Chapter 5: My First Summon Is Tohka!

Chapter 5: My First Summon Is Tohka!

"Hold on~! Why the hell is that a Heroic Spirit summoning circle? Don't tell me I'm summoning a Servant?"

Toma stared at the summoning circle with dead fish eyes, unable to resist complaining.

The white light lasted for roughly three seconds.

Then, the silhouette of a woman appeared within the summoning circle.

Slowly, the figure became solid.

A beautiful long-haired girl wearing purple armor appeared within the formation.

As soon as the girl fully materialized, the summoning circle gradually faded away, as though it had never existed in the first place.

"Are you my Master?"

The beautiful girl looked expressionlessly at Toma as she asked the question.

The moment Toma saw her, he relaxed.

Beautiful.

Gorgeous.

No...

She was unbelievably, ridiculously beautiful!!!!!

Toma knew that among the countless beautiful girls from fictional worlds, the girl before him wasn't necessarily considered the absolute pinnacle of beauty.

But right now, Toma felt that those famous beauties from his old world couldn't even begin to compare with the girl standing before him.

No.

More accurately...

They weren't even worthy of carrying her shoes.

Her beauty completely surpassed anything that existed in the real world.

It was almost impossible to describe...

And her appearance wasn't even everything.

The innocent look in her eyes and that almost ethereal aura surrounding her were things that simply couldn't be found in the real world...

Of course, all those thoughts flashed through Toma's mind in barely a second.

Because right now, his attention wasn't focused on her beauty.

Instead...

"Hey, isn't your character setting a little wrong? You just stole Saber's line."

Toma stared weakly at the long-haired girl and complained before casually opening her status panel.

When Sandalphon is used at full power, Tohka can unleash [Final Sword — Halvanhelev], transforming the blade into a gigantic sword over ten meters long.

The Astral Dress Tohka wears when using her Spirit power.

Purple armor and clothing resembling a princess's dress cover her entire body. The seams, inner layers, and parts of the skirt are formed from immaterial membranes of light that emit a mysterious glow, while a purple crystal ornament rests upon her head.

Evaluation: C-

[Personal Evaluation: C]

"As expected of Tohka. Her abilities really are ridiculous. But her overall evaluation is only C-rank? Just how strong are B-rank characters supposed to be?"

Toma stared at Tohka's information in admiration.

"Hm? What's wrong, Master?"

Tohka looked at her Master in confusion.

She had no idea what he was staring at.

There wasn't anything in front of him, was there?

"Tohka, you can't see this screen?"

Toma pointed toward the virtual screen floating in front of him and asked curiously.

"What screen? Master, what are you talking about?"

…

'So I'm the only one who can see it?'

'Other people being unable to see a System interface is practically common knowledge in novels. It's another standard trope. I understand that much!'

'But even someone like Tohka, whom I personally summoned, can't see it?'

'...Well, I guess that's actually a good thing.'

'At least I won't have to worry about Tohka or anyone else seeing some of the things I exchange for later...'

Seeing Toma standing there lost in thought, Tohka quietly muttered,

"Master really is a strange person."

'What do you mean, "strange person"? Am I really that strange?'

Toma silently complained in his heart.

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on it. After thinking for a moment, he turned toward Tohka with a slightly mischievous smile.

"Oh, right, Tohka. Stop calling me Master. It feels weird. Just call me Toma-kun. That's what my family calls me."

"Oh, okay, Toma-kun." Tohka immediately nodded. "Toma-kun, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Completely innocent, Tohka didn't notice the alternative meaning behind Toma's words at all.

Instead, the moment she finished speaking—

'Grrrrr...'

Her stomach growled.

An incredibly beautiful girl stood right in front of him, one small hand pressed against her stomach.

That pitiful expression caused by her hunger...

For Toma, who had barely interacted with beautiful women before, the sight was enough to leave him completely dumbfounded.

"Toma-kun, I'm hungry..."

Seeing Toma staring blankly at her, Tohka called out again, sounding slightly dissatisfied.

Her voice finally snapped Toma back to reality.

"Huh? Oh! Wait a second. Let me see what kind of food I can exchange."

As he spoke, Toma immediately began searching through the Exchange Panel for something that could fill Tohka's stomach.

...

'Come to think of it, Tohka liked soybean-flour bread in the original story.'

'Ah, found it.'

'A whole box of soybean-flour bread for one Exchange Point? That's pretty cheap. Looks like everyday necessities barely cost anything.'

Thinking that, Toma exchanged for the food and handed it to Tohka.

And in return...

The gluttonous beauty immediately handed him the legendary Good Person Card.

"Mmm~! Thank you, Toma-kun. Toma-kun really is a good person..."

Toma nearly burst into tears inside.

'So I'm a good person because I feed you?'

'Does that mean I'd become a bad person if I stopped feeding you?'

'That standard alone is enough to make me cry...'

Toma helplessly shook his head and watched Tohka happily devour the soybean-flour bread.

He had to admit...

Watching a beauty like Tohka eat was an enjoyment in itself.

After all, a girl as beautiful as Tohka simply didn't exist back on Earth.

And now...

A beauty like this belonged only to him?

Just thinking about it made Toma feel a little excited.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself before finally asking the question that had been bothering him.

"Tohka, do you remember anything from before? I mean, anything from before I summoned you?"

Toma stared nervously at her.

This question was extremely important!

"Nope." Tohka took another bite. "Mmph I don't remember anything from before Toma-kun summoned me. Mmph"

'Oh! YES!'
