Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 66: Gathering and information exchange

After dinner and a bath, I logged in. It's a little early in the day, but I think I'll head to the meeting place.

When I arrived at the meeting place, I saw a lot of players with monsters. I didn't know there were so many.

As I was admiring them, I spotted Rook. He and his goblins stands out.

"Ah, Takuto-san!"

"It's been two days since I've seen you...have you added more goblins?"

"Don't tell me...I'm already being called Goblin Summoner on the bulletin board..."

Ah, I knew you were right. I was convinced, but then a man I didn't know approached me.

"You're much more famous than me, though. Young Girl Summoner"

"So that's what they call you..."

"Of course. There are three of them, after all. But it's surprising. I thought I wouldn't summon them"

"Hmm? If you don't want me to summon them, I can replace them"

Don't change! Seriously, please!

Uo!? I was surprised. I was suddenly asked by a lot of players.

"Ah...my bad. Please don't replace me. Otherwise, I'm going to get PKed"

"The reason I brought Lily and the others here is because Rook told me that there are a lot of players who are worried about Lily and the others. I'll tell you about it, because I'm sure the people here know what's going on through videos and such, but I decided that Lily and others needed to interact with players, so I brought them here"

Rook is being praised by everyone after hearing my story.

"Indeed. I didn't introduce myself yet. I'm Gekifu Reppu. I'm Reppuu and I'm playing with my buddy Raiden, who's a tamer and will be joining us later. Nice to meet you"

Reppuu and Raiden...those are the names of Japanese fighter planes. You seem like someone who likes that kind of thing from the past.

"I'm Takuto, a summoner. It's nice to meet you too"

Lily and the others were taken away by Tyrol and the female players, so I was talking with Rook and Geppuu when Raiden joined us.

"I'm Raiden. I'm a tamer. Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Takuto, a summoner"

"Why don't you call yourself Young Girl Summoner?"

I'll summon Chess and Gale.

"Polar bear, blue lion!?"

"Chess, Gale. It seems that Reppuu-san wants to play with you, so please play"

Chess catches Reppuu-san.

"Wa, Wait...you can tell by talking..."

Raiden said to Reppuu, who was caught by a polar bear.

"You deserve it, don't you? That's what happens when you say things people don't want to hear"

"You've got to help me!"

"How can I help you? Polar bear and lion, right?"

That's right. In reality, you can't help. This situation. And his summoned beasts, a wolf and a tiger, easily abandoned their master and mingled with Raiden's tame monsters, Wolves, and rubbed up against him.

"Emm. Let's move now. It's annoying to stay here forever"

"Hey. Where are you going?"

"I've asked Ruin and the others to secure a field near the south gate. They're also cooking for us. They're charging for it, though"

You're right. They turn everything into a business, don't they.

Then we moved in a group. On the way, a group of elementary school players wanted to ride on chess, so I checked with Chess and he nodded, so I gave permission. As a result, the children gathered at chess and it was very difficult. Well, maybe it's a kid's dream to ride on the back of a bear, let alone a polar bear. I think it's completely due to the influence of Kintaro.

By the way, I don't do it. It would be a very dumb picture.

We arrived at our destination and the social gathering began in earnest. The name of this event was a social gathering for summoners, but many other players gathered. From Ruin-san's point of view, they would be more than welcome to buy some food.

Lily and the others were still surrounded by female players. While I was talking to Rook and the others, a player with a bunch of chicks came over.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Al. I'd like to ask you a few questions"

"About the chicks, right?"

"That's right...I heard from Rook-kun that Takuto-san is raising a chick"

"Yes. I evolved it. The evolution destinations were Hawk, Falcon and Crow. I chose Hawk, but the other two also looked strong"

"I, I see...that's a relief"

Well, all those chicks make me worry. I was also asked about bears, lions and owls, which were still unknown to them. As I was politely answering, one of the male players asked me,

"What are the three sizes of Lily-sama and the others?"

I don't know. Well, I'll give him credit for having the courage to ask that in this atmosphere. Female players and their summoned beasts gathered around him, forcing him to leave. He didn't come back.

Perhaps to change the atmosphere he created, Rook asks me.

"E, Emm. Aren't you going to challenge the boss, Takuto-san?"

"Oh! I'm curious about that, too. You were originally planning to challenge it with the capture group, right?"

"Yes. But we decided not to challenge it. I mean, it seems like that boss is a bad boss to challenge"

Haa!?

On behalf of everyone, Ruin-san asks.

"Wait a minute! What are you talking about!? That!"

"It seems that the boss is the guardian god of the Young Tree Forest and the country has forbidden the subjugation of it. I actually went to the Adventurer's Guild and asked the staff, so I'm pretty sure it's true"

"What the heck...then how do we get to another town?"

Crow-san asks a natural question.

"It seems that you will pay the guild and move by carriage"

...

All the players exclaimed. Well, that's what happens. That's how it happened to me, too.

"Takuto-kun, when did you know about this?"

"Emm...after the incident, I think. The owner of the restaurant where I was staying told me that if I had that much money, I could move to another country"

"So it sounds like the trigger is to make a certain amount of money...that's a mean setup..."

"I agree with you. It's hard to pull this trigger when you're in a capture group"

Certainly, if you just challenge the boss, you won't save money.

"Takuto-kun, are you planning to go to the next country even if you don't have to?"

"Yes. We're heading to Freetia, the land of freedom tomorrow"

"Hou. Do you know the country name?"

Crow-san asked me, so I told them about all the countries and their characteristics.

"Indeed. Then Takuto-kun would have chosen Freetia"

"In fact, summoners and tamers are aiming for that country. You can dare to choose another country"

"Crow-san, are you going to Vainreef, the land of mines?"

"Of course"

Ah...Crow-san, good luck.

"Takuto-kun, do you know anything?"

"Well, you know. There was a quest to save a certain NPC in the Young Tree Forest yesterday"

"That's a common quest. Can you tell me the name of the NPC?"

"Hephaestus"

Ruin-san froze. Well, that's right.

"Who? That person"

Crow-san, don't you know?

"Crow...you...you should quit blacksmithing"

Ah, I agree with Ruin-san. Then I told him about Hephaestus.

"You fought that werewolf again, didn't you?"

"I can only picture the werewolf being beaten to a pulp!"

Mew-san says so, but...well, it was a terrible battle. After that, my information disclosure continued.

----------------------------------------

Author note:

The other summoners are still in the early stages, so they don't have much of a personality. I'm planning to make them more unique. Takuto, Rook and Al already have their own personalities, though.

Next time, we'll continue with the social gathering. We will decide who is the strongest of Takuto's summoned beasts in the first chapter. Please try to predict it.
