Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Back in Liebling, I´m pursued by Setia. However, the content is secret because it is embarrassing.

Then Mel and the others were in Liebling.

"Ah! Nii-chan!"

"It's so unusual. I can't believe you're back at this hour"

"...What are you doing here? Nii-sama?"

"I just came from conquering the Mangrove Forest and making a grimoire"

Then, Rekka's head was in her hands.

"Why would you make a grimoire before a mage..."

"It's all in the prep work"

"What happened to all that paper and stuff? They don't sell paper, do they?"

"I made pulp from sugar cane and used a paper machine"

I tried to explain, but it didn't seem to make sense to Rekka. I didn't know the details either. Incidentally, Rekka asked me to sell it to her, but I rejected the offer because I spent quite a bit.

Then she asked to see the grimoire and I showed it to her.

"Oh~! It floats! ...Ya!"

Risa jumped at me, so I moved it upward to avoid her.

"Mu! Yaa! Taa! Daa! You're mean, Nii-chan!"

I tease Risa and she gets mad at me. Then Lily comes.

"Takuto! Lily wants to play too!"

"I'm not playing with you!?"

It's peaceful. Then the conversation turns to the info mentioned earlier.

"It seems to be a troublesome event. If you haven't seen it yet, let's talk about it after you see it"

So I checked the contents.

Admin Event 『Island Theft Battle』: Difficulty A+

・ This event is for 500 players. Members can declare their membership in advance. Member application period is until Sunday. If there are no applications, members will be chosen at random.

・ Players will be placed on the first island and will have to conquer the five islands ruled by Demon King Bael.

・ Points are shared by all participating players. Please note that players who do not log in during the event will not receive any points.

・ The experience points will only be applied to the players who have fought in the battle.

・ Only an 8 hours log-in ban will be imposed. Please note that no points will be deducted and no items will be lost, but you will not receive any experience from the battle.

・ When a boss appears, monsters will appear and come to defend the island and capture the player's island. If a monster takes over an island that has been conquered, the boss will be resurrected and the island will belong to the monsters. The number of monsters on the island where the boss is located will increase over time.

・ If the starting island is taken over by a monster, the player loses the game.

・ The event will last for 9 days.

・ If 100 members gather, they will be able to go to the first island before the event.

・ The members can bring their own items to the island.

・ Shipbuilding events will be held at various locations along with the event.

・ Special effects will occur with certain weapons and armor.

It sure sounds nasty.

"Have you read it?"

"Yes"

Rekka explains it again.

"In a nutshell, it's a game of capture-the-country. You go from island to island, until you reach the last island and conquer it, then you win"

"The difference between this game and a normal game is that you have to use a ship. It may be advantageous for you to have Surfi"

"I know, right? I'm not sure if it's another event that favors summoners or not"

Keigo says so, but will it really be so?

"...Nii-sama doesn't seem to think that the summoners have an advantage~"

"Is it bothering you that they're recommending ships?"

"You know very well...I rather think the role of the summoners and the beastmasters is to escort the ships. As far as I know, summoners and beastmasters are the ones who can handle underwater battles"

I'm actually escorting Shallow-san and the others. And the ship can be destroyed, so that's what the enemy will be after. If we lose the ship, we lose our means of transportation. Yug-san, you will be very active. Oh, by the way, Ruin-san´s group is not here.

"Ruin-san has her own real-life commitments, so she won't be around all the time"

That's true.

"But there are so many people this time"

"I'm sure Ruin-san's office is flooded with emails right now. I think it's going to be very important to choose the right members"

"If we're fighting on a ship, do you think mages and archers will have an advantage?"

"I think so. The boss battle is going to be fought on an island, so that doesn't mean we can't play an active role"

I guess so. The other two points are the first island and the shipbuilding event. The fact that it's mentioned in the game's manual means that it will probably work to our advantage in some way.

"And we can bring in items for the first time, right?"

Is that possible...I don't think that's the only reason.

"I think it's because there are items that benefit the event...but that's not it...maybe"

"There's a limit to how much inventory you can have. I think it's going to be important who brings what and how much"

I have to think not only about the members but also about the items they bring...it's a lot of work.

"What do you have in mind for the members, Nii-chan?"

"I think it will be basically 400 for combat and 100 for production, but I think there is a possibility of splitting it fifty-fifty"

"That's a bit harsh..."

I think it's true that it may be an overstatement, but that's how important I think the production jobs are for this event.

"If this is a full-fledged game of nation-building, it will be important to secure supply lines. And moreover, there is a fullness factor in this game"

"If you cut off the supply line, you lose your fullness level and the monsters will just get you..."

"But then, isn't it even more important to have a combatant to protect you?"

Keigo is right...it's tough with the defense of the base. This is a big problem. In the end, after discussions with Mel and the others, it was decided that it would be important to decide on the roles of each person in this event. We don't know what it's going to be like yet.

Now, I'm going to test my grimoire at the underground training center. Mel and the others are there to observe.

I float the grimoire and give it the magic instructions. I'm going to use "Blitz" for now.

『Blitz』

A magic circle is drawn on the grimoire and Blitz is released. It really works without voice, doesn't it? I try chanting at the same time. Two magic circles appear.

『Blitz』

『Sonic Boom』

Oh! Two really appear at the same time! Can you do this?

『『Blitz』』

『『Sonic Boom』』

Continuous chanting is no problem. Delay magic is also possible.

I took out my scarlet ring and imagined a battle. I shake the scarlet ring and finally the grimoire releases a blitz and it's over. I'm scared...the scarlet ring's chanting break is also effective. Hmmm...feels obvious...ok!

I tried waving the scarlet ring and attacking with the grimoire, but I wasn't convinced. It's still difficult...I can't help but feel that my gaze is moving when I attack with the grimoire. It's as if I'm telling it that an attack is coming from the grimoire. I want to do something about it.

"Takuto that fellow...he's tilting his head with that thing"

"...Nii-sama is very idealistic and surprisingly particular about his work"

"That's why he got so absorbed in his part-time job"

I feel like Mel and the others are giving me a strange evaluation...it can't be helped. Let's find time to train secretly.

After that, I thought about planting a water tree, but Mir stopped me.

"If you want to plant a water tree, you need to buy new land and turn it into a pond or lake. You can manage the water to some extent, but there is a limit"

"Umm...if we were to build a lake, would it be possible to create a canal from it and channel it to the fields?"

"That sounds like a great idea! The vegetables and trees will be very happy to have water from a water tree"

It seems to save us the trouble of watering the trees, so we have to give it a try.

"What's all this talk about agrarian reform? Takuto"

"I'm sure it's going to be rough..."

"I'm going to tell Takuto-kun to talk to Ruin.san and Yuuna-san about it...he's going to run off on his own if he doesn't"

"Am I the only one who thinks that Takuto has long since run amok?"

The answer was that everyone was silenced by Rekka's words.
