02EX – From the bottom up to becoming a warrior in a different world

02-18-Summoner- Toru Fujima

The jewel seemed to shimmer more dazzlingly in my hands as I took in the blue glow of the perched jade pavilion, Room 201.

“Kobold’s will”

With this, I can use summoned monsters.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting”

Kinn...

I had the feeling that he was responding to my words.

“I’ll make you mine.”

Kinn…

The rays of light that shoot out from the gaps between my clenched fingers as if rushing me to hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!. I pressed my clenched fist against my chest and it melted into my heart.

“Ah ... I wonder. I really understand. I’ve become a summoner.”

I can’t see it, I can’t hear anything. But I understand.

I put my palms together on my chest again and muttered to myself.

“I’m here. Here .... Kobotaro.”

“Yeah, that’s good, Fujima-kun .... I’m so happy, and I’m tearing up again ........... Fujima-kun, what did you say now !?”

“... What?”

“Kobotaro!  You said “Kobo-taro”　Couldn’t you have come up with a better name?”

“Oh, hey, Yamashimiko. If you say anything bad about Kobo-taro, I won’t forgive you.”

“No, no, it’s Fujima’s naming sense that’s to blame!　I mean, what’s with all the love already!”

“Cheap. But if that’s okay with Toru, I think it’s fine. Summoned monsters become stronger when they are given a name. I heard that somewhere.”

“No, I don’t know. But I’ve always wanted to name him Kobotaro. I’m so happy.”

“Do you know how to summon”

“Somehow. When I put Kobotaro in my chest, various things flowed in.”

The information flowed in with the realization that I had become a summoner.

I was able to view  Kobotaro’s status without the status monolith.

In front of me, Ashima and Lydia look into the window that appears in the void.

“Fujima-kun, you really became a summoner ...”

“Congratulations Toru”

I hadn’t actually summoned it yet, but the heat that lit up in my chest made me realize that I had become a summoner.

“Thank you, Ashima, Lydia. I said I was going to get this guy on my own, but what the heck, I couldn’t do it alone.”

The 11 silvers I got by skimming my living expenses was money that came about because of the cooperation between me and Ashima and the deal Lydia made with me.

Incidentally, the material of the bottle used for the medicinal bath is Orpheus sand. The sand of Orpheus is mixed with the sweat of Kedoin, Akari, and Takagi.

So I didn’t get it on my own.

...... and yet somehow I was proud of it.

_____

I wanted to summon Kobotaro and go out of town, but Ashima and Lydia stopped me, saying it was too dangerous to go out at night. Damn!.

They’re still insanely overprotective, probably because I died twice in one day. In fact, they are very wary of me.

“Toru, show your status”

“Hmm, what’s the rush?”

“I want to see”

It was abrupt, and I don’t think it was even a conversation, but I touched the status monolith because it wasn’t something I was hiding.

There are more skills than the last time I checked, but the fact that all but the escape are skills for collecting makes me weep.

By the way, the washed common shirt and common pants are hung by the window by the hands of Ashima.

“Toru, be careful with your MP.”

“Hmm, MP?”

“The MP required to summon Kobotaro is 9, while Toru’s MP is 10. Once summoned, Toru’s MP is almost gone. Suddenly running out of MP is dangerous. You could wobble and die, as you did just now.”

Earlier I ran out of SP and died. It seems the same can be said for MP.

What happens when you run 9 out of 10 power in an instant? ...... Well, you might not be able to stay normal and healthy.

Humans have the power to recover naturally. The power to heal a cold or to close a wound.

When MP runs out or is insufficient, MP will slowly recover if there is an abundance of healthy power ...... HP and SP.

“If you are exhausted from collecting and you summon them with no SP, both SP and MP will be depleted. If this happens, the only resource for recovery is HP. It is very dangerous.”

Even I know what it’s like to die when you run out of HP.

“But what do you do to be careful?”

“For example, instead of summoning a monster in a hurry when it appears, summon it in advance and rest for 20 minutes. After your MP has recovered to a certain extent,  go out to collect then.”

“That means that if a monster shows up at the critical moment, then kobotaro could disappear over time.”

“That’s up to Toru. Toru can summon for 110 minutes thanks to [Olympus LV1], so you can take a 20-minute break, complete the collection in 90 minutes, and return home.”

“Ah ... I see.”

Yes, you can come back in 90 minutes. An hour and a half is roughly the usual time for one collection. It’s not that hard. Besides, by the time I returned from the pickup, my MP was full with automatic recovery...

“One more thing about MP. While using a summoned monster, it consumes a little bit of MP, which is called “summoning fatigue. If you are resting, you should recover more MP, but in Toru’s case, if you are not doing anything, you may consume the same amount of MP as you recover. If you consume SP by gathering, your body will try to recover SP, and MP may decrease.”

“Eh ... Seriously? Does that mean I have to take a break after each collection?”

“Especially at the beginning. Everyone does. It’s just that Toru works too much.”

I am told again that I work too much, and I chuckle at the difference from reality.

“But maybe that’s only the first time. After a month, the level will rise, and if the MP increases, the consumption rate will decrease, so it will be easier. If you continue to summon, you will be able to learn [MP] skills. It will be easier if you acquire skills such as [MP Saving], [Summon MP Saving], and [Summon Fatigue Reduction]. “

“That’s disappointing...”

One month ...

I thought as long as I could get my hands on a summoned monster, I could make it work.

“Do not think that you can fight without thinking. When you are facing a minor Kobold, don’t think that you can beat it just because you’re with Kobotaro. The opponent is at full strength. Kobotaro fights while protecting Toru, who is unsteady in the back. That’s what I mean.”

Ah…….

Really.

That’s true.

The summoned monster would be unsummoned when I died. Then it’s no good if I die.

“You’re right, ....... I guess I’ve been a little over the top since I became a summoner. I’m going to use summoning magic for a while, then take a break and go out to collect when my MP has calmed down. Then I’ll save up and buy some skills. Leveling up and defeating monsters will come later.”

“Yes, you understand.”

“Fujima, you are always reckless. ...... Don’t take Kobo-taro and run into a crowd of monsters. ......?”

Lydia and Ashima breath a sigh of relief.

It seems that such a day is still far away when more than a thousand summoned monsters take control of the world .......

“Toru, don’t rush. You should take a good rest today and summon him tomorrow morning.”

……but.

I’ve been fighting so hard.

“Summon ── Kobo Taro”

“~Tsu……”

“I’m always worried about it ... But I’m glad you understood ... What are you doing, Fujima-kun?!?”

Lydia’s gasp.

Ashima’s scream.

The moment I got Kobotaro, the summoning method entered my mind.

When I lightly attached the tip of the common wand to the wooden floor, a magic circle with a radius of about 1 meter appeared in response to my words.

This is ── summoning magic.

The magic circle moved forward from my feet and stopped completely away from my toes.

Blue light overflowing from the magic circle.

“Too bright. ......!?”

Ashima covers her eyes with her hands.

It is indeed dazzling.

It’s true, isn’t it?

I’m sure you’ve been wanting to meet me just as I’ve been wanting to meet you.

So dazzlingly shining ......!

“Guruu ......”

When the light disappeared, the figure was finally revealed.

A spear lying horizontally towards me.

Rags and tatters worn up and down.

A hairy body kneeling before me.

A dog’s head. Drooping dog ears wagging.

“Kobo-taro!”

“Gaah!”

There was Kobotaro, with eyes much duller than those of the minor kobolds I had fought, kneeling reverently.
