The warm scent of freshly baked bread filled the cozy kitchen of **Fou's Delight**, Ritsuka Fujimaru's bakery. The clatter of bowls and the hum of an oven created a peaceful atmosphere as Ritsuka stood with his young daughter Karen, her small hand gripping his apron. Beside him stood Karna, ever the composed Lancer, and Phoenix, watching the scene with her usual air of superiority through bird form.

"Papa, it's time to do the summoning! I want to meet your friends." Karen said excitedly, looking up at him with wide, sparkling eyes.

Ritsuka smiled gently, patting her head. "Alright, Karen. Let's summon them."

He raised his hand, focusing on the familiar pull of magic within him. The command spells on his hand shimmered, and a soft glow began to spread across the kitchen floor. **Phoenix** narrowed her eyes, watching the magic circle form.

"I don't understand how this works. I can summon alternative versions but this summoning ritual is not make sense "  she commented, though her tone was more intrigued than dismissive.

Karna, standing calmly, gave a slight nod. "Summoning is part of my master skills."

'this don't explain anything idiot' Phonix thought and karna Heard it too.

The air in the kitchen hummed with energy as the summoning ritual took shape, and with a sudden flash, the light intensified. From the circle, three figures emerged, each stepping forward into the kitchen.

The first to appear was **Tamamo Cat**, her fluffy ears perked up and her tail swishing excitedly. She bounded forward, her voice bubbling with joy as she spotted Ritsuka.

"Meow~! Tamamo Cat is back, Master!" shouted Tamamo Cat, her eyes sparkling with joy. Her animal ears perked up, and her tail swayed happily behind her as she bounded over to Ritsuka. Without hesitation, she leaped into his arms, her cheeks flushed with excitement."Nyaa, I missed you!"

Ritsuka caught her, laughing softly. "Welcome home, Tamamo Cat. It's good to have you back."

She purred, rubbing her cheek against his apron before quickly stepping back, her face flushed with excitement. "I've been waiting, nya! Master's been taking care of things without me? Don't worry now I'm here. I'm so happy you summoned me again, nya~!"

Before she could talk more about her love for baking, the second figure emerged—a familiar presence in a festive outfit. Martha appeared, clad in her Santa costume, her head held high as she gave a confident grin.

"Ho ho ho! Saint Martha, here to spread Christmas cheer all year round!" She gestured to **Tarasque**, who was beside her, wearing a tiny Santa hat. Her gaze fell on Karna, and her grin softened into a more relaxed smile. ""Well, if it isn't my fellow Santa. How have you been, Karna? Still spreading holiday cheer?"

Karna gave a slow nod, his expression as calm as ever. "Indeed, though my role as a 'Santa' was not quite what I expected. I have… a new partner now." He gestured toward Phoenix.

Phoenix, who had been quietly observing, flicked her gaze toward Martha, her feathers glowing faintly in the light. "Partner?" she scoffed. "Idiot, Let's be clear—I'm not his partner. He is my host. It's not what you think okay!!"

Martha raised an eyebrow but kept her smile. "I see. Well, Karna, it seems you've found an interesting arrangement."

Phoenix huffed,  "Don't mistake my presence for compliance. I am no servant to be commanded." Her tsundere frustration was evident, and Karna glanced at her, a rare flicker of amusement in his eyes
