"Luckily, I asked for a spare card on my way here," I said as I used the card to open the door.
As soon as the door slid open, I saw that the two of them were still in bed.
"Hmm? Why are you guys still in bed?" I asked.
"M-Mika, please bring us food and water," both of them said in unison.
"Why don't you get it yourselves? It's free on the second floor," I replied.
"W-we are unable to move our legs," Eiko said.
"You were so aggressive and assertive last night," Airi added.
"Good grief... I'll be back shortly, Eiko. You can try on the clothes in these bags. I bought them for you," I said.
"Thank you, master," Eiko replied.

"I'm fortunate that they allow us to bring food here," I said as I handed them a variety of dishes from the restaurant.
"It smells delicious," Airi said.
"Just hurry up and eat," I replied.
"The clothes you just bought fit me perfectly, Master. Thank you once again," Eiko said.
"Don't worry about it. Your previous clothes were already worn out," I replied.
WAAAA, SHE'S SO CUTE, I CANT BELIEVE I DID IT WITH HER LAST NIGHT.
After finishing our meal, I asked Eiko a question.
"Say, Eiko, do you know anything about a weapon called Windweaver?"
"Windweaver, huh? It sounds like a bow that my ancestors used back in the day to decide their share of lands," Eiko said.
"Well, I have a fragment of it. Should I just sell it?" I asked.
"Hmm, you have a fragment of it... HAH!? YOU HAVE A FRAGMENT OF IT?" Eiko exclaimed.
"Here," I said as I took the fragment out of my backpack.
"W-wait, M-Master, Airi is watching," Eiko said, blushing.
"Hmm? It's just the fragment," I said, confused.
"Erm... Yes," Eiko replied as she took the case from my hand to inspect it.
As soon as Eiko touched the fragment, it glowed, and a bunch of text appeared in front of her. "Aggh..." Eiko moaned as a mark appeared, burned onto her right wrist.
The burn mark looked like an elf ear and a traditional bow combined.
"Eiko!" Airi shouted as she looked at her.
"Nggh... I'm fine," Eiko said, trying to resist the pain.
"What does the text read?" I asked.
"There's a lot to read, and it's in Ancient Elfian language. Give me some time to understand it," Eiko replied.
The text looked like it was written in Ancient Hebrew, but it looked slightly different.
"Alright, I'm gonna read them now," Eiko said.
"Windweaver is a legendary weapon crafted by ancient elven archmages," she began. "It's said to be imbued with the power of the wind, capable of conjuring a fierce, invisible arrow of pure wind that can penetrate even the strongest of materials with ease. As the bow is drawn back, a soft, ethereal hum emanates from it, accompanied by a swirling gust of wind that envelops the wielder. The wind then gathers and transforms into a thin, imperceptible arrow that can travel at extraordinary speeds and pierce through the thickest of walls and mountains. Despite its formidable power, the arrow is so small that it resembles a mere toothpick. Wielding the bow requires great skill, as the wielder must master the art of controlling the wind and aim the invisible arrow with exceptional precision. However, the bow's power can also be overwhelming, and the wielder may become exhausted."
"Well, it's just the fragment of the bow then," I said.
"Wait, there's additional information at the bottom right," Eiko said.
"The bow can be used with regular arrows. Only those with pure royal elf blood can wield the bow. The wielder must sacrifice an unborn demon's child to fully awaken the bow. A mark will appear on the wielder's body to indicate whether they are worthy. The bow can be summoned at will by its wielder and reduced to the wind. If the bow sustains damage, it will regrow itself instantly."
"I see, so based on that additional information, we need to sacrifice an unborn demon's child to restore the bow," I said.
"Where will you guys find an unborn demon's child?" Airi asked, and we stared at her with a malicious grin.
"W-wait, why are you guys staring at me?" she asked again.
"How do you do the sacrifice?" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe if I just touch her," Eiko said.
"W-wait, I want to raise the child," Airi said.
"We don't have food for the child if you're gonna raise it," I said.
As Eiko's hand made contact with Airi's belly, a sudden burst of vibrant green light illuminated the area, casting a surreal glow that seemed to breathe life into the surrounding darkness.
"Eek! Eh? It's not painful, and I feel my body is lighter now," Airi said.
All of a sudden, the fragment sprouted roots and transformed into a bow that had an asymmetrical shape.
It measured over 232 centimeters in length, which was already 1.5 times taller than Eiko.
"Wahhh!" Eiko and Airi exclaimed in amazement.
"Alright, can you try to dismiss it?" I asked.
"Er, I'll try," Eiko said, as she focused her thoughts on making it vanish.
In an instant, the bow vanished into the wind.
"I did it," Eiko said.
"Alright, now try to summon it," I said.
Eiko closed her eyes and focused on the bow. A root emerged from the mark on her right wrist and snaked up her arm, extending toward her palm. As the root reached her hand, it transformed before her eyes, taking on the form of a sleek and powerful bow.
"I see, interesting. Let's settle for the night since we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow," I said.
As I walked towards the coach, Airi shouted after me, "Mika! Where are you going? You still owe me something," pointing to the middle of the bed.
"Come sleep with us, Master," Eiko offered.
"Good grief, I suppose I'll rest while we're still at the hostel," I said.
As I thought about our situation, I realized that Airi and I still hadn't fulfilled the minimum monthly requirements to maintain our adventurer rank, and Eiko still didn't have an adventurer ID card.
