Chapter 37: Stepsisters battle and level up
Chapter 37: Stepsisters battle and level up
Now, I'm going on a night hunt with Mel and the others. I'll light up the area with my light spell.
"""Oh!"""
I hear the three of them say in admiration.
"So this is the light? It's certainly going to help us when we hunt at night"
"It's actually a big help. How do people fight without it?"
"They get night vision skill and stuff. Nii-chan"
"But since you're the only target, light magic is recommended now"
Hee, I didn't know...that players can also get the night vision skill.
"Mirai-chan has light magic too, so should she use it?"
"Leave it to me"
Mirai suddenly took the turn. Then use it from the beginning. I thought so, but I was more concerned than that.
"What are you going to do about the party?"
"We have some friends who play this game, so we'll probably form a party with them, right?"
Well, if you can do that, that's the best. But,
"Are you sure? You don't hunt with them today"
"We have permission, so it's fine. Besides, we'll all be saved if we jump through the levels"
That's not so bad. Gray reacted.
"Looks like we're here. What do you want to do first?"
"We'd like to fight at first, so I'd like you to reduce the number and leave a couple of them to us"
"Understood. Lily, don't wipe them all out"
I'll keep an eye on Lily.
"What!? Why only Lily!?"
"Because you're the most risky"
"Muu"
When Ion tells the truth, Lily gets upset. Mel laughs at that.
"Huhu, you seem to be enjoying the game"
"Thanks to you. Gray, Kotetsu, Konoha. Please attack first"
I said so and they pounced on the prey, which they had already locked on to with their night vision.
And then three wolves appear within our range of vision. The first wolf.
"Lilly, stop. Ion, take one"
"I got it"
"Mumuu!"
Lilly is not happy, but I hope she will be patient. Ion kills one wolf. Now there are two left.
"As ordered"
"It's looking great..."
"Lisa-chan, the enemy is coming"
"Yeah! Good! I'll take care of it!
"I'll take care of the other one. Mirai-chan, please support me"
"Okay. Leave it to me"
With that, the three of them began their battle. The first one was Lisa, who was, in a word, dynamic. She charged in, ready to take damage and punched and kicked the wolf while using her skills. Naturally, she took some damage, but Mirai quickly recovered her.
As for Mel, this was a typical sword fight. She uses her sword to block the wolf's attacks and then attacks where there is a gap. This is a technique I used to play in a game I used to play. Apparently, you can't move for a few seconds after repelling an attack. I learned something good.
"It was a contrasting battle"
"Lisa-chan requires the aid and labour of others"
Mirai looked like she was in trouble. Oh, Lisa is getting mad at Mel.
And Gray and the others are coming back. It looks like they're done. Looks like Mel and the others got a level up.
"We can do the dismantling, right?"
"Go ahead. I've beaten a lot of them"
"Thanks. Lisa-chan, help me with this"
"Alright!"
When the dismantling was finished, Gray looked up. The bats are next.
"It looks like the bats are here, so I guess I'll fight too"
"I...don't have any attack magic..."
Mirai is depressed. Yes? I thought she should take it, but apparently she can't get it. I heard later that the only magic that a priest can acquire is light magic. In other words, it seems that I have no choice but to defeat it.
"Please"
At Mel's request, Konoha attacked the bats coming from the sky first. The remaining bats were taken out by us. I like to use lightning magic rather than fire magic when dealing with bats. The magic itself is fast and hard to dodge. I also like the beauty of lightning at night.
Once the bats are safely killed, Mel and the others level up again. That was fast. I myself have leveled up my lightning magic.

And now for Lily's favorite food. A horde of boars. There are about 20 of them. That's a lot today.
"We're in a legion, so that's why there are so many"
"This is not good"
"No, we can afford it"
"""Eh?"""
The three seem to be wondering, but it's more evidence than theory.
"Lily, it's your turn"
"Leave it to me, Takuto"
Lily dives into the flock of boars.
"Yaa!"
Lily swung her sword and the boars were blown away. It's a familiar sight for us. And the usual scene.
"Wait! Meat!"
Lily chases the boars around. When the three of them saw the scene...
"What is this?"
"Great..."
"Good. I want to do that as soon as possible"
They were stunned and Lisa seemed to be longing for that battle. Well, it's not hard to see why.
Now that the boar hunt is over, it's time to go to the Young Tree Forest. From here, it became my normal hunt. That didn't change after we reached the Desnia river. But before we hunt Desnia, I cook. When Mel ate the food I cooked, she shouted.
"I can't believe this has happened to Sei-kun without me knowing...my older sister's dignity is in serious jeopardy!"
When we lived together, my step mother and Kayo-nee used to cook together, but when I started living alone and learned to cook part-time, it was a big deal to Kayo-nee.
She said she was going to get the cooking skill and I was going to help her with that.
"I will never lose to cooking as an older sister!"
Yes, yes, please do your best~.
After that, we went hunting for Desnia. We hunt Desnia and get water-based stones. Actually, there was something I wanted to try. I'm currently collecting water-based stones for weapons, but I also need water-based stones for something else I want to try. So I'm going to get the water-based stones and the materials for Desnia.
Every time we hunt a Desnia, the three of them who haven't done anything will level up. By the way, there is no level up for me. Sad.
After that, it's time for Lisa and Mirai to go to bed and we return to the town. This has been proven to be effective in Legion, with the help of Ruin-san and others. And here's where the space-time magic levels up.

Then we parted ways in town, as Mel was going to meet up with her friends. Now, I'm off to do some fun experiments.

Author note:
Mel and others are still beginners, so I could write about their activities. Sorry about that.
Next time, it will be the third summon. I've also included a flag, so I guess it's obvious what the next summoner will be. I hope you enjoy it.
