66 – Grand Duke Aka – 66
The reason why summoners made contracts with summoners even ignoring their original power was simple.
It was for a more enjoyable game, or because they wanted more power, or to make a wish to the gods.
It was said that only those who were so desperate could be summoned.
By the way, why is this guy doing this here?
“Ooh! Lord! Lord!”
Hercules jumps up and comes to me, pounding his chest and making a fuss.
“Hey, Hercules? Anyone know?”
“Ooh! Gallier! This is my lord, whom I always spoke of! The hero of the bug-type demons, and the true master of the Pandemonium!”
“what? This, this one?!”
You are the owner of the demon realm. How did you usually describe me?
“… … We’re going to need a conversation. Hugo. Can you catch that guy trying to run away?”
“He? The summoned beast was reverse summoned, so he must have been shocked too. He is trying to escape.”
The reverse summoning by the summoner was also a situation where the summoner was overburdened.
In the game, it was explained in a way that ‘the circle gets hurt’, but it was said that it could be cured after a few days of recuperation, so it won’t die.
Hugo ran quickly and stunned him in an instant, dragging him along.
“Are the wounds okay? Hercules.”
When I looked at Hercules again and asked, he thumped his chest as if there was no problem.
“To a man, pain is enough when you let go of someone dear to you or when you fail to protect something!”
It must mean that you are fine.
“… … what the hell are you doing here Hercules. Shouldn’t you be defending the territory with Sylvie?”
If the information I knew was correct, Hercules would have to remain in the territory and guard it with Sylvie.
If you have enough specs to block Baal’s attack with only your strength, you must be different from birth. But why are you here with a 1-star body?
“I-I will explain! So please don’t scold Hercules!”
The one who answered my question was Gallier, a boy trembling behind Hercules.
He was still trembling with his eyes closed as if he hadn’t adjusted to my appearance.
“… … Excuse me. transform.”
After the battle, there was no reason to maintain wheel form, so he returned to his human form.
“You can open your eyes now.”
“Ah, four!”
And, Gallier cautiously opened his eyes. Looking at me, he exhaled a long breath and stared at me with straight eyes.
“So, are you going to explain?”
“… yes It’s because of me that a demon like Hercules became a summoned beast, and the reason he remains as an adult is because of me.”
And Gallier started talking.
It is said that Gallier was originally born as the son of an ordinary farmer and was destined to make a living by farming.

Gallier, as always, was helping the family, and in the meantime, he ran out of firewood and headed to the mountains to cut wood.
And in that mountain, he said he met Hercules.
“At first I was surprised. A huge rhinoceros beetle was injured and attached to a tree sucking its sap.”
The human world was a dangerous place for Hercules, who came down without any information.
It was because his body was seriously injured because he had torn through a space that was no different from another dimension only by force.
According to the explanation of Hercules, who was next to him, he had no choice but to generate 2-star strength, and even that was incomplete due to his wounds.
“So I brought Hercules. Because it looked very painful.”
“… … It must have been the first monster you’ve ever seen. You mean you brought home a monster you had never seen before?”

Galier nodded at my question.
“Yes, I felt no malice at all, and above all… … The first thing Hercules said upon seeing me was, ‘Are you lost?! I’ll just eat this and help!’ because it was A monster who says such things must be bad.”

Gallier smiled, as if recalling that time.
“Above all… … Because it’s so cool. It has a large body and even huge horns that rise upward. It made my heart race just by looking at it.”
… … … .
“ha ha ha! The horns on this body must be cool!”
… … Some people get stunned and cursed just by looking at them because they are wheels, but that guy gets a crush just by looking at them?
Suddenly the world started to hate me.
If you put it in the game, I’ll put it in as a cool character like a stag beetle or rhinoceros beetle.
Why am I a wheel?
“Lord, Lord?”
Perhaps reading something from my expression, Hercules cautiously called me.
“hmm? what.”
“Because you look very distressed.”
Maybe his expression was also distorted?
Just as he was about to reply, “Don’t worry,” he noticed that blood was still forming from Hercules’ wounds.
“… … no. Rather than talk more, I’d rather treat you. Summoner of Hercules. Do you know how to do healing magic?”
“… … I can only use auxiliary magic yet.”
Why did you sign a contract with a child like this?
“… … follow me Hercules, you must enter the mental space.”
“Scars of this size cannot block my path!”
“It’s on the verge of blocking my way, so go in carefully.”
“yes.”
I shook my head, sighing when I finally saw Hercules disappearing.
“Hugo. I’m sorry, but it’s going to be hard sparring today.”
“I can’t help it. Are you going back?”
“Yeah, it seems like it’s a problem that I’ll have to ask others to heal.”
After saying that, I looked at Gallier, who was downcast.
“I don’t think this happens once or twice, but do you usually get attacked this badly?”
“yes? Oh, no. Normally, if you just say you don’t have money, I’m the only one who gets hit and it’s over… … . He said he had to buy a present for the princess because the princess was coming to the academy, and that guy brought out a summons. Seeing that, I reflexively called Hercules… … .”
Priscilla was involved up to this point?
Truly, it was astonishing that such a thing was happening inside the Imperial Academy, which was outwardly professing to be a classless academy.
“First, follow me. Because it looks like we need to heal Hercules first.”
“yes!”
Me and Hugo ran, adjusting our speed so that Gallier could catch up.
The bully caught in Hugo’s side was a bonus.
When we arrived at the annex, Hugo decided to go inside through the window because he thought it would take him from the first floor if he took the bully like this, and I confidently entered the annex with Gallier.
“Ah, you’re back soon. After that, the student… … ?”
“He is an acquaintance. I’m going to invite you inside, but is there a problem?”
“yes? No problem.”
“Then it doesn’t matter.”
After passing through the front desk on the first floor, I went up to Priscilla’s room on the third floor.
Hearing the sound coming through the door, it seemed that the others were still in Priscilla’s room.
“Are you going in now?”
Hugo sneaks up from behind.
“What about him?”
“I tied it up and threw it in the corner of the room. Nothing special.”
“Good.”
As we were talking like that, Gallier, who was sandwiched between us with a puzzled look on his face, asked cautiously.
“Hey, isn’t this the annex? I heard that guests from the Summoners Academy were to come to the annex today… … Maybe you?”
“As you know. And in this room is the princess you mentioned earlier, Priscilla.”
“yes? Hey, are you the princess? Now, wait a minute, if a guy like me accidentally met the princess——”
I ignored the guy who was flustered by himself and knocked on Priscilla’s door.
“I did it! I really did!”
That’s really noisy.
“Gregory? What, did you come because you missed me?”
Raphael opened the door and grinned. He seemed to already know that he was standing in front of the door.
“Unfortunately, I have a request for the other children inside, not you.”
“hmm? other kids? what’s the matter?”
“… Can I come in and explain?”
Soon, Raphael’s expression subtly changes as he sees Gallier trembling behind me.
“Who is that child?”
“My acquaintance’s summoner. He’s someone you know.”
“A guy I know? Well, since you brought it, it should be safe. Come in.”
As I entered the wide open door, the girls who were sitting and chatting all the time looked at me.
“Gregory! Are you here to play?”
Rose greets me with a bright smile and waves. I thought I would laugh at that appearance, but I decided to hold it in first because I came because I had a request.
“hmm? The person behind… … Are you a student at the Imperial Academy?”
And Priscilla, noticing Gallier behind me, asks.
“Oh yeah. This guy’s name is… … Galio?”
“Go, Gallier! Gallier, a humble citizen of the empire, is the noblest flower in the empire, a lofty golden star in the southern sky. Meet Princess Priscilla!”
Screaming out those words, Gallier knelt down on the floor.
noble flowers? A lofty golden star in the southern sky? What kind of grandiose modifier is this?

Glancing at Priscilla, I saw her blushing face covering her face with both hands.
“Come on, sleep! stop and get up! Because I feel ashamed to death!”
And Raphael hugs Priscilla’s face from behind as if Priscilla is going to die of cuteness.
“Priscilla, the lofty golden star representing the south of our empire! You are so cute!”
“Ra, stop Raphael too! I’m really ashamed and want to die… … !”
“Ph, Miss Priscilla! The noblest flower in the empire! That’s a cool nickname! It’s a much prettier nickname than me being called the bully elf at school!”
“Oh no!!!!”
“A lofty golden star representing the south. Indeed, I think it is a modifier worthy of an imperial princess.”
“Gmmaaan!!!!”
The room has turned into a place where Priscilla screams before she knows it.
And Gallier, who was still lying on his stomach in the room, was still on the floor, trembling.
… … no.
Hercules… … .
I need to heal… … .
“cute! Priscilla!”
“What a nice nickname!”
“I think it suits you.”
“Gmmaaan!!!!”
… … Can this be done?
