Chapter 192.2. Summoning Contract

“The body of Diamond Poyopoyo was once thought to be a material for weapons and such. Its rarity, appearing only once every few years in the Ranch Dungeon, was also a reason for that.”

“But even if we worked hard to defeat it, nothing remained. The people who make magical tools were also disappointed and folded their ears.”

Tamamo attached fox ears to her head. She’s an adorable fox girl.

“It seems it’s composed only of mana, just like my Holy Shield. So the prevailing theory is that only the core is the actual body, while the surrounding form gets created using conjuration magic. It’s sturdy. But it has very little durability, which supports that theory.”

I see. If what Sena says is true, it would explain the lack of durability. Advanced magic shields have absolute defensive capabilities but lack durability.

But there’s another issue I’ve noticed.

“Oh… Did everyone study the dungeon’s state before coming here?”

They all seem to know too much, causing sweat to trickle down my temple and my mouth to twitch.

As expected, all three of them nodded.

I see, so they did some studying. Except for one person. Me. I thought not knowing would be more exciting.

Well, enough of the self-reflection. Let’s focus on what I need to do.

“So, has anyone made a summoning contract?”

“A summoning contract? Since defeating them is rare, it seems no one has a connection with the monsters.”

I studied that summoners in this world, who are like mages, can sometimes establish a connection with monsters by continuously defeating them. I also learned that having a long-term pet can make a connection between summoners and their monsters.

When they establish a connection, summoners can supposedly summon monsters from the demon realm where the monsters reside, or so they say. The demon realm is where monsters reside. The spirit realm is where spirits reside. The celestial realm is where angels reside. And the human realm where humans reside.

Scholars in this world of magic theory proposed summoning as a template explanation. The setting for now, every race can’t traverse two worlds, and summoning is the only way to call forth creatures. It sounds so fake.

Odin laughed off that theory. According to Grandpa, the monsters are only stored as an archive in the world’s principles, and when summoned, it’s just forming a physical body using mana as an output.

Otherwise, there would be no explanation for why they can die and resurrect even though they are not immortal gods.

He said that those with the talent for summoning probably unconsciously memorized the composition of the creatures.

But that’s only for summoners in this world.

I understood and accepted it when I heard it.

If it’s just memory, then resurrection is possible.

After all, Ant-san keeps coming to life no matter how many times it dies.

“Oh… Actually, from shisho, Mii-chan is learning summoning magic too!”

Mii-chan is different. The summoner in the game had a troublesome specification. They could handle a total of 20 summon beasts, five for each job rank, but they could only remember them if they had the summoning contract scroll.

I had to defeat monsters that would drop the summoning contract scroll relentlessly. It was annoying to defeat boss characters repeatedly. And in this world where I can’t carry items over, I had to gather the summoning contract scrolls from scratch.

“Huh? Mii-sama can use summoning?”

Yamiyo and the others had surprised expressions on their faces.

“I haven’t made a single summoning contract yet, but I just had an idea!”

Thinking that she might have become a new type of human, Mii-chan looked at her inventory. She wanted to use it here.

“Su~mmon~!”

-Do you want to use the summoning contract scroll of Diamond Poyopoyo?-

-Yes-

With an innocent smile, she raised both hands to the sky, and magical power surged from her hands. A gust of wind stirred around Mii-chan, and sand whirled up.

A magic circle with a diamond’s radiance appeared in the sky, and purple lightning crackled.

“Poyopoyo~!”

And there, Poyopoyo, a 5 meter tall creature with a diamond body, appeared.

With a thud, it landed on the ground and let an adorable cry, its body trembling.

“I did it! It worked! Hmm, your name will be Poyorin!”

“Poyopoyo~”

Poyorin happily shook its body, bouncing up and down. Mii-chan was also very happy.

After all, it was a monster I couldn’t make into a companion even in the game!

“We did it! Success, everyone!”

With a little wave of her small hand, Mii-chan swayed her body and did the Mii-chan Dance. Her gray hair sparkled like silver, and her ice-blue eyes filled with the joyous light.

She got so excited that she even somersaulted. She rolled on the ground, turning and turning.

Behind her, Poyorin also shook its body and danced too.

Diamond Poyopoyo could only be obtained as a companion when it’s in a fusion scene. It could run at supersonic speed when I mounted it, you know?

Diamond Poyopoyo was as rare as winning the 1st prize in the lottery. The reason is that only Diamond Poyopoyo in the fusion scene dropped the summoning contract scroll, and Mii-chan finally obtained it.

Everyone looked at Mii-chan, dancing with joy, with faces of disbelief.

“Summoners are also quite rare… But as expected of Mii-sama!”

“Em-chan is a bundle of surprises. Boom!”

“I can’t believe it…”

Although the three were dumbfounded, Mii-chan didn’t mind.

I wonder if I can ride on Poyorin to go back later. I’m excited!
