I Became the Youngest Summoner in the Strongest Guild

27. Arcana Online

Checking the map, it's around here.

"Where's the red roof?"
"Kyuung."

Looking in the direction Yong-yong pointed, I saw a building with a red roof that looked like a residential house.

In front of the building was the symbol of the Frey Guild, a wolf pattern. When I grabbed the doorknob, a message popped up.

[Only Frey Guild members can enter.]
[Welcome, Yuna.]

Opening the door and entering, I saw an interior that was 180 degrees different from the exterior.

It was decorated with lavish ornaments, but the strange thing was that there were many rooms but no doors at all.

As I was looking at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, I heard a voice from inside.

"Oh my, who are you?"
A sister with blue hair and golden eyes, wearing a mage's robe and a large hat.

"Hello! I'm Yuna, who just joined the Frey Guild!"
"Kyaa! You're the new member I've only heard about!? Nice to meet you! My name is Hecate!"

She hugged me mercilessly with her voluptuous chest, and wow, it's incredible.

After feeling the soft sensation for a while, she let me go and told me to wait on the sofa for a moment before disappearing in an instant.

While sitting on the sofa and looking around the interior, I heard Rea unni's voice.

"You're here?"

Rea unni appeared wearing silver armor.

"Hello!"
"Was it hard getting here?"

She came close and stroked my head, and her touch was warm and soft, just like in reality.

"No, it didn't take long because I used the bear taxi."
"Bear taxi?"

After chatting about various things, she said they would throw a welcome party for me tonight. I told her I would clear the quest I received from Erica unni and come back, then left the guild.

On the way to the information guild.

As I was looking at various items on the street stalls, I saw something that caught my eye.

[??? Bead]
I don't know what it is.

A bead that doesn't show any abilities.

But why do I want it?

"Mister! How much is this bead?"
"How much were you thinking?"
"Huh?"

Caught off guard for a moment, I thought and then spread out three fingers, and he showed a contemplative face.

"Tsk. 30,000 is a bit low, but well, since you're cute, I'll sell it to you."
"30,000...? Th-thank you!"

I paid 30,000 gold and received the bead, feeling a bit disappointed.

I was thinking 300,000, but 30,000? Thanks to that, I saved money.

As I was examining the bead while heading to the information guild, it reacted with a bright light.

[Reacting with the Divine Dragon Shrine Maiden's Robe and Divine Dragon's Bell, hidden information is revealed.]
[You acquire the Divine Dragon's Bead.]

«Divine Dragon's Bead»
If it meets the Yeouiju, something special might happen?

Information appeared, but what is this?

No, more importantly, Yeouiju?

The Yeouiju I got using hundreds of thousands of points before!?

I had completely forgotten about it, what a coincidence.

"I guess I'm really lucky after all! Right!?"
"Kyuuung..."

Strangely, Yong-yong seems to be acting cautious, what's going on?

I opened my inventory to take out the Yeouiju, but it's not there!?

"What!? Where did the Yeouiju go!?"
"Kyuung!"
"Forget about such trivial things!? No, where did the Crystal of Light go too!?"

Maybe because I hadn't organized my inventory in a while, there were a few items that had disappeared, but of all things, the Yeouiju was gone.

As I was rummaging through my inventory with a dumbfounded face, Yong-yong urged me.

Let's go to the information guild quickly, it says.

"Why is it acting like this today?"
"Kyuuung!"
"Alright! I'm going! I'll go, so stop nagging!"

The information guild located in the commercial city of Thalassa is disguised as an ordinary cafe.

And it's a cafe that sells popular limited-edition menu items.
The method to use the information guild is simple.

Enter the cafe and order an 'Iced Hot Chocolate'.

"Would you like the ice separately?"
"Put half in and give me half separately, please."
"Understood, customer."

They told me to wait for a moment, and as I was sitting in my seat, an employee said there was a problem with the menu and asked me to follow.

Following the employee, we went through a secret door and down some stairs, where I saw a reception room.

Inside the reception room was an elderly person.

"Grandmother!? We meet here!"

The grandmother I chatted with earlier is the master of the Thalassa information guild?

At that moment.

She changed her appearance with a bright light, and she's an elf?

A golden-haired, golden-eyed elf stood up and introduced herself, bowing her head.

"I greet the benefactor who saved the World Tree."
"W-wait a moment!?"

Flustered, I asked her to raise her head, and only then did she look at me with a bright smile.

"Thanks to you, the World Tree was able to survive. Thank you so much."
"It was nothing."
"How can you say it was nothing? Without the World Tree, elves cannot be born."

But suddenly, I became curious about something.

"If you're born from the World Tree's fruit, isn't the World Tree your mother? Why don't you call it mother?"
"The World Tree itself plays the role of a mother. We do consider it a mother, but the World Tree is the World Tree."

She answered with a bright smile, but I don't understand what she means.

"Unlike humans, we're born from fruit without going through a natural birthing process..."

She kept muttering something, and I just nodded and smiled, but the explanation didn't end.

"The biological parents of an apple are the crab apple tree or the golden delicious apple tree, but genetically..."

I took out the mail from my inventory and handed it to her, and only then did she stop talking and receive it from me.

She opened the envelope, checked the contents, and burned it on the spot.

"Thank you, benefactor. If you have any inconveniences while living in the city, please contact us anytime."

After saying goodbye, I left through a different entrance and came out not in a cafe, but in a general store.

An employee spotted me and guided me to the exit.

When I went outside, the sun was setting, and I started walking to return to the guild.

I headed towards the guild's hideout along the road.

Arriving at the hideout, the moment I grabbed the doorknob and turned it, firecrackers went off.

'Pababang!'

"Welcome to the Frey Guild!"

People welcoming me.

Led by Rea unni, the guild master of the Frey Guild, there was stalker Sasha unni, Hecate unni, and...

A pervert with red hair and exposed upper body. No, a tsundere.

"Tsundere!?"

I pointed at the tsundere in surprise, and he was surprised too.

"You're the kid from earlier. No, who are you calling tsundere!"

He introduced himself as Balak while showing off his muscles.

Balak, showing off his muscles, the symbol of manhood!
I asked the question you must ask when you see someone with a good body.

"How much do you lift!?"
"In reality, I've hit 600, and in the game..."

While we were chatting about muscles, a sister wearing nun's clothing hugged me from behind, separating me from the tsundere.

"Shh. It's not good for your emotional education to talk with such a muscle maniac."
"Who are you calling a muscle maniac!? You fake!"
"As I've said before, God's words are..."

After they talked for a while, a sister with silver hair and blue eyes introduced herself as Aria.

Excluding me, there are five guild members in total, is this all?

"Are there only five guild members in total?"
"No. There are two more, but they're away on a mission, so unfortunately we received word that they can't come."

Then it's seven in total. No, now it's eight including me.

It really is an elite small guild.

"Well then, now that Yuna is here, shall we start the welcome party!?"

With those words, I grabbed the glass in front of me.

"Drink!"
"Wet it!"
"Pour!"

Led by the stalker, no, Sasha unni and the voluptuous chest, no, Hecate unni, a drinking party began.
But why do I have apple juice...?

"Where are you, my child."

Coming out of the dragon's lair, I looked up at the sky and then down at the ground.

The ground was full of countless monsters.

An army of monsters easily exceeding hundreds of thousands.

"Last time, we couldn't find you because the numbers were insufficient, but this time will be different. Wait just a little longer, my child."

With a single gesture, numerous monsters began to move.

There was only one order.

To find our child.

What happens to other beings doesn't matter.

I left a mark, but seeing that it's not activating, someone must have interfered.

To try to take our child away.

Dying a thousand times, no, ten thousand times wouldn't be enough.

We should start searching from places where many humans gather.

First, yes.

The city that humans call the commercial city.

'Thalassa'
