01x01 - Reincarnated Without Memories

[bunniefuu]

You ever heard of being

reincarnated in another world?

I don't know why, or how,

but I died due to a god's mistake,

and now I'm being sent to live

a new life in a new world.

Did you know the Goddess of

Reincarnation is really hot?

But I'm going to lose my memories of her.

Even now, I can't remember her face.

I put a lot of thought into what

skills I wanted to start with!

I gave up my life and all of my

memories of my old world as a price!

So I want you to have a lot

of fun in your new world.

It's all up to you now, Kelvin!

Where am I?

What is this?

Is this another world?

Pan-paka-pan!

Congratulations, My Lord!

You were chosen at complete random to

be reincarnated into another world!

You don't have any memories

of your old world,

but you agreed to this before you

reincarnated, so don't worry!

Reincarnated? Really?

Oh, crap! I really don't remember anything!

What were you thinking,

pre-reincarnation me?

This is a fantasy world full of clashing

blades and mages flinging magic!

Right now, you have the skills you

chose before you reincarnated.

Please look at this status

screen for the details.

I picked a dedicated support type, huh?

And I get big stat boosts when I level up.

Looks like I was a big gamer.

I mean, I'm really excited right now!

Sorry for being mean, pre-reincarnation me.

Summoner

A summoner, huh?

Start your adventure by

going to a nearby town!

Black Summoner

There's a guild there.

You might want to register as an adventurer.

All right, time to go.

Off to the first town, then!

Let's-lah-go!

We've been talking normally for a while now,

but, Miss Menu, are you coming, too?

That's right. You lost your memories.

Look at this.

Nobody's ever asked me, the Goddess of

Reincarnation, to become their servant before.

Take responsibility, okay?

What were you doing, pre-reincarnation me?!

And the reason we can talk is that summoners

can communicate with their servants.

Supposedly, it was a screw-up by

a god other than Melfina.

And that god went to Melfina,

the Goddess of Reincarnation,

to ask for her intervention.

And when I saw her,

I fell in love, she says.

Right now, I can only hear her voice.

As soon as you chose your skills,

you asked me to make a contract.

"I fell in love with you! Come with me!"

You spent a whole hour telling

me how much you loved me!

I've been at my job for a few centuries now,

and was getting a little tired of it

So I agreed.

Even gods need to rest.

I think of it as a paid vacation.

I left my employees in charge,

so things will be fine.

I haven't taken a break in decades

It's time to rest and recharge!

So my reincarnation is

like a vacation for you?

Then I want my memories back!

It was your decision to get rid of

your pre-reincarnation memories.

You said you needed more skill points,

and offered to exchange

your memories for them.

Why would I say that to a

girl I was in love with?

I can't be in love without my memories!

"Even without my memories,

I'll fall in love with you all over again!"

That was so sweet of you to say!

You sounded so sincere that I let you do it!

Congratulations!

Your relationship with me improved!

That's enough

I don't remember any of it,

but it feels like something I don't

want anyone else remembering either!

That caught me off guard, but I guess

Melfina was really my type, huh?

Now I think I want to see her.

If we've made a contract, can I summon you?

Not right now.

You don't have nearly enough

MP to summon me, My Lord.

I'm looking forward to seeing you grow, and

hearing how you'll tell me you love me next time.

I won't be doing that

We're almost at the guild, My Lord.

And there's the Adventurer's Guild!

It's an impressive building!

Now, let's take a look inside!

What brings you here today?

Please review these documents

and sign here and here.

I'd like to issue a request for a job.

Welcome back! This concludes your quest.

Here's your reward!

Next!

Hello!

What brings you here today?

I'd like to register as an adventurer.

Registration, right? Understood!

Just fill out this form.

Do you need someone to write for you?

I'm fine, thanks.

I got the skills "Understand Language"

and "Literacy" when I reincarnated.

Wait a moment.

Do you intend to write your

class down as "Summoner"?

What? Is that bad?

Holy Empire of Deramis

Militant Nation of Trycen

Beast Country

of Gaun

Town of Parth

Water Country of Toraj

Summoner is an ultra-rare job.

There's typically at most one per nation.

If they find out you're a summoner,

this nation's rulers will be

quick to take an interest in you.

I see. I don't want that.

I'll put my class down as Green Mage, then.

Kelvin, right?

Just a moment.

I was lucky enough to end

up in a fantasy world.

I want to enjoy my freedom as long as I can.

I'll keep the fact that

I'm a summoner a secret.

Here you are. Your guild membership.

You just registered,

so you're starting at Rank F.

Here at the guild,

we receive jobs from all over,

and we divide them into different

ranks for different adventurers.

So right now, I can only take F-rank jobs?

You can take jobs up to one rank

higher than your current one.

But if you fail, you'll have

to pay a contract penalty.

So be careful.

So I can't just go around taking

all the high ranking jobs, huh?

If you complete ten jobs in a row,

you'll go up an Adventurer Rank.

You don't get extra points for

taking jobs above your rank.

But once you reach rank C,

you'll start having to take exams.

So be ready for that!

Okay.

Got any good jobs for a new adventurer?

Hmm, how about these?

Defeat three blue slimes?

Harvest herbs?

Find cat? Special job?

My Lord, why not go after the blue slimes,

and make a contract with

one while you're at it?

It'd be the perfect monster

for your first summoning.

So we're thinking the same thing, huh?

I can't wait to try my summoning.

Of course, in a place with nobody around.

I'll take the blue slime quest!

This one, right?

Okay.

Black Summoner

Thank you!

A wooden rod, huh?

It has basically no physical attack, but it

does have a small amount of magic.

It'll help your magic!

That's most of my money spent.

Time to go and earn enough

money for tonight's inn!

Maybe it was because I followed

the path to get to Parth,

or maybe I was just lucky

But I didn't run into any monsters.

Blue slimes!

Use Appraising Eye on them, My Lord!

I see it

So this is Appraising Eye, huh?

Looks like I can read the

data about my target.

Your Appraising Eye is Rank S.

You can appraise creatures up to 100 levels

above you, and items up to Rank S.

That's most anything, right?

Wait.

If I couldn't read your stats, Melfina,

does that mean you're above level 100?

I am a goddess, you know.

Sheesh How much MP do

I need to summon you?

Wait, we're getting off topic.

I need to deal with these blue slimes!

First, I want to make my

summoner contract work.

How do I do that?

You need your target's consent.

And then it's up to you.

Consent, huh?

Do I talk to the slime to get it to consent?

For monsters that can't understand speech,

attack and weaken them, but don't k*ll them.

Then use the contract, and they'll consent.

"As if it wants to join the party!"

You know?

You seem to know a lot about games yourself.

Magic would probably just defeat it.

I'll fight with the Wooden Rod.

My Lord! Are you okay?

I was a bit careless

Seriously?

I thought slimes were the weakest monsters!

And easy to defeat!

"Hey, hey! What's wrong? Come on!"

I bet that's what it's saying!

It's strong!

I'll use magic.

No, if I defeat it, I can't get my contract!

Watch carefully!

It's not that fast!

It's really agile at dodging my attacks,

but if I can move faster than it can

I'm not done yet!

Well?

It's got 3 HP left!

Nice!

Time to try that contract.

Extend your hand.

It feels like something

is draining from my body.

Is this safe?

It's probably all the magic you used.

Contracts use half your remaining MP,

whether you succeed or not.

You should've told me that beforehand!

Whatever. Did it work?

Congratulations!

The contract was a success!

So it worked, then?

The monster you just made a

contract with has no name yet.

Why not give it one?

Okay!

From now on, you're Clotho!

Glad to have you on board!

What?

I can sense what it's feeling!

Is it happy?

You can communicate, even without words.

Servants can also communicate

with each other, too!

I guess I should call

it the servant network.

It'll be helpful in battle!

Now, time to try summoning.

If I used half my MP in that contract,

I still have 10 left.

Is that enough?

Yes, for a slime of this level.

Come, Clotho!

That's my first objective complete.

Now, time for that job!

You're making Clotho k*ll its own kind.

You're a monster, My Lord!

Slimes grow by eating weaker slimes,

so it's okay?

Clotho, it's okay if you don't want to.

Okay! Okay!

You're free to absorb any slimes you defeat.

But we're desynthesizing the slime

cores to prove we defeated them.

Time to try some green magic.

Clotho. I'll attack one with magic.

You take the other.

Show me how you fight.

With the buff it's getting from

my supplying it with magic,

it'll be stronger than

an ordinary blue slime.

Melfina taught me a few

basic green magic spells.

Between contracting with

Clotho and summoning it,

I only have enough MP for one shot.

But I have healing items, too.

I can take some slimes.

Wind!

Clotho!

Yes!

Clotho's a lot faster

than before the contract.

It has a face now, too

It's way too strong!

That's why countries really

want summoners, huh?

Even a level 1 slime is this strong.

Let me add that you're currently the

only Rank S summoner, My Lord.

The others are much weaker,

Rank B or Rank C at best,

and their stat boosts are only +10 or +20.

Seriously?

It's almost not fair that I

have this skill at level 1.

What?

What's that? You found another

one over there and took it out?

Way to go, Clotho!

That's our three blue slimes!

Good work, Clotho.

You, too. Good work with your

first contract and fight.

Black Summoner

We got our pay for the job,

so we have enough to afford

food and a room tonight.

If you'd given me more money at the start,

I could've bought better equipment.

My Lord, you wouldn't be able to enjoy

making your way in this world like that.

Actually, I figured out just how much money

you'd need to buy this

world's starting equipment.

Thanks.

Now, the inn that Ange from the guild

recommended is this way, right?

Looks like a slaver.

sl*ves, huh?

I've got summon slots open.

It would be a good way

to strengthen my party.

I just got something

special in the other day.

Look at this.

An elf.

They're really rare!

They never leave their villages!

She's a little thin, but all elves

are supposed to be beautiful.

She'd shine with a little polish.

Right?

Unfortunately, she's a mixed-blood half-elf.

But I was lucky to get her

at the price I did.

The Spirit's Song. This is it, right?

Ange's #1 recommendation for new,

cash-strapped adventurers!

Let's go!

Hello!

You a customer?

Welcome to the Spirit's Song.

I'd like a room for the night.

Sure thing.

If you like it, stay another night.

I'm Claire. Nice to meet you.

Kelvin.

I was told the meals are delicious here.

You arrived at the perfect time.

I'm just getting dinner ready!

I'll cook you up something delicious,

so for now, get some rest in your room!

I knew it was coming,

but there's no bath, huh?

There are no baths, except in the castles

of kings or mansions of nobles.

Commoners wash themselves in the river,

or wipe themselves down with hot towels.

It'll be tough for a Japanese

person to go without baths.

Someday I'll live in a house with a bath!

I haven't eaten since I came to this world.

I smell something good, don't you?

Okay, time for my first

meal in this new world!

My Lord, get to a level where you

can summon me as soon as you can!

I can't wait to eat human food myself!

Yeah, leave it to me!

Go on, eat up!

That looks so good!

And thus began my life in another world.

Melfina, a goddess whom I could only hear,

not see, and Clotho, the blue slime,

are my companions now.

What comrades and powerful foes await me?

You, the person I was

before I became Kelvin

You chose the job of Summoner for me.

I'll make the best use of it

in this world that I can!
