Seeing how excited his summon was by receiving such a simple gift, Aoni felt as if he had been neglecting her, but what could he do? He was barely making do with what he had; still, it was moments like these where the Lad knew he needed to do better.
’Maybe I should make her some toys, but what? It’s not like I can manifest chew toys or something like that; her teeth and bite force are too strong for something as simple as rubber,’ Standing up as he could hear Glacia hopping off the bed, Aoni bounced a few ideas around his head before reaching down and letting the furball climb his arm to rest on his shoulder like usual.
"Did you get it settled in?" looking at Glacia, the Lad asked curiously, even though he knew she probably tucked the pillow in the corner of the bed near the wall where she likes to sleep.
"Gao," giving a short nod and her form of a smile, Glacia turned her eyes to the remaining four grey orbs with a hopeful expression.
Aoni didn’t need to be a mind reader to know she was probably thinking about getting more good stuff like the pillow, and that made him smile, so without further ado, he pulled one of the orbs to him and crushed it in his hand.
One scattering of particles and a flash of light later, and his fourth summon was revealed: a…
"Monster truck tire?" Tilting his head to the side, Aoni scratched his head in confusion as he walked up and gave the 66-inch by 43-inch tire a swift kick, causing it to jiggle but remain unmoved.
’Uh…the hell am I supposed to do with this…I guess this can be a toy for Glacia; if it was a normal tire, I could make a swing or something out of it, but it’s huge; maybe after cleaning it up, it can be her chew toy or a workout tool,’ sliding his arm through the center, Aoni found it difficult to lift the tire, but that was to be expected; it should be around 800 to 900 pounds, and with his F- Strength that could be considered beyond his upper limit.
Left without much in the way of options, he was forced to put his orb smashing on hold so that he could get the large tire out of the cave, a task which proved challenging due to its size and weight, but once he was able to get it moving, rolling the large object out of the cave wasn’t THAT difficult.
The only question was where he should put it, and after a short yet one-sided conversation with Glacia, it was decided it would be left out of the way outside of the cave for now.
’Sheet metal, a yardstick, a pillow, and a monster truck tire, my luck is pretty shit; oh well, Glacia can use two of them, and that yardstick will help me when cutting the hide,’ with a shrug of his shoulders, Aoni crushed the fifth grey orb, and this time, he finally got something which could be considered useful.
"YES! Scissors!" pumping his fist in the air, Aoni picked up the oversized scissors, which even came with a leather sheath, and examined them carefully.
While they may not seem like much, one must not forget that he can upgrade his summons, so even if they were trash, they were still considered a 1-Star tool.

On his shoulder, Glacia, who was confused as to why her Lord was so happy about getting the shiny object, didn’t pay much attention to it and shouted an OoO of her own as if cheering Aoni on.
Racing outside, the Lad quickly stored his new Scissors on one of the tool racks inside the Crafting station before returning to crush the remaining two grey orbs.
’I don’t care if it’s something good, just be something useful,’ Crossing the fingers on his right hand, Aoni reached out and crushed the orb with his left, and once the light faded, a small, perfectly rounded stone appeared on the floor in front of the Flume.
"Hm," walking over and picking it up, Aoni noticed that at a glance, it seemed no different from any other palm-sized, smooth river stone, that is, apart from the carving taking up the majority of its center.
Turning the stone around in his hand several times, the Lad traced the shape of the carving with his index finger.
The inscription itself appeared in the form of four connected wings, more like an airplane’s wings instead of something you’d see on a bird, surrounded by a circle.
If anything, it kind of resembled a ceiling fan turned on its side.
"I know it’s a Node Stone, but…what is it?" as if reading his thoughts, three notifications suddenly appeared in Aoni’s line of sight, causing his eyes to widen before returning to a passive expression.
| Scanning Node Stone |
| The Node Stone has been Identified |
| Node Stone of Building: Mill ☆ |
"Eh? A Mill? Like the kind that processes grain and such…wait, this is actually a good thing; they generally grind, crush, or cut solid materials in order to process them into fine powder or something of the sort. That means I can use it on the bones or waste materials to recycle them," nodding his head, Aoni walked to his bookshelf, placed the Node stone up high so that small fur balls couldn’t have easy access to it, and returned to his spot in front of the orbs.
"Last grey orb, then onto the good stuff," Clutching his hand, Aoni reached for and crushed the final grey orb, and when the animation sequence faded, what was revealed was something that, had he gotten earlier, would have saved him a significant amount of time, and the durability of Austr and Vestr.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me…"
SMACK
Palming his face, Aoni sagged his shoulders and walked over toward the metal object roughly half as tall as him and circular with hundreds of dulled, jagged teeth.
The final item, which came from his grey orbs, was a large, industrial-sized circular saw blade that was perfect for cutting planks, pylons, or any other large building materials.
