Volume 16 Chapter 9, New Summons

A day when the first golem was almost completed.

Kousuke was relaxing in the lounge space when Haku came to talk to him.

“Father, is this a good time?”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“Could you please come to the Administration Floor of the Northwest Tower?”

Kousuke’s eyes twitched at the sudden request.

“Is something wrong?”

“There was, or rather… Or should I say, I did something…”

Kousuke inclined his head to Haku, who was fumbling her words.

“Hmm…? Well, okay. I’ll go.”

Kousuke answered and got up from the sofa and headed for the Administration Floor.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

“… So? We’re here, what happened?”

“Take a look at this.”

With that, Haku opened the summoning circle page in the administration menu.

The Northwest Tower was completely untouched, so only a small amount of summons could be summoned.

However, where Haku had indicated, new summons had been added.

The race of the summoned beast that had been added was <Mini Dragon>.

“Did you summon this?”

Kousuke only knew of two elements that could be added to the system, even though the level had not increased.

The two factors were to bring them in or summon them.

He couldn’t think of any other Tower that could have added the Mini Dragon race, so he guessed that it had been added by summoning.

When asked, Haku replied with a nod.

“Yes, the Mini Dragon is my kin, and I can summon them at any time, so I summoned them.”

“I see.”

Kousuke didn’t say anything about Haku’s summoning in the Northwest Tower.

The decision to leave the Northwest Tower alone was partly for verification, but it was also because they were short on manpower.

The timing was just right, because with the possibility of golems, the point in leaving the Tower empty was diminishing.

“However, before I summoned it to this Tower, I also tried summoning it on other Towers, but it was only registered on the menu for this Tower.”

Kousuke was surprised by the unexpected information.

“Tell me more about it.”

At Kousuke’s urging, Haku started talking, but her reason was very simple.

At first, when she was accompanying Sylvia to check the Floor, she suddenly thought of summoning the Mini Dragon.

She was able to summon it as usual, so she went back to the Administration Floor to check, but the Mini Dragon had not been added.

Then she tried again on the other Towers, but no Mini Dragon was added to any of them.

Amamiya Tower and the Northwest Tower were the only ones left, so she tried it in the Northwest Tower first, and it was registered, which was why she came to Kousuke’s place in a hurry to report it.

“I see.”

“… Um, aren’t you angry?”

“Angry? Why?”

Kousuke inclined his head to Haku, who asked fearfully.

“Because I used the Northwest Tower without permission…”

“Oh! No, I’m not mad at you. Rather, I’m glad you found out about it.”

Haku let out a sigh of relief at Kousuke’s answer.

The first one didn’t go so well, so she summoned one after the other on the spur of the moment, but then she remembered that Kousuke had mentioned leaving the Northwest Tower alone. By then, the Mini Dragon had been registered there.

“I’m glad.”

“Anyway, what happened to the Mini Dragon you summoned in the other Tower and the Mini Dragon in this Tower?”

Summoning was basically summoning one at a time, so he was worried about whether the Mini Dragon she summoned would be able to survive with just one of them.

“That should be alright. I’ve released all the summoned ones together in a Floor in this Tower.”

“Right. Then from now on, Haku will be in charge of the administration of this Tower.”

“Me?”

“That’s what I was planning to do originally, and it’s just the right time for you to do it.”

“…I understand.”

Haku nodded at Kousuke’s request.

From Kousuke’s point of view, Haku’s summoning was quite an interesting result.

Besides, there was one more thing he wanted to check.

“The Mini Dragon summoning, did you do that at Amamiya Tower?”

“No, not yet.”

“Then, can you try?”

“Of course.”

After seeing Haku nod, Kousuke took Haku and Kouhi to the Eleventh Floor of Amamiya Tower.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

The Eleventh Floor was formerly the First Floor of the South Tower.

Since it was replaced in the Floor replacement, the environment was that of the South Tower.

Kousuke chose this location because he wanted to see what would happen if she tried summoning in Amamiya Tower when she failed in the South Tower.

If the Mini Dragon was summoned here and registered in Amamiya Tower’s administration menu, only the environment would have been inherited from the South Tower, but the content such as the rules applied would be from Amamiya Tower.

When the Floor was replaced, there were vegetation and monsters that naturally were not registered in the Amamiya Tower menu, but all of them were unregistered.

He was hoping that he might be able to figure out the rules behind it.

In front of Kousuke’s eyes, Haku summoned a Mini Dragon.

One Mini Dragon was created in front of Haku’s line of sight.

It looked like a lizard with wings.

He looked at its status as well.

Name: None

Race Name: Mini Dragon

Inherent Skill: Flight LV3, Wind Magic LV4, Bite LV2, Swing (Tail) LV3

Blessing Skill: Dragon’s Bloodline.

Title: Kin of Haku (temporary)

The reason the title was <Kin of Haku> was because, it was Haku who summoned him.

As for the other skills, there should be no particular change.

Leaving Haku and the summoned Mini Dragon there for now, Kousuke returned to the Administration Floor.

When he checked the summons in the administration menu, he found that the <Mini Dragon> had been successfully added.

He immediately set up his normal set as well as <Mini Dragon Summoning Circle (10) x 2> and immediately returned to the 11th Floor.

“The base has been built, does that mean it has been added?”

Haku asked him, as she had guessed by looking at the surroundings.

“Yeah. It’s been added. In the meantime, I’m going to summon twenty Mini Dragons, so you’re free to do whatever you want with that child.”

“Understood.”

In the end, the Mini Dragons summoned by Haku were taken to the Northwest Tower.

All the Mini Dragons summoned by the summoning circle were given the title of <Kousuke’s Kin>. He thought it would be lonely if only one of them was called <Haku’s Kin>.

However, he wasn’t sure if the Mini Dragons even knew about their titles.

After summoning twenty Mini Dragons, Kousuke returned to the Administration Floor.

Haku was left behind to take the Mini Dragons she had summoned herself to the Northwest Tower.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Returning to the Administration Floor, Kousuke thought about what had happened this time.

First, he thought about the fact that Amamiya Tower and the Northwest Tower registered the entry in the menu, while the other Towers did not.

This could be said for other installations as well, but in each Tower, there were clearly defined items that were registered and those that were not.

It was unclear where and on what basis this distinction was established.

In addition, the title given by the summoner would be given priority to the person who summoned it.

The Mini Dragon summoned by Haku was given the title <Haku’s Kin>, while the Mini Dragon summoned by the summoning circle was given the title <Kousuke’s Kin>.

The Mini Dragon summoned from the summoning circle in the Northwest Tower was also labeled <Kousuke’s Kin>.

This indicates that the summons from the summoning circle were only the kin of the head administrator registered in the Tower.

The same was true for summoned creatures in other Towers, so it may seem like a bit of an oversight, but it was interesting to see that summoning within a Tower has a different result.

In the Northwest Tower, Haku would raise the Mini Dragons she summoned, so he was also looking forward to seeing what would happen in the future.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Haku decided to take over the administration of the Northwest Tower, so now all the Towers would be managed.

The golems were almost complete, so once they were completed, it would be possible to add even more kin without worrying about how to feed them.

Amamiya Tower did not have any major changes lately, except for the town of the 5th Floor, so it was going to undergo a major change when the golems were completed.
