Chapter 38: Wood magic stone and forest guardian
I came to the Beastmaster´s Guild. Lily and Ion are scared, but when I tell them why, they reluctantly follow me. But it seems that Aura-san, who Lily and Ion had been on the lookout for, is not home. When they found out, their reaction was dramatic.
"We are safe! Ion-chan!"
"Yeah!"
It's really rare to see these two happy together. Aura-san, who was the reason for this miraculous scene, is truly a terrifying person.
I've got permission to use the summoning room. The goal this time is to magic stone summon, as I have an earth-based stone that was dropped from Wolfman. If I could turn it into a magic stone and summon it, I might be able to summon a wallflower, but what I was wondering was if I used an earth stone and a water stone to create a magic stone, wouldn't it turn into a wood stone? I was wondering if the earth-based stone and the water-based stone would turn into a wood-based stone. It just so happens that I got both of them in the Young Tree Forest. The earth-based stone seems to be a material that can't be found in the forest and if it can be turned into a wood-based stone, it wouldn't be surprising if I could get it.
It's currently treated as a unique item, but Ruin-san and the others said that there would be a lot of them available soon, so I decided to experiment with it.
Now, using the alchemy skill, I set the earth-based stone and water-based stone. Use magic stone creation. Please! Please make it work!
No, it's a rare item now and I want it to succeed...
The two stones are mixed together and a green stone is born. Success! Yay! I'll appraise it.
Wood Magic Stone: Rarity 2
A magic stone that possesses the wood attribute.
Since it was smelted from a water-based stone and an earth-based stone, the magic power it contains is low.
Hmm, there's probably a difference between making it with two wood-based stones...I guess it's natural. I don't have any wood-based stones, so I don't regret it. And it's been a while since my alchemy skill has leveled up.

Well, the wood magic stone is ready. Then I know what I have to do. It's a magic stone summon. I don't know if this is necessary since I have a full party, but I have quite a few slots left. I haven't made any progress in leveling up lately, so it's probably a good idea to summon some new companions around here.
I made an excuse, but frankly, I'm just curious. Because this is the summoning room.
So, I created four magic stones and summoned!
The four magic stones revolve around the wood magic stone...and are sucked into the magic circle below. Now, Lily's magic circle was filled with blinding light and Ion's magic circle was filled with water particles, but what will happen this time?
A large number of leaves overflowed from the magic circle...and as the leaves rained down, a girl was in the center of the magic circle...eh? Is it again?
But no...no, it's definitely a girl...but her appearance is clearly different from Lily and Ion. Her hair and eyes are emerald green. Her hair style is half-up.
Her clothes were based on the color green. That part was fine. But there was a problem. Her belly button was showing. And a mini-skirt. A word about clothes...elementary school kids shouldn't dress like that! But you can't change a summoner's clothes...and clothes themselves aren't on the market in the first place.
And what's definitely different from Lily and Ion are the ears. She has longer, more pointed ears than Lily's...yes. Even I know of a race of wood-types with long, pointed ears.
The new girl I had summoned was an elf. And here's where the summoning magic levels up.

As I'm checking my status, the elf girl speaks to me.
"Are you the one who summoned me?"
She's very young, but she speaks respectfully...combined with her hair style, she seems like a young lady...yet her clothes are out.
"Ah, I'm Takuto, a summoner"
"Takuto-sama. Then please give me a name"
She calls me sama...umm. I'm not sure what I'd do with an elf name, but I'm sure I'd choose one based on plants, trees and flowers...I look at the elf girl and she tilts her head and looks at me. The gesture made me think of a flower.
"How about Setia?"
The name comes from the famous Christmas flower, the poinsettia. The flower language is 『Blessing』, 『My heart is on fire』, 『Holy wish』 and so on. Incidentally, the language differs depending on the color. If it is pink, it means 『Compassion』 and 『Purity』. If it's white, it should be 『Adored Person』 or 『Pray for your blessing』.
At first glance, it didn't seem to fit this girl, but I had heard that the green leaves of this flower used at Christmas represented 『Eternal life, love』. Elves have an image of longevity in my mind and for some reason the word 『Love』 seemed to fit this girl.
In addition, this flower is poisonous. To be precise, the sap and leaves are poisonous. The lady at the flower shop told me that some people have actually died from eating it. I don't know, but I have a feeling that this girl is not a straightforward one.
"Setia...that's a nice name. I like it. Then please call me Setia from now on. Takuto-sama"
"Ah, please take care of me from now on. Setia"
"Yes. Please leave it to me"
She hugs me while saying that. Out of the blue.
""Mu!""
Lily and Ion were annoyed by that.
"I don't think you should hug him suddenly!"
Lily. Are you saying that?
"That's right. That's enough. Please stay away!"
Ion starts to peel away. Seeing this, Setia smiles wickedly.
"Not good? Takuto-sama"
You're asking me like that here...you know what you're doing. This girl...she's not a straightforward person after all.
"Please don't ask Takuto-san! Not good!"
Ion. You're a good girl.
"Sorry. I have been peeled off"
You don't look sorry at all! I could somehow predict the future relationship between Setia and Ion. Now, what about Setia's status?

Wait a minute...isn't this magic and dexterity value strange for Lv1? And that's a lot of skills. And there's one magic I'm curious about. What is tree magic? And then there's the elven knowledge...that's kind of cool. And while Lily insisted on being a big sister again, Setia easily started calling Lily and Ion big sisters, not to mention Lily's tension went up. Ion also seemed a little happy.
------------------------------
Author note:
The new character is Setia, a little devilish loli lady elf.
She will be the character that teases Ion and annoys Takuto.
Next time, I will show you the strength of Setia. Please look forward to it.
