'Oh. I suppose the condition would be a composite summons.

'Maybe so. A place for us to express our feelings to the Master, I guess?

Hiyori told me that, and I spoke again.

''You two don't like the synthetic summons, do you?''

'I don't want to, because I'm going to die. I don't want to die, but I want to continue my adventures with the Masters. But the masters have worked hard on me. He believed in my evolutionary potential as a chick and I was unable to do anything about it. Even when I got in his head, he forgave me... I want to be able to help such a strong and kind master. If you need a synthetic summons for that, I'll take it.'

Hiyori...I don't know if I ever thought about that...I remember Hiyori and all the adventures I've had. At first she was a chick, always riding on my head and flapping her wings as hard as she could.

When I became a Hawk, I was helped a lot by the enemies in the sky and backup from the sky. Fighting strong enemies like Wolfman, Wood Golem and Astaroth.

Then you were saved from the Thiefkud raids. Hiyori has been a great help to me. I'd say we're buddies in arms.

''The same goes for me. I knew I was going to have to do a synthetic summoning. And I know the Lord is suffering from it. The Lord let me fight with him as I evolved. It is my pride that I fought with the Lord against Astaroth. If I can stand in the role of the Lord any more than I do now, I desire it.

Lex...you've noticed my complacency, too.

I didn't have a long relationship with Lex. Still, I can only thank Lex for stalling Astaroth's daemons, and for continuing to fight Astaroth to the end.

'I'm glad I got to talk to you two. I would have liked to talk to Monsiro and Tsukimu too if I could.

I knew the master would say that.

”Oh. Sunflower. Take care of the Lord. My strength is committed to you.

'I've taken on the task. I hereby swear to be of help to the Lord for Lex's part.

”You promised me.　Then, my Lord. A composite summons.

Oh, I'm proud of the adventures we had together. I promise I'll never forget it.

They laugh.

”'Our souls, forever with our master.'

Composite summoning!

The two of them become magic stones and return to the synthetic summoning room. The two magic stones are then sucked into the magic circle, and the magic circles overlap, creating a new magic circle.

Then a tornado arises from the new magic circle, and a new summoning beast appears. A legendary creature with the upper body of a hawk with wings and the lower body of a lion. A griffon was born. However, they are not normal gryphons, apparently.

The Lesser Gryphon...the juvenile body of a phantom beast called the Eagle Lion. Even though it is a child, it flaps its wings and flies through the sky, just like the king of birds and beasts. It can be mounted and soars through the battlefield with its master summoner.

Let's pick a name right away. Hiyori and Lex, so we'll each take a name...

Your name is Hicks!

Beep!

The Lesser Gryphon gives a heroic cry.

This brings the number of summoned beasts I can summon to five.

Hicks is 3 to 4 meters long. Its wings are probably 6 meters long. Overall, he is strong, but the most notable skill is his riding skill. According to the description, it seems that you can fly on Hicks.

So I buy the equipment and ride Hicks. It's the same equipment as Ricule and his friends, but it's a Lesser Gryphon, so of course it's expensive, but it's a necessary expense.

Well then, let's call it my first adventure in the sky! When I give the signal, I flap my wings and the giant body soars into the sky.

Wow! I can see the Freetia in plain sight! Oh, I can see Leaprich. But I feel like it's no good flying around the country's skies, so I head for the field sky.

It's a nice breeze. And then there's the hicks, which, as I've described it, is close to the feeling of running in the sky. There's something about this that I can't get enough of.

While I'm enjoying my sky walk, a black shadow is heading this way. Come to think of it, there's a crow in the sky of Freetia. Then let's go with the debut battle in the sky and Hix's first battle.

''First battle!　Let's go!　Hicks!

Beep!

Hicks accelerated and attacked the crows with a whirlwind. With a single blow, the crows crashed down.

And I thought I was going to die too. I thought they were used to accelerating with liqueurs, but their speed was completely different. I thought the wind pressure on my body would tear me apart.

If you look at their life force, it's decreasing... and it looks like they have equipment for aerial combat. Come to think of it, what happens when you fly high?

As a result, I felt like I had climbing disease and my vitality was reduced again. It's not safe to do any more, so I go back to Fretia.

I return safely from my walk in the sky and tell Hix again.

It's good to see you. Hicks.

Bleep.

When I say that, he rubs his face against mine. I stroke Hix while feeling the face of Hiyori and Lex in his appearance.

After that, I went back to the Beast Demon Guild to summon the magic stone.
