Black Summoner (黒の召喚士)

Do you believe people can be reincarnated

and have a completely new life?

Don't ask me to explain why or how.

But 'cause some god went and screwed up,

it's happening to me.

So here I am, getting a fresh start in a brand-new world.

Oh, yeah.

I also saw the Goddess of Reincarnation,

and between us, she is super hot.

But here's the part that sucks.

I'm gonna to lose my memories of her.

Even now, I can't remember her face.

I did think hard

about what skills I wanted to start with, though!

And all it cost me was my old life and every memory I had.

Pretty fair trade, huh?

Anyway, do me a favor and have as much fun as you can

in your new world for me.

It's all up to you, Kelvin!

What is this place?

Huh?

"Welcome to another world"?

Huh? Another world?

What's that supposed to mean?

Congratulations!

I'm thrilled to welcome you, my lord!

Through a process of completely random selection,

you were chosen to be reincarnated into another world!

You may have noticed

that you have no memory of your previous existence

but rest assured, the old you agreed to this

of his own free will!

So everything's fine!

Huh? Reincarnated? You're joking!

Crap! She's right.

I can't remember!

Who was I before now?

Gah, whoever I was,

how could I let something this stupid happen to me?

Your new home is a fantasy world

full of clashing blades and mages flinging magic!

And I'm glad to report that the skills you chose

prior to your awakening have already been granted to you!

For further details, please have a look at the status screen.

Whoa.

I picked a supporting type, huh?

And I get a big stat boost when I level up.

Judging by this,

I must've been a hardcore gamer in my past life.

You know, I was scared, but now I'm pretty excited.

I take it back, old me.

I was too hard on you.

So, I'm a summoner.

Hell yeah.

Now then, why not start off your journey

on the right foot by traveling to a nearby town!

Once you've arrived, you should be able to find a guild

where you can register as an adventurer.

Right. There's no point in standing around here.

I'm off! Time to check out the town!

And away we go!

You kinda seem like an actual person.

So tell me, are you gonna come along, too?

I suppose you don't remember me.

Here, take a look at this!

Hmm?

I have to say, before you,

no one else has ever asked the Goddess of Reincarnation,

to become their follower!

It took me aback at first, but I kind of liked it.

What the heck, previous me?

Were you out of your mind?

And since you mentioned it,

the reason we can talk is because summoners

are able to communicate with their servants.

Here's what I know:

I died in some kind of accident.

From what I've gathered,

it was because some god other than Melfina

made a stupid mistake.

So, that god went to Melfina

and asked if she would reincarnate me--

since that's kind of her whole thing.

Apparently, I professed my love on the spot.

Well, that's what she says, anyway.

But all I know about her now is what her voice sounds like.

As soon as you finished choosing your skills--

you asked me to make a contract.

"I'm in love with you!"

"Come with me!"

Ah, you spent a whole hour shouting sweet things like that!

I've been at my job for a few centuries now

and between the two of us,

it was getting a little tiresome.

So as soon as you offered, of course I agreed!

I thought of it as a little vacation.

Even gods need a break!

Now, before you go worrying,

I've left my employees in charge,

so everything will be fine.

Would you believe me

if I said I haven't taken time off in decades?

It's time for some well-deserved rest!

Stop treating my reincarnation

like some kinda party!

And gimme my memories back!

Actually, you were the one who said

you wanted to forget everything about your previous life.

You said you needed more skill points,

so you surrendered your past in exchange.

Nobody forced you to.

Why would I say that to someone I was in love with?

And besides, without my memories,

how can I still feel that way about you?

I recall you saying,

"I don't need to remember because I'll fall in love

with you all over again!"

You sounded so passionate and sincere

that I simply couldn't argue with you!

Hubba-hubba!

Congratulations!

My affection has increased!

Ohh... Why do I feel like you're teasing me?

It's not fair.

I'm getting embarrassed about something

I don't even remember doing!

That was intense.

But if what she says is true,

then she must've been my type at some point, at least.

Makes me curious.

Now I really want to find out what Melfina looks like!

So, you and I made a contract, right?

Does that mean I can summon you whenever I want?

I'm afraid you'll have to wait.

The amount of MP you'll need for that

is far beyond your current stats.

Till then, I look forward to seeing you grow

and hearing more of your love confessions.

I don't know about that last part.

We're almost at the guild, my lord!

It's just ahead on the right!

I figured it'd be impressive, but this?

Kind of imposing, honestly!

I wonder if the inside is as sweet as the exterior.

What brings you in here today, dear adventurer?

I'd like to issue a request for a job.

Nice to see you again!

Great work finishing your latest quest.

Here you are--the reward for your courageous efforts!

Next in line!

Hello, good sir!

I'm here to assist you with anything you need today.

I'd like to sign up to be an adventurer.

So, registration, then?

I can help you with that.

Let's see here.

These are all the forms that you're required to fill out!

Do you need someone to write for you?

I'm fine, thanks.

When I was reincarnated,

I was given the skills "Understand Language"

and "Literacy."

Wait a moment!

Under your class listing, you wrote Summoner.

Are you sure that's what you intended?

Is that bad or something?

Summoner is an ultra-rare job

and in this world,

typically there's only one per nation.

If anyone finds out what your class is,

you might draw some unwanted attention.

I know for a fact that the nation's rulers

would quickly take an interest in you.

Understood.

I want to avoid that.

Okay.

I'll just say that my class is "Green Mage" instead.

Thank you very much, "Kelvin."

Wait here for a moment.

I was lucky to end up in a fantasy world,

but I don't want to throw away my freedom.

Better keep that summoner thing a secret.

Thank you for your patience!

Here's your guild membership card.

You just registered with us today, so, as you can see,

you'll be starting off as an F-rank adventurer.

Here at the guild we get jobs of varying complexity

from all over.

Then we divide them up into different ranks

according to which adventurers can take them.

So right now, since I'm F-rank, the only jobs that I'm allowed

to accept are the F-rank ones, huh?

Actually, you can take up to one rank above your own.

Although, if you end up failing the job,

you'll be charged a contract penalty,

so choose them carefully.

Mm-hmm.

It wouldn't be smart to go around

taking any high-ranking jobs that I find.

Once you successfully complete ten in a row,
