Mr.Nobody: I am inside a webcomic?!
Chapter 24: A New Companion
The instant Mr.Guide vanished, the atmosphere became oddly vacuous to Nobody.
He stood there for a second, looking at the place where the figure had vanished.
"...That dude really does come and go when he feels like it," Nobody said aloud.
But before he could ponder any more....
There was a glow from his field of vision.
The system window pops out.
[System Notification]

Nobody blinked.
"...What? A new summon?" He grinned immediately. "Now, this is something."
He rubbed his hands a little bit. "System, buy the new summoning slot."

Nobody leaned in to read it all.
"...Luck increase?"
He stopped for a second.
And then slowly grinned. "Yeah... That seems pretty useful."
He cracked his neck. "I wonder what you look like."
He raised his hand a little bit.
Then he opened a new interface.
In that interface, there was a written title named ’Summons’ at the top.
[1] Bunny Bot [2] Bunny Bot [3] Bunny Bot
{ 3 had pictures of spherical metallic silver coloured bots with red eyes, bunny ears and legs }
[4] Blossom Bunny (special edition summon of Shining Blossom world)
{ It had a picture of a white coloured, cute, chubby bunny with pink pupils smiling and around it was petals of plum blossom tree }
It had a summon option below the name.
Mr.Nobody clicked on it and said, "Summon: Blossom Bunny."
Light began emanating from in front of him.
It was soft and gentle like flower petals floating in spring air.
The light coalesced into a small form....
Then,
Pop!
And a little creature came into being. A little bunny, fluffy and white.
Its fur was soft; even glowing softly under the sunlight and had big pink eyes that were full of life and innocent energy.
It blinked twice.
Then looked up at Nobody. "...Attata... attata..."
And Nobody froze.
Then, "...Aw." He bent down immediately. "Yo! What the heck? Why are you so cute?!"
The bunny turned its head and made its little ears wobble.
"...Attata?"
Nobody dramatically covered his face with a hand. "System, what in the world did you just send me?! A deadly weapon or a heart attack? This guy is so fu**** cute."
Thup.. Thup..
The bunny bounced a little.
Then lightly kicked his shoe with its foot.
"...Attata!"
Everybody stared at it.
"...Hey, you kicked me!" Nobody blinked.
Then smiled. "Alright, I like you."
He slowly extended a hand, making sure he wouldn’t scare it. The bunny didn’t retreat.
Instead, it hopped nearer to him.
"...Attata."
Nobody gave a small laugh. "Well then... Blossom Bunny, guess you’re in the team from now on, buddy.
Let’s see what you can actually do."
The bunny blinked and gave a sound," Atta ta." It looked with a confident cute eye.
"Pfft...lol you look quite confident." Nobody chuckled.
The scene shifts to the office of Aiden.
The office of Aiden was situated high up in the city with an enormous name tag ’Nathen’, encased within glass and tranquillity.
The afternoon sun was casting rays on the shiny polished floor and cast a shadow behind Aiden.
He was standing by the window, one hand in his pocket, while the other held a tablet.
Knock Knock.
A soft door knock was made.
"Come in."
His assistant stepped inside, precise as always. "Sir, I have an update regarding next week’s schedule."
Aiden didn’t turn. "Go ahead."
"The company’s anniversary banquet has been finalised. Venue, guest list, media coverage. Everything is confirmed."
That made him pause.
"...Already?" he asked, finally turning around.
"Yes, sir. It will be held at the Grand Hall on Saturday evening. Major partners and several rival companies have also been invited."
Aiden’s expression sharpened slightly. "Rival companies, huh..."
"Yes. It’s being positioned as a high-profile networking event."
He gave a small nod. "Figures. Keep everything tight. No mistakes."
"Understood, sir."
She placed a file on his desk and left quietly.
Aiden walked back to his desk, flipping open the file. Names. Companies. Faces. All familiar.
This wasn’t just a celebration. It was a stage.
A place where reputation, influence and power would quietly clash behind polished smiles.
After a few minutes, he picked up his phone. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
There was a brief pause before he dialled.
Ton....ton....
The line rang once... twice...
Then....
"Hello?" Toma’s voice was heard from the phone.
Aiden’s tone softened slightly without him noticing. "Hey. Are you free right now?"
"Yeah, I just got back home. What’s up?" Toma said.
"I wanted to tell you something," Aiden asked. "Next week is my company’s anniversary banquet. It’s a pretty big event."
"Oh... really?" she sounded a bit surprised. "That sounds important."
"It is," he replied. "Which is why I want you to come."
There was silence on the other end.
"...Me?"
"Yeah. You."
"I don’t know, Aiden... I’ve never been to something like that before."
"It’s just a formal event," he said calmly. "Nothing you need to worry about. I’ll be there."
"I don’t even have anything to wear for that kind of place," she added, a little hesitant.
Aiden let out a small breath. "That’s not an issue. I’ll arrange everything."
"You don’t have to go that far, Aidi."
"I want to share this event with my childhood besty," he interrupted gently. "Just come as my guest."
Then, Toma sighed and said,"...Okay."
Aiden’s expression eased just slightly. "Good."
"But...are you sure it’s fine? Like... I won’t cause any trouble, right?" she added.
He gave a faint smile. "You won’t. Trust me."
"...Alright then."
"I’ll send you the details," he said. "Time, location, everything in your dm."
"Okay. Thanks, Aiden."
The call ended.
Scene shifts to Nobody at Park.
"Ok, little dude. I have office work, so let’s go."
The bunny jumped on the shoulder of Nobody and let out a sound. "Atta ta ta"
Thus, Mr.Nobody found a new companion.
