Humans find beauty even in trivial things.
For example, think of Queens Blood, the best red wine. This wine is really amazing.
When Woundee enhances her taste, it will give the world a taste that will never be tasted again.
But would someone who doesn't know how to taste wine admire Queens Blood the same way?
No, it's not.
Those who don't know the wine are just a little sweet or tangy and bitter.
Only those who know about wine can know the true value of wine.
This was also the difference between a trapped human being's ordinary vision and a spirit's sense of beauty.
Very little has ever appeared on the stage of history, which is why it is here.
Senior Spirits know that everything in the world is beautiful because they share their senses with spirits.
So there was no reason to obsess about the rich movies. It is because they know how to live happily rather than live hard and fulfill their desires.
Ten seconds later, the sharing of your senses with Noam is over.
I glanced at my spirits.
I've never been as desperate as I am today.
Noum, oundie, salamander.
How lovely and beautiful my spirits are.
And how precious I was given this gift.
“Thank you.”
I spoke to the spirits with all my heart.
But then,
Paaaaaaaah!
Suddenly, a red light appeared from the salamander's body.
“Eek! Evolution?! ”
I was embarrassed by the sudden phenomenon.
But now that I think about it, I am almost at the top of my class, it was no wonder that the lower spirit, Salamander, was still under my influence.
Yeah, it's been over half a year since we signed, so it's time to evolve.
With the red light, I wanted to scatter the salamanders everywhere like an explosion.
Then again, the hot heat focused on one place, creating a big, gloomy ball of fire.
A big fireball twitched and shifted in shape.
My arms and legs come out and my head sticks out.
Having arms and legs and a head, a more detailed appearance began to form, such as a neck piece.
And finally……, I turned into my former wretch son when he was twelve years old.
The evolution of spirits also affects the spiritual history.
The evolution of salamanders changed me too.
When gnome evolved, I too became an intermediate spirit, and when Wounded evolved, my spiritual affinity increased dramatically.
Likewise, this time I felt something mentally incomprehensible.
I knew this feeling well. This is the phenomenon of a sudden increase in Spirit Affinity!
It felt like there was a bright light in my head.
But that wasn't the end of it.
Paaaaaah!
“Noum?! ”
Surprisingly, even gnome was engulfed in golden light and began to evolve.
This was an unexpected performance.
It was a situation in front of me, Norm, or his superior.
In that state, due to the evolution of salamanders, my spiritual affinity was greatly increased, and the impact of that was a chain reaction that also evolved even in gnomes.
I felt a tremor.
The gnome is loosened by hundreds of golden strands of light.
The rays that wanted to scatter so badly began to coalesce again like a pile of wool.
He wriggles like a doll of clay and forms a human form.
How long has it been?
The finished figure was a gnome shaped like a 14-year-old girl.
A young girl who still looks like a girl who has been eaten.
The helmet, the big shovel, and the big eyes were still cute.
It's just before puberty.
- Dad, I evolved.
It's evolving!
Norm smiles widely at me, and Salamander smiles in disdain, rejoicing in his evolution.
I said with a shivering expression.
“Yeah, I think he's going to evolve, too. ”
Soon after, I felt a sudden rise in spiritual affinity with the influence of gnome, which had evolved into a higher spirit.
It was full of bright light in my head. A huge amount of mental satisfaction pours in like waves.
Like sunlight raining in the dark, a bright light exploded in my head.
I left the rope of consciousness wrapped around a spiritual pleasure that cannot be expressed verbally.
* * *
Mmm-hmm.
It was a strange expression, but the word ’good enough to faint’ fits perfectly.
After the salamanders evolved to gnome, I became a senior spirit in a heartbeat.
Twice in a row, I felt a great sense of spiritual pleasure due to the rapid increase in spiritual affinity, and I lost my mind.
After work, Julia and Sis find me lying in the mansion garden.
I was sleeping with a very pleasant face, and the three spirits were guarding it.
Once Julia and Sis had heard of the spirits' troubles, they moved me to the bedroom and reported the news to the Kunt family.
It's obvious.
When I heard I'd become a higher spirit, my family would be in chaos.
When I woke up, I saw the faces of Julia and Sis, as well as my father and Arthur.
“What are you all doing here? ”
“Something happened! I heard from Julia. Are you... really... a Senior Spirit? ”
“Yes, sir. ”
I nodded and everyone blew up their elasticity.
“You're already a higher spirit! Even if it's a genius, it's been less than three years...! ”
He looked ridiculous.
Even so, he was the father who lived with the sword all his life, but he still hadn't reached the master's reach in his dreams.
However, it must be ridiculous for me to become such a senior spirit when I'm so quickly judged to be his equal.
But aesthetics were not just comparable to swordsmanship.
The purpose is different from the sword that was born to be strong in the first place.
“Anyway, thank God! When I first saw her collapse, I was surprised that something was wrong. ”
According to Julia, Sis nods.
“Are you worried about me? ”
“Of course!”
I asked Julia a question.
Suddenly, I remember Julia kissing me when I was playing the unconscious patient.
Yeah, something like that.
I grinned and stroked Julia's head.
“Good boy. Thank you for your concern. ”
“Ma'am, you're welcome! ”
Julia blushes and nods.
At that moment, Sis held out her head, and I had to pat her head.
It was Julia who shot such a cis as if she hated it. Cute things.
Then Arthur opened his mouth.
“Anyway, I'm glad you've become a superior spirit. I'd love to spread the word about this, but what do you think of our Kunt family reputation? ”
“Well, that's what I'm worried about, sir. By throwing a big party to spread the word, the family's notoriety will increase and it will act just as positively politically. But on the contrary.... ”
“You seem to think it's strategically correct to keep it a secret just in case. ”
As Arthur said, I nodded my head.
“Yes. Perhaps we should take the example of the Kars of the Horn Empire, who hid the Master, Earl Halstein, as a card in his spleen. ”
“If they find out you're a higher spirit, they'll be wary of you. He was still a target of the aftermath and was even tried for assassination. ”
We were troubled because both had pros and cons.
The conclusion came from my father.
“Keep it a secret. Our Kunt family is still famous enough. Moreover, what is more important than family decency and political position is the comfort of the royal family. Hide it until the moment you decide. Even if it's not a superior aesthetic, Caroc, you've got enough credit for it. ”
“Yes, Father. ”
“I'll do that. ”
Arthur and I replied.
“By the way, how is it different from before that you have mastered advanced spirituality? ”
My father asked.
“I don't know yet. But there is one clear change. ”
“What's that? ”
“That's it, Noum! ”
I summoned gnome.
- Did you call him?
A cute gnome with a sparrow face on the floor. I pointed to such a gnome and said,
“Our gnome is prettier. ”
- Heh heh, I'm pretty.
Norm smiled and held me in his arms. Even though he grew up, he was still cute as a gnome.
“ ……. ”
Father and Brother Arthur looked at me like I was pathetic.
He stared at me and asked me if he was a higher spirit.
At that moment, I suddenly had an interesting idea.
“Father, I want to check on my achievements, but won't you fight me? ”
My father was flawed by my offer.
“Hmmm! Let's do it another time. I'm busy teaching knights these days. Your knight, Patrick, is under the guidance of this father. ”
“I want to be taught by you, too. ”
The embarrassed father began to sweat cold.
“Yes, and this father is unmanned and bleeding because you've become a superior spirit. Let's fight next time we get a chance. ”
He emphasized ‘next’.
“Isn't this the opportunity? ”
“It's still training time. You're too late. Arthur, let's go! ”
“Yes, Father. ”
My father took a burning fist and left with Arthur. Seeing the tendon rising in my father's forearm with my fist, I had to bear a smile.
It's been a while since I've been alive. You've finally been liberated from your father's violence!
