141-Summon Freesia




 As it was late at night, I went to bed right after that yesterday and spent the next morning organizing Freesia's summons and equipment for the mess.

''I'm sorry for having you gather late at night last night.

Yes, indeed. Well, it's a good thing that Okura-dono didn't go into a rage.

'Yes. I'm surprised your brother didn't go ballistic with that result.

Oh, come on. Why would I be upset about that?

'You were screaming quite a bit for that...'

 This time, thanks to the low consumption of magic stones and the units I was looking for, I was able to keep my cool even after the bombing.
 Well, I'm not the kind of person who goes crazy that easily to begin with!

'But then again, I didn't expect Luna to be up early in the morning.

'We have new friends coming in, it would be rude not to show your face at least at first. Besides, I'm interested in summoning them.

 I thought Luna wouldn't wake up because I woke her up late last night, but she woke up properly early in the morning.
 It's surprising that you're so serious in a place like this when you usually boldly declare that you're skipping out....

''For now, before I get my equipment sorted out, I'll have to summon Freesia first.

Are you sure about the cost?

'Yeah, the summoning cost is 15, so it doesn't matter.

'Oh, well, then you didn't have to level up.

'Well, yeah. But it will continue to be important to secure costs, so we'll just consider ourselves ahead of you.

 Freesia's cost was 15, so there was no need to level up.
 But it only happened as a result, and it wasn't a waste since I would have to level up again for the next unit.
 I quickly selected Freesia's summoning stone and began to summon it.

'I always look forward to it when a new girl comes in!

It's been a long time since I summoned Luna, so it's been a while since I've seen her summoned.

'Yes. Oh, now that I think about it, Luna-san's cold response is a good memory.

'Don't let that be a good memory...'

 Sisha clasps her hands together as she looks at the light flooding from her phone, as if she is immersed in memories. Luna sends her a dumbfounded zit-eye at her.
 Compared to the first time, Luna seems to have become a lot more rounded compared to the first time. I wondered what would happen back then.

 The outpouring of light subsided and the girl appeared in front of me.
 The first thing I saw was a long ear with a distinctive pointed tip that stretched out to the side.
 She was dressed in a sleeveless top and miniskirt. It may seem a bit revealing, but she is also wearing a long pareo-like skirt that covers half of the skirt.
 In contrast to such a seemingly light outfit, she was holding a large bow in her hand and a fine arrow barrel hanging from her waist.

 When Freesia opens her eyes, her blue eyes crackle.
 She shook her side pony of small, clothed brown hair and looked at us scurrying around.

'Um, did you guys call me?'

Yeah, yeah. I'm Heihachi Okura, nice to meet you.

'Yes. I'm Freesia, and it's nice to meet you!

 Freesia responded to my greeting with a smile.
 Oh! This is the first time I've had a decent response! I knew I should have greeted them in my usual tone........
 As I was thinking about that, the Noles were buzzing.

''This is the first time Okura-dono has greeted them properly!

I wasn't sure what kind of greeting I was going to make this time, but it was normal.

It's not very interesting. Mr. Okura, you could have been more adventurous, couldn't you?

'Don't complain if I give you a proper greeting!

'Heihachi, don't worry. It was creepy when it was me, but I'm fine this time.

Oh, well...

 Luna gave me a thumbs up and said with a crisp expression.
 I've been endorsed as okay, but I'm in a very mixed mood....

''Haha, I don't know, but they seem like fun people.

I don't want you to think I'm enjoying this but it's good to see you in the future.

 Freesia is laughing at our exchange.
 And for now, I guess that's a success for a first greeting, right?
 Anyway, Freesia has been smiling and laughing ever since she was summoned.
 As far as I know in GC, she was an elf with a bright personality. If nothing else, she seems to be just as decent as Esther.
 Then Nol and the others introduced themselves, and the first greeting went off without a hitch.

'Is your memory okay?'

'Um, we're talking demonic and lack of strength or something like that?

Well you seem to have some memory.

I wonder if he really knows what he's doing...

 That was a very vague response, but........well, it's okay, because she seems to have a general grasp of the situation.

It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're talking about.

Yeah, I'm an elf.

I see, that's why you have such unusual ears.

Not only is it long, but it can be moved.

Oh, your ears are moving.

 Luna is watching Freesia's ears moving back and forth with amusement.
 Can you move those ears at will........

''Hmm, those ears are still noticeable. What is to be done about it?

Is there something wrong with my charm points?

No, it's not that serious, but...

 With her ears twitching, Freesia tilted her head.

''Could it be that you can't seem to register as an adventurer? As I recall, the demons have heard this story for a long time, too.

'Yeah, and I'd better not go out too much. It's not a good time.

What, I'm not allowed to go outside?

'I meant to ask you to refrain from going out into the streets without a fight, so don't worry about that.

 One of the characteristics of a demon that was explained to me before was that he had long ears.
 So like Luna, Freesia seems to be a bad idea to let them out too much, too.
 It's ridiculous to register as an adventurer in the association because there's been suspicion that there might be demons out there these days.

 As far as the eyebrows are frowning as if they can't go outside, it seems that Freesia is not a recluse, unlike Luna.
 You can't let her out as it is, but you have to think of a way to deceive her so that she can walk out.

The best way to do this is to have a look at your own personal computer.

It doesn't look like we're going to get much in the way of equipment this time.

There were a lot of duplicate SSRs as well. But we can stack them up for that, so I'm looking forward to it.

 Other than welcoming Freesia in this time, we got almost no new equipment.
 For that reason, as Sisha said, we can only hope for more of the dumbed down equipment to be stacked.
 I can also stack Freesia's Divine Lux, and it seems to be a perfect addition to my strength.

 The first thing I put out was a white bracelet that I've never seen before.

 ------
Dimension Bracelet
 You can temporarily move from the attached part to any space within a certain area.
 ------.

'So this is new equipment. It's scary to move beyond the part you put on...

'If it's in front of the bangles I wonder if you can move your hands around?

You must try it first.

 Moving it around seems scary to me, but with a gacha-produced item, it should be safe.
 With a little trepidation, I put on the bracelet and, for now, I look at the cup at a distance and imagine grabbing it in my mind.
 Then the tip of my wrist, which is in front of the bracelet, disappears, and my hand suddenly appears in front of the cup.
 It's not uncomfortable, but it's an odd sensation to have your hand at a distance.
 Even if you try to move your fingers, it doesn't look the same as it usually does, so that's a strange feeling.

"Oh! Only my hand is in the air! It's awesome!

It's a strange sight. If it can fly with weapons and such, it will have an effective use.

'Hmm, I don't know. Let's try a glass.

 If you look at what the cross-section is, it's all black and it's like a different space.
 As Sisha says, if you can fly your weapons with it, you can make use of it when you fight.
 I grabbed a cup to try it out and then reminded him to come back, and my arm also came back with the cup in my hand.

'Looks like it'll come in handy to take things off while I'm asleep. Give it to me.

No! You're obviously intent on using it for a different purpose!

Cheapskate. Heihachi is cheapskate.

 Seeing the way he brought things, the annoying little girl-sama wanted it.
 It was the same when Spatium came out before, but it looks like she wants the space system because it makes things easier.......
 I don't want him to get any more lazy, so it seems better not to give it to him.
 He looks frustrated with his mouth agape, but it can't be helped.

 The next thing I took out was a sword with a slit in the blade.

 ------
Sword with a bellows.
 Attack power +950
 ------

Is it the SSR sword? It has a strange slit in it, don't you think?

'Ah, that's probably the one where the blade splits and extends. Do you want to use it as an auxiliary weapon for Noor?

Mmmm, a sword that extends..... At any rate, we will try it out later.

 When it comes to handling swords, there's no one to the right of Noor, so I decided to give this one a shot.
 This is the kind of guy who has the properties of both a sword and a whip, with the blades held together by wires that break apart, right?
 I'd like to use it because it's a man's romantic weapon, but I don't want to, because if I use it, I'm afraid I'll wrap myself up in a control error.

''So much for the new equipment. The Nibelung and Grimoire are only dupes.

Well....what? Brother, this awlitya, this grimoire, I don't know if I've ever seen it before.

What?

 As I was looking at the other dumbed-down equipment, Esther looked at the screen and said that this wasn't a dumbed-down piece of equipment.
 Huh? But isn't Grimoire the last of the grasps that are UR?
 I already have Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Darkness, so the only thing left is Light.
 If I didn't have Awalitia, then I would have had two left.

 ------
Grimoire "Houritia
 Light magic attack +100%.
 Confuses the target of the attack with a 30% chance of being disrupted.
 ------.

 What came out was a white book with a fox on the cover.
 Looking at her abilities, she was a light-attribute Grimoire.

'Light-attribute Grimoire means..............So all the attributes are now available. But then, what's the Grimoire that was picked up yesterday, Grimoire?'

I don't know if you're asking me that. You'll have to wait and see.

 Estelle smiles happily and holds her new Grimoire in her arms.
 The question remains as to what the Grimoire 'Gras' was, but since he looks happy, it's fine.......

''Then the last thing we need to do is strengthen the dumb equipment as usual. Let's start with Freesia's bow.

''What? You're going to enhance my Divine Luxe!

Yeah, I got it before and kept it for this occasion.

'Wow! Ehehe, I'm so happy that you've just been summoned and suddenly you're strengthening me.

 Freesia is smiling and happy, but it hurts to remember that I almost converted it to a house extension point for a moment before.
 When I get a dedicated UR in the future, I'll leave it undivided.

------
Divine Lux *2
 Attack power +2900
 Extended range "large
 Hit correction (large)
 automatic collection
 Action speed +35%.
------

  The 2900 attack power at long range is pretty strong.
 If you mix two more, my Excalibur, which I've been steadily building up, will soon overtake you.

'And while you're at it, I'd like to check the other UR I have, okay?

Yeah, it's this bow and arrow.

''You even have an arrow that originally came with it, and you even have a special UR arrow.

 Apart from the arrow that came with the Divine Lux, the arrow in the arrow tube at Freesia's waist seemed to be another dedicated UR.
 She took one out of the tube and showed it to me. The whole thing is a transparent green arrow, and even though I'm dull to look at it, I can feel something mysterious about it.

------
Divine Arrow
 Attack power +500
 automatic collection
 Hit correction (large)
 Critical Hit +50%.
------

 Oh ... this arrow alone is pretty strong. And it even comes with a fatal hit.
 Simply put, this is a critical hit with a probability of damage jumping up at once.
 If this thing is even attached at long range, it's going to be able to produce damage as good as that of Noor.......

'It's a fine bow and arrow. I'd like to see a guy who puts an object on top of his head and shoots it out or something like that, which is common.

I got it! Make sure you hit it right in the middle of the forehead!

What do you think I'm putting that on my head for?

Oh, I see. Heh, I was so inattentive.

 We're talking about hitting a target on the top of your head, but what do you do with it on your forehead!
 If you get shot in the head with the power of Freesia's attack, you won't just burst like a watermelon, you'll be obliterated!
 I thought he was decent, but maybe he's a natural and dangerous guy...

 Lastly, as is customary every time, the reinforcement of Excalibur and the like.

 ------
Excalibur☆45
 Attack power +4890
 Action speed +270%.
 State Failure: Poison (small)
 Wood Special Effect: Damage +10%.
Pot Lid☆33
 Defense +1850
Adamant Armor *5
 Defense +1700
 Defensive speed +20%.
Magic Blade*8
 Attack power +550
 Ignore Defensive Attacks
 ------

We did it! My Magic Blade is greatly enhanced, too!

The Excalibur is entering an extraordinary level...

'I'm also surprised there are fifty of the same thing out there...'

'You're so strong for such an oddly shaped weapon!

"Mm, you'll be disappointed because you're stronger than my spear.

 
 I didn't expect SR to be able to enhance it so much... I mean, I'm surprised they've had 46 so far!
 The pot lid and adamant armor are starting to look good too.
 The magic blade for Sisha has been enhanced quite a bit as well... but I'll stop the Priestess if she doesn't... oh! What a way to say it could be a vanguard position.
 Hmmm, I guess this was a good harvest for strengthening our strength. Now that Freesia is joining us, the hunt is going to progress.
