As Kelvin, the battle junkie Summoner hailing from another world, continues his extraordinary exploits, Goddess Melfina finally returns to his side, finally having completed her artificial body. When she grants him her blessing, he gains the power to summon a Hero of his own . . . who wants to become his stepsister?! As Kelvin and his party grow stronger by the day, he receives a summons for his Rank S promotion exam. The contents of the exam involve saving an elven settlement from the threat of a terrible monster, but just how much is the militaristic nation of Trycen involved? The black-clad warrior and his allies smash through everything in their way as they dive full throttle into the third volume of this epic journey!

Justified trope character

The new little sister acts alot like anime tropes because she went into a hospital as a very young kid and basically never left. Manga was the only reference she had for social interaction and everybody else just rolls with it because they either can't say it's weird or think it's too adorable to stop

The cooking contest lol

The story is solid but skip around at time, like not completing a thought. Voice actor make’s it hard to distinguish between different characters.

Why is each book better than the last?

Not complaining, just surprised is all. typically in this genre it gets samey after awhile. Not black summoner, it somehow doesn't get too predictable. I am used to books like this pulling something random out it's ass to try and keep you engaged. Not this book if something comes out of left field, it's been crafted to be like that.

fun

I am very much enjoying this series. the anime had me hooked, and the light novel doesn't disappoint either!

Great series! The story keeps you interested!

The band of heroes keeps growing. More monsters and everyone is leveling up! Cannot wait for the next episode!
