The morning after Diadora signed a contract with the Spirit.

As soon as I woke up, I went to the window and looked down at the backyard from the upstairs children's room.

A medicinal flower bed and bath hut are built, and there are new trees that are about the size of a second floor.He opened the window and called out to the tree.

"Good morning, Diadora, are you there?"

"Aha, Marc... you're early in the morning.The sun hasn't come out much yet...? "

When the trunk of the tree glows thinly as it responds to my voice, Diadora slips out of there, sitting on the branch of the tree and returning her greeting.

"Me, I always get up like this.... by the way, you don't have to smile at the branches of the tree? "

That's how it was supposed to be made real last night, but this time it's a no-time, sudden reality.Actually, I was very surprised.

"It's better to make a core with a branch... mana, not less...But from now on... you'll get a lot of mana.Nyakyuki... fufu "

Looks like you're counting on a mana from me.Because of that expectation, or because of the smell, Diadora is loosening her mouth.

There is a blurry atmosphere in the feeling I saw yesterday, so I thought it would be better not to put the expression on the front, but it does not seem so.

"I see... I'll give you a mana then."

"Nh...."

Diadora gives me her hand.She reached out even further to me, tilting her neck without knowing what it meant.

"Direct is fresher and tastier..."

In that case, I grab Diadora's white and thin hand and wash the dirt mana directly.It's gentler than last night. It's slower to soak water in the ground.

"Fluffy... mana, a lot. Thank you, Marc."

With a smile of satisfaction, Diadora walked away from me and floated into the tree again.

This tree - the spiritual dwelling tree - seems to be like Diadora's house.Last night, Diadora, guided to the backyard, produced this tree and told her to live there.

I no longer worried about taking Diadora around in a solid state, and gently stroked my chest down, but I still felt a great discomfort when someone with a solid body disappeared into the tree so that it could pass through.

Well, in this world where magic exists, it may be helpless to worry about this kind of thing.Just the trees.

"Samu! It's so cold today.I woke up at once.... but oniichan, don't open the window. Please close it. "

It looks like Nicolas woke up uncommonly, even though she hasn't woken up yet.I think you said something rude, but it's a coincidence... right?I close the window and turn back to Nicolas, whose face just came out of the futon.

"Good morning, Nicola. I was just giving Diadora a mana."

"Good morning, have you already given Diadora a mana?Ah, I wanted to see it too.I don't want to get tired of seeing that happy face every day ~ "

"Then get up before I do."

"Hmm... that's a bit tricky...Oniichan, can you slow down the mana? "

"That depends on Diadora.... well, if that happens, it's time to get ready to go down. "

Phew!

Nicola, who had her outerwear in her hand, dived into the futon again and started dressing herself.Well, I have to get dressed, too.

I have to explain Diadora to my parents first, rather than helping them this morning.Well, it's about Mom, so I don't think it's a problem.

◇ ◇ ◇

"--That's why I settled one of the empty spaces.And the Spirit of the Tree... Diadora, will you come out? "

I call with a gentle flow of mana on my bracelet.In doing so, Diadora seems to be able to travel between the Spirit Tree in the garden and this bracelet.

The bracelet glowed slightly and Diadora appeared as if it were suddenly rising.And while still floating fluffy, I lowered my head to my father and mother.

"It's Marc's friend... Diadora.Nice to meet you.... "

Last night's first impression was that Diadora wasn't very interested in people.

So, yesterday, I was carefully teaching my father and mother that they might not forgive me the contract if I didn't behave properly, but I think this would be good.

Mother gladly put her hands together with bread as she looked up at Diadora floating in the air.

"Oh, Marc is amazing to be friends with Spirit-san! Deardra-chan, nice to meet you.Mark will take good care of you, too.... Ah, yes. That suddenly growing backyard tree is Diadora's house, isn't it?It would be nice if you could move it a little more sideways, it would get a little in the way when you dry your laundry ~ "

"Nh... okay?"

My mother, who is not afraid of spirits, is quite right.My father is just opening his mouth gently, but I think that's normal.

In this way, Diadora was accepted by our family.Incidentally, Nicolas' early morning sentence ends today.I don't think I've done anything in particular because I've been sexually harassed in the stretching, but I hope to be able to do something next time.

◇ ◇ ◇

And when I finished helping out in the morning, Nicolas and I became free time.From now on, it's time to practice the waiting Spirit Magic of the Tree.It's exciting to learn new magic.Especially if it's rare.I'm heading to the backyard a little early.

With Nicolas, Celine and Delica, who were absent from work today for this tour.

Delica also knew that I was going to stake out the vacant space yesterday, so she came to the store earlier than her usual part-time working hours and asked me what happened.That's why I asked her to go to the backyard to explain what happened last night.By the way, Nay is still at work, unfortunately.

I'm here, Diadora.

In response to my call, Diadora emerges from the Spirit Tree that has moved towards the edge of the garden.

"Thank you for moving me to the tree.I brought one from the kitchen, if you like. "

I gave Diadora the magical tomato I had in my hand.I would have used a mana to move the tree, and it's like a hassle.

"Thank you, Marc..."

Delica stares at Diadora, who immediately hits the tomato with her eyes wide open.

"Wow... this is the Spirit... I've never seen it before...."

"Fufu, Delica-chan, do you think most people see it for the first time?"

Celine smiled back at Delica's words.I saw Celine walking around as an adventurer for the first time yesterday.You might want to be careful, because it seems more strange than an item box if you know it very well.

"... Mark, this child... is that it?"

As soon as I finished eating, Diadora asked me while licking the tomato juice on my fingers.

"Delica. Um, my... parent?"

"Parent...? What's a parent...?"

"Marc, you promise not to be a parent!?And I'm not the leader of the Moonlight Wolf League anymore! "

Delica gets angry at my reply with her hands on her hips. [M]It's been a long time since I've had this kind of exchange.

"Ahahah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Delica is my friend."

"Ugh, that's what you said from the beginning...."

While I was in Surtoria, Delica graduated from church school and retired the head of the Moon and Night Wolf League.He now holds the title of Honorary Advisor, and the Commander is said to have been taken over by Lang, who is under one year of age.

And while working part-time here, Delica is going to practice at the swordsmanship dojo and try the entrance exam for the guard, who seems to be recruiting soon.

"Delica... Marc's friend. What spirit is Delica...?"

"What? What do you mean?"

Diadora and Delica stare at each other with a neat face.Well, for Diadora, a friend was a contract with the Spirit...I solved a slight misunderstanding and finally got to the point.

"So, Diadora, I'm going to practice spiritual magic.Can you tell me what to do? "

"...? This is my first time, my friend, Mark.I... don't know anything...? "

Diadora leans her neck so hard.What? I suddenly got my nose kicked.
