"No need to trouble yourself. I've already summoned one." Furious at the Director's words, Su Mo simply put away the Saint Graph and used the Summoning Ticket the system gave him each day.
The next instant, the summoning circle before them erupted in brilliant light, turning the surroundings completely white.
"H-how... You didn't even chant an incantation. How did you do that?" The Director was utterly shocked. As a proper Magus, she was dumbfounded by this phenomenon that defied magecraft.
"Come on, answer my call! Black Jeanne d'Arc, Berserker Dog, Great Duke, Saber Lily, Raikou—come on, all of you!"
Su Mo paid no attention to the stunned Director. His face was full of excitement and anticipation, and he stared fixedly at the summoning circle like a madman, saying a string of things that left both the Director and Mash completely confused.
The summoning circle operated rapidly, but until the very end, it failed to emit even the slightest golden glow. Su Mo's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
"Damn it, the pull was a bust. So much for miracles from single pulls—they're all lies!"
"Senpai, are you all right?" Seeing Su Mo acting strangely, kind-hearted Mash asked with concern.
"N-no, I'm fine, Mash. Don't worry. It's just a bust pull. I've had dozens of them before." Su Mo waved his hand, answering with a somewhat pale face.
Although Mash looked utterly confused, she still interpreted Su Mo's abnormal behavior as memory confusion caused by the Spiritron Transfer. After all, wasn't that what he himself had told her?
As the light of the summoning circle faded, a girl appeared, wearing a kimono mainly colored dark blue and white, with golden eyes!
She had a beautiful figure, and beneath her elegant pale-green hair was an incomparably gentle, breathtaking face.
But what made Su Mo swallow hard were the girl's long, slender legs tightly wrapped in white stockings!
Ah... what an unbelievably seductive woman!
Like a fairy, the girl held a fan in her hand as she leisurely approached Su Mo. With a sweet smile, she spoke.
"Servant Kiyohime. I may look like this, but my class is Berserker. By the way, are you my Master?"
Her pleasant voice immediately brought Su Mo back from his wandering thoughts. He straightened his back and said with a serious expression, "Yes, I'm your Master. My name is Su Mo. Also, let me say this: while I'm your Master, I'm also a Heroic Spirit myself."
Kiyohime? Looks like my luck isn't too bad after all. She may only be a three-star Servant, but as long as I can admire her, isn't that enough? Besides, if I give her a boost, maybe she'll become a gold-card Servant.
"K-Kiyohime? Berserker?"
The Director and Mash were both bewildered, unable to make sense of it. Still, there was no doubt that the kimono-clad girl before them possessed the aura of a Heroic Spirit.
"I didn't expect you to really summon a Heroic Spirit without using an incantation—and a Berserker at that. But are you sure she won't suddenly go mad and attack us?" The Director coughed and asked Su Mo.
"Oh my, please rest assured. As long as Master does not do anything deceitful, I will not go mad and attack you." Before Su Mo could answer, Kiyohime smiled behind her fan. Then, she turned her gaze toward Su Mo.
Her face was slightly flushed, her breathing a little hurried, and her eyes carried a hazy, yearning look.
"Lord Su Mo, I heard tales of you in the Hall of Heroes. They say that the abilities you possess as a Heroic Spirit are quite unique. Could you give me a boost in the battle later?"

Su Mo coughed to hide his embarrassment, then slowly said, "Kiyohime, as your Master, if you need me, I will naturally answer you."
"That's wonderful, Lord Su Mo!"
Kiyohime closed her eyes and smiled sweetly. The smile blooming across her gentle, beautiful face made Su Mo stare in a daze.
"We've wasted enough time. Let's get moving." Su Mo coughed again and took the lead forward.
"But, Senpai, where are we going?" Mash asked, somewhat confused.
"Where?" Su Mo had never seriously considered that question. But according to the plot, they seemed to need to defeat Black Saber, then waste some time talking with Lev before they could clear the prologue.
