84. “Give it up”
“Lancia aa Lancia!”
The duke, who accompanied the knights with the sound of horseshoes, summoned his summoned beast as it was and threw down a riot.
Like the duke of the East, he passed the 4-star summons to Lancia and kept the 3-star summons.
The summoned three-star summoned beast looked around and confirmed that there was no problem, then tilted his head.
That feeling was passed on to the duke immediately, and the duke, who arrived all the way to his nose, swung his sword in a jiffy and searched for demons.
“… The demons?”
“It was all over.”
“You mean?”
“He did.”
Lancia said so and pointed to Ian. Ian, who was stepping on the demon’s head, waved his hand while sitting lightly.
It wasn’t an ugliness to be seen in front of the duke, but the duke didn’t care. Rather, he got up and hugged him, and wept tears of gratitude.
“Thank you, thank you… .”
“No, I- what is this… .”
Ian realized that hugging a middle-aged man was not enough. Realizing that the middle-aged man was wet with tears, he looked at Lancia, feeling helpless.
Isn’t it impossible to get mad at the old man not to cry? Ian simply stroked the duke’s back without saying a word.
It was not a beauty or a woman, and I was comforting a middle-aged man when he cried, so I felt very uncomfortable.
“… Father, you are ugly. Stop crying.”
“Ugh-! okay. I see.”
Hearing Lancia’s words, the duke quickly fell and stole his eyes. Then the duke, who regained his original form in just a few seconds, gave orders to the knights and wizards accompanying him.
“The demons have been defeated by this hero here! Knights should check for any remnants, and wizards should fill the tunnels!”
Hearing the duke’s orders, the knights and wizards moved in unison. Although it had already collapsed in half due to Empress’s attack, the wizards did not miss the gap that could not be completely closed.
While the wizards and knights were working, the duke didn’t take a break, but instead ordered his summoned beast to prepare for an attack from a monster or demon.
Now that there would be no problem, Ian relaxed, and the moment he relaxed, he felt tiredness all over his body.
‘what… .’
Ian felt his head spinning and collapsed. He could even see Lancia running towards him.
“—Ian!”
* * *
Tick-tick-tick-tick-.
Ian woke up to the sound of the clock repeating the pendulum movement in a constant rhythm, thinking that he would no longer be able to hear that annoying clock, he got up.
As I stood up, intense vertigo struck my body. What this was, he knew all too well now.
Crackle-!
‘… I’m hungry.’
It was dark outside all of a sudden. I grabbed my staggering legs and got up and went outside.
I had forgotten the fact that all the energy used by the summons came from my body. The more I use a special move or technique, the more it puts a strain on my body, but I fired without thinking too much.
“Whoa, whoa… .”
Because of the lack of nutrients, every step is accompanied by vigorous breathing. As I was walking while praying that I might meet someone, I noticed a faint light flickering in the distance.
“who… Ugh!”
“Finally, I found it… .”
The moment she made eye contact with the maid who was patrolling the building at night, she looked at me in amazement.
Yes, it would be surprising if a person who had been lying down as if dead moved would be surprised. He quickly grabbed her body and opened his mouth.
“Baab… … .”
“Yes, yes!?”
“Eat something, hurry- it’s urgent… .”
“Yep!”
Hearing my mutter, the maid threw me away and ran away quickly. No, I can understand it, but I’ll have to support him and go with him… .
How much time had passed, something moist touched the corner of my mouth, which had collapsed as if it had passed out.
He carefully opened his mouth and chewed, but now he didn’t even have the strength to open and close his mouth.
As the pieces of bread in their mouths kept falling to the floor, the pieces of bread that kept coming in stopped.
‘Well then.’
It seemed that the other party was struggling with the power to feed it because it kept spilling. Hell, even if it’s like me, it must have washed away my heart to do something for someone who keeps spilling it.
As I was thinking about it, suddenly something soft stopped my lips.
Just as I was wondering if I was going to do an assassination, something finely ground began to come over me.
This can be swallowed. When I received something that looked like a mixture of soup and bread, little by little, my whole body began to feel strong.
After regaining some energy, I gently pushed the opponent in front of me to express that I could eat on my own.
“… Are you in the mood?”
nodded.
But he didn’t have the energy to open his eyes and speak. Whether the other party knew about it, he dipped the shredded bread in the soup and fed it.
After eating that? Now I’m craving protein. Meat, I want to eat meat. Bacon is good, pork belly is good, and whole barbecue is good.
Anyway, I want to eat meat.
Crackle-.
“… meat.”
“Do you want meat?”
nod.
“I think it will be difficult here… Hello, call the knight.”
“All right.”
After a voice came and went, I felt someone lift me up. As I was led by his hand and headed somewhere, I could smell the fragrant smell of meat.
He is seated in a chair and holds a fork and knife in his hands. Carbohydrates started to circulate in my body to some extent, and I had the strength to open my eyes, but I still did not have the strength to lift anything.
“Should I feed you?”
At some point, Lancia, who was sitting next to me, asked. I carefully put down my fork and knife and nodded.
Seeing my nod, Lancia carefully ripped the meat apart and put it in my mouth. Every time the juice bursts out of your mouth, your whole body is energized.
By the time he ate half a plate of meat, he had regained the strength to hold his fork and knife.
But I still pretended that my strength did not come back, and I ate the meat she fed me.
‘Crazy, crazy crazy crazy-.’

My head is spinning and I think about what happened before. The touching touch, no matter how much I thought about it, was Lancia’s lips.
He turns his gaze carefully, coveting her lips. Those lips are the thing I coveted my lips.
Of course, I had no intention of saying anything about becoming a man and losing my lips to a woman. Rather, I wish Lancia was embarrassed.
“… I really enjoyed the meal.”
“Did you eat it all? You eat a lot.”
Seeing that the two plates were refilled and eaten, Lancia looked at me with a slightly tired expression.
But there was nothing I could do. If I hadn’t needed this much energy, I wouldn’t have collapsed in the first place.
I turned around to hide my shame.
“Aren’t others like this?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“So, among those who deal with multiple pets. A person who falls like this.”
Upon hearing my words, Lancia fell into trouble. Right now, his father, even the Duke of Stroke, was a summoner who handled several summoned beasts… In fact, it did not happen that he fell while dealing with the summoned beast.
‘… Ah, that’s right.’
Comparing myself to others, I could see why I was hungry more and fell down more often.
Summoners were the ones who shivered with all sorts of things, such as communion with the summoned ones, to learn one skill.
The more you deal with multiple pets, the less likely it will be to use all the powers of those pets.
In contrast, yourself? Any summoned beast can use its full power.
I was able to freely use skills and original arts that other people could not use for the rest of their lives.
‘It’s the difference between not using one skill properly and using all your energy… .’
Realizing that fact gave me a headache. Should I carry emergency food with me in the future?
I thought about how the main character solved this situation in the game. In the first place, this did not happen in the game, and according to the system, the main character would return to the academy unconditionally after a battle to supply supplies.
‘So do I do the same?’
It’s not some kind of Ultraman, it’s just that once we’ve fought, we’ll have to replenish it. It wasn’t weird.
“Do you have any disease?”
“… … uh?”
“You guys, you fell so suddenly… .”
“Oh, that’s not… .”
I realized that I had nothing to say to Lancia’s question. The other summoners who deal with multiple summons are fine, but is it absurd that I’m the only one who will die of hunger just because I’m dealing with multiple summons?
Rather, it was realistic to say that there were even incurable diseases that were hidden as she said.
“… In fact, I never told anyone.”
“—I never told anyone.”
At the slightly exaggerated lie, Lancia’s eyes twinkled. I calmly continued acting as a patient who might die tomorrow.
“I have a disease that cannot be cured even by the power of a summons.”
“… With the power of a peasant, it can be fixed.”
“This is the truth that His Majesty the Emperor–exactly what the summoned beast Artia told me.”
Perhaps the emperor’s name did not come out of my mouth, so Lancia looked at me with a firm expression on her face.
No matter how much the daughter of the duke family, they wouldn’t be able to confirm with the emperor whether it was true or not.
“They say that every time you use a summons, your life will be cut.”
“… How could it be?”
A little bit of moisture began to form in Lancia’s eyes at the increasing number of absurd lies.
She went to the point of shedding tears, grabbed my two hands and opened her mouth.
“Then, the more you fight the demons… .”
“Get close to death.”
“By the way, how can you be so carefree?”
“Because that’s what I have to do.”

Make eye contact with Lancia. The tactic of using the Knights Templar instead of a summoned beast seemed useful.
“Fighting demons is my destiny.”
So, including that, the power of this family.
I will take it all
Hah…., i hate this plot
