Chapter 1: Events of a certain summer
Having the long, long test period ended, the students at Seiran Academy welcomed the summer holidays.
Highschool sophomores & summer holidays.
Has there ever been another more exciting combination?
My classmate Youhei said so. Something like that this is the season when chances are the highest for boys and girls on their teens to have their first experience.
Now that he said it, I have to agree.
Currently, we are highschool sophomores.
Next year we’ll end in the front lines preparing for the entrance exams.
Come to that… There’s no way we’ll have time for something like romance.
For this reason… Isn’t being a highschool sophomore a chance in several ways?
So that our hearts when preparing for the exams, like a last-minute proposal for rising taxes, get set free.
Life is short.
Us male highschool students cannot but dearly treasure this one last chance given by the gods.
That’s why…
“How can it be…”
Though one week has passed since the start of summer vacation, honestly, until now, I’ve only spent unproductive time home alone.
… That’s natural.
My lodger Zonmi is weak against heat, so she absolutely can’t go out.
My best friend Youhei, having disturbed the firework show at the recent summer festival, has been put into house arrest by the school.
Having had both my two top choices of people to hang along with shut off, I can’t but be dragged into the lifestyle of a NEET.
“… Well, what do I do today?”
Since no matter how much I worry there’s no way out, let’s totally change my mindset.
While sprawled over my bed, when I stretched my limbs with a ‘mmm’, and idea flashed through my mind.
Ring.
Before my eyes I have my second Contract Ring I got just the other day shining with a silvery color.
Some days ago, after Zonmi the ghoul, I sealed a contract with Kyouko the Nephilim.
Why don’t I try it?… Summon.
Come the time I have to use her as a battle partner, though I’ve seen it a ciuple of times, I’ve never experienced it myself. Monster tamers have the possibility to call forth their contracted partner any time they like.
Yosh, it’s decided. Let’s summon her.
I-it’s not like I’ll call Kyouko to have someone to talk with to kill the excess free time… Now that I think of it, do I have any other choice?
Better safe than sorry.
That said, since it can be that things don’t go smoothly when I have to use it, I must practice now that I have the time.
“Summon—Nephilim.”
Readying myself, I loudly shouted towards the ring.
Thereupon, the ring emitted a dazzling light that covered the inside of the room.
Ooh… It seems it worked somehow.
Soon, from inside the light emerged a familiar silhouette.
“…”
“…”
Suddenly.
An uncomfortable silence settled on the surroundings, as if time had stopped.
No wonder I became as stiff as if had been put under a stone spell[1].
The summoned Kyouko, seemingly being completely immersed in her personal time, was in a state where she wore nothing but her undies.
… Could she have been reading on top of her bed?
On Kyouko’s hands where the opened pages of a fashion magazine.
