Black Summoner (2022) s01e04 Episode Script
Demon
1
A month's passed since I had Efil join me.
Dark
Purple
Forest
We spent it leveling up and doing jobs.
Efil used all her points
on Archery and Far Seeing,
and learned Sewing when she leveled up.
The maid outfit she's wearing
now is her third creation,
which she resewed and enhanced many
times to make it useful for combat.
I took a blacksmithing skill, too.
I'm still practicing, though.
Gerard, get back!
Blaze Arrow!
The combination of her high-level
archery skill, red magic,
and Fire Dragon King's Grace gave
her that original technique.
I'm amazed you can fight like
that dressed as a maid.
Black Summoner
Black Summoner
Wicked Sagetree kill confirmed!
Another successful job!
That makes nine in a row!
One more job, and you can
take the rank-up exam!
You'll be Rank A soon, Master!
And you just became Rank C,
but soon you'll be Rank B!
But
I felt bad for your opponent in
the mock battle during the last exam.
Efil
Efil's Rank C Exam
Examiner
Her arrow scored a clean
hit on the examiner's head
Here I go!
Skill "Stealth" Activates
just a second or two
after the fight started.
He was so wide-open I thought
it was some kind of test!
Urd, the examiner, is a veteran
with a lot of experience.
You two are just really strong!
Oh, Efil! There's a new sweets
place that just opened.
Want to come with?
Yes, I'd love to.
Really? Great!
It's a promise.
Okay!
You switched straight from
professional to personal mode
You'll go, too, won't you, Master?
I'm going, too?
Yes, if you can
Kelvin, you're not going to turn down a
girl who's asking you like that, are you?
Got it.
I'll go with you tomorrow, if that's okay.
Great!
Ange, do your work.
It's almost like a date
No, it is a date!
To a sweets shop, too!
If Melfina was here,
she might get on my case.
She left my Servant Network this morning,
saying she was going to go
give a divine oracle
Hey, Kelvin!
Hello, Ange.
You look great in that outfit.
Thank you.
Huh? Where's Efil?
She said it would take her time to
get ready and to go on without her.
She's going all-out for this.
All-out?
Um, Kelvin.
What?
Why don't you relax a bit around me?
Now that we're hanging out, and all.
Got it.
It'll be easier for me, too.
Is this better, Ange?
It's fine, Kelvin!
Sorry! I'm here!
U-Um
What do you think?
Um, it doesn't look weird on me, does it?
Come on, Kelvin!
No, it looks great!
Efil, you're too cute!
That's not true!
You were just skin and bones a month ago,
but now you're nice and plump
Hey, don't pinch me there!
You're growing up too much!
Nice choices.
Thanks.
Efil's looks good, too.
Here you go, Master.
W-Wait, not in public
Kelvin, you mean you've been having
Efil feed you at home all this time?
That's Ange from the guild,
and Efil the maid, right?
And the new kid who's already a Rank B!
Damn it! He's got two girls with him!
No, it's when I'm tasting
her cooking at the inn
Did I do something strange?
I can't let her beat me!
Here, Kelvin! Say "aah"!
No! Why are you acting like her rival?
Hey, are they fighting over him?
A love triangle? A love triangle?
Ange finally found a man!
Girls, let's eat these sweets later.
I can take them back to the inn
H-He's taking them home?!
No!
Commoners shouldn't be engaging
in romance in public places!
What the heck?
Um, what's this about?
Kneel, worm!
This is Tabra, third prince of Trycen.
Trycen?
A big military country to the east.
My Prince, as his social superior,
don't you need to educate him properly?
Lowborns like him must
be put in their place.
I see. That's right.
Those women are rather attractive.
And the elf's a slave?
If the girls will give themselves to me,
I'll forgive your crimes.
I'm a kind man, you see.
K-Kelvin?
Do you have a problem?
So both the flunkies are about Rank D, huh?
You would resist me?
I'm the third prince of Trycen, Tabra!
I can't move!
So what brings you to Parth, Prince?
N-None of your business!
Fine, I'll answer you!
I came to meet Leo at
the Adventurer's Guild.
Leo?
I've heard a powerful adventurer
has started using Parth as a base.
I've come to investigate the
rumors myself, personally.
You've got weak guards,
for a prince on a journey.
Trycen believes that talent is everything!
Those with talent rule, which means
there's no place for me at all!
Um, so that means
He's a dimwit.
I planned on making a powerful adventurer
serve me so I could earn some glory!
Do you understand now?
By the way, that adventurer's probably me.
What?
But yes, your power's the real thing!
Surely you'll serve under me—
Yeah, no.
Thanks, Kelvin!
You were really cool!
We got interrupted. Let's go buy some more.
Yeah!
This time, I'll feed you, Kelvin!
No, thank you!
Don't blush!
Stop it! I mean it!

They're growing splendidly, I see!
Yes, please grant us your oracle
I sense an evil presence
from the Western Continent.
Send the heroes there.
And keep them away from Parth.
Parth?
Y-Yes, I understand!
I'm counting on you, priestess of Deramis!
Colette, what happened?
The Goddess gave us a new oracle, heroes!
Master, are you awake?
Yeah. What's up?
You can't sleep?
Thank you for saving me today.
Stop saying that. It's fine.
Anyway, I'm sorry we're still
sleeping in the same bed.
I keep asking Claire for a new room, but
Um, Master
Am I not attractive as a woman?
Efil?
Master, I uh
No, no, no!
You should really only do that
with the man you love
I love you!
As a Master! As a man! I love you!
More than anything!
I was cursed to never
be able to touch anyone!
And you're the one who taught
me about human warmth!
Efil
You're cute, and more attractive
than any girl I know.
Master Do you really
Yeah.
A house. Let's buy a house.
A house with separate rooms for both of us.
I won't survive otherwise.

Yeah. To be honest, I was expecting
heroes to be at least level 100.
They were summoned a year ago, right?
What have they been doing?
I'm a little disappointed, too.
Will they make it in time for
the Demon King's revival?
You guys are getting much stronger, though!
Yeah. My Blacksmithing skill's gone way up!
Wicked Sagetree Staff (Rank A)
Only after a lot of failed creations, though.
Well, I've got a plan for them!
But you were right to be
proud of this Dreadnought.
Dreadnought (Rank A)
It's incredible.
And this Crimson Cape,
Crimson Cape (Rank B)
and your robe.
Sage's Black Robe (Rank B)
I made it with my Sewing skill.
You guys are doing great.
I wish Deramis's knights were
even half as strong as you.

A demon?
Yes, witnessed in a Rank D
dungeon, the Hermit's Cave.
Adventurers exploring it found
a secret room, you see.
And there it was.
Demons are one of the strongest races,
along with dragons and angels.
I'm surprised they made it back alive.
It seemed to be sealed.
But that doesn't mean we
can go messing with it.
To tell the truth, I wasn't sure
about asking for your help.
The demon's strength is unknown.
Worst case, this could be a Rank S quest.
A demon's strength varies greatly
depending on the individual.
Even the weakest are around Rank B, I think?
By the way, Kelvin, I was told you
met Prince Tabra from Trycen.
Maybe I did? Maybe I didn't?
Really?
I don't know who it was, but some
ruffian assaulted a prince!
I'm having a devil of a time cleaning it up.
It's on the verge of becoming an
international incident with Trycen.
Oh, I'm afraid we got off topic.
Will you accept this job?
Yes, with pleasure!
You're the demon!
Rank
D
Dungeon
Hermit's
Hollow
Hey, Kelvin!
Urd!
You doing well, Efil?
I haven't seen you since your exam.
Yes, good to see you.
And the knight?
I'm Gerard, a friend of Kelvin's.
I've come to offer what help I can.
Glad to have you!
So what are we looking at?
As you can see, we've erected a barrier
around the hut and are monitoring it carefully.
There's no telling how
effective a Crossvide's
going to be against a demon, though.
Probably useless against anything
stronger than a Rank B demon.
As much as I hate to say it,
at our level all we can do is watch.
You guys keep watch.
We'll go check out the demon.
Lamvent.
Stay sharp down there.
You take the lead, Gerard.
Efil and I will stay behind.
Clotho, you bring up the rear.
Indeed.
Okay!
We've walked quite a ways
But I don't see any monsters.
Something may be up.
I don't sense any life at all,
let alone monsters.
Is this it?
My Lord
Something wrong?
I sense two life forms in the room.
One's probably the demon.
It's badly weakened.
The real threat may be the other one.
What do we do with the demon?
The seal's still intact.
We'll deal with it later.
We'll deal with the other one first.
We may be able to make it
my servant, if we're lucky!
How very strange.
Welcome, welcome!
I am the Archdemon Victor!
A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
An Archdemon?
If lesser demons are around Rank B,
then a greater demon like him must be
What's wrong? Is something funny?
No.
His bad habit's showing again.
So? Who's the girl?
This girl is
The Demon King's daughter.
My Lord, there have been three
Demon Kings in the past.
If it's the most recent, she would be
the daughter of Demon King Gustav.
But as far as I know
I thought Demon King Gustav
didn't have a daughter.
Not officially. He had a
great deal of enemies,
and kept her existence a secret.
I'm lucky that a powerful
human came so soon!
It was a good idea to let the ones
who found this place escape.
I killed every monster in the area,
so I bet it was easy to get here, huh?
I see. So we walked into your trap.
Yes. To tell the truth,
only humans can break that seal.
So you want us to break her chains?
No, I wouldn't ask for that.
But you see
I want you to let me eat you,
so I can absorb your power!
His power
My unique skill, Gluttony, lets me steal
the characteristics of those I eat.
And it's more effective the deeper
the relationship I have with them.
I see. So that's why you're so talkative?
You want to eat us, get the characteristic
"human," and break the seal
then bring her back as the new Demon King!
I'm afraid that's only half right.
You really are a glutton.
That's right. I'm Victor the Glutton.
I was the aide to Sera,
daughter of Demon King Gustav.
She is in a way, my daughter!
And if I eat her,
I'll become incredibly powerful!
I'll become the new Demon King!
So this is the power of
a Rank S monster, huh?
I've been wondering
What's that look on your face?
I've never met an enemy as strong as you!
I'm so excited I can't control myself!
Fascinating.
Your bad habit's showing.
Um, bad habit?
Efil, when I fought the king, do you
know what look he had on his face?
He was laughing.
In the face of dire peril
and overwhelming power,
he can't control himself.
You mean

This is Tabra, third prince of Trycen.

A demon?
Yes, witnessed in a Rank D
dungeon, the Hermit's Cave.
Adventurers exploring it found
a secret room, you see.
And there it was.
Demons are one of the strongest races,
along with dragons and angels.
I'm surprised they made it back alive.
It seemed to be sealed.
But that doesn't mean we
can go messing with it.
To tell the truth, I wasn't sure
about asking for your help.
The demon's strength is unknown.
Worst case, this could be a Rank S quest.
A demon's strength varies greatly
depending on the individual.
Even the weakest are around Rank B, I think?
By the way, Kelvin, I was told you
met Prince Tabra from Trycen.
Maybe I did? Maybe I didn't?
Really?
I don't know who it was, but some
ruffian assaulted a prince!
I'm having a devil of a time cleaning it up.
It's on the verge of becoming an
international incident with Trycen.
Oh, I'm afraid we got off topic.
Will you accept this job?
Yes, with pleasure!
You're the demon!

Hey, Kelvin!
Urd!
You doing well, Efil?
I haven't seen you since your exam.
Yes, good to see you.
And the knight?
I'm Gerard, a friend of Kelvin's.
I've come to offer what help I can.
Glad to have you!
So what are we looking at?
As you can see, we've erected a barrier
around the hut and are monitoring it carefully.
There's no telling how
effective a Crossvide's
going to be against a demon, though.
Probably useless against anything
stronger than a Rank B demon.
As much as I hate to say it,
at our level all we can do is watch.
You guys keep watch.
We'll go check out the demon.
Lamvent.
Stay sharp down there.
You take the lead, Gerard.
Efil and I will stay behind.
Clotho, you bring up the rear.
Indeed.
Okay!
We've walked quite a ways
But I don't see any monsters.
Something may be up.
I don't sense any life at all,
let alone monsters.
Is this it?
My Lord
Something wrong?
I sense two life forms in the room.
One's probably the demon.
It's badly weakened.
The real threat may be the other one.
What do we do with the demon?
The seal's still intact.
We'll deal with it later.
We'll deal with the other one first.
We may be able to make it
my servant, if we're lucky!
How very strange.
Welcome, welcome!
I am the Archdemon Victor!
A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
An Archdemon?
If lesser demons are around Rank B,
then a greater demon like him must be
What's wrong? Is something funny?
No.
His bad habit's showing again.
So? Who's the girl?
This girl is
The Demon King's daughter.
My Lord, there have been three
Demon Kings in the past.
If it's the most recent, she would be
the daughter of Demon King Gustav.
But as far as I know
I thought Demon King Gustav
didn't have a daughter.
Not officially. He had a
great deal of enemies,
and kept her existence a secret.
I'm lucky that a powerful
human came so soon!
It was a good idea to let the ones
who found this place escape.
I killed every monster in the area,
so I bet it was easy to get here, huh?
I see. So we walked into your trap.
Yes. To tell the truth,
only humans can break that seal.
So you want us to break her chains?
No, I wouldn't ask for that.
But you see
I want you to let me eat you,
so I can absorb your power!
His power
My unique skill, Gluttony, lets me steal
the characteristics of those I eat.
And it's more effective the deeper
the relationship I have with them.
I see. So that's why you're so talkative?
You want to eat us, get the characteristic
"human," and break the seal
then bring her back as the new Demon King!
I'm afraid that's only half right.
You really are a glutton.
That's right. I'm Victor the Glutton.
I was the aide to Sera,
daughter of Demon King Gustav.
She is in a way, my daughter!
And if I eat her,
I'll become incredibly powerful!
I'll become the new Demon King!
So this is the power of
a Rank S monster, huh?
I've been wondering
What's that look on your face?
I've never met an enemy as strong as you!
I'm so excited I can't control myself!
Fascinating.
Your bad habit's showing.
Um, bad habit?
Efil, when I fought the king, do you
know what look he had on his face?
He was laughing.
In the face of dire peril
and overwhelming power,
he can't control himself.
You mean
