Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 113: Synthetic Summon Inference and Devil Countermeasures Meeting

The next day at school, all I could think about was the synthetic summon. Maybe I'm getting to the point where I can't help it anymore. But I don't know anything about rock monsters.

The only ones I could find were golems and dragons. I'd like to think that there are no dragons...so maybe it's golems that are being appropriated? But the other evolution is the Mud Golem. What do you get when you mix mud and rocks? Cement or concrete? No, I don't think so. Maybe.

"You seem to be very troubled. Seigo"

"Hey. What do you think of a rock monster?"

"Ha? Isn't it a golem?

"It was stupid of me to ask Kaiko"

"I'm not a worm!? My name is Kaito! I'll never let you say that again!"

He knew a lot about silkworms, didn't he?

But in the end, I don't know...I was suspicious, but there was a moai...what will happen to the evolution destination? Will it become a statue of Vajrapani or the Great Buddha of Nara? If it's a Vajrapani statue, I'm tempted to get one...but for now, I decided to let Kurogane grow normally.

After doing some other research, I narrowed down the candidates.

First, the Griffon I've been talking about. This is likely to be Lwe or its evolutionary destination, which I confirmed with Hiyori's next evolutionary destination and Lion's evolutionary destination.

The next possibility was Wyrm. It's a dragon with no arms or legs. Its appearance is that of a giant snake with wings. In other words, it could be the evolutionary ancestor of the snake and the chick.

If you think it's a snake, then unfortunately it's not a black mamba because it's not a giant snake. The most likely is a king cobra. The King Cobra is the most likely candidate because it is the only snake that has evolved to fly and uses venom.

Then there's the Wood Golem, which I met once. It's a wood golem, so it's most likely a synthetic summoned beast. But I don't think it's an evolution of Kurogane. I think mud is closer to wood than rock. The problem is that I don't know who I'm dealing with.

Trent is a tame monster, so it can't be a synthetic summoning partner. It could be a plant-based summoned beast of some kind, or it could be water and earth, like a tree.

At any rate, my target was set. After school, I went to the supermarket to do some shopping and logged into the game.

There was no email from Ruin-san. I wonder if she'll text me at night?

When I go downstairs, Lily and the others, Hephaestus, Regin, Aura-san, Nephi-san, Liese and Princess Henri are there. There's a cup nearby, but...it looks like they drank some poison and committed a family suicide.

"Hey. What's going on?"

Then Lily and the others explain it to me.

"We were all..."

"We were making juice..."

"We tried to make..."

"It didn't taste good"

Ah, you failed with the juice, didn't you? It should be fine as long as you get the amount right, but you got the amount wrong, didn't you? When I checked, there was a lot of honey missing.

You used too much! You were always watching me make it!

Anyway, I made some juice and everyone was back safe and sound. Apparently, it was Aura-san who made Lily and the others do the cooking.

"Sorry...Takuto"

Lily and the others apologize to me. I can't be mad at them, can I?

"It's okay. But if you want to cook, you have to talk to me first. I'll teach you how to make it"

Lily and the others were overjoyed to hear that.

"Yeah, yeah. You're a good summoner. Takuto-kun"

"You should be ashamed of yourself!"

"...Yes"

Even though it was Aura-san's fault, Lily and the others caused trouble. I'll treat you to some meals.

"Thank you very much"

"I've heard about it, but it was really delicious"

It seems that Liese-sama and Princess Henri liked it. I'm glad...I wasn't sure if I could handle the royals.

Now, the main topic is about the demon from yesterday. Liese asks me.

"You fought a demon yesterday, didn't you?"

"Yes. His name was Nebiros and he summoned zombies"

"Nu...Zo, Zombie...?"

I'm not usually a fan of zombies...and they were so real. The speaker changes to Olivier-san.

"Can you tell me again what the demon said?"

"Yes. That the curse of the dead has not yet been lifted"

"It's ominous to hear it again"

"Do you know anything about it?"

They all thought about it, but apparently they didn't know. Princess Henri spoke.

"I've talked to my father and he has no idea what it means. But when you combine that with the fact that it was performing some kind of ritual, it is clear that this is not a problem that can be left unattended in our country"

"However, considering the fact that the church was used as a stronghold, it is very difficult to investigate"

If the church doesn't work, I guess it will. Then Regin-san tells me something important.

"There were originally many sisters in the church besides me. But some of them were sacrificed and others were taken in by other priests"

Does this mean that there are other Valkyries in other churches? Then Princess Henri looked apologetic.

"I don't know how much I can help you with that...but I will investigate our church immediately"

"It's impossible to reach other countries...but if there is an adventurer who has the ability to defeat the devil and has a means of transportation called a horse, that's not an problem"

Olivier-san, you betrayed me! If you say so, I'll have to find a church! And there I'll be fighting a famous demon...give me a break. Just as I was thinking that, I was met with an onslaught.

"Oh! Surely an adventurer would have no problem with that!"

"There are also cute dragonewts, elf and Cerian beast"

"I think it's okay in terms of ability"

"I look forward to working with you. Takuto-san"

I'm pretty sure they all thought of this scenario together! There's no way to escape...

"All right, I'll investigate when I find one"

"Thank you very much! Takuto-sama"

Men are creatures that are vulnerable to women's smiles. I'm sure I'm a simpleton when I see Regin's smile and I'm motivated.

I had forgotten to ask later.

"Nebiros brought out a book during the battle, do you know anything about it?"

Everyone was surprised to hear that, except for Regin-san.

"It was a grimoire he used"

It was a grimoire, after all...

"I felt it was dangerous, so I managed to defeat him before it could be used. But in the end, I was wondering what it was like. Can you tell me about it?"

I asked and Princess Henri told me.

"It's okay. A grimoire is a book that describes magic. As for combat, I'll show you in person"

Princess Henri takes out a white book. When she let go of the book, it floated away. Oh!

"'The advantage of a grimoire, as you can see, is that both hands are free to use. And...heal"

When Princess Henri chanted heal, the grimoire flipped over and heal was activated.

"When you chant magic like this, the grimoire will automatically chant for you"

In other words, the surgeon doesn't have to chant!? That's super convenient!

"I can also use my staff, so I can use magic continuously"

Seriously!? Ha!? If it was used by Nebiros, does that mean we were exposed to the zombies and Nebiross magic? Scary. It was a good thing we stopped him in time.

"In case you haven't noticed, it's very difficult to make a grimoire"

Eh? Is it difficult? There are many books in the library.

"They're made of paper provided by the country"

"The guild pays for the cost of the paper for the contracts, but paper is a very expensive item"

Wh, What the hell!?

"Emm, how much is it, by the way?"

"A single sheet of paper is enough for all of our knights' weapons?"

You've got to be kidding! It's impossible to get that price for just one copy! Well, I'm convinced that the grimoire is expensive because it's incomparable to a staff, but the price is far away with a single piece of paper.
