Chapter 38: The Result of the Investigation

The thin film stretched over the room vanished like an illusion, and the peach-colored magic circle shattered without a trace. We were speechless at the destruction of the warding magic, which could be called a lifeline.

For safety reasons, we should stop the operation immediately, but it’s not possible to cancel the active magic circle.

I was so panicked that I was dripping with cold sweat.

As long as I can’t …… abort, I’ll just have to go with the flow. There’s nothing else I can do in such a crisis.

Besides──── if push comes to shove, all I have to do is unsummon them and deport them.

‘Calm down,’ I tell myself, and focus on the magic circle that glows with a dazzling light.

While I was bracing myself for what was going to emerge from the magic circle that spread throughout the ──── room, nearly 20 summons appeared

In the room, where the sense of oppression quickly increases, summons of various shapes and sizes, from humanoid to animal, appear.

I was stunned by the number of summons, which was more than a dozen.

There were far more of them than I had expected. But that’s not the main problem. The problem was the power that each ──── summon possesses.

The amount of power and pressure that can be felt just by being there makes you think…… this is definitely a powerful person. I honestly don’t want to make an enemy ……. I mean, I would like to ask them to leave now.

Even though I succeeded in summoning him, I was not happy, and I’m inclined to Deport them.

While I felt fear and anxiety from the unexpected big guys, the summoned people looked around with a curious look on their faces.

“ Mmmm? It’s been a long time since I’ve been down here, but it’s still a very bleak place. If you wish to summon this mistress, make sure it’s somewhere with a better view.

“Oh, come on! Don’t be so huffy! It’s better than last time when we couldn’t get summoned because the exit was too narrow!”

“At That time, we were deported after all.”

“This time, the exits are wider, thank God.”

The summons exchanged friendly words with each other, as if they knew each other.

From the content of the conversation, it seems that the previous summoning was just a clogged exit, as Emilia-sama hypothesized.

I had guessed this when more than twenty summons appeared, but when it was affirmed as a fact, I was at a loss for a reaction.

I thought of the large number of hands that had crawled out of the magic circle in my mind and was relieved thinking that ‘it was the right decision to deport them’.

If they’d shown up in a school classroom, there would have been panic for sure. The class wouldn’t have been able to continue.

Imagining the scene of the school in chaos, I drooped my shoulders a little.

I took one glance at the unidentified summons and glanced at Erwin-sama and Keith-sama, who were standing by the wall. They stood there stunned, seeming to stiffen in surprise.

“Ugh, are you kidding me ……? What is this number ……? I mean, a red bird with flaming wings, don’t tell me it’s the divine beast phoenix! What!? It’s real!?”

“Look! That tanned skin and the red stone embedded in his forehead, could it be ──── the Spirit King of Flames! It’s exactly as I’ve read about in past literature!”

“Nah……! Wait! That’s a holy beast! And that one is ────.”

They were so upset that their voices were hoarse and their eyes were wide open.

The two top court mages seem to have a wealth of knowledge and are able to guess the true identities of the summons.

They ‘wheezed’ and were gasping for breath as I, a humble viscountess, presented them with information that they could never have known. They looked up at the ceiling in front of them, unable to contain their excitement.

I did not know how to react to the identity of the summons, who were ten times greater than I had expected.

Divine beasts, spirit kings, holy beasts …….

I knew they must be big, but I hadn’t heard that they were legendary class……! Why are all these summons from the Bible and mythology here! No, it’s because I summoned them……! But I didn’t expect so many legendary class summons to come all at once! Why did you accept the summons of a little girl less than twenty years old! All I wanted was to summon a fluffy one like Earth-kun……!

’I don’t remember having high hopes!’ I screamed in my heart as I was overwhelmed by the unexpected situation.

I had no big ambition or desire to achieve greatness, so the arrival of a legendary-class summon was just a nuisance to me.

While I suppress my desire to deport them right now, Erwin-sama and Keith-sama look at me excitedly.

‘This is great, Charlotte! This is a historic event! Thank you for letting me help you investigate your summoning technique! Thanks to you, this has been a great experience!”

“I’ve been up all night and my exhaustion is all gone in one fell swoop! Thanks, Miss Charlotte! So ────, was there a summoner you wanted to contract with? No, I’m sure there is! With such a great lineup here, how could there not be?”

“I’d like you to sign contracts with all of them, if they don’t mind! But that’s a bit greedy, isn’t it?”

Erwin-sama and Keith-sama look at me with excitement and ask, “Which one?”

Their eyes full of curiosity were much like those of gossip-loving school girls

Just the other day, they asked me, “Who is your type, His Highness Prince Grayson or Crown Prince Leonardo?” I let out a breath, remembering that they had persistently asked me.

I’m not good with this kind of question …… Above all, it’s a little awkward to answer in front of them…….

I look somewhat far away from the situation, tempted to say, “Is this some new kind of harassment?”

In front of me trying to escape from reality, Erwin-sama and Keith-sama were filled with anticipation.

The summons, with their proud looks on their faces, were saying, “It’s me, anyway, isn’t it?” They turned their chests as if to say.

I let out a breath of air and prepared myself for the confident attitude of the summons.

I have a feeling that it’s going to be a rough path, but if it comes to it, I’ll just unsummon them and ask them to leave.

I vowed to myself that I would face reality and braced myself.

Nervously, I looked up and opened my mouth.

“The summon I want to contract with is not here ──── !”

I shouted my true feelings without lying, indicating that I had no intention of signing a contract with anyone.

As a social comment,  ‘I want to sign a contract with all of them!’ It would be easy to answer, but hard to make a contract. If I sign a contract with a legendary class summon, I will attract even more attention. It’s not a good idea to get too much power, which could lead to more trouble. Even now I’m already involved in the problem of the candidate for the crown princess and the power struggle of the nobility,…….

I have the courage and guts to confront troublesome issues, but I don’t have the taste for going out of my way to add to them, so I wanted to eliminate as much uncertainty as possible.

I prepared myself for deportation at any time, hoping not to increase my usefulness any further.

I looked around for the reactions of the people around me, inwardly freaking out. ──── Everyone in the room opened their eyes wide with surprise.

“”Huh ……! Are you insane ……!””
