Continue to take a walk with Sola and Luna.

Through the boulevard, he came to a section lined with shops.

"Ooh!

The first human city to visit in 200 years.

Everything you see seems novel, and Luna was flying her gaze over there.

"This is not quite"

Though not as shaky as Luna, Sola was chilling in a similar way.

Both of us, it's been like this all day.

I'm smiling somewhere.

I feel like I'm walking with a child.

Nevertheless, if they found out you were thinking about that, they'd be pissed.

I need to keep it out of my face.

"By the way, it's Rain. I'm concerned about something."

"Yeah? What do you care?

"Did Rain sign a deal with Canade and Tania?

"Right."

"The contract with Canade strengthened my physical abilities. The contract with Tania strengthened the magic. Must be, huh?

"Yes...?

"And... Rain made a pact with me and Sola"

I see.

I somehow understood what Luna was trying to say.

"I mean, what abilities would you be gaining from signing with Sola and the others? That's the story."

Sora tells me what I want to say instead.

"Ugh, you're right! I'm interested in knowing what kind of power Rayne got by signing with us."

"And even if they say..."

I'm interested myself.

According to Canade, if you contract with more than a certain race, you get the power of those in service.

Sola and Luna are the most powerful species called the Spirit Clan, so they will definitely have some power.

It's just... you don't really feel it.

Neither in Canade nor in Tania could I have noticed until the battle in action.

In yourself, how is it changing?

It's hard to be aware of that.

"Any change?

"I don't know... Especially not the same as before"

"Did anything unusual happen during the last fight in the mine?

"I don't think..."

I answered in retrospect of the battle ahead.

Physical abilities remain unchanged.

The magic... maybe it won't change.

I was able to control the amount of magic properly.

If the contract with the two of them had increased their magic even further, it would probably have been outrageous.

It is likely that it was out of control and self-destructive, as it has been before.

That hasn't happened, which means the magic hasn't risen.

"Hmm? That's odd."

Listen to me and Luna will look surprised.

"We spirits are individuals specializing in magic. If you used us, naturally, you would have thought there would be more magic..."

"Maybe there's more magic you can handle, isn't there? It allows Sola and the others to use all the magic they can."

"Whoa, I see! Maybe there is. All right, it's Rain! In the meantime, you should try to unleash superb magic!

"In the meantime, there's no way you can shoot magic all over the city in. I mean, what, what's that superb magic?

"You know magic has its place, right? Primary, intermediate, advanced. Between humans, these three things are fundamental, right? Sure. Canade was saying that."

"Oh, you're right"

"There are just two more positions on it. Far beyond advanced, super magic. And beyond that super, there are secrets that only our spiritual clan can handle... superb magic exists. Well, we haven't reached that zone yet, so we can't use it."

I know super magic.

It's magic they say was used by brave men coming out of fairy tales and such.

Until a while ago, I only recognized it as just a fairy tale content...

It seems Tania used it when she clashed with Arios before this, and found it to be real magic in reality.

But... I can't believe there was more super magic than the one that appeared in the legend...

And I can't believe the Spirits are the only ones who can handle that...

Again, I know that the most powerful species is an outrageous species.

"Superb magic? Instead, you can't use advanced magic."

"Aren't you quick to give up? You don't know what you're not trying, do you?

"You two would know, wouldn't you? Mastered magic comes to mind with its magical structural formula, but not any magic that isn't. There are only three magical structural ceremonies that come to mind: fireballs, heels and boosts."

"Hmm. If that's the case, it doesn't seem like you're mastering new magic"

"So what power does Rain gain? Maybe you didn't get anything or something?

"I don't like that. It's like we're off the hook."

"Though we made a contract, the out-of-the-box demons who have no power to gain... Will the Solas be affixed such a rettel?

"Ugh... don't feel more and more nasty when it comes to words. Rain, you thought that!?

"Because there isn't."

To calm them both down, I stroked their heads.

"Huh."

"Hiccup."

Gently stroking their heads, the two spilled strange voices and quieted down.

"Even if you didn't have the strength to get it, it doesn't make a difference to me that you two are important people. I'm not going to judge you by force."

"... trouble"

"Yeah?"

"If they say that, Sola will illuminate"

"Ugh, um. I can't see Rayne's face properly."

The two are slightly dyeing their cheeks and twisting in a restless manner.

Whatever Sola is, even Luna.

I can't imagine it from my usual attitude, but maybe it's surprisingly pure.

"Hey, it's Rain. Why do you trust us so much? We just joined the party. I've only been through party fights once. Moreover, that battle is halfway between us leaving on our way after securing the prisoners. And yet, why trust me? That's what I'm talking about, but don't you trust me too easily?

"What Luna said, Sola was concerned, too. Why, Rayne?

"Uh... sure, you might be wondering"

Maybe you two are right.

Trust is not something you can do overnight.

Stack up the tricks, stack up a lot of time, and then, finally, it's something you can do.

If you are saying trust the thoughts created overnight, it becomes a niceties thing.

I'm aware of that...

Still, I call Sola and Luna dear companions.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I keep calling you my buddy.

"You talked about me banishing the brave party, didn't you?

Finishing your stray forest offense and on your way back to the city...

I have spoken to both of you about this in order to explain how it happened.

"Yeah, I remember. You mean the assholes who banished Rayne? That's when we met at the inn, right?

"You're stupid people. Someone who's packed with people I don't like to know."

The two words are spicy.

Maybe he's sympathetic to me.

"There was no two-letter 'trust' between me and Arios. One is just an interest... now that I think back, it was an empty party with nothing"

"Is this a party made of interests only…"

"You're not like us."

"Now I think I may not have believed the Arios and the others somewhere. He's a brave man, but I'm a powerless BeastTamer. Trying to believe, I'm not confident in myself and I can't believe... maybe I was frightened somewhere that they might not think I needed to. And I can't believe Arios and the others... the result is banishment."

……

"If I had believed the Arios and the others from the bottom of my heart... if I had trusted them, I might also have had another result"

"That's not... Rain isn't bad. Sola, I don't know the details because we just looked at each other lightly... but that human felt very nasty. I think he betrayed Rayne, even if he trusted him."

"I agree. Humans are stupid beings. Rayne deserves to be trusted... but not the rest of them. You don't have to feel bad about yourself."

"Thank God. I'm glad you said that. But I still think I'm responsible for something I didn't trust."

""... Rain... "

"So I made up my mind. I won't make the same mistake anymore. Believe me, believe me... if that's what betrays you, it doesn't matter. Laugh and accept. That's how I believe, I think I have something to open. That's what I believe. So... I believe in my people no matter what. Believing from me builds trust..."

"I don't know... Sounds like Rain"

"Uhm. Simple, but very easy to understand"

"You're not complimenting me on that...?

"You're complimenting me, aren't you? Sounds very Rain...... Sora has come to place more trust in Rain than ever before"

"I don't like other people... except Rain, right? You saved us. Besides, I can 'trust' the word now."

In response to my words, they both used similar words and smiled.

We're not tied up with real trust yet, maybe it's our first party.

Still, one day...

I think so, let's keep walking.

I'm sure our thoughts intersect and the road connects.

By the way, it's Rain.

"Yeah?"

"If we were serious, I'd be hungry. It's time to eat something."

"You just ate a hot dog...... Luna's stomach, what the hell is going on?

"Not enough to that extent. I want something more voluminous!

"Ha. If that's the case, will it be noon? First, let's go back to the inn and pick up Canade and Tania"

"Ugh. Hurry up, lunch is waiting for me!

Turn right.

Return to the path you have walked so far, to the Inn.

"Heh, heh, heh"

"What is it, Luna? It's disgusting how you laugh."

"Don't be disgusting!

"It's true."

"Before lunch, I just felt so high! Don't you dare go in there!

"If you laugh like that, you can't get through it."

"Mm-hmm. My sister cares about the most boring things."

"I was wondering if Luna might care too much about all sorts of things"

"What the heck!?

You two having fun? I'm talking. Walk a little back.

Peaceful time.

It's going to be a quiet holiday.

... Oh, my God, the next moment, that prediction will be beautifully betrayed.

"Hey, there."

A voice that stops us.

Looking back, there was a man in fancy clothes when he did it.
