Episode 8

Returning to Parth and the Goddess Arrives is the eighth episode of the Black Summoner anime series.

Summary


Kelvin, Mist, and a guild receptionist watch as Luca, her mother, and other freed slaves are driven away on a wagon. Once that situation is settled, Mist asks Kelvin where he's off to next, and Kelvin answers that he's off to perform a fun-fun punishment game. The heroes of Deramis are shown in a cave struggling against a giant octopus they're facing off against as Kelvin observes them, Sera fishes nearby, and Efil and Clotho prepare a picnic. Despite Kelvin giving the group advice on how to proceed, they still struggle to fight against the octopus monster, and when they finally manage to defeat it, Kelvin allows the picnic to start. During the picnic, Deramis' Priestess Colette is mentioned. Furthermore, Toya details how Colette summoned them, and before they reached the alternate world, they met with Melfina. After learning that Toya's group entered the world through summoning rather than he entered it via death reincarnation. Kelvin asks the group how they'd take upon an S-class dungeon with their current strength. Toya answers that they'd have to run due to their inadequate power. Just then, Sera fishes up a Sinister Dragon, the boss monster of the cave. As Sera fights against the Dragon, Kelvin then states that his action would cause the people he's sworn to protect to suffer. Toya rebuts that his group would retrain themselves to get enough strength to fight against the monster. Impressed by his answer, Kelvin tells Toya he passes and goes to help Sera with her fight.



Afterward, Kelvin and his group see Toya's group off as they take a boat ride to their next destination; he gives each of them a pendant as a going-away present. As Kelvin watches, Toya's ship sails off, Gerard approaches Kelvin and asks him what's on his mind. Kelvin then asks Gerard if the country Lizea that destroyed his home country Alcarl is located on the continent across the sea, and Gerard confirms it. Sequentially, Kelvin asks if they were to pick a fight with Lizea, would they win against them? Gerard then answers that he believes they would, but Kelvin wants to defeat the other S-Class monsters on the continent they're on now. Kelvin also reveals that the pendants have a minor stats boost enchantment and a secret function he hopes will never have to be used. Sera then informs the group that a messenger sent by Guild Master Mist said an important person wants to meet with them.

Afterward, Kelvin and the group meet with the king of Toraj Tsubaki Fujiwara, who thanks them for dealing with the Black Wind Bandits and the S-ranked dragon. Despite her desire to hold a feast for their achievements, Tsubaki cannot, due to the conflict surrounding Trycen, but she still hopes to reward them appropriately. Tsubaki then asks Kelvin what he'd like; Kelvin answers the right to purchase the rice there. The request amuses Tsubaki, and she claims that they can have as much rice as they please, and if they ever run out of it, send a message to her asking for more. Tsubaki then holds a small banquet for the group, and they all enjoy themselves.

Several days later, Efil serves Kelvin his lunch, a traditional Japanese meal, and Kelvin compliments her for the job well done. They're soon joined by Tsubaki, who notes that she loves Efil's cooking. Furthermore, Tsubaki tries to seduce and entice Kelvin by staying at Toraj, but he flatly rejects the offer because they wish to return to Parth. To help them along the way, Tsubaki allows Kelvin's group to use Toraj's teleportation gate.



Eventually, the news of Kelvin meeting the Toraj's king spreads thanks to Ange; however, he downplays it, stating he has no plans to settle there. Afterward, Kelvin and his companions purchase a House once everyone is settled in their room. Luca and her mother arrive at the house as they are hired to be house servants. That night Melfina returns to Kelvin in the avatar body she talked about before.
