After the summoning circle faded away, we saw a collosal figure before us.

And the first thing we thought after seeing that figure was....

"Snake...?"

Seeing the summoned figure, I was dumbfounded and didn't understand.

Although the snake was definitely no ordinary snake because it looked black, collosal, and had seven heads.

".... Even though it looks like a snake, I think from its appearance it looks more like a Water Dragon/Serpentine. Also, that dragon has an aura that is very familiar to me. Spirits aura...."

While I was still dumbfounded and confused, I heard Scathach-sama correcting me.

But still I don't understand! Shouldn't I summon a weapon!? Why is a Snake, no, a Dragon that summoned instead!?

".... Strong. Maybe stronger than me."

So that's why I felt so tired!

Even when I first used <<Balance Breaker: Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning>> and summoned Scathach-sama, I didn't feel this tired even though this time I didn't feel like I would lose consciousness.

Then, Sakuya-san came up to me and helped support me because I felt so tired.

Then, we saw that the fourteen eyes of the seven dragon heads seemed to be staring intently at us.

Being glared at by the dragon, Scathach-sama, Sakuya-san, and I then became alert.

Even though actually whoever I managed to summon with Balance Breaker: Infinite Parallel Overwrite Summoning would automatically connected to me, there was no harm in being careful.

"Who's the one who summoned me?"

The dragon seemed to only slightly open its jaw but was heard speaking. And it's voice sounded like a young mȧturė woman's voice. Does that mean that dragon is female?

Because she asked, I nervously answered her.

"M-Me."

After I answered that, the seven dragon heads bent down and came closer to me.

I felt quite intimidated of being approached and stared at by the seven dragon heads. Moreover, its colossal size adds to its fierce impression.

And then, the dragon looked a little surprised after taking a closer look at me.

"You are... male...?"

"Y-Yes. Any problem?"

"How interesting.... I didn't expect there would be male Elementalists since Solomon."

The dragon seemed to grin and then lifted its seven heads back and returned to its original position.

Then, the seven dragon heads seemed to be looking here and there looking sharp but also wondering.

"How strange.... Looks like this isn't Astral Zero, no, it even seems like this world is different from what I know. Or, the world has changed a lot since I fell asleep too long? Hmm...."

Hearing that Dragon's statement, Scathach-sama, Sakuya-san, and I all wondered.

"Solomon?"

"Elementalist?"

"Astral Zero?"

Seeing the three of us who seemed to be wondering, the Dragon again looking a little surprised.

"You don't know?"

"Eee.... Not at all...."

I scratched my head a little and smiled wryly.

"How can you not know? Shouldn't that be quite common?"

Well, maybe that's pretty common in your home world. But, here is another world.

"Sorry.... We don't know what Elementalist is, who is Solomon, and what Astral Zero is. But, we understand why you feel the difference from this world. It's because this world is indeed different from the world you came from."

"Hm? You mean, here is another world? .... No wonder you guys don't understand what I'm talking about."

The dragon looked just a little surprised, and it was me who was even more surprised because she seemed to be able to immediately understand the situation as if it was normal.

I then nodded slightly at her.

"Right."

The dragon then appeared to grin again.

"How interesting.... I didn't think there was another world besides Astral Zero and the world where those dark creatures came from.... So, of course there is a reason why you summoned me here, right?"

Hearing her question, I nodded slightly and explained.

"Right. To be honest, I have an ability that allows me to summon anything I wish for. And this time, I was expecting to summon a weapon that can change shapes, but I don't understand why you, a Dragon, that was summoned instead."

"Is that so.... What an interesting ability you have.... In that case, I think I understand why I was summoned by your ability. But, before I explain that matter, I will explain a few things first."

I don't know what the Dragon will explain about, but I will definitely listen.

"First, <<Elementalist>> is the name for people, generally girls, who make a contract with <<Spirit>>. And Spirits are existences that possess natural element powers and originate from a world/dimension called <<Astral Zero>>.... If a contract is successfully established, then Elementalist can use the Spirit contracted by them as weapon called <<Elemental Waffe>>."

I nodded slightly after hearing the dragon's explanation of Elementalists and Spirits.

"I see.... Since you are explaining this matter, does that mean you are a Spirit?"

If that dragon was indeed a Spirit, then it wouldn't be wrong for Scathach-sama to sense a Spirit aura from her.

Even though Spirits from Scathach-sama's home world and the Dragon were not exactly the same, it was likely that they were similar because they were both called Spirits.

"That's right. I am a Spirit. But I am not an ordinary Spirit. I am one of the <<Dragon Spirit>> which is notoriously rare and possesses extraordinary strength. In addition, Dragon Spirit has <<Anti-magic Dragon Scales>> which gives high resistance to natural elements magic.... And not only that, I am also an <<Ancient Spirit>> which is even rarer than Dragon Spirit. Ancient Spirit is a type of Spirit that has more than one element attributes and thus can have multiple forms of weapons.... That's why out of your wish to possess a weapon that can change shapes, I am the one who is summoned. "

"Oh, now I understand...."

Now I understand why it was that Dragon who was summoned even though I should have expected a weapon.

Wait, since Spirits can turn into weapons, does that mean I have to make a contract with her in order to use her as weapon?

Then, I asked about it.

"Do I have to make a contract with you?"

"Yes. If you want me to become your weapon, you have to do it.... It shouldn't be easy to conquer me. Even back then, Solomon, who would later be called the Demon King, could not make me submit even though he was ȧssisted by one of the Elemental Lords. But, somehow it seemed like I already have a connection with you even though it doesn't seem like a Spirit Contract. "

Hearing about the connection, I was a little awkward to explain.

"Ah, about that.... Actually, the summoning ability I have apart from of course for summoning, whoever is summoned will automatically bond with me."

"So that's how.... Interesting.... But, that doesn't mean a Spirit Contract will be guaranteed to be successful. That's because, a Spirit is an existence that has high self-esteem. A Spirit Contract will only be successful if Spirit accepts and recognizes its prospective master.... Even though Spirit can actually be conquered by force to make a contract, this method is not recommended because the formed contract will not be stable and there is a risk that the Spirit will spiral out of control and go on a rampage."

"I understand...."

I nodded slightly.

Of course I don't want to make a risky contract, so I intend to ask how to make a safe contract.

".... Hm?"

But, before I could ask again to that dragon, I saw Scathach-sama suddenly raise her head and looking with a sharp gaze to horizon.
