Laudette-san shared information about the 『Summoning』 skill that I already knew.
…Well, it would be strange to complain about that. Laudette-san told me all this with good intentions. It would be rude to complain just because I already knew.
In the first place, explaining skills is probably not even part of a nun’s job. So, well, it cannot be helped. It really cannot be helped.
「By the way, Alec-san, can you already summon something? Like monsters, items, or equipment」
「Items…? Huh, you can summon those too!?」
「That does happen sometimess」
Really!? I did not know that! That is new information! Brand-new info!
「You really are amazing, Laudette-san…!」
「Huh? Ah, thank you very muchh」
No no, truly impressive. As expected of Laudette-san.
I almost jumped to conclusions. I was this close to doubting Laudette-san’s ability to explain things. I should reflect on that.
「I see, so that is also possible… Ah, in my case, it is monsters. I can summon monsters」
「Monsterss, huh」
「Yes. For now… only monsters」
I have no intention of telling anyone that Mikoto-san is a summoned creature. To others, she will just be treated as Yggdrasil-san’s friend.
Being able to summon a mysterious beautiful woman would just be confusing anyway……
「Can you summon one right now? I have heard that if it dies, you cannot summon it again for a while」
「Huh? Ah, well, I can summon it, but… is that so? Even if it dies, it can come back?」
「Apparently soo. If it dies, or if an item gets damaged, you cannot summon it for a full day. But after one day passes, you can summon it again」
「I see…」
That is also new information……
「As expected of you, Laudette-san…」
「Thank you very muchh」
I see, so I just have to wait one day.
Basically, it is that thing. A death penalty. A twenty-four-hour summoning lock as a penalty.
Man, I am really glad I came today. Thanks to Laudette-san, I learned a lot.
「So then, would you mind showing mee?」
「Sure, I do not mind… but is that really okay? It is a monster, you know」
「It is fine. Please go aheadd」
「I see. Then I will summon it now. 『Summon: Giant Rat』」
Since Laudette-san said it was fine, I summoned Friedrich-kun. It had been about a week since the last time.
「Kii」
「Oh. So this is what it is like. A giant rat, huh」
「Yes, a giant rat. His name is Hezrat Momo Ratatoskr Trawistia Friedrich Weinstein II」
「……what?」
…Well, that reaction makes sense. Anyone would respond like that after hearing a name that sounds like a spell.
「That is the giant rat’s name」
「That is very long……」
「Well, when I showed him to other people, everyone wanted to give him a name……」
「Oh really. Then may I give him one too?」
「Huh? Ah, sure…… Friedrich-kun will be happy… probably」
「Kii」
「He says 『I would be delighted』」
As expected of Friedrich-kun. He is a very considerate giant rat.
「Alright then. I choose 『Apple』」
「Apple?」
「I just ate one」
「…I see」
That is a pretty casual naming choice…… Well, it is fine.
「So Apple gets added to that long name?」
「Yes. Then his new name will be 『Hezrat Apple Momo Ratatoskr Trawistia Friedrich Weinstein II』」
Somehow, there are now two fruits growing inside his name.
「Kii」
「He says 『Thank you for the wonderful name』」
「Is that soo. I am glad Apple-chan is happyy」
As expected of Friedrich-kun. He is very sociable.
…Still, everyone really does call him whatever they want.
「By the way, there is something I would like to ask you, Laudette-san」
「What is it?」
「Well, how should I put this… I realized one day that I could summon Friedrich-kun, but how do you increase the number of summoned creatures or summoned items?」
If I can summon various things, I want to try it.
I want more summoned creatures, and I want to try item summoning too. Being able to instantly equip weapons or armor would feel pretty cool.
So I asked Laudette-san that question, and at that moment, I felt Friedrich-kun start to fidget just a little.
It seems he got worried that I might be dissatisfied with him and abandon him.
Fufufu…… what a cute little fellow.
「No, it is not that I am dissatisfied with Friedrich-kun. I was just a bit curious」
「Let’s see. How to increase summoned creatures, huh. It seems there is no strict rule for that」
「Is that so?」
「For example, Apple-chan here is a giant rat, right. How do you think, Alec-san, one becomes able to contract a giant rat as a summoned creature?」
「Hm?」
I got asked a question in return. How do you make a giant rat into a summoned creature?
If I think about it normally, it would be something like getting along with it or asking nicely, but it is a monster.
Raising affection with an ordinary giant rat that is a monster would probably be difficult.
In that case…
「Do you fight them?」
「That seems to be one way. If you fight giant rats many times, learn a lot about them, or eat a lot of them, you apparently become able to summon them as summoned creatures」
「I see……」
So eating a lot of them can also make them summoned creatures…… I do not really understand how that works.
Hmm. Maybe it is similar to skills?
With skills, you can learn them through training or gaining knowledge. Maybe it is similar, like if you become knowledgeable enough, you learn the summoned creature.
「Compatibility also seems to be importantt」
「I see. Compatibility」
That really is similar to skills. I have heard that depending on your compatibility or talent, there are skills you cannot acquire.
Which means… I must have been compatible with giant rats.
「If Alec-san has good compatibility with monsters other than giant rats, you might be able to make them summoned creatures too」
「Hmm……」
Monsters I am compatible with……
I do not know why, but I can only imagine a future where walking mushrooms become my summoned creatures.
