SUMMONED to ANOTHER WORLD

Volume 1. Chapter 8 The Trouble

The three of them, accept the invitation to join Mansa's party.

"Then, when are we going?" Cini was curious.

"We will set off in the morning," Mansa tells them.

“Mansa, can you come with us? We have something to show you."

They taking Mansa into the forest, after feeling quite far from the settlement. Vail and Cini set up a barrier.

Mansa saw Rii open a very mysterious circle.

“How did you guys catch the demon king!” Mansa's surprise, the demon king came out of a black hole that Rii created.

“To think we meet again, hero.” The demon king was so arrogant.

“Then, have you changed your mind? Regarding my--” The demon king stopped what he was saying and looked up at a direction in the sky.

"Why are you silent and looking that way?" Mansa is curious about Neii's actions.

"I feel a new awakening from that direction," The demon king said what he felt.

"Awakening!?" Mansa is shocked to hear that.

"Do you want to ask him something, Mansa?" Cini offers Mansa to get information.

“Why are you fighting against humans? Why don't—" Mansa's words were cut off by the demon lord.

“Don't ask for something unrealistic, human…”

“From your words, I know…the four of you live in a peaceful world without conflict like this world.”

"Asking the demon race to be friends or get along is a stupid thing to say,"

"What's your name, hero?" The demon king was curious.

"My name is Mansa."

“Human, I will touch your forehead…”

“What do you—”

The demon king touched Mansa's forehead, he saw a very strong figure in his old memories and knew what happened to Mansa.

He chose to remain silent and did not want to disturb the figure he saw in Mansa's world.

"Are you okay?" Rii holds Mansa who almost falls.

The demon king approached Vail, he just stared and was still just guessing.

"I will tell you some information, of course, there is no lie behind it."

“And now, you can ask me…”

"Then tell me your true purpose." Mansa slowly got up, so curious.

“The ancestor asking us to make humans slaves and force them to work for us.”

"Ancestor did that intending to fight the gods who had betrayed."

"That's all I can tell you, you'll find out the rest yourself."

"Can you reopen a dimension?"

Rather than fight and leave, the demon king chose to stay and returned to the dimension Rii created.

They felt there was a drastic change in the demon king.

In the morning, they said a small goodbye. Because Mansa, Cini, Rii, and Vail will go to the Gerna kingdom.

“Unexpectedly, you threw us away.” Sara is still teasing Mansa.

“Don't say things you shouldn't, Sara.” Nita reprimanded her young sister.

“Is there something so serious? To the point of forming a group with them?” Una was so curious.

"I'm just worried that the three of them will cause trouble for you."

"What you saying?!" Cini was irritated by Una's teasing which was getting worse.

“You two, stop it.” Cindy tries to intervene.

"Hero, we will wait for you here," Erick tells the hero that he and the other two colleagues will be waiting for the hero's return.

"Mr. hero, while you are not here...Sara and I will form an adventure group with Cindy and Una," Nita told her the plan.

“I understand…then the four of us will depart.” Mansa finished giving a small farewell.

“Eli, I'll be back…”

"I will be waiting for you, Cini."

Cini and Elia were like a newly married couple, which surprised Erick.

“Rii, take care of yourself,” Cindy tells Rii to be careful.

They exchanged goodbyes and asking them to be careful, but Vail didn't get a word in edgewise. Cindy and Una are too focused on Rii.

Vail can only wait until it's finished. They immediately focus on the goal.

They arrived so quickly because they flew to the Gerna kingdom at Rii's suggestion. They saw all races going in and out peacefully from the kingdom.

"Excuse me, we're new here. Can we come in?" Mansa asked the city gatekeeper.

"Could it be that you are a hero?" The soldier wanted to be sure.

“I am indeed a hero, and the arrival of—”

“Please explain that first to our king, follow me, sir hero.” The soldier was not surprised or discouraged, he seemed to know that the hero would come.

They were brought into the palace and faced the king.

In the throne room, they saw a masked person sitting on the royal bench. Meanwhile, the person in front of them already knew the hero would come to him.

"A hero, you want to know, right?" Said the king who was wearing the mask.

"That's right, king, we came here to find out what happened these two years."

"Because this was supposed to be the Vorz kingdom and was attacked by demon troops," Mansa said everything he wanted to know.

"I would tell, but I feel great power from them." The king looks at Rii, Cini, and Vail.

"King, is it true that you betrayed us?" Mansa asked straight to the point.

“Did you hear from them?” King Ligt wanted to be sure.

“That's right, my King.” Mansa confirmed king Ligt's words.

"They--"

"You are behind the palace pillars, it's useless to hide." Suddenly Cini interrupted the conversation got up and looked to his left.

“To think you were so good at figuring it out.” The demon king who killed Nor appeared.

“Demon king Dorf, what made you come and disturb my important guest?” King Ligt is not happy with Dorf who is always eavesdropping.

"You're very naïve Ligt...just because ancestor made you subordinate, doesn't mean you won't be asked to kill the hero in front of your eyes." The demon king left, because he felt had enough.

“I am very sorry to the four of you, have you eaten?” King Ligt offered them.

On the way to the dining room, king Ligt told Mansa that it was the Union that betrayed him and sacrificed the Vorz kingdom as their agreement with the demon king had just met.

“All kings United!?” Mansa very shocked to hear that.

“This may sound far-fetched, but that is the reality. At first, I didn't want to believe it either.” King Ligt told Mansa the truth, about what happened to him at that time.

“Then as you guys can see, I became the current demon king.”

"Some of the nobles and my wife and my daughter just ran away and left me behind."

“Have you got the answer, hero?” King Ligt wants to make sure Mansa gets the answer he wants.

“I understand, my king. But there is one thing I want to ask.”

“What do you want to ask, hero?” King Ligt allowed Mansa to question.

“Are you trying to expand your territory? And fight us?” Mansa asked that because he was a hero.

“Instead of attacking, I prefer coexistence,” King Ligt said the truth.

According to king Ligt, after becoming a demon king. He saw conditions, where all races had to live in peace with each other. Without a dispute that results in killing each other.

While at the palace, Mansa and the three of them were always given good service. There wasn't the slightest problem.

Knock. Knock.

A knock came from the window of King Ligt's private room, he opened it. Finding Vail who had come to meet him in secret.

King Ligt still welcomed and invited him to come in, but Vail chose to talk on the balcony.

“What do you want to ask?” King Ligt was so curious because Vail came to him without telling.

“Can you be a bridge between the races in this world?” Vail wants to make sure that king Ligt's words, are not just wishful thinking.

“I still can't say for sure...whether I'm worthy, it's been two years since turning into a devil. I never show myself in public." King Ligt said everything he thought.

“You can certainly do it as if I understand something that I don't understand at all. Hearing your purpose, as long as you believe in the bond..."

“In other words, as long as you are open to them. They will also open up to their king, we will help you.”

Hearing Vail's statement made king Ligt know. He is not alone in making the world harmonious without conflict.

"The kingdom you created has become part of the beginning of your goal..." Vail refers to the Gerna kingdom, where all the inhabitants live in harmony regardless of who they are neighbors with.

"What do you think about my new kingdom?" King Ligt wanted to hear the words of a person whose identity he already knew.

“We hope…the whole world sees this and does the same as your kingdom, King Ligt.” Vail put in a good word for king Ligt.

“Hero Vail…”

"I'm not hero?" Vail feels he doesn't need to be called a hero.

“You have your reasons for hiding, but there's no need to worry. The Gerna Kingdom will not reveal that the three of you who followed the hero, Mansa, are the summoned ones.”

"As kings of the old and new kingdoms, representing the people of our world...forgive us for involving all of you in the conflict in our world."

King Ligt bowed in apology, involving an outsider in the affairs of his world. King Ligt did this sincerely because he also had a family and children.

Vail will help Ligt to achieve his goals and make Mansa a representative of the human race. King Ligt became a representative of all races other than humans.

In the middle of the conversation, time suddenly stopped around the kingdom...

“Do you want to betray, Ligt?” The mysterious voice gave off a strong aura of intimidation with every word.

“No, my lord, I have no intention of committing treason…” Ligt knelt and told his lord.

“My servant only wishes to create a peaceful world with the power you gave me, my lord.”

"Good...if you betray, I will put all your people in the crescent circle." The mysterious voice threatened Ligt not to do anything wrong.

“I received news from Dorf, a hero is in your kingdom. I won't ask why you're hiding it..."

"Thank you for your kindness, my--"

“Kill them to prove your loyalty.”

Ligt stopped talking and was shocked to hear the words of his master, the mysterious voice asked Ligt to kill them just to see if Ligt was still loyal.

Ligt just remained silent, because his people and heroes would die if he said no.

“Can you disappear soon? Your voice is annoying to my ears..." Vail, who initially pretended to be quiet, couldn't bear to hear it.

"Mr. Vail?" King Ligt was surprised that Vail could move even though time and the people around him had stopped.

“I didn't expect anyone to be able to make a move, you mysterious person is so interesting to me…”

“If you are truly strong, come to my territory…human.”
