Walking downstairs, back to the tavern's ground floor, Michelle hummed a lazy tune in satisfaction. Back in the room, she had made a deal with Serith. They agreed that they would train together so Serith could control a part of Michelle's soul energy, so in future fights, Michelle could use double the attacks at a time.
In exchange for that, Michelle promised to never harm Serith's soul until the monster with the rest of the soul came. Also, Michelle promised to think of a way to mend the two parts of Serith together.
Seeing that Michelle seemed fine compared to what she had seen when Michelle suddenly jumped out the window and when the man in black carried her back in, the old tavern lady smiled a bit. "What did you achieve that made you so happy?" she asked.
When Michelle heard the old tavern lady's voice, her face brightened into a sweet smile. "I sealed an important deal!" she said, skipping over to the counter and sitting down on a tall chair.
