◆Summoned Youth, Kuroki

I was surrounded by a group of monsters when I opened my eyes.

To be honest I don’t even know why and how this happened.

I was asleep, on the floor of a great hall with glowing letters written in a circle formation.

And then, these monsters were surrounding me, who just woke up, from all sides.

One with dog’s face, one with bird-like shape, one with tentacles, one with just big eyes, though a minority of them are shaped like humans,most looked from from human.

Should I scream out of extreme fear at this point？

But if I do, I won’t understand why this happened, I need to resolve it myself.

Could it be that I’m unable to think due to this extremely unlikely scenario ？

It seems the monsters don’t want to approach me and are just surrounding me from the distance.

They’re only looking at me from where they’re standing.

As expected, in the current situation, I’ll definitely scream if they close distance between us.

But, I regained a bit of my composure as they’re not any closer.

Where might this place be？

My memories before coming to this place, they are quite blurry right now.

One thing’s for sure at least, I’m not in my own room back in Japan.

Why am I in this place?

This could be a dream…………

But, I know that this is not a dream as I can clearly feel the sensation of the cold floor.

If this is not a dream, what kind of place is this, Hell？

If that was so, I’m already dead, right.

There are way too many things flying around inside of my brain.

「How wonderful , our savior has arrived！！ 」

A voice suddenly come from the platform diagonally overhead.

Savior？ Is he talking about Me？

Those words are obviously about me.

I quickly turned towards the direction of the voice. In my surroundings, which is surrounded by monster, there’s a crevice in the middle in which there are no monsters.

I can feel that there’s something inside that darkness.

After straining my eyes to look at that place, there was a big monster .

Why could I see it clearly despite such darkness around me?

That monster is clearly different from the rest of the monsters surrounding me, as even I can feel its mighty power.

Its form is similar to that of a huge pig standing with both of it’s rear legs[bipedal]. It has tusks coming out from its lower mouth and a big horn on its head. Its nose was blowing what looked like black flames from its nostrils.

It wore a jet-black robe without even trying to hide its violent presence.

This huge monster is approaching towards my direction.

It then bowed it’s head in front of me.

「Our name is Modes. The one who’s called as demon king. And then, the one who’s ruling this land called Nargol. May I hear your name, savior-dono？」

The monster who is calling himself as the demon king brought his face closer to my own.

「Ah……………………. Yes, It’s Kuroki…………………. Yukisaki…………… Kuroki」

I unintentionally answered honestly due to the vigor of the demon king.

。

「Ooh, so you’re called Kuroki-dono huh！ ！ Please Kuroki-dono！ Please save this Modes」

(PR: I don’t think このモデス means “this Modes” even tho “この” means this, instead it probably means something like “humble Modes”)

Modes is again bowing his head towards me.

The big monster, who seemingly can easily kill me, is bowing his head for me.

This is becoming harder and harder to understand.

「Uhm, I’m sorry………….. I don’t understand what do you mean……………. Why do I have to save you？」

I asked timidly.

「Ooh. You’re right……………… You won’t be able to understand even if I’m asking you to save us after suddenly being summoned」

Modes is raising his face and begins his explanation with a slightly warped face.

「The truth is, currently, this Nargol which is governed by this Modes is facing an invasion」

「Invasion？」

「Yes, invasion. It’s because of the hero who was summoned from the spirit world by the goddess of Elios, Rena…………… She’s not satisfied with just banishing me from the land of Elios, she even wants to snatch my treasure……..」

Modes is saying that with sad expression.

And then, an eerie smile appears on his face as he looks at me again.

「I want to make a request to Kuroki-dono to fight and defeat that hero」

Hero he says…………… It’s a word which I’ve never heard of except in games and manga.

「Hero…………..」
