But, nothing strange thus far.
In the first place, the magic circle we made doesn't have that kind of power.
We spent a long time gaining experience to prevent that from happening.
It'll work.
It's fine; it'll work.
"...!"
Light glows brighter.
Then, it begins to dim.
Dong.
A soft noise.
Magic flow quickly ceased.
Light disappears from the magic circle.
"..."
Middle of the magic circle.
A green object.
A pretty round thing patterned black and green.
A shiny, watery item from earth, in patterns of black and green.
A watermelon.
"Success!"
"Awesome!"
Nanahoshi stands up, a victory pose.
"Congratulations, Shisho!"
"We did it!"
Cliff and Zanoba applause cheerfully.
"Say..."
Cliff approaches the watermelon in anticipation and pokes it.
"Green and yellow, what an inauspicious exterior... Can I hold it? Will it bite?"
"Okay, but don't drop it. It's unexpectedly fragile."
"Oh... It's rather heavy."
Cliff picks up the watermelon with curiosity and looks all over it.
A watermelon's color does look rather unlucky.
For people of this world, the black and green pattern is something to be feared.
The inside is blood red too, of course it looks a bit disgusting.
But this world has many strangely shaped fruits and vegetables as well.
If we search carefully, it's possible that something like watermelon exists in this world too.
I think I remember seeing some kind of a melon before.
"Hey, Nanahoshi."
"What?"
"Now that I think about it, wouldn't summoning a Yubari King be better? Since that's a hybrid cultivar, it definitely wouldn't exist in this world."
"You... do you even know the difference between regular and hybrid melons?"
Having her say that, I was a bit stumped as well.
At best, I can tell prince melon and cantaloupe apart.
"Anyways, I can't go that detailed yet. Actually, I was trying to summon a cabbage this time."
Subtle emotion surfaces as Nanahoshi said.
This world has vegetables like cabbage too.
So could we tell the difference?
Figure out whether we summoned a cabbage from this world or the other.
I'm no farmer.
Neither is Nanahoshi.
Summoning vegetables might have been a mistake from the start.
"..."
No, it's fine.
An experiment is based on theory, and we have results.
Then, this watermelon should be fine.
Although we can't confirm whether it's from this world.
But, all in all, watermelon is watermelon.
Calling it a success isn't a lie.
"Well, since it's a success, let's celebrate!"
Zanoba looks uninterested, probably because it wasn't doll shaped.
"Ah, fine."
Badigadi, Pursena, and Rinia.
Those lively people are gone.
The party will feel a bit shabby without them.
But, let's put that aside for now.
