Demon Link: A Summoner's Day Job

[Furry] [No System] [Xuanhuan] [Slice of life] [Anime]

(Think outsiders can follow along well enough? I've changed a few things about the setting because they didn't feel right to read, sob. If I mess things up, I'll fix them right away.)

An outsider? Maybe I'm just far from home...

“Only the pentagram in the middle is left... Phew, done!”

A top-performing human student specially admitted to a magic academy finds it hard to live with the strange looks from everyone around him and the dull, boring lessons. In the end, he decides to take a leave of absence and stay home.

One day, while sorting through his book collection, he comes across a magic summoning circle. Out of loneliness, he copies it, only to summon... a demon?

“What? Kid, aren't you scared stiff by my intimidating aura?”

“Uh... well, this body isn't exactly scary.”

“Ah! Right, I've got a great idea!”

After somehow making a pact with a demon, Luo Xiayou reluctantly begins the daily routine of gathering magic power.

“Even looking like this, you're still willing to touch me... Seeing those memories flash before my eyes, I understand now...”

“Thank you for giving me a name... It's wonderful. I'm so happy.”

“What? Kid, aren't you scared stiff by my intimidating aura?”

“Why are you suddenly hugging me...?”

“...Huh? Did I scare you into crying?”

For someone who's been alone for a long time, even a simple greeting can make them happy for the whole day.
