Summoning at Random

Episode 48: A Night of Fire

"Is it okay around here?

"Right. It would be big enough."

Ling Ji and Miliez walked like wandering through the woods, but eventually found enough squares to make camp and decided to light a fire there.

Honestly, there are circumstances where hunger has sometimes come to its limit and I didn't feel like walking any further.

I'll be ready to collect firewood.

"Oh ok...... I just wanted to say it wouldn't be the same thing again, would it?

Don't let the boulders leave you alone in these woods. "

Ling Ji asked Miliers to collect firewood, as he tried to create a line to prevent foreign enemies with light magic, just as Oraine was doing, but Miliers looks reluctant about it.

I know it's not that I don't like working otherwise, but it's not impossible for anxiety to solicit for an exchange similar to when Ling Ji's automagically transferred me to this forest. If the same thing happens when you're gathering firewood away from him, Ling Ji will transfer somewhere and only Miliers will be left behind.

"Ugh, that's... there's no choice.

Ask as far as you can gather with one hand while holding the hem "

"Oh man..."

Not to be separated by metastatic magic, Miliez worked to collect firewood beside him getting ready for the junction while grabbing Ling Ji's hem just as he had walked so far.

Of course, because one hand is blocked by grabbing the hem, firewood will be picked up and collected with one hand, which is inefficient.

Along the way, it became a hassle and I started throwing the firewood I picked up near the center of the camp. It was not surprisingly a bad choice because we would eventually collect it there.

After preparing for the junction, Ling Ji also helped collect firewood, so there was enough firewood in the center of the square to keep it overnight.

"This is the place."

That said, Miliers set his index finger on fire toward the firewood.

It wasn't all the dry trees convenient to light the fire, but it was due to the high firepower of the fire she set off that came on fire lightly.

If you take it from her, who is an expert in fire magic, there is no creation.

"So, here's the problem..."

"Hmm?"

Ling Ji has spoken with a strange face to Miliers, who has finished lighting the fire.

To the seriousness of it, Miliers accidentally took a correct posture and listened.

"Can you cook?

"Gu!?"

To the very straightforward inquiry, Miliers groaned as he pulled his face together.

Though Miliers is impressed on one side, such as being the Four Heavens King, the Deputy Captain of the Kingsguard, or the Magic Instructor, she is a distant relative of Leonora, the Demon King, and of considerable fame among the Demons.

It's not good enough to say that I had a decent cooking experience.

I can make tea because I also serve as a sidekick to Leonora, but when it comes to making a meal, I can't fathom it with that experience.

Therefore, I had no choice but to answer that with regret.

"... I've never done it with hatred.

I think I could cut the meat and cook it. "

"Kah."

As I followed him, I showed him with my wings spread out just because the raven said you were up to it.

Although no one expects a raven.

"You have no choice. Then I'll do it, but don't expect too much."

"What?"

◆ ◆ ◆

"Mm..."

Miliez sipped a spoonful of soup from the vessel handed to him, raising his voice.

"What do you say?

Ling Ji asks me what she thinks anxiously.

He is someone who doesn't care about something, but he has cooked meals, and if he doesn't answer with due courtesy, the name of the Four Heavens King will be abolished. Having thought of it that way, Miliers honestly shared his thoughts.

"... Normally, I think it's delicious"

"Well, good."

To Miliers' words, Ling Ji approached his own meal as if he were relieved.

In fact, Ling Ji's cooking is not that good. It's delicious, and the shape of the vegetables is snoring.

Miliers' thoughts are also not "normally delicious" but "normal. (If you insist on either tasty or unsavory) Delicious."

But hunger should be said to be the best spice, for Miliers today it was just incredibly gratifying to be eaten.

Only the sound of chewing silently for a while echoed into the dark woods.

Occasionally, the charcoal of the fireworks plays patsy, shaking the shadows of the two of them.

"If you say so..."

It was Miliers who broke the silence.

"? What's going on?

"I wanted to ask you one thing.

I heard you're from the same world as Master Henri, is that true?

"Oh, from what Henri told me, I suppose... what's wrong with that?

"No, I only heard from His Majesty about that one.

I heard you chose this world when you had the chance to return to it.

It was strange that you wanted to go back to the original world until you tried the gods. "

"It's..."

Pressing Ling Ji's words with his hand in an attempt to answer something, Miliez supplements the words.

"Of course, circumstances will vary from individual to individual, and you won't be able to say it at all.

However, since I was the first to hear about it, I had a preconceived notion that this world was better. "

"You didn't think about which world was better or worse.

Honestly, it's a long story, and it's not something you can decide to be clear about.

It's just that at least the world I was born and raised in is the one over there.

So he thinks the world he's supposed to be in is that world too.

Besides, my family's over there. "

"Right... right.

I guess that's right. "

Miliers had sensed that his own master, Leonora, wanted to take Ling Ji into his own country in front of him.

Therefore, I wanted to confirm his feelings for the original world, but first I was satisfied with the answers obtained, so as not to pursue them any further.

Because the foundation of the answers returned is not so pebbly, I felt hesitant to poke around there. Doing that is going to distort the mind of the person in front of you......

"Everyone would say that the land where they were born and raised is the best"

Standing in an exotic land far from their homeland, the two are in flames side by side.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Can I ask you one more thing?

"Oh."

"Sure, the explanation I heard before was that you have another nasty skill."

To Miliers' words, Ling Ji nodded.

Frequent automagic is noticeable, but there is another skill in his skills that is troubling to use.

"You mean random subpoena possession?

"Yes, that's it.

I just figured, can you use that to break the current state of wandering in this forest?

"Cheng Cheng... it depends on your luck, but it's worth a try"

Random Summoning Possession is a skill that allows Ling Ji to use the abilities of those he has met.

That seems to be a great ability to ask, but there is little use at a time when the target is random without being able to be specified at will.

At any rate, some opponents may be negative rather than positive.

Very not something you can use during battle. Strongly speaking, it would be about the same as using it in a pinch or eight.

But it wasn't a bad story to try at this time, not on the battlefield.

No one I've ever met has ever been able to use metastatic magic, but it would help a lot if I at least possessed the ability of someone with a good sense of direction to know the direction alone.

"All right, let's try.

Random Summoning Possession "

Just as it was used before, a translucent figure emerges slightly above Ling Ji and is assimilated to be inhaled.

Ling Ji's hair dyed silver and her robe was wrapped in 3D footage by magic over her current gear.

I know it overlaps the characteristics of the summoned person, but I remember this outfit.

"Is this possible that my abilities were possessed?

Yes, it was Miliers in front of me.

"... to no avail."

"... right"

"Kah."

I just copied Miliers' ability to be here already, and it doesn't do me any good to break the status quo.

If there's anything you can do, you'll be doing it all the time.

"Oh man, you had no luck.

Do we have to explore this forest in the tunnel? "

"It's not nice."

"No, I'm not blaming you...

Nevertheless, I was wondering if my consciousness would shift that way when it comes to possession, but that doesn't change anything in particular.

What the hell kind of principle is that?

What happens if you use magic in that state?

Can you even use my flame-marionette?

"Uh, like this, I guess"

Following Milieus, who inquired to delude him that he had taken a form to blame against his intentions, Ling Ji tried to exercise his magic.

I saw it scattered during the other game so I couldn't do it on my own or imitate it, but now he can use it more than usual.

Almost the same level of flaming mannequins rise above the fireworks as Miliers made them.

"Hmm, that's a big deal.

Some of the details are sweet, but it's generally a passing score. "

Later, until the effect time of the random summons possession expired, she was checking the behavior of Ling Ji's made marionette.

If the effect of the skill expires, Marionette can no longer maintain its existence and disappears... yes the two of them were thinking.

"Is that it?"

"... why?

But Marionette still stands on the spot, even when Ling Ji's hair color returns to black and the equipment that was built with magic disappears.

"Would you turn it off once and try making it again?

"Ah, oh. Okay."

As Miliers asked, Ling Ji erased the marionette once and built it again.

The feeling at that time is much smoother than that of him, although it is duller than it was earlier when he was possessing Miliers' abilities.

"This can't be..."

"What's going on?

Miliez is wary of reasoning, but Ling Ji doesn't know why and is confused.

But Miliers shook his neck sideways with a rugged face and withdrew his inquiry.

"No, let me think for a while.

I don't want to say anything inadvertent with speculation. "

"... ok.

Well, let me know when you find out what's clear. "

"Oh, okay"
