Section A: Chapter 30: Guladan (Lucina)

Holding the summoning stone, Lucina was excited: "Lusa, will you come with me to the backyard?"

Without waiting for Lusa to answer, Lucina took her by the hand and ran down the stairs. Rushing straight to the backyard, Lucina, who smashed open the wooden door, couldn't wait to jump into the snow.

"Sister, this is ......" Lusha behind her quietly closed the door.

Lucina crouched down, the deep snow already submerging the knees of her short body: "Hmm. Summoning here...... It should be fine, right?"

Lucina had never used a summoning stone in any other world, which made her a little nervous. What's more, it's been a long time since the last time the summoning stone was used.

She had only used it once, to summon the gargoyle Dafiar, a demon given to her by Manus...... Gazing closely at the gray stone, Lucina felt her heart beat violently.

There is plenty of earth to summon Guladan outdoors...... With such an abundance of natural elements and summoning stones, even the master and the demon were separated by four worlds—she struggled to remember what Manus had taught her.

It should be fine...... Lucina thought for a moment: if you really can't do it, go ask Cyberdart.

"Sister?" Lusa pulled the corner of Lucina's coat.

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"The summoning stone has been engraved with a summoning rune...... Can it still be modified?" Lusa was silent for a moment before asking.

"Can't...... Probably. Lucina was a little unsure: "Maybe somehow, the summoning runes on the inscription will be removed, right? I don't know much about this matter......

"That's ......," Lusha's tone was a little timid. From the very beginning, she seemed a little strange.

Sure enough, because of the letter and the people who followed us, we were a little scared, right......?

Lucina, who had decided to play the role of a good sister, patted her on the head, "I'm a little scared, Lusa? ”

"Huh?" Lusha looked up in surprise, "Sister actually has a belt?"

Why are you so surprised...... Looking at Lusha's reaction, Lucina suddenly felt a little lost: she always felt that her good image in front of Lusha was subtly shaken.

"That'...... Of course. Lucina smiled awkwardly: "My sister has promised you...... You see, my sister has never gone back on or forgotten what she promised Lusa?"

"Thank you......" Lusha lowered her head a little embarrassed, "I thought my sister didn't buy it today." ”

"Aha......" Lucina was a little embarrassed: "I wanted to give it to you when I entered the house, but I forgot ......"

"What are you doing now?" Lusha asked suddenly, patting the snow off her cloak.

The creatures who sign the summoning contract usually have their own lives. Unlike companion emissaries, who always accompany their masters, many combat emissaries usually only appear with their master when they are summoned by their master.

"Demons...... Lucina couldn't help but say as she looked at the snow falling on her black-gray cloak, "Anyway, Sister Nasatia should have turned into a stream of water and stayed in the flowing lake near her home...... There are a lot of water spirits living in it. ”

"Hmm. Lusha was silent for a moment, and then proposed, "Or, go and play with Mommy and Till." ”

The howling cold wind of "......" was no longer as fierce as it had returned, and Lucina stared at the snow swept up by the cold wind: if the breath of winter came, what kind of attitude would the snow be swept up?

D'Afial's words...... I don't know where this gargoyle usually goes?" Lucina felt a little sorry for the gargoyle Dafial: because Lucina was not the one who summoned it, it never bothered to take care of herself.

"Well, it's Guladan in the end—" At the mention of Guladan, Lucina, who had just been distracted, fell into extreme excitement again: "Speaking of which, I can't wait—I have to hurry up and summon it!"

Running excitedly to the middle of the courtyard, Lucina clutched the stone.

"Sister...... Do you remember how to use the Summoning Stone?" followed Lusa.

"Hmm...... Almost, right?" Lucina was going to try it first; Step back a bit, Lusa. ”

Gently touching the summoning stone with her fingers, Lucina closed her eyes tightly and concentrated all her mental energy.

Guladan ...... Calling out the name of the demon in her heart, she constantly adjusted the flow of her mana network so that it condensed into the summoning stone that her fingertips touched.

I can feel the transmission of mana...... Out of eagerness, Lucina accelerated the transmission of mana.

After several minutes of continuous casting, Lucina finally felt the completion of the spell inscription. Slightly tired from casting, he opened his eyes: the Gilardan Signet of Summoning had been inscribed on the Summoning Stone.

"Wow! done!" Lucina excitedly shook off a small pool of snowflakes piled up on her head, "Then we will have Guladan with us in the future—come, Lusa will try to summon Nallo too?"

"Sister......" Lusha just looked down at the Nalo's summoning stone, "How do you use this thing?"

"Oooh...... This one......" Lucina looked at the Guradan Summoning Stone in her hand: "The Summoning Stone that Cyberdat gave us is the kind of permanent additive type, and the Naluo Summoning Stone has been injected with the corresponding contract sharing spell by Cyberdart...... So you just need to hold it in your hand and channel the mana to activate it. ”

"Is that so......" Lusha nervously gripped the stone.

"yes, then deliver mana - don't send too little mana, it won't be recognized. ”

A moment later, a faint green glow glowed from Lusha's hand. She opened her palms in amazement—the incantations engraved on the summoning stone shimmered with emerald green elemental energy. The spell flickered for a few seconds, and the summoner shattered into splinters, sliding through his fingers into the snow on the ground.

Nalor flickered from an emerald green light and landed on Lusa's shoulder.

"Well! That's it. Lucina thought for a moment, then added, "The way to summon it is the same as to summon my sister - and it requires less mana." ”

"Huh?" said Lusa, who suddenly disappeared as she disappeared.

"Ah, that's normal...... Lucina patted her head, "I forgot to tell you, Lusa...... Nalo is the messenger of Cyberdart, and has no contractual relationship with you. Therefore, it will take a few hours for your contract with it to stabilize. ”

"Oh......" Lusha was a little disappointed.

"That'...... It's finally the moment!" Lucina coughed, clasping her hands around the summoning stone. The ice-blue light flickered, and as the shattered stone slid down his fingertips, the two-meter-tall Guladan appeared with the light.

Guladan's body size can be adjusted by Lucina, and at its maximum, he can reach a height of eight meters.

"Oooh! Ice blue Guladan!" Lucina was excited: every time she summoned Guladan, she would reassemble her body according to the type of rock in the area.

"Roar?" said Guladan didn't seem to figure out what was going on.

Guladan will only say one word: Lucina.

"It's me!Lucina!?" Lucina shook her arms, "It's been a long time, Guladan!"

"Dew...... Xena?" Guladan turned his head.

After a long pause to react, Gulladan let out an excited cry and picked up Lucina.

At the beginning, Guladan always couldn't control his strength when venting his emotions, and as Aya, who was very afraid of pain, Lucina did not suffer less.

But after five years, Guladan has never been rusty...... Lucina was happily rubbed against a large rock. Lifted high and looking at Guradan's blue eyes, Lucina laughed excitedly. Guladan also let out a clumsy but laughing cry.

"Whew...... It's been a long time since I've felt so relieved......" Lucina, who had been put down again, closed her eyes and leaned against the stone demon's wide body.

Guladan raised his hand awkwardly and stroked Lucina's back.

Now I can rest assured...... With Guladan by his side, he suddenly felt that there was no need to be afraid of anything.

"Hey...... I'd love to stay with you a little longer, though. Lucina hugged the stone demon with great satisfaction: "But it takes a long time to build a connection with this world...... Shall we see you tomorrow?"

The stone demon nodded, and his figure gradually dissipated.

"I've been silent since just now, Lucia ......" Lucina, who shook off a little snow, and was still very excited, ran back to Lusa: "Now, do you see the ice-blue Gulada! It's so handsome and indescribable!"

"Let's go back to our room, Lusa, we'll have to think about whether we're going to leave here...... Dinner - your favorite chocolate cake?" she said, taking Lusa's hand.

After taking a step, the resistance in her hand reminded Lucina that her sister hadn't followed.

Lusha...... What's wrong?" Lucina turned to look at her trembling sister, the sound of rapid breathing coming from under her hood.

The body seemed to lose its strength, and Lusha fell straight into the snow. Hurriedly hugging her sister, Lucina vaguely saw a dark purple glow in the hood.
