Chapter 122: Food plants and dangerous abnormal condition
Chapter 122: Food plants and dangerous abnormal condition
The next day, after school, I immediately logged into the game.
I immediately summoned Gale and the others, apologized for yesterday's incident and thanked them. They were all very forgiving. I'm lucky to have such good people in my life.
As I was cooking the food to thank them, Lily and the others started talking to me.
"Takuto also fails"
"Of course he does. Who doesn't fail?"
"You were almost hit by a stingray's tail"
"Well...now that I think about it, I feel like I've been making a lot of mistakes lately"
Maybe I'm too relaxed. I need to be more tense.
"I think Takuto-sama who fails is also wonderful, right?"
"I, I think so too!"
Setia and Koihi. That's not a compliment.
I asked Lily and the others to work on Loco Moco and Airy production, while I finished the honey dish. When I called Hephaestus, he proudly brought out one of his large swords. No way, it's done!
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I've finally finished the iron large sword!"
"Lily's new weapon!?"
"Yes. That's right"
Let's appraise it immediately.
Liebling Large Sword: Rarity 4 Large Sword Quality E
Weight: 40 Durability: 50 Attack Power: 30
A large sword made of iron. The weight of the weapon is a bottleneck, but it is a very powerful weapon when mastered.
The emblem of the clan Liebling is burned into the sword's brim.
Wh, What~!? When I looked at the brim, I was sure to find the emblem of Liebling.
"...How could you put this in?"
"It's a surprise. Are you surprised?"
"Yeah, I was completely taken aback"
Damn, I'm so happy! But I'm really starting to feel like a mess lately.
I can't just deny it.
"Lily, here's your new sword"
"Yeah! Thank you! Takuto! Hephaestus!"
She was down in the dumps when the werewolf's large sword broke. Hephaestus got her out at the right time.
I'm glad to see Lily is happy, but let's not wield swords all over the store.
Afterwards, we all ate dinner together and it looked delicious. And my cooking skill leveled up after a while. No, it's very delicate to go up here.
After the meal, I did some training as well as exercise. Today's opponent was Ion. As I said before, I'm going to train mainly in close combat. After all, Ion is a quick learner. She anticipates my movements and aims to parry with her sword or attack me. However, she's still a bit naive...if her predictions are wrong, she'll just go on the defensive. I guess she still needs to train more.
After that, we went to the Beastmasters Guild to summon. This time, I'm summoning for the synthetic summon.
So I successfully summoned Snake first, then Lion.
I named them like this,
Name Route Snake Lv1
Vitality 16
Magic Power 2
Strength 10
Defense 6
Agility 8
Dexterity 8
Skills
Bite Lv1
Coiling Lv1
Poison Lv1
Heat Detection Lv1
Name Rex Lion Lv1
Vitality 8
Magic Power 6
Strength 12
Defense 8
Agility 8
Dexterity 6
Skills
Bite Lv1
Claw Strike Lv1
Intimidation Lv1
Night Vision Lv1
Now the number of summoned beasts I can summon is 8.
Route means way, but it may be the first synthetic monster and if it becomes a wyvern as intended, it may be a summoned beast that opens the way for the evolution of dragon, so I chose this name.
Rex means king in Latin. I was conscious of a name that would be appropriate for both a lion and a griffon.
The reason I was able to name it so easily was because I was thinking about it in school. I think I'm getting to a point where I really can't help myself.
Today we're going to raise the level of those two and we're going to go to Trent Forest. The reason is this email I received from Mew-san.
The wool robe is completed! I'll give it to you tomorrow night. Thank you for the wood!
It was an unexpected request for wood. But then I remembered that I hadn't actually completed the Trent quest yet, so I guess I'll go kill Trents. Besides, there are some monsters I haven't met yet and I want to collect honey from Honey Bees. Depending on how much I have, I'd like to open a store.
So the first members will be Setia, Gale, Liqueur, Route and Rex. Route is on my neck...are all snakes like this? That King Cobra is absolutely impossible. I'm pretty sure I'd be crushed.
Only Gray Wolf appeared as a monster on the road. Preempt with Setias magic and Liqueurs rush. Gale kills the survivors.
The two new guys leveled up and we went straight to the forest. Here, I summoned Koihi instead of Liqueur. Now let's go explore the forest.
The first thing we encountered were the same goblins as before. Since we're here, let's try a new spell.
"Bottomless Swamp!"
The goblins were sinking into the swamp that had suddenly formed. Then Setia's bow and Gale's lightning rained down on them without mercy, wiping them out.
Yeah. It was so easy to defeat them. Thanks to the new magic.
While I was looking for the cypress, Setia was attacked by something.
"Kyaa!?"
Looking back at Setia's sudden scream, Setia was caught by a vine and turned upside down.
"Wait!? Wh, What are you looking at! Takuto-sama!"
Setia has a red face and holds her skirt...it's surprising to see her like this. I can't see it. I'm not guilty.
When I try to help with magic, Setia is taken somewhere. Looking in the direction of being taken, there was a tubular plant. Identify.
Sarracenia Lv9
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
Is this a Sarracenia? Isn't it big? It's bigger than me...
But in the meantime, Setia is being taken away.
"Takuto-sama! Wh, What are you doing! Ah"
The leaf at the entrance raises and it opens its spiky mouth. It's not good. That's not good.
I was about to go help her, but before I could, Koihi moved.
"Setia-oneechan! Haaa! Fox Fire, Flash!"
Sarracenia was cut in half, engulfed in fire and knocked down by the explosion of Koihi's special move.
Just when I thought it was brilliant, a sparkling light fell on Koihi. What? It's not supposed to be evolution...
"M, My butt...it hurts...but it saved my life. Thanks Koihi...Koihi?"
When Setia, who had fallen and hit her butt, thanked Koihi, Koihi didn't respond. What's wrong?
Koihi looks toward Setia. Thank God...she looks okay
"Setia-oneechan...I love you!"
"Eh!? Why all of a sudden!? Kya!?"
Koihi suddenly confesses, pushes down Setia and jumps on her. The suddenness of the situation stops me from thinking.
"Haa...haa...Setia...oneecha~n...rub rub~"
"K, Koihi...I'm glad you feel that way, but can you please step aside for now?"
"I don't want to"
Calm down...I'm dealing with an elementary school student...these days elementary school students...that...what is it? Maybe this is the kind of skinship they have.
When I thought about this and became calm, I noticed that Koihi was in a mysterious abnormal condition. Could this be...from the glitter earlier?
Then I saw the glitter in my vision. Not good!?
I backstep away and look up to see the culprit. I identify it.
Butterfly Lv5
Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active
The butterfly runs away, probably because it's been noticed. I can't let it get away!
"Thunder Branch!"
My Thunder Branch hits it directly. It was paralyzed and fell. I got it!
"Rave Road!
Light gathers on the butterfly and it explodes. That's where I leveled up. If you're not careful until the info comes, you're screwed. I use clear on Koihi and Koihi returns to normal.
"...Haa!? I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
She seems to have a memory and apologizes to Setia like crazy.
In case you're wondering, I'm sitting on the floor at Setia's command. She is very upset.
"Why didn't you help me?"
"No, I tried to help you, but..."
"You could have moved like Koihi!"
"I was about to go insane, too. What could I do?"
"Why doesn't Takuto-sama get into an abnormal condition?"
That's just too much. The identity of the mysterious condition is charm. It seems to be an abnormal condition that automatically interferes with allies.
If I were to get this condition, who would I be interfering with? I think the most likely one is Route around my neck. The sight of rubbing against a viper is...not good. I'd rather not.
But this fascination is dangerous in many ways. If a player were to become like that, I feel like it would destroy relationships. No, the security system is supposed to block any contact with the opposite sex, but even so, it's going to destroy relationships...
At any rate, I got Setia to forgive me by promising to summon a butterfly, to put me in a state of fascination and to keep it a secret from Lily and Ion. I don't know what she's thinking.

Author note:
I would like to add something about fascination. Of course, excessive touching between members of the opposite sex will not occur. It is a conditional abnormality that has a probability of interfering with an ally. It's an unpleasant abnormality that can interfere with players who are trying to move forward, grab their clothes, or shake them while they're chanting to make them cancel it.
In Koihis case, the fact that Setia was nearby was also a problem and it felt like she was interfering with Setia of the same sex with her flirting behavior.
