Episode 10

New Family is the tenth episode of the Black Summoner anime series.

Summary
In his room, on his bed, Kelvin wakes up during the night to find that Sera, Mel, and Rion. Although surprised a bit by this revelation, he's overall glad they were all sleeping so soundly with him.



Later that day, Kelvin allows Rion to frolic around the Dark Purple Forest with a Clotho clone on her shoulder. Kelvin then informs Luca and Elly, who both have Clotho clones on their heads, that he's going to have them leveling up using his experience share technique. To make this work, they'll be standing post outside the nearby dungeon as Kelvin fights inside the dungeon, culminating exp. As this is explained, Sera, Clotho, and Gerard slay the monsters around the area, allowing Rion, Luca, and Elly to level up. Efil then reports that a Shadow Wolf is making its way toward them, and Kelvin allows it passage so he can deal with it himself. A Shadow Wolf emerges from the shadows, and using Air Pressure against it, Kelvin tames it once its HP is halved. Kelvin then summons the newly tamed Shadow Wolf, and immediately, Luca and Rion hug it.

Efil then reports to Kelvin that Urd's party is approaching the area. Once Urd's party reaches Kelvin and his group, they inform them of their plans to slay the monsters around the area for a chance to be promoted to B Rank. Kelvin then introduces Luca and Elly to Urd's party as his maids at his mansion. Mel and Rion then introduce themselves to Urd's party as well. The beautiful girls' introductions make Urd's party members envious and run away. When Sera's group returns from their monster hunt, it's revealed that they eliminated all the monsters in the forest. Kelvin would later meet with Urd and formally apologize to him. Urd downplays the situation, but recommends that he report it to Leo, who would likely have Kelvin take the S-Rank promotion exam.



Afterward, Kelvin and Rion bathe the Shadow Wolf in the mansion courtyard; Kelvin contemplates the S Rank exam, and Rion reveals that she named the Shadow Wolf Alex. Once Alex was finished with his bath, Kelvin assigned Alex to Rion as her partner. Alex then tells Rion he's hungry, and Rion informs Kelvin and Efil about her animal comprehension skill. Gerard then summons her for sword practice and, after this, spends the rest of the day with Kelvin's friends.



That night, Kelvin learns from Sera that fourteen assassins have surrounded the mansion, and Sera notes that despite Sera telling her about them, she couldn't sense their presence. Kelvin informs the group that Efil and Mel have been put to bed while Gerard guards Luca and Elly's room. Using the Farsight skill he borrowed from Efil to analyze the intruders' level, Kelvin manages to locate the leader as the one with the highest level. Deciding that fighting against the intruders will be a perfect test for Rion, Kelvin has her fight against them and gives her a Mini-Clotho, and uploads his Farsight and Analyze skills to the slave network. Lastly, Kelvin gives Rion the Resonating Mithril Sword to Rion.

Outside of the mansion, the intruders are not only revealed to be associated with Christoph, but also Trycen. Once the intruders lay foot on the property, Rion and Alex deal with them as Kelvin and Sera observe their actions from the safety of the mansion. The moment the intruders are defeated, Kelvin has Clotho clean up the area and then goes to deal with the stragglers outside of the mansion.



Meanwhile, at Trycen Castle, Zel Trycen Emperor of Trycen holds a meeting with his generals and children regarding the recent exposure of their cooperation with Christoph and his Slave Trading ring. Because of this revelation, Deramis, Toraj, and Gaun are all planning to form an official alliance to fight against Trycen. Despite informing the nations that Christoph has nothing to do with Trycen, Emperor Zel worries that's not enough to allay their suspicions. Tristan then suggests that they go to war, believing the weak nation's military forces are weak compared to there's and that now would be an optimal time to unify the continent. Although sounding as if she speaks in favor of the endeavor, Shutora voices her opinion against it. On the other hand, her brother Azgard speaks in favor of it. General Dan also sides with Shutora, leaving the final vote at an impasse, leaving the tie-breaker to General Clive.

Afterward, General Dan's son, Jin, relays a message to Clive in his room, where he has just finished performing his hedonistic tendencies.
