Episode 786: How to contract with the Spirit.
In the end, Takeo and the others were in charge of each and every book.
The contents themselves were made into one book for each chapter, and Takeo, who checks the contents because there was not enough, did not take that long to finish.
"Takeo, are you done?
King Azpar asks.
While Takeo and the others were copying, they were looking at ancient documents and killing time.
"Yes. For now, I'm done with what I want.
But I still have a few books.
I wish I could make a copy when I travel to Wang Du, but can I have your permission?
"Well, you should do what Takeo likes about this.
So, what do you think of that one?
After King Azpar nods lightly, he looks at the pale and glowing bookshelf with his jit eyes.
"... How was the royal hall of magicians seen?
Takeo asks the royal exclusive magician who was coming beside King Azpur at some point.
"There are only possibilities that multiple spirits respond to... is it possible?
In the first place, there are two ways to contract with the Spirit: compatible and called by the Spirit, you can read the contents somewhere in the book (...), and you can read a single sentence that becomes a contract (...).
This time it's the former, not the latter, at a time when no one's been called... but until now the book glows after you can read a sentence that will be a contract.
I've never seen it glow first.
Next to what the Royal Exclusive Mage explains, Takeo wonders, "Is the activation key (...) that manager Taylor was saying first?"
"What about...?
Takeo listens with his hands on his chin.
"There will be other types of contracts besides the two...
"What do you want to do?
"... What would Lord Kitamizato like to do?
"Hmm..."
Takeo thinks.
There are two methods that have been confirmed for the contract, but quite briefly, the first will be 'I can hear the Spirit because it is compatible between the two sides' and the second will be 'Speak to the Spirit who is apt from here'.
Wouldn't the third then be 'Speak to the fittest from there'?
And the common denominator is that this adapter will know when the Spirit book to adapt enters this room.
"Do you mind if I do what I want?
"If it's not a physical thing.
The royal exclusive magician nods.
"Sue, over here.
"Tun?"
When Takeo calls, Sue flies over Takeo's shoulder and stops.
Then Mia also stops on Takeo's shoulder opposite Sue.
Takeo spoke to Sue in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to ask Sue to call on those books now, but this one."
"Uhm, do as you please.
King Azpar nods before Takeo finishes his words.
"... why do you decide so easily?
"There's something unprecedented happening in front of me right now, and Takeo will deal with it, right?
Try it. If that doesn't work, let's think differently.
"Okay.
Now let's all sort your desks and chairs before we make the call.
Under the direction of Takeo, the desks and chairs are sorted and each sits.
That was in the form of an interview where everyone sat around an empty chair (...).
In the center king Azpur, from both sides the prince, his son, and Takeo and the others took their seats at the end.
"... Takeo, is this placement a meeting or something?
"Yeah, it feels like if I could do that.
If not, we'll think about it again.
Then Sue, please.
Takeo tells Sue that he stops at the desk in front of King Azpar.
"Tun.
... Tun! Tun!! Chit-chit-chit! Chun!
He's making a little loud noise and talking about something since Sue snorted.
I don't know what you're talking about except for Mia, so shut up.
"Lord, Susuke explained as the Lord said.
"Really?
Mia explains it as she rides her shoulder.
"Takeo, what did you make Lord Sue say?
King Azpar asks Takeo.
"It's easy.
"The Spirit who wants to work on this side shall materialize with his own outline," he asked. "The outline shall state his name, what he can do, what he wants to do on this side, his background, and make the writing method easy for everyone to understand."
And it's a favor to 'let me do the interview'.
"... Mr. Takeo, that's certainly a resume that the public puts out to workshops and places of work.
"Right.
I didn't know what Teto could or wanted to do when I signed the bell tone and Teto contract before.
I don't know what further origin it comes from, and it's easy to make a decision when you briefly explain it.
"Well, even humans do.
You'll be able to talk about it better after you know what background you've been through.
"Yes."
"Lord, Susuke said earlier that we need to be careful because there are also Akushinya Shin.
What are you talking about, Akushin?
"Um... is it a spirit that does evil or recommends bad things to people?
"Lie," "Drink," "Wield Sickness," "Live True to Your Desire," and so on. Well, I think you're a spirit who finds life in corrupting people.
"You're a troublesome spirit.
"Normal would be.
But it's a little different if you had these spirits as allies.
Royal Exclusive Magician, what do you think?
"... will infiltrate the enemy countries with spirits and adapters to carry out information manipulation, etc.
Well, it's only a prerequisite to be cooperative with this one.
Therefore, the contract with the Spirit is between us, the members of the Royal Mage Corps or the Royal Family. If the Spirit calls you, you will sign a contract with the Spirit, and if you become a national force, you will be placed under the control of the state and local nobility.
We believe that Lord Suzune and Lord Teto are managed by Lord Kitamizato because they are an unlikely force of mercy and rain.
"We're both working hard on Count Elvis' territory.
I'm not used to bell sounds. Although it seems tough because I work with my head in research and prototyping.
Teto... well, relax.
Takeo says with a bitter smile.
"Ho, are you already doing your research?
What do you say? You think it's gonna work?
King Azpar will hear.
"Neither do I, but I'm a hand explorer.
I think it will take a little longer to make it work.
But the ringtone is well thought out.
I think if I get used to it, I'll come up with a lot of stuff.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it.
"Please wait for the report to be properly raised.
Takeo closes.
And the bookshelves began to glow.
