184 # 173 The fox god and the shadow messenger of Gothic Lolita.txt (2/2)

...name.

Oh. Oh. The name... uh, black, right? The girl's name in black brings to mind Noir... but not to use it as is. Okay, I've decided.

How about Noah?

”....Noah. I like it.

I'm glad you like it.

”...nii. It's good to see you.

Yuck! He blitzed me in the heart!

We have a rival for the love fire.

'What?　I can't lose!　I'm brother Takuto's best sister!

What I'm saying is... phew. It's all right. You got caught flat-footed. We're good.

Now, let's check Noah's status.

Name: Noah, Dragon Newt, Lv 1.

Life force 10

Magical power 22

Strength 5

Defensive Force 5

Agility 14

Dexterity value 25

skill

Shadow Manipulation Lv 1 Shadow Detection Lv 1 Shadow Movement Lv 1 Shadow Lurking Lv 1 Covert Lv 1 Mimicry Lv 1 Night Eyes Lv 1

That brings the number of summons I can summon to seven. Then comes the info.

'You have signed a contract with the 3 attribute Dragon Newt. I have obtained the title 'Dragon Newt Summoner'.

Another title. Let's check it out.

Title ”Dragon Newt Summoner

Effect: Increases the ability of the contracted Drago Newt (Medium).

A title that can be earned by signing a contract with Drago Newt of the three attributes.

I don't know how much of an ability boost this is, right? Well, if it makes you stronger, you're welcome.

Now, Noah, but he doesn't have any weapon skills. Maybe that's why, unlike Lily and the others, there are many skills that I don't know about.

'You don't seem to have any weapon skills, how do you fight?

Do you...

Noah's shadow changes shape and shifts when Noah holds out his hand that doesn't come out of his gothic clothes and moves in a transformative way. Funny! It can become a shadow spear, a sword, or even a shield. This certainly doesn't need a weapon.

However, I can only control my own shadow, and the range I can extend depends on the area of my shadow.

Is it only possible to fight in close quarters now?

Next, shadow detection is like a skill that detects the number of enemies in the shadows. And if you ask him to do the shadow movement, Noah suddenly disappears. Huh? Where is it?

...here.

”Oh, my God!

Noah is peeking out of my shadow. I freaked out.

”...prank, successful.

Is Noah a prankster for being so quiet?

But I think this skill is super useful. Let's ask for details.

'Can this skill move anywhere in the shadows?

I can't... Just Nii and Noah's shadow.

That's not so convenient.

'Can I move into Noah's shadow too?

...if Noah can get him there.

Well, it's Noah's skill, so that's what it is.

By the way, how long are you going to be in my shadow?

”...I'm not going to stop. I'll stay here.

He's going to say he doesn't want to work in the future.

Get out.

Hi.

Oh, he's gone into the shadows. This kid is going to have a hard time.

So I ended up catching him for meat as bait. Apparently he could smell it even from the shadows, and it was funny to see him trying so hard to get his hands out of the shadows.

''...It's not fair.''

'I don't want to be told by someone who runs into the shadows. I mean, is it because of your shadow hiding skills that you ran into the shadows?

Yeah...

Can it hide in other shadows?

I can do it. I want some meat.

Yes, yes, yes. I'll bring it up. We'll have to see the mimicry afterwards.

Then there was black smoke coming out of Nowa, and when the black smoke cleared, there was Ion.

'Why me!'

'Please don't make my skirt flutter!

Mr. Tact, you've been watching too much.

Mr. Tact!

Setia and Ion are pissed at me. I don't blame them for this...

But they look exactly alike. The changes were obvious because he had fox ears and such, but this one looks perfect afterwards, with the only difference being his voice.

In case you're wondering, they say I can't change. He says you can't change if there's a height difference. Safe!

After Noah's ability was confirmed, I summoned a soul with a list summon, but failed. I'm really glad I went to the Deep Red Wilderness yesterday.

Noah is clearly an assassin, spy type. Or rather, I feel like he's more of a ninja than a fire shadow and his friends.

I'll need to do some prep work, but thanks to Inari God's information and Nowa's help, I've got a plan to break through to the goblins.

I'm going to give them hell.
