01x03 - A Secret Shared with the Guild and a sl*ve Girl

[bunniefuu]

We set out to battle the

famous Blackghost Knight,

and after a fierce fight, defeated

Blackghost Knight Gerard.

As a summoner, I can make a contract

with someone and make them my servant,

as long as they agree.

My new King, I pledge my fealty to you.

Gerard, I can feel your sorrow at the

loss of your family and country.

After that, I came to the guild

to report on my victory,

and met an older gentleman.

It's certainly a beautiful day today.

For you, it's the perfect day for

an adventure, don't you think?

Yes. I'd love to head out on one right away.

It's good to be enthusiastic

about your work.

But you do need to rest sometimes.

You're the one who said it was the

perfect day for an adventure,

Guildmaster.

I can see why they're all

talking about you, Kelvin.

Yes, I am Leo, the head of the

Parth Adventurer's Guild.

I have a rather silly question

for you, by the way.

Are you perhaps

Crap!

from another world?

His Appraising Eye (Rank A) beats

out my Concealment (Rank B)!

Which means he can see who I am!

Black Summoner

Black Summoner

Ange told me about what

happened with Cashel.

And then you defeated the

Blackghost Knight alone

Or perhaps I should say, with your servants?

You're a summoner, aren't you?

I should've been more careful

I didn't expect this.

I didn't expect anybody with

Appraising Eye (Rank A) to be so close!

My King, straighten up!

Gerard?

You can't keep your status hidden forever.

What's important is to make more friends

who you can share the secret with!

We'll support you as much as we can!

That's right. You're right.

You're right.

I guess I can't hide from

your Appraising Eye (Rank A).

With that eye of yours,

you probably knew Cashel and his

buddies were criminals, didn't you?

Why didn't you stop them?

I have to apologize there.

Cashel's a noble from the

Militant Nation of Trycen.

And it's hard to do much

about a foreign noble.

I needed proof.

He was a noble?

I had been making the necessary

preparations, though.

And I was finally at the point

where I could take action.

But I caught him first?

To be honest, I'm glad not to

have to do the extra work.

He'll pay for what he's done.

Glad to hear it.

So, let's get to the point.

I'm not here to be your enemy.

If anything, I'd like us to be friends.

I met others from another world, once.

There are other people like me?

The heroes of the Holy Empire of Deramis.

Oh

Melfina?

That's right. I reincarnated them

Huh? You did what?

If you're curious, I'll tell you later.

The Priestess of Deramis heard the prophecy

of God, and summoned the heroes.

And what she said was

The revival of the Demon King is upon us.

The Demon King?!

Perhaps that's why monsters all across

the continent have grown so violent.

The reason the Blackghost Knight

you fought was so strong

was likely due to the Demon King's revival.

Even the heroes can't protect

an entire continent.

If the Demon King truly is returning,

I'd like them to focus on his defeat.

So you want me to protect you from

the monsters, instead of the heroes?

This city doesn't have enough people

who can handle Rank B and higher jobs.

We'll pay for the jobs,

and provide additional support, as well.

I'll use my authority to

increase your Adventurer Rank,

and allow you to decide which jobs you take.

That sounds a little too much in my favor.

You were hiding the fact that you were

from another world, and a summoner.

Why was that?

It's because you didn't want to get involved

in some ridiculous power struggle

between nobles, correct?

If you're willing to help us,

I can promise you freedom, most of all.

He's seeing right through you.

No matter how gifted someone is,

they couldn't learn

summoning at your level.

Your skills are already equal to

those of a Rank S adventurer.

So I'm going to have you climb to the top,

before you're forced to

join someone else's cause.

I'll help you.

Your conditions are agreeable.

Black Summoner

I heard you got promoted to Rank B, Kel!

Claire!

You found out fast

All the younger adventurers

are talking about you.

Personally, I don't want to stand out.

Don't be silly!

I've never heard of anyone being

promoted to Rank B so quickly!

Okay, tonight I'll make an extra side dish

in celebration of your promotion!

Yes!

Your meals are so good.

But first, could you make me

some lunch, please?

My King!

Don't tell me that lady is also

No!

She is definitely not a

candidate for my harem!

She runs the inn I've been

staying at the past week.

Sob! Sob!

You've already got me!

Don't join in, Melfina.

You're just making it worse.

Hey, Melfina.

Yes, what is it, My Lord?

Tell me about the heroes you reincarnated.

It was a little while ago.

The priestess of the Holy Empire of Deramis

performed the summoning ritual,

so I found some smart-looking,

pretty boys and girls to reincarnate.

They're probably a pretty decent level now.

You're treating that like it's

not a big deal, but it is.

The Priestess of Deramis heard the prophecy

of God, and summoned the heroes.

And what she said was

The revival of the Demon King is upon us.

Heroes and the Demon King, huh?

You gave them the stereotypical

"the Demon King's back,

so here, have these heroes," thing?

It has very little to do with you,

so don't worry.

I've gotten very sick of Demon Kings,

so I'd rather you didn't get involved.

Right, right.

That battle was such a close thing

Heroes and Demon Kings, huh?

Clotho!

Can you give me back the

reward money I gave you?

Good job!

This inventory skill you

Gluttonia have is great.

Where does it fit inside your body?

Well, this is probably enough.

Going shopping, My King?

Yup.

Claire, could you set out another

plate for tonight's dinner?

Sure.

Thanks!

You look quite entertained, My King.

What are you going to buy?

A sl*ve.

I'm going to buy a female sl*ve!

What?!

Black Summoner

Black Summoner

You're at that age, aren't you?

It's every man's dream, after all.

No, it's not like that, I said.

Last time I passed by the slavers,

I thought about getting a

sl*ve to enhance my party.

Melfina and I talked about it.

You're going to train her and

add her to your party, right?

Yeah. There's one I saw last

time that caught my eye.

You've already got me!

Stop that, okay?

My fight with Gerard was a

close thing, to be honest.

And I'm going to be fighting

a lot more enemies like him.

I want all the combat power I can get.

Makes sense.

sl*ves can't use skill points

without their master's permission,

so I'm looking for a sl*ve who hasn't

been touched by another master,

and hasn't used their points.

And one who can provide support

attacks from the rear!

Sir! Sir!

Are you okay?

Screw you!

I'm not buying that!

That sl*ve's cursed!

That girl's the one I saw before.

She's the half-elf I got in the other day.

But she has a powerful curse that

burns anyone who touches her!

Fire Dragon King's Curse

She hasn't touched her skill

points, just like I hoped.

Melfina.

Yes?

What kind of skills do I

need to break that curse?

That looks like a Fire Dragon King's Curse.

A Sacred Bless spell from a

White Magic (Rank A) user would do it.

Damn it!

I thought I could sell you for a high price,

but you're worthless!

Nobody's gonna buy a cursed sl*ve!

You're the guy from before.

You want something?

Hey, could you sell her to me?

You just saw what happened, right?

Sure, she's a half-elf,

and yeah, they're rare,

and yeah, she's never had a master,

but she's cursed! She sets

you on fire if you touch her

Is that enough?

Who are you?

Get out of there.

From now on, he's your master.

U-Um

Uh

Thank you for purchasing me.

My name is Efil.

I'm Kelvin.

An adventurer.

I'd like you to join my

party and fight with me.

But my curse

Efil, how long have you been a sl*ve?

For as long as I can remember

I heard I was sold as soon as I was born.

I don't even know what my parents look like,

or why I'm cursed.

I see. That must've been hard.

No, I don't

I don't want to hurt anyone anymore!

Efil.

Believe in me.

How?

Efil, I don't know what you've been through.

But from now on, you won't

suffer like that anymore.

But I My hands

You're okay now.

You won't hurt anyone

else with cursed flames.

The curse is broken.

My Master Kelvin!

Looks like it worked, My Lord.

That's right.

White Magic (Rank A)'s Sacred Bless.

I just used my leftover

skill points to get it.

Until you can summon me,

I'll let her have you, I guess.

You've got a good heart, Goddess.

I'm back.

Oh, welcome back, Kel.

Good timing.

The food's already on the table.

Oh, that's your guest?

Claire, do you think you

could find her some clothes?

After dinner is fine.

I'm so hungry.

Efil, her food's really good!

No, before.

I can't let a cute girl like this

eat dressed like that!

We need to get her all

clean before she eats!

Efil, it's okay.

I don't know what's going on,

but leave her to me, Kel!

Thanks

We're back, Kel.

Now, Efil, show your master

how pretty you are.

Um, Master

What do you think?

Sorry Um

You're beautiful.

Um, I

I'll do my best for you from now on, Master!

I look forward to serving you!

Yeah, glad to have you.

Sorry, sorry.

I kept you waiting, didn't I?

I'll get dinner ready.

Thanks.

Um, can I help?

Of course.

A maid outfit?

Nice work, Claire!

After that, Efil and I ate a

delicious meal made by Claire.

It was so good that Efil cried!

I told her about Melfina, Clotho,

and Gerard, and that I was a summoner.

I told her I wanted to keep

all these things a secret.

And then I had her take

the same skills I had,

Double Growth Rate and Double Skill Points.

I let her choose how to

use the other points.

I talked to Melfina about it,

Name: Efil

and we decided it was best for her to start

picking skills now, so she could learn

to make decisions herself.

All of that went fine,

but then we had a problem.

I asked Claire for a room with another bed,

but she said there weren't any.

She's so cute But
