Chapter 361 - Let's Receive Permission

◎ Trade City Uumin, Tranza Hotel

「Ooooh, Yuuko-nee. Yuuko-nee!」

In one of the hotel rooms prepared by Anglais that they had been guided to, there was a man crying to himself. It was Jinrai. The overflowing wouldn't stop. Even when he lost his right arm, Jinrai hadn't felt this sense of loss, which was like he had lost half of his own body.

Louise was comfortingly stroking the back of that dejected man.

「Master ……」

To the side, Yumika was looking at Jinrai with a complicated expression. He had been like this ever since Kazane, Yuuko-nee, and Tatsuo left the hotel.

In front of Yuuko-nee, Jinrai had said「It's okay. You should do as you like it」with a smiling face, but as soon as Yuuko-nee left, he began to wail like a dam had broken.

「He really loved Yuuko-nee.」

『Even during my active duty period, I've never seen him like that.』

Tiara was crying in sympathy, and Mefirus was dumbfounded.

「But what should we do? If Jinrai won't ride on Yuuko-nee, why don't we put him on you, Grandfather?」

『Rejected. I'll pass on letting a man ride on my back.』

Mefirus rejected Tiara's proposal. As a matter of fact, Tiara's Level had reached 25. And while it wasn't ready for combat, she had started training to operate the Ruby Griffon.

What that meant concretely was that Mefirus' juvenile Griffon body could become about the size of a normal Griffon. Her control was still poor, but she could manifest it even at the present time.

The Ruby ​​Griffon was originally the size of a small dragon, so its condition couldn't be called complete yet, but it still had reasonably high combat power.

Anyway, putting that aside, Mefirus could finally play an active role... although he was happy about that, he shook his head vehemently at the thought of becoming a second Yuuko-nee and helping Jinrai look better. And,

(Wouldn't I get a bald spot?)

Mefirus thought. To begin with, even when Mefirus was an active duty adventurer, he was often on support duty for Jinrai. The fact that Jinrai had never been aware of that could be considered even worse.

Thanks to that, Mefirus imitated Jinrai in his later years by doing his best to make a harem and letting his lecherous heart run at full power. Without realizing it, Jinrai had had a great influence on the king of a nation.

『I will never return to that time again, granddaughter.』

Mefirus said, and unable to understand his anguish, Tiara tilted her head. A young girl like her doesn't have the life experience to understand my state of mind yet... Mefirus philosophically felt, but since the problem wasn't simply due to life experience, she probably wouldn't be able to understand his feelings in her entire life.

「Ah, I got an email from Kazane.」

At that time, Yumika spoke.

「What is it?」

Tiara was the first to react to those words.

「Let's see... she wants to use the Magic Life Stone to power up Yuuko-nee, so she's asking if that's ok.」

「The Magic Life Stone to Yuuko-nee? What do you mean?」

While continuing to soothe Jinrai, Louise asked that question, and Yumika replied「Umm...」and read the email.

「It seems Magic Life Stones have the power to strengthen summoned creatures.」

After those words, Louise's eyes widened, and she said「Eh, is that so?」It seemed she hadn't known. Yumika thought (there are things even Louise-san doesn't know), but it wasn't like Louise knew everything.

「That is your achievement. If you don't have any objections, then there should be no problem.」

In the middle of the conversation, Jinrai stood up, turned to Yumika while enduring his pain, and said that. His bloodshot eyes were scary, but he was likely desperately trying to give appropriate advice as her master. He may have also wanted to urge Yumika to give tribute to Yuuko-nee.

「Master. Yes, that's right.」

As Jinrai said, the Magic Life Stone was obtained when Yumika defeated the Queen Ant on the floating island, so the usage priority was Yumika's... but Yumika accepted the words of her master and readily replied「Ok.」

She wasn't dissatisfied with her own summoned beast, Kuromaru, and when she did a Complete Wolf Transformation with『Deepening』, he could become a powerful magical beast called a Holy Cerberus. Yuuko-nee becoming stronger would also be a matter of great congratulation for Yumika.

◎ Trade City Uumin, Summoning Institute, Backyard

Kazane, who had been waiting for a reply at the Summoning Institute, told Magna and the others there「She said it's okay」after the email from Yumika arrived.

Kazane and the others were currently in the backyard of the Summoning Institute. Since this was a place prepared for summoning large summoned creatures, it was even bigger than they saw from outside; it was actually about the size of a school's sports ground.

The Thunder Chariot had been taken out, and currently, it was being examined by Summoning Institute researchers in various ways. This was because Magna had asked her to do so, as he'd heard rumors about Kazane's Thunder Chariot and wanted to confirm them, but Kazane herself also wanted to know more about the Thunder Chariot. If that possibly led to a plan to strengthen the Thunder Chariot, that would be even better.

「Hm. This is a splendid thing. I've never seen a chariot this impressive.」

「Nn, is that so?」

Kazane had never seen another chariot, so without a comparison target, she didn't know, but it seemed that even for Magna and the other researchers, the Thunder Chariot was a very interesting object.

「Indeed. You see, chariot summoning is unique to Dullahans. Summoners with Dullahan Childstones can order them to summon one, but they aren't as splendid as this.」

Magna was excited as he told her that.

「Since this chariot doesn't have a will, processing it like a summoned knight shouldn't be impossible.」

「How is that done?」

「We have sorcerers here dedicated to doing it. They can actually disassemble it and make changes, or like grafting, they can blend magical power at specific points to connect things.」

Magna so replied to Kazane's words.

「... Heh.」

「However, I think this is already sufficient even if you don't change anything.」

After Magna's words, Kazane also thought that there wasn't any part she wanted to change in particular. She had wondered when she summoned it if they'd have any ideas on how to change it, depending on whether or not they actually could, but it seemed the people here hadn't come up with anything.

As Kazane talked about that, Yuuko-nee behind her was rolling around.

Never mind that, let’s power up……. with that sort of feeling.

Now, as a recoil effect from Yuuko-nee and Kazane understanding each other, it seemed she was in a slightly rebellious period where she kept behaving like a spoiled child.

「Yuuko-nee, wait a little longer. I received the okay from Yumika, so I’ll prepare immediately.」

Kazane made an expression like it couldn't help it and said that to Yuuko-nee.

After Kazane spoke, Yuuko-nee said「Nya」and rolled around even more. It seemed that this time, she was doing it to express joy. Tatsuo was also rolling with her. They looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Then Kazane took out the Magic Life Stone sealed by Crystallization and Yuuko-nee's Childstone.

「However, this sealing method. How in the world do you do it?」

Magna looked at it and said that with a surprised expression. Since there had never been a sealing method until now, if sealing with『Crystallization』became established, it would be revolutionary. The gazes of the other researchers also shifted to Kazane.

「It's a secret, or rather, I can't teach you how to do it. I don't really understand either.」

However, while looking at the Magic Life Stone, Kazane so replied.『Crystallization』was an inherent Skill that could only be used by Kazane, Naga, and Tatsuo. It might be different if there were another Crystal Dragon, but unfortunately, she wasn't acquainted with any.

Magna was looking at the elliptical crystal orb in front of him with an expression like he couldn't quite believe it. However, as far as he could see, there were no signs of Magic Particles, so it was almost certainly safe.

「So then, what should I do with this?」

「Mm. Well, what you do is simple. While thinking about feeding the Magic Life Stone to the Childstone, you bring them closer, and it will simply be absorbed.」

「Hoho.」

So saying, Kazane was about to bring the Childstone and Magic Life Stone closer to each other when Magna said「However」to her.

「After the Magic Life Stone has been absorbed, a Monster Cocoon will be formed, and they'll sleep inside for 5 to 6 hours. During that time, the master who is connected through the Childstone must stay nearby. Otherwise, the Path will be cut.」

「I see.」

Kazane nodded, then looked at Yuuko-nee.

「Yuuko-nee, that's how it is, but is that okay?」

Yuuko-nee replied「Nyao」to Kazane's words. It seemed she wasn't nervous about anything in particular.

Then, Kazane undid the Magic Life Stone's Crystallization and immediately touched the Childstone and Magic Life Stone to each other. Thereupon, the Magic Life Stone was absorbed by the Childstone, and Yuuko-nee began to shine.
