Life with my Little Sister

…………

Returning to the Chamber of Commerce to rendezvous with Abel, there was a figure of Takazu who looked in a mood even though he was faceless.

Next to that, Chairman Shorcina, who doesn't know why Abel's upset, is making a mess.

"... Al, Lucica, Phee. Welcome back."

Abel's gaze is fixed on my cloth bag.

That's why I realized it was in this box that I was in a bad mood.

"Yeah. I'm home, Abel"

".................. n"

Hmmm......

Is this an emotion closer to anger than grumpy?

"I'll make you some tea, won't I?

Meanwhile, Mr. Henriette walked away with Stasta with a soft smile.

Nothing. Takazu doesn't seem to move even if he's upset.

"Yay, yay! Put that box down quickly, you know, hang on to it?

My sister pulls my sleeve, as if she can't wait.

You don't even brace this girl...

I placed the box on the table in the reception room, stuck my fie, and when Mr. Henriette brought the tea, Abel finally opened his mouth.

"... that 'cage' was also what was on the list?

"Cage? Cage, you mean this box? This is definitely what was at the auction..."

"... this is why humans are"

Not only anger, but disgust, I guess, this.

Whatever it is, it's unusual that Abel is offended so far.

"No more, Abel."

My mother hugs my best friend from the side.

The Chairman of Shorcina's Chamber of Commerce shouts, "Oh my God... ugh!?" but they're all through.

"If you're angry, I know you have a good reason, but you have to explain it properly, right? Otherwise, you don't know if Al hates you, do you?

"... mmm"

This is the first time Abel has seen this one.

No, it's nothing. You don't hate me for this, do you?

And Mighty Char explains this box.

"… it is," The Cage of the Spirit ". As the name suggests, something to capture and trap the Spirit"

Such technology, for a moment, surprised me, but the auctioneer said, "What came out of the world in the history of demonic guidance", so it's not modern technology. It must be either a history of magic or illusion.

"What are you going to do with it locked up? I mean, did humanity at the time have the advantage of just trapping them in spiritual opponents?

"... aimed at the young body. The spirits who became adults were strong, so they aimed at their children."

"Despicable!

Yantine, holding back beside her, shook her voice in anger.

"... the use of captured spirits varies. Become a research material or use its magic militarily. Humans with a history of demonic instruction considered the conditions for the use of 'ancient magic' to be in the Spirit's own magic waveform, and were doing the analysis. At the expense of the lives of many spirits."

"Is it ancient magic?"

Shorcina, the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, glowed her glasses.

"That's not a magic pattern, we have to start by understanding the lost word, so we're talking about a misunderstanding."

"But in reality, if ancient users are only in spirits and fairies, it seems likely that they will have answers to their own waveforms."

And it was Mr. Henriette who went on.

Yantine hit me in the ear.

"It's a secret story, these two are finishing ancient sorcery. Ancient ceremonies are depths in our high elves. The elder class says that the first person to use it is not there."

Do you mean that you know at least the ancient Spirit language of these two, of the three great lost languages?

The island of Kishkud, where the Spirit language is still used in everyday conversations, is the exception, but even the long-lived elves seem to have little linguistic comprehension.

(I mean, if the old-fashioned ceremony is that great, then that coloboccle - and the kupipipipipipi was sweeping, too, you know exactly...)

And this story means that even in the history of magic instruction, there were almost no ancient users on the human side.

"Well, in the eyebrow saliva heirloom, you've been rumored to have used an ancient ceremony by a nippling sorceress. There are a few other similar stories that exist. But for the most part, it's surprising. You don't deserve to believe it."

Nipa is the name of Watercolor's mom.

I thought you said you used to pretend to be a human being and be an adventurer. Next time, let me ask you something.

Leave that, now, it's this box.

"Abel. Why did you say the open box was empty? Fee says there's a soul in this box."

"...... hmm. In that cage, there is the Spirit. There is also cage-specific magic. Al and the others approached the Chamber of Commerce and soon found out."

Yeah, he said he immediately noticed the box existed.

That's why you were grumpy.

Abel continues.

"... the cage is something that specializes in confinement. Like a different dimensional box, it doesn't have the power to set the environment up. Instead, in terms of 'not letting it out', it should have been considerable. Even among the then operatives, this ceremony was kept secret."

"Heh..."

I wonder if I can analyze that magic?

Although it seems a lot more convenient to have a robust bond as a temporary bondage technique.

"Sure, we hear that the 'balance' Takazu has crushed the maker of the cage?

"...... hmm. That makes no mistake. Lütiel 'wiped out' the manufacturing site. There hasn't been this uncomfortable cage in the world since. With the design of the cage I saw at the time, this is the remainder of the time, so consider it not a newly created object."

"I'm sorry I didn't realize this was that cage"

Mr Henriette bowed his head.

Abel shakes her head.

"... there is no choice in that. We were the ones who didn't tell the shape, and I thought we'd unleashed everything. So there's no fallout for Henriette. But after this, if you discover this cage, I want it recovered immediately."

"As you wish."

The high elves lowered their heads at the same time.

"So, Abel, it's an empty reason."

When I asked again, Abel lay her eyes slightly down with no expression.

Is this a sad emotion?

"... empty because the spirits inside are dead"

"I mean, starved to death?

If it's in a box with nothing for sure, there shouldn't be any bait either.

If you get locked up for a long time, all you have there is one letter of 'death'.

The body of the Spirit is basically made of high concentrations of magic.

So if you die, you become a raw magic and dissolve in the air.

Unless you're also a magic sensing user like Fee or Abel, it should only seem empty inside.

In fact, the moment it opened, the remnants of it would have disappeared.

"Wait a minute, Abel. So, what's the soul in this box? How can you still be alive?

"... Inside is probably the Spirit of Darkness. Other than that, there is no eye for survival."

Darkness!?

Spirit of darkness!

"How do you know it's the spirit of darkness?

"... in a closed cage, dark"

No food, dark.

How twisted were the spirits trapped in such a place?

I also know how offensive Abel is.

And on the other hand, because it is the Spirit of darkness who lives with darkness and is with darkness, the only thing that could have been possible was survival.

If you trap the Spirit of Fire in the midst of a freezing snowstorm, you'll be dead, but if you're ice and snow fairies, you're close to fine.

"... also uses a considerable amount of magic in the cage itself. Darkness and magic. Because of both of them, this soul survived. Probably close to hibernation, only doing life support"

Oh, well.

You also needed magic to survive the Spirit.

There, the Chairman of the Shorcina Chamber of Commerce, raised his voice.

"But Master Abel. Though a good spirit of darkness, is it something that can survive, from the history of demonic guidance to the present? The Spirit's young body is very weak. Even in dormancy, we don't know it by oligarchy, such as being able to live for a thousand, two thousand years."

"... maybe this kid is, like, a special individual. Considering the quality of magic, it seems to be a pure spirit"

"Pure Spirit!

I raised my voice not only to the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, but also to Mr Henriette.

You're a rare person who doesn't usually move.

Just as there is "pure water" that contains no impurities in water, so there is no mixture of magic and pure magic.

But this is very rare.

The magic that is born often brings with it the attributes of the land. It is also affected.

But very rarely, there are times when you can have magic that doesn't mix anything.

But that's usually all.

Because of its rarity, it does not reach as much magic as it can become a spirit.

However, there is an astronomical chance that pure magic may reach the Spirit.

That's the pure spirit.

"I have heard that the character of the pure Spirit is' more than the Spirit King, less than the Holy Spirit ', but if it does exist that much, it may be possible to survive..."

The Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce exhaled heavily.

The contents of this box, they were more amazing than I thought.

"So you're in there, confirmed by the pure spirit of darkness, right?

"...... hmm. Inside, 'True Dark'. That's what they call it, and I don't think there's any mistake."

Pure Dark, then, you don't.
