Black Summoner

- Delamis Palace.

It was only shortly after I heard the noise outside or let Stra's adorable face peek through the gap in the open door. Then we gather together one after the other, as we have shown. If you don't fit in the room with this number of adults, you're moving to the palace floor. What was surprising was that Pope Philip was also present on this occasion. It's not from behind a drape where only the shadows are slightly visible. The shadow also belongs to an adult who is very different from the real thing. In order to represent the Pope, Cardinal Collette and Cardinal Cy sit in line right beside him.

The desk on the floor is set up to draw a half-circle for the papal seat on the stage, in the form of seats in which we, Sylvia, and the brave, each in one piece. Around the room stood the knights of the Holy Knights lined up at regular intervals, tense faces and under guard. Calming down is like Captain Cliff. It is doubtful that some subjects to protect are S-class adventurers to the brave, and that fulfilling them makes sense for this protection. Well, I guess it means more as a Pope's Kingsguard than protecting us. I am more concerned about the stone statue sitting beside the drapes with the Pope than that. You did see that fusion of dragons and angels, even in front of the Pope's room.

"You may use this floor freely, but we do want the Pope to be present."

"Please let me know if you need anything. We'll work with you whenever we can."

"Bye," Ice Princess, "Sylvia. I meant I need to talk to Kelvin, but can I talk to you here? Oh, I'll be thorough with the bystanders, so don't worry about it at all. Here you go."

Is this Colette's handcuff, too? Number two at the top of the country, and the Cardinal gave me a comforting word. Holy Father, are you going to keep talking... to that different false figure of equivalence, what was Colette supposed to be a spokesperson?

"Well, as an adventurer, I'd like to make a request to Kelvin."

Sylvia mouths the words at her usual rate. Unlike the knights, this child has no shards of tension.

"Ask me? You mean the nomination request?

"Yes. I didn't want to take too much care of it, so I came to tell you directly"

I think it's important at a time when I'm via the Pope or something, is that okay? But I didn't expect to get a direct request from Sylvia. Because if Sylvia, the S-class adventurer, is capable enough to lead a party, she can only solve any requests for content on her own. Even a crusade for S-class monsters wouldn't be that difficult.

"So, what's the request?

"Search"

"Huh?"

"Someone's, Search"

………

……

- I'm waiting for the next word, why are you tilting your neck there!? Information, that's all!? Whoa, isn't that too little information to send out? No, I heard about Sylvia and Emma in advance from Colette and the orphanage, so I'm kind of predictable. Look, Emma's got a head, too. Oh, I saw it and raised my hand.

"Uh, I'll explain the details of the request from me. Mr. Kelvin's name has been heard from time to time, even since we crossed the Western Continent. A superior monopoly at the Beast King Festival to defeat the Demon King, whose achievements are immeasurable. Above all, in anticipation of its strength in defeating Sylvia in a mock match at the promotion ceremony, I wanted to ask you to do a joint search with us for someone, and I came to make this request. Of course, we've narrowed down some searches, and the reward promises to be the right one."

"What's the object of that search?

"I'm a woman named Ellen. Me and the parents of Sylvia's upbringing, can you say? Let's start with..."

"You're Sister Ellen, right? Then we'll be fine."

"That, you know?

Sylvia tilts her neck again in a kyotonic manner. When I visited the orphanage, I heard about the founder, the First Sister. Also about Sylvia and Emma finally being picked up by Sister Ellen and raised in an orphanage.

"I asked Mulligan. Convinced."

"You haven't seen him in a long time since you joined the Knights of Trisen, have you? Next time you go."

"Right. Be sure to look at the fold... hey, you're off topic. Let's get back to it. Mother, it was us who kept looking for Sister Ellen and extended our legs to the Western Continent, but we discovered traces of footprints that were slowly interrupting. It's just that it's a pretty nasty place to go."

"So much so that Sylvia asks for help. Pretty much."

"Yeah, it is. I can't believe my mother was headed for the land of Nara (Abyss Land)..."

- Hey, there's a coincidence. I don't care, it's the same place as our next destination. But you're an active mother, though I've heard rumors.

"The land of Nara (Avisland), considered the land of the devil, is a vicious underground world. Even the weakest monsters are told that they are Class C B strength. If Mr. Kelvin would accompany me, I wouldn't have any more comforting allies..."

"Oh, that's good. Take the request."

"Right. We know you're bothering us with a sudden offer. But this is our-- huh? Are you sure?"

Emma's serious expression turned into something that was taken aback, even verbal.

"Uh... I haven't specified the content of the request or the reward yet, will you take it? That's where you're going, right?

"No problem. We were just about to go there, too. You mean the land of dreams where brutal, outrageous, vicious monsters travel, right? No, good timing. There are quite a few places I'd like to stop. I think we can help with the search."

Since defeating the Demon King, sudden monster appearances have diminished so much. Until then, if I tell you I'm at peace, that's why I left Pars, my home base, so I can stay in gowns and delamis for a long time. For me to miss such a nostalgia, the land of Naruto (Avisland) is hit and followed correctly. There would be no particular reason to say no.

"It's not the land of dreams, it's the land of the devil...... yes, no, it helped that Mr. Kelvin said so. Thank you."

"Mm, thanks. Well, then, we're going to talk about rewards..."

"He said he didn't need that. I have a taste for fellow adventurers. I'll be on the road anyway, and I'll be happy to help."

"It won't clear our minds if you let the boulders get there for free. At least just the reward."

"That said, I don't want any money..."

Me turning down the reward, and Emma not trying to give up. The dialogue followed a parallel line for a while and ended up getting Sylvia, Emma and her mock match satisfied at the dawn of Ms. Ellen's search success. No, I don't have a choice. You don't have a choice. He really wants to get some kind of reward. I didn't want a reward, but it's a tough decision. Yeah.

Thereafter, each of the details of the request was explained. The point at which Mr. Ellen is predicted to have headed, and his sources, the reason - so far the leading one is that there was a sighting of Mr. Ellen in a large library owned by the school city of Lumiest on the western continent. When Sylvia and the others investigated, Ellen was in that library looking into herbs to formulate medications. Some of the books exist only in the underground world, and then Ms. Ellen says she has returned to the Eastern Continent again.

"There are two paths towards the land of Nara (Avisland). Heavenly Hell Springs, a huge waterfall that is considered a taboo place leading to the Narrow of the Trage Territory, and Purgatory Flame Mouth, a fire mouth on the top of the Great Fire Mountain inhabited by the Fire Dragon King present in Furnis, the land of fire. Both paths are steep and deserve to be called the doors of hell."

- Hmm?

"The last time I had a sighting of my mother was in Trage. We thought we were in the trage to travel by boat to the western continent, and that was the other way around. Mother was witnessed after returning from the western continent. Perhaps, then we headed to Heavenly Hell Springs. Heavenly Hell Springs is the jurisdiction of the Guardian Dragon of Trage, King of the Water Dragon. Fortunately, Sylvia has a face-to-face with the Water Dragon King, so she will be able to proceed somewhat safely. So the route we need to take also comes from Heavenly Hell Springs -"

I'm in the middle of Emma's explanation, but let me raise my hand here.

"You got a minute?

"Mr. Kelvin? Yes, what is it?

"Sorry, I changed my mind. Let us go through Purgatory Flame Mouth."
