Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 320: The girls' investigation and the holy beast one-horned horse

The next day, when I logged in, Lily and Ion were waiting for me in addition to Astel, who slept with me. For some reason, they looked at me silently.

"Wh, What's wrong?"

"Takuto...you're hiding something from Lily and the others, aren't you?"

Giggle.

"What's that about?"

When I play stupid, Ion pursues me.

"You didn't give the dragon breath instructions during yesterday's battle, did you?"

"Yes. I thought we didn't need to use it. In fact, it was fine, wasn't it?"

"That's right. But you could have definitely aimed for a lot of damage"

Ion is sharp, after all.

"If you put it that way, you didn't use everyone's trump card either, did you?"

"Indeed...you did not instruct everyone to play their trump cards for excuses"

"That can't be right"

If it had been a grueling battle or if we were desperately short on forces, we would have had to use them.

But it wasn't a mistake not to use it as an excuse.

"...You really don't want to talk about it? Then we have no choice. Lily!"

"Yeah!"

Lily takes up position at the door.

"I won't let you out of the room unless you talk to me! Takuto"

That's coming...but it's sweet.

"I don't mind"

"Oh, that?"

I take out the ice machine I exchanged. I look at the description.

Ice Machine: Important Item

A machine that produces ice of high purity. The quality changes with the water used.

Umm. So it uses water. Well, I put in some natural water from Yellow Ossa to try it out, pressed a button and ice was produced. I'll appraise it.

Ice: Rarity 3, Cooking Quality B

Frozen water. It is pure and used for cold drinks and cold dishes.

I knew it could make cold drinks! I must make this, but first, shaved ice. Take out the manual shaved ice machine I exchanged.

Manual Shaved Ice Machine: Important Item

A machine for producing shaved ice. The quality changes with the ice used.

Now, set the ice and plate I just made, turn the handle and shaved ice is made.

"What is that...looks delicious..."

"N, Not good! Lily! If you lose, it's not good!"

"B, But Ion-cha~n!"

"Gununu~"

Huhuh. But it ain't over yet. Finally, maple syrup is poured on top.

""Ah!?""

Finished! Appraisal.

Kakigōri: Rarity 5 Cooking Quality C-

Effect: 10% fullness recovery, 2 hours magic power up (large), 2 hours heat resistance

A chilled ice made of finely shaved ice. Maple syrup is used, making it sweet and very tasty. It has a cooling effect on the body and is a dish you will want to eat on a hot day.

It looks so delicious. I take out my spoon.

"Itadakima~su"

""Uu~""

The first shaved ice is eaten in front of Lily and Ion.

"Yummy!?"

It's perfect. Perfect Kakigōri. It's magnificent. Sometimes food terrorism happens, but this is a really good recreation of it. Then comes Astel.

"I'll have some of that deliciousness!"

"I'm proud of it. You want some?"

"Of course! A~h. Nn~! Sweet, cold, delicious~!"

""......""

Astel has a big smile on her face while the two of them are about to cry. They're really weak for this.

"Look"

"I won't eat unless you talk to me!"

"Eh!? Ion-chan~"

Lily makes a pitiful face. Ion, who is trying to be strong, is also drooling with tears in her eyes, making the situation unintelligible.

"I'll talk to you. Let's talk over Kakigōri"

""Waai!""

I eat my shaved ice first. They're still kids. Well, I guess that's what happens when you have shaved ice in front of you. Well, let's talk.

"First of all, do you remember the last time Lily and Ion grew up?"

"Takuto patted me on the head!"

"You said otherwise...I knew something was up"

Ion seems to have anticipated this. And I still don't remember that one... now that I've decided to talk about it, I have to.

"The last time Lily and Ion grew up, they were different from usual, they were unconscious"

"Eh?"

"Is that true?"

"Yes..."

I speak with a will.

"I looked into the eyes of the unconscious Lily and Ion and you both had eyes like dragons...when you regained consciousness, you were cured, but I couldn't shake the feeling that you were in danger"

"I didn't realize that was happening...but I wish you had told me about those things earlier"

"You have to cure Takuto of his secretive habits"

"That's a no-no. Takuto Papa"

Lily, who doesn't fix her big swinging attacks every time, told me. Furthermore, even Astel...I know, but I can't help but keep it a secret.

I guess Lily and I are a lot alike in the way we don't fix things that need fixing.

"I understand what you said. Then, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going to go to the Beastmaster's Guild for a bit to ask them about it"

"""I'm coming with you!"""

So when I went outside to head to the Beastmaster´s Guild to ask about that mysterious phenomenon, they all found out that I had eaten shaved ice and were all friendly and angry with me.

I made shaved ice for everyone and also made some as souvenirs for Caim-san and the others and headed for the Beastmaster's Guild.

I gave the shaved ice to Caim-san and the others and explained the situation to them.

"Yummy!?"

"...Guilmaster. Quickly explain"

"Nephi...could you not say that while eating? First of all, rest assured that there is no danger like you think. You can even use dragon breath. Well, at the cost of becoming smaller for three days"

Ah, I knew it.

"Dragonification is not a problem. You just feel it, don't you?"

He means the next trial.

"We can't talk about it. But it's going to be tough for you. You'd better be prepared"

"...I understand. Thank you for your advice"

He implicitly told me I should be stronger. There are two ways I can get stronger: leveling up and acquiring skills. I guess it's time for me to spend my skill points, since I only have a few more advanced magic and a dark attribute left.

When I was about to leave, he stopped me.

"Ah, here. Are you going to put this on the list at the store?"

"That's important"

"...We serve it in a variety of flavors. We will also be serving cold juice"

I felt Caim-san and Nephi-san's eyes light up. It was a complete publicity stunt, but so much the better.

After that, I asked Nephi-san to come to the synthetic summoning room. I let Lily and Ion back down and I summoned Liqueur. Then the corridor of souls occurs.

"So this is the Corridor of Souls..."

"Yes...I'm going to summon you two synthetically now, but before I do, just let me know if you really want to do this"

Then Liqueur speaks.

『I have no objection if it makes me even stronger and able to protect Ion and her friends. But I want you to leave Astel's soul behind』

"Liqueur-san..."

Then Liqueur tells Astel.

『You know how hard it is to be a horse? They can be rough with the reins"

Kusaa! I think I have an idea..and now I understand why he didn't let Lily ride him. The maneuvering at the beginning, I guess it was rooted to the spot.

But Liqueur continues.

『But still, carrying the lord on board and fighting with him is better than anything else. I am proud of our adventures together』

"Liqueur-san...thank you very much. Takuto Papa...I have been all about support. But this time I want to fight with you, Liqueursan, with your help!"

"Thank you both...for being so selfish with me. I'm proud of my adventures with you, Liqueur. I will never forget them"

Then Liqueur smiles.

『Hu...of course. Then, Lord. I ask you to synthetic summon』

"Please!"

"Ah! Let's go! Synthetic Summoning!"

The two return to their magic stones and are sucked into the magic circle. The two magic circles overlap and become one magic circle. A white horse emerges from the magic circle.

Its coat has turned scarlet and its horn has evolved to be longer and thicker than that of Monoceros. The horse's coat has grown and above all, its body is shining and beautiful. This is the unicorn of the game.

『Name us』

『Give us a new name』

I´m told to give it a new name.

"How about Spica?"

The name comes from a star. It is known as a blue-white shining star. In Japan, this star is called the Pearl Star. The name was chosen from the star Astel and the white Liqueur.

『It's a pretty name!』

『I have no objection. My soul, with the Lord!』

Now I have four summoned beasts that I can summon.

Be that as it may...its stats and skills are badass! I'd say it's a quintessential unicorn...if you think about it, it's a synthetic summon of the second evolution of a synthetic summon and a regular third evolution. Maybe it deserves to be as strong as the 4th evolution. I pat the unicorn.

"Ah... help us"

Thus, after the synthetic summoning was over, we returned to Liebling, where Lian was making shaved ice and everyone was eating it.

『Ah...』

Make shaved ice for Lily, Ion and Spica. It's not fair. Then confiscate the ice machine and shaved ice machine.

Anyone can make it, this is dangerous. In case you are wondering, Konoha, Chess and Yuuga are nipping at my heels. Furthermore, Iyuki is also clinging to my waist and won't leave. After all, summoned beasts, whose main ingredient is ice, seem to love shaved ice. But, you know what?

"You ate a lot, didn't you? Be patient!"

The summoned beasts look at me with a shun. At this rate, defeat is only a matter of time. I decided to log out and retreat.
