127 # 122 Carnivorous plants and dangerous conditions.txt (1/2)

The next day, school is over and I log into the game as soon as possible.

I quickly summoned Gail and the others and apologized for what happened yesterday and thanked them for their help. They've all properly forgiven me. I'm lucky to have good people in my life.

As I'm making the food to thank them, Lily and the others come over to talk to me.

'I see that tact fails you too,'

'Of course you do.　There's no such thing as a person who doesn't fail.

You almost got hit by a stingray's tail, too.

'I know I did... and when I think about it, I feel like I've been making a lot of mistakes lately.

Maybe I'm loosening up. I need to be more nervous.

I think it's nice to see Mr. Tact fail, don't you?

Oh, I think so, too!

Love fire for Setia. That's not a compliment.

I have Lily and the others working on loco moco and airy production, while I finish the honey dish. When I called for Hephaistos, Hephaistos proudly brought one of his great swords to me. No way, he finished it!

Sorry for the wait. Finally, the Iron Great Sword is ready!

Lily's new weapon!

'Oh. Yeah.

Let's appraise it as soon as possible.

Leapling's Great Sword: Rare Level 4 Great Sword Quality E

Weight: 40 Endurance Value: 50 Attack Power: 30

A large sword made of iron. Its weight is a stumbling block, but it is a very powerful weapon if you can master it.

On the peak of the great sword, the emblem of the Clan ”Leapling” is enameled.

Whaaat? I looked at the brim and sure enough, I found the Leaping emblem.

''...How could you put something like this in there?

It's a surprise. Are you surprised?

'Oh. I'm totally f*cked.

d*mn it, I'm so happy for you! But really, I'm starting to feel like a no-go these days.

I can't keep getting dinged up.

'Lily, this is your new sword.

'Yes!　Thank you!　Tact!　Hephaistos!

I was dented because the werewolf's great sword was broken. Hephaistos got it out at the right time.

I'm glad Lily is happy, but I'm not going to wave my sword around the store.

We all ate together afterwards and it looked good. And after a long time, my cooking skills have improved to a level. No, it's kind of a delicate thing to go up here.

We'll also do some post-lunch exercise. Today's opponent is Ion. As I said before, I train mainly in close combat. As I expected, Ion is a fast swallower. They anticipate my movements and aim to flick my sword or attack me. But he's still naive... because if he misses his expectations, he'll be all about defense. It looks like I'll still need to train.

After that, I summoned them at the Beast Demon Guild. This time, I'm summoning a synthetic target.

That's why I successfully summoned Snake first, then Lion.

I named them each this way.

Name Route Snake Lv 1

Vitality 16

Magical power 2

Strength 10

Defensive Strength 6

Agility 8

Dexterity value 8

skill

Biting Lv 1, coiled Lv 1, poison Lv 1, heat detection Lv 1.

Name: Lex Lion Lv 1

Life force 8

Magical power 6

Strength 12

Defensive Strength 8

Agility 8

Dexterity value 6

skill

Biting Lv1 Clawing Lv1 Intimidation Lv1 Night Eye Lv1

That brings the number of summons I can summon to 8.

I chose this name because Root means way or something, but it could be the first of the composite monsters, and if it's going to be a wyvern or something like that, as I'm aiming for, it could be the summoner that paves the way for the evolution of dragons.

Lex is Latin for king. I was conscious of a name that would be appropriate for both a lion and a griffon.

It was easily named because I had thought about it in school. I think it's really getting to the point where I can't help myself.

Today, we're going to raise the level of the two animals, and we're going to choose Trent's Forest as the location. The reason for this is this email I received from Miu Miu.

'Wool's Robe is complete!　I'll give it to you tomorrow night. You can thank me for the wood!

It's a wood prompt, which I didn't expect. But then I remembered that I haven't actually completed Trent's quest yet either, so I guess I'll go kill Trent. Besides, there are some monsters I haven't met yet, and I want to collect honey for the Honey Bee. I'd like to open a shop depending on the numbers.

So the first member of the team will be Setia, Gail, Ricule, Root and Lex. Root is around my neck... are all snakes like this? That King Cobra is never going to happen. I'm confident I'll be crushed.

The only monster on the street was a gray wolf. Setia's magic gave me a head start, and I rushed in with my liqueur. Gale finishes off the survivors.

The two animals leveled up and went straight into the forest. Here, I summoned Love Fire instead of Liqueur. Now let's go explore the forest.

The first thing we meet is still the same goblins. Since we're here, let's use our new magic.

”Bottomless Swamp!

The goblins are sinking into the swamp that has suddenly formed. Then Setia's bow and Gale's lightning rained down mercilessly, wiping them out.

Yup. It was really easy to defeat them. The new magic is amazing.

As I was looking for the cypresses, Setia was attacked by something.

''Kyah!

I turned at Setia's sudden scream and saw that Setia had been caught by a vine and was being held upside down.

'Wait!　What, you're looking at me!　Mr. Takt!

Setia blushes and presses her skirt down... it's mind-blowing to watch. I can't see. I'm innocent.

When I try to help her with my magic, Setia is taken somewhere. I look in the direction they're taking her and I see a tubular plant. Identification.

Sarracenia lv9.

Normal Monster Target Active

This is Sarracenia? Aren't you big? He's taller than me, but...

But in the meantime, Setia is taken away.

'Master Tact!　What are you drinking?　A.

Raise the leaves at the entrance, the spiky mouth(?) Open. Oh man.

I try to help, but the love fire moves before I can.

'Sis Setia!　Huh!　Foxfire, a flash!

Love Fire's special move exploded, and Sarracenia was cut in half, engulfed in fire and knocked down.

Just when I thought it was brilliant, a glittering light fell on Love Fire. What is it? It's not supposed to be evolution, but...

Oh, my ass...it hurts...but you've saved me. Thank you, love fire...love fire?

Setia falls and hits her ass, and when Setia thanks Love Fire for the fall, Love Fire doesn't respond. What's wrong?

Koibito looks at Setia. Thank God... it looks fine!

Sis Setia...I love you!
