Black Summoner (2022) s01e09 Episode Script
Hero Summoning
1
I finally got to try it myself!
Your cooking is as good
as everyone says, Efil!
You know, though, I never thought
you'd buy a mansion like this.
You weren't at the inn,
so I had a hard time finding you.
You could've asked via the servant network!
I wanted a heartwarming reunion!
And more specifically, to surprise you!
So you just wanted my reaction?
My King.
Who is this beautiful woman?
I've never seen her before, actually.
Who is she?
Oh, this is
Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself.
I'm not sure if we're really meeting
for the first time, though.
I'm Melfina. I was summoned last night.
Is that you, P-Princess?
Yes, it's me!
I do know that voice
Oh, so you're Melfina, huh?
I'm sure you have complex
feelings about me, Sera.
Demon King Gustav was
It's fine.
It's my father's fault for going too far.
And you weren't the one who
summoned that hero, were you?
So what's the problem?
Thank you!
I was sure that my king had brought
a new mistress home already.
Wait, where did you get that idea?
That's right! I'm his wife, not a mistress!
Hey, that's filthy!
Master, let me wipe your mouth.
Thanks.
So tell me, My King
No, that's not right!
It's not! It really isn't!
Black Summoner
Black Summoner
So, is it a bad idea to call you Melfina?
You're a famous goddess in Deramis, right?
That's true!
Call me "Mel" from now on.
Mel, right? I'll tell Elly and Luca.
Thanks.
Now, since you've successfully
summoned me, I need to reward you.
Reward me?
You've done a great job.
You get a flower for good work!
Now receive the grace of Melfina,
Goddess of Reincarnation.
Grace? Like Efil's "Fire Dragon King's Grace,"
or the heroes' "Fairy's Grace"?
What you just received was the
Goddess of Reincarnation's Grace.
It has two effects.
Two?
The first is that once a month,
it will completely prevent damage from a
single wound that would otherwise be fatal!
That's super-powerful!
Yes!
It's perfect protection from unfortunate
accidents and unexpected attacks!
That's great, Kelvin!
Now I don't have to hold back
even the slightest, tiny bit
during our next training session!
And one more which is
actually the most important one.
The ability to summon heroes.

Rigid Briar!
I wouldn't suggest moving too much!
It's pretty!
But I'm kind of cold.
Oh, Luca, you can't let
your stomach get cold.
I wonder if they've made it
to the Western Continent.
Heroes, huh?
Djinn Scrimmage! Right arm only!
That's Victor's
Divine Dress.
I win!
What is a hero, anyway?
They say it's somebody who
defeats the Demon King,
but that doesn't have to be a hero, does it?
For example, it could be
a Rank S Adventurer,
or maybe the Beast King of Gaun, who's said
to be the strongest on the Eastern Continent
You've grown, Sera.
You're really strong, too, Mel.
A good fight!
You both seemed more into it than usual.
Did something happen?
Oh, we were fighting for the
right to sleep next to Kelvin.
What should we compete on next?
The right to sleep next to him?
Aww, I want to sleep next to Master.
Maybe we should bet on whether
tonight's dinner is meat or fish.
Luca, you're still too young.
This feels great!
Baths are the best!
It feels like it's washing
away all my stress
Is there any place on your
bodies that still hurts?
I'm just fine!
Kelvin patched me up!
He seemed very distracted, though.
Did he?
I think he's considering what Mel told him.
About the heroes?
Yes.
Master was summoned from
another world, as well.
He probably has thoughts on this
that we wouldn't understand.
Hello there, My Lord!
What, is that chocolate?
Don't just shove things in my mouth, Mel!
So?
Isn't there something you'd like to ask me?
You can tell, huh?
I'm your wife, after all.
Why do you need heroes, anyway?
A good question.
Before I tell you about heroes, though,
I need to explain more about the Demon King.
The Demon King? Sera's dad?
Of course, this applies
to Gustav, as well, but
In this world, the appearance
of a Demon King is something
that occurs in regular cycles,
and can't be prevented.
Even I can't tell you what form
the next Demon King will take.
But all Demon Kings have possessed
a special skill: Papiyas.
It has two effects.
The first is that it multiplies
the evil within them
to the point that it
warps their personality.
And the second is that
it nullifies all damage.
It's what you'd call permanent God Mode.
How the heck are you supposed
to defeat them, then?
That's where the heroes, people
from another world, come in.
Their power is of a fundamentally different
nature than any in this world,
and can neutralize a Demon
King's invincibility.
That means my attacks
would work on him, too.
But then there's no need
to call them heroes, is there?
That's true, but you need to give
things the proper appearance.
I see.
I don't have any memories of my old self.
That's why I was able to so quickly
acclimate to this world.
But they're not like me.
Is it okay to do what you did to them,
and just summon them from their own
world and force them to be heroes?
If you're uncertain about summoning
someone from another world,
then I recommend a reincarnation summon.
A reincarnation summon?
There are two ways to summon
someone from another world.
Teleport them here, or reincarnate them.
How are they different?
The quickest way to explain it is that
teleportation brings a living person here.
Whereas reincarnation summons
the soul of a dead person
and rebuilds their body from scratch.
I see.
So the heroes were teleported,
and I was reincarnated?
Teleportation!
Teleportation Summoning and Reincarnation Summoning
Yes.
Reincarnation takes a massive amount of MP,
so it's not good when you need to summon
multiple people, like the Deramis heroes.
Reincarnation!
It can, however, summon a single,
powerful person like you.
Another thing to know is
that during reincarnation,
you can select any skills
and perks you want.
And since your body is rebuilt,
your appearance and age can be changed, too.
So you're telling me I didn't look like
Don't worry.
You kept your appearance and age.
Changing them would require skill points.
O-Oh
Yeah, if it took skill points,
I'm sure I wouldn't have.
I believe that you'd have fewer
objections to a reincarnation summon.
What do you think?
Can I choose the soul that's reincarnated?
No, it's totally random.
There's no need to hurry.
But you only get one chance.
There's no time limit on it, though,
so spend as much time thinking as you like.
When did she?
Listen, everyone.
You seemed so uncertain.
I'm shocked you made your decision so soon.
I'm not totally certain about it yet,
but I talked about it with everyone.
I still have to keep the
promise I made to Gerard.
And we can never have too
many strong party members.
If I can't handle a hero, then I'm not strong
enough to do anything important anyway.
Indeed. That's our king for you.
I'll be happy to have more
people to spar with.
Elly, Luca, I told you how
Master is a summoner, right?
The summoning he's about to
do is a very special one.
Please be on your best behavior.
Of course, Head Maid.
Okay!
We can let the person I reincarnate
decide how they want to live, right?
Yes, of course.
Now, begin.
Okay, first
Cancel summoning!
Master, have this recovery potion.
Right.
Now my MP's restored to full.
Mel, do it.
I will now begin the reincarnation summoning,
in accordance with the
right given by my Grace.
Please decide the number
of people you'll summon,
as well as the amount of magic you'll use.
Use all but one of my MP,
and summon a single person.
If I'm going to do this,
I want a strong hero!
Preparations are complete.
Beginning the reincarnation!
Black Summoner
Black Summoner
It's taking time.
They seem uncertain what skills to pick.
That's a good point!
It'll probably take a long time, then.
I could spend at least a full day on it.
No, time flows differently between
here and there, so it won't
What's wrong?
They've made their choice!
It seems they chose not to change
their age or appearance.
And
And?
Never mind. It'll be faster for you
to meet them yourself!
A child?
Where am I?
I suppose I should start by saying hello.
My name's Kelvin. I'm an adventurer.
An adventurer?
Hello! My name is Rio Saeki!
Rio?
The angel told me I was coming
to another world! Is that true?
The angel?
The servant of mine that I left in charge.
I'm the one who caused
you to be reincarnated.
First, I need to apologize for
reincarnating you for our own reasons—
You're the one who reincarnated me, then?
Yeah, that's right
Thank you
Thank you!
Don't cry! I'm sorry!
What is this?
My King, do you have some kind of skill
that makes girls cry when you meet them?
I don't think so?
Huh? Rio?
The reincarnation appears
to have exhausted her.
She's still a kid!
You're sure she's the hero?
Don't worry.
She's the best summon possible.
You used all your MP on her!
I see
Huh?
Master!
It looks like the summoning
made him use up all his magic!
Master!
That's right I reincarnated, didn't I?
The Forest of Time and the Secret Kingdom
Wow! I can't believe it!
I'm I'm running!
The smell of the grass
Pretty, aren't they?
Kelvin!
I, too, was surprised when
I came to this world.
I don't have my old memories, though.
You were reincarnated, too?
Yeah. From what I heard,
I died due to a god's mistake.
I was lucky enough to reincarnate,
but I used my memories to enhance my skills.
Wow, you can do that?
When I reincarnated in this world,
I didn't know what to do, at first.
But strangely, the thing I
felt most was excitement.
I only made it this far with a
lot of people's help, though.
Wow!
I made good friends, too.
I kept fighting and fighting,
and eventually I ended up the
top Rank A adventurer in Parth!
Wow! Wow!
I'm really in another world, aren't I?
You have your old memories,
unlike me, right?
I brought you here mostly to satisfy my ego.
But if you don't want to be here,
I'm not going to force you—
Of course I want to be here!
I spent my whole life really sick.
I couldn't even go outside,
let alone to school.
The only things I had to enjoy
were adventure novels.
I could only see the outside
world through a windowpane.
So they were the only
thing keeping me going.
So when I died, I wondered what
the point of my life even was.
But
Thanks to you, I can live again!
And thanks to my healthy body,
I can stand up like this,
run, and even go on adventures!
So please, let me join your party!
Personally, that'd help a lot,
but don't you need to think about it more?
No, this is what I want to do!
I'm so grateful to you,
and I want to pay you back!
I see.
Yeah!
Hey, they say that black
hair is rare around here.
It is?
So I'd like to tell everybody
you're my half-sister,
who came after me from a different land.
I'm your sister?
Is that not okay?
No, I'm fine with it!
I was an only child, so it makes me so happy!
So, what should I call you?
Brother Big Brother? Bro? Big Bro?
Broseph? Elder Brother?
Hey, hey
Brother Kel!
What do you think, Brother Kel?
I think it's fine.
It sounds like what a
little sister would say.
But I do have one request.
What?
Your name's too close to a particularly
distasteful man I know.
I'd like you to change it.
Really?
Then call me Rion!
That's not very different.
I used to fantasize that I was
in the world of my stories
And I always used the name Rion.
I think it's what would feel best.
I see.
Welcome, Rion.
To a fantasy world of clashing swords
and powerful sorcery.
You and I are gonna be busy!
Yeah!
