One week later.
Nanahoshi completed the magic circle.
It was a magic circle almost like cardboard, with five pieces of paper layered together.
Each of those was drawn separately and then they were glued together with some kind of paste.
While Cliff and Zanoba were watching over, I started to pour magic power into it.
My magic power was being sucked out continuously.
The magic circle started to release light.
A radiant light.
The room was illuminated almost like broad daylight.
Inside the light. The shape gradually started to appear.
By the time the light had settled, something from the other world had been summoned to this world.
A PET bottle.
It has no label or cap, it's a PET bottle with a simple shape.
"Oh, this is amazing isn't it."
"What is this?? Glass? It's different?? More..."
Zanoba and Cliff couldn't hide their excitement at seeing a 500 ml PET bottle for the first time.
Elinalise and Julie as well, were peeking with very interested faces.
Nanahoshi as well, after seeing the thing summoned, she clenched her first, and in a small voice whispered, "good, good."
Looking at the PET bottle.
It's nothing but a PET bottle.
Even so it's a PET bottle.
In that moment we knew with certainty that this world and our previous world were connected.
It was an inorganic substance that's not a living being, an object with an exceedingly simple structure.
However, something that doesn't exist in this world was summoned here.
"It's a success isn't it."
I called out to Nanahoshi with those words.
And then she deeply nodded.
Very pleasantly.
"Yeah, it's a success, with this we can finally proceed to the next phase! A magic circle that uses a layered structure, if I continue following through with this, most likely it'll be able to summon anything. If there's more organization put into the magic circle, just by changing the second and third pieces of paper and..."
And then Nanahoshi turned back and looked at me.
She avoided my gaze and made a face full of retribution.
"...I'm sorry about that. I... I've depended on you."
"It's give and take right? Next time, if I'm in trouble please help me out as well?"
"...Of ...Of course."
A meek Nanahoshi sure is a good thing.
After suddenly taking a look, Elinalise was staring over here without moving.
"Somehow you seem intimate don't you."
"Elinalise-san, just like that, you always tie things together to love affairs quickly."
"It's between a man and woman after all. But, that isn't very good you know."
Mother-in-law's eyes were shining.
Even though I don't have any intention of cheating.
Even though Sylphy knows about today.
"I guess so, they are newly-weds after all, it would be terrible if his wife misunderstood."
Nanahoshi took one step away.
Elinalise laughed with a smile and put her arm around Nanahoshi's shoulder.
"Ufufu, there's no need to be that bothered by it. That's right! Let's go to a bar today! Of course it's this lady's treat!"
Nanahoshi let out a bitter smile to Elinalise's proposal.
Normally she would have made a bluntly reluctant face as she refused it.
However, well, she can't really refuse today.
"It can't be helped can it. But, with that we'll call it even with you all."
"Of course, right Cliff?"
Cliff who was squeezing and clutching the PET bottle turned around after being called out.
"Eh? Ah, that's right! Yeah, we can call it even. But, since you're considerably excellent, next time, it would be good if you can lend your power to my research as well!"
With those words, Elinalise giggled with a smile.
