Egret

Chapter 15. Joy

The group focused on moving again, leaving behind a little chatter.

In the cloudless sky, there was hot sunlight.

After a while, they slowed down and checked the position.

“I feel something spinning. Commander, where are we now? ”

“On the map, it would have arrived and remained. ”

They did not make it to Alturke, even though they had exceeded the expected arrival time at the time of departure.

Edan narrows his glances as he examines the town and looks at the open desert, where no one can see his nose.

“…… Someone's got to be kidding me. ”

Grab it!

Then he drew his sword without hesitation and drew a void.

The atmosphere shivered in the aftermath and became silent.

Judas, who confirmed his appearance, smiled calmly and sympathized with Edan's views.

“Oh, my God. You're all stuck together. ”

“Yes? Is there a shield in front of you? ”

When Baikal asks around, Cristina answers coldly.

“Is that what the Magician calls a question? If you didn't notice, it wouldn't be magic, it would be something else. ”

“No, well, that's not true. Are there any other abilities besides magic to create shields? ”

“Cancer, not there. There are so many powers in the world that we don't know anything about besides magic. ”

Unlike Cristina, who blows the cold, Judas explains it kindly.

“But look. This is very strange, isn't it? ”

Judas reaches out into the air like a horse on a wall.

The green air stream from his fingertips stretched out to cover the earth and sky.

As if marking a huge boundary, Baikal also wanted to look at the green ground.

“Spirit of Material System Mirror……! ”

It was the power of Abel's Spirit, ‘Turkey’.

Over the years, Turkey has replicated even the desert terrain using its unique nature, reflecting everything that has been growing over and over again.

The nature of these material system spirits was difficult for natural system spirits to recognize.

However, more than once I noticed, I could break it with the power of the higher spiritual king.

Like a lightning bolt in a cross-section covered in green.

"Heh-heh, that's great. You were fooled, weren't you?

As Uni grinned and clapped his hands, the mirror that reflected the entire desert was shattered.

“Wow, this was all a mirror? ”

Sage was amazed to see the mirror cracked open.

A piece of the mirror that scattered over the group's head was exposed to sunlight and shined like a firefly.

Fragmented debris evaporated and disappeared without harming people.

“Yes, you've arrived. ”

Judas stares at the destination in front of his eyes, reaping the power of the wind.

“In the desert city ‘Alturke’. ”

Unlike the rough sand they passed by, there was a wall made of pure white fine sand.

The whole town was made of white sand, like a sand castle where children were kneaded in seawater on white sand.

A gray-haired girl appeared in a broken mirror for a moment.

"Long time no see, Mirror.

I said Turkey now!

"Ah! Did you? Hehe, sorry.

“ ……. ”

Turky opens his eyes as the spirits wax.

A transparent pupil, like a glass egg, looks at them in a blunt colour.

Then I found Judas and smiled widely.

“We met again. ”

Even his voice was graceful and graceful.

The appearance was the same as before, but when I last saw it, everyone looked surprised at Mirror Spirit Turkey, who clearly had a human face.

Only Judas smiled calmly and greeted her.

“You were protecting this place. Turkey."

“Yes! Turkey, Abel, help. ”

Turkey, who nodded his head in cold fists, was very happy.

She was as if a puppy who had been distributed to another house as a very young child had not been the subject of such deep heart-wrenching joy as having reunited her original master's house after becoming a dog.

It was an instinctive attachment for anyone who was attracted to him by the Spirit.

Someone grabbed Turkey's back, trying to hold him like a child.

“ ……! ”

Oh, excuse me. Because you're my contractor? "

Red feathers scatter in the sand.

Turning from the size of the other finger to the body of a girl in her late teens, Carney looked down at Turkey with her eyes wide open.

Turkey blinks at a glass egg-like pupil with less hesitation in the sudden intervention of the Fire Spirit King.

“…… No? ”

"No.

Of course not! But Carney, you're wrong again.

Uni, who appeared in front of Turkey with Kani, who grabbed him from behind, stubbornly snorted.

"I keep getting confused, but Greg is our contractor."

"Chet."

"What is Chet?"

Turning between the two spirits, Turkey lowers her head with a slight grip on her hem.

Even in the dry desert, the elegant blue wolf, holding a moist foam, said to let go of the clothes that were biting her.

…… The content has gone the wrong way, but the good for the contractor means keeping it safe.

“Line?”

"Perhaps, the issue of moral responsibility in a spiritual society?

It was just a monopoly on contractors that was embedded like the spirit's instinct, but Turkey, the same spirit, understood the unambiguous explanation and nodded loudly.

“Got it. Contract, moral responsibility! Turkey, you must keep it. ”

Although it grew a lot, Turkey was still mostly childlike.

Carney still lets her go with a cautious eye.

Following an unexpected quarrel between the spirits, the group looks at each other without knowing how things are going.

Then Tony, who was watching this horse poop on Judas' head, laughed and ventilated the atmosphere.

Hehe. But it's good to see you again.

“Yes, Turkey, I will guide you. ”

Turkey walks down on the sand and guides them to Alturke's white walls.

Because it's a fortress built in the middle of a desperate desert that doesn't know when or where to come out.

The glottis was firmly closed on.

Turkey walks in front of a firmly closed door and politely knocks.

Knock, knock!

I didn't even check my identity, but a heavy door opened wide with a thump.

Baikal, who stepped inside along Turkey, rubs his back neck and mutters a little.

“This is whether security should be thorough or lax. ”

“Maybe the whole Alturke is being defended by Turkey. ”

Sage opened his mouth this time toward Judas, who even listened to the small murmur and replied kindly.

“Then, brother. Only those who pass the Spirit's test can come in here. What is that? ”

“Hey, that mirror guy? It seems a little hard to take on such a middle position. ”

At that time, Turkey, who was going ahead, turned around.

‘De, did you hear that? ’

Turkey pointed his finger in front of him while his prickly bicycle shrunk.

“Abel, it's in there. ”

Alturke, who came in and saw it himself, was a much more advanced city than they expected.

Exquisitely constructed from white and fine sand, the buildings were two-storey in base and were built from five to seven storeys high.

It was like a maze with white walls.

Between the buildings, the cactus was growing in rows like a streetscape, and the colourful flowers blossomed to give a clean, white appearance to the building.

Everyone was impressed by Abel's sense of reconstruction of the city, not just because it was desert.

One of those buildings Turkey pointed to was a three-story medium-sized building.

I put a yellow sign on it so I could see that it wasn't a normal house, and I drew a Smiley flag in it.

“Oh, the school. ”

Cole, who had served as a teacher in Lubach, first recognized the mark.

Lubach's teaching was separate, but it was usually the yellow Smile that symbolized the school on maps and books.

Schools within the Empire are not so common among ordinary people and aristocrats.

There are only a few non-formal and unprofessional educational establishments in Lubach that are only noble schools and are embarrassing to call them ordinary schools.

At least not public facilities that handed over and supported the country, as Lubach did, but private facilities established by some talented people.

Even ordinary schools were difficult to maintain for a long time because profitability was not easy.

So commoners don't go to schools as elegant and competitive as nobles.

Their schools were incredibly autonomous, unrestricted, and the breadth of their learning was not defined, so it was a random study format.

When I left school and got my diploma, I had nowhere else to use it.

Only children with outstanding grades or performance were reported to be scouted and raised by the Imperial Talent Management Team.

If you are very lucky here, you can get only one name and even a lowly noble title.

The school in the Turkish desert, which had just been rebuilt and stood up in that country, caught the crowd's eye.

“Even though we didn't graduate together, you were taught by Lubach. ”

Abel's efforts to rebuild his home were wonderful, which led Cristina to acknowledge.

An unprofitable public school was an attraction for facilities that would not be possible without a genuine love of home.

“But what's Abel doing in there? But is it because of the teacher who is the leader of the desert? ”

“…… I won't. He will know that nobility and common people's learning are different. ”

But it was they who often met Abel until they left Lubach.

Abel, who was attacked by the commander once and destroyed until the Spirit-Reducer, was no longer a noble.

Abel, who was overwhelmed by school violence in Lubach, even got expelled from school after a spiritual storm.

At that time, it was Judas who accepted him, who had nowhere to go to become a rainy leaf, and Abel helped teach his students as an assistant while learning spirituality at the Institute of Spiritual Studies.

But it was a noble society that raised nobility everywhere.

People and nobles lived in different societies.

They do not need the knowledge of nobles.

The school door opened as the group wondered what Abel was doing in a school built for desert tribes.

“Argh! At the right time...? ”

Waaaah!

It was still little children who opened the door and came out with cheer.

Baikal, who looked at you with a happy face, sighed in vain and looked terrified.

Not only that, but at the same time, most of the group, including Edan and Cristina, hardened their faces.

“That, that! ”

“Hmm.”

Judas stared at the children with interesting eyes.

At the end of the class, the children who jumped out of the classroom were different in age and height and fitness.

Apart from the fact that the age was not constant, even conversations were normal on a child's excitement face.

In the meantime, they had a remarkable peculiarity.

A large creamy fox popped out of the children's hair slightly pale.

Even the clumsy tail escaped between the trousers and the skirt.

Judas, who confirmed it, characterized its identity in a flattering tone.

“Demibeasts.”
