to the castle".
Arthur said in a loud voice: "Tom, can you bring me a stretcher?" Tom raised his head and nodded. Then he got up and started to collect some pieces of wood. Sometimes he would throw away the bad pieces of wood and collect the good ones.
He sighed and sat down next to the yellow primordial and said to himself: "hi system can you consider what I did a mission? After all, out of three missions, two were related to the yellow primordial or interacting with her, so if I pulled out a hair from her again, could that be considered the completion of another hidden mission?"
But now one answered, Arthur was silent for a moment and stared at the yellow primordial. He almost reached out his hand. To pluck some yellow hairs, but he suddenly stopped and said: Forget it, even if it is important, I cannot take advantage of her sleep to pluck some hairs, after all, the human nature is really difficult. Once you make a hole in the wall, it will penetrate it and destroy it over time. If I allow myself to take advantage of her sleep now and pluck some hairs, I do not know what I will do next time or what I will take from her?"
Arthur sighed and lay on the ground with his eyes closed, waiting for Tom to finish making the stretcher to carry the yellow primordial to the castle, but as time passed, Arthur felt very sleepy and little by little his consciousness fell into the darkness and he fell asleep and he did not notice the faint frown that was drawn on the yellow primordial face.
"euuh... Where am I?" jaune opened her eyes and she said to herself: "I can't use mana, and I don't even feel it around me, as if I was in a sealed spiritual state, but a while ago I was fighting Tom, and it seems that he released his unique skill that isolated the mana from me and made me lose consciousness. After that, I found myself here is this another skill of Tom?".
Suddenly, a wave of laughter erupted: "hahaha I see that you are awake now, I have been waiting for you for a very, very, very long time."
jaune tried to locate the source of the voice but found it coming from everywhere and from every angle. She tried to step back while she was speaking: "You were waiting for me? Who are you? Do I know you???".
She said to herself: "I don't remember hearing this voice, although I caused trouble everywhere in the world, but I don't forget people easily…"
While jaune was thinking, nine chains suddenly emerged from the void, each chain having a specific shape and color. Five chains out of the nine stopped in space, and the other four continued to advance and entangled with her limbs, hanging them in space, unable to move.
The Yellow Primordial was shocked, as the time the chains appeared and the time she where caught was less than a second. She couldn't even respond, and her thoughts were in a state of chaos. She stared at the four chains, each giving a different feeling, which were the feelings of wetness, breeze, crushing, and burning. She muttered to herself: "Do the chains contain elemental spirits inside them?".
The sound of crazy laughter interrupted her again: "Fufufufu I really love that expression on your face now that expression that is full of despair and helpless and powerless I will play with you slowly".
Jaune felt bad in her heart she wanted to say something but she realized that she couldn't even move her mouth and all she heard was the sound of fingers cracking followed by a girl's harsh and at the same time distant voice: "Don't spoil the atmosphere darling with words I will start playing with you then".
As soon as those words came out, the glow of the four chains increased followed by an increase in the intensity of the four sensations coming from her limbs the slight warm wetness turned into an extremely cold wetness and the slight burning sensation turned into a feeling of blood boiling and evaporating and the pressure sensation turned into a feeling of heaviness and crushing and as for the breeze it became a feeling of being cut to millions of pieces.
The yellow primordial tried to comprehend what was happening to her but the intense pain did not allow her to do anything but condense one thought in her mind: Why? Who is she? What's happening? ".
Then jaune entered a state of incomprehension and insensitivity so that she did not hear the girl slippery voice: Unfortunately, I wanted to have more fun with you darling, but this is enough for now, although I want to play more, but in this way they might wake up too and I do not want that... Joseph to know of my existence yet.
"Okay, you can sleep now." As soon as the girl finished speaking, she snapped her fingers, and the chains that were holding the unconscious yellow primordial disappeared again. All she heard was the girl's resonant words: "You better not make a mistake again, or else don't blame me for what will happen to you fufufufu".
The yellow primordial senses disappeared, and her consciousness fell into darkness again, and she entered a state of sleep.
Inside the castle, Arthur sat in the large hall and stroked Tom's head, saying: "Thank you, Tom, for bringing me here. It must have been hard for you, you are really my Hero".
Tom smiled a big smile and felt shy and waved his hands towards Arthur as if to say: "Never mind, never mind, don't embarrass me, oh man." Arthur sighed closed his eyes and said to himself: "Who would have thought that I would sleep while waiting for the yellow primordial? Fortunately, Tom made a double stretcher and carried the yellow primordial and I to the castle hmmm how I should reward him".
Arthur opened his mouth and said: "Tom, how about I take you to the city one day and pay for whatever you want to eat instead of chicken?" Tom silently analyzed, then extended his hand towards Arthur, who shook it naturally.
Tom then took out a piece of paper from his back and the content was: Arthur pledges to pay for what Tom the cat eats when they visit the city. He took out a pen with it and asked Arthur to sign.
Arthur took the pen without thinking much and signed the paper. Tom took the paper carefully and signed it and put it behind his back. Then he stared slyly towards the horizon and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Arthur did not see Tom's behavior now because in his mind a voice that he had not heard since yesterday rang out: "Ding, congratulations to the host for completing three hidden tasks".
