Watching Noam and Woundee really made me feel like the father of two daughters.

Why does Noonum and Woundee look like cute little girls?

It's because my heart wanted to look like that.

I think I lived well in my past life. But there was also something unfortunate.

Family.

The wife who left the divorce papers unilaterally. A bastard son who followed his wife to the outskirts.

After they left, I lived without my family all my life. When I finally died, I was alone.

Yes, it is.

I longed for my family. I wanted to live happily ever after because I had lots of cute daughters.

The appearance of gnome and undene is shaped by the deep desires within me.

No, I don't.

It's not just appearance.

Bright, lively gnome. He's shy and quiet, but he's very charming. Both are nice and cute and follow me like a father.

I'm guessing it's because I wanted them to be, too.

Spirits can know every part of the spirit. That is why it was implemented with the appearance and personality that the Spirit wanted when he first signed the contract.

Of course this is my hypothesis. But it's a pretty reliable guess. I've never heard that all spirits are so cute and affectionate.

The conclusion was one.

The best thing I've ever done in my life is learn spirituality, not 40,000 sacks of wheat or the herb business.

Noum, it's Wounded.

I'm so glad I met you guys.

Being together makes me happy and happy, and I want to be around each other all the time, and I feel warm and relieved just looking at each other. Isn't that what family is all about?

It wasn't until I learned spirituality that I got what I wanted most.

- My Lord.

Thank you, Noum, Wounded.

Let's stick together.

We're gonna hang out, we're gonna hang out, we're gonna have a nice, quiet time.

- My Lord.

Yeah? Yeah.

Then I woke up from a thought. It was Norm who was calling me.

“What's the matter, Noum? ”

- I'm weird.

The gnome was a somewhat embarrassing face.

“Strange? What do you mean? ”

I came as surprised as I was.

Did something happen to Norm?

- I'm just... trying to change.

“Change?”

It was then.

Paaaaaah!

The golden body of gnome shines like the rising sun.

“Hehe! No, Noum?! ”

I was blindfolded and screamed with one hand.

His body was separated by dozens of strands of light. The beam of light disassembles as if it were a bundle of wool.

“Nouum!”

I cried out as if my wrath had dissipated and disappeared.

And something even more amazing happened.

Papa-pot!

The shattered beams began to regroup.

Arms and legs and head are made. The facial features appear gradually in a distinct shape.

Soon the completed form was as I knew it would be.

No, not exactly.

Norm turned out to be a little girl who was twelve years old. He looked about two years older than before. Plus, he was 70 centimeters tall.

I was so amazed that I opened my mouth as if I were really old.

- Evolution.

Wounded said.

Evolution?

Yes, evolution!

Norm has become an Intermediate Spirit!

- Master, I've evolved!

“Well, yeah. Our gnome has grown. I'm so glad!"

- You're lucky?

“I was so worried something bad might happen to our little gnome! ”

- Master, were you worried about me?

“Of course! How precious is our gnome. ”

- Heh heh, I'm precious.

I felt relieved when I saw the wrath of Vashti smiling because I was happy.

The sudden evolution of gnome into an intermediate spirit was perhaps my heart that had just valued spirits.

Either way, animosity is a blessing to me.

I just love gnome and undee, and that's how it's going to grow.

I hugged the gnome.

But as soon as my hand reached out to him, a strange sensation was conveyed to me through him.

“What?! ”

It felt like the experience of spiritual connection when we first made a spiritual agreement.

Blah, blah!

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in my head.

Fortunately, I read the book, so I could see what was happening.

The evolution of spirits soon leads to the evolution of spirits. If your spirit undergoes evolution at the end of its growth, your spirit will also undergo major changes.

The change is the deepening of the spiritual connection with the spirit.

As soon as gnome became an Intermediate Spirit, I became a Intermediate Spirit.

Intermediate Spirit?

To better understand what each other is thinking and feeling. The Spirit recognizes and moves what it wants, even if the Spirit doesn't explain it in long words.

Does that mean I can communicate my thoughts to Noonum and Woundee without speaking?

I'll give it a try.

I looked at Noonum and focused my thoughts in my head.

I love gnome so much. I love it so much.I wish we could be together forever. I love gnome. I love gnome.

Then Norm glanced at me and laughed.

- I like you, too.

“Noum!”

I'm impressed and hug the gnome again. gnome was shy but good, so he didn't know what to do.

Then this time Woundee approaches and wanders around me. He marked something about hugging his son as well.

“Yes. Shall we try Undyne this time? ”

This time, I focused my mind on Wounded.

I love the undees. I love the undees. Our Woundees are so cute.

Then Woundee reacted.

- I don't know, but, sir, I have an idea.

Apparently, Woundee is now a lesser spirit, so she can't read my mind exactly like Noon did.

“I told you how much we love our undees. ”

I hugged Wounded, too.

That day, I shared the joy of becoming an intermediate spirit with Noum and Woundee.

* * *

The civil war in the Kingdom of Ledon had to end before the beginning of the summer. The ending was cheaper than I thought.

The cost of power was similar, but Eric Thais was ahead of him in his ability to lead. According to previous memories, Erik Taesar was a monarch with an accurate eye for people. You put a man in the right place to lead the war in his favor.

Whereas Prince Brando II, who had a small vessel, lost his composure and suffered from anxiety and urgency as the situation worsened.

Prince Brando II used a ferocious tactic to win in a heartbeat.

He made a request for backup to his neighboring kingdom of Orien.

Judging it as an opportunity to expand into the Kingdom of Leaden, the Kingdom of Oren responded to the request of Prince Brando II.

As a result, however, this was Prince Brando's decisive move.

The landscape that had been secretly watching across the river until now was all in one piece.

It was a pleasure to have Eric Taï  c and Prince Brando fight against each other and consume the power of the kingdom after the siege. At the end of the civil war, the Jehovah Empire was about to expand its power to the rest of the kingdom when the royal power was weakened.

However, if the Orient Kingdom is involved in civil wars, things will go wrong. If the Orient Kingdom interferes with participation in civil wars in the Kingdom of Leaden in the future, it will create an opposition map called the Orient Kingdom after the establishment.

So Jehovah took part in the civil war, and Erik was on his side. To end the civil war before the Orient Kingdom could intervene.

As a result, Erik Taesar defeated Prince Brando in just one full night, along with the Jesuit. Captured by Prince Brando II, Prince Brando was executed, and thanks to that, the Kingdom of Orion has lost its cause to intervene in civil war.

Erik Taesar formally ascended to the throne, and when the civil war ended, Father and Uncle Arthur returned home with an army.

So far it was all within the prediction range.

But something different happened in my past life, and I had to be surprised.

And that is,

“Congratulations on your major. Father."

“Hahaha! All thanks to you, Caroc. I wouldn't have beheaded Count Rita if I hadn't gained so much practical experience fighting you. ”

Earl Rita was a brilliant wizard who mastered six circles with Prince Brando's henchmen.

On the battlefield, my father acted with great skill and courage. Then I got a chance to catch Prince Brando, but he said he missed it. Instead, you managed to slaughter Earl Rita, who fought desperately to protect Prince Brando II.

Earl Rita performed various enchantments and disrupted him, but he calmly broke his magic by sparing me the experience he fought against me and gaining the supply of Earl Rita.

Because it was a big specialty, Erik Taesar promoted his father by himself and gave him a small territory adjacent to the south of the Duke of Kunt.

I'm not a baron anymore. I'm a Kunt writer!

I am now introducing myself as Samnam Caroc of the writer Kunt. The difference between a baron and a bird is enormous!

Thanks to this, the Kunt mansion held a party to commemorate my father's birth and majors. It was a drinking party, of course.

My father, who took the beer delightfully, wiped the beer bubbles on his beard and had a cheerful conversation. He was not as excited as his usual father because he was drunk.

“I was really embarrassed when Earl Rita created the stone wall by magic. I just wanted to give up and go back. But come to think of it, it's the way our son Carroc, the spirit, used to make rocky walls to block his path! I smashed it with an error and threw the Long Sword at Count Rita in dismay. You never thought a knight would throw a sword at you! Earl Rita would have opened up the shield and defended it sooner or later. Hahaha! Thank you, Caroc! ”

“No, you're welcome. Your dance has finally lit up. ”

I was surprised to hear you say that.

I can't believe the fact that you fought my father as a spirit changed the future like this!

Good thing it was a positive change, doesn't it mean that maybe my actions have caused worse things to happen than I knew in the future?

Moreover, knowing the future was a great relief to me. Thanks to you, I spent my entire fortune buying 40,000 sacks of wheat, and now I'm so relaxed.

However, if you no longer know the future, that advantage disappears.

As you did in your previous life, you have to do something annoying to rush around to predict the future, to tackle information gathering and game trends.

And why is that?

The most important thing for merchants is predicting market changes!

If you don't notice the change and remain calm, the Great Merchant Guild will be ruined in a flash.

Oh, that's annoying.

Can't we just live with the spirits like this?
