Episode 3

**A Secret Shared with the Guild, and a Slave Girl** is the third episode of the Black Summoner anime series.

## Summary

Kelvin meets the Guild Master to Parth's Adventurer's Guild Leo, and he uses his **Appraising Eye** on Kelvin to discern who he is.

Within the Guild Master's room, Kelvin is served some tea by Leo as they discuss Kelvin's recent accomplishment in subjugating the Blackghost Knight and revealing Cashel's insubordination. However, Leo asks Kelvin if he is, in fact, a Summoner, and after following the advice of his tamed monsters, admits that he is, but asks why Leo did nothing about Cashel when he knew about his shady involvement. To that point, Leo confesses that he couldn't lay a hand on Cashel because he's a noble from the Militant nation of Trycen and needed solid proof for his claims.

Getting to the point of the conversation, Leo expresses his desire to become friends with Kelvin, noting he's met otherworlders in the past, being the Heroes of the Holy Empire Deramis. Melfina notes that she was the one who reincarnated them and promises to tell Kelvin more later if he's curious. Leo continues his explanation about the Heroes of Deramis, claiming that the Priestess there foretold of the revival of the Demon Lord. Kelvin deduces that Leo wants him to protect the town in the stead of the Heroes, and Leo confirms it. He does list some inciting incentives for agreeing to his terms, and Kelvin does.

Afterward, the innkeeper Claire congratulates him for reaching B rank in the guild. Enjoying his lunch in his room, Kelvin has Melfina disclose her information on the Heroes of Deramis to him. Her information on the heroes was vague, and they were chosen due to their good looks and knowledge. After hearing this, Kelvin decides to retrieve his reward money from Clotho and heads off to the alleyway where the slaves are being sold. Kelvin intended to enhance his party's strength with a rear guard and one that hadn't been purchased before by another user. That's because a Slave's master has complete control of where their Slaves skill points are allocated.

Upon reaching the alleyway, Kelvin spots the half-elf that he from the other day. The Slave Trader reveals that nobody wishes to purchase her due to her curse that burns anyone who touches her. Getting more information about the curse from Melfina, that it's the Fire Dragon King's curse and that the only way to break it is an A-Rank White Magic spell called, **Sacred Bless**. After leaving the scene, Kelvin later returns and purchases the half-elf named Efil, with whom they get acquainted midway through their return to the inn. Kelvin also casts **Sacred Bless** onto Efil, breaking the curse placed on her.

Afterward, Claire has Efil dressed in a maid's outfit at the inn, and they both enjoy dinner together. Later, in Kelvin's room, Efil is told all of Kelvin's secrets about himself and has her allocate her skill points to her choosing. However, one snag hit is that they have to share a bed, causing Kelvin to experience a sleepless night.
