Chapter 27 - A Mushroom Is Something That Has Mysterious Power

After entrusting my precious materials to Felipe, I returned to the inn, and just in time Hana waking up.

Hana who just woke up came walking towards my feets, while snorting and wagging its tail, it started going around and round the room.

That's right, let's take Hana for a short walk.

Maybe Hana wanted to go out, and since it's still bright.

「Alright, come here Hana」

When I called Hana after the door was opened, Hana came running to me.

And when I start walking, Hana follows behind me closely.

And so, I took my summoned beast along outside.

「Oh, it's good that you are full of spirit」

Hana and I came to the forest on the side of the town.

Hana starts making it's way through the trees the moment we reach the forest, as if Hana woke up its wild nature.

At a glance it looks like a mini pig, but when I look at its ferocious dash, I'm pleased and convinced that inside of it runs the blood of a wild boar.

There aren't dangerous monsters in this forest, so it's possible to walk without having to worry.

To begin there's almost no dangerous monsters as long as you don't go deep inside.

We will be able to have a carefree walk to our heart's contents. I'm sure that Hana will be pleased eating an acorn.

And that moment, Hana came to me pulling the edge of my clothes.

「What happens, Hana? …You want me to follow you?」

Showing the way, Hana starts to walk steadily.

After following, Hana started to dig the foot of a tree covered with leaves with its short legs

And then after brushing away the fallen leaves with its nose, what appeared under the leaves wasー

「Mushrooms」

Several flat white mushrooms were stealthily growing together.

This is what Hana was smelling?

Let me see.

When I crouch down and try to smell, surprisingly it gave a sweet smell

The smell of the earth, surely it was that.

「You have found something good, Hana」

Hana shakes the tail pleased, and lively it started to munching the mushrooms.

Shit, when I was thinking about taking them home to eat, before I was able to stop Hana, it ended eating almost half of them.

I have failed, but Hana was the one who found them, so it can't be helped.

[Hana?Mage1→3]

It was at that moment that a display was displayed.

Suddenly, such display appeared.

「It can't be, that I canーーsee this?」

I prayed in my mind that I wanted to see Hana's status like I always do with mine.

And thenー.

[Name]Hana

[Race]Pig flower

[Class]Mage 3

[Stamina] 66

[Strength] 89

[Defense] 78

[Magic] 46

[Magic power] 66

[Magic resistance] 66

[Agility] 75

[Skill]Mutation Magic tools mastery

Is this real?

I didn't expect to be able to see the status of my summoned beast.

Basically you can't see the status of other people, but normally I can see the class and level of the people I'm parasitizing.

I wasn't able to see it like this, the ability and even the skills.

I'm able to see the status of the summoned beast in the same way I see my own because I summoned it? It's really useful.

But that was not the only thing that caught my attention.

Why did the level go up now?

Hana's level went up, right after eating the mushroom.

Can it be that Hana's level went up because of the mushroom?

In other wordsー.

「You are great, Hana. It's amazing that you were able to find something like this!」

When the voice of praise resounds in the forest, Hana starts running proudly around me.

If I remember well, you can only level up your class by taking something like the energy that monsters have.

In other words, I can guess that this mushroom is filled with same kind of energy, in other words, experience.

I didn't see something like this before, and such a thing, it has to be considerably rare, because you can gain experience for your class.

It makes you more powerful by only eating it. Is this not the best?

As a parasite, this is something that you can't miss, a gem.

「Alright, let's search to see if there is something else. It's a treasure hunt, Hana」

Taking Hana along, I started to walk around the forest.

While walking, we dug up mushrooms. It was the start of such graceful afternoon.

It would be good to find something more.

I found it.

After walking for a while in the forest, I found in the same way as before a group of mushrooms. It has approximately the same number as the one earlier, and in a similar place, the foot of a tree.

Nonetheless, this mushroom that lets you level up surely has to be rare.

Because we found ten times the amount compared with the other mushrooms but this mushrooms only looked normally delicious, so this is not such a delicious story,

Besides, even though I was delighted before, when you think about it, it only has the experience to let you level up from level one to three, so for me who is level 20, even if I eat it, it will not fill my stomach.

And that's why I decided to give the mushrooms to Hana.

Because if Hana level's up to a certain level, it will be able to fight with monsters, and for that surely it was correct answer to use the mushroom to boost Hana until then.

Also, all the more reason since I can also parasitize Hana.

I wasn't able to parasitize monsters or wild animals, so maybe it's because a summoned beast is a close existence to humans, a unique being.

By the way, when I used the skill communication with god, I tried parasitizing Rux, but it was useless. Although I think that it was natural because it was a image, so would I be able to do it to the genuine Rux?

I'm a little curious about it.

When I was thinking thinking things like that, Hana who was munching and devouring the mushrooms greedily, had its mage class went up to level five.

Even though I parasitized Hana before it started to eat, and even the magnification is active my level didn't go up. As I expected, after becoming high level, it has no meaning to go looking for them given the amount of experience they give.

But it paid off to know that there are things like that.

If I go to a place where it has even more magic element than this forest, I will be able to find something with even more effect and I'm sure that it will give more experience,

I'll put that information in the middle of my head.

It happened just when I thought about finishing the walk in the forest after gaining that type of information.

A small sized animal, a Laurel Wolf appeared from the depths of the forest.

There was only one wolf in my surroundings.

Could it be that I lost sight of the way and it appeared because I entered its territory ?

The wolf approaches towards me fearless while growling.

「Hana, come back, I willー」

Faster than what I said, Hana activated its magic.

Hana began shooting magic arrows, and pierced the Laurel Wolf's shoulder.

The Laurel Wolf raised a "Kyain" cry, and with it, the wolf withdrew.

「Wow. You've done well, Hana」

As if it was displaying proudly its strength, Hana tackles the trunk of the tree.

It was as if Hana was tackling a pole that wrestlers strike in practice, and it was surprisingly powerful.

At glance it looks cute, but it's a summoned beast after all.

It has the sufficient battle power to fight.

If Hana level's up even more, Hana will become a reliable existence.

While anticipating that moment, this time we returned.

It seems that Hana who ate the various mushrooms we found is already filled, and even its stomach was inflated to the point that is was ready to explode. Besides, we have also fought again, so I released the summon of Hana as a rest after the meal.

Moreover, my magic was being slowly consumed while it was summoned. Or rather, that is the main cause. The decreasing amount was not much, but when you do it for so long, the amount isn't insignificant.

When I released the summon, Hana's figure disappeared together with light.

While thinking about eating mushrooms as my dinner, I returned to the town.
