”You can't summon them in the whole shop.

'Yeah, well I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being so reckless.

If you get a chance, I'll show you.

Oh, really? Thank you.

Now, I think I have a general idea of what they're talking about, but I'm going to ask them just in case. Sure enough, I was asked to instruct them as beginners.

''As the top summoner and by far the best player, Tact-kun would be the right person for the job, right?

'Who's the top player I'm just a mediocre summoner.

Everyone is silent at my words. Why?

You're serious. Mr. Takut.

You know... what do you call the first person to beat a mid-boss if you don't call him a top player?

Mmmm...maybe you're right.

'But I was fishing yesterday, remember?

Yes?

What's that? That's a face. Mr. Lewin. 'But you know...I needed it for Aeon's meal.

'Oh, by the way, you made weights and fishing hooks.

I made you a fishing rod.

Mr. Lewin has his head in his hands.

'I certainly haven't heard of any top players fishing, but could you please?'

It's unusual for Mr. Lewin to ask for that much. Is there a reason for that?

In fact, Luke here is the first summoner other than Mr. Tact to guess a female sub-race.

Oh. Congratulations! But how does that connect to the story?

'To be clear, Luke could be targeted by a player.

'We're dependent on them and there's nothing we can do about it.

Do you think I'd be okay in there?

For now. You won't be able to go after them so much with you. It's not like anyone would try to take on a full party of extremely rare subraces and evolving summoners in the current situation.

Does that mean I have to escort you? Well, I'm not going to take on the boss, and the only thing I have to do is fish.

Please!

Well, I enjoy the game as much as the next guy. Do you need a little help?

Of course. You do this, and you get paid. Mew.

'I'll take it from here. Takt, you're still in your early armor, and you've got quite a bit of piranha skin, right?

Oh. I've forgotten all about it, and it's all bottled up.

I have. I forgot things...

Haha. It happens all the time. But I think that's a good thing this time, don't you think? After all, you can make a robe out of werewolf skin and piranha skin. And Tact-kun has a kicking skill, so you can make shoes too. How about these two as a reward?

Seriously! If you can make it for free, you can wish for it.

'Okay. I'll take care of it.

'Oh, thank you!'

I don't know what to do when you're honestly pleased. I feel a little guilty because I'm the one who gets paid.

We'll look into it. If you need help with something, just let us know.

I understand.

This is how I ended up taking care of Luke and Tyrol. For now, I'm going to exchange friends with the two of them and form a party. Now, where shall we start?
