Black Summoner - Chapter 101
Chapter 101 Promotion Notice
Kelvin’s House
We arrived at Perth just before the sun went down. At the main gate of the mansion, as usual, two golems are sitting with Halberds in their hand. There seems to be no abnormality here either.
I passed through the main gate and approached the fountain in the garden, I found Lucas weeding in the corner of the garden. Luca noticed us before we called out and sprinted towards us.
“Master! Welcome back!”
“Oh, Luca. Were you a good girl and listened to Elie?”
“Yeah! My mom and I protected the house in your absence! Welcome back Chief maid!”
“I’m back now. Let’s check everything right away.”
“Huh, let’s take a rest first!”
It was clearly seen in Luca’s face that she didn’t like that.
Efil’s guidance is quite strict. Efil is usually mild and kind to everyone, but there is no compromise in her duties as a maid. It seems that the same is true for her subordinates, Ellie and Luca, who are being educated quite hard every day. Even so, the reason why they have earned a lot of trusts is that they firmly constructed a path in close contact with Efil to reach their high goals.
Also, the occasional maid meals may be a factor. When I happened to pass by the corridor, I saw Luca eating meals in tears. Efil is quite a tactician to grab not only her master but also the hearts of her subordinates from the stomach.
Well, I don’t think that Efil has such aims, but I guess it works for Lucas.
Thanks to Efil’s training policy, even amateurs can see that both of them are growing steadily as maids. I’ve raised their level enough and earned skill points, so I’m really looking forward to the future.
“Oh, that’s right. I have souvenirs.”
Rion takes out the fruit she got from the Elven Village and presents it to Luca.
“Wow, some fruit I’ve never seen! Rion sama, can I eat it too?”
“Yeah! It’s like a pear and it’s delicious. There are so many, so I’ll have Efil cut it later.”
“Then I can do it too! Okay, I’ll show you the results of the special training…”
“Luca, what’s wrong with are you being so noisy? Oh, my Master?”
Ellie appears from the door of the mansion, perhaps in response to our voice. Like Luca, she immediately noticed us. I wonder if she was cleaning the entrance hall.
“Welcome back. I’m sorry for the late greeting.”
“Don’t worry. And we’ve just returned.”
“Ellie, did you have any problems?”
“No, everything is smooth … However, a letter has arrived from the Adventurer’s Guild to the Master.”
If it’s a letter from the guild at this time, it’s probably something related to the promotion.
“A letter … Bring it to me to the living room later.”
“I understand.”
It’s already late. Let’s just look at the letter and I’ll go to the guild tomorrow.
“That? By the way, what about your Oji-chan?”
“Gerard is on a training trip for about a week.”
“Is that so? I wanted to show Oji-chan how I handle my knife.”
Luca pouted and used her hand as a knife while showing the gesture of peeling a fruit.
“It’s okay. I’ll take responsibility for Gerard.”
“Oh, I’ll eat that too. It was pretty good.”
“Okay, let’s all eat after dinner.”
Let’s go into the mansion and take a break.
[King, King! Please, let me eat it! It’s a heartfelt request!]
‘Not a homemade dish of my beloved Luca, neither a cut fruit.’ The cry of Gerard’s soul, who wanted to eat anything, echoed in vain. By the way, it’s not noisy because I lowered the volume of Gerard’s voice.
I came up with a devilish punishment. This even makes me feel that Gerard’s mentality won’t stand it. It may be better to shorten the humble period a little.
Kelvin House / Living Room
The living room was set up in a relatively large room on the mansion’s first floor. It is a relaxing space where many people can take a break. It is a place where Efil puts effort into furniture selection. It has a Western-style fireplace and a rug made of a White saber beast that I took out myself. The large couch seems to be Sara’s and Rion’s favorite, and it’s always rumbling at this hour.
“Ah, home calm me down after all.”
“That’s right ~. It’s even more so after a long time ~”
“You are taking it as soon as we get home …”
When I entered the room, Sara and Rion were already occupying it all. Even though it’s big, if two people lie down, there isn’t a tiny space for me to sit down. Alex, who suddenly emerged from Rion’s shadow, is also curled up in front of the fireplace.
When I was thinking about buying another sofa, Efil called out from behind. A tray with a cup of tea in her hand. It had a rare scent, probably one of the souvenirs of the village.
“Excuse me. Master, when will you have dinner?”
“Everyone is resting now; I wonder if it will be fine in one hour. Ah, but aren’t you tired, Efil?”
From the elf village to the Perth, we ran quite a bit, albeit with a break. I’m sorry for Efil to let her cook as soon as we get home.
“I’m okay, but I’ve been stopped by Ellie and Lucas … they’ll prepare the meal today.”
“Oh, it’s rare. you used to teach and help them with cooking, but you’ve never let them do the whole meal, right?”
Efil has something like pride in the kitchen. No matter how tired she was, she would try to do it herself, so I thought I would force her to rest.
“I was so worried.”
Melfina appeared with a platter of cookies.
“Mel-sama, if it’s sweets, I’ll carry them.”
“No. I carry this. Did you forget that Ellie and the others told you earlier, Efil? You’re holding everything by yourself.”
“Well, but …”
“But you are not alone. Remember to rely on those who surround you a little, especially in your subordinates, because they both want to help you.”
“Did something happen?”
It seems that there was a rush in a place I didn’t know.
“No, when I tried to prepare a meal, they stopped me. They said, ‘The maid chief must also take a rest.’”
“And I who appeared in the place dashingly went to Luca and the Ellie’s side.”
Mel pushed a cookie into Efil’s mouth. Efil shyly ate it with mogu-mogu.
“Even if you say that you will work harder than ever, you cannot overdo it. Because you are more important than anything else, it will be sad if you fall down.”
“Well, it may have been worrisome. Master, Eli and Luca, I will guarantee the growth of the two. Please, please enjoy their food. Hmm? “
“That’s right.”
I pulled Efil’s cheeks with both hands.
“Uh-uh-eh!?”
“That’s natural, isn’t it? I’d rather eat Efil’s beloved dish.”
“Oh yeah, Efil should be a little loose.”
“Yeah, like us”
Rion, Sara, you guys are too loose.
“It’s okay to be a maid but take a break from time to time. So, give Efil a little bit of that looseness.”
“”OK!””
They took the tray that Efil had.
“Eh? Yeah?”
“Come on, Efil, let’s hang out together over there!”
“The holiday is something to enjoy! Come on!”
Efil was dragged by the sly devil to the sofa. I didn’t want that to happen, but I want her to be a little refreshed.
“Mel, thank you for caring for Efil. It’s saved me because I think that she is strained even if she was able to make a subordinate.”
“Even if I didn’t do it, Luca and Ellie did. Above all, you can enjoy their food.”
“You……”
This guy really didn’t shake. No, is she shy?
[My Liege… Lucas’s home cooking …]
Gerard was about to shed tears of blood.
All right! I’ll release you before dinner!
[My liege!]
I feel that Gerard’s loyalty had increased.
It’s such a noisy supper, but four days later, a fairly important event is coming up. A letter from the guild that I glanced at earlier. The following was written there. Simply put:
① Accept the passing of the promotion test.
② Formal promotion ceremony will be held in the Adventurer’s Guild 4 days later.
③ After the ceremony, a simulated match between the new S-class adventurer and a current S-class adventurer will be held.
Personally, I’m happy, but I think ③ is too abrupt. Does that mean a festival?
