Black Summoner
Episode 242 Naming Ceremony
- Gown/Castle of the Divine Spirit Tree
I had one stuffy about life expectancy even after I left last night, but eventually settled down with "do something about God's messenger first". There are no ex-girlfriends or children who die in battle even if their lifespan extends. I think that's fine now. More than that, it's too big a story to feel real.
Well, today is the day of the naming ceremony, and this is one of the guest rooms of the castle. Because it was a public place, I decided to wear the ceremony clothes I received from my guild during the promotion ceremony. I don't get to wear it at all. Let me take advantage of it at a time like this.
"Since the promotion ceremony, right? I think it's brilliant and unfit for me..."
"Once again ~. I need to realize that Effil hey are prettier. Besides made-up clothes, you should wear all sorts of things like Sella, because she definitely looks great!
"You no longer have to worry about Colette this time. I can wear it to my heart's content."
"My chest seems a little tight..."
"Yeah, yeah. They all look great."
Ange nods contentedly when she sees our outfit. They all have wings that are the crest of the Pars Adventurer's Guild, and I'm wearing a black dress, Effil's green, Lion's white, Melfina's blue, and Serra's red dress. Ange, to say, is the usual uniform for guild officials. I'm still a member of the Alliance. A sign of slavery, the subordinate collar is hidden by wrapping a blue scarf around his neck, so he won't be able to see it. Ange will officially retire to the Adventurers Guild after returning to Pars, he said. I'll accompany you then, but you have to be prepared for one of the training grounds. Don't be...
"Look, Kelvin doesn't look that spicy either! It's a sunny stage, isn't it?
"I don't like places like this. So was the promotion ceremony, but aren't you nervous?
"I don't think it's a dialogue between those who ravaged at the Beast King's Festival... I need to apprentice Mr. Gerrard a little"
"Gerrard?"
Point in the direction Ange points to.
"Gahhhhhhh! What do you say, you look good? No boulders for ceremonies!
"Wow, that's a beautiful embroidery"
"The usual red cape would be nice, but the white on the coat and the black on the armor show the contrast."
Gérard deliberately wears a white coat to reveal to Luca and Stra. The appearance even makes me look like a pervert just for Demon King armor, but I just see how satisfied I am. Because your unique skills have been ranked 'Self Transcendence', which has made it possible to change gear. I have no trouble showing my majesty to my temporary grandchildren.
"Hey, you have to be so grand."
"... I didn't know the time would come to set an example for Gerard"
"It's okay, Kelvin looks great too!
I get slapped in the back with a bang. Injecting temper. But watching faces lined up in these outfits doesn't make me want to see Ange's dress either. Shall I ask Effil next time? Oh, then you'll need Dahak's too... um, I can't think of his outfit. Are you on your way to pick up a seat to see Pretty (in a dress) from the guest seat now? You really don't get bumpy.
"Dear Kelvin, it's time. Gather in the courtyard."
Oops, looks like the servant of the Beast came to get me. So, what do you say we go?
"Come on in!
Ange dropped us off and we walked out to the venue.
Jereol declares the meeting open on stage.
"Be quiet! Now we're hosting a gown country naming ceremony!
The courtyard of the castle of the Divine Spirit Tree, which serves as a venue for the naming ceremony, was filled with people. It's as if the guests who were supposed to be heading to the arena have fallen into an avalanche here.
'Than, I guess so...'
'This courtyard is also vast, but you have more beastmen than that'
The courtyard of the castle is in the middle of a divine spirit tree, and a garden is created where the trees protrude greatly. Even though it's on the Divine Spirit Tree, I laughed that there are other species of trees planted here as well. The visiting residents are allowed to enter up to half the courtyard, from which it appears that gown soldiers are roping and demarcating the border. From this border, only the people involved are allowed to enter, making it a space, so it has changed from gallery to spacious without crowds or anything.... Well, there's something sitting in the middle of it that I'm not familiar with on this occasion. We're a party, so on this side, we're sitting in a seat alongside the noblemen who we think will be given names at the naming ceremony as well.
"Nevertheless, good for you. Sabato, sesame seeds. You're gonna inherit the name of the gown, aren't you?
"Whoa! I didn't think so either, but apparently it's not a dream!
"Sabato, please, be quiet, at least keep your voice down. The ceremony is about to begin."
Sabato and Sesame are the ones sitting next to us. They are wolfish, but apparently the Beast King recognized their strength in the Beast King's Festival match. They both seem to have made no difference from the loss and outcome of Game 2, but their opponents are Lion and Pretty. As it stands, even Jereol and Eugère, who inherit the name of the gown, couldn't beat the opponent, and it was worth the effort.
"Now I'm going to give you a new family name than this. And whosoever is called his first name shall go up on the stage."
As Jereol read out the man's name, the beast man, sitting in the seat at the far end of the guest's side, stood up and headed to the stage. When the man reached the stage, the old man in the courtesy stood in front of him and whined some spell. I guess that's 'naming'. It would have taken skill ranks above A level to give it a family name. If normal, it's something that narrows down to a single skill and stretches, but this is a beast country gown. Is that old beast man a mouth he used to make me say as a warrior, too?
"You're in Kerr, and the order you're called is the same as the order of these seats."
'That means we're at the far end of the stage, so last...'
Um, I'd like to bring some peace to my heart after I've just held these events. If I'm in bad order, I'll be bothered by tension to the end. I want to fool around asking you to be the last Sabato or something to be royal. Yes, let's forget the nervousness by talking about it in a nutshell. Let's do that.
"Next, S-Class Adventurer" Reaper "Kelvin," Black Meteor "Lion," Empress "Serra," Smile "Mel," Bombing Princess "Effil," Sword Ong "Gerrard! Previous!"
And while I was playing with Rion and the others in my reading at that rate, the order seemed to be turning around at some point. Yeah, 'What can I do to make Barr honest and call him your sister towards Serra?' Even though I say it was exciting in the debate. It doesn't even start when you're moaning. Once the story is open, I rise from my seat and head to the stage. Only me and my sister, Lion, are the subject of this naming. Because I have a proven track record of the Demon King crusade, I have the right to apply, but, well, that's why I have to work hard from now on.
"Kelvin and Lion, give Sercius' family name to Sora, etc."
Read the family name the old man had applied to Ange beforehand and start casting spells. Then a status screen appears in front of me and the right side of Kelvin's letter glows out. Eventually the light focused on the shape of the letters, and the screen was labeled Sercius. Lion seems the same. Now I'm Kelvin Sercius. Lion became Lion Sercius.
"Congratulations, Kelvin. From now on, the name of Sercius will strike the world."
"Thank you, Prince Jereol"
"Now, if it were meant to be, the naming ceremony would be closed with this, but Kelvin has been awarded prizes, medals and titles by the Demon King Crusade from various countries. Hey, bring it."
When Jereol ordered, I heard rattles and some sort of pushing of the trolley from the side of the stage.
"... Isn't that too much?
"For how many minutes, it includes the brave ones who have returned to the other world. Kelvin, who fought the Demon King together, deserved it, didn't he? Plus the prize money for the Beast King's Festival victory and semi-finals."
A pile of gold coins I've never seen brought. Looks like a comic book or movie joke scene. How many of these can you buy for our mansion?
"Next is the medal. From our gown, we give the Beast King's Chapter to those who have worked the highest merit, from Delamis, the Pope's and Virgin's Chapters, and from Trage, the Tsubaki Flower Chapters... all of which are of the highest rank. The King of Wu Gong chapter has arrived from Tricen."
"An extra honor, should I say?
Medal? It's a decoration that shows honor, but it makes me have trouble using it. Should I go with these places on my clothes?
"Finally, the throne. These things tend to be hated by adventurers, but King Trage told me to do something about them. The Tsubaki Guard captain."
"Oh, I don't need that. Decline."
Probably not the title.
"I guess. That one is unpunished, too. Do you want to carry the bounty here to the mansion?
"No, it's okay"
The bounty is poured into the storage of the nostalgia croto on the spot to take it all home. Kroto's tentacles only sucked up the gold coins one after the other, but they were seen with strange eyes by the beasts. Don't you see it because there is a distance and the chroot is translucent? Think of it as green magic manipulating the wind.
Then the great people of the country (for some reason) gave me words of celebration, and this ceremony ended without delay. I'm concerned that the Beast King won't show up from earlier, but I can't help but care. Let's go home!
"Bye! We're hosting an Exhibition Match, hosted by the Beast King!
I thought... The center of the courtyard, the one I've been wondering about for a while now. It was also in the arena, Mr. Caesar's handmade circle stage. And the woman with her voice up on it, no, she's the Beast King, right, you? You look like the daughter of Nerus, the elder in the elf, but you're the Beast King, right?
"E, what's the exposition?
"Were you planning on doing that?
"That's good. Sounds interesting! The Beast King Festival ended up cancelling, and it's just fine!
The bewildered spectators are also slowly starting to catch heat. Is this why they made us bury the entrance and exit sides?
"S-Class Adventurer 'Reaper' Kelvin!" Empress "Serra! Come onstage. See, it would be the best stage. You should fight as much as you want."
"" "Oooh!
The words are crude, but the trick is the elf woman herself. I'm inviting you adorably. Surrounded by spectators who were completely in spectator mode sprang up. This is no longer air to say no. Comrade quilt video equipment over the sky, and the stage has been expanded. Is this what it means to be ready?
"Oh, I knew it was that pattern...... Selah, what are you going to do? How dare you equip the Black Gold Demon (Alondite)!?
What is in a dress? Serra quickly equips herself with a mismatched black gold demon (Alondite). Shit, isn't that too early for comprehension?
"Yeah, 'cause you're gonna do it, right? Your mouth is laughing, Kelvin.
... I'm afraid you're unconscious. Remove the black wand from the chroot.
"I'm telling you, this isn't the Beast King's Festival. We're gonna bang the magic, too, right?
"I know! I use it, too! Uh, Mel."
"Yeah, we'll take care of the overlapping of the junction. You can do everything you want."
Because we played mock games like every day, or this one is getting ready fast. I was already ready to fight on stage.
"The referee will serve. Even Jereol won't be able to judge your lords' real game. Both sides, is there a problem?
"None"
"No!
Me and Sella are going across the street. Because it's a dress and a courtesy dress. It's fresh.
"Well - here we go!
The sky is clear with no clouds, no more battle days. In the castle of the sky-high Divine Spirit Tree, cheers roared.
