Chapter 45: Elf Summoning
"What’s that?"
Top Chat: What's going on?
Top Chat: It's dangerous, stop looking away and just climb down.
Top Chat: We can’t tell what’s happening ‘cause our eyes are physically glued to Elf-san.
Top Chat: Physically lol
Top Chat: Well, it is a fixed camera, after all.
"I'm going to check it out."
Bidding farewell to the stag beetle, I quickly climbed down the tree and retrieved my laptop and camera.
Top Chat: EEEEELFUUUUU!
Top Chat: Slowly! You said you’d go slowly, didn’t you!?
Top Chat: Humans can get seriously hurt if they fall!
"I'm an elf, though?"
Top Chat: No, that’s not the point.
Top Chat: Being an elf doesn’t magically make it okay… or does it?
Top Chat: No, it definitely doesn’t!
Top Chat: Our hearts can’t handle this, so just be human for now, please.
"Got it."
I walked between the trees at an unhurried pace, and in less than a minute, I reached an open grassy area. There, I found a young man and woman.
"Today’s event is summoning magic!"
"Minus one point."
"Wait, what!? I didn’t mess up my lines!"
"Minus two points."
"Stop deducting so casually! Also, what’s the criteria!? How low can I go before something happens!?"
The shouting woman looked to be around college age. Her eyes were hidden behind a pair of thick goggles, making them unreadable, but her well-shaped nose and mouth suggested she was quite pretty. Her hair had distinctive mesh highlights, and she wore a fluttering tunic that swayed with her movements.
The young man beside her looked slightly younger. A serious-looking boy with glasses, his plain shirt and track pants were in stark contrast to the woman’s more stylish outfit.
Top Chat: Reverse God-sama!?
Top Chat: It’s Reverse God-sama!
Top Chat: Holy crap, it really is Reverse God-sama!
Top Chat: So that must mean the boy is the Sadistic Staff… wow, he’s young.
Top Chat: Aaaah, his expressionless glasses look is exactly as imagined, my brain’s melting.
"I’ve heard the name Reverse God-sama before."
Top Chat: He’s Kirishi-tan’s colleague.
Top Chat: Though honestly, since he screams a lot on camera, he doesn’t really feel like a typical VTuber.
Top Chat: 2.5D is a free space after all.
"So, what exactly are you planning to do?"
"Today, we’re going to try summoning the recently trending Elf-san~"
Top Chat: Elf-san lol
Top Chat: Wait, wait, lol
Top Chat: You’re not supposed to just walk into someone else’s camera shot, come on!
"Alright, first, we’re going to lay out this vinyl sheet—"
Top Chat: Huh?
Top Chat: Reverse God-sama?
Top Chat: Staff-kun? You’re not gonna stop her?
"Next, we’ll arrange these mushrooms in a big circle."
"I’ll help."
"Ah, thanks a lot!"
Top Chat: Wait, what’s going on here?
Top Chat: Have they not noticed Elf-san yet?
Top Chat: No, no… they literally just talked to her…
"So, what happens when this is finished?"
"Ah, yes. They say that if you’re inside the mushroom circle, you’ll be able to see elves."
"Huh, I see."
Top Chat: Eh…? Wait… what?
Top Chat: Hey, Elf Expert, we need a little explanation here.
Top Chat: There’s an old legend saying that inside a fairy ring, elves become visible. Looks like they’re trying to recreate one artificially here.
"Alright, it’s all do—whoaaaaaaa!?"
Top Chat: Whoa, she literally flipped backward lol
Top Chat: Reverse God-sama’s way of being surprised is priceless
Top Chat: She’s gorgeous, but unlike Elf-san, you don’t feel the femininity from her reactions at all
"R-Riku-kun! We… we actually succeeded in summoning an elf!?"
Top Chat: Summoning?
Top Chat: Ah, so she just suddenly noticed Elf-san, huh
Top Chat: That explains it
"No, that’s wrong."
Top Chat: Oh?
Top Chat: Elf-san?
"For now, I’m human."
Top Chat: No, no, that’s not what we meant!
