Ah, this is delicious, Li truly thought so from the bottom of her heart.

The hamburgers she remembered from her previous life were only the kind with thin, flimsy meat.

Yes.

There had been a time when they were sold off cheaply when Li was still young.

The memory of gratefully eating them back then vividly resurfaced.

It had been her long-awaited hamburger.

Even the ones from chain restaurants had simple ingredients and seasoning.

Even so, they had tasted good.

But what Li was eating now was far more authentic.

The meat was thick and had a strong flavor.

In a word, it was rich.

And the fat from the meat was delicious.

The freshness of the leafy vegetables that balanced the meat's fat was also excellent.

What surprised Li the most was the mayonnaise.

The egg flavor was rich and it elevated the taste to something exquisite.

"This is delicious!"

"Right? It is a carefully crafted hamburger!"

The Saint gave Li a thumbs-up.

Li responded with the same gesture.

"Lady Li, excuse me."

Alberta quickly wiped around Li's mouth with a handkerchief.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," Alberta replied as she put the handkerchief back into her pocket.

"Big Sister Li, was it delicious?"

Patricia asked with a worried expression.

"Yes. It is very delicious. Even if it is a little unrefined, is that not fine? The only people here are the members of Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross."

"If Lady Li says so."

With that, Alberta said "here we go" and crushed the hamburger.

She then lifted it with both hands and took a small bite.

The next moment her eyes widened greatly before she swallowed.

"It is delicious."

"See? Go on, everyone eat. If you take small bites it will be fine."

At the Saint's words, everyone's gaze turned toward Alberta.

Indeed, unlike the Saint, there was no sauce smeared all over her.

With that reassurance, the noble young ladies also began moving their fingers.

Meals are something to be eaten while observing proper manners.

For the noble young ladies who had believed that, this was a refreshing experience.

Holding it with their hands and biting into it.

The side dishes of french fries and onion rings were also excellent.

If the food tastes good, conversation naturally blossoms.

It was as lively as female middle and high school students chatting at a fast food chain.

The Saint was satisfied seeing that scene.

Once everyone had eaten their fill, Li decided to move on to the main topic.

"I heard from Ally that you attempted pseudo-summoning magic yesterday. Which parts did not go well?"

In response to Li's question, Alberta answered on behalf of everyone.

"We are able to summon them successfully. However we cannot communicate well with the spirits. We also do not quite understand each person's authority."

"I see."

Li understood the problem.

To begin with, summoning magic consumes an absurd amount of mana and is extremely inefficient.

To use it properly requires mana first, mana second, nothing for third and fourth and mana again for fifth.

In other words, the amount of mana determines everything.

So in pseudo-summoning magic, Li expanded the range of beings that could be summoned even by those with low mana.

With an Engraved Summoning Circle, the minimum is a lower spirit.

Even forming a contract with that type of spirit cannot be done if one's mana is insufficient.

Therefore Li set the target to beings that could be called beginner spirits, the stage before becoming lower spirits.

Spirits in this world dwell within all things and are born from condensed mana.

However spirits that have just been born still lack a strong sense of self.

Because of that, lower spirits with clearer self-awareness take care of them.

After years of that process, they eventually become lower spirits.

In other words, communicating with beginner spirits is difficult.

However it is not impossible to do anything with them.

Beginner spirits learn as they grow so by summoning them frequently and building bonds with them, they can be nurtured.

The more they interact with their summoner, the more their growth progresses.

Yes.

In Li's mind, she had imagined something like an egg-shaped creature raising game.
