Black Summoner

Episode 127: Gifts

- In front of the city and dining venue in Pars

"Then, Master Kelvin, I beg your pardon for this. Unfortunately, we have to go back to Delamis early tomorrow morning..."

"You're going to miss me. I would like to visit Delamis any time soon. I'll see you then."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to that."

We're just finishing up the meeting, we're meeting up with Sylvia's party, and Colette and her escorts in front of the store to say goodbye. Colette behaves as before to avoid suspicion around her, as Melfina instructed. You don't seem to have a problem with this.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to grant permission to use the transfer gates to Delamis, because all this requires the Pope's forgiveness... but I promise I will always persuade the Pope by the next time I see him!

Colette takes my hand and stares at me as I moisturize my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. Glad to hear it, but don't push it too hard."

Oh, that? No problem, right? You know what this kid told you, right? I care about the group of guys behind my back who talk to Hisohisso in private, but you can't get the bollocks out here to me. I can handle it.

"Thank you for your concern. I'll see you guys later."

"Oh, wait. Mr. Colette."

Sylvia stopped Colette from trying to get in the carriage prepared for the street.

"What is it, Mr. Sylvia?

"I need to ask you something personally"

"What do you want to hear, sir?

"Uh, I'd like to talk to you alone for a moment"

"... yeah, I don't mind"

Colette seems to have issued a standby order to the escort and accepted Sylvia's offer.

Sylvia looks here with Chirali. Just the two of us, that means you don't want anyone to ask you for advice. Let's go home first.

"So let's just say we go first."

"Thank you, Kelvin. See you tomorrow."

Sylvia waves her hands small.

"Oh, hey! What do you mean tomorrow!?

"Nagua's... Ki Mi! I promised Mr. Effil when I was. Tomorrow we will be instructed to cook at Mr. Kelvin's mansion. If you do, you will inevitably see Mr. Kelvin, too, won't you?

"Hey!? I'm not listening to you!

"Nagua, shut up! Nice to see you tomorrow, Mr. Effil!

We'll be on our way home with the hustle and bustle behind us. Well, it's been a long day without interruption.

"Let's go home! Home heh!"

"... Pretty, why are you mixing with us in a natural way?

I almost flushed it normally.

"I'll be with you on the way home. Besides, it's still a little silly, don't worry!

"What are you talking about? Serra, is something wrong?

"Yeah!? No, no, there was nothing! Yeah, I said it's not in anything!

This gross behavior is so upsetting that it can't be misjudged. I will not pursue it any further.

"Your husband. As I reported during the meeting, Silvia, Emma and Ariel will be here tomorrow afternoon. I'll rent you a cooking area and a dining room."

"Oh, you were going to have a cooking class. Sylvia and the others are just a few moments away from staying in Pars. Take care of him."

"Yes! If you don't mind, your husband will be with you."

Effil promises to teach Emma and Ariel to cook tomorrow. Emma's for Sylvia, Ariel's for one-sided thinkers. By the way, Sylvia says she's a taster.

'Nevertheless, my king, I just thought you were my wife, but I'm going to do it!

Gerard sent me a reading as he poked my flank with his elbow. Are you saying that you were able to get information about the Empire from Colette? To see how it went, Gerard didn't seem to mind either.

'Well, there's a lot going on. Thanks to you, we've got some useful information, and from now on, we might have a chance to get Colette's help. "

"I see, for that matter, the witch hall... but I didn't expect you to let that happen to the witch hall, and in such a place... you are terrified while my king"

'Hmm? Really?

Surely it wasn't much praise for using faith in Melfina? But yeah, but if I didn't, the situation was going to get worse. Kick me in the ass. I was the best I could because I would teach Colette to tangle up in my leg begging me to. At the end of the day, he was forced to pull away from me, but he was careful not to get hurt properly.

"Kelvin, Kelvin!

Now receive a message from Serra. Like earlier, I'm feeling nervous for some reason.

"Oh, um, would you come to my room before you go to bed? I want to give you something!

Though it is a philosophy due to communication of will, it conveys Serra's desperation. You mean what I want to give you, the gift I missed the other day? Second, I have eyes on Pretty, who was walking beside me, and for some reason, I get a heavy wink. There's definitely something about this.

'Okay. I'll be there. Just wait.'

'- Yeah! I promise!

When I answered, Serra replied with an uncontrolled grin.

- Kelvin Mansion - Selah's Private Room

Return to the mansion and it will be time for your appointment with Serra. You've come all the way to the front of the room, okay, but you're getting a little nervous. Knock gently and hang your voice.

"Selah, it's me. Can I come in?

"Doh, go ahead..."

With recognition, open the door. I also visited Serra's room when I was nursing. Last time Serra's personal belongings were scattered, but now they were neatly organized. Serra in Negrije sits right on the bed.

"Uh... here, sit down"

"Oh."

I'm invited to Serra, who slaps me next to a pom pom and a bed, and sits there.

………

………

From then on nothing could emanate from each other, and a constant silence ensued. "Serra, what are the requirements for calling me? If you say," the situation will move soon enough. But when I think about this atmosphere, I guess I'm blunt because I'm nervous about Serra, because of her profound pretentious behavior. Distance to touch the skin if you reach out at all. And that nervousness will shift to me too...

"" Um ""

These kinds of betrayals are going to happen.

"Sorry, tell me from Selah"

"Ugh, yeah. I tried to give this to you at the tavern the other day, and it's a gift from me."

A small box that is handed to you to poke at, shaking your hands with a pull. Serra's face doesn't look the other way, but it's probably bright red. 'Cause there's hot air.

"Thanks. Can I open it?

"Yes, fine. I don't know if you like it..."

Open carefully packaged boxes. When I opened the lid, there was a necklace in it. A silver rocket pendant. The simple yet cylindrical pattern carved into it was stunning. When checked with the appraisal eye, surprisingly, the rating is A-rank. If I tried to buy it normally, I would get quite a lot of money. More than that, it's the first substitute you can't see in the market.

"Did Serra find this and buy it for you?

"Half correct. It was Goldiana who found me. I've managed the money with the requested reward."

"... well. I like it, I'll definitely have to put it on tomorrow."

"Really!? Good..."

If I wanted to buy it, I would have bought several expensive instruments that Serra had always wanted. I need to take care of this pendant you gave me until I put up with it. To be honest, I'm delighted to be doomed.

"This pendant is pretty small stuff only, but can you get it in there? Is there something in there?

View pendant lock. You're locked pretty tight.

"Yeah! It contains my 'blood' compressed with skill! Oh, don't open it by mistake. 'Cause it's gonna be a big deal."

"... well"

Hey, no, you're not gonna change your mind.

You relieved me by giving you the gift, and it looks like Serra's back to her normal condition. We chat, sometimes teasing and laughing at each other with no other love, as usual. That's the usual relationship.

- But I have a self who's not happy with the relationship as it is. I was liking her for being naive and thinking about me at all times. That's as good as Effil. Serra blushes her cheeks from time to time, I'm sure she does.

"... Kelvin. I want to tell you something."

Serra's words uttered in a mundane moment. If you noticed, your hands overlapped, intertwining each other's fingers.

"Can I tell you something first?

"What?"

If you let me tell you from Selah here, you're not a man.

"Serra, I like it"

―――

With the confession, we approach Serra. Eventually Serra also closed her eyes and gradually began to have a stingy cherry blossom lip -

Gatsun.

A dull sound echoing in a room ruled by silence. Funny, I don't feel soft on my lips, my forehead hurts for some reason. It hurts so bad.

"What...?

"Become!?

Between Serra and me, a wall was formed like a purple barrier. The barrier is deployed to draw circular circles with Serra just centered.

"Magic? No, this is..."

"Father's, protection!?

Serra put a scratch on me first. Upon confirmation with the appraisal eye, the identity of this barrier was' the protection of the Demon King '. Details are as follows.

Protecting the Demon King (Gustav the Demon King)

Protect the subject from indecent behavior. This effect is forcibly activated even without the subject's consciousness and does not consume MP. However, protection is not activated if the addressee acknowledges it and extends to the addressee himself.

Demon King, I don't care if you're a fool, but will you die and penetrate it?

"Already... Father, when I go up, I will always...!

Oh, Serra's eyes are gradually red.

"Kelvin!"

"Ha, ha!

I accidentally replied. But what really surprised me was Serra's next move.

―――

The barrier breaks apart raggedly. Amazingly soft feel to the mouth. The scent of Serra passing through her nose. I was being kissed by Serra.

"... now you can't disturb your father."

"... right"

Bird kiss just touched lightly. It was so abrupt that I couldn't get my eyes on it. Serra is also leaning down. No, no, I have some experience here. Not unless I lead! Junior high!

"Serra......"

Put your hands on Serra's cheek and turn this way. Serra raised her face with a slight tear.

"Kelvin... eat me..."

At that moment, I remembered that reason had blown away.
