Volume 1 - CH 1.03

Takuma thought back on Cross Reverie’s setting in regards to summoned beasts.

Summoned beasts are setup to be apart from the hostile monsters like the Demonic Beings and apparitions. They are creatures that are called out by Summoners and get enslaved by them.

They can’t say any words but, their intelligence is high, and are able to fire off powerful attacks. There are also some that have special effects such as healing.

However, because making them submit is difficult, a 《Slavery Choker》 is put on them through a《Slavery Ceremony》.

The summoned beast that has this choker attached to them with this ceremony becomes obedient to the one that summoned them.

——I’m, going to be made to be absolutely obedient!?

Remembering the setting, Takuma turned pale.

If this world really was the same as Cross Reverie’s settings in anything and everything, he himself, who was called upon as a summoned beast, would, from here on out, have to be obedient to either one of the girls.

Either the blonde, slender and long limbed, beautiful, and big breasted Elf——

Or the short, delicate, expressionless, cat-eared maiden——

He felt like it might be alright even if he was made to be obedient.

——No, no, of course that’s not good!

Having lost to temptation for a moment, Takuma shook his head left and right.

The two maidens turned their gazes towards him.

Because they seemed to only have a bit of time to compromise——The cat-eared one went to talk to him.

「……Can you understand our words?」

「Ah, yeah.」

He made a light reply.

The Elf maiden and the cat-eared maiden opened their eyes, surprised.

「It spoke!?」

「……I’m surprised. Far from understanding words, for it to be able to let them out is…」

「As expected of me! Even though it’s my first summoning, it looks like I called out something amazing!」

Cat-ears glared at the Elf.

「…I’ve said this several times already but, the one that summoned Diablo was me, and not you.」

「But I’ve said that countless times as well! Also, Diablo responded to my call, you know!?」

——Huh? In talking with g-girls, what am I supposed to do again?

Takuma searched his memories.

Talking to a real girl, when was the last time he did that?

More than a year ago!? No, because the employee of the convenience store that he went to just a little while ago was a female, it was at that time……Did he have a conversation with her!?

The real world is hopeless.

Even in the game, because he only did the Demon King play solo, he didn’t even do a chat with a Nekama[1].

——No! There is one! I’ve had a conversation with one!

Very, very recently, he had experience in talking to a girl!

Takuma faced Rem and Shera who were still quarrelling and, based on his little experience, called out to them.

「It would be best if you stop your foolish strife. Right now, you are in the presence of 《Diablo》, you know.」

The two suddenly stopped their movements.

And then, they looked his way.

——Alright, this is it!

A black light coiled about the two’s heads.

*Vwoon*……A low tone remained in the ears.

The one to be enslaved wasn’t Takuma, but was the Summon Master maidens that had their magic returned to them.
