A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Once Helena said that, Lydia and the rest burst into laughter.

Helena then looked at them with a smirk expression in her face.

'These silly girls don't want to respect me again. I guess it's because I am too familiar with them. And maybe I should start giving them the serious face and give them commands.' She said inwardly.

Although she said this, she definitely wouldn't mean it.

As they were busy looking at each other for who would leave the large bed that they were all in to the couch and rest there, a knock suddenly sounded on their door.

Knock!

Helena then quickly stood to her feet to go open the door for who knocked on it. She knew that it was the Inn attendant, so she didn't want to keep her waiting.

Immediately she opened the door, she saw to her surprise that it wasn't the attendant but Teanna, the enforcer from the Law Enforcement and Punishment Faculty.

Helena who was shocked by the sudden appearance of Teanna at their doorstep asked in a stuttering manner "S-Senior Teanna, what are you doing here?"

"Am I not welcome in? I can leave if you want me to." Teanna said with a serious expression appearing in her face.

"No. Why would I want to do that? Please come in" Helena said.

Teanna nodded and then went in, causing Lydia and the rest to be tremendously shocked once they saw her. 

When Helena closed the door back, she looked at Teanna with a puzzled expression in her face and asked "Senior Teanna, you haven't answered my question. What did you come here to do? I thought you were supposed to be secretly observing us from far away and only show when you feel that we in great danger."

"Nah, I am done with that. Look at where you girls are staying, so beautiful and spacious and even has a large bed and many nice couches. While I am staying in some forest far away from here because I want to secretly watch over you guys. Haha! Well, I am totally done with that now. And please don't try to bring back that topic as I have clearly answered your question. Thanks!" Teanna said with that serious expression still in her face and then went to a particular couch to lie in it. 

Once she did so, she eased herself into the softness and comfortability that it could provide her.

Helena shook her head with a smile in her face.

Then before she could return to the bed and lie in it, a knock was suddenly heard on her door again.

'I guess that's the inn attendant this time.' She said and then went to the door to open it and see if she was right.

And, she was right. It was the room attendant that stood there with a beautiful smile in her face and a wheeled cart before her which had a lot of dishes on top of it.

"Please come in" Helena smilingly said.

The attendant nodded her head and then went in as she pushed the cart into the room.

When she got in, Helena closed the door behind her and then went to meet the attendant who took off the cloth cover spread over the covered dishes placed on the cart.

Once she did that, she began to respectfully hand them their meals one after the other. When she was done and was about to leave, Helena told her to wait.

Now looking at Teanna, Helena asked "Senior Teanna, would you like to eat too? What do you want to order for? Mention it, I will pay for it"

Teanna shook her head.

She then said "Nah. I am good, Helena. So don't worry about me. Go enjoy your meal."

Helena nodded her head.

She then looked at the attendant and said "Thank you for your timely service, ma'am" 

The attendant only smiled and turned around to leave the room with the cart that she came in with.

But before she could leave, Helena said "Wait."contemporary romance

She then produced a few hundred golden coins from her money storage pouch which she tried to hand over to the attendant.

Seeing this, the attendant's eyes shone with great delight and happiness.

However, she surprisingly slightly bowed in the next moment and said with a sincere apologetic voice "I am sorry, ma'am. I can't accept that. It's against the etiquettes and rules of this inn to accept money as tips from customers. I will leave now. Thank you!"

Once she said that, she straightened herself back and prepared to leave their room when Helena told her to wait again.

Then before she could say anything, Helena quickly approached her and put the few hundred golden coins in her hand on the cart with a smile in her face.

She then said "I don't care what you will do with the golden coins. You can either throw them away or keep them for yourself. That depend on you. However, what I want you to know is that any money that comes out from my pouch which I want to gift someone, never goes back in. So, it's up to you"

Immediately after she said that, she turned around to go to the bed and eat her meal.

The attendant who Helena left with no choice quickly took all the hundred golden coins placed on her cart and kept them inside her coin storage pouch.

Then with a delighted smile appearing in her face in the next moment, she said "Thank you very much! May you find fortune wherever you go."

Once she said that, she left their room with her cart and wheeled it away.

A few moments after the attendant left, Teanna's mocking voice rang out, "Wow! The cheerful giver. Haha! Why did you give her your hard-earned money, Helena? Do you really think that you will get something in return for the significant amounts of golden coins that you just generously, or to be more direct, foolishly gave out?" Teanna unexpectedly asked.

"Well, I did that without any intention of getting anything in return. Besides, someone, and to be more open, senior Sandra, gave me a huge fraction of the immense fortune that she possesses which she has been arduously and riskily building over the years. She started that cycle with me and I will make sure not to break it. Furthermore, didn't you see how happy and delighted that she became. She was like on top of the world at that moment. Those golden coins which I gave her might actually go a long way in her life." Helena answered, refuting what Teanna said.

"Hmm. Well, that's your problem, not mine. When your money finishes, don't come running to me. Haha!" Teanna said and then closed her eyes to sleep for the night.

But before she could really do so, Helena who had a smile in her face responded "Well, that's why it won't ever finish. My source won't ever run dry."

"Haha! Alright. I have heard you." Teanna said with her eyes still closed.

When Helena was busy arguing with Teanna, her friends had started eating as they listened with smiles in their faces to their arguments. Then when they were done, they put their plates somewhere and leaned on the wall immediately after their bed to relax for sometime before going to sleep.

Next day...

When the girls woke up from bed and lazily stretched themselves, they prepared to go take their baths to wash themselves clean and prepare for today's hard task, since it was one that involved demolishing five shrines of cannibalistic witches and killing them and every followers that they may have.

When Helena stood from bed and looked at the couch that Teanna slept on the last night, she found that she was no longer there.

'I guess she has left to do her duty and might return again later at night to come dwell in here with us.' She said inwardly.

Once she thought this, she nodded her head in agreement.

Then the girls began to take turns in washing themselves in the shower room.

When they were all done and looking all sparkly in the new, beautiful attires that they wore, they immediately set out of the inn that they were staying to carry out the mission that they had really wasted a lot of time in accomplishing.

When they came out of the inn, they began to ask around for where they would get a carriage that would lift them to one of the valleys that a particular cannibal witch had her shrine built in.

Then following the description to the place where they would get a carriage, they finally arrived there.

After they paid the carriage driver a really mad costs of transporting all five of them down to that valley, simply because it was a valley suspected to have witches residing there in shrines and could have his life terminated if he got slightly careless in venturing into that place, they entered the carriage which then began it furious-speed journey towards that valley that seemed to give the driver excessive fright, since his skin became sickly pale from fear of thinking about those imaginary witches.
