Chapter 17: Intruders

While the others seemingly got along, discussing tales from their own worlds, Mirumu and Noah went to a quiet section of the subspace mansion: a vast library that spiraled high, holding a calm lounge and fireplace within it. 

“This place is seriously amazing. I’m sure Deluge will have architecture like this someday–well, that’s what I want to talk to you about,” Mirumu said. 

“Deluge?...Oh, that’s your country, isn’t it? ‘The Federation of Monsters’,” Noah said. 

It was likely odd for the summoned figures that Noah knew them like the back of his hand, but it was only the truth as the adolescent had spent most of his youth engrossed in such novels. 

The azure-haired figure folded their arms, wearing a long, black-and-gray coat, “Yeah. I have a duty as their ruler, you know? I can’t explain it, but there’s something inside of me that makes me subservient to you…I feel a bond to you, but still…I have my own people that rely on me. Friends. Family. I can’t just abandon them.” 

“You’re not asking to return exactly, are you?” Noah realized. 

Mirumu shook their head, “I’m asking you to do what you did to bring me here, but for Deluge itself–now, don’t worry! I’m not asking ya’ to summon thousands of people here at once, just eventually.” 

At first he was confused, believing this would be something he’d have to consider, though with the realization of how the magecraft he put into place functioned, he realized it was much more simpler than that. 

“That won’t be necessary,” Noah agreed. 

“Huh? Why’s that?” 

“You’re free to return to your world anytime you wish. I can summon you when I truly need your help, and that’s all–in return, you can have anything you need from this world. I’m sure you miss certain manga series, right?” He told Mirumu. 

“Wait, really? Aww, that’s a relief!” Mirumu laughed, “And totally! I need to catch up on Won Peace!” 

“Yeah, you do,” Noah assured them. 

Noah could only count himself lucky that [“Sentience Bestowment”] made figures like Mirumu affable enough to him as if he were a childhood friend, otherwise he likely would’ve been attacked on the spot for dragging them from their lives. 

After fully explaining the conditions of their summoning and that they could still return to their worlds and back to normal Earth as his call, he took his leave, finally returning to his room as he locked the ethereal entrance in his closet. 

“...Phew…” 

He immediately fell onto his bed, drained from the experience, though left in a surreal state that surpassed even the reality of his powers. 

‘They’re real. They’re seriously real. So cool…’ He thought. 

“Gah!” He let out, sitting up. 

The entire time, he had to contain his inner geek from exploding into pure ‘fanboy’ from letting out in front of them, having to make sure he held the image of a well-adjusted warrior in his own right. 

Now that he was alone, his cheeks were burning hot and a smile on his lips couldn’t be dissuaded. At times like this, he realized just what sort of blessings he had, filling him with adrenaline and utmost excitement as he clenched his fists, wanting to do more.

“Seal,” he said as an invocation. 

Appearing on the back of his hand was a magical tattoo of his own creation, acting as a link to each of the fictional heroes he summoned so that he’d be able to bring them to his position at a simple call. 

“Return,” he said. 

A verdant glow appeared on the mystical seal on his hand, invoking his will to return all of the figures left in the subspace to their rightful homes. 

‘Alright, that’s done now. When I need them, I can call them to my side, and since I already established a connection with them personally, there won’t be any issues in the heat of battle. I can’t lose now,’ he thought. 

However, this was only the beginning of a new age of darkness; indulging in his powers to such a degree at least, seeing what he was capable of doing, he felt a new high. 

As he refueled his exhausted body with a hearty dinner of a double-stacked sandwich and a chicken breast, his phone buzzed against his leg as he drew it from his pocket.

There were text messages and missed calls from Emily, Akari, and Freja, which brought a smile to his lips as he felt his romancing tactics bearing fruit. 

‘I almost forgot–I was so caught up in ‘fantasy brought to life’ that I forgot about them,’ he thought. 

As he replied to their texts, he suddenly stopped as something registered in his hyper-aware senses; it was subtle, but he heard a single leaf crunch beyond the walls of his home, just outside. He was sitting at the table in the dining room, glancing towards the front door of his home. The reason he was onguard was simple: he knew nobody else was supposed to be coming home at this time. 

A single ‘thud’ hit the door, surprising him. 

‘Could it be somebody from school? I don’t remember inviting anybody,’ he thought. 

Just as he was about to stand up to check the door, he remembered the encounter he had earlier in the week, instead opting to rely on [“Absolute Sensory”]--though before he could cast the spell, the window directly to his right shattered. 

“--!” 

A grenade emitting pale smoke fell into the kitchen, catching him by surprise as he quickly responded with one of his passive abilities: [“Object Authority”]

It was a passive spell that gave him telekinetic abilities, allowing him to lift the grenade up from a distance, flicking his wrist to send it back out of the window. 

The residual smoke that made it into the kitchen caused him to cough, though its effects were mitigated by his enhanced constitution, merely an annoyance. 

‘Who’s attacking? The police? Why? I made sure there was no evidence of anything!’ He thought.
