We enter a dark room only illuminated by the blue light of the summoning circle.
me, my women, Lara, Orsted, Peragius and his two closest light spirits, and Ileana
We were all gathered in this room.
Unfortunately, Alek is not here but he has an equally important mission.
we are gathered around the enormous circle of invocation
It is different from the ones Nanahoshi experienced in our days at the university and is larger than the ones in the Gardenia kingdom.
Sylphie and Roxy looked curious. Orsted doesn't care about everything, and Peragius checks the summoning circle for imperfections.
I looked at Nanahoshi and she was tense...just like me...
or maybe more than me...well, I don't blame her, we are about to summon her ex-boyfriend into this world and the last thing that ex-boyfriend will remember is having a silly argument with his girlfriend who is now my fiancée.
I won't stop him if he wants information from Nana, but I won't let him get too smart and try to seduce her...
"I must say... I have never seen a design of this type..." Peragius murmured, looking at the summoning circle and then at me.
"Yes...but you know I didn't design it, right?" I answered with a smile and looked at Ileana who was now with Sylphie and Roxy.
-Yes...it is extremely surprising...- Peragius murmured and then stood up, stopping checking the summoning circle.
"Very well, it's time," Peragius declared.
Nanahoshi clenched her fists instinctively and stood between Sylphie and Roxy slightly behind them as if seeking protection.
Sylphie looked at me with a smile and winked.
I looked at Nana, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded at me.
Roxy on the other hand was with Ileana in her arms.
Ileana looked anxious as if she was waiting for something specific.
Lara on the other hand just looked excited about who could be summoned.
-The design of the summoning circle that you brought had certain difficulties...- Peragius murmured.
-Remove a condition and in its place, a mana source equivalent to Laplace's will be needed for it to be activated- Peragius announced and although he didn't even look at me directly, the others did.
"You just had to tell me to activate it, it was easier that way..." I said grumbling as I approached the circle and got on my knees.
-The amount of Mana needed will leave you almost dry but Orsted brought a Mana potion, fortunately- Peragius said while looking at Orsted
He just nodded and stood next to my wives.
"Very well, let's start..." I murmured while putting my hand in a corner of the summoning circle.
I started pouring mana into the magic circle and it started to shine brighter.
The lines drawn began to illuminate with a light that ran through them as if it were water.
I knew from my experience with Nanahoshi's circles that I should not cut off the mana supply until the entire drawing lit up.
The big difference here is that I'm already feeling an enormous amount of mana being drained from my body.
-fuuu.....this circle demands a lot heh- I murmured while I felt beads of sweat forming on my forehead.
When half of the circle was illuminated I began to feel tired as if I had run a long distance.
My muscles were starting to hurt and my throat felt dry.
"Rudy...are you okay?" Sylphie asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, dear, nothing's wrong," I replied with a smile.
When 70% of the circle was illuminated I was already feeling quite tired, I started to feel cramps in my arms and legs.
My head was spinning and I supported myself with both hands in the circle so as not to fall.
I could notice how everyone was looking at me with worried expressions and Ileana looked incredibly anxious.
When 90% of the circle was illuminated, a blinding light began to emit from this
My head was spinning, I felt quite weak and my ears were ringing.
When the entire circle was illuminated the blinding light became greater, even with my eyes closed I still felt the pain of the blinding light.
[Chūibukai! ! ! !]- be careful!!-
A scream in Japanese was heard in the middle of the circle.
which became a gasp
The blinding light flashed, although it took a moment for my eyes to recover.
"Shit..." I muttered.
This circle drained 80% of my mana reserve... or so I think
-eh?...- a male voice came out of nowhere or rather from the boy who was in front of all of us.
black hair, high school uniform, slanted eyes, slender and 1.70 meters tall
the spitting image of the average Japanese although slightly taller
There he was in front of all of us with a look of shock and at the same time confusion.
I stood up weakly from the ground and motioned to Orsted for the mana potion.
He wasn't looking at me, no one in the room was actually paying attention to me.
I obviously knew where everyone was looking but I didn't care because of how weak I felt.
I quickly took the mana potion and immediately felt how all my strength returned to me so I turned to look at the guy in front of me.
"Nanahoshi, is that him?" Peragius asked.
"Nanahoshi chan?" Akihito murmured as he searched the room.
"Yes...it's him..." Nanahoshi murmured, coming out from behind Sylphie and Roxy and standing next to me.
"Very well, then it's a success," Peragius said with a smile as he looked at me.
Akihito looked at us all completely bewildered but when he noticed Nanahoshi he visibly relaxed but something seemed to have clicked in his head.
-[b-but...we were on the street and that truck came right towards us....]-Akihito muttered, totally bewildered.
He continued to look at Nanahoshi and started walking towards her.
She visibly tensed and took a step back, approaching me.
Poor Akihito Lucio was more bewildered than before and looked at me with doubt and confusion.
[-W-who are you guys?!, How did I end up here?!, Was I in a coma or something?!]- Akihito demanded, totally bewildered, and looked at Nanahoshi with a pleading expression.
-[Nanahoshi chan...what's going on here? Where are we?!]- Akihito asked totally desperate
-[Shino.....let me explain everything to you]- Nanahoshi muttered as she approached him
-Could you please leave us alone for a few moments? - Nanahoshi asked
Akihito looked at her with doubt and curiosity.
-[What language is that?...]- Akihito muttered while looking at Nanahoshi with doubt
We all agreed to Nana's request and left the room so she could explain everything that had happened.We were leaving the room one by one but Akihito opened his eyes wide when he saw Sylphie
-[Nanahoshi chan...you saw...that woman has pointy ears!!]- Akihito said to Nana in panic
Nana just smiled weakly and looked at him with pity.
-[Let me explain everything to you Shino]- she replied
The poor guy looked like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and it got even worse when he saw Sylvaril and her angel wings.
Before he could say anything else we all left and closed the door leaving only Nana and Akihito there.
I looked at everyone and they had curious expressions as they looked at me.
Lara also looked visibly excited, Orsted didn't flinch but had a slight smile on his face.
-Rudy...that language...what did you and Nana call it?...- Sylphie asked doubtfully.
-Japanese, it's the Japanese language dear, the guy looks very puzzled if you ask- I answered Sylphie with a smile
-That boy Akihito...he seemed to know Nanahoshi...what was his relationship with her?- Roxy asked while looking at me
I noticed how all eyes were on me so I had to force myself to respond.
-That boy....was Nana's boyfriend before she was summoned here- I answered
I could see how everyone except Orsted and Peragius made faces of astonishment and looked at the room.
For some reason I saw that Ileana looked in total shock at this statement.
-I see...that's why you were so worried dad- Lara suddenly murmured
I didn't answer him and just looked at the ground in shame.
Sylphie and Roxy let out sighs as if they had heard or seen something stupid.
-If you're worried about Akihito stealing Miss Nanahoshi from you, you should talk to her about it, right?- Sylphie said with a smirk.
-We've already done it but...even so...it's like a latent pain that I have in my chest...I don't know how to explain it to you- I murmured
-You're just jealous Rudy...- Roxy said with a small smile Which caused laughter from Sylphie and Lara
-It could said that- I murmured with a small smile.
-Still, you should know that both Nanahoshi and us we love you Rudy- Sylphie said seriously and Roxy nodded
I smiled at this and hugged them.
-Thanks girls- I said while kissing them both on the forehead.
We waited for about 5 minutes and Nanahoshi still didn't come out
-He's really taking his time, isn't he? - Peragius grumbled.
-It's not something that can be assimilated so easily- Orsted answered him.
-tch!...I already know that...- Peragius replied clicking his tongue
I looked at the others and they all had anxious expressions as if they wanted to know what was going on.
-Mr. Rudeus! Mr. Orsted, you've returned!- Alek's voice was heard from behind us.
-Hello, how did it go?- I replied.
-I exposed Bruce's crimes and it was left to Gardenia's jurisdiction- Alek responded, his gaze rotating between me, Orsted and Lara.
-Okay, we've already summoned the other person, Nanahoshi is talking to him right now
-I see...- Alek muttered as he stood behind Lara
She looked at him as she hugged him embarrassedly
They looked like a couple of young teenagers in love which was more embarrassing than cute so I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose and try to focus my attention on something else.
I looked at Ileana and she had an anxious expression and looked eager to enter the room.
-Is something wrong?- I asked her as I knelt in front of her.
-n-nothing...I'm just interested in seeing that man from another world- Ileana answered nervously
Well...it's good that she has those childlike instincts to want to discover some things.
That's a good sign...
-[How am I supposed to believe such nonsense?!!]- Akihito's voice echoed through us
Without waiting a second we entered the room at full speed and...
