Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

After school, I went to the supermarket to buy some food. Then I logged into the game. Today's plan was to have a social event for summoners in the evening. I received an email from Rook immediately.

『The time is 8:00 p.m and the meeting place is the central square of the town』

That's it. Tomorrow, we'll finally be leaving for a new town. So, there was something I had to do before the night. I have to say goodbye to the people who have taken care of me. I think it's important to do this properly.

That's why I headed to the Beastmaster´s Guild first. Lily and Ion are frightened, but Setia doesn't know what's going on.

"...I have a bad feeling about this, Takuto-sama. Are you hiding something?"

Setia asks me. I have no intention of hiding anything. It's just that there are some things in this world that are better left unknown.

When I entered the beastmaster´s guild, Aura was not there. Lily and Ion were happy. But the world is a cruel place. I quickly avoided an attack by someone. The three of them were unable to avoid the attack from behind and were pushed down.

"Lily-chan, Ion-chan. Welcome! I've missed you so much"

""Hii!?""

"Eh!? Who's that!? This person!?"

Setia let out her voice. At that moment, something came off the attacker Aura-san.

"No~!? Elf! C, Cute...haa...haa..."

"Hi!? Ta, Takuto-sama. Help"

"You look so cute with your belly hanging out...huhuhu...huhu..."

"Wh, What are you doing...no, not good? If you lick my stomach..."

Aura-san is too brave. I mean, the security doesn't respond to NPCs... is that okay?

"I, I can't get out"

"If you like Setia, we don't care!"

When she desperately tries to escape, she tries to sacrifice Lily and Setia. Ion. Ion...I can understand why you want to escape at any cost, but I don't think that's a good idea.

"Huhuhu...not good. Let the four of us have some fun"

"""N, Not my ears~"""

While Aura-san's outburst was still going on, a clerk equipped with a paper fan came.

"...Again?"

"I came here today to talk to you two"

"I understand. Guildmaster, they want to talk to you"

"Wait a minute! I'm in the middle of something!"

"""Not good at all!"""

Lily and the others are desperate. Even Setia seems to be in a state of crisis, even her tone changes.

"Oh dear. Let's hear what you have to say first"

"Actually, I've decided to leave this town tomorrow"

"...Eh!? Why!?"

Aura-san was surprised to hear my words and stood up. The three of them who were released hurriedly ran away and got behind me. Oh dear. Then the clerk says.

"It's no wonder at his level. The only people around here who he cant match is the guardian god"

"That's true...but the only thing I'm looking forward to..."

How much do you like the girls...she? The clerk asks.

"Have you decided which town you want to go to? Well, you seem to be gathering a lot of information, so I have some idea of where you're going"

"I don't think it's off. I'm heading to Freetia, the land of freedom"

"It's an obvious choice for a summoner. It's a nice country. It's also our home country"

Hmm? I didn't know that. I'll take the opportunity to ask around.

"Since we're here, can you tell us about it?"

"Sure. As you may know, Freetia is famous for its lack of discrimination against summoned beasts and subhumans. That's because the king who founded the country is a summoner"

Hee, that's a new one for me. It's not surprising that the king who founded the country would create such a country.

"That bloodline has been passed down to the present day and the current king and first princess are summoners"

I can feel the history. I think Freetia is a pretty powerful country, but apparently it's not without its problems. Aura-san explains it to me.

"The king is too old to be a summoner. The first princess is one of the best summoners in the world, but she fell ill with an unknown illness...the country has many problems. So a summoner like you, Takuto, would be very welcome"

Achyaa~. But I think it's the same in every country that has problems. It's probably the same in real life.

Aura-san further added.

"The king who founded the country is also the founder of the Beastmaster´s Guild"

"Hmm? So, the head office of the Beastmaster´s Guild is"

"As you can imagine, the head office of the Beastmaster´s Guild is in Freetia. It's unnecessarily large and the facilities are amazing. There's even food for the summoned beasts"

That's great. I was a little curious. But the clerk said,

"Well, you don't need it. After all, you are a three-star chef"

Oh no, he knows. But Aura-san doesn't seem to know.

"He? What does it mean to be a three-star chef?"

"You don't know? He's a celebrity in town, you know. It's rumored that he's a summoner who won all the cooking battles against a noble chef, was praised by five-star chefs and became a three-star chef"

I'm that famous? Me?

But Aura-san's surprise was greater than mine.

"I've never heard of it from you! Why didn't you tell me!?"

"If I told you, you'd be sitting in the restaurant where you could eat his food until they arrived, right? Then it would interfere with the operation of the guild"

Indeed. That's a problem.

"I can go there during breaks or something!"

"No, you can't. It's obvious that the break time will be exceeded"

Yeah. That's probably what's going to happen.

"BooBoo. Don't you care about your cooking, Takuto-kun?"

"I do. That's why I've eaten it. Amur minnow's tsukune. It was delicious"

"You came all the way to eat it. I'm sorry. I've been out of town"

"I'm also an adventurer, so that's natural"

I appreciate it when you say so. And Aura-san explodes.

"Unfair! You traitor! I want to eat it too. Haa!? Have you make it here"

"You should stop"

"Why!"

I'll make it if I can find the ingredients, but I think there's another problem.

"I'd like to ask you one question. Did the monsters you fed approach you?"

"Yes, they did. They would stare at the food as if they wanted to eat it"

"Is that so? As it turns out, that's not possible with ordinary food"

Wh, What the hell!?

"Emm. What do you mean?"

"It's probably because my food tastes better than normal food, that's the problem"

"I see. In other words, you cook better food than normal in the forest, so the monsters came close to you because they wanted to eat it"

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. If it smells delicious, they'll approach you.

"So, Takuto-kun, your summoned beasts have an unusual liking"

"It makes sense to think that your summoned beasts´s abnormal liking to you is related to your cooking. Of course, I think it also has something to do with the fact that you treat your summoned beasts well"

It's kind of embarrassing. Or rather, there is a good feeling. I feel like I've heard something important.

"And here's the thing. Here we are talking about what will happen if he cooks, but will our summoned beasts be quiet?"

"Uh...they certainly wouldn't be. I've only been feeding them the same food lately and I'm not sure I can hold them back"

"Me neither. Besides, there are a lot of other summoned beasts here, so if there's a riot we'll be in trouble"

"That's true. But I can't give up!"

She must really want to eat it.

"What do you plan to do after you leave this town?"

"I'm going to rent a store in Freetia and use that as my base. I've made a contract with the guild to send the food to the innkeeper Mocchi-san, who is currently taking care of me"

"She's good at business, isn't she? So for now, you can always go to Mocchi-san's inn to eat, right?"

"Yes"

"Did you hear that? We can go there to eat when you're not busy"

"Yes! I'm looking forward to it! Takuto-kun"

That's a lot of pressure! But now that you're expecting me, I have to do my best.

"I'll do my best to live up to your expectations"

I said goodbye again to the two satisfied people.

"Thank you for all your help with the summoned beast"

"It's okay. It's my job. I look forward to seeing you in Freetia"

"I wish you all the best on your journey"

"Thank you very much. Now, if you'll excuse me"

I said my goodbyes, completed the last quest I could complete, and my guild rank was raised. The color is gray. Then we left the Beastmaster´s Guild. As we parted, Lily and the others were caught again by Aura-san and we left the Beastmaster's Guild.

"T, Terrible sight...I will remember that. Takuto-sama"

I was glared at by Setia. I guess this can't be helped.

Continue around the farewell greetings. I greeted the Adventurer's Guild and after completing the quest, my guild rank went up like the Beastmaster´s Guild. The guild card turns to ash. I also greeted the old lady at the Alchemy Guild and the old man at the fish shop. The old man gave me a landlocked musa salmon to thank me for his Amur minnow sales.

Once again, there were many good people in this town. I hope the next town is nice too...

After the meet and greet, I logged out early. I've got a social event in the evening.

Author note:

I've added a little description of Freetia. I think this will give you a rough idea of how the story will go from Episode 2 onwards.

Now, the next chapter is the summoners' social gathering. There will be summoners other than Rook and Tyrol, as well as ordinary tamers. I hope you enjoy it.
