The moment after I vanished, I appeared somewhere tight. My head almost hit the ceiling. I looked around and saw a girl napping on a table. It seems like she is currently studying or something. She keeps on poking the bottle while taking a deep breath multiple times.

❝Should I sell you somewhere? You look so expensive. I bet you could turn me into a billionaire.❞ She said in excitement. It seems like she is talking to the bottle. ❝and because you look like real gold. I thought you were the same as those golden bottles in movies. Where a genie appeared when someone holds it while wishing on it. But I guess you are not like that, and there's no way that genies would be real.❞ then she sighed.

I laugh a bit because I found her hilarious. Then she suddenly heard me laughing.

❝Who's that? Who's there? ❞ She asked while looking around.

But I have decided not to show up and play with her first. I suddenly saw her face clearly, it made me feel surprised and I lost my focus, that's why my appearance suddenly became visible in her eyes.

❝Hell no.❞ I said.

❝Waaaaaah! Help!❞ she shouted. But the good thing is, I quickly covered her mouth with my hand.

❝Stop shouting. No one's going to do something bad to you. I came here because you called me here.❞ I said. Then she creased her forehead. ❝Using that golden bottle.❞ I added while pointing my index finger to my former cage.

A few seconds after looking straight into my eyes, she nodded. Then I put my hand away from her. She smiled at me then after that she threw something at me. She even hit me with a stick beside her.

I just vanished and watched her look for me around her small room.

I wish I could die now or maybe later today, rather than being her guardian.

She suddenly walks around while still holding the stick. It seems like she is looking for me. Why is she so violent? She hasn't heard my explanations yet.

❝I'm going to find you.❞ She uttered with a straight face. ❝I don't know what do you really want from me. But I have nothing to give you. I have no money. And I will never ever surrender my virginity to you, pervert!❞ She added.

Damn. It almost made me laugh. She's overreacting. ❝Your body?❞ I said then I laugh a bit. ❝No thanks.❞ I added.

❝Woah. You're making fun of me huh.❞ she said. She suddenly held the bottle then whispered something on it. And then boom! I'm here at her front.

❝Yaaaaaa!❞ she said then she punched me. ❝You pervert. Arrogant. Annoying. White Mushroom!❞ She madly said each bad word while hitting me.

I raised both of my hands up as I say, ❝Ok. Ok. I Apologize. So please stop.❞

Then she suddenly stopped hurting me. God, that was so painful. Few minutes later, we were both sitting on the floor inside her small room.

❝I'm your guardian and you are my master. Every time you summon me, or even ask me to do something while holding this bottle, my power and my body automatically follow it.❞ I said.

Her eyebrow creases. ❝Every time?❞ She asked.

I nodded as I say, ❝Yes. Every time. Anytime. And anywhere you are.❞ She just nodded but still confused.

❝Here is your notebook.❞ I said while handing it to her. ❝It may look like a plain notebook like you have seen at school or somewhere. But it's actually not. This notebook contains magical powers, just like what I have. ❞ I added.

❝God, I'm so confused. So what should I do about this notebook?❞ She asked.

I cleared my throat as I said, ❝You just have to write everything that you fulfilled with my help inside that notebook. If you want me to grant any of your wishes, you are free to ask it anytime. And right after that, you have to write it down in this notebook.❞

❝Until when?❞ She asked.

❝Until it runs out of pages. Until it won't let you continue writing on it anymore.❞ I seriously answered. ❝It will automatically close itself someday. The moment when everything is done for good. ❞ I added.

She was just staring at me the whole time. It looks like she does understand it all but couldn't believe that it is all true. Or should I say, she's badly confused about everything I just told her. Well, I am expecting this to happen because it's the first time we met formally.

❝Maybe you should go first. Just let me think about what you've told me first. I'll call you once I'm done thinking.❞ She said.

I nodded as I say, ❝Ok then.❞ After that I vanished.

I went back to my underground place. I'm still thinking about her while lying on my bed.

She is definitely too strong to need me.

I don't think she needs my help that much.

Her safety isn't a big issue for her.

Why in the world I will be destined to serve a sadist person. I hate someone who keeps on hurting and spreading violence without any good reasons. Well, she can be the perfect person I could hate for like every moment of my life.

But, on the other hand, she is really funny.

Her other side, being brave, is what makes her funny, somehow. But every time she's showing off her violent side I automatically hate her. I don't know why, but I think I was made to hate everyone who loves to hurt and give pain to some people who never did anything bad to them.

Above all, I think it's fine. 'Cause I have already seen my master now. So it only means that my mission is getting closer to its fulfillment.

❝Much better than before, I guess.❞ I murmured.

I fell asleep, pondering over what had just happened a while ago.

I woke up, finding her face very close to mine. She might have been staring at me while I was asleep.

And woah. I looked around, realized I'm already at her place. Why did she even summon me here?

❝So, it's really true.❞ She said, her chin on her hands while staring at me. She looks ill or something. She took a deep breath, then pouted her lips. She poked my right cheek. ❝I can touch you. So you are real. I tried to summon you a while ago, and you appeared at my bed, sleeping. It's driving me insane.❞ She said.

I stood up and said, ❝So should we do something now?❞

Her eyes widened as she thought of something different. ❝I maybe don't have the ability to read your mind. But I know what you were thinking, and that's not what I meant.❞ I said. ❝I just want to fulfill your wishes right now, so my mission could finally get completed.❞ I added.

She nodded as she said, ❝C'mon, let's take a walk outside.❞ She stared at her watch. ❝Four hours until 8 am. We only have 3 hours to talk. I need to go to school after.❞ She held my right hand, and then we went outside.

A few minutes later, we are already somewhere. It seems like a park or something. It has a lake and a bridge above it.

She suddenly jumped in front of me, ❝Mister. I haven't introduced myself yet.❞ She lent her right hand to me, ❝I'm Geum.❞ Then she smiled at me like a crazy little kiddo.

I was about to shake hands with her but decided not to. I put both of my hands inside my pocket, then started to walk.

❝There's no need for that.❞ I said. ❝By the way, My name is Zeus, not mister.❞ I added.

❝Tch.❞ She reacted. ❝Why would a guardian be that rude to his master?❞ She said.

I suddenly stopped; that's why she bumped into my back.

❝WHY DID YOU STOP?❞ She asked with a loud voice while gently touching her forehead.

❝See that?❞ I said while pointing at the lake. ❝You wanna get drowned?❞ I asked.

❝Ah, I see.❞ she said.

I went to the nearest bench, then I sat on it. She did the same.

❝As I was thinking about it... I have decided to believe you. And also help you. Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to help those poor people out there, but I don't have anything that I can offer to them. And I think now is my chance to help; I wanna grab this opportunity.❞ She said.

She was smiling that time while looking straight at a different place. I looked at her.

❝Turn around.❞ I said.

❝What?❞ She asked.

❝I said turned around.❞ I responded.

❝Why?❞ she asked me again.

❝Just do it.❞ I seriously said.

❝Psh.❞ She reacted. ❝What kind of guardian would command his master?❞ She said, then she turned her back at me.

I put the crystal necklace on her neck.

❝What is this?❞ she asked me.

❝That's a crystal necklace.❞ I said. ❝Take care of that thing.❞ I added.
