Black Summoner

Episode 17: The Other World

"And it's a beautiful day, isn't it an adventure day for you?

"Well, I'm in the mood to leave now."

"Ha-ha-ha, it's okay to be serious, but sometimes you need to get some rest."

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The conversation between Kelvin and Rio is very normal, but it's kind of a disturbing air in the room. Even if Ange came in here by mistake, she would feel uncomfortable with the belly searches under the water that take place in a calm manner of bickering.

"Damn, they took one of these. By the way, Kelvin, are you from another world?

Don't ask me anything unusual in the course of a natural conversation, you raccoon. By the way, I'm talking to Kroto and Gerrard about my qualities. Apart from me, there are very few other people in this world. As far as Gérard is concerned, he said he had seen him several times in his life. The famous place is the brave foursome of the beautiful men and beauties that Melfina seems to have reincarnated. Look at the opportunity. I want to see you, too.

- Kelvin was pretty tired of the throws of restraint that have been going on for quite some time. I should have come to get my reward, but I went and got stuck. I'm cursing myself that it's a bad day. Though he managed to keep his poker face protected by his gall power skills, he was pretty worn out inside.

"… it is only in your power to explore the nature of the adventurer."

"Don't you deny it?

What's he after?

I'm alert. Rio exhales so little.

"I'm sorry, what I did asked you was a mean question."

"I don't care, I can't say, but may I ask what that intent is?

Rio takes the glasses wipe out of his nose and answers as he rubs the monocular glasses.

"Ange told me about Cashel. On top of that, I should tell you that I defeated the Black Spirit Knight Crusade alone, no, with your men. You're a summoner, aren't you?

"Did they still see my status? So, what do you want?"

"It's not like I want to be hostile to you, don't get me wrong there and ask for an explanation. I'd rather have a system of cooperation."

"... Mind if I ask for details?

Since Rio has been recommending chairs, I decide to sit down for a moment.

"Shall I start by telling you why I judged you a different world? You seem to have an appraisal eye, too, so I know, but I own an A-level appraisal eye, too. By the way, I saw your status about three days ago. Ange told me you had a promising rookie, and I let him see it from the shadows."

Weren't we talking earlier? The skills I checked all over the city were exquisite, even at the highest level. I thought it would be fine for the time being if I raised the cover-up to level B, but I didn't know it would have been leaked in this short period of time... I make it. I'm sweet with the stuffing.

"You can't hide your status until hours." The important thing is to have more friends who can share that secret. King, it's because of the shackles!

"We'll support you as much as we can."

Right, right. Let's just say we listen to Rio first. Absolutely, a comforting delivery.

"I had some doubts about your status. I don't have the level, the Summoner's occupation, and the skill rank I possess. It's impossible for any genius to get summoning in that level band. If I could, I'd be a resident of a different world from this one, only a different world with high skill from level one. Your skills are already those of S-class adventurers."

"What he's saying is true."

Then don't you even have to hide it anymore?

"You're right, I'm a different world. I see you've met someone else."

"When a brave man is summoned in the Imperial Deramis."

Oh, that's what Melfina was talking about. Though I didn't seem to want to get too involved.

"Then you also knew that Cashel and her people were criminals? Why did you leave him out of the field?

"I must apologize for that. Cashel is from a prestigious nobleman named Phase of the Tricene Nation. Nobility in other countries is hard work, and I wanted proof of it."

Cashel's a nobleman, right? It looked like it, but is the power of aristocracy in this world pretty good?

"Even so, I found out the other day that he had been allotted where he was wrapping his hands. Looks like something went wrong, maybe that's where the title came from. So, you're the one who finally showed up at the stage where you could move, Kelvin."

What a wonderful time you've been in contact, me.

"Of course, I forced myself to stop if I was a regular rookie. But your status was unusual. I thought I'd bet on you."

"So what were you going to do if I died?

"Haha, sorry"

This guy, a gentleman's look is quite a raccoon in the back!

"Don't look at me like that. Instead, we offer special rewards, and we prepare good suggestions"

"That's what connects you to cooperation, isn't it? So what exactly did you do?

"The witch of Delamis gave the prophecy of God and summoned the brave. The witch says the demon king resurrection will happen soon. Monsters are becoming fierce all over the continent."

"... so?

"It seems the Demon King was also responsible for the fact that the Black Spirit Knight you headed for the crusade was becoming more powerful. It was a Class D request if it was meant to be, but there were too many victims. How many brave men can you say you can't go around protecting the whole continent? Above all, I want them to focus on the Demon King crusade."

I see, I could read Rio's intentions.

"You mean instead of the brave, remove the monster threat......?

"... I'm ashamed that even the guild isn't manned enough. When you become a highly-ranked adventurer, you may or may not have one in the city around here. We don't have enough people to do requests above B level."

The area is basically peaceful with all the low-level monsters. And I guess the highly-ranked adventurer hasn't been in Pars before. So much so that Cashel was in the lead. In the meantime, Rio seemed in a hurry with the emergence of powerful monsters in the ancient castle of evil spirits at the end of his eyes and nose.

"I want you to take a request that no one else can accomplish. I'll give you a reward to match, and I'll give you all kinds of support. Of course, I don't mind if you turn down the request if you don't think it's possible. The point is, a promising man like you thinks it's not a good idea to be in low ranks."

"I mean, I would increase the Adventurer rank on an exceptional basis, but you said I'd leave it to my discretion to decide which requests to take?

"Exactly"

"I think the terms are too good"

"To be honest, your power, the summoner, is someone I want so much that I can get my hands off my throat wherever I go. That's the same with the guild. I thought I'd ask you to go up high as an adventurer before you take me in somewhere."

Rio looks sorry.

"You hid being a summoner, being a different world. If you will cooperate with the Alliance, let's make sure freedom is promised. You didn't want to get caught up in the nobility's unstuck power struggle, did you?

You've been spotted. But on that condition, I have no complaints.

"Okay. Let's work together."

Kelvin and Rio stand up and shake hands.
