He inscribes a magic circle in accordance with its instructions, and as a result, he summons a formidable demon named Vermeil, who has been sealed for a long time, and makes her his familiar.

Meet Alto, a clueless student at Royal Ortigia Magic Academy with a poor academic record. Rather of taking a more practical strategy to saving his grades in time for graduation, Alto decides to enlist the help of the supernatural. Only then does he discover he's enlisted the famed she-devil Vermeil as his familiar! However, while Vermeil is a formidable ally who can help Alto improve his grades, her magic can only be renewed with a kiss, which causes all hell to break loose with Alto's envious childhood friend, Lilia. In Vermeil in Gold: A Desperate Magician Barges Into the Magical Universe Alongside the Strongest Calamity, it appears that Alto has just unleashed a whole new world of diabolical mayhem!
