Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

C-Rank Human Summon Elfriede (4)

While the Duchess of Beltern left the parlor to wash and treat Elfriede.

The summoners inside the room were glaring at me and engaged in a heated discussion.

Is it possible to hijack the link as it was just before?

It seems like we’re sharing that kind of story academically.

Exposed to the learning enthusiasm of the elite summoners, I clicked inwardly.

Did you leave too early?

Anyway, I did the same thing when I got Medusa…

At the time, there was an excuse to be a forbidden artifact.

But this time, it was like a demonstration in front of the best summoners in Korea.

Some of them have already looked at them with awe or fear.

In fact, if you manipulate the link in this way, no matter how great a summoner is, there is no way to use it.

The Duke of Welttern, who read the strange air, hurried out before it was too late.

“Everyone worked hard. Thanks to you, I was able to get Elfried back. I will never forget your loyalty and support. But I want you to take what happened here today to the grave. All right?”

“of course.”

Fortunately, the summoners gathered here were faithful servants of the Duke.

Since they were recruited with lockdown in mind in the first place, rumors will not spread.

But for me, the Duke of Beltern himself was the most concerned.

It’s not very pleasant to have my hand caught up by the kingdom’s most wealthy and nobleman.

The Duke quickly adds that he will regret that I saved Elfriede.

“Earl of Elcloud. To be honest, I don’t know how to express my gratitude. But in the name of Beltern, I will prepare a reward worthy of it.”

“You’re welcome.”

I shook my head, making a sound that didn’t make sense to me.

To be honest, I don’t think the castle will be filled with any kind of compensation.

Can we expect the sincerity of the Duke of Beltern?

In a relaxed atmosphere, Medusha approached her sister and was stroking her stomach.

Elfriede and the Duchess have returned.

He had just healed all the wounds, washed away the dirt, and changed his clothes.

The Duchess raised her eyebrows slightly at Medusha and Steno, but said nothing because of the circumstances.

With her daughter standing next to her, she came out once again to thank her vassals.

The way Elfriede bows her head is so awkward that she tries to laugh.

I decided to be content with just saving a human and opened the Summoner’s Book.

“Then we cancel the contract now.”

“Oh, thank you.”

A duke swallowing his saliva, as if he was thinking nonsense.

I arranged for him to do it or not.

I don’t need anything like Elfriede, a C-rank human race.

Persia seems to be eagerly waiting for her successor summons, but if she carries Elfried with her, her outfit may turn over and die.

It makes no sense to have the only daughter of the Duke of Beltern as a summons in the first place.

Elfriede, who still looked anxious, crawled out in front of me, and the Duchess stood behind her like some kind of bodyguard.

I canceled my contract with her in the presence of everyone watching.

“The contract is cancelled! From now on, I will completely liberate the human race, Elfriede.”

When we canceled the contract with a simple chant, the link that connected us was broken.

But, isn’t it that the lines of magic that flew in the air suddenly concentrated on one point?

As if someone had snatched it, the portal opened at the end of the taut link.

The sight seen through the cracks in space is a burning wasteland.

The demon realm, which had been closed before, has reopened.

The duke’s vassals tried to close it in awe, but it was hardly closed.

“What, what!”

“Close it up! We can’t lose Elfriede again!”

“Impossible to close. Your Excellency, Earl of El Cloud! Renew the contract before it’s too late…”

Does the influence of the demon world still exist?

I reached out once more to Elfriede, howling in terror.

She grabbed my hand and nodded her head.

“contract!”

“I am you, you are…”

The portal closes only when the link is repaired through the renewal of the contract.

Thanks to this, the drawing room became an atmosphere as if a storm had raged.

Only then can the contract be canceled.

The vassals, who had been arguing hard among themselves, said nothing of much help.

“I wonder if the influence of the Demon Realm is still there…”

“It would be good to keep the contract for the time being.”

“That, that…”

While the Duke of Beltern expressed his displeasure.

The Duchess seemed to be doing well, and her eyes twinkled with a faint smile on her face.

Her two eyes were looking straight at me.

“Hey… I can’t help it. Count Elcloud, can you take over Elfriede for a while?”

“I, me? No. It’s kinda…”

When I expressed my displeasure, Sylvia, who had been silent until now, stepped out.

Notwithstanding, this is a matter that could affect the entire Elcloud family.

“The owner is the current Count of El Cloud! But he asked me to take care of the only daughter of the Duke of Beltern…”

“I know it’s a rather rude request. I also know that the Count may get a scandal he doesn’t want. But as Elfriede’s mother, I have no choice but to force it.”

“Then someone else will sign a contract for you and keep the link…”

“Please be kind. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the safest thing for Count El Cloud to take over.”

That’s it.

It is not wise to have someone else sign a contract for you.

What if, while Elfriede is away from me, another strange event occurs and she returns to the Demon Realm?

If I’m by your side, I can stop it.

The Duchess bowed her head, which looked stiff, and, on the other hand, looked at her husband.

The wife herself has even done this, but there is a reprimand of what you are doing.

The Duke of Beltern, who had been contemplating for a moment, nodded his head with difficulty.

“I’ll ask you too. Can you please take care of Elfriede until the problem is resolved?”

“Be, how can I become the next head of the Duke of Beltern…”

As I was sweating profusely because there was no atmosphere in which I could refuse, Steno showed a strange smile.

Sylvia, with her eyes closed, negotiated on my behalf.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it will be sent as it is, so I decided to listen to the conditions.

“How long exactly is the contract maintenance period…”

“Kinbell. How long do you think it will take until the link with the Demon Realm is completely cut off?”

When the Duke of Beltern asked a summoner under his command, he gave an answer with difficulty.

“In my opinion, at least a year or so…”

sting!

When the Duke of Welttern, who was listening to the story, glanced at him, he hastily changed his words.

It was a masterpiece with a very blatant intent.

“No, at least 4 years! So, it is better to keep the contract until you graduate from the academy.”

“Yeah. That should be enough.”

Satisfied with the amendment, the Duke nodded and agreed.

From the looks of it, it looks like they want to somehow bond me and Elfriede.

I clicked my tongue a little, wondering how far I should fit into this obvious play.

“For four years, Elfriede…”

“Even if you’re a Beltern, you don’t need to be treated special! I’ll just be happy if you treat me like one of your summons.”

An unconventional proposal that is the pride of a peasant and has nothing to do with it.

Thanks to this, only Elfriede, who was caught between her parents, became pitiful.

Of course, they are just trying to save their daughter-in-law somehow.

Sylvia, who is strangely angry, begins to question the Duke directly.

“Lady Elfriede is a student at the Royal Magnus Summoning Academy. The master is staying in the men’s dormitory, so you can’t use the same student as a summoner…”

Shame on the subject of living in my own room at all.

As I swallowed such a pint glass, the Duke responded immediately.

“You can use this villa. I will give it to the El Cloud family.”

“Yes? It’s a rule that students stay in the dormitory…”

“Then let’s change the rules.”

Sylvia struggled, but this time her opponent was bad.

The Duke of Beltern is one of the most powerful in the kingdom.

If you donate some money to the academy, it wouldn’t be anything like modifying the school rules.

Anyway, I wanted to say something because I thought it was a bit too reckless, but he suggested an unexpected reward.

“As long as you take care of Elfriede, you are free to use this mansion as well as the facilities and properties of Beltern. And… I want to return the Count of Elcloud to you as a reward for this performance.”

“Eh, Count Elcloud?”

Unable to contain their surprise at the unexpected proposal, Ethel and Laurier tilted their heads.

They were dukes and I didn’t care, they asked me.

“Where are you?”

“Where we boarded the train during the day.”

“Oh, was that city your family’s estate?”

“It used to be like that.”

Originally, the entire city belonged to our family, but after Gassae faded, it was confiscated by the royal family because it was judged that there was no capacity to manage it.

Still, if the Duke of Beltern wants to, he will be able to give it back to him.

The first thing I wanted to do after graduating from the academy was to recover the Countess, and it was possible to achieve it so easily.

The duke, who was watching my reaction, smiled a little and recommended it again.

“It’s just getting back the place that was originally El Cloud’s estate. Think of it as my little castle.”

“ah…”

Is this a bit intriguing?

Come to think of it, Elfriede is not the only daughter of Welttern for eternity.

A few months later, when Steno’s child is born, she may no longer be the heir.

In other words. By the time you graduate from the academy, you can become the hostess of El Cloud.

It’s good that the Duke of Beltern formed a marriage alliance with El Cloud, and it’s good that I also got a strong wife.

It’s good that Elfriede’s life is saved, and that the Duchess can marry Elfriede into a good family.

Medusha and Steno are just good.

Isn’t this how everyone can be happy?

That happiness circuit ran like crazy in my head.

Sylvia, noticing this absurd idea, stepped on my foot and brought it back to reality.

In any case, being able to legally reclaim the Count of Elcloud is certainly attractive.

It’s not that the Duke is threatening to marry Elfriede right now.

Isn’t it enough to just keep the link as a summoner and summoner for 4 years?

Of course, later on, I could use the pretext of living together for four years, but that’s enough if I ignore it.

My heart was slowly leaning towards acceptance.

Medusha muttered a little, as if she didn’t like Elfriede’s intervention.

“Elfriede is a talented person who will roll up the duke if she becomes a duke. If she becomes a countess, she will roll up the count.”

“Medusha.”

Steno did not deny it, even though he squeezed the honey chestnut as if rebuking him.

Thanks to you, the Duchess bit her molars tightly, but…

I have nothing to say in this room right now.

After pondering over and over again, I finally decided to accept the duke’s request.

If you can restore the Count of El Cloud, it is a business that remains even if your lifespan is reduced by about 4 years.

Perhaps even Elfriede wouldn’t be able to treat me as rudely as before.

“Then to keep the contract with Elfriede for a while…”

“Thank you very much. I’ll request the return of the Count of Elcloud right now.”

A duke holding my hand with both hands and waving it vigorously.

Laurie, who was behind him, swears at his words.

“Return request? Wasn’t that guy the current owner?”

“Uncle… The Count of El Cloud was confiscated by the Dracor family, so you have to apply there.”

“Don’t worry. My request isn’t much different from an order.”

It may sound like an insult to the royal family, but no one in this room cared about it.

In fact, if you’re at the level of Beltern, you can’t treat it like a royal family.

When I looked back at Elfriede again, the Duchess was begging her to say something.

after a while.

The Duke of Beltern and his party disappeared as quickly and secretly as when they came here.

I came to the capital for a secret purpose in the first place, so I can’t just sit around and take it easy.

As I was looking around the mansion with a little puzzled mind, employees I had never seen before appeared one by one.

They greet me politely as if I was the owner of this place from the beginning.

Can I use it here?

It’s definitely a big, colorful, and affluent place, but it feels like you’re sitting on a cushion of thorns.

However, the summons liked it so much that I decided to stay here tonight.

Since I returned to the capital city with some spare time anyway, the second semester doesn’t start tomorrow.

As I looked at the bedroom full of beds for the pets to use, Sylvia naturally moved her luggage next to mine.

When I try to say something, I hit the player from her side.

“Even if we have formed an alliance, we cannot be vigilant. We will provide close security in this mansion.”

“I’m with Laurie, so I’m worried a lot.”

“Well, isn’t the room too big anyway?”

As Medusa said, this one bedroom is more spacious than a dormitory with a living room and bathroom.

It was probably the room used by the Duke of Beltern and Steno.

Persia, who had fallen in love with the excellent living environment, was grinning as she heard a clever knocking sound from outside the room.

I thought it was an employee, so I opened it and found Elfriede.

Changed into a more comfortable outfit than before, she squeaks in.

Of course, since we decided to use the bedroom separately, I think he came here to say hello to me in the future.

“I… Louise. Thank you so much for saving me.”

Apparently, the Duchess had asked you to say thank you properly.

I nodded my head roughly, and Persia went out on her own.

“Ahem, ahem! Our youngest is here. Come on, say hello to the seniors!”

“Hey man…”

“Oh, that’s… Elfriede. Please take care of everyone.”

Elfriede bowed her head deeply at Persia’s joke and bowed politely.

I wasn’t that kind of guy…

It seems that my self-esteem was completely shattered because of this incident.

To be honest, it looks a bit risky.

Summoned beasts have completely hardened in response to unexpected reactions.

I clicked my tongue a little and let her out coldly.

The spacious bedroom was filled with worries about the future.
