“Alright, first up is Ms. Nataira!”
“Yes, I look forward to working with you.”
“Level 45. Ah, that’s for the Dancer class!”
*Shoot, I forgot to have the receptionist’s coach here.*
*Well, it’s fine. I only have three people to deal with.*
“Thank you.”
“The magic I learned is ‘Fire Tornado.’ It’s a blazing tornado magic that engulfs one enemy in countless flames!”
“Wow, that sounds amazing.” “You can try it out over there.”
She’s pointing at the entrance to the Dungeon.
“Ah, speaking of trying things out, Nataira, here’s a grimoire now that you’re here.”
“Yes, that’s right. Now that I’m here, let’s do it here.”
“Are you sure it’s okay? Did you look through all of it?” “Anju, the way you say that is a little mean.”
Nataira, who says that and casually glances through it.
What if there’s actually some subtly good magic hidden in there, because that would be a problem.
“…Yes, ‘Shooting Star Heal’.”
“Please wait, an explanation.”
“No, Verbin, it’s written there.”
*Should I deliberately make her do more work?*
“You can’t get a high hit rate if you just point!”
“Anju, how could you say such a thing…”
“Point, and then concentrate!”
*She knows how to use it!*
“…Hiii!”
♪ Jangjaka-jaaaan
♪ Jang-jang-jang!
♪ Jangjaka-jaaaaan!
“I learned it!”
” ” “Ooooooh” ” ”
Verbin, Anju, and I are clapping. The elaborate musical arrangement is a bit much, but it’s fine. Nataira is enveloped in a heightened sense of emotion by Anju’s music magic.
“I want to try it!”
“It’s a healing spell, so it’s okay to do it here too, right Verbin?”
“Y-yes, go ahead.”
She raises both arms…
“Shooting Star Heal!”
Balls of dazzling light rain down in the room!!
“Whoa, this is amazing!”
“Pretty!”
“It really is, it’s incredible!”
Even Verbin is mesmerized.
“I want to use this for the final part of the festival ritual!”
“Yeah, I think that’s a good idea, but when and where will the ritual be?”
“Ah…”
She falls silent. Did I say something cruel?
“Um, well then, next is MAINA.”
“Um, you can skip the details.”
“Why?! Is it because you don’t want to bother bringing them out??”
Or maybe she was already asleep in her subspace room.
“It was just going from level 72 to 73.”
“Ah, I see. Anju can see it, right?”
“I told you, if you call me, that’s all there is to it.”
*Well, that’s fine then.*
*Apparently, the way you gain levels differs with Summoning. Being from another world might be the reason though!*
“By the way, thanks to MAINA working hard…”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“I can summon the third person.” “Eh?!”
*Is it another Otherworlder?!*
“Have you summoned them already?”
“Which one should I choose?”
“Ah, I see. There are two more people, right?”
I don’t remember their names specifically.
“Which do you want, male or female?”
“Anju, which do you prefer?”
“Either is fine. The Sage is male, and the Bard is female.”
Both are rare job classes. The Bard is rarer, but in terms of combat power…
*Ah, that’s right!*
“Verbin.”
“Yes!”
“Please explain the Sage and the Bard.”
She pulls out the thick Adventurer Guild handbook. I hope she can say it from memory without reading.
“F-first, the Sage is a specialist in normal magic. It’s an amazing job that can handle both attack and healing magic. At high levels, they can attack and heal with light magic!”
Yes, that’s basic knowledge.
“Clarice is like that, isn’t she?”
“Yes, in ‘Nina Starlights’…”
“By the way, what’s the difference between a Sage and a Saint?”
I wish she could answer this much without reading the book.
“Um, Sei, jo, Saint…”
*So it’s no good.*
“I found it. A female Sage who belongs to a church, and one who has been recognized for particularly high abilities is called that. In each church, the Saint herself is sometimes revered!”
*So she’s like a proxy for God.*
“Pero and I both revere her.”
“Ah, you’re part of the Church of the Goddess, after all.”
“We sneak in after school.”
*No, you don’t have to sneak!*
“Now then, about the Bard.”
“Yes, Gi, Gi, Gin…”
Nataira is still trying out “Shooting Star Heal” in the corner of the room. The grimoire she used has had its magic depleted, but the written characters haven’t disappeared. It’s placed on the counter, and will likely be used effectively as valuable material.
“A Bard is a high-level job specializing in support magic. Using some kind of instrument – basically a harp, but also ocarinas and lutes, and even harmonicas in rare cases – they strengthen allies or weaken enemies.”
Hmm, I’ve heard it’s a job with as few people as an Illusionist.
“Anju, will the Otherworlder’s weapon also be a harp?”
“I don’t know.”
“I see. I guess we’ll have to look forward to it after they’re summoned.”
I already feel full with status-buffing skills and items, but maybe it would be good to raise one. Also, Otherworlders sometimes possess incredibly powerful items.
“So, which one will it be?”
“Whichever you like, Anju!”
“Then, in order from the top!”
Anju rummages around in her item bag, pulling out magic stones. Ah, I see. Was that necessary for the first summoning? I don’t think MAINA’s case had that… She probably summoned them once beforehand.
*They must have talked about a party.*
“Is it going to take long?”
“A little.”
“Then, Verbin, last is me!”
“Yes!”
Here it comes. It’s time for me to check my Level Up! I wonder what kind of magic or skills I will learn…?!
