Volume 1 - CH 1.04

「……《Magic Reflection》 is a tremendous ability but……I won’t accept it. This kind of thing.」

「Same here! I don’t want to be enslaved to a summoned beast!」

Rem and Shera shouted.

Takuma thought.

——I have a feeling that leaving these two dissatisfied like this is going to be bad.

Right now, Takuma had succeeded in enslaving the two.

However, Cross Reverie’s 《Slavery Ceremony》 was, in the first place, vocabulary that appeared in the setting explanation, and was not the kind of magic that players could use as they like with the proper timing.

The powerful existences in the world that were summoned beasts were, from their standpoint, creatures whose motive was to do as they were told by a small race of people, and did so, that was what their settings were made to be.

Summoned beasts were 『creatures that wouldn’t disobey in a game-like way』.

That’s why, things regarding the 《Slavery Ceremony》’s effect range and limitations have become obscure details. At the very least, suddenly waving a standard of revolt——that kind of method didn’t exist.

The place that he was in, appeared to be a reality that was very similar to Cross Reverie. It was probably a different world kind of thing. As long as this wasn’t a dream……

In this other world, just what kind of effect did the thing called the 《Slavery Ceremony》 have?

——By some possibility, could there be a way to cancel the summoning?

If there is, that would be bad.

——Is the current me, strong?

Certainly, 《Magic Reflection》 had activated but, the only thing that was taken from the game world was the equipment……there was that kind of possibility.

The in-game Takuma had reached the maximum level of 150, mastered various elements of magic, walked around to do research, and was altogether the strongest 『Demon King』.

However, without the menu window and shortcut icons and being in a condition where he couldn’t operate with a mouse and keyboard, there was a possibility where he can’t use magic in the first place.

No, even if he could use magic……

——If the average level of this world isn’t anywhere close 150, it would be bad.

In other words, what he needed to ascertain was his relative strength. Compared to another person or a monster, just how strong was he?

There was a need to see the people of this world’s——in other words, these two’s reactions.

「Oi, you guys.」

The Elf maiden pouted her lips.

「Argh! Stop it with calling us with that “you guys”! It’s because I have the name of the Genius Summoner Shera L. Greenwood, after all!」

——Nn? Greenwood?

It was a surname that he felt that he had seen somewhere in the setting documents collection. It was on the tip of his tongue.

But, it didn’t come.

「Hmph……At present, “you guys” is enough. Don’t anger me with too much pointless talk.」
