Proper introductions

"--moner..."

"Hey, summoner..."

You groaned. Is it really deja vu if the it happens again within minutes?

Your eyes opened to be met by a pair so brown they were almost red.

"Well, you're not as squishy as you look, Summoner!"

You sat up gingerly, noting you were in the same room as before. This time, however, you were sprawled out on a futon that someone had laid out in the previously empty space. A slight chill also told you that you were naked save for a pair of compression shorts that were surprisingly comfortable despite their appearance.

The winged woman stood over you, looking noticeably relieved.

"Looks like my healing spells did the trick. Good job taking care of those stinky Pretas, Summoner!"

"Its Eikichi" you correct her, readjusting to as comfortable a seated position as you could on a futon." Summoner Eikichi "

"Ah right, where are my manners," the redhead responded, blushing slightly. "I'm Pixie of the Fairy clan. Pleased to meet you, Eikichi -san!"

You nodded before inspecting the rapidly fading scars on your chest, which somehow looked a bit muscular than usual. Your right hand still tingled with residual energy from the crushed magatama, the back of which bore the "闇" kanji, branded into the skin like a tattoo. _Yami, darkness. _You're not quite sure how you recognized it.

"Sooooo...." you exhaled sharply.

"What the hell was that all about?"
