Episode XI: Big Or Small

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

The day after we got together in the clan, I was coming to the Knights' quarters adjacent to Count Gideon's mansion.

But it's not like the Knights have errands, the reason they came is because of the facility behind this stuffing.

Where I used to see and go through my spare time on a regular basis while I was in Gideon... is a vault of cursed weapons.

In that vault I worked part-time to de-curse the cursed weapon. Equipped with [Purple Grievance A], it's an easy byte to just be beside the cursed weapon.

When decursed, the gear returns to its original high-performance weapon. On rare occasions it maintained its shape with the power of the curse, and some of it collapsed when it was decursed, but that seems to mean it has no choice because it is force majeure.

That byte leaves the kingdom with a cursed weapon, and I can accumulate the resentment of [Purple Grievance Runaway A]. It was a gainful byte for both.

Also, for every ten boxes of item boxes you decurse as a reward for your work, you can take your favorite weapon with you.

Now that I've cursed 60 boxes, I can count on six.

The decursed weapon will be a side prize for the tournament after tomorrow, so he came to collect my reward within the day.

Luke today, by the way, and the three Kasumatas are also accompanied.

Because I've been looking at the rewards I get during the curse, but I haven't picked one yet.

The current situation is that I couldn't pick one because of a lack of levels, opposite nemesis, or not meshing with my style.

Choosing six from here by the end of the day is difficult. You may receive unwanted items appropriately and redeem them or die. Even though there are rare and rare weapons on the market, there is no need for them.

In addition, I am now equipped with perks, new [VDA], [Brooch] that I will not remove for the convenience of style, and then the gear frame is filled considerably by [Stormface].

I can't pick many nowadays, and the need is dim.

So I decided to use the four-minute frame as the owner of the clan to increase the strength of the clan.

It's a form of getting four of the same rookies in the clan (who may already be out of time called rookies) to choose their gear one at a time.

When I see it across the clan, I think this is probably the most effective use of rewards.

"Are you sure, Mr. Ray?

"Oh. It's a“ tournament ”starting tomorrow, and it's a good time to think about it in the future and build up your strength."

"Yay! Owners are fat!

"Thank you"

"Oh, thank you......"

Then a little while later, I asked the clerk to open the door to the tightly sealed storage room, and we went inside.

in a room stacked with container-shaped item boxes. Once there was a drooling sense of oppression that should also be called a resentment build-up, but most of those were sucked by [purple resentment walker], so now it's air close to the antique vault.

"You're the decursed item box, so look in it. If you choose, ask the staff to declare it. Oh, because I owe people magnifying glasses that have an Appraisal Eye effect"

"Hi."

Narrow indoors, only Io's reply with the loudest voice got in my ear, but everyone else seemed to be responding and starting to pick it out.

And a little away from everyone like that, I'm in a different pile of item boxes... working on a pile of weapons that haven't been de-cursed yet.

"Because it has never been among those that have been cursed before. I hope there's something good in decursing today..."

"Nemesis, we have to pick two things for now, so we have to loosen up the review."

"Mmm... but I won't loosen it against the weapon"

"Yes, sir."

Nemesis has said the same thing many times. They're setting the hurdle pretty high for something called a weapon that protects me in my place.

I can't even imagine myself waving and fighting other than nemesis.

…………

"What's wrong, Nemesis, blush..."

"... look into it"

Well, okay.

In the meantime, let's move on with the decursion.

Whatever the arsenal, accessories might find something good.

When it had been about an hour since we continued to de-curse like that, we were still choosing.

Only Io just said, "This is good!" and had chosen the armor for his animal outfit, but everyone else, including me, is still lost.

Io, who decided early on, also seems to be looking for Kasumi and Fuji's share.

Luke is carefully sorted. When I asked him, he said, "I'm looking for a valid gear for the undead". Apparently, he's making gear choices ahead of the "tournament," keeping in mind the challenge to < UBM >.

If Luke's current subordinate capacity, Liz would normally fit in. If only we could buy Union Jack combined time, it would work for the upper ranks as well.

That and Luke's guess was that Luke's challenging undead would probably be less popular. Even though it has been clearly found that it can be done, it is not so special, and the rank is unknown. Few fight state anomalies as subjects to the top rankers in the kingdom today, so it was likely that they could win.

He still thinks Luke is a lot.

By the way, Babi, the other side of Luke, was tired of looking or sleeping in the corner of the storage room.

"Well, I still can't find it."

"Right."

The object of today's curse is a lot of weapons.

Nemesis's scrutiny is tough, but he can't keep it alive in my style if it's more of a normal weapon than that.

If the weapon isn't a nemesis, I'm low on basic stats and a peaky avant-garde with combined skills.

Only HP has grown considerably, but nemesis is still the only thing that keeps it alive for attack... so there's no substitute.

"I could use a more normal weapon now. … oh, that's the first accessory I've had in a long time"

Removing the next curse object from the item box, it was a bracelet-shaped accessory.

Wasn't it that severe a curse, it was cursed in less than a minute.

…… [The Big or Small Ring of Big and Small Summons]?

When I have it in my hand, I know the name.

But the gear effect is' unknown '

That's it, I don't know the details unless I have a high level of Appraisal Eye. I can't read the effects of borrowed magnifying glasses.

... Well, okay. It's some kind of equipment that seems to be derived from the magic system, not from physics, and I wouldn't be using it.

I will transfer the [Wheel of Small and Large Summons] to the Uncursed Box and retrieve the next Uncursed Object...

"............ yeah?

Why not?

I should have put the [ring of big and small calls] in the item box properly...... somehow my left hand is still holding it.

No, not exactly... my cage hand (...) is holding.

"... Gardranda?

The left-hand cageman moves on his own to respond to my inquiry, trying to fit [the wheel of great and small summons] into my right hand.

It's unusual for this guy to move alone. So this [wheel of big and small summons] is important to this guy?

"... well, try to fit in"

"Nah. I've already solved the curse, and if I equip it, it won't come off."

Talking to Nemesis like that, I equipped [the wheel of great and small calls] with my right hand.

One frame of accessories, and that fills it.

Then the cage hand on his left hand moves again and begins snooping through the floor with his fingers.

Following that trajectory with his eyes, he appeared to write 'Summon Me, with' Extremely Small '.

"... no, it would be catastrophic if I called you here"

Specifically, I'm the downside and catastrophic after the summons.

Is it a triple state anomaly, a human fire, or a physical seizure? In any case, it won't be a lot of things.

But in response to that fear of mine, Gardranda responds, 'It's okay, I'll call you'.

"Besides, I was trampled down last time."

…………

Speaking of which, although I called Gardranda in the fight against [the Beast King]... I became a death penalty before the downside occurred.

I thought it was something like that because even after my comeback it didn't create any particular disadvantages... Gardranda herself apparently had that in her roots.

... No, what's in it for you that I take the disadvantage?

"... well, I get it. Ah, Luke. If something weird happens to me, please deal with it."

"Okay."

Luke is quick to understand on the boulder and has Liz set up to do whatever happens.

That's how I respond to Gardranda's request when I'm ready.

"Extremely Small" - "Princess (Gardranda)"

'Speaking of which, I didn't select summons time and consumption MP' as soon as I said it, I realized.

But for some reason, he was able to summon me, and the [armor] leaves my hand.

Immediately afterwards, the [rings of great and small summons] emitted light - the [armor] disappeared.

And... he doesn't even look like Gardranda.

".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I didn't immediately understand the situation.

"Princess" is a skill in summoning Gardranda using ["Armor"] as a summoning medium.

The [Armor] itself is equipped to the summoned Gardranda.

But now, there is no Gardranda... and there is no [armor].

"What the hell... no way!

Was that [Wheel of Small and Large Summons] an accessory of its kind to unleash the Summoning Monster?

Because Gardranda is free to go somewhere...

…………

But he looks at me in a hurry, and he looks at me somewhere surprised.

Or that gaze isn't me... it's like it's pouring over my head...

"Les, Ray...... Above my head......"

"... you've had this air before"

It was like this when I was dressed up in a penguin outfit Franklin......

With that in mind, when I put my hand over my head... it felt strange.

"... ugh."

Immediately after that, I felt paralyzed at my fingertips.

Had it not been for the pain off avatar, I would probably have felt the pain.

Bring my hands in front of me that I feel terribly paralyzed...

- There was some weird creature biting at my fingertips.

I don't know what the creature is...... he was a dwarf in SD shape.

He has red copper skin, produces horns on his forehead and is equipped with a brilliantly small-sized, familiar armor on both hands.

That's... unless it's a coincidence...

"............... Gardranda?

Put the creature that was biting at his fingertips down in the palm of his hand and ask.

"Kisher."

... I found that the reply was not humanistic but seems positive.

Why did this happen?... Well, I don't have to think deeply about it. I can tell it's because of this [wheel of big and small summons].

"... I'm just gonna log out and find out"

"It seems better that way..."

"Kisher."

... Gardranda, I don't know what you're talking about.

In conclusion, there were details on the wiki.

[Ring of Small and Large Summons] is a magic item made a long time ago, and although it is rare, they have found about four so far.

The gear effect is "Output adjustment at summons".

If you declare it "minimal" or "shrink" at the time of summons, you can call it low cost instead of weakening the summoning monster.

Conversely, if declared "Extremely Large," "Enlargement," they can strengthen the Summoning Monster instead of increasing the cost.

However, the enhancement seems less useful because the cost increases a few or dozen times and the degree of enhancement is not commensurate with the cost in a ratio of about a tenth of the increased cost.

"So, instead of having little combat capability if you call it" minimal, "the cost is also extremely small. Is that your downside, too?

Nothing particularly happened when I unsubscribed before I logged out.

"Kisher."

"I'll take that as an affirmation. … it's a little bit of a problem that you can call it easy, and you can't even have a conversation"

"Then why not just buy a translation item for a non-human subject organism? I think Gideon's on the market."

"Oh, you have that. I'll look for it. But I don't see Luke using it."

"I don't have to know that."

I see. Luke can do it.

"Anyway, this is going to be one of the items I'm going to get for this."

If I don't choose this, Gardranda's going to resent me, and...?

"Gardranda, where have you been?

"Over the Lord's head."

Again.

Hopefully when you summoned him, did you like it over my head?

...... hmm?

"Hey, nemesis. It tends to be a little numb over my head..."

"Oh. Don't let little Gardranda hold your lord's head just now. I'm eating my hair mocha mocha"

"Stop it!?

Oh no, you were a kosher cannibal!?

You were still after my body.

"Kisher."

"Mm, even I kind of get it. I'm sure you're saying 'delicious'................ Juru. Ray. I need to talk to you about things..."

"I'm not feeding you!?

Because Cannibalism won't be out of style for both of us!!
