Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

C-Rank Human Summon Elfriede (3)

In extremely exceptional cases… with the exception of Earth, a dimension is designated as a forbidden zone and the reason is announced at the same time.

Of course, everyone has different reasons.

Some dimensions are in order to protect the pets that are in an endangered state.

Another dimension is designated as a forbidden zone for fear of causing diplomatic problems.

In the case of the Demon Realm, the reason is very intuitive.

simply because it is dangerous.

That’s all.

There is no need to come up with any other reason.

The spirit sister who was listening to my explanation in the fast-moving carriage tilted her head slightly.

It’s only been a while since I’ve been summoned, so it seems like I lack basic common sense, so I ask questions pretty hard.

“Is there a powerful pet living there? Can’t we just tame it?”

“Wild pets are dangerous and powerful, but that’s not the fundamental problem.”

I began to explain carefully, examining the complexion on the other side.

Fortunately, Steno and the Duke of Beltern did not respond.

In fact, the interior space of the carriage is very wide, so there is some distance.

“When a summoner enters the Demon Realm, the link with the summons is broken. In severe cases, the summoner is subordinated to that dimension altogether.”

“ah…”

The taboo that Elfriede committed in the past, link manipulation.

In the demon world, this is done in units of dimensions.

Scholars are speculating that this happens because the magic of the Demon Realm is very unstable.

Anyway, no matter how great a Summoner is, if he goes to the Demon Realm, he will not be able to use his power properly.

It is also difficult to supply magical power to the summons, so how can they run wild?

After speaking, I inquired a little more about Elfriede’s condition.

I think it’s a bit presumptuous, but I’m sure you need my help anyway, so I’m inviting you here.

“By the way, the disappearance of Elfriede… Did she go directly to the Demon Realm?”

“Yes. That’s why I’m more concerned.”

Indeed, the Duke of Beltern gave a very cool answer.

Of course, it wasn’t a very pleasant voice because of the content.

Elfriede reached right under me during the final exam.

Besides, she is surrounded by loyal and capable summons.

It’s definitely worrying that she couldn’t escape on her own.

While they were sharing their voices full of depth, the wagon that was running nonstop came to a halt.

The duke descends in haste without waiting for the driver to open the door.

As I followed him down with a trembling heart, I saw a mansion out of nowhere.

I haven’t moved for a long time… Is there such a place in the capital?

It is much larger than El Cloud’s mansion in the middle of the golden land.

Apparently, it was the residence that the Duke of Beltern used whenever he visited the capital.

Given the size, the number of servants is no joke, but as if they had inherited it beforehand, there was no one to be seen.

“Wow, here…”

“It is the villa of the Welttern family.”

Persia sheds a strange admiration for the splendid interior.

Medusha next to me gave me a small supplementary explanation.

As I followed the Duke to the drawing room of the mansion, I saw some older summoners.

They were all dressed in fairly stiff outfits, and they were all wearing fancy insignias.

Kingdom army officers, summoners, high-ranking officials in major cities in the kingdom, etc.

It is truly a gorgeous composition.

It seems that he bowed his head deeply at the same time as the duke appeared, as a vassal of Beltern.

in the middle of them. An aristocratic woman with an anxious expression on a soft sofa.

He is biting his nails in a way that doesn’t suit his fancy outfit.

He is approximately mid to late 30’s.

I later found out that she was the Duchess of Beltern.

There are traces of Elfriede all over her face, and she looks more intelligent and calm than her daughter.

“It’s an honor to meet you…”

“Thank you so much for visiting, Count Elcloud.”

As if there was no need to take proper manners, she got up urgently.

As I opened my eyes to her reaction, the Duke of Beltern hastily proceeded with the story.

“Continue with the previous story. I need your help to recover the missing Elfriede.”

“I, me?”

“Yeah. Have you been linked with Elfriede a few months ago? We’ll use it to follow Elfriede’s trail.”

I had no choice but to express my doubts about the Duke’s explanation.

I think he’s talking about the time when he got Medusa…

I only had a brief connection with Elfriede at that time.

The incident was about 4 months ago, so you’re going to use it to track down Elfriede?

It would be better to seek the cooperation of Medusha, who is next to me.

Didn’t she act as Elfriede’s summons at all?

Of course, Medusha is my summons now, so it is right to ask for my permission first.

I asked briefly, feeling very confused.

“Is that possible?”

“Theoretically. We’ll link some of our summons that specialize in tracking and searching. With the help of Count Elcloud, it’s quite possible.”

The elderly scholar nodded slightly and said.

After all, the personnel in this position are the core personnel of the Duke of Beltern.

They are probably the best summoners of the current generation.

If people like this come together, we can create a method that never existed.

As the head of El Cloud, I nodded, feeling a strong sense of envy.

At most, the Duke of Welttern himself asked for it, and he couldn’t refuse it…

Even if I decline anyway, Medusha will agree.

Besides, you don’t have to worry too much about compensation.

There’s no way for a Duke of Beltern to wipe his mouth and move on, and he’ll give me something to keep my mouth shut.

I don’t want to weigh the profit or loss while the lives of others are at risk, but it’s a bit like doing unpaid service as Earl of El Cloud.

As if thinking well, Medusa gives a happy gaze from the side.

What Elfriede did to me is disgusting, but that doesn’t mean I want to leave it alone and kill it.

When I agreed to it, the summoners under the duke’s command began to prepare without delay.

By the way, if it was Duke of Beltern, he could have even mobilized the academy’s professors…

I don’t think it’s been done that way because it’s a matter.

Contacting the forbidden dimension is taboo among taboos.

Besides, it seems that Elfriede deliberately went that way.

‘Because there is no chance of going to the Demon Realm because of a simple summoning accident.’

If this were known, it would be fatal for even the Duke of Beltern.

Perhaps even if the operation succeeds, they will somehow try to shut my mouth.

Even though I thought so, I decided to cooperate.

After all, I have Medusa, so I won’t be able to use that rough method.

Summoners that I have never seen before, summon a rare yet powerful summons and start working in earnest.

A translucent hound-like guy came up to me and poked his nose.

The summoner you talked to earlier will tell you how.

“Please remind me of the feeling of being linked with Miss Elfriede. If possible, Medusa-sama too…”

“OK!”

“Ummm…”

I closed my eyes to recall the sensations from a few months ago.

However, it is not too difficult because it is a very intense experience.

As I recalled the feeling of snatching and forcing the messy, tainted Link, the ghost hound that had meticulously scanned Medusha’s Link reacted.

Subsequently, various summoning techniques are linked and the tracking operation begins.

“Okay, follow Miss Elfriede’s magical reaction.”

“Restore link. Start tracking… Please open the portal.”

“completion.”

As if rehearsing, the summoners match their hands and feet like flowing water.

Eventually, the portal opened, and an endlessly burning wasteland appeared in the drawing room.

It’s a little out of the way, but somehow it feels a little comfortable and familiar.

‘what?’

The hound, who rushed over it, barked hard in one direction.

After the summoner retrieves him, he closes the summoning door and opens it again.

“It’s closer than before.”

“If you stay too long, you will be tied up, so be careful.”

Really, this could be possible.

Probably because I inherited the link between Elfriede and Medusha.

The Summoners, who had been narrowing the distance by repeating the task over and over again, noticed that the landscape had changed dramatically.

The burning wasteland disappeared and an out-of-the-way underground space appeared.

Don’t you feel so good?

Everyone is thinking like that, but they are conscious of the duke, so they can’t speak clearly.

He continued his pursuit by scanning the ambiguous space whether it was a prison or a residence, and finally found the target.

She trembled in the shade, even more shabby than when she was at the academy.

“oh?”

“Elfriede! Come on, bring me here!”

The Duchess of Beltern, who saw her, opened her eyes wide and cried out.

But… if I could have just crossed over this way, I would have come back on my own sooner.

As if my thoughts had become seeds, Elfriede could hardly cross the portal.

The link that sprouted from Elfriede’s back binds her like a chain.

“Hey, you’re already bound. I’m completely subordinated to the dimension…”

“Shut up and bring me!”

“no!”

The Duchess is about to fall in love with the family’s summoners.

Fortunately, the Duke of Beltern and Steno stopped it in time.

The cursed dimension, the Demon Realm, manipulates the link in such a way to bind the summoners.

Also, a taboo is not a taboo for nothing.

Elfriede smiled sadly as she looked at the link that was tying her up.

Did my tears dry up because I cried so much?

He looks like he has already given up halfway.

“Mother, I’m sorry…”

“Elfriede!”

In the midst of repeated vain attempts. footsteps approaching.

Perhaps the wild summons of the demon realm are approaching.

Right now, Elfriede can’t even run away, let alone fight.

If you are caught like this, you will die without moving.

Summoners worried about Elfriede finally tried to put their own summons in.

However, if you are a sane person, you will not go to the Demon Realm.

The Summoner is trying something, but it will be late.

Seeing her cry silently, I impulsively went out.

“Suck!”

“Louis?”

It’s impossible to break into other people’s links, but I can.

Then it would be possible to break the restraints of the demon realm.

As I raised the magic of my heart, the link that sprouted from the back of Elfriede began to tremble.

The chain of magic that was connected to the ground trembled, and then it was slowly pulled out.

“Eh, Count Elcloud?”

“how…”

When I tested the link stealing against Ersa, I couldn’t take it so refreshingly…

It was because I didn’t feel like it at the time.

This time, it was different because I was determined and tried.

There’s no need to be sorry as we’re only bringing back things in our dimension in the first place.

‘Give it to me.’

With one more vigor and taking the link, Elfriede was finally freed.

Link that was easily uprooted, as if it belonged to me from the beginning.

As I pull the lines of magical power that flutter in the air, it connects to my heart.

“Elfriede, sign a contract!”

“Oh, I see. I am you! You are me! From now on, Elfriede Beltern belongs to Luis Elcloud!”

Elfriede, who turned her face stained with dust, hurriedly nodded in response to me.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Just like when you got Medusha, things got a lot easier when your partner agreed.

I opened the Summoner’s Book to make sure the link was fully connected.

“Come back!”

At my return order, Elfriede escapes the demon realm and is sucked into the bookshelf.

Eventually, the blank page recognized the new summons and started measuring.

[Human race, Elfriede.

Overall rating – C rank.

Acquired skills […]

Even so, as the only daughter of the Duke of Beltern, isn’t the C rank a bit too high?

but. The Summoner’s Book doesn’t even take that into account.

As I nodded, the summoners quickly closed the portal.

I recalled Elfriede before the Duke and Duchess were stunned.

“Come out!”

“Ugh…”

“Eh, Elfriede?”

Elfriede, who re-appeared in the drawing room, was in a much worse state than at first glance through the portal.

The clothes are almost like rags, and the exposed skin is full of small and large scars.

Still, who survived in the demon realm?

The Duchess, freed from the shackles of the summoners, hugged her tightly.

“Stupid bastard! I told you to be so careful… Why did you go to a place like the underworld!”

“Oh, no. I’ve definitely opened a portal to the spirit world.”

Elfriede protests as if it is unfair to her mother who sheds tears.

However, because she had a criminal record for breaking taboos, no one believed her.

In the first place, it doesn’t make sense to have passed over to the Demon Realm through a simple summoning accident.

However…

While watching the touching reunion, I had no choice but to come up with a strange hypothesis.

Ersa was presuming that my abilities were derived from the Demon Realm.

Perhaps, Elfriede was also influenced by the experience of being connected to me?

Of course, for now, this is just a hasty guess.

Elfriede immediately wept in the Duchess’s arms with half resentment and half relief.

I sat down on the sofa in the parlor, staring blankly at her and my link.

Now that he is contemplating on what to do, Persia next to him is talking nonsense without notice.

“Master. Has that guy become your master’s pet now? So am I the youngest escape now?”

“What?”

“No. Judging by the grade or the contract period, I’m at the top. Aren’t I… right?”

“No. Now that the work is over, we have to cancel the contract.”

Persia stuttered as if she had become anxious as she spoke.

I closed my eyes tightly and beckoned to Medusha.

Medusha received my signal and slapped the stupid fox in the head.
