Chapter 41 Follow the great Fourth Crown Proclamation

　　Sure enough, I'm still hungry.

　　Put your slippers on with your legs down.

　　Gotta get something to eat.

　　Standing up, he walked to the door.

　　Carefully, he opened the door to the room.

　　Squeak~

　　The wooden door made a small sound.

　　The petite body immediately stiffened.

　　Probe looked downstairs.

　　The building is dark.

　　Only the vague light of the moon dispelled the darkness in places.

　　It was still for almost a minute.

　　There's no sound.

　　It looks like Auntie is sound asleep.

　　Didn't hear that just now.

　　Side-step carefully out of the room.

　　Relying on impressions from memory touching the walls to move forward.

　　Walk to the attic landing and hold the stairs down.

　　The first floor had some fluorescent stones so it wasn't so dark and you could see the general environment.

　　Slow down and walk to the kitchen.

　　The kitchen is a large cooktop plus a large cupboard.

　　The food and ingredients Auntie are in the enlarged cupboard.

　　Step forward to the large cupboard.

　　Sniff, sniff, sniff.

　　The small nose shrugged.

　　There's the aroma of food.

　　Sight to the second compartment of cabinet doors.

　　The aroma was emanating from this cabinet door.

　　Reach out with your little hand and pull open the cabinet door.

　　A large yellow meaty leg came into view.

　　It was strewn with knife cuts, which my aunt's family had eaten last night.

　　Leah: (¯¯ hosting)

　　The eyes stared straight at the meaty legs and were hard to move away.

　　Gulp~

　　A hard swallow.

　　Want to try?

　　But if my aunt finds out she'll be beaten for sure.

　　That's a lot of meat if you eat a little bit of it with that many cut marks.

　　It should be undetectable.

　　So... Just eat a little bit.

　　Convinced in her mind Leah held out her small hand.

　　Tear off a small piece of meat from the leg and put it in your mouth.

　　Eyes immediately narrowed.

　　Is that what meat tastes like!

　　Smells good~!

　　Good times.

　　The right hand was extended again.

　　Pah~

　　A left hand knocks out a right hand.

　　Leah realized in her mind that she couldn't eat any more.

　　Once again it will be easy to spot.

　　Eyes lingered on the big meaty leg.

　　It wasn't until the cabinet door was completely closed that Leah withdrew her gaze.

　　Reach down and open the third compartment cabinet door.

　　The third compartment cabinet door opened.

　　It's double layered on the inside.

　　On top of that was white bread sitting on a plate.

　　The bottom compartment is a random pile of brown bread.

　　Reaching out, she pulled out two pieces of black bread, as for the white bread on top Leah didn't look at it much.

　　Close the cabinet door.

　　Step carefully up the stairs.

　　The walkway in the attic is dark.

　　Wrap the two loaves of bread in one hand.

　　The right hand held onto the attic wall a little bit to help advance.

　　Squeak~

　　Hearing the noise Leah knew it was her room arriving.

　　A few fumbles.

　　Until he fumbled for the bolt.

　　Gently push open the door to the room.

　　It wasn't until after pushing out a gap that she could sidle through that Leah sidled into the room.

　　Close the door to the room back up.

　　Just sitting down Leah couldn't wait to eat.

　　She's so hungry.

　　....

　　Early the next morning.

　　Walk downstairs.

　　The living room was quiet.

　　Eyes skimmed sheepishly over his aunt's room.

　　The door to the room there was closed.

　　Looks like Auntie's not awake yet.

　　Think about what you did yesterday.

　　Leah's heart was then weak.

　　Auntie, she won't find out, will she?

　　The heart felt apprehensive.

　　In the midst of restlessness and nagging Leah finished her morning's work.

　　Back to the house.

　　Still no sign of my aunt.

　　But there was an extra piece of black bread on the table.

　　Sight to the door of his aunt's room.

　　The door there was still closed.

　　Looks like Auntie has been up for a trip.

　　Look at the brown bread on the table.

　　Auntie didn't notice!

　　The restlessness that had been repressed in his heart slackened in this moment.

　　Instantly felt much more relaxed.

　　Reaching for the brown bread on the table, Leah walked out the door.

　　Time to go to class.

　　Mentor Erin said yesterday that today's class would be on the school grounds.

　　Make a second call.

　　Unlike the first summoning, this one was a contract summoning.

　　Summoned beasts can be directly contracted.

　　I wonder what I can summon this time.

　　An anticipation rose in Leah's mind.

　　The roads are hard to follow because of the snow.

　　Still late today unsurprisingly.

　　And it's a lot late.

　　Step through the gates of the Academy.

　　It was as if another world was within the gates of the academy.

　　Outside the iron gates are covered in thick snow.

　　Inside the iron gate, however, there was not the slightest trace of snow to be seen.

　　It's amazing.

　　Entering the academy Leah immediately took flight.

　　Run to the bamboo forest in the back of the hill.

　　The same students are already interacting with the summoners.

　　The graphics don't look too friendly.

　　"Pah~!"

　　The long golden whip in the hand of the girl in the long black veil dress fiercely lashed out at the summoned beast.

　　"Woo~"

　　The wolf-shaped magical beast with long green hair and a divine appearance let out a painful and sorrowful cry.

　　The green pupils were dead set on its summoner.

　　Being stared at like that by his own summoned beast.

　　Bertha frowned in displeasure.

　　One adds so many materials only to summon something that's just a beginner even.

　　How dare you disobey your master!

　　A single Thule scale in the district!

　　What a death wish!

　　The long whip in his hand was raised, and a faint golden glow blossomed on the golden long whip, and the next second the golden glow was transforming into a residual shadow.

　　"Pah~!"

　　"Woo~"

　　With a mournful cry, Shuri Scale was heavily jerked away.

　　Hearing the sound of movement, Erin skimmed.

　　It's Bertha.

　　It seems she wasn't happy with the Thule scale.

　　Irene had no thoughts of stopping Bertha's behavior.

　　It's the students' choice how to spend time with their summoned animals.

　　One can choose to live in peace or go servile.

　　Obviously, Kashiwa chose to enslave.

　　A path that most summoners choose.

　　Hmm?

　　Footsteps.

　　Looks like it's Leah.

　　Turning to look toward the bamboo trail.

　　A petite figure was running towards the bamboo forest.

　　Running to a stop in front of Mentor Erin.

　　"I'm sorry~ Mentor Erin I'm late again"

　　The sound of a sincere apology.

　　Staring at those pupils full of sincerity.

　　Erin narrowed her eyes slightly.

　　This little guy, it looks like he should have run all the way here.

　　But...

　　She actually didn't take any breaths.

　　It didn't used to be like this.

　　Is it contractual feedback?

　　"Hmm~"

　　Erin nodded opening her mouth to continue.

　　"Go ahead and summon it~"

　　"Yes~ Mentor Erin."

　　Responding, Leah walked towards the summoning array.

　　There was only one last unused summoning formation left in the clearing.

　　There's no need to pick at all.

　　Seeing Leah coming.

　　The ten students stopped moving at the same time and dismissed the contracted summons.

　　They were also curious to see what kind of a magical beast this lucky girl could summon.

　　Looking at the half-crawled Shuri Dirt on the ground.

　　A flash of scorn flashed through the bright pupils like black gems.

　　Cut off the magic straight away.

　　The struggling Shuriken figure on the ground lit up with a blue magic formation.

　　The next second Shuri Scale directly disappeared in place, and the magic formation dissipated as a result.

　　Dismissed the summoned beasts.

　　Bertha also turned her gaze to the small figure that had stepped up to the summoning spell.

　　The summoning spell was already set up.

　　Can be used directly.

　　Of course, you can also add items that contain magic as you see fit.

　　Leah definitely didn't have anything to add.

　　So straight up summoning.

　　Close your eyes.

　　Orange magic solidified in the air then surged into the spell.

　　The magic formation under Leah's feet bloomed with an orange light.

　　[Follows the great Fourth Crown proclamation]

　　[Name of the person, Leah, is here to offer you a dedication.]

　　[Follows the great Fourth Crown proclamation]

　　"Please respond to me.

　　The magic crystals piled up on the magic array began to disappear.

　　This means the summoning was successful.

　　So what's it gonna be?

　　A look of anticipation appeared in the eyes of both Erin and the ten students.
