Chapter 11: A Bunch of Brave Men
(Thank you for the reward and support of Light and Shadow Arc)
Summoning a maid only to summon a shrine maid, the eight-key water has to question Lyle's research results, and the [Interdimensional Summons Return Magic Array] on the parchment has been regarded as a failed attempt with reference value for a long time.
It's just that it's the "people" who really hinder his way home, although Shui Ming is not a brave man, but he has the gentleness and dullness of a brave man, the female swordsman who met on the road, the gothic loli magician who met on the road, the black magician who chased after retrieving the tampered memory, and the amnesiac childhood sweetheart who was summoned as the brave man of Kingdom C will join him one after another to join his "Red Continent Tour", becoming the shackles of his free magician.
Of course, there is only one chief magician by his side at the moment, and the first key person he encounters during the journey is not one of the aforementioned girls-
"Really!? There is a way to return! "Naofumi Iwatani, the shield warrior of the four brave men summoned by Kingdom B, who was insulted by the king and framed by the princess because of his incompetence in his profession, is now doing business with a former Asian slave and a birdman, and is aware of his identity as a brave man when he spends the night in the hotel.
"If there is magic to summon, there must be magic to return." Shui Ming looked at the holy shield that he had just finished analyzing with magic and explained, "And everything related to the brave is the clue. ”
Shang Wen immediately reacted: "The best clue is the summoning magic used by Kingdom B, right?" ”
"Well, every country on the Black Continent has summoning magic that has been handed down from ancient times, and the effect is more or less different." The chief magician who presides over Kingdom A's Warrior Summoning Ritual has studied this very well, "Some countries will even summon forty or fifty Warriors in one go, although the possibility of repeating the summoning ritual cannot be ruled out, but I think it is more likely that the summoning magic array they inherited is a group summoning." ”
Shui Ming's face changed, and he asked eagerly: "Slow!" Forty or fifty brave men, all of them are high school students, right? ”
"High school students? According to the information from the intelligence department, it should be someone about the same age as Lord Shuiming...... Is this a high school student? The Chief Mage hesitated.
“…… No wonder! Shui Ming hung his head in frustration.
Shang Wen couldn't help but ask, "That, Bajian-san, are they people you know?" ”
"In the past year, there have been a number of cases of mass disappearances of high school students in China." Because he is in another world, Shui Ming has no intention of concealing it, "As a magician in Tokyo, I participated in the investigation of the disappearance of a high school in Tokyo last month, and there was magic left at the scene, but I couldn't find a specific clue, and now it seems that I have come to this world." ”
By the way, most cases where a single person is summoned away are treated as ordinary disappearances, and disappearances are not particularly surprising in country R, a country with a high suicide rate and the legalization of the HEI gang.
"Huh!? How I've never heard of anything like this! Shang Wen was surprised.
"There are special staff members to erase the memories of the people involved, and ordinary people naturally do not get the news." Shui Ming said as a matter of course, "...... Now it seems that the probability that all the brave men are from the earth is very high, which is good news. ”
"Good news?" Shang Wen didn't think this was a good thing.
The other party was just an otaku college student before, and he had no knowledge of magic, so Shui Ming could only explain more bluntly: "Since this world has some kind of connection with our world, our way home will be smoother." ”
"I am, I see." Shang Wen nodded.
Shui Ming groaned: "It seems that it is necessary to infiltrate Kingdom B to find their summoning magic array......"
"Need help?" Shang Wen couldn't help but say, thought for a while, and added, "After being expelled, I seem to have learned some skills again, which should be able to help a little." ”
"No, I probably know the level of the Black Continent, and I'll just be alone when I sneak into the action." Shui Ming doesn't need too many oil bottles, if he can, the chief magician wants her to go back, "I am going to investigate the summoning magic arrays of various countries now, and then I will go to the Red Continent to explore the mystery of magic, there will be no results in a few years, if you get items with research value or need help during the period, you can use the ...... of Kingdom A. No, I'm contacted by the Inbas Chamber of Commerce, which is based in the Red Continent. ”
He originally wanted to report the name of his friend, but he remembered Lyle's warning about the 'blackening of the brave', first, he was worried that Shangwen's blackening would hurt the brave, and second, he was worried that the blackening of the brave would hurt Shangwen, so he chose the safest way of communication.
The chief magician hurriedly said, "The intelligence department of our Kingdom A will be much faster and more convenient. ”
"Seeking the help of another group of kings and princesses?" Shang Wen rolled his eyes.
The chief magician said angrily, "Our King and Her Royal Highness are definitely not like Kingdom B. ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess I know, before she framed me, was also a warm and gentle woman." Shang Wen glanced coldly at the Chief Magician, and then bowed respectfully to Shui Ming, "...... I'll leave it to you if you go home, Shui Ming. ”
"No, I'm going back myself, there's no reason why I shouldn't take you back." Shui Ming stood up and went to open the door of the room, "It's just that you are really willing to give up your life here?" ”
"............" Shang Wen looked at the friends who were eavesdropping, silent.
Visitors from other worlds who are bound by 'people' are not the only ones in Shui Ming.

The appearance of Gulakias made Lyle question his research and development results for a while, but Gulakias soon revealed that his duty was to serve Lyle and use magic to turn the witch costume on his body into a maid suit, which made him feel that his results were correct.
In fact, if you want to prove right or wrong, you only need to try a few more times to see if you can summon a maid...... Until then, however, there are other issues worth discussing.
"As soon as we met, I said that I wanted to serve this maid, and sure enough...... Did you know him before? "The questioner is Luna, and Lena also defines her brother as a 'shameful maid control' in her heart, but she never dares to say it in front of him.
"That's right." Gulakias nodded.
Unlike the future maids who were summoned, she had never served Lyle, but she 'knew' Lyle.
"It's unfortunate, but I've been with him for a long time, and I haven't seen you." Luna said leisurely, "Sure enough, it's in another world, and that's the maid's previous life." ”
"Yes." Gulakias nodded again.
Lena interjected from the side: "Well, can't you say a few more words?" ”
"If the master orders it, I can know everything, but ......" Gulakias looked at Lyle, who had been circling around her since just now, she didn't know why the reincarnation god would arrange for the god to reincarnate as a mortal, but she also knew what she should do at this time, "I shouldn't ruin my master's life in this life recklessly." ”
"That's awesome~ Then there's no need to say those meaningless words!" Lyle's curiosity is high, but he is relieved of his past life.
“…… It has nothing to do with me anyway. Luna actually wanted to know her brother's origins, but she didn't insist on it.
On the contrary, it is Lina, who is trying to get Gulakias to secretly tell her the secret.
Lyle finally stopped to appreciate the maid's actions in all directions, and changed the subject: "By the way, please rest assured, the summoning time of my summoning technique only lasts for 24 hours, and it will not hinder your original life~"
"...... old life?" Gulakias muttered.
Lyle was puzzled and said, "Huh? It's just going back to the original world. ”
"My duty is to serve you, and there is no world to which I belong." Yes, since receiving the new order, the Ice Doll has been staying in the dimensional turbulence, waiting for another encounter with Lyle, and it was her luck to meet Lyle to summon magic.
Of course, her real good luck has already been received.
"Uh, or ...... Do you still say something 'meaningless'? The focus is on the self-introduction part. "The master who will never treat any worthy maid badly, right here.
