Title:
......Do "You" have "Companions"?
That unexpected question floats through a corner of your mind,
as your thoughts collect little by little.
Spreading across your entire field of view, is a sea of jet-black.
Nothing but emptiness as far as you can see.
You can't remember anything.
Nothing at all.
Important knowlege. Important experiences in life. Important memories.
Nothing.
- - - - not even the important loved ones in your life.
.......
- - - - suddenly,
from far away you can hear a voice.
You don't recognize who the voice belongs to.
It may not even be a voice in the first place.
"You" are drawn to it.
If only because there is nothing else to cling to in this void.
........
At last, the endless black begins to fade away.
"You" were called to the world.
Here we go. Open your eyes.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Because from now-
it's the beginning of the story of "the real you" and your "companions".
-That day.
A beam of light pierced through the sky of Tokyo.
The light subsided, and the next moment, I stood in a forested area.
It's dark, with nobody to be found.
Only dim lamps weakly illuminate the surrounding trees.
There is no one around to ask for help.
Of course, even if there was, I don't know what I would ask.
- - - - - -.
It suddenly occurs to me,
I'm holding something in my hand.
It was my smartphone.
It feels familiar to the touch. It's definitely mines.
Where is this place?
Why am I alone, how did I get here----
No, standing here wracking my brain won't do any good.
I need to get my bearings first and foremost.

| What was I doing in such a place....
|
I was just using my phone minutes ago... and then...what happened...?
|
I can't.... recall anything... It's all just a blur...
|
Fufufufu.
You finally noticed me.
Keep your guards down!
You see, you're listening to this charming voice don't you?
"Please, go ahead and unlock the screen on your phone.
The application is already running."
The bright, cheerful voice doesn't match these surroundings at all.
I'm filled with dread and anxiety.
In the back of my mind I can feel there's something wrong here.
But, I want information.
Above all, I don't want to be left alone without even memories.
With that in mind, I unlocked my phone.
A glowing light pours out of the screen and expands into a pattern of mandalas.
|
I've been called at last, tadaaa~!
Ahh, it feels good to be out. It's cramped in there!
|
|
Milord, what troubles you!
Do you need my assistance, anything I can do?!
|
| 3 options
|
| W-what are you!
|
A monster came out of my phone!
|
Cuuute!
|
|
What are....
Waah, why so distant Milord!
|
|
|
|
???
|
......Why do you look so puzzled?
Haha-n. Seems like you're still confused by all the things happening in the same time right!
|
|
You can just rely on my at these times!
It's not just for mere show for an Level 3 approved butler.
|
|
It's okay it's okay.
In front of such unexpected events, there's no need to sweat.
|
|
Your personal familiar to assist you in living a comfortable Summoner's Game life,
I am Salomon!
|
|
From here on out, I will always serve you.
Please, feel free to refer to me as Cute Salomon-kun!
|
|
Milord, what troubles you!
Do you need my assistance, anything I can do?!

Hey, Salomon.
|

Yes, what is your wish, My Lord!

| Summoner.... game....?
|
Why am I in such a place?
|
Can I fluff you?
|
|
Stop playing dumb.
"Milord" is "Milord".
|
|
|
|
|
While you were invited by the "App",
who exactly were you summoned by?
|
|
......What? Whatwhatwhat?
|
|
I don't see the summoner anywhere......
Perhaps nature called???
|
|
Let's continue with the conversation!
Milord, do know what a "summon" is?
|
| 3 options
|
| You mean the "summon" in fantasies?
|
Stop the tedious talk and start explaining-
|
........
|
|
Yes yes.
My master is well educated as I expected!
|
|
I love manga and anime too.
It is a culture unique to this human world after all.
|
|
|
|
|
Oops, I got off track again.
Let's continue.
|
|
Underworld, alternate dimensions-
Even places the same and yet different to your own, there are unlimited possibilities in parallel worlds.
|
|
There are, for example, other worlds in which beings other than humans coexist.
|
|
These worlds are normally completely separate from eachother.
Even in cases where the populations are similar, they cannot meet.
|
|
But, the ability to connect to those other possibilities is called Summoning!
|
|
Summoning means the power to connect and cross over the doors of the other worlds.
It is a power which bonds spirits together.
|
|
And those who gained that power,
we call Summoners!
|
|
That's right! That would beee~!
Tadaaa, you Milord!
|

|
| I'm a summoner...?
|
You seem pretty shady.
|
Ah, I get it now. This is a dream.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're like a hero of a story now,
don't you feel a bit excited?
|
|
Eh, you don't remember at all?
No no, the evidence is right there in your hand!
|

Please, take a look at the screen of your smartphone.

| This app icon that looks like a magic circle...?
|
|
You downloaded this game app and registered as a user right?
|
|
This app is designed as a supportive tool
to allow numerous summoners meet each other.
|
|
Normally the summoner needs to be gifted,
together with a long time of training...
|
|
But with this app there's no need for all that!
|
|
There must be a summoner somewhere,
who called Milord as a "familiar" to this place.
|
|
Are you clear up to this point?
|
| 3 options
|
| But who exactly summoned me?
|
I see. Well, it's okay.
|
Salomon-kun is such a cutie.
|

Anyways, if the summoner is here,
you can use even greater powers-

Please protect me, Milord!
|
|
|

VOICE: G-go away, stay away from me!
Why's this gotta happen to me......!
THUD
|
Owowow, I bumped into someone.
S-sorry, I don't know you but are you alright!?
|
|
Oni:
Human......HUMAN, MEAT......!

Wait, there's no time for this!
Let's run, this way!!

|
Wha, in the middle of Tokyo?!
|
|
Hey, over here!
We need to get outta here....

G, gaah, Under Construction?!
This wasn't here yesterday?!
|
|
Then, h-here, this way!
U-uwaa?!
|
|
Oni:
Kekeke...
Food... food...!
|
|
I just wanted to take a shortcut to the station, and ended up running into rogue Summon...!
|
|
Why didn't I just listen to the chairman and stay away from the gaate!
|
|
Stay away from him! Someone who's not a "Summon" is no match for a "Summon" unarmed......!
|
|
N-no good! It's gonna eat meee!!
I haven't eaten the sweet buns in the cupboard yet!

Do not, ignore.
I'll start, eat you first? Keke.

|
This is quite a pickle, Milord.
|
|
Eh, it's dangerous? Why am I so calm?
No need to worry, Milord! Look!
|
|
I've sped up our subjective time a bit-
ah, which means time is frozen!
|
|
Ehehe, pretty cool right?
I may be a rookie, but I'm still a devil, so this is a piece of cake!
|
|
Well, Milord can't move in this state though.
Please, listen to my explanation carefully.
|
|
This, Milord, is a battle!
Now, if you would direct your attention to the opponent please.
|

|
| He looks strong...
|
He looks scrumptious...!
|
|
Yes, that iron bar, that big arm.
You can't call it anything else but a monster with that look......!
|
|
|
|
Yes, he looks strong!
It's frightening, right! It's unbelievable, right!
|
|
But don't worry! There's a way you can take him down.

| A technique to take him down?

Wouldn't it be better to just escape?

At last, the day I must unlock the seal on my right eye has come....

|
Salomon:
はーい! その通りですっ !
だからしっかり聞いてくださいね?
|
|
|
|
|
Milord is a "familiar", so you were summoned by someone.
|
|
But as a user of the "app" Milord,
you can be a summoner as well!
|
|
That's right! Although Milord was summoned by someone else,
you are yourself a Summoner too!
|
| 3 options
|
| I see! Let's go with that then!
|
But I have no idea how to summon...
|
I want to summon something sexy.
|
|
Salomon:
I'm not quite finished, Milord!
|
|
|
|
|
So...Ahem! Since we're here,
I've already checked into the auto matching function in the app!
|
|
The most powerful match which links the deepest with your soul.
Let's summon it and let it become your power!
|
|
Ehehe, I'm a useful butler right?
So let's proceed to the summon-
|
|
Please wait a moment?!
Nobody else is supposed to be able to move?!
|
|
It should work the way the magic textbook taught me-oh.
|
|
.....I made a teensy little mistake in the procedure.

Hey! Rogue Summon! Over here!!

Oni:
Human, tasty......

Oni:
Ah, he's really coming this way?!
If I survive this, maybe I should go on a diet.....
|
|
Oni:
Stomach, leg, rump......tasty meat......
LETMEEATTTTTTT!!

N-now, Milord!
This is your chance to retreat!
|

|
| Are you running away?
|
Can't you help?
|
What about that Summoning thing?
|
|
It will be easier to escape if he's distracted by other bait.

Nonono, later, I'll teach you how to summon later!

|
| That's one way to look at things...
|
But he came back for me.
|
I don't like to owe favors.
|
|
B-but......!
I shouldn't put Milord in danger......
|
|
|
|
|
To begin with, isn't that fatty guy a complete stranger?
Didn't you just meet?
|
|
There's no merit to helping each other.
As such---
|

Either you're hopelessly kind,
or---it's your plan before abandoning him.

|
| Even if you say that...
|
I only just met you too, didn't I Salomon-kun?
|
I trust him more than I trust you.
|
|
M-m-m, Miloooooord!!
How could you say such a thing... I...!
|
|
You're gonna make me cry!
I'll cry, for real!!
|
VOICE: UWAAAA!!
|
---It's that fatty guy's scream.
Now, Milord. Before the Oni comes back.....
|
|
H-hey, Milord!? Milooord!?
Wait just a moment, WAAAIIIIT!!

Oni:
GOT YOU.... GOT YOU....!!

If I knew this would happen,
I would've finished the sweets I just bought......!

What a voluptuous body...

D-defeat?! B-but, man...!

|
Oh yeah.... I mean, I was super scared,
I thought for sure I was gonna get eaten....
|
|
But, if I ran off now, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
|

Every time I remembered I abandoned you,
I wouldn't be able to enjoy meals anymore.

That's why-----
You helped me out too, right?

The shock from its attack blows us both away simultaneously.
The impact hits my lungs the worst.
It hurts just to breathe.
|
Oni:
Fat human... eat you... no more escape...!
|
The red oni murmurs venomously,
and slowly lifts him up.
Glaring maliciously down on you, his victory seems all but assured.
I'm not his friend. Not family. Just some stranger. I don't even know his name.
I could just run for it, couldn't I?
I'm not obligated to throw my life away.

But, I know his voice. I've looked him in the eye. Had a chat with him.

D-don't give me that look!
I'm mad at you right now, SUPER MAD!
|
|
|
|
|
......But, I respect Milord's wishes.
If anything were to happen to Milord.... I'll be in trouble as well.
|
|
That's why---I'm worried!
Let's defeat him here and now!
|
|
We're out of time Milord!
Straight to the stage! Let's summon!
