Vol. 5.5 - Special- The Golden Crane’s Log

  “Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax.” – Mark Black

  That’s my way of thinking…hello everyone, my name is Shion Saito…I am a member of Kasumi’s team and a lower trunk member in Yggdrasil…

  Now I know that many of you think that I am just another background character of this story…but let me tell you something…you’re wrong!

  Well, I am a background character but that’s because I choose that way of life…I really hate to stand out…

  I grew up as the main heir to the Saito family shrine…yes…I am a shrine maiden…I grew up in a really strict environment where I had to be perfect…it was so suffocating…

  My household is located south of Tokyo, in a small town east of Shizuoka…my family owns a large amount of land there, basically, the town is called SAITO…in honor of my ancestors…and I am the next in line to be the leader of my clan…but that’s just so much work for me…

  I prefer to stay in my room and play videogames all day…yes…I am an otaku and a gamer…don’t judge me…I know some of you are the same…

  Anyway…when I was asked to come here and support Kasumi-senpai…well I had to think about it…for a fraction of a second…of course I said yes…I really love…I mean respect Kasumi-senpai…she’s just perfect…

  She’s always seen me as the person who I really am…the relaxed Shion and not the puppet that my family wants me to be…

  I feel so comfortable to be with her…oh yes…my senpai is the best in the world…

  Oops…sorry…I was getting out of track…anyway…I mastered my secret family arts about 4 years ago…when I was 14 years-old…in the Academy of Yggdrasil…I finished the courses at age 15…everyone calls me a genius…but here is a little secret…

  I just want to get things done so I can relax at my apartment…yes…I only work hard to relax…nothing more and nothing less…

  March 25th

  (BEEP BEEP BEEP)

  The alarm told me that it was already 6 a.m.

  I looked out the window and saw the sun coming out…I sighed with disappointment because I already knew…

  Once again…I didn’t sleep…why?

  Because I was in a campaign in the famous video game “Medieval Age”. I have a complete game set and I play using my gamer computer…I don’t like to brag but I am the best at what I do…

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  (WINK WINK)

  I really love that game because I am a warrior class mage…ironic right…but remember that in real life…I am a priestess, not a mage…

  So I didn’t sleep…and I had to go to work…I work as the secretary of the principal’s office…yes…Olivia Lucifugus is my boss…

  How did this happen? Well…Olivia knew who we were…and we knew who Olivia was…so…Olivia decided to hire me as the secretary because she knew my capabilities…

  If we’re in school…our war is in a stalemate…Olivia and Darius don’t like to act on a plain site…in fact, it’s weird when she addresses me about something other than work…

  I felt so tired and wanted to sleep…so…what’s the solution?

  Simple…I used my familiar…my familiar is a small golden crane named “Goruden” (Golden)

  I used a talisman with her name and summoned her. Goruden is very loyal to me…although her real form is a crane…she transforms into a young girl with horns similar to an “oni” with a black kimono…

  “Master…you spent the night playing video games again?” She puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms…I nodded in agreement and bowed my head in sign of apology…

  Goruden sighed and shook her head; “Master…you never learn do you?”

  “I’m sorry Goruden…but you know what to do…”

  “Understood master…”

  (POOF)

  Goruden transformed into me…and headed into school…

  Yes, sometimes Goruden goes to school and takes my place when I’m too tired to work…well to be honest…she takes my place 3 to 4 days of the week…

  Well I know it’s pretty convenient…and if you had a familiar that could transform into you…you would do the same right?

  Without her…I would be lost…she cleans, prepares food…and does my work…she is very useful…

  As she went to school, I slept…but I knew everything that happened that day and all the responsibilities I did… and that’s because…we hold a special connection…

  This is a technique that we share with our familiars…as I sleep, I can see and feel what Goruden is doing…it’s like I’m there…

  During the day…Goruden received work from Olivia…She is a very hard worker just like me…

  What others take around 8 hours to finish…Goruden finishes it within 2 hours…that gives her time to investigate Olivia, and see other people work…

  But the best thing is that she can watch over Kasumi-Senpai…She is special…she knows that Goruden is there…but she doesn’t care…I really love…I mean…respect Kasumi-Senpai…

  I really wish that she could see me with different eyes…aside from being just her friend…but oh well…

  I’m fine with just being by her side…

  Now when it comes to hunting…aside from Goruden…I have the ability to summon clones…and Shikigamis…

  Basically, I don’t leave my room when I hunt Sombras…you may call me lazy…but I do use large amounts of mana when I use them…and also use the opportunity to work out as well…

  That aside…now you know more about me…

  I hope you understand my situation…but don’t worry…one day, I will have a more important role…don’t worry my fans…that will come someday…

  THE END…
