Black Summoner

The next thing he woke up to be Rio was near the dark purple forest where he had died in his previous life. This is where the vicious monsters gather, but apparently Riordo was never attacked. I wake up slowly, thinking in my head if what happened earlier is a dream or not.

"Whoa, are you awake? You had a long nap, lovely sleeping face. It was worth the rush."

In response to an inadvertently hung voice, Riordo flirts with Ba.

(Huh! This is...)

At this time, Riordo was quite surprised. This is true for voices that no one knows, but above all, the high level of their physical abilities has drained their liver. I haven't checked my status yet, but I can just move my body a little to see one of the scales, the power of missteps. That must have been what Riordo was aiming for and burning.

"What do you say? You're totally different on your own, aren't you? At an early level, so if we work out again, it'll be even more amazing."

"Yeah, I was very surprised.... By the way, what about you?

It was Riordo who somehow perceived her standing in these few conversations, but there's no way she wouldn't make a single confirmation. Turning his gaze again, there was a blue-haired woman sitting on a large rock. The appearance is in the late twenties, the outfit is of the adventurer that, if I may add, is beautiful.

"I know you've heard from the deputies, but my name is Precedent. Call me the Precedent as it is. He's part of the apostolate of God you're about to be, and this is still quite an old stock, isn't it? It's like a senior. I know it's a short relationship, but I'm glad you're okay with it. Trainee?"

"... the way you put it, it's like an assumption I'm going to fall for?

"Oh, did I sound that way? I'm sorry, it's a mistake. Anyway, if you were truly recognized as an apostle, I would be retiring from the apostle. That's the last mission, the clogging, that I've been tasked with bringing you up fine."

"What, retired...? Do evil organizations have retirements, too?

"Pfft! Come on, you talk funny analogies, don't you? I was struck unexpectedly without a pattern."

The Predecessor is grinning with his belly on the rock. I didn't mean to be hairy, I meant to ask him a serious question, and Riordo accidentally blushed.

"Huh, I laughed. I laughed. By the way, you wear glasses, do you have bad eyes?

"Yeah. I've been a book bug since I was a kid, and because of that, I'm only blurry when I'm naked eye--"

"- Hey, why don't you take those glasses off?

"What?"

Riordo, who unexpectedly appears in front of him and takes off his glasses. After such an exchange as surprise, Riordo learned of the existence of the "divine eye" expressed as a gift. Under the direction of his predecessor and mentor, the Predecessor, it was no exaggeration to say that Rio's power, which became apparent one after the other, was close to omnipotence.

"Shh, wow...! With this power, you're going to be able to do anything!

"Hmm, I see. Mr. Riordo, that power is certainly amazing, but I don't know if it should be too turbulent. In other words, it's forbidden to use it until I say it's good in the future."

"What? Is it prohibited? Why?"

"Because, you, your body isn't chasing after the power of your eyes. Hey, Mirror."

Where did the Precedent take it from, stick out an expensive looking hand mirror in front of Riordo without any foreshadowing. Turning to his own face, Riordo turned his eyes round to see what was going on.

"... uh"

Riordo says. Even if they show me the mirror, I don't know how to react.

"Don't you see? Um, you're the kind of person who can look out for you, but you're the kind of person who makes fun of yourself? Not only do you have to rely on the power of your eyes, but you also have to develop more insight."

"I don't even know that...... after all, what is it?

"Wrinkles on my face, nagging but increasing. You were in your early twenties, weren't you? A little bit, but I feel older than I just did."

………

While Riordo was confused, the Predecessor proceeded on his own. Says, the more the power of the divine eye is used, the older Riordo consumes his life expectancy. Says, if you want to maintain the same friendship, lifestyle as before, sudden appearance fluctuations are suspicious. It is undesirable even as an apostle, he said.

"Doesn't that make this power totally meaningless...?

"Not as it is now. You seem smart, and you know how humans evolve, don't you?

"Ah, yes. Only as knowledge. I'm afraid I've actually met someone like that."

"No, no, you've already met him. Or is that how you pretend?

"... with you, are you a proxy?

"Correct! Sarasu ~"

After an exchange equal to a guided interrogation, Riordo was taught in detail about human evolution. Compared to common monsters, humans rarely evolve. but assuming it could evolve, life expectancy would grow exponentially to be elf-like. Riordo himself had read a book with such contents before, and although he did not fully believe in this, he did not do so much to doubt it.

"The point is, I'll evolve you! This is the big premise of using your abilities!

"Simply put, it's not actually an easy thing, is it?

"That's natural. It won't do you any good as an apostle without some difficulty. [M] Until you evolved."

"I know. I haven't seen my friends since I was an adventurer. Even if it evolved immediately, at least you won't see it until the years that match my face have passed."

"Oh, is that good?

"Even you noticed the change in my face. Mists who have traveled with us for years will know at a glance. That is not for me as an apostle. Isn't that right?

"Oh, that's good. I know exactly what should take precedence over emotion. I knew you'd be a good messenger. [M] Not a good messenger. I assure you with confidence."

"I'm not happy at all that I was guaranteed such a thing..."

"By the way, is that mist your girlfriend?

"Buffoo!

Thereafter, Riordo will have his training days with his predecessors. The journey back and forth from level 1, now that I had already surpassed myself in the past, was somewhat close to a workout to quit the human race. And the months and days flow, and years pass.

Evolving from man to saint, Riordo had grown to the point where he could control the power of the divine eye with the art of concealing his own status. The Predecessor, who was a single master, retired from the Apostle the last time Riordo became independent. He said he disappeared to the western continent and laughed that he would indulge in the rest of his life until the day the world was purified.

While doing his job as an apostle, Riordo was travelling around to find out where his former companions were. Finding people who would take time and effort if they were normal is easy for Riordo, who has all-purpose eyes. In a few days, I'll finish investigating everyone's safety and whereabouts, and I'll be relieved that they're all alive first. And...

"- Rio?"

"Hey, how have you been?!?

The key reunion, the phrase that I lost track of because I couldn't decide what to do with this, I commit the lapse of being discovered and hugged by my friends. My buddies were still partying together looking for Rio, who was missing. There's no way there's a carnivore monster in the dungeon, and it seems to have been an act of suspicion that Rio's body wasn't there.

"Oh, my God! Don't worry about me!

"I don't want to borrow it. Yikes! You lived a lot, you big idiot!

"Wow, that's good...!

"Excuse me, excuse me!

The four who have reunited will start partying again to get the best out of running adventurers. Being an apostle, Riordo disguised himself as a strength before his best, helping his companions in the shadows so that they could climb higher. It is unclear whether that was redemption for him, but he worked together as an adventurer until he used the side effects of the divine eye and reduced his life expectancy.

Did that succeed, originally class B would have been the limit, their final class would have reached class A and their name would have been inscribed on the Adventurer's Register. Riordo, in particular, seemed to be appreciated by the Adventurer Guild headquarters present on the Western Continent, and even though he was not an S-class adventurer, he was somehow given two names: "Analyst". Is it a coincidence that you've worn your name as an apostle, or...

After the adventurer's retirement, the four become working as guild leaders for each guild branch as a good role model for the adventurer. Mists are like Trage, leaders are gowns, wizards are like Trisen, and Rio is like Delamis. Then the years passed further and Riordo eventually went to the Alliance branch of Pars. Even though it has been quite some time since he retired from the Adventurer, Riordo was ordered to work as an Alliance, as an Apostle, and even as an educator for a new Apostle, to spend his days in a hurry.

...... but Riordo had not forgotten his own mission. The purification of the world, the help to stop it, was gradually found.

- Hey, you're the rumor, Kelvin.
