Chapter 2. Uhh… Mm… What’s that? Scary…

2.5 Their Story

[2]Nermia El Ria: …What the…

I moved to the summoning circle prepared by the instructor.

Honestly

I’m a bit scared. Demon… Can I summon something that gets rarely summoned even in the empire? Me, a child who’s a little older than 10 years old?

There were all kinds of thoughts in my head, but… there was still no contact from the family. I’ve been trying to search rumors, but I got nothing.

And… I was unable to disobey the instructor. If that accursed club appeared again…

Gulp.

When I threw out the thought about the club with a s.h.i.+ver, I was able to see my surroundings. In the forest, there was a blood-red magic circle drawn on a wooden floor. And the instructor… lifted the floor?

“W, what is this?”

There was a stone plate beneath the floor. And there was an ancient incantation written on it. The instructor did not even glance at me as he responded.

“As I said before, selling your soul is a total scam.”

“Right…”

Just where was he going with this? The instructor soon answered that with a shocking response.

“That would mean scams are possible when it comes to contracts… if I were to put it simply, us humans can scam demons as well.”

“N, no way.”

That was impossible. Demons and the demon race don’t get cla.s.sified differently for nothing. Demons are beings that rival G.o.ds. It would be impossible to fool them.

“Right, it seems impossible. There’s no way to scam a demon. At least, there’s no way to scam them by ourselves.”

“What do you mean?”

“We do not scam them. The demon will scam itself for us.”

I was only able to realize what that meant later.
