Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"Where are you two going?" Nathan raised his eyebrows.

"A secret." Sera stuck out her tongue while pushing Selena away. "Shoo, shoo. Don't ever follow us or we'll hate you. Let's go, Selena."

"Mhmm." Selena nodded.

It seemed Selena and Sera were getting along just fine. She might have told her about what happened during the mission, including his fourth familiar.

Selena didn't talk a lot after they returned, so she must be frustrated that she couldn't be of any help. After all, Nathan didn't have to forcefully summon his fourth familiar if she was there.

"Oi." Nathan raised his voice, only to be stopped by Risa.

"Young Master. There are times when you shouldn't ask further, you know?" Risa smiled wryly.

Nathan glanced at the two, who had finally exited the room. He chuckled, grabbed a small pouch filled with coins, and put it in Risa's palm. "I just want to tease them."

Risa looked at the pouch. "This… they already bring the money… I guess they can't escape your eyes."

"I know they have the money. I'm giving this money to you. Buy a dress too. Even though we aren't allowed to summon our familiars during the banquet, I just get a sudden craving to see you in a dress." Nathan shrugged.

Risa opened her mouth in surprise. She wanted to say something, but soon smiled. Nathan said those words, but his true intention was just to make sure she didn't feel left out.

"Jeez. Alright, alright. I will show you privately." Risa kissed his cheek while saying, "Alright. I will accompany them right now."

Nathan winked playfully. "How long is it going to take?"

"From what I have heard, they're not planning to create the dress from the start. Instead, they will be buying the already existing dresses and adjusting them. This is the only way for them to finish within a month.

"Besides, there are a lot of people who are trying to get a new dress since the banquet is about to come. Hence, they're planning to search for other cities if the boutique in this town is full."

"I see." Nathan nodded. "Just be careful out there."

"I know, they know. Don't worry about us. You're really such a worrywart. Just wait for a month and you will see us in a dress, alright?" Risa sighed with a smile. "You should be the one who needs to be careful."

"Mhmm. Take care." Nathan waved his hand. Once all of them left, Nathan headed to Vivian's office to get everything sorted before they started going on a mission.

For the next several days, Nathan focused on assisting Vivian with her research. Because the girls were busy with their dresses, Nathan and Vivian isolated themselves in the office, progressing the research as quickly as possible.

As she said, they managed to create a prototype ready in a few days. Of course, he had to return to the Blacksmith Guild once again to meet Zalton.

"So, you're really the Forest Queen's student…" Zalton sucked a cold breath, looking at the cube and the contract on the table.

"You couldn't believe it before?" Nathan chuckled.

"Well, don't you know that your teacher is somewhat special? Don't tell her that you know this from me, but your teacher is rumored to bury herself in her research because she is heartbroken.

"And that her companion right now is the wood… People often call it Morning Wood instead of Forest Queen."

"…" Nathan shook his head. "I will just pretend I have never heard that."

"Of course, she has a good reputation among us dwarves because her research often involves a new type of machinery. That's why our race likes her." Zalton pointed at the contract. "This is the standard contract. If it's anyone else, we will probably take a look at it carefully.

"However, because it comes from her…" Zalton immediately signed it without even bothering to look. "Your teacher is fair, so there's no need to look at the details."

"No wonder my teacher told me to explain what the contract is all about." Nathan shook his head helplessly. "Well, you have to keep everything a secret until it's revealed.

"In addition, she wants you to optimize the design of the prototype. Make sure that the flow of Ena goes according to her instruction.

"Not only that, you will also have to change the design depending on the weapons. This project is for my gun, but it's also for a future project.

"She wants you to create various weapons and a socket for this storage that can be inserted and clipped into the weapon. The details of what she wants are in this letter.

"She will be providing the materials after learning about the designs."

Zalton nodded in understanding. "Sure. That sounds simple enough."

"This is the prototype of the storage, as well as its blueprint. See if you can change it to match the weapons.

Zalton took a glimpse of the blueprint and said casually, "Sure. There's no problem. For your gun, I already have the container. All I need to do is adjust the inner part with this design and material. Anything else?"

"When will you finish the project?" Nathan asked.

"I have been trying a few things after seeing your gun. The prototype should be done this week. After several tests, I should be able to finish it within three weeks.

"As for the uniform, I have been doing it for a long time, so I'm familiar with the process already. It won't take long. Is there a problem?" Zalton asked.

"Well, I might need them within a month, because I have an important fight."

"Oh! Since you allow me to work with your teacher, I will work extra hard and make sure that you get both of them within a month."

Nathan smiled and politely bowed. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zalton waved his hand. "Now, go. I will work on it immediately."

"Ah! Yes. I will not hold you any longer." Nathan nodded and walked away.
