Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

The next day at noon at school. Kaito suddenly started making a fuss.

"Seigo! There's been an announcement about our first event at EO!"

I thought, 「We've always had events before」, but apparently he meant something different. According to Kaito, we get a limited-time event announcement run by the company. It seems that the rewards for such events are gorgeous.

"So what kind of event is it?"

"Listen and be amazed! It's a survival game!"

A survival game? I feel like I'm surviving pretty well right now. I'm killing boars and eating meat.

"Well, that's the content of the event table. It's actually a raid boss event"

"Raid bosses are big bosses, right?"

"Yes! It's like all the players take on a big boss"

"Let me check the details for now"

I'll check the details.

The First Administration Event 『Ancient Solitary Island』

Duration: One week

Description: A week-long survival game on a deserted island.

Players must cooperate with each other to survive the grueling week-long survival game.

Players earn points by defeating monsters and cooperating with other players.

Points can be exchanged for prizes of your choice.

Take this opportunity to get powerful weapons and items.

Today is Friday. The game will start next Saturday. That means the event will be held during Golden Week, which starts in about a week on Saturday.

The details of the event will be announced tomorrow...well, I guess it's just a week to prepare for the event. And if players can get points for cooperating with each other, Ruin and the other production workers are going to be busy.

"I'm getting a kick out of this. I'll be able to visit a new city in a week and I'll definitely make it to the top of the event!"

"Good luck"

"Hmm? What's up? Seigo. You're not too keen on it?"

"I'll participate in the event. I just want to do it at my own pace rather than actively"

We're just going to enjoy the game in our usual style. Of course, I'm going to get ready and I'd really like to challenge myself.

After school, I was on fire. The reason was the white horse from yesterday. I'm going to feed it for sure! I'm going to make that white horse recognize my cooking!

However, I didn't have any real food, so I went to the supermarket to buy some food for the holidays. After that, I logged into the game and immediately went to the Beastmaster´s Guild to list summon. My target is the same horse as yesterday!

But once again, I failed twice. Hello~. Are you breathing?

As I hobbled out of the summoning room, Nephi-san called out to me.

"Oh? Did you fail twice?"

"Yes...this is the fourth time, including yesterday"

"What are you trying to summon that fails so often?"

"A horse"

When I say that, Nephi-san is convinced.

"That explains the difficulty"

"Is that so?"

"Yes. The horse is very valuable, you know? It can't be summoned by normal magic stone summoning, only by list summoning, but for the important list summoning, you have to identify the horse, right?"

"Yes"

"But horses are very cautious and rarely show themselves in public"

What? But it showed up yesterday.

"I saw a white horse yesterday"

Nephi was surprised when I said that.

"You met a subspecies of horse? That's quite a precious experience for you, isn't it?"

Hmm? A subspecies? Valuable? Come to think of it, a white horse is a white horse and the one I'm failing to summon is a horse. I thought it was an evolutionary step, but apparently not.

"I'm sorry. What is a subspecies?"

"Oh. I guess my sister didn't tell you. A subspecies is a rare species of summoned beast that is different from the norm"

So there are normal species and rare species. That's new. No, maybe.

"Is goblina a rare species?"

"Goblina is not. It's a female goblin. If the goblina is different from the norm, it's a subspecies. The name is different, so you can easily tell"

Hee. So if the name is different from the one you summoned, it's a subspecies.

"By the way, is there anything good about being a subspecies?"

"Of course there is. Subspecies evolve differently than normal. A white horse can become a unicorn or a pegasus"

I just heard something very important!

"By any chance, can't a normal horse become a unicorn or something?"

"No, it won't. If normal horses could do it, the world would be full of unicorns by now"

Ooh...if you put it that way, it makes sense. But from the way she said it, other famous legendary beasts seem to be quite difficult.

At any rate, I have to get my revenge from yesterday! Nephi said I might not see it again, but if that white horse came for my potato salad, it'll surely come if I make a better potato salad than that.

So I went around to the grocery stores in town to make potato salad. Interestingly, each grocery store sold a different variety of vegetables and I had a hard time gathering all the ingredients I needed. The ingredients were potatoes, carrots, onions and cucumbers. Normally, I would add ham and boiled eggs, but this time I'm going to use only vegetables. Here's the finished product, just like yesterday.

Potato Salad: Rarity 4 Cooking Quality E+

Effect: 35% fullness restored, magic power increased for 2 hours (medium)

A vegetable dish made from potatoes.

It contains carrots, onions and cucumbers and each vegetable has a different texture.

Rarity, quality and effect have been increased. I'm proud of it. When Setia saw the finished dish, she said.

"Can't I just taste it?"

Setia had missed out on the potato salad last night. I was afraid she would resent me, so I asked her to taste it.

"Oh, it's delicious! ...Ta, Takuto-san. One more bite"

"Not good. You might be able to eat it in the field, there"

"I understand. Let's go right away!"

I can feel Setia's motivation like never before. The power of potato salad is something to be feared.

We arrived at the cave while fighting. And when I served the potato salad, a white horse appeared. It reacted so quickly...I've been waiting for this. I guess you could say I've already succeeded in feeding it.

As soon as I raise the potato salad, its tail moves faster than yesterday and I can tell it's happy. How's that?

But the info doesn't flow and it appeals for more. Ahhh, this is the way it goes...when I look at Setia, her face is stained with despair.

As a result, my potato salad was eaten up again. But this time, the reaction was different. The white horse came over to me and pounced on me. And then the information came through.

『You have successfully fed the White Horse. You can add it to your companions』

Yay! I got a white horse! And my feeding skill has leveled up. Let's think of a name for it. Hmm...white horse...when I think of horse names, the names of racehorses come to mind. Maybe it's good to have a reference. Okay, I've decided!

Liqueur is a general term for liquor, isn't it? I believe that Kayo's sisters' father once drank white liqueur. It was the first time I saw white liquor, so it stayed in my memory. Of course, I didn't drink it, so I don't know how it tastes, but there was a famous horse named after the liquor and it sounds kind of cute. I guess it won't be a problem.

And as for its status, it has the riding skill! I knew this meant I could ride! I'm getting excited! But it takes a lot of courage to ride a white horse...no, my feelings are a minor issue! As I'm about to ride, Liqueur passes by me and jumps on Ion. It's so sad!

"Why is it me?"

He completely ignores me. I'm the one who made the potato salad you ate! I can't help it...after thinking it over, I think I'll have a problem getting on directly. Since Mew-san isn't here, I'll consult with the NPC leatherworker or the Beastmaster's Guild. I've heard that the Beastmaster's Guild in particular is quite good and I'm sure they have harnesses for horses! I'll go there later.

Then, I'll organize the cave search, including raising Liqueur's level...the organization is the same as yesterday: Kotetsu, Chess, Byakuya and Sabik. There are Goblin Thieves, so Gray will be staying at home.

We repeat the same strategy as yesterday, mining and fighting. I was able to raise Liqueur's level steadily, but without Sabik. I'd like to get Sabik and Liqueur to level up and evolve by the end of the day.

With that in mind, I continued my search and came upon a square. What is this place?

Author note:

I've released some information about the event. I'll give more details on the event rules later. Well, don't worry, there's no way the first event will end with just exploring a deserted island.

The next event will be a boss battle in a cave. I hope you enjoy it.
