Chapter 203 – Part 2

Translation: Charlotte
Editor: Weasalopes

The place was getting quite noisy, so I needed Rick’s help to pull Helga out of the circle of girl’s talk.

I needed to talk to her about some equipment repair.

Nias, Telomere, and Shishiku were trapped in the ring of girl’s talk.

I had no choice but to use Tigris and Ligand to swap in Summon Monsters whose equipment I wanted to repair.

One by one, I asked Helga to repair Zangetsu’s, Goki’s, Senki’s, and Bunraku’s equipment.

Of course, I got her to repair my own equipment too.

But I didn’t have enough Magic Stones to fully repair everything.

Would it be alright to use some Mana Crystals too?

It would probably be best to use Alchemy to repair my equipment as much as possible.

But it looked like that wasn’t possible.

According to Helga, to do very accurate repair, a proper magic circle would be required.

Like the one at the tournament, huh…

Helga did have something similar, but it was clearly a much simpler piece of equipment.

She told me her master made it for her. It was apparently a standard for all her master’s pupils.

Her master?

Huh?

I don’t think my master has ever given me anything as nice as that…

I would definitely have to hunt down Master about this.

Helga got back in the circle of girl’s talk and at the same time, pulled out Margrid.

I wanted to talk to her about Shishiku’s collar.

「I’ll give you this.」

「Huh? You’re giving me this?」

She gave me a collar part.

More precisely, she gave me a Prison Guard’s Bracelet.

The same parts that could be used to make collars for Volff and Tigris.

With【Enchanted Weapon】, I could adjust the size of the collars to fit my different Summon Monsters.

It looked like quite a random and inappropriate idea, but it was worth trying.

Shishiku was still being taken by Adele, so I stooped down beside Adele to remove Shishiku’s collar.

Opening the collar and adding the collar part in, I closed everything together and adjusted everything to make a uniform ring.

It made sense in theory.

But it worked quite well in practice too.

Afterwards, Margrid gave me about 10 more collar parts.

「Is this okay? Giving me this many…」

「Yep, that’s okay. I have so many of those I’m actually quite at a loss about what to do with them.」

「Huh…」

This time it was Len-Len who swapped with Margrid.

But she just wanted to lecture me a bit about Nias’s equipment, more specifically, her top.

She told me that a tube top would probably be best.

And that she had quite a lot of fabric in reserve.

「What is this?」

「If you happen to need to adjust the size of the top again, you can just wrap this around her.」

Hmm. That would take some skill too…

After settling all the payments with Rick, I thanked everyone and left the place.

Of course, I left because there was plenty of night hunting to do.

The time was a little past 3 am.

I wanted to train my Summon Monsters as much as I could.

I hadn’t fought Haunted Mists in a long time.

What Summon Monsters should I put in my team?

I suppose I could start with the Summon Monsters I wanted to bring up to everyone else’s level.

I first summoned the Giant Bee Couturier.

But looking closer, I noticed Couturier seemed a bit slower than usual.

I focused on Couturier, and realised that she had an AGI penalty debuff.

That was unexpected.

I replaced Couturier with Ligand the Bat.

Afterwards, I summoned Strand the Sea Snake.

I wanted to train the two of them.

Afterwards, I got to thinking about the main force of my team.

I summoned Volff, Tigris, and Heather.

「How C- Cute!」

「Oh!」

Irina, along with Adele, was stooping down in front of Heather, patting her head.

Yep. Heather’s cuteness came to affect both of them.

It wasn’t just Irina anymore, but Adele too.

In any case, It had been a long time, so I invited them to do some monster extermination together.

Wait, not monster extermination, monster hunting.

They told me that monster populations were starting to go on the rise, both during the day and at night.

I suppose in that case, it would be better to form Unions when hunting in the fields.

Both Adele and Irina had 4 Summon Monsters.

Of course, since they wanted to train some of their low-level Summon Monsters too, some low-levelled Summon Monsters were mixed in their teams.

In the case of Adele, she wanted to train her Red Fox Kii-chan.

Her main force was a White Wolf, along with an Owl and a Lion.

As always, a big proportion of her team was made of her pets.

In Irina’s case, she wanted to train her Fairy Shirley.

She was following in the footsteps of Irina’s other fairy.

Think about it some more, Irina was really into fairies, huh.

On top of that, she summoned her Tiger and her Bat.

Her tiger Calico was quite close to the Class Change, so she definitely had to have him in.

「Well then…」

「Let’s start by using【Call Monster】!」

The three of us used【Call Monster】in turn.

Adele used her spell first.

My weapon was the Capture Rod of Torture.

Adele and Irina had staffs as sub-weapons.

Anyway…

It was time to go do some monster extermination.

The Haunted Mists could actually move around at quite a scary speed.

I had some low-levelled Summon Monsters, but that didn’t bother me too much.

I had strengthening spells to make up for the level difference after all!

Adele and Irina had pretty strong Summon Monster teams, after all.

They had clearly gotten stronger since the last time I got the opportunity to hunt together with them.

I used【Enchanted Weapon】and【Force Bullet】, and without hesitation, used many other spells too.

But I didn’t use【Sanctify Undead】.

It wasn’t a necessary spell.

We were already able to deal with them quite easily.

It was 4:30 am.

Something happened after we took down a Holy Wraith.

「Calico just levelled up, I can go through with the Class Change now.」

「Nice! You did it, Irina! 」

Huh.

Class Change, huh…

Which way would Irina go for…?

Ah, that’s right.

Fusion Identification.

When I used【Fusion Identification】on Tigris, he was already on the Sturmtiger path.

It would be nice to try checking the other option too.

「Could you wait a little bit before going through with the Class Change?」

「Huh? Okay, but what do you want to do?」

「There’s something I want to try.」

Well, while I was at it, another idea came to mind.

I could check all of Adele’s and Irina’s Summon Monsters.

But for the time being, I started with Calico.

I found a few very interesting bits of information.

First, I tried using【Fusion Identification】on Calico.

《The target is not an eligible Summon Monster for fusion.  A Class Change is required.》

Yep. That put everything in a new perspective.

Tigris, the Sturmtiger, wasn’t a Fusion Summon Monster Target at all.

I checked Tigris again, and sure enough, that was the case.

In that case, it meant that the Forest Tiger had to be a Fusion Summon Monster Target!

「Your Class Change Candidates are the Forest Tiger and the Sturmtiger, right?」

「Yes.」

「The Sturmtiger can’t be used in fusion.  But I think there’s a high chance that you will be able to use the Forest Tiger for fusion.」

「Huh?」

「Yes? You were talking about Mii-chan?」

「Yep. I guess I could check Mii-chan too?」

Going all the way back to the Wind Spirit Village would be troublesome, so I just used【Instant Portal】.

I got Adele and Irina to show me all of their Summon Monsters one by one, and I used【Fusion Identification】on all of them.

The results were quite interesting…

After compiling the information, it looked even more fascinating.
