When I returned to the inn after dropping off Anima, Nan and Teak Wood were in the room where we were until earlier.

The two of them look around at Kyoro Kyoro and dye their faces brightly after noticing this one.

"Mr. Miyama!

"Senior Miyama!

The two of them rush over here and ask me a few questions to make sure I'm okay.

When I tell the two of them that there are no abnormalities, etc. particularly in their bodies, they both give me a horrible look.

And I thought I'd have a chat with Lilia and the others, but Teakwood stood in front of me with his face somewhat down.

"Um... seniors... me, the..."

"Mr. Teakwood?

"I'm sorry... I was scared... I couldn't move..."

I immediately understood what Teakwood was trying to say.

She seems to feel the burden of letting me get hurt because she couldn't escape, and spinning words of apology with her face down and her shoulders trembling.

To Teakwood like that, I smile as gently as I can, while returning words to reassure him.

"I'm glad you're not hurt."

"... Seung... Pai... Huh!? Senior!!

"Wow!?

Teakwood shuddered his body when he heard my words, and after tears in his eyes, he jumped at me.

There is also a difference in height, and the shape is like burying my face in my chest. Teakwood wept as he did.

"I... uhh... shen pai..."

"It's okay. Look, I'm safe on this street..."

"Ha no... seniors... help me... thank you"

"Yeah... but in the end I was helped by Lilia and the others, and I can't tell you how great it sounds."

Yeah, in the end, I didn't win the Black Bear, and I think Mr. Sieg would have died if he wasn't here.

So when I laughed bitterly that I couldn't say anything very great, Mr. Teakwood could squeeze into the hand he turned on my back.

"That's not true...... seniors, it was cool. It was really, really cool."

"Oh well... thanks"

Place your hands on Teakwood's head and gently stroke.

No further words are needed, and Teakwood buries his face in my chest as it is for a while.

As Teakwood continued to stroke her head until she calmed down, she set aside for a little while and then Teakwood untied the hand she was holding and left me.

"... the, uh"

"Yeah."

"Again, thank you!" Senior Fast Man "!

That's what I said, with a bright smile like flowers blooming.

Nan and Teakwood also went back as usual, explaining Anima with Lilia and the others, Ray came back with a very tired look.

"Welcome home, Mr. Ray. What happened to Anima?

"Oh, yeah. Now he's giving me about security in a damaged district."

"Something looks very tired to you?

"... No, really, that kid has an intense personality. Trying to give instructions to the captain of the guard, trying to hit him instantly...... yeah. Fortunately, thanks to Miyama-kun for saying it, you were following my instructions. Thanks to you, I'm going to be in the guard for a while."

Apparently, Anima ate and hung up asking for orders other than mine, as exemplified by the example in the guard's stuffing, and Ray, who turned to follow up on it, decided to join the guard in disintegration.

"It's, uh... something, sorry"

"No, I do have an intense personality, but my ability is a boulder word. I also took a large amount of materials to repair the walls with one hand."

Although somewhat difficult in character, Anima, with comparable power to the high-ranking Demon clan of the title, seems to be a very beneficial person for the Guard.

Even if it's positive or negative with personality, it leans slightly positive or something...... yeah. Hey, next time it's in Anima, I'll tell her to follow the guard's business instructions properly.

Then Mr. Ray joins the chat, and the topic moves on to tomorrow's Treasure Tree Festival...... a story about the Harvest Festival.

"So tomorrow the harvest festival will take place as planned,"

"Oh, the harvest festival was originally attended by children, with great care for safety… ironically, because the Death King has uprooted the Black Bear, so we can say it's safer than usual."

"Cheng Cheng"

With the extinction of the most dangerous black bear in the elf forest, it seems that the safety of the harvest festival is higher.

"With that said, where do you end up at the harvest festival?

"The Spirit Forest, east of Rigforesia."

"The Spirit Forest, is it?

"Oh, the treasure tree, which is also the crown of the festival, refers to the Spirit Tree, the tree in which the Spirit resides. The Spirit Tree will only bear fruit at this time, but it is also the famous Rigforesia."

Ray answers Teakwood's question.

A spiritual forest is, as its name suggests, a forest inhabited by spiritual tribes, and it seems that the spiritual trees that grow there are the treasure trees.

"Does that mean the participants will harvest the fruit?

"Yes - it's also a great opportunity for the Elves to deepen their friendship with the Spirit."

"The fruit of the Spirit Tree is actually a strange fruit whose taste deteriorates if you don't harvest it with the Spirit... the Spirit is very familiar. The trick to harvest a lot is how you can be friendly with spirits."

Mr. Fier and Mr. Ray explain in turn to my questions that I kept going.

Thank you. The Spirit is very familiar, so each participant enters the forest individually and gathers fruit while interacting with the Spirit.

"For once, we can compete to rank who has gathered more fruit, but this looks like an aside."

"Yes, this is all because the Spirit Demon Instructor is overwhelmingly advantageous."

"" "Spirit Demon Instructor?

Harvest festivals seem to rank as well as hunting competitions, but that's like an aside, and the prizes are also stuffed with fruit picked in the elf woods and so on, which seems to be a whisper compared to hunting competitions.

And me, Nan and Teakwood tilt their necks at the unfamiliar words that Mr. Fia said as spiritual demon guides.

"The Spirit Demon Supervisor is a Demon Supervisor who is loved by the Spirit and can use the power of the Spirit. For the Elves, the Spirit Demon Supervisor is a very honorable position. By the way, Fir is his spiritual guide."

"Oh, so Mr. Fier can call the Spirit or something?

"Yeah, it's a corner, let's call it..."

After all, women are more interested in spirits and stuff, Teakwood asks in a slight eating mood, and Fia smiles calmly and puts a small magic formation on her hands.

The green magic formations glow several times, from which a small translucent fairy appears less than 30 cm.

The spirits who feel like they said she was a green, translucent girl all over her body, can rightly be said to be as imagined, and Teakwood gets even more tense.

"Wow, you're adorable...... touch me for a second - ah!?

"Hehe, I told you. The Spirit is very familiar... it is the Spirit Demon Leader who can touch the body."

When Teakwood reaches out, the Spirit quickly hides behind Mr. Fier.

"If you're a fast man senior, how about it?

"Huh? Me?

Teakwood told me the story. I look at the spirits who came out in front of Mr. Fir again, the spirits noticed me too. I turned my gaze here... a little bit and started to move my body and my mould.

I slowly tried to reach out so I wouldn't be scared, while I found it to be some strange reaction... but the Spirit disappears in a hazy way when he sees me reach out.

"Even the boulder Miyama can't do it with a spiritual opponent"

"No, I feel like it's a misunderstanding in the first place..." said Mr. Fier?

"Disappeared? I didn't send you back, but you disappeared instead of running away?

I returned my words with a bitter smile to Mr. Lunamaria as she put the penetration in and turned to Mr. Fia...... for some reason Mr. Fia had a strange look on her face and was whining about something small.

Tilting his neck at the look of it, Mr. Fier's magic formation at hand once again sheds light and the Spirit returns.

And the Spirit slowly approached me, moving the twigs and the body, and holding what was in the back hand... offering me a small nut.

"" "Huh!?

"Uh... will you?

Seeing the sight, Mr. Ray, Mr. Fier and Mr. Sieg's three elves give a surprised look.

I was also curious about the three of them, but when I spoke to the Spirit in front of me first, the Spirit nodded small.

"Thanks"

When I thank you and receive the nuts, the Spirit circles around me somewhere happy and then touches me with a pepper all over my body.

Wasn't it the Spirit Demon Supervisor who could touch the Spirit?

"Um... what's this?

"... mi, miyama-kun!? What the hell did you do!?

"Huh? No, nothing..."

"Instead of the Spirit harvesting together like a harvest festival, it's the 'testament of dearness' that gives you what you've picked. I mean, it's like the spirits have always wanted to be friends with you."

"Oh really..."

I have no idea why, but apparently this spirit liked me.

Reaching out to the spirits who came near me to prove it, the spirits were able to touch them without escaping.

And Mr. Fia, who looked at the condition with his mouth wide open, dropped his shoulder slightly dismayed.

"... So, are you okay? Fia."

"... Ray... it took me... twenty years to become a spiritual demon mentor... for a moment? In an instant... Oh no..."

"Dear Fia, be sure... because this is just more unusual"

"That's right, Mr. Fier! There's just something wrong with Mr. Kite! This guy is really a monster..."

Hot accusations by Mr. Lunamaria and Mr. Lilia, named Follow, strike me.

Even Lilia treats me like a monster naturally... nothing. I didn't use sensitive magic like when I was a child dragon this time... how did this happen?

Dear Mother, Father - I heard about the Harvest Festival and about the Spirit. And for some reason - the Spirit held me dear.
