Chapter 42: 42

Chapter 42: End of the investigation《Keith side》

I flinched thinking, ‘That’s a surprisingly harsh decision,’ I didn’t know how to react to Miss Charlotte’s strong insistence.

Aside from me smiling bitterly elsewhere, the holy beast, one step ahead of the other summons, rubs his cheek against Miss Charlotte.

“After all, I think a contract with me is the best way to go. I’m fluffy as you can see, and I don’t burn when you touch me.”

The Holy Beast, urging her to sign the contract, made a purring, sweet voice as if to show off his cuteness.

Miss Charlotte almost nodded her head ‘yes’ to the fierce attack of the holy beast that has the best fur and charm.

In front of her, the other summons nodded to each other as the terrible conflict unfolded and bet on operation fluffy──── which already had two victims.

“If it’s fur, I’m confident too!”

“Me too, me too! Just take one look!”

“It’s still too early to decide, Great mage! My fur is first class!”

The other summons, having made up their minds, return to their beastly forms one after another, showing off their fur and cuteness.

Miss Charlotte’s cheeks flushed red in front of the fluffy little dogs and adorable rabbits.

She puts her hands over her mouth, and for some reason, she has tears in the corners of her eyes.

“there are so many fluffy……!”

Miss Charlotte, surrounded by a large number of animals, burst into tears as if she was so moved.

As she exclaimed her happiness, the summons pressed her to sign a contract with them in that manner.

I finally gave up thinking in the face of the scene that made me want to rush in and say, ‘What is this chaotic space…….’

I’ve already lost the energy to even make a comment …….

“No, I have to put up with it for the sake of world peace. ……! But even the great mages who have left their mark on …… history have signed contracts with legendary summons…….  No, no, no! Calm down! Get a hold of yourself! This is no longer just about me!”

Frantically disciplining herself, Miss Charlotte repeatedly took deep breaths while patting the heads of the fluffy summons.

The holy beasts appealed their charms as best they could in front of her, as she tried to somehow keep herself in check.

Miss Charlotte’s cheeks relaxed involuntarily at the flirtatious salesmanship that seemed like they abandoned their pride as summons.

But, “Don’t be fooled by their cuteness!” she hurriedly tightened her expression.

“Let’s calm down for a moment! Think again about the advantages and disadvantages of signing a contract with the summons!”

SheI shouted half to herself, and Miss Charlotte looked up at the ceiling.

She may have intentionally left them out of her sight, as she could not calmly judge things in front of the fluffy summons.

I cowered my shoulders and listened to Miss Charlotte’s soliloquy “Finally, you’re starting to really think about it.”

“The advantages of signing a contract are a significant increase in strength and influence …… and then ──── the ability to touch fluffy fur and feathers at any time! Frankly, the first two are only disadvantages, but it’s hard to get rid of the fluff……!”

‘That was the best petting ever! ‘ exclaims Miss Charlotte, clenching her fists tightly in a giggle.

Her expression was very soft,──── perhaps remembering the feel of the fur, but it quickly returned to a somber expression.

“ But I can’t ignore the possibility that the increased power and influence could lead to trouble……. If it only affects my personal friendships, it could turn into a major problem on a global scale. Should I forgo the contract after all……?”

The fact that she had escaped from the temptation of the Fluffy fur, Miss Charlotte, who had become calmer and calmer, frowned with annoyance.

The summons protested one after another as her thoughts turned to the direction of not signing a contract.

I was sympathetic to miss Charlotte’s thoughts, while they argued  “We can keep the contract a secret”, and “those who complain about it can be erased.”

I see…… the reason why she was reluctant to make a contract with the summons was to avoid any trouble. It is true that if Miss Charlotte, a user of the art of prayer, gains any more power, the people around her will be affected in many ways. The powers that be in various countries will not be able to ignore her presence. Even the temples might start to move…… At the very least, she won’t be able to live in peace and quiet without incident!

In front of Miss Charlotte, who ponders in agony, I sympathize with her a little, saying, ‘That’s a difficult problem to solve’.

It is important to assume the worst and act based on that, but it is a little regrettable to get caught up in that possibility and miss out on a valuable opportunity. That didn’t mean she should take the deal lightly.

As an adult, should I offer any advice? I’m not sure, but I’m not a great enough person to meddle in other people’s contracts, Above all, I didn’t think I could give good advice that would be beneficial. I would probably just end up saying something bland and pretty and be done with it. If that’s the case, it would be better to do nothing.

I concluded, “I have no choice but to leave it to her own will,” and I just stared at Miss Charlotte’s profile.

After a while, she stood up quickly, her face serious and troubled.

“ Dear summons, thank you for your patience. I have finally come up with an idea, so I will make another announcement.”

Miss Charlotte looked down at the summons gathered at her feet.

Her lips pursed in a tight line, she took a deep breath and tightened her expression.

Then, she cleared her throat once and bowed her head ──── vigorously.

“I’m sorry────, I can’t make a contract with you all. You even let me touch your prized fur, but I am truly sorry,…… and deeply apologize.”

Miss Charlotte apologizes in a serious voice and expresses her apology with all her might.

“You are all summons of the legendary class, so I cannot make a contract with you lightly. Above all, I am still a child and have not grown up enough to properly handle the power of a …… summon. I think I am not worthy of making a contract with you. Therefore, please give up on making a contract with me.”

Miss Charlotte, who refused the contract on the grounds of her own inexperience, bows her head even more deeply.

With the utmost respect, she was reluctant to look up, as if to show her sincerity.

Certainly, it is dangerous to give the power of a legendary summon to a child who is not yet twenty years old. Miss Charlotte is quite mature, but she is still a child,……. I don’t think she is experienced enough to sign up with a legendary summon.

I understand that this is a reasonable opinion, and I quietly watch the summons’ reactions.

The fact that they have been rejected not twice, but three times, I thought they would be furious,────, but they were unexpectedly calm.

They were not particularly distraught, and after quietly making eye contact with each other, they looked up.

“I understand. Now… I give up. We are not so far gone as to force a contract on a pure and innocent child. When you become an adult, I will apply for the contract again. But I have one request to make.”

The holy beast stepped forward and looked up at Miss Charlotte with dull eyes.

“──── If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to call us. I think our power will be useful enough even in the state of temporary contract.”

“eh……?”

Miss Charlotte froze at the unexpected offer, cracking up and blinking repeatedly.

She could not hide her bewilderment, as if she had been expecting a grudging response.

Fearfully, she looked up and saw the summons’ faces and lowered her eyebrows as if she were troubled.

“But, are you sure ……? I’ve turned down the contract so many times…….”

“I’m shocked that you refused to sign the contract, but I don’t mind. We would rather welcome it. We like you. You’re the first person who sees us not as the most powerful weapon but as a pet”

The holy beast rubbed against Miss Charlotte’s leg, speaking in a pleasant voice with no hint of anger.

“So please feel free to call on us. I am always ready to accept a summons from the great mage.”

Circling around Miss Charlotte’s feet, the holy beast sat down in a well behaved manner

Wagging his tail, the holy beast sat on its haunches and purred good-humoredly.

The other summons were also in a good mood and agreed with the “request” of the holy beast.

Miss Charlotte, surprised by the unexpected response, kneels down on the floor, puzzled.

“Okay. I will definitely call on you when I need your help. Then ──── my name is Charlotte Luna Meyers. I am sorry it took me so long to tell you my name.”

”I’ve been having a hard time finding the right moment,” said Miss Charlotte with a wry smile as she made eye contact with each of the summons.

The summons smile softly at her as she squints happily at them.

“Charlotte Luna Meyers, is it? That’s a nice name.”

“Yes! Then I’ll call you Charlotte from now on!”

“Well, I’ll at least remember your name! Be honored!”

The summons, led by Phoenix the Phoenix, the Holy Beast, the Spirits of Fire, express their thoughts.

The room became noisy at once, and when they saw Miss Charlotte’s smile, they narrowed their eyes in satisfaction.

“Well, then, we must be off now. Please call on us again anytime. We are sincerely looking forward to Charlotte’s call.”

The holy beast, bidding farewell on behalf of the occasion, tapped its tail on the magic circle for summoning spread throughout the room.

With that as the cue, the power leaking from the summons was sucked into the magic circle.

The magic circle, glowing purple, feeds on the absorbed power and proceeds with the work of unsummoning.

With short greetings of “bye-bye” and “see you later,” the summons voluntarily cancelled the summoning and disappeared like puffs of ──── smoke.

In the room, which at once became less oppressive, I suddenly looked around.

What a …… dreadful way to end it. No, before that, was what just happened real ……? It was so unrealistic, I feel as if I was seeing an illusion.

“What am I supposed to report to His Majesty?” I exhaled as I pondered,

I sigh in exhaustion and press my eyes.

──── Thus, the long but short investigation of the summoning technique came to an end.
