Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Because the shadowy figures had already surrounded them.

Suddenly, the panel lit up.

[The system has detected the power of the world.]

The system has been repaired.

The system has been upgraded.

[System summoning function enabled.]

[Considering the host's situation, it is recommended to immediately sign a summoning contract with Uesugi Erii. This will allow you to temporarily leave Nibelungen. Do you wish to sign?]

"Sign! Sign! Sign!"

Xia Mu felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

Soon, lines of text appeared on the panel:

[Eri Uesugi has agreed and the first summoning has begun...]

"Buzz!"

Xia Mu felt as if he had been pulled in by a giant hand, and before he could even groan, he disappeared with a "poof".

Perhaps due to excessive speed, they didn't even have time to take their clothes with them, leaving them on the sports car seat...

The sound of hooves suddenly stopped, and then the thunderous neighing of horses gradually faded into the distance.

The shadowy figures then dispersed.

Chapter Two: Erii's Summoning

With a "whoosh," Xia Mu's vision suddenly brightened.

There was no dizziness; it was as if he had suddenly appeared in front of him.

The floor beneath my feet is covered with tatami mats, which feel slightly cool to the touch.

Xia Mu quickly looked around.

There was no shadow.

He breathed a sigh of relief, a feeling of joy at surviving a disaster welling up inside him.

Once he's out of Nibelungen, he'll be able to contact his agent, and soon someone will come to pick him up and take him home.

However, the system just said it was Uesugi Erii?

Xia Mu's sense of crisis gradually subsided, but her heartbeat quickened again.

Erii...

He looked around.

In the center of the room was a kotatsu table. The plain white walls had few decorations, except for three statues hanging there: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.

Apart from these three statues, there were no other decorations in the living room. There were no flower arrangements, not even the kind commonly found in Japanese homes. There was also no furniture, and the shrine maiden's clothes were neatly hung in the open closet.

It's exactly the same as Erii's residence described in the book.

Even the tip of my nose was still filled with a faint sandalwood scent.

"Click..."

The sound of a wooden door moving came from behind me.

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Click..."

The door to the inner room was slowly opened.

A slight airflow began to move through the living room, and Xia Mu suddenly felt an unusual coolness, even icy coldness, on his body.

Well…

He finally lowered his head and looked at himself, then his eyes widened and three exclamation marks appeared on his forehead.

"Where are my clothes?!"

A surge of heat rose from his body, almost turning his face purple.

This is Erii's room, how embarrassing!

But Xia Mu didn't have time to find clothes, because the door to the inner room was slowly opening, and a slender, fair hand was resting on the door frame, and the person inside seemed about to emerge.

Xia Mu's face flushed.

He would rather die than see her looking so cold and lifeless!

His gaze quickly swept across the living room, but apart from the shrine maiden's outfit, he couldn't find anything else to cover himself.

I can't exactly wear her clothes, can I? Women's clothing?!

Xia Mu thought about that scene and still wanted to die.

His gaze moved rapidly, finally settling on the kotatsu table.

A Japanese kotatsu table, simply put, is a table with a heater placed underneath, and a quilt is propped up on top of the heater, creating a warm space underneath.

Xia Mu doesn't have time!

Rush!

"clatter."

The door to the inner room made a soft sound, and the girl who came out saw a white figure flash by, followed by a head peeking out from beside the kotatsu table.

A symbol slowly appeared on the girl's forehead: "?"

Xia Mu had now clearly seen her appearance.

Soft, smooth red hair, long eyelashes, deep rose-red eyes, and a delicate, smooth face.

The girl, dressed in a white top and red bottom shrine maiden outfit, seemed to have stepped out of a painting.

He murmured almost inaudibly, "Uesugi...Eri...i..."

She looked to be seventeen or eighteen, a complete young girl, but her clear, innocent eyes were even more innocent than those of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

This girl is a source of deep regret for countless people.

Despite being a princess of the underworld, possessing bloodlines and spiritual powers surpassing even those of an "emperor," she cannot even attain the happiness of an ordinary person.

"You think she's a princess who owns the whole world, but all she actually owns are those toys... and you."

A sour feeling welled up inside me.

Xia Mu looked at her carefully, his heart churning with emotion.

Judging from her current age, she is at least three or four years away from her tragic end.

He was thinking a lot, while Erii just blinked her big eyes at his head, her eyes filled with nothing but curiosity.

She was neither surprised at where Xia Mu came from, nor worried about what Xia Mu might do.

She watched for a while, then suddenly turned around and went into the inner room.

The little white feet stepped on the ground, seemingly unafraid of the cold.

Xia Mu didn't know what to do, so he could only stare blankly at her back.

The dark red skirt was tied high around her slender waist, outlining her delicate figure.

She quickly jogged back, carrying a small notebook and a pen.

She sat down at the kotatsu table and began writing furiously in her notebook.

Now Natsuki was basically certain that she was Erii.

Because of her exceptional talent, she could easily utter dragon language, and a single word could trigger a Word of Judgment. Therefore, she never spoke, but instead always carried paper and pen with her.

"あなたはsummonsされたの?"

A small notebook was handed to Xia Mu by a pair of slender white hands and held up in front of her head. There was a line of Japanese text on it.

Xia Mu... I don't understand.

However, Japanese is probably the language most friendly to Chinese, at least he can recognize the two characters for "summon".

"call…"

Xia Mu leaned closer and tentatively asked, "Are you asking me about being summoned by you?"

Erii's big eyes blinked, a look of confusion in them.

Xia Mu: "..."

He doesn't understand Japanese, and she doesn't understand Chinese.

"Could I have a piece of clothing?"

As Xia Mu spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to herself.

He felt so ashamed to be talking to her naked under the table that the blush on his cheeks never completely faded.

Erii tilted her head, and her smooth red hair immediately cascaded down, filling the air with a delicate sandalwood fragrance.

She clearly didn't understand what Xia Mu meant.

Xia Mu could only stretch out his bare arms, then slightly expose his shoulders, pointing to the area under the kotatsu table, and then to his own shoulders.

Erii blinked and looked at his hand that was pointing under the table. Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she lifted the corner of the blanket to look down.

"Wait! No! I didn't mean for you to see!"

Natsuki blushed and reached out to press the blanket down, but Erii's head was already almost buried under it.

In his haste, he could only cover her eyes with his hands.

Erii suddenly stopped moving.

Because warm palms covered her eyes.

She closed her eyes subconsciously, but her eyelashes trembled slightly.
