CH 51.3

The instructor shook his head, and Aquaria did not pursue the matter further.

Terrified, the instructor slumped down into a kneeling position on the floor, as if he had been released from some shackles. His eyes were slightly teary.

Catalana understood that Aquaria’s anger at the instructor’s comment was understandable. It was not easy to become a master, as recognized by a high-ranking Spirit.

That was because, in terms of the adventurer’s rank, they had to harbor qualities of at least Rank 1 or higher.

“Well, Kuufa-san’s summoning is successful. Next is Litty-san, right?”

“Oh, yes. Yes.”

Seira clapped her hands to break the tense atmosphere, and Litty, too, was so distracted by Aquaria’s impact that she had forgotten about it.

“What is that? Is there going to be another summon?” (Aquaria)

“Yes, Aquaria-san, it’s a Summoned Beast mentioned in this book.”

“What is it?”

The Summoned Beast was a strange-looking Beast that made Aquaria, who had come up to Litty to take a peek at the image of the beast, look aghast. The instructors were against Litty summoning this beast until the very end, but Litty’s will was firm.

The low difficulty of the summoning, coupled with the fact that the summoning was not as tense as when Aquaria was summoned, made Litty decide to proceed with the summoning process.

“Then let’s begin…”

Litty started the summoning process in the same manner as Kuufa. When she finished chanting without making a single mistake, orange fireflies were released from the magic circle.

Soon, with the light emitting from the center of the magic circle, Litty shouted its name.

“Phantom Beast Myan!”

The flashy performance ended, and there it stood in the magic circle.

“…Myan!”

“It, it succeeded!”

Litty was the only one who was excited about the success. The event itself was simply devoid of any excitement because of its simplicity.

The eyes of the creature were round and weasel-like in appearance. Its torso was unusually long. The arms and legs attached to the front and back were short and, depending on how you looked at them, it was looking awkward.

“I am your Master. Do you understand?”

“Myan!”

Phantom Beast Myan rushed to Litty with her long body wriggling, and when Litty took her in her arms, Myan rubbed her head against Litty.

Everyone thought, “She looks like a pet”.

“What about the contract?”

“Mya~n!”

“I see. I understand.”

“No, wait, can you communicate with that… thing?”

Catalana was the first one to react, and even though she had made it to the top of the Ranks, there were still things she didn’t understand. That was exactly one of the things she could not understand was happening at this moment.

“Then your name is Myan.”

“Myan!”

“No, wait, that’s like naming a cat ‘Cat’.”

Phantom Beast Myan, a lowly member of the Phantom Beast family, but one whose abilities were what Litty wanted most. It’s the deal everyone was worried about, but Catalana, Seira, and the instructors had other things on their mind.

From the start, communication was Litty’s main concern. But when she confirmed that she could somehow communicate with Myan, she simply thought that everything was now OK, without really knowing how hard it was for a summoner to understand their summon unless they could speak.
