This is my first home in days. Mr. Berengaria seems to have secured his place already.

"I'm home.

"Uh, Mr. Curse, welcome back! What have you been up to lately? Bad spot?"

"No, I'm just playing around Noir Forest.

Why are you going to evil places at this age?

"Curse, welcome back. Looking good.

"Mother, I'm home. What day of the month, what day of the week is it?

"Oh, you don't know the date anymore? It's Kernia Day, June 2nd.

It was dangerous! If we go to the capital by tonight, we'll be fine.

"Hey, Mother. Don't you have any magic tricks that can tell the date and time?

"Um, there is..."

"I do?

"It's expensive and heavy, isn't it? Three white gold coins, maybe five hundred kilometers.

What the hell?

"That's tough. I don't think I need it. Ah! If you were my mother, what would you do to protect a wide area when you're not in person?

"Oh, that's an example territory. I usually use a guard dog or a number golem, right? Otherwise... try to remember summoning magic?

Oh! You had that magic, too. Sounds interesting!

"I want to remember! You can call me Clo or something, right?

"That's right. Half lucky, but with Curse's magic, I'm sure he can call a powerful demon.

"That's nice! What am I supposed to do, feed or something? While you were giving me your turn.

"Curse's magic will diminish all the while you summon him. That's the bait. Occasionally, some unfortunate people call demons not worthy of strength and die of depletion of magic. This has nothing to do with Curse.

Huh? That's scary magic! But Cro was moffy and cute, wasn't he?

"Puppy Puppy?"

Whoa, Ko can make friends? 'Cause it is! I'm a friend of Ko's!

"So, Mother, what do I do? From the chant, after all?

"Right. You should see this chant. But the problem is the place. In my case, I could have called the Noir Wolf because I summoned him in the Noir Forest. Then pay attention because you can't call the next one until the demon you called once dies.

"I see. Then you better call me where you want me to protect you. Looks like the best demon will come?

"Right. You'd better do that. Looking forward to seeing what kind of kids will come.

That's a long chant. Well, you don't need to remember, and you should say it while you watch. Let's say I borrow it.

"So, Mr. Curse? What are you playing at over there? Tell me, right?

"No, it's not a big deal. I'm just trying to surround the land with walls and build a mansion. You can go in over the walls, but you were thinking of countermeasures because you got annoyed when they dumped the trash. Did Mr. Berengaria become our maid of honor more than that?

"Yes! You broke up Little Wing, too. I'm a maid of honor to Lady Alan!

I see. Not to the Martins, but to your father. Are you sure? I don't know why anymore!

"Thank you, Mother! We need to get to the Reichsfuhrer by tonight, so stop by the Noir Forest before we do that and use our summoning magic!

At the Martin's after Curse left.

"Ma'am... did you understand what you were saying?

"I got it. We need to get to the territorial capital by evening, but then it's too late to stop by Noir Forest. So stop by before then and use your summoning magic.

It also takes sixteen to eight days for a regular adventurer to go from Kutanutsu to the Noir Forest Forest in a forcible army. It takes seven days to reach the capital. Curse talking about that as if stopping by a tea shop on the way home from school. Belengaria knew by her head, but she couldn't keep up with her mind.
