Greeting

"T-thanks Eric." Ramia says as I turn around.

"Don't mention it, like I just told Lilac and Flare. Don't hesitate to ask me for help." I reply causing her to smile.

"Look! More people." Flare says while pointing behind Ramia. I see a group of people entering through the door on the other side of the room.

"I'm going to go greet them. Ramia, if you three are done with your machine, you should join me. But I won't **** you." I say before leaving. I'm not sure if she'll follow me, but I don't want to wait for her and make her feel pressured. I walk over to the group and see it's the Silver Garden. I can see Kallen and Myla, along with roughly twenty or thirty of their members. Kallen and Myla are talking with Asami, and the others all walk off into different groups. Kallen's wearing a silver suit similar in design to mine. The main difference is the Guild logo. Myla's wearing a silver-colored dress that matches her hair to a T.

"Speak of the Devil, literally. Master, where'd you run off to?" Asami says as I reach them.

"Sorry, Lilac and Flare needed my help with the machine. I'm not sure what it's called." I reply.

"Who's Lilac and Flare? And what machine are you talking about? I don't see any." Kallen asks while looking around.

"He's talking about the machine that's making it rain like this." Asami says while reaching out and letting a red raindrop land on her palm. "Verona and Ramia came up with it when I asked if they could help me figure out how to decorate. I'm not sure what it's actually called though. But we have it hidden behind some curtains over there since it's not very pretty. Flare and Lilac are..." Asami says before stopping with a smile. She motions behind them, where Ramia, Flare, and Lilac are coming.

"Greetings, my name is Lilac, it's nice to meet you." Lilac says with a slight bow.

"I Flare, nice to meet you also." Flare says, doing her best to imitate Lilac's behavior.

"It's I'm, not I Flare." Lilac says correcting her.

"Thank you." Flare replies.

"It's nice to meet you two, my name is Kallen. I'm the Guild Master of the Silver Garden." Kallen says before turning to Myla.

"I'm his daughter Myla, the Heiress to the Silver Garden." Myla says a little awkwardly. Does Myla not like formal settings like this? I think briefly.

"If you don't mind, when did you two join the Steele Wolves? I don't remember seeing your names on the list of new members." Kallen asks causing Ramia to smile a little awkwardly.

"T-they didn't join the Guild. They can't, s-since I made them with my magic. They're both d-dolls I've made." Ramia explains.

"Really? But they can both talk, and they both have a perfect human body! That's amazing Ramia." Myla says in shock.

"Yep, Ramia's amazing!" Flare says happily while Lilac nods in agreement.

"I guess we were last to arrive." I hear Kagiyama say as he walks up to us. I see his guild arriving behind him. Just like the Silver Garden group, they all split up and walk around. Kagiyama, Sugano, Hino, Strom, Lander, and Sally join us. Kagiyama's wearing a dark blue suit with his Guilds logo. Sugano has a long light blue dress. Hino's wearing an open blue suit without its tie. Hers matches her father's, the only difference is that it's smaller to fit her. Strom and Lander both wear the same black suit and tie. Sally has a red ember-colored dress on. Lander surprises me, he's wearing a white robe with a sleeve around his arms, connected behind his back. The robe stops around his knees, and he has a matching loose pair of white pants on under it.

"How did you make it rain like this?" Lander asks while looking around.

"Verona and Ramia made it. They got the idea for it after seeing the blue tree on the roof. It's rich in mana since it's what fuels the portal to the Dryads forest. So it rains small blue droplets like this. I have no idea how it works though. If you want more specifics, you'll have to ask them." Asami says causing Lader to nod.

"Eric, where are your Familiars at? I don't see them around here." Strom asks while looking around.

"They're exploring the Guildhall. They really like running around the place. Sparks is with them." I answer before seeing another group enter the room. I see Abigale, Irene, Marlo, Chase, Nick, Andrew, Mavis, and Jess. all together. Abigal has a flame red dress on, nearly matching Flares. Irene wears a white dress. Marlo wears a green suit, while Chase wears a white suit. Nick has a brown suit the color of stone. Andrew wears a black suit and Mavis wears a black dress. Jess wears a green dress matching he husband's.

"Master, you should go give them those items now. Unless you'd rather wait until we move to the arena. But they're fighting in the tournament, so I would suggest doing it before then." Asami says after nudging me.

"Good idea, thanks. I wasn't sure when to do this." I say before walking over to them. "How are you all doing?" I ask them once I get close.

"So far, good. Thanks for asking. But how'd you do this?" Jess asks while looking around at the rain.

"It was Verona and Ramia who made this. I was just as surprised as you." I reply.

"There are a lot more people here than I thought there'd be." Chase adds causing Marlo to chuckle.

"I thought there'd be more. From the looks of it, this is about three-fourths of the other two Guilds." Marlo says before stepping forward.

"Wait! Before you go, there's something I want to give you guys." I say before they start walking around. I take a box out of my inventory, that holds the gifts I made them. I took one of the boxes that got delivered with the furniture, and cut it in half. You can see the bottom half of a chair on the front of it.
