As I'm checking my status, the elven girl speaks to me.

'Are you the one who summoned me?'

Respectful for a young girl.......coupled with her hair style, she looks like a young lady.....yet her clothes are out.

'Ah, the Summoner's Tact.

Mr. Tact, I presume. Then tell me your name.

I don't know what to do... The name of the elf...what to do...normally I would choose it based on the plants, trees and flowers...I look at the elf girl and she tilts her head slightly to look at me. There was a flower that somehow came to mind from that gesture.

'How about a setia?'

The name comes from the poinsettia, the famous flower of Christmas. The language of the flower is 'blessing', 'my heart is on fire', 'holy wish' and so on. By the way, these words vary depending on the color of the flower. If it's pink, it means ”compassion” or ”purity”. If it was white, it would have been 'adored' or 'I pray for your blessing'.

At first glance it doesn't seem to fit this girl, but I had heard that the green leaves of this flower used at Christmas represent 'eternal life, love'. I had an image of longevity in my mind, and for some reason the word ”love” seemed to fit this boy.

This flower, by the way, is poisonous. The sap and leaves are poisonous, to be precise. The lady at the flower shop told me that someone had actually died from eating them. Somehow, I have a feeling that this girl is not a simple matter.

'Setia...that's a lovely name. I like it. Then please call me Setia from now on. Takt-sama.

Well, it's a pleasure to work with you. Setia.

Yes. Leave it to me.

He hugs me as he says this. That's out of the blue.

””Mm!”

Lily and Aeon swell at the sight.

'I don't think we should hug them out of the blue!

It's Lily. You say that?

Yeah. That's enough. Please leave!

Ion goes to peel it off. Setia looks at him and smiles evilly.

'No? Mr. Takt.

You come over here to ask me that... and you know it. This kid.... is still not a simple matter.

'Don't ask Mr. Tact! No!

Aeon. You're a good girl.

That's a shame. She's been stripped.

You don't sound sorry to me at all! Somehow I could predict the future relationship between Setia and Ion. Now, what do you think of Setia's status?

Wait a minute... isn't this magic and dexterity value strange for a lvl 1? And there are a lot of skills. And there's one magic I'm interested in.

What is tree magic? The rest of the time, the knowledge of the elves... it looks kind of awesome. And then Lily insisted on being a big sister again, but Setia easily started calling Lily and Aeon big sister, and needless to say, Lily was excited. Aeon seemed a bit happy about it too.
