Rakna picked the necklace up after reading the information. ”This one's a success as well,” he said and Old Wang nodded.
”Good to know we didn't waste that blood.”
The therian agreed silently and motioned Evelyn to turn around.
”Eh?” She took a moment to process what he was asking and as her face grew redder, she did what he said and also moved her hair from over her neck.
Wang watched amused as Rakna carefully put the necklace around the succubus' neck, who was feeling nothing but bashfulness.
”Done,” Rakna said after clipping the chain.
She let go of her hair and looked down at the necklace. She fiddled with it a bit and smiled. ”Thank you,” she said quietly but she knew he could hear her.
”Well, as adorable as this is, I should get back to my stall,” Wang said as he started tidying up his smithy. ”I don't want to disappoint my regulars too much.”
”Got it. Thank you for your help.”
”It's fine. You also helped me finding a path to break through to the Divine level. It's the least I can do. And my offer to give you one of my works when I advance my proficiency still stands. I'll reach it sooner or later.”
”I'll expect it,” Rakna responded. ”We'll get out of your hair now. See you, Master.”
”Goodbye sir,” Evelyn bowed and followed Rakna as he headed to the stairs.
”Have a good day, you two!”

After coming out, Evelyn decided to return to the apartment to practice her alchemy while Rakna opened up his friend list to message someone.

> Hey, foxy, is there a specific time I should be visiting?
⠀
<Kaelith Yahkshasa> You're quite an early bird, eh? You don't lose time.
⠀
> Just tell me already.
⠀
<Kaelith Yahkshasa> I'll go wake up mom right now. She isn't really busy despite being the matriarch. She's quite lazy on top of that so she just sleeps half of the time. The only problem will be for her to completely wake up, so… let's give her about two hours. See you then.
⠀
> …who needs two hours to wake up?
⠀
<Kaelith Yahkshasa> :-P

Rakna snickered and closed the window.
”{You're being quite expressive today,}” Higure finally remarked.
'What? Something wrong with it?'
”{No… I quite like it.}”
'All good then,' Rakna replied candidly and mused on what he should do. Truthfully, he had a good number of things to do. There were many skills he could level up and test out. He could train his body, read a few books, go out and look for Quests, and even develop new spells or abilities.
”{It is honestly mind-boggling how much you have to do at this stage already,}” Fray said. ”{Is this what they call the misfortunes of talent? …no jab intended at your karma.}”
Rakna rolled his eyes. 'You know what? Let's do this effectively. I will go do some quests to test my skills against monsters while you two read and explain to me a few important topics like magic circles and general knowledge.'
”{That is certainly productive.}”
'All right then. Let's see what we can do,' he thought and flew off to the Pavilion.
