Summoning ceremony.
The season was spring, and tonight was the full moon. On this day, which was April 1st, in this world, the Heroine was summoned.
This was the day, once every few hundred years, when the walls of the world become infinitely thinner and the world was filled with magic power.
The King of Wolfanea wished for this day. And the one who answered that wish with the cry of his sorrowful soul was the "Heroine”.
“Heroine,” was a heretical irregularity in every sense of the word. A "Heroine" who was summoned without God's permission, was a "Hero" without blessings.
These were the circumstances for the game's "Heroine," Amou Yue.
And perhaps the wish of that kind King was... very sad. Even the Heroine's own name*** was somewhat reminiscent of that wish.
***Celestial/Heavenly Cause
Koto Neechan's legacy, the "Hero Summoning Circle” lied in the basement of the Royal palace of Wolfanea. Although it was damaged and unusable, this was the magic circle that brought Koto Neechan to this world. The original was in Christia, which was completely destroyed. The one in Wolfanea was a spare in case of emergency, according to her journal.
Koto Neechan herself wanted to destroy this one as well, but she finally left it behind as a trump card in case of emergency.
And it was further modified and perfected by the magic geeks.
All of the capture targets stood within the circle.
Milfi and Cidar-kun, and several Beneficiaries with particularly high magic power from the Beneficiary union, as well as Yukihime were assisting.
Dirk, Geraldin-san, Shushu-san, and Kanata-san were essential personnel in case of unforeseen accidents.
And then, there was me, the general manager, and my assistant, the former Director of the Magic Institute. By the way, Jess was working.
“Now, I will begin the Hero Summoning. Judas-sama, please stand in the center of the circle.”
“Alright.”
The magic power was about to turn black with Judas-sama at the center, but it subsided with my coercion.
Finally, that Otome game will start. It had been a long time. For me, too, this one move was a trump card... This summoning, on the best day, with the best members, and in perfect condition, could not possibly go wrong!
“Curtis.”
At my signal, Curtis nodded and released his magic power.
“Free wind that surrounds everything… and moves everything.”
Curtis's part of the circle became brightly colored with magic power. And then the magic circle was activated. The entire formation began to rotate. The magic filled the area to the left of Curtis. At my signal, Aldin-sama, who was standing to the left of Curtis, nodded his head and released magic power into his own part.
“O light that illuminates and nurtures all!”
Aldin-sama, he’s physically dazzling today as well. His magic power was also dazzling. Sparkly and dazzling. The dazzling magic power filled the left side of the room again. Adeil seemed somewhat nervous.
“The beginning of all things, O earth."
Adeil’s magic filled the air and also reached his left neighbor. Ernst seemed thrilled. Must be the magic geek in his blood…
“O Darkness that puts all to rest.”
Ernst filled the magic power without danger, as expected. The magic power soon reached his left neighbor. Hugh, who was the opposite of Adeil, was just normal as he normally is. He even had time to give me a wink.
“Fire, the source of all power.”
Hugh seemed to be able to utilize his magic power skillfully, and soon filled the left side of the circle with magic power. He smiled gently, as if to say, "All went well.”
“Greenery, the blessing of all life.”
Elder Brother's magic power filled the area immediately to the left of him. Alphage-sama nodded, showing that there were no problems.
“The all healing, gentle waters.”
When Master Alphage filled the circle with magic power, Jend, who was next, was looking nervous. I cheered him on to do his best, and he smiled softly. Jash, on the other hand, seemed calm and smiled softly.
“”Watch over us all, Mother Moon.””
Jend and Jash have a special attribute called “Moon”, totally not basic attribute. This is our secret weapon, which makes it easier to capture the magic power of the full moon.
The formation was fully activated. Judas-sama was kneeling at the center of the formation in a posture of prying.
The capture targets have different magic powers and control capabilities, so the assistants are desperately trying to follow up to even things out.
I understand. It's nostalgic, the Japanese air. And I'm sorry. I apologize to someone I don't know. I'm sacrificing you for my... our wish.
And then, she swooped down towards Judas-sama. Not a beautiful black-haired maiden…… but a normal girl with shaggy braids and glasses. Judas-sama caught her properly.
“Success?”
The capture targets looked at the mediocre girl, who appeared in puzzlement.
“Well, good work, everyone! We have now witnessed the historic summoning… oh my? A devil child? Who do your eyes look so white?”
And then the plain girl opened her eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“Yesh… I didn't think I'd be rewarded with the King appearing in my dreams… No, wait! Something hurts! This is not a dream! The otherworldly transfer I dreamed of, hyahhhh!! I did it!”
“You stupid giiiiirl!!”
I jumped up and kicked the foolish girl in the head with a knee strike.
“Gyameraa!”
And with a mysterious cry, the plain girl fainted.
“Poppo-chan… change! Tell Shiva that we want to exchange her for someone else! I think we made a mistake somewhere!!”
“... Ah~ sorry. She was the only one qualified. I'm sure she'll do her part. She's the one who has completed all the games in the series, and she's the one who has been playing them to the point where I’m dreading the ways she may come up with to save the King.”
“Noooooooo!!”
I cried out, and in the end, whether it was a success or a failure… everyone looked at me with subtle expressions on their faces.
Seriously, why did it turn out like this!?
What do you think about this chapter?
