Chapter 20

"Even I'm not that good at spirit summoning..."

Saying that, Nene brought out a sword.

A longsword, a two-handed sword.

Just by looking at it, you could tell it was heavy.

It seemed Nene had returned home to fetch this sword.

"This sword was used by our ancestor."

"Really, we had something like this?"

Indeed, upon closer inspection, it was clear that it had been well-used.

However, it seemed to have been well-maintained, as the blade was still sharp.

"Spirit summoning is a magic that calls forth spirits. However, to summon a specific spirit, it's more effective to have a relic."

"Is that so?"

"In this case, this two-handed sword is the relic."

I wonder what kind of relic would be needed to summon a demon?

Incidentally, Closel and Ourobus were also listening to Nene nearby.

Both of them nodded in agreement, but I wonder if they really understood what was being said.

Of course, both were in a spirit form, so Nene couldn't see them.

"This sword was owned by our ancestor, Dalganna Eslund. It seems he achieved great feats on the battlefield with this sword."

We had such an ancestor.

I suddenly remembered that Father had once mentioned that the Eslund family has a long history.

"This time, we're summoning the spirit of Dalganna Eslund. Spirit summoning depends a lot on the compatibility between the caster and the spirit, but since we're related, I don't think there will be any issues."

As she spoke, Nene flipped through the pages of a magic book.

It was probably a book about spirit summoning.

"Spirit summoning is difficult to control. If you take in the entire spirit, there's a risk of the spirit taking over your body. On the other hand, if you take in only a little, the effect is weak."

As she spoke, Nene drew a magic circle on a piece of paper, relying on the magic book.

She seemed very experienced, as she worked very efficiently.

Then, Nene placed the two-handed sword on the magic circle and closed her eyes.

"---I command you, in the name of Nene, to swiftly inhabit my body. Fulfill me with your knowledge and power. Fulfill all my wishes within the limits of your authority. Come forth—Dalganna Eslund."

After finishing the incantation, Nene opened her eyes and said,

"It worked."

At first glance, it wasn't clear what had changed.

But it felt like a fighting spirit had taken residence in Nene's eyes.

"What changed?"

"Well, I feel a surge of power, and sword techniques I've never learned are now in my head."

Saying that, Nene, who usually had difficulty even holding the sword with both hands, lifted it easily with one hand.

She then swung the sword.

Not just any swing, but one that seemed to follow the forms of swordsmanship.

Even to a layman, it was clear that her foot movements and eye movements were those of a top-notch swordsman.

"Like this."

"Wow!"

I couldn't help but applaud.

Closel and Ourobus were also clapping on the side.

"Well, how about it, big brother? Can you do it?"

"I'll give it a try."

I answered.
