Chapter 131: Sea Snake and first synthesis summon<hr>


    I chose the Highway as the ce to hunt. The members were Koihi, Konoha, Liqueur, Seguro and Monshiro.


    Since we were going out of our way, we went for the Chubby Rabbit for the meat. We can''t bring it to the event, but we can have as much meat as we want.


    I''m heading to the highway, but I''m riding with Koihi on a white horse. So far, so good. But I''m wearing a snake around my neck and a caterpir on my head. Konoha is riding on top of Koihi''s head.


    With Monshiro on my shoulder, it would get in the way of Seguro and I couldn''t leave Monshiro with Koihi. As a result, this style was perfected.


    Naturally, the people around meughed at me as I arrived at the highway.


    Now, I''m going to relieve the stress I had earlier.


    As I was thinking this, my opponent wasposed of Chubby Rabbits and Gray Wolves.


    I used Liqueur to gain distance, while Koihi attacked with me magic and fox fire. Konoha also supported me with ice magic from above.


    If it''s just the Chubby Rabbits, we should be able to handle them, but there''s a lot of Gray Wolves to deal with. The Gray Wolves are smart, as Gray has proven.


    They anticipate the direction in which Liqueur is going and attack him from the side. It''s a good decision because they don''t stand in front. If they''re in front, they''ll fall prey to Liqueur''s horn strikes. If they''re aiming for the side, they''ll probably end up on the side.


    When this happens, I should go to intercept. Koihis ss sword is not suitable for interception. It''s better to use a staff with a longer reach.


    Then, Monshiro spits out a string. The Gray Wolves shake their heads in annoyance, but the thread sticks to their bodies and won''t leave.


    If it continues, the Gray Wolves will be cocoons and their movements will be restricted. I didn''t know there was such a use for thread...I''m learning. If they can''t move, the wolves are finished. Koihis and Konoha''s magic attack will annihte them.


    But the Chubby Rabbit isn''t silent. It takes aim at Konoha, who was keeping his altitude low and rolls over.


    When Konoha sees it and runs away, the Chubby Rabbit reels up the threads on the ground and instantly turns into a cocoon ball, stopping its movement.


    Konoha totally invited it. A little pleasant blunder.


    The Chubby Rabbit was also sessfully defeated. I dismantled it and got some meat. And since there were so many of them, we reached evolution in one go.


    Thank goodness...if I had to fight one more time, I would have gone over time.


    The first one was Monshiro. The only evolutionary destination is Butterfly. I''ve already seen it once, but let''s look at the description.


    <b>Butterfly</b>


    <b>Butterflies fly in the sky, spreading their scaly phosphorus. The scales have a fascinating effect.</b>


    Yeah. I know that. Now let''s evolve.<hr>


    <b><i>Name: Monshiro Green Caterpir Lv8  Butterfly Lv1</i></b>


    Vitality 815


    Magic Power 1725


    Strength 612


    Defense 1518


    Agility 520


    Dexterity 1220


    <b><i>Skills</i></b>


    Flight Lv1


    Fascinating Scales Lv1


    Wind Magic Lv1<hr>


    The evolved Monshiro looks just like the butterfly we saw before.


    The next one is Seguro and its evolutionary destination is Sea Snake. Is it really as ck as I think it is? Evolution!<hr>


    <b><i>Name Seguro Snake Lv8  Sea Snake Lv1</i></b>


    Vitality 3035


    Magic Power 512


    Strength 1823


    Defense 1012


    Agility 1318


    Dexterity 1318


    <b><i>Skills</i></b>


    Bite Lv1


    Coiling Lv1


    Poison Lv1


    Heat Detection Lv1


    Underwater Action Lv1<hr>


    The evolved form of Seguro was a colorful blue and ck sea snake. Nice try! Would this be safe?


    Now that the evolution is over, I return and hurry to the Beastmasters Guild.


    I tell them what I need. That''s when I suddenly realized something. If I synthesized Tsukiyume and Monshiro, what would happen to their egos and such?


    I''ve been thinking a lot about synthetic summoning. Is it really a good idea?


    Nephi-san ising.


    "Sorry to keep you waiting. Synthetic summoning, right?"


    "I''m sorry. I''d like to ask you something first, if that''s okay"


    "Yes, of course. Let''s move to another room"


    "Okay"


    I was ushered into the room where we had talked about the demon. Lily and the others had to wait in another room. It seemed that Nephi-san knew what I wanted to ask.


    "Then tell me"


    "Yes. I''ll be frank. What happens to the ego of the summoned beast when it is synthetic summoned?"


    "The base summoned beast''s ego will remain and the base summoned beast will inherit the ego of the summoned beast used as the material"


    Is it inherited? However, synthetic summoning is the act of killing the synthesized summoned beast. Is it okay to ignore the will of the summoned beast? It can''t be good.


    I''ve been so busy thinking about my adventures that I haven''t even had a chance to talk to Lily and the others...I should apologize to Lily and the others and tell them what''s going on before I do the synthetic summoning.


    "I''m sorry, I''ll talk with my summoned beasts for a moment"


    "Alright"


    I took Lily and the others and headed back to the Seek Highway. I use the dueling system to keep the monsters away from me and perform the Legion summoning. Lily and the others seem to be confused by my unusual behavior.


    "What''s wrong? Takuto?"


    "Ah. I need to apologize to everyone first. Sorry"


    I bowed to everyone. Then Lily and the others are surprised.


    "Eh!?"


    "Takuto-san!"


    "Ah, raise your head, please!"


    "Wh...What''s going on...?"


    I continued.


    "First of all, I''ve been so focused on my adventure that I haven''t had a chance to talk with everyone. It was my mistake. So"


    "So you''ve prepared a ce for us to discuss"


    Setia robs me of my words. Ion and Lily heard this and continued.


    "If so, don''t apologize"


    "That''s right! Takuto! Lily and the others are happy, okay? See? Everyone!"


    Lily asked everyone and they all nodded. That''s nice of you to say, but this next one won''t be tolerated.


    I told everyone about the synthetic summoning, without hiding it from them. I apologized to the summoned beasts that I had summoned for the synthetic summoning.


    "I summoned everyone because I wanted stronger summoned beasts without thinking about what would happen to them...there''s nothing I can do to apologize...all I can do is respect everyone''s opinion. If you don''t want to be synthetic summoned, feel free to tell me"


    Everyone scurried around as I said this. The rest is for everyone to decide


    "Whump!"


    Then Lily jumps into me. Completely by surprise, I fell to the ground with Lily. I get up with Lily in my arms.


    "Don''t do it too fast, it''s dangerous"


    "Lily and the others love you, Takuto!"


    ...Suddenly confessed.


    "Everyone knows how hard Takuto is working for Lily and the others?"


    Eh?


    "Aren''t we a burden to you, Takuto-san?"


    "Wait, Wait a minute. What do you mean?"


    I can''t see what they''re saying at all. Is it a burden to me? That shouldn''t be the case...


    "We were all talking about how you cook for us every day, how you provide us with equipment, how you train us...how we''re a burden to Takuto-sama"


    "If so...I want you to tell me"


    I cringed at the words of Lily and the others...was that what I was thinking...


    I look over at everyone and say how I feel without lying.


    "I''ve never felt anyone of you is a burden. In fact you''ve been a huge help. The cooking, the equipment, the training, I do it because I like it. I''m having a great time adventuring with you guys"


    Everyone shouted at my words. Lilly and the others hugged me.


    "Ehehe~. Lily and the others are together! Takuto!"


    "Yes! It''s so much fun to go on adventures with you, Takuto-san!"


    "That''s why we want to be stronger!"


    "I want to help Takuto-oniichan...be stronger...and have more adventures with him...that''s what I want!"


    Is this everyone''s intention?


    I ask Tsukiyume and Monshiro again.


    "Tsukiyume, Monshiro...I think we''ll probably end up doing a synthetic summoning together. My time with you two has been really short...if you don''t like it, just let me know"


    There was no movement from the two of them as I said that. It looks like they''ve made up their minds. I headed back to the Beastmasters Guild and called Nephi-san.


    "I''ve been waiting for you. Shall we go then?"


    "Yes"


    I set Tsukiyume and Monshiro''s magic stones and perform a synthetic summon. How is it?


    Synthetic summon is possible with Spirit and Butterfly. Do you want to run it?


    After all...I''ll summon them before I do it.


    "I''m going to synthetic summon you now. Before that, I want to tell you both. Thank you for being mypanions, even if it was only for a short time. I''ll never forget you two. I promise"


    As I said this, they moved up and down and looked at each other. As if they were entrusting their intentions to the other.


    It looks like they''re done, so I return them to the magic stone and execute the synthetic summoning.


    "Huu~. Synthetic Summon!"


    Tsukiyume''s and Monshiro''s magic stones were each sucked into the magic circle, the two magic circles ovepped to form a new magic circle and the magic circle shone.


    The summoned figure is a palm-sized green-haired girl with butterfly wings. And then the information flows.


    You have sessfully summoned a Fairy through a synthetic summon


    You seeded in synthetic summoning for the first time among all yers. Obtained the title Pioneer of Synthetic Summon


    I guess I even got a title. I''ll check it out.


    <b>Title Pioneer of Synthetic Summon</b>


    <b>Effect: +5 skill points</b>


    <b>This title is given to the first yer to sessfully perform a synthetic summon among all yers.</b>


    So I checked my current points and found that I was at 16 pts.


    I was also informed that she was the legendary Fairy herself. She flew around me and when I held out my palm, shended in my palm. Then she spun around in my palm and bowed.


    Dare I say it? It''s so cute.


    Then she stares at me. Apparently she can''t talk like Lily and the others, but I know she wants a name.


    I have a name in mind, will it be okay? It seemed that we could choose the same name, but there was the matter of Tsukiyume and Monshiro. I decided to go with what I was thinking!<hr>


    <b><i>Name Luna Fairy Lv1</i></b>


    Vitality 20


    Magic Power 35


    Strength 15


    Defense 20


    Agility 30


    Dexterity 22


    <b><i>Skills</i></b>


    Flight Lv1


    Lyre Lv1


    Dance Lv1


    Fascination Scales Lv1


    Wind Magic Lv1


    Wood Magic Lv1


    Illusion Lv1<hr>


    This brings the total number of summoned beasts I can summon to 7.


    It''s the same as the Roman goddess of the moon, but if I were to use her name, I would expect it to be Luna, so I chose Luna. When the moon is bright, it appears as a white moon. That''s why I gave her a name rted to the moon.


    Still, there are some skills that are new to me. First, the Lyre. It might be better to call it a harp. I think it''s a weapon, but I''ll have to make one for a Fairy.


    And Dance. I think it''s a dance, but I''m not sure what the effect would be.


    Luna jumps around and sits on my shoulder as I name her. She seems to have found her position.


    "Nice to meet you again, Luna"


    I said and Luna nodded with a smile. This is how I finished my first synthetic summoning.<hr>

    Author note:


    This was the chapter where Takuto, Lily and the others shed their feelings for each other. And the first synthetic summon was a Fairy. She is the savior of summoners who can''t get sub-races.


    This means that all summoned beasts for Episode 2 have now appeared.
