Chapter 13: CHAPTER XI -- EFFECT OF CONTRACT AND THE WATER SPIRIT
If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again
In order to confirm the effects of the spirit contract, we head out to defeat the ghosts that we have been unable to defeat so far. I walk behind Sylphy with Belle in my arms. It seems that Belle has decided to stay in my arms since we made the contract.
"Yuta. Can you see him floating there?"
"Hmm? Yeah, there's definitely something there. Is that a ghost or a wraith?"
"Yes. The one with the clear shape in the middle is a wraith. The unstable and distorted figure around it is a ghost.
Both ghosts and wraiths appeared out of nowhere. If there is a wraith in the middle, it might be a group of wraiths with ghosts. The ghosts are barely recognizable, while the wraiths seem to have a stable human figure without any blurring.
"So, Sylphy. How am I supposed to defeat them?"
"Just get close to the monster and ask Belle to take it down. Once you get used to it and understand Bell's attack methods, you'll be able to pick and choose your battles as you wish.
I see. If you ask Bell to defeat an enemy roughly, he will act freely and defeat the enemy. You can set conditions ...... for example, if you ask him to defeat them without using flashy attacks, he will do as you wish.
"Okay. I'll give it a try."
With Belle in his arms, he approaches Ghost and Wraith and asks Belle to do something for him.
"Belle. I need you to kill that monster over there. Can you do it?"
"I can do it!"
Float away. He thrusts his right hand up to the sky and proclaims confidently. He's got spirit. Bell thrusts his hands toward the ghost and the wraith.
"Fujinranbu!"
As Bell chants the spell, a large number of light green blades of wind appear surrounding the demon, striking it from all directions. It is shattered.
Is the spell "Wind Blade Ranbu" correct? It's a spell with a Japanese name, but it's very powerful. Ghosts and wraiths have been cut to pieces, and they're gone, but they're still attacking. It's completely overkill. If we can find the most powerful spells to defeat the monsters, we will be able to avoid wasting time.
Finally, the spell wears off. Belle jumps into my arms and looks up at me with sparkling eyes. This is supposed to be a compliment, right?
"Oh, Belle is awesome. That was cool. Thank you."
He manages to squeeze out a few words of praise and pats Belle on the head. Belle seems to get excited by the praise and is fussing in my arms. I'm worried that she's really starting to feel paternal.
"Hmmm, it's going to be hard to find the magic stone with this..."
He approaches the battle site and looks around. Blades of wind are gouging everywhere, and the ground is in ruins.
"Oh my. Ghosts and wraiths don't have magic stones to begin with. They don't have any substance.
"What? Then how does it exist?"
"Well? Is it an attachment to this world?"
Sylphie, that's appropriate. ...... but isn't that a ghost, not a demon? It would be scary if we think too much about it, so let's agree that it's a demon.
"But Belle's magic was amazing. If she's this strong even for a low level spirit, how strong is Sylphy?"
"Hmm. I am the Great Spirit of the Wind. I am strong enough to live up to my rank.
Sylphy's face is full of pride. He's a great spirit, three ranks higher than ...... Bell. I can't imagine what it must be like.
"I'll do my best to get you a contract as soon as possible."
I'm looking forward to it. Come on, it's getting late, let's get back to bed and get some rest. We'll bring the water spirits tomorrow morning, so don't oversleep."
"Yes, of course. All right, let's go back."
I completely forgot about tomorrow because of the power of Bell's magic. I'd better get back to bed.
I went back to the well to say goodbye to Sylphy and Belle, and when I was about to crawl into the rock cave, Belle followed me. She told me that since we had signed the contract, we would be sleeping together today.
When I told him that I was not comfortable because of the rocky bottom, he said it was no problem because he would sleep on top of me. It was decided that I couldn't even turn over.
****** (****)
When I wake up, it's pitch black. I've gotten used to it, but I'd really like to install a window if I can find a safe place. I wake up refreshed by the morning sun. It's a nice feeling.
Well, first I need a soft place to sleep. It's hard to be so stiff. I pick up Belle, who is asleep curled up on top of me with the photosphere floating above her, holding her in my arms so as not to wake her.
That was it. I remember you're going to call the water spirits for me today. Let's get out of here early. I stow the rock blocking the entrance and go outside. It's dim. The sun hasn't fully risen yet.
I call for Sylphy, but he doesn't answer. I guess she hasn't come back yet. Belle starts to move in my arms.
"Good morning, Belle."
"Yuta. Good morning."
That's a cheerful greeting. He wakes up with a snap and immediately starts his engine. I'm a little jealous.
Did you sleep well?
"Yeah. I slept well.
"Good, good. I'm gonna go get cleaned up, so go play around."
"Yes, sir."
Now that the bell has gone off, I unwind my stiff body and wash my entire body, including the inside of my mouth. He has finished grooming himself by stretching out his bed hair and wrinkles in his clothes as much as possible. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
I don't know what's going to happen at ...... for breakfast, but once the water is clean, I'll boil some water and have some instant ramen noodles.
Okay. We need to boil water, so I'll build a stove. We also need dishes. I take out a reasonable rock and start sawing it. This is the second time I've done this, so I'm familiar with it. Now all you need is an air hole with a chisel ...... and the stove is ready.
We also need to make a bowl and chopsticks for ramen. Cut a reasonable sized piece of wood into a square, and roughly shape it with a saw. It's easy because you can cut it quickly and easily.
After roughly shaping the wood, use a chisel to cut off any unevenness and shape the wood. The surface is finished by shaving the surface thinly with a magic planer. It's a bit ugly because it's hastily made, but it's good enough for practical use.
"Interesting!"
Belle, who has been watching with interest, holds the donburi and looks at it from various angles.
"Belle. Don't drop it."
"Okay!"
What is so interesting about the bowl? Well, if it's fun, it's good. Let's make chopsticks while we're at it.
Two hard branches are taken out and carefully shaped with a survival knife. It is difficult to sharpen the branches so that the tips are thinner. Somehow, the shape is formed and the surface is finished.
Once again, the magic tool is amazing. The sharpness of the tool is so great that it can be cut in a very short time. The problem is when you cut too much or when you cut yourself. If you're not careful, you might end up in a heap of trouble.
"Ah, Shilfie is back!
I hear Belle's voice and look to the sky to see Sylphy and another person. Hmm? There's something flying around me. What is that? While I was wondering what to do, Sylphy was right in front of me. He's still going very fast.
The mysterious flying object I've been wondering about is ...... a light blue dolphin no bigger than 80 centimeters. Its dull eyes are very cute. It's flying, but...
"Let's see... Welcome home, Sylphie. Is that the water spirit over there?
I'm home. Yes, I'm home. I'm Dine, the Great Spirit of Water.
The Great Spirit has brought the Great Spirit. Is it really okay to have two Great Spirits in a place like this?
"My name is Deanne. Nice to meet you."
I was so distracted by the dolphins that I missed it, but there was a stunningly beautiful woman right in front of me. Beautiful blue hair. Her skin is pure white and translucent. Her blue eyes were slightly droopy, and she had an air of calmness about her.
Above all, the symbol of her motherhood was very strong. That's what big tits are for. I want to dive in. I can't help comparing her with Sylphy.
"Hey Yuta! You didn't even say hello. And you compared me to Dine."
Oh, no. They know.
No, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Deanne. I'm Yuta Morizono. Thank you so much for coming all the way out here.
"Oh, my goodness, thank you so much for your kindness. It's okay to call me Deanne. No honorifics. Yuta. Nice to meet you.
I didn't know you called me "chan". He's got a slow, laid-back tone. ...... spirit.
What are you talking about? Yuta! I'm sure you've compared them.
Sylphie. Don't get mad at me over something so small.
"Hey, Dine. I'm not little. Normal. Normal size. You're just too big for your own good.
Sylphy. I don't think that's what you mean by small. I'm not going to say it because I'd get in trouble if I did. But you care about Sylphie. I'll be careful.
Let's see... Deanne. Nice to meet you again. So what's with the dolphin flying around out there?"
I look at the dolphins flying in the sky and ask. Before I know it, Belle is straddling the dolphin, and I wonder what to do. They are cackling and laughing happily, and the dolphins are drifting lazily. Is everything all right?
"Oh, yes, that's right. She is a water spirit of the lower class. Sylphy told me about her and I brought her along.
I didn't know lower class spirits didn't just come in the form of little girls. That's a shocking fact. As I was talking about dolphins, she came up to me and I patted her head lightly. It feels nice and cool and smooth.
"Yuta. Some of the lower class spirits that are not humanoid cannot speak. But they understand your words, so you can talk to them normally.
Sylphy's mood seems to have improved, and she gives me some advice. It is true that it is difficult to speak in a dolphin's mouth.
"My name is Yuta. Nice to meet you.
The dolphin rubs its head against my hand and grinds it. Cute.
"Oh. Oh, yeah. This is Windbell. She's a lowly wind spirit who's under contract to me."
"It's Belle!"
Belle jumps on Dine's ample bosom and greets her, nuzzling her face. I really envy her.
"Oh, my. You're so cute. Belle. Nice to meet you."
"Yes, sir."
It's getting crowded now that the Great Spirit of Water has arrived. What's going to happen now?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
