Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 275: The Moon is Beautiful Tonight (Bonus)

”Are you the only one here?” Nathan asked.

”Yep. Do you think Evelyn will come to this kind of place? And do you think she will wear something like this?” Bella asked while pointing at her outfit.

”Definitely not. I canʼt imagine it.”

”Right? The rest are also busy and I have an illusion ability, which allows me to disguise myself.”

”I see. I will be relying on you on this mission. I donʼt know what weʼre currently up against, though.” Nathan sighed.

”We actually have some information. According to the rumor, the enemy this time is an alien because there are a lot of scratch marks in the scene.

”However, thereʼs a possibility of it being done by a human who uses aliens. After all, the scene is too clean for only an alien.

”I can give you more information if you have more time tonight.”

Nathan thought for a moment before shaking his head. ”No. I will be extremely busy tonight… maybe.”

”Hoho?!” Bella chuckled, her gaze teasing him. ”In that case, I will just tell you a few things right now and continue with the investigation. Since you have proven yourself, I will be following your arrangement. Evelyn has given her permission as well. If we can, we will need to catch the culprit and find out more about their organization.”

”Got it.”

”Alright.” Bella nodded. ”First of all, the weird incident started happening two weeks ago. According to the witness, there was a screeching noise from a mansion in this city. And the next morning, it was said that the merchant who stayed in that mansion died terribly.

”There were a lot of scratch marks both in that mansion and his body.”

Nathan rubbed his chin. ”Whatʼs the response of the merchant group or his family?”

”The merchant group is in panic, and he only leaves behind a single son who has to take his mantle because of the situation.”

”Can you get more information from his son? It doesnʼt need to be focused on what happened to his father. Just let him say whatever he thinks is important.”

Bella nodded. ”Consider it done.”

”Any other information?”

”Yes. There are four more victims of this incident. Three of them are civilians, while the last one is another merchant.”

”Another merchant? Are they aiming for a merchant or something? The civilians can be just collateral damage.”

”Probably.”

Nathan squinted his eyes. ”Just like the first merchant, find information from this merchant. As for the other three people, just ask them about simple things. Also, is there anything shady in this city like trades, goods, or activities?”

”Iʼm not very sure about it. I can check it as well.”

”Thank you.”

”Last but not least, I donʼt sense any strong summoners here. Even if itʼs going to be someone from that organization, itʼll probably be just one of the lowest ranking people. The problem is that if they know you are here, thereʼs a chance they will send more stronger people.”

”When that happens, can you ask Evelyn to take over? No. Iʼm not going to bait them right now. Because the former principal has just left, it should alarm them. If you are able to push them away without revealing your identity, they will think that the principal is going undercover to protect us and will come back later.

”By that time, I will have summoned my fourth familiar. It will make the situation much safer.” Nathan smiled wryly.

”I will tell the captain about it. When should I deliver this information to you?”

”Hmm. Maybe three days from now. I will probably begin to take this matter seriously at that time.”

”Got it. In that case, I will not hold you any longer. Enjoy your time.” Bella winked.

”Ah, wait. Thereʼs one more thing.” Nathan raised a finger. ”If you can, stroll around the city and figure out the atmosphere of the city. What they think about the incident, how they feel about the loss of the people, and so on.”

”Got it.” Bella nodded and walked away.

Meanwhile, Nathan returned to Selena and Sera, who seemed to have been ready to have a fight.

Nathan had to stop them. Most of the time, Selena was staring at him mysteriously. It felt like she was annoyed and angry, but at the same time, she was thinking about something else and gathering her resolve.

Nathan brought them to play with either the sand or the water to distract them, hoping for the time to pass quickly.

As soon as the sun was about to set, they returned to the villa Vivian had. Even though she said it was a villa, it was practically another mansion. It was even bigger than the one she had near the academy.

There were at least 30 maids and butlers receiving them.

After settling down their luggage, Nathan just dropped to the bed. ”Iʼm tired. I have prevented a future world war today. Well, I should coax Selena tonight to avoid future fights.”

That was what he thought until he heard a knock.

*knock!*

”Nathan? Are you still awake? This is Selena. Can I talk to you for a bit?”

”Just enter. Itʼs not locked,” Nathan casually said, as he had gotten used to them sleeping together.

As if using that fact, Selena entered. She wasnʼt alone.

”Risa?” Nathan tilted his head in confusion. ”Is it time to suck my blood again? I feel like it should be three days—*Clack!*”

Nathan abruptly stopped when he heard the door getting locked. ”Ahem. What are you doing, Selena?”

Selena seemed to be embarrassed in saying it, so Risa stepped forward while saying, ”Even though Iʼm a vampire, blood is not the only thing I can suck, you know?”

”!!!” Nathan widened his eyes in shock.

”Desperate time calls for desperate measures. You said it yourself.” Selenaʼs expression turned cold. ”Iʼm not planning to give my position to anyone else. If they dare to come, Iʼll show them who is the boss.”

Nathan raised his finger as if he wanted to correct her but immediately dropped his finger again, as if he had no objection.

”Risa. We have to make sure that he doesnʼt have the energy to see that slutty saintess in that way again tomorrow.”

Nathan thought he had to do something, but it seemed there was a blessing in disguise. Seraʼs existence had forced Selena to be much bolder.

This situation reminded him of the prophecy that the elder in the sand village gave him regarding his luck with women.

”Wait. Let me say one thing that I always want to say.” Nathan raised one finger. He glanced at the outside with a serene expression. ”The moon is beautiful tonight (I love you).”
