Chapter 94 : The Summoning Begins

 

“Good morning! Yesterday you guys came to the guild in order to prepare for the summoning, didn’t you? I would’ve come too if you guys had told me… But… Thank you very much for the help.”

 

“Morning. Hm~ It’s because we want Ren-chan to focus your mind for today~ Fufu~ You’re welcome, Ren-chan~”

 

We already promised to meet up in the guild this morning. I headed to the guild at 09.00 to see the three of them already waiting for me in the guild. I voiced my dissatisfaction to them before I thanked them properly.

 

“Shall we get on with the summoning now? Have you memorized the chant yet, Ren-kun?”

 

“Yes. It’s pretty short so I already have them memorized.”

 

“I’m glad to hear that. Let’s go then.”

 

Fer-san asked me about the chant before he took my hand and led me to the training ground. I was good at memorizing things so I was sure I’d be alright.

 

Ah…. Somehow I’m feeling a little nervous…

 

There were other people following us from behind too. I was told that summoning was a rare thing to do in the first place that was why a lot of people had come to ask for permission to observe our summoning for today. I gave my consent and to my surprise, there were a lot more people than I had expected to. I think there were about 30 people coming to watch. Malik-san and Tord-san were also there too.

 

With this many people… I really can’t afford to fail…

 

“Whoa… That’s a pretty big magic circle.”

 

“Yes. It’s because we will never know how big the beast that will be summoned. For your information, there’s a record of a beast over 20 meters being summoned, you know?”

 

Fer-san opened the door for me and after passing through the door, I saw a big magic circle floating in the middle of the training ground. The diameter of the magic circle must be at least over 15 meters. It must’ve taken a lot of time, drawing such a big magic circle with fine detail like this…

 

Summoned beast resembled a normal monster in some way. That meant their size usually should go for about 3 meters. But… If by any chance a beast with similar size to the record Fer-san had mentioned appeared, this magic circle then must be too small for them…?

 

“What will happen if a beast of that size appears?”

 

“Well… They would need to force their way through the available space. I guess their shape would become heavily distorted because of it?”

 

“That… That’s terrible..”

 

What?! 

 

I hoped the size of the beast I summoned would fit through this magic circle. I’d feel bad if the beast had their limbs bent in a weird way because they were too big!

 

“Also, these lines are floating in the air, right? So that means you guys didn’t draw it directly on the ground?”

 

I had been curious about it since the magic circle was floating about 10cm above ground.

 

“Yes. We used a special ink. You see that thing over there? We used that to draw a magic circle in the air.”

 

“Ooh…”

 

When I asked Fer-san about it, he pointed to a can a little further away from us. 

 

“Ah! Chris-san! Have you picked up the ring yet?”

 

“Yup, of course I have~ I will give it to you when you gonna need it~”

 

“I’m glad… Thank you very much!”

 

I had been worried about the rings but just like what I had expected, Chris-san had already picked it up for me. With this… There wasn’t anything left I needed to ask regarding the preparations…

 

“Okay… Let’s do the summoning.”

 

“Now then, please drip some of your blood here. The magic power contained in the blood will then call the beast to you. After pouring some of your blood, you can use [Heal] to close the wound.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Fer-san explained to me. I used the dagger I had brought to nip the index finger of my left hand and blood began to trickle out from the wound. I let two drops of blood drip on the place Fer-san had pointed out to me before I used [Heal] to close the wound.

 

The place where my blood hit began to glow in soft light. Little by little, the light then started to spread along the lines. 

 

“Ren, the three of us are here with you so everything will be alright. Now, hold out your hand and start chanting. After you summoned the beast, you’re the only one able to talk and hear their voice. You can decide if you want to sign a contract with them after talking, ‘kay?”

 

“Yes.”

 

With Chris-san on my left, Fer-san on my right and Sig-san standing right behind me, I was completely surrounded by them.

 

Yes. The three of them are here with me. Surely everything will be alright. If by any chance the beast decided to rebel, they still won’t be able to take a step outside the magic circle…. Okay! Let’s do it!

 

“【I seek you, the one who is drawn to me. You who come from the land of darkness, reveal yourself before me. Obey me and use your power for my sake. Summon. 】”

 

I fixed my gaze on the center of the magic circle. I outstretched my palm over it, reciting the chant as if I was singing. 

 

“…. Umm, nothing is happening? Did I fail?”

 

I had finished chanting but there was no change with the magic circle. 

 

Huh? Did I fail?! Even though so many people had put their hopes on me?! 

 

Averting my gaze from the magic circle, I hang my head down in shame. 

 

Ah… What should I do…

 

“No. Look closer. There’s something trying to break out from the center of the magic circle.”

 

“What?!”

 

Fer-san said that and I immediately raised my head to see something glimmering in the middle of the magic circle. 

 

『Get the hell out of my way! I’m the one coming through!』

 

『So fucking annoying! Are you the owner of this magic power?! No?! Of course I’m the one coming in!』

 

I heard voices coming from nowhere. I wonder who was speaking?

 

“Umm… Who’s talking about coming and not coming?”

 

“Huh? Nobody is talking though?”

 

“What? But… I clearly heard someone said『You fucker! I won’t be able to sign a contract like this!』?”

 

I asked who was shouting during such an important moment like this but Sig-san said no one was talking.

 

Could it be… I’m the only one who could hear it?!

 

“Are you hearing something?”

 

“Yes… Umm… I hear the voice of someone shouting…”

 

“Hah? Shouting?”

 

“Yes… I think… The voice is coming from over there.”

 

I pointed my finger at the place where something was still giving out a faint, glimmering shine. As of now, the two voices were still hurling curse after curse at each other. 

 

“Guess the demons are fighting with each other?”

 

“Umm.. Get the hell away! They were saying things like that.”

 

“At any rate, it appears Ren-kun has summoned two beasts…”

 

Huh? The beasts I summoned are already quarreling from the get go? Even if I did manage to land a contract with them, I wonder if I could work well with them?

 

“Wh-What should I do?”

 

“Hm~ Ren-chan, why don’t you try talking with them first?~ They’re lured here by your magic power so I’m sure they will react to your voice~”

 

I was confused and at a loss of what to do when Chris-san told me that. 

 

“Y-yes! Hey! For the time being, can you guys come out from there first? We need to talk before we can set a contract!”

 

I shouted loudly at the magic circle. I guess my action must’ve looked strange to the people watching from the sidelines..? Ah but they should’ve known that only a contractor could speak with the summoned beast so they shouldn’t be thinking I was weird or anything. 

 

『Ah! That’s right! I don’t have time to talk with you! I’m going to go to my master’s place promptly!』

 

『Ah, fine. Let’s call it a truce for now.』

 

Ah, it seemed like they could hear my voice without any problem. I could see a figure trying to crawl out from the magic circle. 

 

“Ah, they’re coming.”

 

“Oh?~ As I thought, there’s more than one of them~”

 

Responding to my voice, the beasts I had summoned jumped out, cutting through the air from the center of the magic circle.
