Act 3: Chapter 3: Spirit Summoning

Act 3: Chapter 3: Spirit Summoning

After we bought the catalyst needed for the spirit summoning and placed a bulk order for the ?Adamant Ore? with Gannet, we left Manarak and headed toward the nearby forest.

?… This is the first time Pomera has seen forty million gold melted into ore.?

Pomera spoke with a dumbfounded look on her face.

?Pomera-san, your sense of money is starting to go haywire.?

?I mean, even if Kanata-san is saying that to me…?

We’d already used up thirty million gold to buy the ingredients for ?Adamant Ore? after all.

We were left with ten million but that was the rounded up amount of money we had left.

Previously, it was still an experiment to see whether it was possible or not to create adamant ore.Now that we’d found the method to create adamant ore, we wouldn’t have to worry about the amount of ?Ether? .

Moreover, Gannet had also said that he needed some time to gather all the materials on our list to create ?Adamant Ore?.

I wanted to secure a constant amount of the materials as soon as possible.

… And then, we’d spent most of the rest of the ten million gold to buy a new cane to replace Pomera’s broken cane, and the leftover  was pretty much spent to buy the catalyst to summon a spirit.

Though she had used every trick in in her disposal to compensate for what she lacked, there was a huge difference between Pomera’s level and the level of the cane that she used, so it was more effective as a blunt weapon for Pomera.

That’s why, we decided to buy her a new cane.

Since Pomera’s level was too high, I felt that I had to prepare a suitable cane for her someday, but I guess a store bought cane will do for now.

In regards to the catalyst for the summoning, according to the grimoire that I got from Lunaire, I had to choose a catalyst that corresponded to a powerful spirit.

The price would be justified as long as I could make a pact with a high-ranking spirit that could give me ?Yggdrasil’s Droplet?.

… But, since I didn’t compromise with quality, I ended up only looking at high-priced catalysts.

I mean, if I did make a contract with a spirit, it was much better for the spirit to be on the powerful side.

As a result, by the time I noticed, all forty million gold was almost gone.

It just my intuition but it felt like one gold was equivalent to one yen.

And I would never have expected a day to come where I would spend money many times over the sum of money I’d spent in the twenty years of my life in just a single day would come in this way.

?Sorry… Philia-chan. We ended up using all that money…?

?Philia is happy to be able to help Kanata! Philia wants to make more money!?

What a good child. Her sparkling gaze as she spoke like that was too bright for me.

Though I used to worry about what should I do to this child back when when I was taking her with me, I now felt really glad that I took her along.

?… Let’s go to the cake shop once we’re done with the summoning ceremony, Philia-chan.?

?Really? YAAAY!?

Philia was hopping around happily upon hearing my remark.

Pomera’s levelling took the utmost priority but my chest ached upon seeing her hopping happily.

Place was also played an important role in the spirit contract.Reason being, there were so many requirements for establishing communication with a spirit for the first time.

It was the lake if you wanted to summon water spirit, mountain for rock spirit, and on top of that, there was also the price.

One might say that performing a summoning in the forest was standard.

The most important thing was the fact that we had to do that in place rich with nature.

The downtown that was bustling with people and man-made objects would only raise the degree of difficulty in communicating with spirits and making a contract.

Low-level spirits would come easily though.

?Let’s use the four gate method to perform the communication.?

I walked toward the direction pointed by the ?Adventurer King’s Golden Compass? which I got from Lovis and drew four figures on the ground with ?Hero Sword; Gilgamesh?.

The four gate method was one of the methods used for summoning spirits. We place items in each direction and sent those items to the spirit world as compensation to communicate with the spirit.

I lined up ores or hearts of monsters which I bought from the city.

?You only bought three right, Kanata-san? Why did you only prepare three when the method called for four gates??

?I’m going to use this for the fourth one. Much better than letting it rot in my inventory.?

I invoked the ?Dimension Pocket? and took out a big jade sphere from within.

I could see the shadow of something wriggling within the jade crystal.

?I see, and this is…?

Pomera who could feel the eerieness of this crystal raised her big cane immediately.

?Loot from the demon king. Honestly it feels like a waste to use this, but… well, this thing feels ominous after all, so I think that I should get rid of it as soon as possible.?

Regarding this item, I’ve already checked the details.

Yes, it was none other than ?Abyssal Moon?.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

?Abyssal Moon??Value: Phantasmal?

A crystal ball that was tinged with wicked magical power.

The condensation of thirteen demon king’s blood, made by a high ranking alchemist.

A portion of the demon king’s soul can be seen wriggling inside the crystal.

It has the power to entice monsters. In addition, it can also cause explosive growth on a monster when it is embedded into their body.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

This was what came out when I tried to appraise it using ?Akashic Record?.

And since it had no other purpose, it was a perfect catalyst.

I reconfirmed the steps while reading Lunaire’s grimoire.

?The next part… seems to depend on my magical power. Let see, place my hands in the center and pour in my mana.?

The one who might come out was most probably the spirit whose power similar to the summoner, the land, or the item, or else, it’ll be randomized if the uncertain factors were too strong.

Depending on the situation, the one who comes out might be a high rank spirit, but it didn’t close the possibility of the one that appears being a low-rank spirit.

It seems that according to the personality, we were still left with uncertainty of whether we could only summon the spirit temporarily since if we failed to fulfill the spirit’s task, or managed to fulfill the spirit’s task and managed to make a contract with the said spirit.

?Kanata-san… are you sure it’s okay to put… that much mana??

?It’s okay.To be honest, the only thing I’m worried about is whether the spirit likes human or not.?

The frown on Pomera’s face got even deeper upon hearing me saying that with smile on my face.

?Let see, O Spirit Who Live In The Land, Please Lend Your Power to Us, The Child of Man…?

I chanted so as I placed my hand in the center of magic circle while pouring in my mana into the magic circle.

The magic circle shone brightly.

And then, the four catalysts also vanished as the shine intensified and instead a giant beast appeared in front of me.

Its length was around three metres long.It had beautiful azure colored fur which made me want to keep looking at it.

Its hairy, two tails were swinging around happily.

Though Pomera’s eyes opened wide as she saw the beast with a vigilant look on her face, her cheeks blushed upon seeing the appearance of the spirit.

?S-… So adorable.?

The moment Pomera lowered her guard, the beast before me opened its mouth.

Its appearance resembled that of giant dog and drool was dripping down from its open mouth.

Pale blue drool were dripping down to the earth.

Its long tongue stretched out and its golden eyes opened wide, just like a hunter finding its prey.

?HIIII!?

Pomera hide behind me.

… At least the temporary contract was succeeded.

Now what should I do to please this spirit, all those catalysts would be used for no reason if I failed to make a contract with this spirit…
