Chapter 61 (1/2)
Chapter 61: Summon Servant
After the agents who were dispatched from the Magician’s Society vanished into the portal, all of us were just left standing there in a daze.
Time pa.s.ses by without anyone saying a single word, after the last string of tension in Milly dissipates, she finally crumbled to the ground and that was when time started again.
I was startled back into action, and I immediately ran over to Milly and held her shoulders.
「Milly, I’m so sorry…..!」
「Fu……Fufun, I am the leader after all right? ♪ But……Ahaha………my waist…..gave out…… 」
When I looked closely, Milly legs were totally shaking and her body doesn’t have any strength in it. I was supposed to be the one taking action in this kind of scene, however when the two people over powered me with their domineering aura’s I couldn’t move at all.
In the past, whenever I encountered a mage from the magician’s society, they were all mostly underlings, even so, the ‘underlings’ were already frightening people with great strength, I did not expect that people with a star badge on them would be on a different plane altogether.
s.h.i.+t, I’m so pathetic….
「……Milly, you are amazing」
「Th……That’s not true! The reason I was able to try so hard is……because……Zeph is right beside me……..」
Milly was muttering unintelligibly as her face continued to become redder, she was trying to gloss over how deplorable and pathetic I was, and I could only embrace her even tighter.
「Wai…..Wait Zeph!?」
Milly was struggling around and I continued to hold her until her power of struggling weakened.
「Milly-chan!」
Lydia came towards us with a hard tackle as both Milly and I were thrown into the ground.
「Woah!」
「I’m sorry! Milly-chan, Zeph-kun! I’m sorry I couldn’t move….Even though I’m supposed to be the older sister…..I’m sorry……!」
「The agents of the Magician society…….I’ve heard about them from the rumors but it turns out they are incredible people. For you to be able to stand up to them, without flinching is……」
Claude also runs up to us, and she looked at Milly with eyes of respect and reverence.
「I….I’m telling you guys, I’m not that great!」
「I also lost in front of your bravery today」
「Mou~ Even Zeph…….You guys are making me blush…..」
I stood up. Milly was still being embraced by Lydia and she was covering her face in embarra.s.sment.
The fact is that amount of latent potential contained in Milly’s body far exceeds my own.
Perhaps the ma.s.sive amount of magical energy acted as a wall for her, and it prevented the two people from overpowering her with their overwhelming aura’s…..? No, saying this would just be an excuse on my part.
I just need to become even stronger. So much stronger that this will not ever happen again…
—-At Night.
Without speaking many words, we all returned to the town of Beruta.
Usually, we would be talking excitedly about our spoils of war for the day or the tough battles we fought, however, perhaps because everyone had a lot on their minds, today, we just returned to town as soon as possible.
「Then have a good night」
「Yeah」
「Have a good night, Zeph-kun」
I separated from the two girls after eating dinner, and after was.h.i.+ng the sweat off my body I quickly went to bed.
—-Late into the night.
Short Sleeping (This is the name I came up with) after taking a small power nap, I woke up feeling refreshed and casted scout scope on to myself.
Zeph Einstein
Level 40
「Red」Magical Value 32, Magical Limit 62

「Green」Magical Value 31, Magical Limit 99
「Sky」Magical Value 31, Magical Limit 89

The good thing is, the level of my Summon Servant Spell increased to level 1.
After continuously using Spirit magic for these past few days, the level of my White Crash and White Sphere has exceeded level 30, and finally I have become able to use this magic spell.
For the time being, I don’t want to just summon some weird living thing so suddenly in the middle of my room, so I decided to go out of town.
