Black Summoner

 

―――― Southeast Gown Territory, Heraldry Forest

 

“Well, I ran a lot. Is there an elf village here?”

 

This is a lush place where the dark green forest spreads around the border with Trisen, southeast of the Beast Country Gown. After reading a letter from Leonhard, the beast king handed by Rio, we visited here after several days of preparation. It didn’t take much longer than I expected. Our feet are several times faster than horses.

 

Now, it is a letter of the question, but the content is very simple, written by Leonhard “Notice of implementation of S-class promotion exam”!

 

…… No, I was honest with unexpected content. I write such a thing with a strangely powerful character. After all, the king of the gown has sent me a letter of the exam, and I’ve just put a tsukkomi on the spot.

 

Rio supplemented this. First, there are some conditions for promotion of the adventurer rank to S class. In short, it is as follows.

 

(1) Successful requests for Grade A and above for 10 consecutive times.

 

(2) Has experience in fulfilling S-class equivalent requests.

 

(3) Obtain permission from the kings of the two east continents. (Other conditions apply if you belong to the western continent)

 

④ Pass the promotion test in the presence of an S-class adventurer.

 

In my case, ① and ② have already been achieved. ③ and ④ are the problems. In fact, these two points were related to Leonhard’s letter.

 

First, ③, but Rio seemed to have handed it in advance, and he received permission from the camellia of Traj. Perhaps it was the only acquaintance of the king, and it seemed that Tsubaki had accepted it. After all, connection with people is important.

 

However, in order to achieve ③, you must obtain permission from another king. Trysen plays because the current situation is bad, and the rest is the beast country gown and the Emperor Deramis. It was Leonhard, the king of the gown, that immediately responded.

 

The royal family of gowns seems to have a custom of going on a journey of samurai training when they are teenagers, and King Leonhard then lived as an adventurer and was promoted to S-class. After the training trip, he has successfully won the battle royale who selects the strongest person in the country, and is now in his position. I can’t say people anyway, but it’s pretty messy. Such a letter from King Leonhard, the true meaning of it —――

 

Well, it seems that Mr. Leonhard, an S-class adventurer, will witness the promotion exam (it seems to be monitoring from somewhere). I was wondering why it was so important, but it seems that Rio camellia’s bragging story came into King Leonhard’s ear.

 

The Beast Country Gown is a country that honors the strong man, and no candidate for the S-class adventurer appears soon. In short, I got interested. The king himself will be the examiner, trying to determine my power.

 

“… mysterious. I feel nostalgic.”

 

Efil gazed up at the trees in the forest.

 

“Efil is a half elf. The blood of the elf may be doing it. This forest has a lot of magic.”

 

“But weird, wasn’t the elf a race on the west continent? The adventurer and merchant stray elf rarely seen, but did you learn that the home village is not on the east continent?”

 

Pure elves are closed and rare. As Serra remembers, in the eastern continent, you are unlikely to see unless you are a stranger.

 

“There seems to have been an elf settlement that moved from the continent a dozen years ago. I don’t know what happened, but now the gown is protecting it.”

 

“Fum. And this test protects the new elf village …”

 

Test written in King Leonhard’s letter. It was the subjugation of an unidentified monster appearing in the elf village. Rio used to say that various problems were occurring near the border with Trisen. This elf village is no exception, and it is said that a monster has recently appeared in the forest.

 

monsters that can be subjugated in E-class to D-class have appeared before, but this new kind of monster seems to be taking a B-level monster and scolding an elf. Its strength is probably equivalent to the S class …. It is said that the general soldiers in gowns are struggling because their monsters do not have teeth.

 

Primarily, it seems that the king and the higher ranks in the army will deal with it, but it seems that the monsters have become violent these days, and there seems to be insufficient manpower. King Leonhard can measure my ability, and the problem will be solved and two birds with one stone. No, I do n’t mind. It ’s hard to fight the S class.

 

“I’m in Kell, isn’t the country involved in that Trisen?”

 

“That’s probably true. Elves have never been old and both men and women are in good shape. It’s no wonder there are guys who try to become slaves.”

 

“Um, like a king”

 

“Yes, like Kelvin!”

 

“Yes, like you”

 

Hey, why are you guys watching me? I’ll tell you, I don’t hate Efil. I don’t want to do it.

 

“I was in Kell, I was a elf moe!”

 

“Lyon, don’t get me wrong”

 

Recently I noticed that Lion’s knowledge is quite biased. Brothers and sisters take a bath together! I’m going to rush into the bathroom on a daily basis. I don’t think so, but it may be purely convinced that knowledge of some comics and novels is like that. This is my brother (provisional), and I have to bring it up!

 

When I was determined in my heart, Efil gently grabbed my sleeve.

 

“It’s okay, my husband. I’m looking forward to my husband and I’m proud of my husband’s slaves”

 

After all, Efil was an angel.

— Heraldry Forest, Elf’s Village

 

The forest where the elves live, it seems to be called the “Crest of the Emblem”, but the crest is engraved everywhere. It seems to play a role of a magical barrier as far as it can be seen with the appraisal eye. It may be a means to protect yourself from foreign enemies that invade the forest, but it is also a thing that is effective against us. I looked down from the sky, but it also generated a phantom visually to prevent the location.

 

“I will enhance my senses with magic”

 

“No, this way!”

 

“Yeah … I’m in Kell, this little bird has a village over there!”

 

“I feel nostalgic from that side”

 

, but with the help of Melfina’s auxiliary magic, Sera uses the sensing skills, Lion tells the direction of the village from animals that became friends in the forest, and relies on Efil’s feeling as an elf There are too many ways to explore. When we proceeded with everyone, we were able to see the cocoons and caskets made of wood. It seems that he was able to arrive at the village without hesitation.

 

For the time being, our purpose is to subjugate, but what if we were lost here, what would we do … Well, this is also part of the exam.

 

By the way, unfortunately, I haven’t encountered any target monsters that seem to be class B or higher so far.

 

“People there, stop!”

 

screaming from the top of the fence when approaching the front gate. When I looked up, three elves were holding bows and arrows and pointing their heads here.

 

“This forest is protected by a barrier! You are not a lost person, who are you!”

 

“My name is Kelvin, an adventurer who was brought to life by King Leonhard”

 

“This is the king’s work !?”

 

Elves are upset.

 

“This is a letter of introduction. I want you to check it.”

 

I raised Leonhard’s letter of introduction from Rio, generated a gentle breeze with green magic, and delivered it to the elves.

 

“Wait! Call the elder! Wait for a while!”

 

“I understand”

 

Talk to elders at once? As expected, the letter of introduction of King Gown is outstanding. Well, I’m curious that the remaining elves don’t let go of their bows. Maybe I’m worried about the appearance of monsters.

 

“… Thank you for waiting. We will welcome you as a guest. Please forgive many rudeness. Open the gate!”

 

Rattle and wooden gate go up. When we passed through the gate, a lot of elves gathered in a place that seems to be a village square. No one is old, all are youthful and beautiful. A male elf stands at the top. Is this elf an elder? Of course, it looks young.

 

“I often came from a distant place. My name is Nerras, I am the elven village elder.”

 

It seems that he was also an elder.

 

“Kelvin, this time —”

 

A simple greeting and self-introduction.

 

―――― Things happened when the introduction went around and it became Efil’s turn.

 

GATT!

 

“If it’s stupid …?”

 

“Elder? How was it done?”

 

Nerras, who saw Efil, slipped down and fell down. The elves around me aren’t all, but some seem to be surprised.

 

“Le, Rumil … Why are you alive …?”

 

…… Who is it?
