Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

I wanted to get another horse, so I tried, but failed. 5 consecutive losses of summoning a horse, record breaking. I regretted that I should have used the Flame Magic Stone, but there was no point now. I was about to leave the summoning room with Koihi when an incident occurred. The source of the incident was Lily.

"Let me touch your tail, Koihi-chan!"

"Hue!? No, you can't!"

"Don't be so hard on me, let me stroke it~"

Lily said and touched Koihi's tail.

"Ya!? Ah, no!!"

The next moment, a magic circle is drawn on the ground where Lily is. It was the color of a magic circle that I did not know. The color was crimson. Is this flame magic? The moment I think so, Koihi sings.

"Flame Circle!"

A pillar of fire shoots up from the magic circle. Seeing the scene, I'm convinced. It's clearly stronger than fire magic. When the pillar of fire disappeared, Lily, who was in the center, was charred black. I guess she got what she deserved.

"...Keho"

Lily collapsed while saying that. Koihi panicked and apologized.

"I, I'm sorry! I just"

"Don't worry about it. It was Lily's own fault"

"Ion-chan, you're cold"

Lily stood up as she said this. In this game, damage does not occur indoors. Actually, there is no damage to Lily with the magic just before. The playfulness of this game is that there is no damage, but it is purposely charred.

By the way, the clothes didn't rip even though they were charred. In the first place, their clothes have no status, no durability value and are invincible. You can't see inside their skirts and they're still as ironclad as ever.

When I asked Koihi about flame magic, Koihi said that she can use 【Flame Circle】and 【Torrid Hell】. Torrid Hell is Japanese for flaming hell. According to Koihi, it's a spell that turns the field into a blazing inferno, with the effect of gradually inflicting fire on the enemy, increasing the effectiveness of fire and explosion attributes and decreasing the effectiveness of water and ice attributes.

I'll have to see if we can actually use it, but I can tell you that it looks insanely powerful. The only thing is, it seems that Koihi can't use fire magic. I don't know what that means.

When I left the room, I greeted Nephi-san. Nephi sensed Koihi and she treated her kindly, so I'm glad she was able to greet her safely.

She then showed me around the items and equipment in the Beastmaster´s Guild. My goal was to see Liqueur's equipment, but I wanted to see all kinds of things anyway.

Then we talked about Koihi on the way.

"I've been amazed today. A fox cerian beast is rare, but to come across a subspecies is even more so"

"Eh? Koihi is a subspecies too?"

"Yes, it is. The original fox Cerian Beast has blond hair"

W, What the heck! So I got two subspecies just today. By the way, are there any special benefits?

"Of course, the evolution destination of subspecies is different from usual"

That's what I thought. When Lily and the others evolved, their names didn't change, right? I'll ask about that too.

"There are various types of subracial evolution. Some species evolve normally, but there must be certain conditions for a dragonewt to evolve. I'm sure you can figure it out if you look it up, but the guild rules prohibit me from telling you, so I'm sorry"

I guess it's still not good. But it's good to know that there are certain conditions that need to be met. I don't know if it's the level or what, but if Lily and the others want it, I'll do my best to help them.

But the rules of the guild? Oh, I think that's what the old woman was talking about at the Alchemy Guild. I'm pretty sure she was talking about learning being a business and strength.

"Is that why the guild rules prohibit it because it is related to strength?"

"That's right. Especially, a strong summoned beast can be a military power in itself. It is said that the king who founded this country and created the Beastmaster´s Guild had many powerful summoned beasts with him to protect the country. In case you're wondering, that king was said to have a Pegasus with him"

Seriously? I like that. I'd like to ride Liqueur and fly around in the sky someday. While we were talking about this, we seemed to have arrived at our destination.

As Aura-san had said, the selection of goods was unbelievable. There were many kinds of food for summoned beasts alone. I asked the four of them to try it out, but the three girls except for Koihi didn't seem interested.

"""I want Takuto's (san, sama) food!"""

Yeah. I'm happy, but shouldn't I enjoy it? The number of summoned beasts is increasing and it's a lot of work.

"They love you, don't they? Takuto-san"

Nephi-san, you're smiling. I'm convinced now that the information about you and Aura-san being sisters is correct!

And the next thing Lily and the others super reacted to. It was clothes. This store was a store that sold clothes for sub-races. What was remarkable was that it wasn't armor. According to the story, there were some subspecies who wanted to be fashionable and this store was the answer to their wish.

Ji―

Lily and the others looked at me. They look like they want it so badly. But I guess it's all about taste. The price of the cheapest clothes is 100,000G, which I can't afford at the moment. What kind of clothes cost 100,000? I promised Lily and the others that I would buy them for them when I could afford it and they backed down. The female clerk and Nephi-san were laughing at me.

Help me, please. This is a trap, right?

Next, accessories. You can guess how it turned out. But I was interested in this place, too.

"I got some quartz. Can you make accessories for summoned beasts with it?"

"Yes, but quartz is weak"

Well, in this world, it looks like ordinary crystal, so it's no good if you compare it to jewelry. But the four of them reacted to my words.

"Lily will wear it! She's the best older sister!"

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm going to wear it!"

"Jewels are only suitable for an elf like me!"

"A, Au...I...want it too..."

""""Mmmm""""

A war has broken out. It was hard to quiet this down. And we finally arrived at the horse store. My mental HP is low. Let's have a quick look.

Cordovan Saddle: Rarity 2 Armor Quality E

Weight: 5

Additional Effect: Balance is more stable when riding.

Essential equipment when riding. Equip it on your horse's back for a more stable ride.

Cordovan Stirrups: Rarity 2 Armor Quality E

Weight:5

Additional Effect: When riding, your posture becomes more stable.

Essential equipment for mounted combat. It allows you to handle weapons without losing your balance.

Also useful when riding a horse.

Cordovan Reins: Rarity 2 Armor Quality E

Weight: 5

Additional Effect: Enables you to give instructions to your horse when riding.

Essential equipment when riding. You can tell your horse to turn left or right, or to stop.

Each of these three items costs 1000G, but they seem to be essential for riding. The reins also come with a set of hammers and a headband.

"If you're a great rider, you can make all your own equipment"

I hope I can do that someday, but it's a long way off. So I decided to buy all three. I summoned Liqueur and asked them to equip him for me. This seems to be a service. Thank God. I don't know how to equip a horse.

Then I tried to ride Liqueur after I finished equipping him. It's a comfortable ride. Cordovan, as expected. By the way, cordovan is a type of horse leather. It's often used in real life as well. Shoes, bags, school bags, etc. are famous.

I let Liqueur run for a while. I don't have any experience in horse riding, but I can ride comfortably thanks to the effects of my equipment. I don't think this would be possible in real life. After all, I don't know how to handle a horse or use the reins. I was confident that I would fall off the horse.

After that, I picked up the envious Lily and the others one by one. Thanks to his enjoyment of riding, Liqueur's riding skill has improved. But was it my imagination that he seemed to be in a better mood when he rode with Lily and the others?

Well, I'm satisfied with that for today. I decided to log out. As the four of us lay in bed, Koihi was warm.
