“Alright. Was that all?” I firmed, after I shoved three carriages, multiple luggage chests and a handful of other stuff into my ste.

  “Yes. That is all.” Henry firmed. He wasn’t actually ing, as he would be the one responsible for the town, while both the Lord and Lady were absent. “But I have to say, you skill truly is wonderful. To think an item box could store that much.”

  “Well, it is the upgraded form of the skill.” I said, before ging the subject. “Henry, your cards. Pass them to me for a sed. I’ll put some toploaders onto your cards.”

  “Toploaders? Well, if you say so.” He seemed to question my iions at first, but then agreed.

  As I utting the toploaders onto the cards, I quickly expio him the differeweewo. The biggest one really is how often you summon the monsters, but some might argue that the ability to e back after ‘death’ is better.

  And for those that want a reminder, Henry has a total of four mae monsters. Slot Mae, Steel rotto #2, Steel rotto #1 and Overdrive.

  Spoiler[colpse]After a bit more time, Christina and Brandon came outside, ready to go. And as they were the st ones, we were now ready to go.

  “I’ll summon our ride then.” I announced. “B.E.S. Big Core.”

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Now as always, Big Core was invisible, so no o me and Lua actually saw it. It is surprisingly easy, if you know to look for the blue light of the main engine. Or power source. Whichever it is.

  I called doweleportation beams and began loading my passengers. I had Lua head up first, so she could mahings there. I’m holy super thankful that she came with me, as this was a lot more difficult when I did it solo with the knights. I think I uand why pnes have flight attendants, even outside of serving drinks and stuff.

  First, we loaded the horses. They were the rgest and would take the most space. And they would have to be done o a time. The en were responsible for their horses, and the knights for theirs, so the en had to e back down to get their sed horse as well. I still have no clue how they breed these animals, as they are stupidly calm and don’t react at all evehey get teleported.

  (Brian, you didn’t set out the seats in the back.) Lua sent me a message.

  (Yeah. I know. I’ll do it when I get up there. We have a lot e animals riding with us, so I didn’t want to take up space.) I respoo Lua. I did make some couches with the dungeon which I could set out in the cargo area of Big Core for more seats, but they are currently in my ste.

  up, we got the maids up to the ship. Then st, the noble pair. After we loaded everyone up, I checked up on the knights and en in the bad gave them two couches they could use.

  In terms of seating, I let Brandon take the lead navigator’s seat. It is his first time, and that is the spot for first time flyers. Though we have multiple first time flyers on this ride.

  Lua was, of course, in the lead ons officer’s seat and the captain’s seat was mine. Christina took a seat on the sedary navigator’s seat and the four maids spread to the other seats on the bridge. Sana and Nicole were in the gunner’s seats, while Aneesa and Jenna were in the unicator’s seats. And as stated earlier, the knights and the en were in the back with the horses.

  After I firmed that everyone was ready to go, I took my seat and picked up the mic for the internal PA.

  “Ladies alemen, wele on board BrianAir flight … 001 from Alewatch to Sawyer City. Our estimated travel time is fifteen minutes. Please stay seated during the flight, outside of emergencies, and in case of an emergency, immediately tact either the captain, or the first officer. Please enjoy the flight.” I made a joking flight annou, because why not? What is the point in flying an airship, if you ’t have a bit of fun with it?

  I got some looks from my passengers on the bridge, but nothing more than that. A real captain might ask why there are passengers on the bridge, but this world doesn’t have FAA1Federal Aviation Administration rules so why not? And I’m detly sure that before a certain terrorist attavolving tall buildings and airphe pilots would actually allow passeo take a look at the cockpit of the pne. Well, mine doesn’t have a cockpit as this is a full e.

  Our flight was just as peaceful as expected. Even if we ran into some small bird-monsters, they couldn’t actually do much to Big Core. We would have to run into at least a wyvern for ahreat. And we could just shoot something of that size down. But we didn’t, so no worries.

  As pnned, I stopped Big Core just about 5 kilometers outside the city walls, and we began dismounting the ship. In basically the same order as we came in. First the horses with the knights and en, then the maids, and stly, the nobles. I then took out all of their stuff from my ste and gave it to them. They hooked the horses up to the carriages, got in, and got a move on towards the city.

  I watched until they were all ready to go, before returning to Big Core and flying both Lua and I back to the city. Officially, we never left, so we ’t ehrough the gates without raising questions.

  After we got back, I decided to spend some more time practig. I got some sword practi at the Alewatch guild, but I want some time fic practice, and this was going to be it. While not everyone would arrive today, both the Wats as well as that massive voy from the capital would arrive today. I don’t think I’ll have to greet aoday, but I still want to get the practi now, just in case I’m needed for something else. My clothes even came in. You know, my suit. They did the final adjustments and I now have it in my room. Not in my ste yet, but it will go there soon. I’ll just have to wear it ohen I shove it into ste and put it on from there with the new clothes s ability Tahlia gained.

  But baagic practice, because it finally paid off.

And it is ara skill. Why is it ara skill?

  (Because of rarity.) Laura answered. (And normally, non-attribute magic is racial, so all magic that isn’t attribute magic or racial magic ts as ‘extra’.)

  (... okay. So ara skill isn’t ara skill just because it is extra, but because it is rare?) I asked to firm.

  (Basically. Though the easier way to look at it is that ara skill always requires a base skill for it to be learned. Space magi most cases, is only learned by advanced mages, who have already mastered an attribute magic.) Laura told me. (You could look at it in a simir light to your Summoner’s Unity. That skill is useless unless you use summoning magic, or have another way of perf a summoning. That is why it is ‘extra’.)

  (Yeah, I guess. But that doesly work with space magic, as I don’t have any ic skills.)

  (You do have Mana trol.) Laura reminded. (While not quite the same, Mana trol is basically a requirement for any ic skill.)

  (... basically? Does that mean it isn’t actually required?)

  (Acc to the records, there have been times people have cast spells without the Mana trol skill.) Laura answered. (And even people who’ve gained a magic skill before Mana trol. So while not strictly necessary, almost everyone gains the Mana trol skill before their first magic skill. And racial magic skills are a pletely different thing as well, but Mia would be better at expining that.)

  (Oh. Yeah, I guess I uand. So skills that are more rare, or require another skill to be able to be used at all are ‘extra’.)

  (In short, yes.) Laura firmed.

  So for my extra skills, Space Magid Telekinesis are extra because they are rare and they need Mana trol.

  Summoner’s Unity is extra because it needs summoning magid/or another way to summon something.

  And Dungeon Founder, Summon Water Spirit ah scious are extra because they are rare.

  At least that is what I think.

  “... that is a lot of carriages…” Ria muttered.

  “Sure is.” Lua agreed.

  “Just hoeople are ing?” Alice wondered.

  The four of us were watg into the front yard of the manor from one of the sed storey windoeren’t asked to be present for anything, so we were free to just do anything, as long as we were out of the way.

  But to get back to Alice’s question, the answer was not as many as you would think, based on the number of carriages. They had a ton of maids, cooks, civil officials and various other people. As well as all of the guards they had. If you pare it to the Wat party ing, you really see what I mean.

  Only Brandon and Christina are actual guests for the party, but they still have three carriages and a total of 12 people ing. And they sidered that ‘traveling light’, because they didn’t have to sider things like sleeping arras or anything like that. They would have likely had to triple the number of guards had they been sleeping on the way. Though I think at that point they might have just hired adventurers, but what do I know? I just fly over those issues. Also, speaking of the two, they arrived a little while ago, and have already situated themselves into the house. They had taken the rht o Alice, while their maids were taking up spare spots in the servants quarters. I don’t know where the knights or the en will stay, but not my problem to solve either. I guess I should mention that Jenna actually took a cot, simir to the one Ria is using, to Alice’s room and is sleeping there instead. I guess she used to be Alice’s ‘personal’ maid, so that does check out. And Alice will need some help to get dressed for the party and stuff. She ’t just ‘magic’ her dress on, like Lua . And Lua has Ria, if she needs help. Or me, but I’m not a professional in this stuff. I only really know how to zip up a dress. Don’t ask me to make plicated knots, or beautiful ribbons, please. Or if you do, at least give me time to study up first. And practice as well. … you know what, maybe I’ll just summon a mohat is better at that stuff. That would be easier. … then again, I don’t want to take the easy way out in this. If Lua wants me to tie her hair or something, then I’ll learn how to do it. Yes, I will. I do that much.

  Anyway, back to the guests arriving. First, there was the Earl Bernald Marsh and his wife, Sylvia. Also known as Thomas’ sed daughter and her family. Even their son, Oskar, was there.

  With them, came a duo of boys, about 18 and 15 respectfully. They should be William and Daniel. William is of course Thomas’ son, while Daniel is Christina’s son, aka. Alice’s younger brother. They had both e from the capital, where they were studying in the Royal academy. Both of the boys had brown hair, unlike most of their family members who favor blond colors ae their age differehey seemed like det friends.

  Then there was the fourth daughter, Mariina. I’d seen her already, from Gradius, but now I got a better look at her. She was ie 20s, by my estimation, with medium length blond hair. In her hand was a magic staff taller than she is, with a rge beige magic sto the end of it. I wish Paulina was here with us, so she could tell us more about her, but she was busy with something else. The fifth daughter, Cressida, was sharing a carriage with her sister. Maybe the golem carriages are just better? As far as I know, she is some sort of civil official in the capital, not currently married.

  There were some other noble families as well, but I didn’t know them yet. I know they are barons, by rank, but that is all. I should be introduced in the pre-party tomorrow, so I guess I’ll find out then.

  And st, but not least, was the Royal family member. He was quite the tall male, in his mid twenties. He had a well built, muscur frame, and short cut scarlet red hair. Had he been dressed in anything other than the super fine clothing he was wearing, I’d have guessed that he is an adventurer, not a prince.

  There was no official ‘pre-party’ or anything today. Perhaps because of the long travel, or maybe because of some etiquette or something. Or maybe because of the chaos caused by everyone ing in.

  Luckily, we did find out about the extra VIP guest beforehand, so Thomas and the rest of them were able te a full guest house for the prince. I don’t know how, but I also don’t care.

  For our part, we, Lua and I, were just staying in our rooms. Ria had once again been borrowed for maid duties, and she agreed to go help. It was somewhat funny, seeing her carry two giant luggage chests at the same time, but she has the strength for it, so why not?

  For dinner, I e with a slightly different crew than usually. her Thomas or Elnora were dining with us, as they were eating with His Highness instead. Also, the entire Garner family, who were usually here, were eating at their own house today.

  But we did have some others, who usually weren’t here. Well, they arrived today, so of course they wouldn’t be.

  Mariina and Cressida both joined us. By the way, Alice was eating somewhere else with her family, so she wasn’t here either. So at the table, it was just Mariina, Cressida, Paulina, Lua and I.

  After introdus, and breaking up an almost fight between Mariina and Paulina, we all sat down to eat together.

  I, and Lua, were the ‘odd man out’ at this table, so we got a lot of questions about it. This led to some expnations about us, well mainly me. Lua is just aension of me. Well, officially that is. She is just as special, if not moreso, as me. She was just able to keep it a secret. Well, mostly a secret. Her wings are kind of a giveaway that something strange is going on with her.

  “So you are the summoner, huh. I see, I see…” Mariina said, after she heard some things about me. She has heard about me? From where? “What are you able to summon, if you don’t mind me asking?”

  “Do you want the list?” I jokingly asked.

  “Yes, if possible.” She answered, pletely serious.

  “... wow. Yeah, let’s not do that.” I instantly took back my offer. Even if I just add my monsters, that is still over 1000 cards.

  “Why not?” She asked.

  “Because it would be too long. I have a lot of things I summon, as some of the people on this table ensure.”

  Of course Lua is the ohat knows it the best, but Paulina has some level of an idea on just how many monsters I have.

  “Really? Would you at least give me a number?” She asked.

  “... sure, if you want. I have an arsenal of around 1000 unique monsters I summon.” I answered holy.

  “... could you repeat that? I think I misheard.” Mariina requested.

  “I summon about 1000 unique monsters.” I repeated.

  “... that … is that even …” Instead of yelling out, Mariina seemed to fall deep into thought.

  “Amazing, isn’t he?” Paulina gloated, as if my power was in any way hers to gloat about. “And they are super strong. They take down A-rank monsters like they are nothing.”

  “... they take on A-ranks?” Mariina questioned.

  “Not all of them.” I specified. “Only the stro of them.”

  “... yes. Of course. … and how many of these ‘stro’ would you happen to have?”

  “Well, I have 26 monsters with 3000 or more attack.” I answered. “Oh, that 3000 is just a number I use to differentiate the offensive power of monsters I summon.” I specified. “From the two times I’ve faced A-rank monsters, 3000 seems to be enough to kill A-rank monsters, but I’m not sure about how they would fare against stronger monsters.”

  “Twenty … six? … This is… I … That. that be?” Mariina was muttering. Did she break?

  “He also use Telekinesis.” Paulina said. “Did you learn it already?”

  “...” While Mariina clearly reacted to aulina said, she didn’t actually respond to it. She must have broken.

  After that we kept eating our dinner. It was actually surprisingly more quiet after that, possibly because Paulina could no lage in any kind of BS with Mariina, not that the two of them had been too bad, after their initial little scuffle.

  I have a lot of first meetings ing tomorrow, so off to bed with me. No Level Up!s today, by the way. We take a few days break from those.

  So for now, good night.
