Black Summoner - Chapter 118
Chapter 118 Promotion Ceremony
City of Pars ・ Temporary Hall
On the day of the promotion ceremony, in the center of the city, we went to a temporary venue built in a multi-purpose square used for festivals. Chairs for guests lined up next to an aisle in the center of the hall. Ordinary visitors could see it from the periphery of the hall. However, it was also amazing to create a venue of this scale in 3 days. I wondered if it was due to the power of skill after all.
“Oh, Kelvin! You’ve already come.”
“Good morning, Angie. I haven’t asked for your care today.”
“Aha ~. It’s an honor to be asked by a new S-class adventurer. Yeah, leave it to me now that you are a big shot.”
Today, Angie will accompany me as an attendant for the day and will guide me to the promotion ceremony and the mock battle. Angie was my best friend of the guild’s staff. Rio might have her taken care of me.
“It’s a little early, but I’ll explain today’s schedule first.”
Angie took a piece of paper from the pochette on her shoulder and distributed it to everyone. Well, it looked like the schedule.
“The ceremony will start at 10 o’clock. Until then, it’s okay to be free, but it would be helpful if you are here early. Formal wear is prepared for the number of people in the guild, so change your clothes in the waiting room.”
“Are we going to wear formal attire? I thought it would be good to have equipment for the mock battle.”
I was getting excited to wear the black robe I was using ‘Hug of wisdom-Astaroth Breath’.
“I’m sorry. It’s not a rule, but the guild master is strangely motivated. It seems that he made everyone’s part at his own discretion. Because it is a guild official ceremony uniform, you can wear it at any ceremony. I’ll give it free of charge, put up with it just during the promotion ceremony. What? And Mel? “
“Well, Mel nii isn’t feeling well today and she’s absent today. She’s been sick since yesterday.”
“Is that so? I have to go to see her later.”
Rion explained to Angie with the excuse of being unwell, but this was a lie. Melfina was in my magic. As I talked to Melfina before, it was a workaround to keep her out of sight from the people of Delamis and Collette. I didn’t think it was necessary to do that, but the other said that Collette was very likely to notice Melfina. Does it mean that you are not a Shrine Maiden if not blessed by Melfina? The shrine maiden of Delamis, it’s cool.
[That’s right, but do you say it’s not…]
[Hmm, did you say something?]
[I think it’s faster to actually meet].
Melfina’s appearance is a little strange from the morning. Is she really sick?
“Once the ceremony is over, we’ll eat lunch and then it’s the mock battle that we’ve been waiting for in the afternoon. I wonder if customers from other countries are coming for the match. You can only watch S-class matches at such a time.”
“Kelvin, you must win! I won’t forgive you if you lose!”
“Of course, I’m seriously going to win.”
Sara was excited since the morning.
“Sa, Sara-san is strangely enthusiastic.”
Angie whispered to me.
“There were a lot of things yesterday. Please leave her alone.”
“That’s right. Kelvin has it tough too… If you have any problems, talk to me, so please rely on me!”
“Thank you, Angie. I’ll be saved.”
After all, Angie and I are good friends. I want to continue to get along as a friend.
“Master. we have two hours left before the ceremony. What would you like?”
“We came a little too early. Kill time somewhere…”
“Oh, isn’t it Kelvin and Uncle Gerard?”
A loud voice was heard from behind. Even if you didn’t turn around, you would know who it was. Gerard was upset.
“Prettya. It’s been since the day before yesterday.”
As I expected, behind me was Goldiana Prettyana. The makeup was darker than when I met her before, and she looked more stylish. was that a prettier dress-up? It’s dangerous.
“Yeah. It’s finally the promotion ceremony today. I’m watching over in the shadow, so I’ll do my best.”
“Ha, ha, ha, it is encouraging.”
“Even so, there’s still time until the ceremony? I was thinking of reading at my favorite coffee shop while having breakfast… Will my uncle come with me?”
‘Capi!’ A heart flies from the wink, but this is Gerard’s. He couldn’t accept it and avoided it.
[That is not for this one.]
Oh, Gerard avoided the approaching heart. This is a shy one.
But the coffee shop is not a bad option. I think we can hear an interesting story from Prettya, so let her join us here.
“We’re wasting our time, so we’ll bother you.”
“Oh, really!?”
“Angie… what happened?”
Suddenly, Angie was solidified.
“Ke, Kelvin. That person is Goldiana Prettyana, the “Peach Demon” of the West Continent!? When did you get to know each other?”
“Huh? Haven’t you heard of the case with Sara?”
“Miss Sara? The story of the new dungeon that Rion-chan came to report? Does that have anything to do with Goldiana?”
Hmm? Wasn’t Prettya who contacted the guild?
“Oh, I’m sorry Kel-nii. I didn’t talk about it in detail. I was the one who went to report the monster subjugation the new dungeon. And I just put Gerard-jii before the guild and rushed to the mansion alone.”
“So that was why Rion arrived at the mansion one step later?”
That’s right, the guard golems reacted because Prettya was alone.
“No, that… I just ran ahead.”
“Because Pretty-chan is already intimidating.”
Prettya sticks out her tongue and turns red. No, I want my women to do such poses.
“Let’s go to the coffee shop! let’s talk about it then!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We killed time at Prettya’s recommended Coffee Shop and then moved to the venue hall. Once in front of the venue, we broke up and headed to the waiting room and Prettya headed to the guest seats.
“It was a coffee shop with a nice atmosphere.”
“Oh. I thought it would be more unconventional, but surprisingly, Prettya has good taste.”
Except for her clothes. Now, let’s change into the formal wear prepared by Rio in a calm place.
“Well, these are the ceremonial clothes.”
Angie handed me a package. It seems that the type of ceremonial dress is different for each, and mine was an aristocratic black dress. Decorated with laces and engraved with the wings that are the coat of arms of Pars’ Adventurer’s Guild.
Women such as Efil, Sara, and Rion will be given dresses that suit their moods. It seems that these items have been devised by guild staff over the night. Hey, did you put effort into it? Wings are carved like in my formal wear, and the rank is quite high as A class.
“I have a dress for Mel, so please give it to her later.”
“OK. I’m sure she’ll be happy.”
[E, Efil! There is no hole in this dress, for wings and tail!]
[No problem. I left the sewing tools to Clo-chan, so I can fix them in a few seconds.]
Sara is in a hurry, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem if you leave it to Efil.
Gerard in armor is given a white exterior with wings engraved, but due to the characteristics of “self-remodeling”, if you equip the crimson cloak will it disappear. Or, if you equip it once, you won’t be able to remove this exterior?
“Hmm, Angie. It’s bad for my personal circumstances, but is it okay for this one to stay as it is?”
“Oh, Gerard is okay, because the guild chief gave up because you never took off the equipment.”
“Um, um. Is that so?”
Gerard, I feel like something is strangely misunderstood.
“Kelvin, you go in that changing room, and Efil and her friends go into this girls’ changing room. Then come to call me when it’s time. As I said at the coffee shop, it’s okay to just say “yes” to the ceremony. Rest assured. See you ~ “
I am pushed by Angie into the changing room alone.
“Do you want to change clothes?”
[You look sorry for some reason.]
