Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Log in to the game after finishing my lunch in reality. I repaired Lily's and Ion's weapons with my alchemy skill and struggled with the pile of boar meat in the cooking area below. When I was done, I had a little time to spare and decided to head to Crow-san's store.

"You're here. I'm impressed you're a little earlier than usual"

"Huh? Is Crow-san not here yet?"

At the meeting place, all the female producers were there except for Crow-san.

"He's a last-minute guy, so it'll take him a little longer to get here. Good grief......I can't wait to get there"

"Time is finite, you know. But if you have the time, it's just as well. There's something I want you to see"

When I said that, the eyes of the women lit up. Mew-san asked me on behalf of the group.

"New material!?"

"I don't know if it's new or not"

I take out spider thread, caterpillar thread and bee stinger and Mew-san examines them.

"It's a thread. Unfortunately, it's not new material. Someone brought it here yesterday and today"

Oh? It's a shame......but Yug-san picks up the bee stinger.

"But I've never seen this bee stinger before. It looks like it could be used for a bow and arrow, maybe a poison weapon? What do you think? Sister Ruin"

"I agree with you. Weapons with abnormal conditions are valuable nowadays and I think bows and arrows will be even more popular. Did you get this material in the Young Tree Forest?"

"Yes, I did. It dropped when I killed a bee monster called Bee"

When I said that, Yuuna said with a gloomy face.

"I'm not good with bees"

"I don't think there are many people who are good with them"

Haru encourages her. I'm not very good with them either. Because if I get stung, I'll be in trouble. But I can't be afraid of them.

"I don't like bees either, but I did get some honey"

""Honey!?""

Yuuna and Haru's gloomy feelings were blown away by my words. That's right. The existence of sweet things in the current situation is a big deal for girls.

"Before we go to the forest, can I ask you to tell me some things?"

"Sure"

I give them information about the monsters that appear and the results of dismantling them. Then Ruin-san has a question.

"How do you get information on monsters you haven't seen yet?"

"I found a book about it in the library"

"I didn't know there was a library in......this town"

"It was written on the bulletin board. That's the story. I read on the board that you can't read and you have to take reading skill. It said it was a shit specification"

Oh. Maybe they don't know about the skill scroll?

"You can get a skill scroll for the reading skill at the counter"

Everyone was surprised when I said that. And then Ruin-san muttered.

"It's my fault for not checking at the counter. ......If I had listened to them, I would have gotten the reading skill for free"

It's funny to see you bragging about spending your precious skill points"

It will certainly look that way. Ion then asks.

"Takuto-san, who are these people?"

With the exception of Ruin-san, the other three were new to Ion.

"The people I'm indebted to. By the way, I haven't introduced Ion to them yet. Ion"

"I'm Ion. It's nice to meet you"

Yes, yes. It's great that she can greet people properly.

"I was curious"

"It's a girl again. And a different type"

"So cute"

When the crafters had finished introducing themselves, Crow-san arrived.

""""Late""""

"I'm not late, am I!?"

Certainly not late. It was really last minute. By the way, Crow-san also came, so the chat was interrupted and we headed to the field. And when I summon my summoned beasts, they are surprised.

"I've heard about it, but it's amazing to see it in person"

"It's just like the owl from Ha○! It's so cute!"

"Can I touch Kotetsu-chan?"

"Ah, I want to touch it too"

I checked with Kotetsu and he said it's okay.

"It's okay. I think Lily will be fine in the beginning meadow"

"If that's the case, let's form a legion at the entrance to the Young Tree Forest"

Oh, there's a word I don't know.

"What's a Legion?"

Ruin-san and Crow-san explained to me.

"In this game, it's a system that allows multiple parties to form a single party"

"It's a system that was originally designed for taking on big bosses. Naturally there are advantages and disadvantages"

"The advantage is that there are more players, so it's less dangerous than usual"

I suppose that's true. The disadvantages are experience and items.

"The disadvantage is the dispersion of experience and items, which often causes problems. Especially Summoners are disliked"

Oh. I wonder why?

"If you have a party of only your own summoned beasts, the summoner will monopolize the experience of the whole party, right?"

Ah, so you're saying it's not fair. But the summoned beasts are the ones who get their experience and I only get mine. But then, is it okay with Ruin-san and the others?

"It's our escort this time. We've applied for it ourselves and we know what we're doing, so there's no problem"

"Takuto-kun, you'd better make some decisions before you join a Legion"

"I understand"

"And this can be an advantage or a disadvantage, but it looks like there will be more monsters"

This is definitely both. If you think that you can get more materials and experience, it is an advantage, but if you think that the danger will increase, it is a disadvantage. Later, while we were all moving through the beginning meadow, I told them about the boss.

"Ah, in that case, they´re trying to capture it in earnest by setting up a special thread on the bulletin board"

"The people you saw, Takuto-kun, probably wrote it too. It seems that three parties using Legion were killed instantly"

Terrible. I'm glad I didn't try it.

"By the way, the upper limit of Legion is five parties, but even if you challenge it with the upper limit, you can't beat it"

"It seems to be insanely strong. It seems that there isn't a legion that has reduced one gauge yet"

Is it possible that a party of five can kill it instantly? If so, it's not possible for us, though.

"If we run into it this time, just ignore it, okay?"

"I know. I'm not so incompetent as to jump in knowing that I'm going to die"

I don't want to return to death in pain. I'm not M.

Author note:

This was the episode where I explained about Legion.

Next time, the middle boss of the Young Tree Forest will finally appear. This will probably be the first time I'll be writing about a summoner-like battle. I hope you enjoy it.
