2. What is this. Scary. (3)

#3 Their story: A certain pushover slave’s story

The final giant who once burned down an age of mythology.

The greatest archdevil who ruled over fire.

“Bored.”

It’s boring. Too boring!

Just how long do I have to sit on this throne for?

My waist is starting to hurt from how long I’ve been sitting here for.

And because of that, I always ponder.

As I am such an existence, could a human summon me?

What kind of contract rate is this pathetic? Isn’t this way unreasonable!

At this rate being a high-class devil is probably better.

Why are there no customers to make a contract!

I’m bored enough that if another 1000 years go by like this, I could even give them a free contract!

“Eh?”

I check my body.

Very good. The best condition. I could fight the gods right here right now.

Clear my voice.

Two seconds left.

I must not show on the outside that I was looking forward to this contract.

One second.

Finally, taking my signature pose, I lift my hand high.

Zero.

Bang!

Although I don’t show it on the outside, I gather my excitement and look at my summoner.

Youthful. No, young.

Very good. Let’s engrave may name with hers.

So that no one will fail to know her name and mine, in the name of fear and despair, I will engrave it in history!

But the contract takes priority!

“The price of your contract is naught but… Eh?”

Eh? What? My hand is hot?

While it goes without saying that a summoning circle should shine, the colour is weird.

I infused mana into my vision and looked down, and under the summoning circle, something was shining.

The master of the burning land Musphelheim, archdevil Surtr recognizes contractor [Ria el Nermia] as his master.
Pledging obedience to her and all of her commands, and not acting independently without word from the contractor, he swears to the world to lend his unlimited strength and talents with No. Compensation. Whatsoever.

Fuck. What the hell is this.

***

Whoa now, calm down. That’s all just a daydream, isn’t it?

When I was alive the trending genre was where the protag basically suffered a lot.

It cost quite a penny, but it’s nothing less but a contract with the world as witness.

A contract not even gods can do anything about, a contract with the creators’ authorities inscribed into it.

Of course, the expenses will be passed onto accounting later.

“This, this is a scam!”

Yep. It’s a scam.

And when I had the chance, I asked the devil.

-Why is there always green smoke whenever you’re summoned?

And the devil answered.

-Because this is how I respond to summons!

To get the precise details, I cooperated with one of my disciples and summoned a low-rank demon, when I politely asked him, he answered us.

There were three that seemed like they’d fall for the bait, and one of them was this Muspelheim’s master Surtr.

He actually appears as he slams his hand into the ground.

Anyways, the contracts between humans and devils, no, the majority of the contracts between humans and devils are verbal contracts.

With the person’s thumbprint?

I prepared a stone plate, and placed the Geass roll onto it. With No.17’s thumbprint fiiirmly stamped.

“This, this kind of contract!”

Heck I wasn’t even sure if such a ridiculous method would work.

But would you believe it everyone it actually worked!

He was strong enough to chew up Northern Europe’s last hope Frey and burn down the world!

“It looks like it’s gone well.”

And that place is called an evil organization!

And thus, I’ve become a hero that saved both my peace, and while I’m at it the world’s peace!

… Mother, Father, I’ve become a hero that saved the world!

#4 Their story: the story of the actual hero who would save the world.

That day was just another day where we all fought with our lives to eat.

…My departed mother.

This disgusting world.

TN: I had to read Invisible Dragon to make sure I translated some of the memes in this chapter right. Y’all better be grateful :P
