Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

C Rank Human-Type Summon Elfriede (2)

The dwarf, who had been diligently teasing his short legs, headed to the personal safe without any hesitation.

Not only Medusha, but Ethel and Laurie follow the dwarf with a gait that seems to push me.

As you can see, expectations are high.

I entered the heavily guarded room, prepared for their disappointment.

The room itself is quite large… but the entire wall is filled with small lockers-shaped safes.

Each safe is so cramped that you wonder if you can fit a whole bag of gold coins.

Then yes.

While I was convinced inside, Medusha tilted her head.

“Are there any spells in them?”

“No. Take a good look.”

The dwarf grinned at Methusha, and put my key into one of the safes and turned.

Shortly thereafter, a rattling sound resounded, and one of the walls turned sideways.

A device that I would like to use at the theater I saw earlier.

As I am startled, the dwarf enters without delay.

“This is it.”

“Here…”

“Wow!”

After passing through the secret door of the safe, a much wider and more relaxed room appeared.

A golden glow under the bright lights.

No, actually, the lighting itself isn’t that bright, but it seems that the light is reflected in all directions and feels bright.

Needless to say, there were large and small gold bars forming a garden in the secret safe.

Coins from different countries are next to the pile of gold bars.

And next to it was a pile of small-volume jewelry.

Expensive artifacts and consumables are everywhere.

Thanks to that, the eyes of the summons as well as Sylvia tried to return.

I managed to dry the pets who were about to bathe in gold bars before turning my gaze to the dwarf.

I am prepared to laugh at the other person as it is, but I ask with hope.

“Maybe this is all…”

“No. It could be.”

A dwarf who shakes his head with a grin as if he was talking about something.

I knew it.

My share will only be a fraction of the property in this room.

It makes no sense to give this spacious room to just one person.

Medusha is blatantly disappointed, while Ethel and Laurier are arguing that it’s okay.

The dwarf began to utter even more nonsense.

“As you ordered 20 years ago, real assets are 20%, currency of each country is 20%, stocks are 30%, and bonds are distributed at 30%.”

“… what?”

“So, being in this room means not even half of the whole. Because we keep securities such as land documents, house documents, bonds, and stocks separately.”

The dwarf’s explanation emptied his ears.

It’s clearly vibrating the eardrum, but it doesn’t come into my head.

I don’t understand at all.

Now, Medusha was rather worried about me.

The guy who waved his hand over and over in front of my eyes lightly hits both cheeks.

“Come on, Louise. Why is he doing this? You’re worse off than when you heard that the scholarship was cut off?”

“No… Does this make sense?”

When I groaned with difficulty, the summoned beasts as well as the dwarfs showed a curious reaction.

I forcibly turned my stiff tongue and head to deny the dwarf’s words.

“Just what we have in this room now is more than our family’s wealth in their prime? But do you still have more left?”

“Um… you misunderstood, didn’t you?”

“I can’t.”

It was my precious pleasure to look through the worn-out accounting department in the corner of the study and imagine the heyday of the family.

How much did you spend on someone’s wedding?

100 years ago, 200 years ago, the total amount of tax on the estate came in.

Only such useless records made me realize that I am a descendant of a famous family.

To be honest, I thought it didn’t make sense even when I saw it…

The scene in front of us now is even more unrealistic.

No matter how much I run the calculator in my head, it doesn’t work.

Even if I sold all the additions from 20 years ago, this amount would not have come out.

So that what I was finally convinced of after doing my calculations over and over again was in vain.

A dwarf bank teller with an ax replied with a chuckle.

“Yeah, I’ve been running my bank for 20 years, and of course it’s grown.”

“yes?”

“The stock market next door to our bank, do you know who made it? Isn’t it your forefather, Adam Elcloud. It’s all thanks to him that makes it so easy for my people to make money.”

As if it was absurd, he filled with laughter and confidently continued his explanation.

“We just operated it instead of what El Cloud told us to do. The sports that they pointed out fit very well.”

“ah…”

Was it because of that, not only safe assets like gold and cash, but also stocks and bonds?

They have been investing with all of our family’s fortunes over the past 20 years.

To be sure, the family archives also had a fair amount of economics by Adam Smith Elcloud.

Of course, it’s not my taste, so I didn’t delve too deeply into it.

There are no assets to roll right away, so it wouldn’t have been fun.

Then the dwarf, who brought a list of securities and confirmed it, proudly says:

“If you add up everything in the borrowed-name account, this is roughly it? Congratulations on becoming the second richest family in the country after the Duke of Welttern. Losing to a transporter will hurt your pride as a financial worker, so let’s put it aside.”

“Uh… um…”

There is no longer any reason to deny reality.

If this document is true, the shopping street in front of the academy also belongs to our family.

So far, I have bought rice and snacks with my own money at my store in my building.

Medusha, who was constantly watching me, ran back and forth to the pile of precious metals with a little relief.

In the garden of perfectly crafted jewels, she finds a necklace and ring she likes and wears it.

The same goes for the Persia hanging around her neck.

The pearl necklace I bought you last time suddenly looks shabby.

The guy who noticed my gaze picked up a ring and put it on his tail.

“So, you’re saying it’s all Lewis’s after all?”

“Yes.”

“After all, we chose the summoner very well. It’s worth watching for the last 20 years.”

Ethel and Laurie, who had been confirmed by the dwarf, also participated in the feast of debauchery.

Sylvia sneaks closer while watching me, as if she can’t even play with the summoned beasts.

At that moment, I remembered the handmaiden’s request and hardened my body.

There must be a reason why we kept our breath alive, even though our family had such a wealth of wealth.

As she said, where the money goes, the attention goes.

The handmaiden deliberately avoided the attention of other families.

But… why did you have to do this?

Is it because of my identity?

I secretly asked the question several times during vacation, but each time the maid avoided her seat and avoided answering.

It is also clear that there are circumstances that cannot be disclosed to others.

Or, as Ersa said, was it the money she earned from the knowledge of the Earth?

I felt confused, but at the same time my heart was racing.

El Cloud did not fall.

I was just growing my strength outside everyone’s eyes.

It was no exaggeration to say that I could rebuild my family if I was all right.

The funds necessary for the revival were in place from the beginning.

But you can’t take the property of this room as it is.

There must have been a reason why the handmaiden held her breath until now…

I took an appropriate amount from the mountain of gold and gave the order to the excited minions.

“Take only one thing you like. You shouldn’t wear it in front of others instead. Okay?”

“What? What’s the use of these jewels if you can’t show them to others?”

“That’s right! She’s so pretty…”

Medusha reacts as if it’s natural, and Persia rides on her momentum.

The latter lowered my head as I frowned slightly.

For some reason, Ethel and Laurie also have Medusa.

“Are you afraid other people will steal or steal? Don’t worry. You have me and Laurie.”

“Whoever gets in the way, we…”

“The handmaiden must have been thinking about this, too. If you like it, just live here. I’ll just leave.”

Summoned beasts who convinced me to go out hard.

As they struggled to find the best jewel, Sylvia flinched beside her.

For some reason, my heart seemed to be moving.

I decided to give her one too.

It won’t make much difference whether you take 4 or 5 anyway.

“Sylvia. Why don’t you pick one too?”

“Yes? Me? No. It’s too expensive and a precious gift for me…”

“After all, it’s all El Cloud’s property.

Silvia pretended not to win at my persuasion and turned her gaze to the pile of jewels.

Thanks to her, I smiled a little, and she handed me the luggage.

“Then the master, please choose one.”

“What? Okay. Then…”

I carefully looked through the pile of jewels and chose the diamond ring.

Sylvia’s image color is of course black, but…

That feels so disrespectful.

I’ll be taking it off when I go on a mission anyway, so I think it’d be nice to have a little more sparkle.

Sylvia smiled broadly, as if satisfied with my choice, and held out the ring finger of her left hand.

When I carefully put it on, Ethel and Laurier, who were carrying their own, became solid.

“Ah… I wish.”

“I’m going to ask you to pick one too. Eight!”

Laurie throws the best of her picks back into a pile of jewels.

I closed my eyes and brought it back.

“I’m not sure I can find a better match, so just do this.”

“Then put it around my neck instead. That’s right.”

Ethel, who chose a necklace studded with a large ruby, nodded satisfactorily.

After spending a considerable amount of time as it is, when the work is finished, the dwarf smiles and guides us outside.

“You’re not carrying a lot of surprises? Well, it’s good because we’re in a position to pay commissions every time we make a profit.”

“Thank you for taking care of me. I wish you all the best in the future.”

“Okay, don’t worry. Let’s beat the Duke of Welttern in the next five years.”

After shaking hands with calluses in them, he left the personal safe.

The pets, who gathered their respective loot, moved much faster than usual.

I want to go back to the dormitory and take a look around.

Even Sylvia takes the lead as if urging me.

But we couldn’t go back to the dorm that night.

It’s been a while since I worked hard on the road to the school.

Suddenly, a carriage with a familiar pattern stopped in front of us.

I was startled and tried to spit out a curse, but when I found the snake pattern on the side of the carriage, I was bewildered.

“Duke of Beltern?”

“I’m sorry for coming without a message. Count Elcloud, can you please follow me for a while?”

Slender eyes that can be seen through a small open window.

It wasn’t a very cool show, but it was definitely the Duke of Beltern himself.

I was startled and my eyes were wide open, so Medusha quickly opened the door of the carriage and looked inside.

“S, Steno unnie! I’m pregnant, can I come out myself?”

“Hello, Medusa. Hello, Count Elcloud.”

Steno, who was sitting with his slightly swollen stomach wrapped around him, waved his hand lightly.

Noticing that I was paying attention to the eyes around me, I boarded the carriage.

It’s much wider than our family’s, so it’s easy to go in all at once.

When Sylvia, who came in last, closed the door, the driver promptly restarted the carriage.

The Duke of Beltern on the other side takes off his hat and places it on his lap.

“Thank you.”

“Duke. What’s going on?”

“Medusa…”

Now, even if it’s between husband and wife, it’s too reckless.

When I scolded him, the Duke of Beltern waved his hand and got to the point.

“Did Elfriede ever say anything to you during vacation?”

“If it’s Elfriede… I got a call during vacation, but I cut it off right away without any further details.”

As soon as I answered the truth, I was belatedly embarrassed.

Why did you have to ask me what you should ask your daughter?

Steno in the seat next to him looked uncomfortably embarrassed.

It was only then that I realized the situation.

‘Is this a situation where you can’t ask directly?’

Something big has happened to Elfriede’s life.

Otherwise, the Duke and Steno would not have had to visit the capital.

After reading my expression, he affirms it surprisingly coolly.

“You’re always quick to notice. There was an accident during vacation.”

“A Summoning Accident? What…”

“Elfriede was exploring another dimension to get a new pet… I think she accidentally opened a forbidden dimension.”

Steno explaining on behalf of the duke, who is having a hard time speaking.

I was completely frozen in a situation that was far more serious than I expected.

while everyone was at a loss for words. Medusha rushes to her older sister.

“Where is the Forbidden Dimension?”

“The Demon World. Elfriede is now missing.”

The duke’s eyes tightly closed at the words that sounded more like a death sentence than an explanation.

The underworld Medusha was also at a loss for words for quite a long time.

The carriage heading somewhere was enveloped in heavy silence.
