The Villainess Who Was Dumped Got Married into My Family, a Mob Noble from the Frontier, and Turns Out, She's an Amazing Capable Wife? - Chapter 61: Summer Time Memory - Summoning a Demon

Chapter 61: Summer Time Memory – Summoning a Demon

What is love? It’s like a battlefield. 

Following Sebas’s advice, I decided to invite Alicia and Mariana to join in the demon summoning.

Hey, ever heard of the suspension bridge effect?

It’s when your heart races with fear or anxiety, and you mistake that excitement as being in love with the person you’re with.

Summoning a demon is quite a dangerous endeavor. 

That’s why I thought it would make for an unforgettable summer experience.

“How about it, Sebas? What do you think of my plan?”

“It’s a brilliant idea.”

Nice! With Sebas’s approval, I immediately went to invite the two who were having tea, and we proceeded to perform the demon summoning in the mansion’s basement.

“You suddenly call us for what? A demon summoning…?” 

“D-D-Demon summoning… fuheee…” 

Alicia held her head in dismay, while Mariana, although scared, adjusted her glasses with interest.

Mariana seemed unexpectedly intrigued, causing Alicia to sigh even deeper.

“This is almost forbidden magic! It’s fascinating, but aren’t you worried about being punished for doing something like this?”

“There’s no problem, at least not in Brave territory.”

Sebas added. 

Exactly, enemy nations are doing it too, so it’s not really banned anywhere. 

“Anyway, demons don’t listen to what we say, so it all ends in self-destruction.”

Demons are demons, never listening to what you say.

They act only based on their own likes and dislikes, leading to their own downfall.

That’s why Jelasis is no exception; he’s destined to destroy himself anyway.

While someone might endure the constant whispers of a demon with enough mental strength, it seems improbable given his condition.

His mind seems shattered, perhaps why he finds the demon’s whispers comforting.

But then again, refusing to heed the words of others is the mark of a fool.

“So, you’re saying you want us to experience something like that…?”

“But the goal isn’t to summon and make a contract; it’s to defeat them.” 

“Hohou, being summoned must be a real hassle for them.”

Alicia sighed softly at our usual behavior, me and Sebas. 

“Being able to summon demons so easily is incredible, isn’t it…?”

“That’s how things are in Brave territory. Oh, I forgot about that…”

Mariana seemed more intrigued than anything, suggesting she might be well-suited for Brave.

“Both of you, please take this stone.”

Sebas handed something to Alicia and Mariana.

They were smooth, white stones.

“What are these?” 

“Such beautiful stones. They feel so unique.”

“These are called White Agates, and they protect you from demonic temptations.” 

I see, if we enter the mental realm, I won’t be able to protect them, so these stones are like insurance for that situation.

“Nice one, Sebas. What about mine?”

“Hohou, you know there’s nothing for you.”

“I had a feeling, but did you have to say it so bluntly?” 

“Considering it’s also part of your training to kill demons, would you really want to rely on something like that, Young Master?”

“Nah, I don’t need it.” 

I’m already prepared for dealing with the mental world. 

All I want to know is how to kill them.

“These were made exclusively for the ladies of the Brave family, in case something happens to them.”

“Heh.” 

I didn’t know that, since I hardly had any interaction with my mother.

“There was a time.”

Sebas said, looking distant.

“When a lady of the house, seduced by a demon, killed the lord.”

“Hey, Sebas, how old are you?”

Alicia asked.

“Hohou, I’ve served the Brave family for generations, so I know these stories.”

I was curious about his age because he often talks about the past.

He’s been with the Brave family for so long.

Let me leave these words for Sebas, 

“Sebas, thank you for everything.”

“Shall we start the summoning then? Lady Mariana, do you know what’s needed for summoning a demon?”

“Fuhe! Um, a sacrifice!”

It’s like class is in session. 

Mariana answered while adjusting her glasses.

“You definitely need blood or organs! Human ones are preferred. I heard that there were incidents in the past where using animal parts instead angered the demon, leading to everyone losing their lives!”

“Excellent answer.”

“Ehehe fuhehe, Alicia, I got praised! Sir Sebas praised me!”

“That’s great… So, if we want to purposely anger them, we could use animal offerings, right?”

“Lady Alicia, that’s also an excellent answer. Both of you are so clever.”

Sebas complimented, and Alicia seemed a bit happier.

“But a demon summoned with an animal might not be that challenging.”

It’s not good to anger them and cause harm to others, so maybe using my own blood for the summoning would make it more interesting. 

“Let’s use my blood.” 

“Stop that, Ragna.”

Alicia said, grabbing my shoulder and even pulling out a collar.

Kuhn.

But I’m genuinely curious about whose blood would summon the strongest demon.

It’s incredibly dangerous, so probably not a good idea.

“Here, we have a fresh carcass of a creature caught just this morning.”

What appeared from the void was an Orc Lord, reigning supreme among the orcs that infest the Ydaina Mountains.

“That’s huge!”

Alicia was perplexed in front of the three-meter-tall creature. 

“It’s an Orc Lord.”

“With something like this, it doesn’t matter whose blood we use; it’s an unbelievable creature…”

“You think?”

While the Orc Lord is indeed a threat, it’s only mid-ranking in the ecosystem of the Ydaina mountains. 

There are far more formidable predators deeper in.

“Fuhee, this is my first time seeing one. It’s really huge. And aren’t these testicles traded for a high price?”

“Mariana! Don’t talk about that! …Sigh.” 

Mariana, while adjusting her glasses and looking at the Orc Lord’s groin, made Alicia look away and sigh, seemingly giving up. 

There sure are a lot of sighs today, huh?

“Alright, Young Master, please proceed with the summoning.”

“Got it.”

I stand in front of the magic circle.

If I remember correctly, it’s something like, “Come forth, beings from another world who wish to enter this realm, I offer a part of this world you desire right here, right now,” right? 

Should I try to do it without chanting?

I pour magical energy into the magic circle, focusing on the Orc Lord placed in the center.

Then, the magic circle starts glowing a dark red. 

“Ooh!”

The Orc Lord’s carcass melts and gets sucked into the magic circle. 

The magic power inside the circle mixes messily, and something that vaguely resembles a human appears in the center.

A man wearing a tailcoat with green hair.

“Fumu, summoning me without chanting is quite an achievement. Now, tell me your wish, what do you seek from me, this sweet—geh, farewell.”

And the demon disappeared.

Huh!? Sweet what!?
