Versatile: Alternate World

Renatta's mansion is grand. The current mansion we use for transport around the Alternate world that Almira modified to have legs with couldn't be compared to this as mine is clearly a big inferior. Her mansion is what you call a noble's mansion. Complete with all of the natural cliches seen in many typical aristocratic mansions. It's more of a design perspective instead and it is typically used to flaunt their riches to others.

Even the others couldn't believe what they were seeing. Who would instantly recover from that when they see things like this?

"Welcome everyone. I will be assigning everyone to their respective rooms and will be receiving their own rooms to sleep in unless you want to stay with someone in a room because that will be possible as well."

"We will decide that later but for now, you should gather every spirit for a bit as I will be discussing important matters regarding my return."

The butler spirit nodded and bowed down before moving away to perform the task given. As for us, we sat down on the sofa and are still marveling at the whole place. Its resemblance to the aristocratic households is just so uncanny that I am not sure whether this is really an aristocratic household copy-paste or this is its own place.

"You guys might be thinking about why I have a very big mansion that seems to be too good to be true right?" Renatta smirked seeing our shocked faces.

"Yeah. You didn't mention your house to be a certified mansion that even humans would find pleasant to live in. And besides, this is much bigger than Manato's mansion on Earth and in this world as well even if you combine both of them!" Alena exclaimed, showing how amazed she was with the situation.

"That is one of the main reasons I am not really that enthusiastic at this place is due to how close tie it was to the aristocratic lineage and style that I hated staying here. I would usually stay in the cabin situated in the lake behind the mansion as that place is more like my home compared to here."

Hmm, no wonder she easily adapted when she lived with me in the Alternate World and she didn't have much problem with my mansion as well despite not being as aristocratic as hers. She prefers a much simpler place rather than a place that she can flaunt to others.

Then, the spirits came. I underestimated the number of spirits gathering as there was a literal whole group of them that looked like a miniature group of fireflies gathered together and were excited at Renatta's arrival.

"Miss Renatta!"

"Miss Renatta, we miss you so much!"

"Boss Renatta! Don't leave us without saying anything again, alright?"

Many voices of the spirits came in as they continued to praise the situation and happily enjoyed the presence of Renatta.

Renatta waved her hand and almost every spirit started celebrating seeing their boss acknowledge their presence.

"Wow, I know there are lots of others like me around the world and in this world but to see them in one place like this, it is a freaky feeling..." Pixie was amazed and shocked seeing the situation.

"Are you not happy seeing so many of them together like this?" I asked.

"Uh...Not really Master. I thought I would be happy but seeing it like this, I am more nervous and not sure about it. It was like things were not even that great after seeing them. I feel like being the odd one out."

I can see why Pixie would think of that. Not only is she the only one summoned from my abilities but she is not someone who got a contract with Renatta in the first place. She is more of a product of a human than an elf, which makes her a bit inferior.

"No, Pixie. Even if you think you don't matter, you are a unique being that cannot be replaced. Don't worry too much about it."

Then, Renatta begins her meeting. It was quite long but it was not that important as most of what she discussed were her experience in the human world how she felt more at home there and how she would no longer stay here in the mansion in the future.

A lot of the spirits felt that this was quite a big news and were saddened but there were more that felt happy about Renatta's decision. After Renatta decided to relinquish the contract of the spirits, everyone was a bit unwilling, but Renatta only promised to relinquish the contract once the spirit forest was restored once more.

Hearing that, the spirits soon became content about relinquishing the contract. It turns out that the reason why there are so many spirits here in the first place is because Renatta decided to help them in the meantime while the spirit forest is still undergoing its repair to recover from the damage that was caused.

Based on what I heard, there might be something that we will do here and Renatta might be using this chance to also ask us to see whether we can determine the reason for the destruction of the Spirit Forest. That will be a good task to take advantage of while we wait for the king and queen of the elves to invite us to the palace and get a chance to meet them and solve another problem.

Once Renatta dispersed the spirits, she let the Butler Spirit escort everyone to their respective rooms while Renatta dragged me somewhere else. One of the spirits that looks like a blacksmith is also following us.

"Is this the lad that you were talking about?" the spirit asked.

"Yes. He holds the weapon that contains the power of the ancient dragon that was present during the Primordial Wars and recently, he received the real truth as well which coincides with all of the experiences you and your family had during the Primordial Wars."

"Oh? Oh?! Do you mean the Black Dragon of Death? So this is where his soul disappeared into the moment the situation became bleak? I couldn't believe that you would be able to dodge away the eyes of that goddess for so long!" the blacksmith spirit laughed learning this matter.

"Which is why we are here to ask if it is better if we just get rid of all the junk relics that are currently gathered in our storage."

"Oho, does that mean I will see the famous "Dvour" that the black dragon does in every battle? If that is the case, I would be more than happy to give them all. Besides, we don't have uses for those relics. Feel free to take them all."

We went to a small storage and the moment the blacksmith spirit opened the door, it revealed a wide variety of relics that were too precious to see and I wasn't prepared at all. I almost staggered seeing so many great weapons in the area.

The Versatile Weapon seems to have noticed it and also decided to show its interest in them.

"Woah, boy. Calm down."

I turned around on Renatta to understand what I was going to do next.

"What do you mean, Manato? All you have to do is let your weapon devour these things and digest them all. If these relics are the real deal, then this will be a very good place to fuel up your weapon."

Before I can even say much, the shadow dragon immediately extends its body and devours a mouthful.

"Oy, Shadow Dragon! Control your hunger and greed for once!"

I checked the status fo the Versatile Weapon and I was shocked. It wasn't even the entirety of the relics that were devoured but the new stats of the Versatile Weapon suddenly changed my viewpoint.
