Black Summoner - Chapter 81
Chapter 81: Suspicious Shadows
―――Kelvin’s private room
“Hmm…”
I woke up early in the morning when the sun hasn’t risen yet, which was rare. Before my mind awakens, the familiar and reassuring scent tickles my nose and feels a soft warmth.
“Soo…Soo…”
Efil was still sleeping on my chest. I usually sleep until Efil asked me to wake me up. It may have been a long time since I saw her sleeping face. Her sleeping face is still that of an angel.
After enjoying the sleeping face and warmth of Efil one more time, I quietly lowered Efil so as not to wake her up and tried to get out of bed.
Mumun.
Something touched my back. Something very soft to the touch. And a white arm suddenly swung around my neck.
“Fuhe, I am already full… but I want seconds…”
The tone is a little different, but this is Melfina’s voice. She seems to be asleep, what’s going on? Hey god, she is drooling. Hey, don’t wipe it with my bedclothes.
Why is Melfina in my bed? I suddenly wondered, but I could remember the answer immediately. The game with Sara yesterday “Which food is tonight!” Melfina, who won the game, sneaked into my bed? As expected, her luck value is over 900.
Efil concluded with a single phrase “if the master is good”, and let it pass. I’ll tell you; I’m not doing anything to be jealous of today. This is just Melfina sleeping and pressing her chest. It is not something to be ashamed of. The palm-sized chest just feels good.
From one case, I was a bit traumatized by having someone´s hands around my neck, but this time is Melfina. I have nothing to fear. I gently remove the arm from my neck.
“Wow, you have deep sleep…”
Eventually, I escape from Melfina. While trying to get out of her arms, she tried to stick her legs, she is aggressive in her dreams.
“This is the legendary sushi…!”
“What are you dreaming about?”
It’s a big deal to let me put a Tsukkomi while sleeping. However, it’s something to eat in her dream… Surprisingly, the one who eats the most is Melfina. I feel like she is eating lightly twice as much as Gerard. It’s a mystery where this small body, which is about 160 cm tall, can accommodate so much food.
“Suu…mmm…”
“Hmm… you, sir…”
I gently stroke their hair. When I look at their faces again in this way, the girls are completely unrealistic.
“I couldn’t think of this in my past life… I don’t remember.”
I have knowledge of my world before, but I don’t remember anything about myself. I can guess if it’s about my hobbies or tastes, but the information about my family and friends is completely forgotten. Well, I don’t really think about it as my memory. It’s just like someone else’s memory.
My place is just in this world. Melfina who reincarnated in this world, Efil who continued to support me, and my friends living together.
“For that reason, we have to get rid of those who hurt us.”
As I look out the window lit by the moonlight, I think about what caused me to wake up at such a time.

―――Kelvin’s House/Balcony
The destination I went to, was the balcony on the second floor of the mansion. Apparently, some customers have already arrived.
“Oh, you’re late.”
“Good morning Kell-nii! Is it time to say it?”
Sara, Clotho, Rion, and Alex are at their feet.
“Good morning. I’m sorry, I just woke up.”
“Hmm, what were you doing?”
Sara pouted and looked away. What, you look a little in a bad mood, don’t you?
“What’s wrong Sara?”
“Bettsuni” [TN: sorry I couldn’t find a meaning for this べっつにー]
“Really?”
Well, that’s fine. That’s not the point right now.
“To the main subject right now, did you notice?”
“Yes. There are suspicious people around the mansion. The number is — maybe 14 in all.”
Yes, now this mansion is surrounded by people. No one is up this late at night like this, and even if there were, it wouldn’t be normal to watch over the mansion. I woke up at such a time because these guys got caught in by my detection skill. They are looking at the situation from the outside of the fence now, but it seems that it is about to start moving.
” Sara-nee told Alex and me. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t notice…”
“Kuhn…”
Alex put a large cushion in Rion’s room where he always slept. Perhaps it was awakened together by Sara.
“Efil and Melfina are sleeping. Both seemed quite tired.”
“I’m tired too,” Sara complained, Efil is like a rabbit and Melfina has a deep sleep. I mean, even if I try to wake her up, she doesn’t wake up easily. The person himself claims to be a serious god, but Melfina feels a little sloppy, though the people can’t see.
“What about Gerard?”
“He is guarding Ellie and Luca’s room.”
“Well, it’s fine if Gerard protects them.”
Well, I don’t feel like going there. For the time being, I’ll put three golems around the room.
“I can see it from here, that we won’t have to work that hard. Level 20 is the best… Well, only one person is at level 26. He is the farthest, is this the master?”
“Can you see it from here?”
“Oh, I borrowed ‘clairvoyance’ from Efil.”
I raise the Skill eater gauntlet in my left hand. If you have this distance and clairvoyance of Efil’s class, you can afford it. His face is hidden by a mask, it is even more suspicious.
“That’s right…… Rion, can you go with Alex?”
“Huh? Me?”
Rion looks surprised. Well, she is not doing a lot of actual battles. This time, it is unavoidable to be confused with human opponents instead of monsters. But that’s something that one must get used to in this world someday. Fortunately, skill points are applied after careful consideration. courage skills, combat skills, that bring unmoved mental strength. The place is on the premises of my mansion, which is also the home ground. Now is just the right time for shoulder-to-shoulder fight.
“Oh, there’s a silent whisper inside the fence of the mansion. The golems at the main gate will go down, so I want you to get rid of them from those who crossed the fence. No matter how loud the sound is on the site, it won’t leak to the city. We can help in case of emergency, so, what about? ”
Rion and Alex meet their eyes. It took a few seconds, but Rion smiled, perhaps because he understood Alex’s feelings.
“Yeah, I’ll give it a try!”
Rion nods powerfully. Alex also got into a fighting position, and his red eyes became sharper.
“Okay, that’s my sister! Clotho, I’ll ask you for a split body.”
Clotho puts out an extremely small body for “communication” and “storage” and jumps on Rion’s shoulder. The network is now connected to Rion. The collaboration with Alex will also improve. I will explain to Rion how Clotho works.
“Ohhh… is this okay?”
“No problem. I’ll upload the information I got from my detection skill and clairvoyance on the map, so please use it.
“Wow! This is really convenient! Thank you, Kell-nii!”
It’s the first battle of the hero of our family.
