Black Summoner

- Site of the Lizea Empire and Capital

The name of the plump man is Edward, and he knows my name again. But I don't remember seeing this man. No, I thought I heard the name Edward somewhere...

"Excuse me, have you seen him anywhere?

"Oh, I'm sorry about this. Suddenly you are called by name, you cannot help but be alert. I am the Clerk of State in Lisea. There's a history of that, and it's brilliant about foreign circumstances."

"Lisea's clerk, is it?

"Yes, we also have some idea of the appearance characteristics of S-class adventurers. Furthermore, if you were to be the person who would get permission from the Divine Empire Delamis to cross the Cross Bridge (Crusbridge), I thought only Kelvin Sercius, who was recently named 'Reaper' here... would it have fit?

Lisea's clerk, Edward, seems like a pretty mind-breaking guy. But I wonder where you really heard that. Edward, Edward, Lizea's clerk. - Ah.

"Um, you look pretty difficult, but how did you do it?

"Oh, no, excuse me. My name is Kelvin Sercius, and I'm an S-class adventurer on the Eastern Continent, as Edward guessed."

When I admit it, I get a blur from the soldiers who were guarding Edward's surroundings.

"Reaper, that Reaper?

"I've heard rumors that your hair is still a poemer and you're a terrible woman."

"Is that from the Adventurer's Register? Sure, those girls have a slave collar......!

"Was the rumor true!?

Yeah, let's go say a word to the producer of the Adventurer's Register one day. Let's definitely go.

"Be quiet, be quiet, please! Uh, I'm sorry. For how many minutes, the western continent has only been informed about the rumors of the wind, and gossip stories will soon spread. Some of them may say rude things, but if you'll excuse me -"

"It was like that in some parts of the eastern continent, so it's no problem. More than that, I wanted to confirm one thing..."

"Yes, what is it?

I gradually remembered that I was hooked to my head. Was that when you told Sylvia and the others about Melfina and Sister Ellen at your stepfather's castle? The name Edward came out of Emma's mouth. I left the orphanage before Sylvia and the others, like a brother or something. He also said he was a politician in Lisea, so we have a match for him right now.

"Does Mr. Edward know Sister Ellen?

"Huh...! Do you know my mother?

After all, it seems that this Edward, like Sylvia and Emma, was from an orphanage set up by Sister Ellen. You were right not to put out the word "Delamis" because there would be a position for him right now. I'll also teach Effil and Ange through their readings.

Then we were led by Edward to visit Lisea's simple base nearby. They're setting up tents here and doing rescue work for those left behind in the devastated capital, apparently. It takes a considerable amount of time just to carry out debris removal and calls, as long as the range of places is within range. Edward said bitterly that there was also movement in neighbouring countries aimed at weakening Lisea, and the truth is that we can't turn that many people around here. Luckily, however, no bodies of defected non-combatants have been found so far.

"- Thank you for waiting. There are guard soldiers outside the tent, but they won't hear what we're talking about here."

Edward brought us a tea-like beverage from Lisea as we sat in an installed tent near the center of the base. Once appraised, it is not poisoned.

"After all, is the word Delamis a taboo in Lisea today?

"Shame on you, you're becoming more sensitive than before the capital was devastated. My position is also difficult now. So, here's a continuation of an earlier story -"

Save some detail, but I reported to Edward that I found Sister Ellen with Sylvia and the others. Edward also seemed to have received a letter from Ellen, saying that he himself had conducted his own investigation.

"Really, Sylvia from the same S-class adventurer Princess Ice and... I can only thank you for treating my mother's disease. I knew Sylvia was investigating my mother, but I didn't have the opportunity to see her in person because of her mistake. Next time you have to go and thank me."

Hmm? That's some other way of saying it to Sylvia. Isn't Edward for your brother?

"Your husband. I wonder if Edward knows that Sylvia is Renoir.

'Yeah, yeah. If you left the orphanage first, you wouldn't know Renoir changed his name after that. "

"Uh, I see."

He seemed familiar with S-class adventurers, so I got it a little wrong. As you will soon know if you look directly at each other, did you not grow up with Renoir and Ashley in an orphanage because of their appearance and name?

"Mr. Edward. I'll keep asking, do you know Renoir and Ashley?

"Yeah, I know. You're a girl, but you're a rice-eater, Renoir, and you're always nasty and angry at her like that, aren't you, Ashley? No, I miss them. They're both genius skins, and they used to work out swords and magic with my mother. But Mr. Kelvin knew about both of them, didn't he? Did you meet him somewhere?

"Ha, yeah, that's a lot. Well, it just came up..."

"Huh?... Huh?

Edward, who is supposed to be smart, is a pocan. I guess in his mind right now, the situation is being sorted out fast.

"Yes, no, but the last I heard was that the two served some country..."

"Indeed, Renoir and Ashley served in the military Trisen and even climbed to the rank of general. But both of them received a letter from Ellen."

Then he abandons his position as a general, changes his name, and tells Edward that he has become an adventurer. Edward seemed to have a point, too, and yeah, he nodded frequently.

"What do you mean? I can't believe I was looking for my mother until I abandoned my position in a big country... I am ashamed of myself for being tied to my position and only dressed as an investigation into one of my duties..."

"No, they made my friend sad, too, and as a result, Mr. Ellen was mad at me. I think Edward, who did his job, is too good to be true."

"Thank you. If you say so, you will be saved even as I am. So, where are my mother and Renoir now?

"We're all within the eastern continent, but in a separate place for a reason... uh, Mr. Ellen's in the beast country gown, and Renoir and Ashley are both in the water country trage, but I think we're acting differently now"

"Really... it's this time of year. I can't see you right away. But let's just say I'll send you a letter. There are many things I'd like to say."

I kept a letter from Edward and exchanged promises to give it to the three of us. He was suddenly sent such a letter, and he must have spent his days stuffily hurting his chest. If that is the case, it is the muscle that is comfortable to accept.

"Oh, yeah. Mr. Edward, there's just one more thing I'd like to ask you."

Now, shall we cut out the key story?
