The sound of a stringed instrument I've heard before.

Far away, I heard it before I was reborn.

The sound of the strings that are played never stops ringing.

Fine vibrations shake in your chest, resonating and echoing through your heart.

It's an old, frayed, monotonous sound.

A spell of world creation.

As soon as I heard the words of the High God of Fire, the strings rang.

... a person who is qualified to do it will do the magic.

His words, the sacrament of Jerez, keep this heart deeply scratching the brain.

Ask the same guards as when you arrived to escort you out of the building. Dark, long, cavernous corridors.

I went outside the Patandale Museum. The sound of the string still doesn't stop.

The sound of old memories evokes remorse and bitterness in previous generations. It leads to the loss of the second family, the village compatriots, who were born again.

I always try to fall asleep in the depths of my chest, but the sound of the strings is disturbing me and rising to the surface.

My throat is sore and my whole body is tight.

Scared of pain, he shakes his body with pity, and still jumps into the night sky.

Turning to the Duke's Palace, the heavy clouds that covered the sky were fading and melting away in the north.

... the first time I cast a spell, it was obvious.

The night I took revenge on Brigar, I remembered Melilla and chanted a scripture passage.

"May I become a good spirit, and be with the gods forever."

The passage that mourned the dead happened to be a spell that summoned the Wind Spirit because I had the Wind Magic Utensil and it became a voice, in other words, a chant.

But at that time, I didn't expect to summon any spirits. I didn't know how to summon her either. Therefore, the summoned spirit was still a half human spirit of a small child.

The casual words usually uttered in the scriptures suddenly transformed into magic spells. That's because I got the Wind Enchantment. Because I got a part of that qualification.

At that time, I felt like the soul of Melilla had guided me... "

No, that sentiment is not wrong either. Because that night, when you left the city of Elistard, the moon god who had her appearance appeared before me for the first time.

I was qualified to cast magic spells. And for the first time, I did it. Isn't that an opportunity for him to come into contact?

On the way back, the Dark Spirit didn't come. Spirits who guarded the Book of Prohibition and the Lord God are still secretly hiding.

Looking at the northern sky, soft moonlight shines from the clouds.

He slowed down and floated into the sky.

Do you see the moon beyond the pure cotton?

Desio's laughing face, what he said.

The sacrament of the Cathedral Church, that word in the verse of world creation.

... yes, I know.

With five magic tools: wind, fire, water, earth, and gold, and knowing the world of my previous life, I gained a new genesis magic.

Although it is limited, it is the power to create the "world" like the Lord God Jerez.

Until now, I hadn't cast any spells to activate it. "The world" is the only world I know in this world. There was no such spell anywhere.

Beyond the thin glowing clouds, the moon is invisible. Lelya doesn't show up.

It's a quiet night without anyone, unlike when we destroyed Brigar.

... yes, I know.

Gently, I'll try to utter the sacrament that everyone knows.

"I declare, heaven and earth." I think, there is light. "

At that moment, a flash of light flashes through my sight. The heavens and the earth are torn apart, and the space is torn apart──.

... it's really dangerous.

"Fufu"

Unexpectedly, a laugh comes up.

That spell was still revealed, my "world".

A much bigger world.

After a slight moonlight, I started flying north again towards the Duke's Palace.

The sound of the strings, which seemed to have stopped once, had not yet disappeared. He rose again from the depths of his heart and shook his ears.

Twice or three times, I shake my head, but the sound doesn't go out. I clench my fist and put it on my chest.

... the old memories are ringing.

The sacrament of the creator god Jerez was synchronized with my consciousness and the memory of the previous world.

Two different worlds overlap at one point.

"That's..."

Quiet, nothing at night.

Hmm?

The grounds of the Duke of Dielard's residence spread out.

The roof of the mansion rose vaguely from amongst the black sinking trees.

On top of that was a giant cat monster. A cat about the size of a dragon was sitting in a box, wiping his face with his forefoot and scratching his hair.

... Lucatos!

The giant psychic cat was Lucatos, Leni's contract spirit.

"That guy."

My husband told me to watch over you, didn't he?

"Don't be afraid of me and don't show up all the time..."

Lucatos licked his forefoot in disorder, wiping his face── and licked his forefoot again. It was no different from a real cat, and it was frizzy.

……

As I approached while falling from the air, I turned only one ear towards me, and it faded and disappeared so that it could be seen through the background.

As it stood, it descended on the roof of the mansion where he was.

“What did he want to do?”

I just happened to see you.

Sword Master

As I twisted my neck, I suddenly heard Federica's voice behind me.

"There were a lot of suspicious people around the mansion. We've got Urula on the lookout."

Oh, I see.

"Please come to the courtyard."

Yeah.

Federica asked as she replied, looking back at Lucatos as he sat in the box.

"What's wrong with that wild cat?"

"Wildcat?... no, he's always scared of me and rarely shows up."

Hmmm.

Federica said with a thin smile.

"It was originally just a wild cat entering and exiting the backyard of Yveda's palace." The ladies are stopping in front of me, and I'm just getting cute, and I'm getting better. "

……

That's why you're scared of me, isn't it?

"Fufu"

But Federica knew Lucatos.

"Come on, swordsman."

Federica said, spreading her right hand toward the courtyard.

Yeah.

... yeah?

Suddenly, I burned my neck.

What's the matter?

Federica looks a little weird.

No.

... disappeared.

At some point, it was gone. Um, the string sounds.

”Ho ho ho”

A sprawling courtyard of the Dielard mansion, the east corner of which is unpopular.

Federica took me to a corner of the courtyard, surrounded by large and small trees, with the domed roof of the east house (Azumaya).

Pyrtha and Puri's favorite, Ishur, used to be a frequent visitor. Urula waited in the meadow in front of the east house.

Beside her, several humans and spirit-like objects were buried in the soil from the neck down or from the part like it, bound by the magic power of the soil.

Each person is arranged in a row at appropriate intervals.

Wand, these are the bandits who broke into the Mansion.

Urura said in a slightly tongued tone, as usual.

"How about we help you?"

Ah, ahh

Um, I wonder if that was a bad idea.

Federica, who was standing beside Ishur when he showed him a grim, wiggling look, said in shock.

"No, it's okay." Well done. "

... I didn't mean to capture you. It would have been nice if you had been properly wearing it and getting rid of it.

Ishur smiled at Federica and Urula, and nodded several times.

But it was my first night in the Holy City. It's not a bad idea to find out who broke into the Duke's residence.

They captured the intruder for the same reason.

And Ishur went on, and lifted up his neck from the ground, and looked upon them that fell silently.

There are four human beings in front of them, and the one-shaped spirits collapse into one shape, and the indistinct spirits are arranged in one line.

"Hey, you."

He bent down and began to interrogate the young man who was lying down in front of him.

……

The man turns his back and does not reply.

Shoulder-to-shoulder clothes exposed from the ground are worn by most city dwellers. Sleeveless vest on round neck shirt, no disgrace.

Is she about in her mid-twenties? Her face is mediocre and nothing is particularly eye-catching. Now the sky is clear and the moon is bright. I can fully understand the night vision.

You don't belong to the Shinjo Cathedral, do you?

... the man is obviously a professional, but not a member of the royal family or the church. I somehow understand the atmosphere.

Don't you want to be hired by some nobleman or merchant?

Probably through the mercenary guild, hunters hired around the hardliners of the cathedral. Even though it is buzzing about the possession of the forbidden book, the previous year's conspiracy of Bionat and the civil conflict over the succession to the throne are not to be compared. The shrine and the nobility will not move.

Even if they're moving, they're watching more carefully and from a distance.

... I'm not the only one at the Dielard mansion. Mira was back, and in addition to the Duke's mages, there were Rifia, Reni, and Nina. It was like a nest of terrifying monsters, and anyone who knew anything about it would never think of doing anything about it.

Well, listen.

The man was still silent, but Ishur looked next to him, and saw the other men lining up out of the dirt, and said,

"This mansion is not something you can do." I don't want to torture or kill you, and I'll let you go tonight, so don't come any closer. Tell it to your employer. "

And he stood before the two spirits that stood beside him.

"Now, you guys..."

The one-shaped spirit to the right is a young man or woman with long hair divided in the middle and feathers growing from the back, or a wind spirit whose gender is not clear. The angelic wings are folded and almost buried in the soil.

Unlike humans, he/she turned her gaze straight to Ishur. The disfigured spirit next to it is so weak that it hardly reacts. I wasn't sure which system of spirits I was in.

... these are the spirits that are under contract with the wizard. If you have a wizard, it's reasonable to think of him as a step ahead of those who hire mercenaries.

"Tell the other wizard, too." There's no next time. "

That said, it's the same if you're not a big opponent. Besides, the situation is not so dire that we have to deal with them seriously.

"This is the end." Throw them out of the mansion. "

When Ishur said that to Federica and Woollahra, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards the back and the dome-shaped east house.

... there's another infiltrator over there.

I saw a figure sitting on a bench in the east house.

That's...──

"Throw them out of the Mansion first."

And Ishur blocked Federica, and commanded her, and walked slowly toward the east house.



Behind them, the magic of the wind swirls, and the dust dangles slightly. The captured men screamed silently and floated in the air.

The two spirits were lifted up in the same way, and everyone was bound by the magical power of the wind hardened in a band, and flew to the west of the Mansion, towards the Rugoubel Canal.

When they disappeared from sight, the person who was waiting in the East House slowly came out.

She looks like a girl, but there is no color or texture. Her body is pale and translucent.

He wasn't human.

"This evening, Mr. Ishur."

The spirit was Lena, a fragment of Nizza's twin spirits. She called Ishur directly by his name.

Oh, did you say Lena?

Ishur smiled slightly, shrugging his shoulders, as if it were just another night.

Is it your husband's?

"Yes, it's the left side." My princess gave me her life. "

Lena bent down and greeted Ishur with a broken knee. The mouthpiece was also strange.

However, on the back of his face, he had a distorted smile that made him laugh.

From the left side of Ishuru, Urura came forward. From the right, Federica came back to the Mansion a little late.

Both of them are more nervous than before.

"Where should I go now? The Shogunate?"

Ishur said to Lena in a discouraged manner.

... it's already late at night. "I'm tired from all this today..."

I don't care about his disrespectful attitude. It was also troublesome to deal with.

"The princess is already on holiday." I will come back tomorrow night, two minutes after sunset (around 10pm). How about that? "

Lena's mouth twisted even further to see what was so funny.

Fine. We don't have much time.

Deception by creating a counterfeit of Nizza's stolen scrolls, or masquerading the raid before it's time to scroll, robbing several forbidden objects, including the scroll in question. In any case, it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare under the workmanship.

“Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me.”

Lena dropped her hips again and lowered her head. She gradually dispersed from her feet and disappeared.

"Damn, bugs spit."

Federica said angrily from the side.

"Rude is that guy." Can I go first for a while? "

Contrary to the appearance of a mischievous boy, Federica is a stubborn spirit.

Meanwhile, Urura, who is always modest, looks at her partner with a slightly uneasy face, feeling like, "Don't stop doing that."

"No, no, leave me alone."

Ishur turned his back toward the Mansion and said, waving one hand.

... anyway, I'm sleepy.

Not now.

I didn't expect to bite off the stretch, so I spoke up.

The real opponent was the spirit god behind them. There might be another one in the future.

... bright.

From the closed eyelids, the blurred light is clear.

It's already morning.

Beyond the bed, there was a voice. There are a few of them.

"I still want to sleep..."

It's been a long time, and it's the softest, most comfortable sleep I've ever had.

"──My lord, I wonder if it's you again." You really don't have to be alarmed or anything. "

"Oh, I'm surprised to hear that." Why is Refia-san so rushed in the morning? "

"Won't you freak out?... no, that must be Mira-sama." It was dangerous this time. If I had jumped in a little later, what would have happened? "

... oh, this is...

Outside, Refia and Mira are arguing.

It's the usual one, isn't it?

Ishur opened his thin eyes as he murmured in his mouth.

The book hanging from the canopy of the bed, the thin silk in front of her is disturbed, and she sees the outside. I could see part of Mira's crimson dress.

When I suddenly looked at my hands, the comforter was unnaturally rolling up.

... I see. Mira did this. You tried to get into my bed.

"I can't do it anymore. I'm not very comfortable, but I can't sleep."

Ishur had a heavy stretch when he woke up his upper body.

"Fufu, good morning. Mira, Rifia"

And when they had turned the book, they leapt up, and were astonished, and dyed their cheeks, and said, Morning.

"It's a nice day, Ishur." You must be tired from yesterday's day, but sleeping is not good. "

“We prepare breakfast among the roses. I'll be waiting for you."

Liffia and Mira said that and quickly left Ishur's bedroom.

Instead, Romile came in with a change of clothes.

"Romir, again?" It's been bought. "

When Ishur said in a sharp voice, Romir turned pale and said back in a shivering voice.

"It's not an acquisition. I was threatened."

This was the second time that we had interacted with each other.

Ishur suddenly turned pale and said he was sorry.

"I see.... I'm sorry all the time because of me."

There was a strong scent of tea among the small roses.

Bright sunlight streams into the windows of the room, creating a shadow with a clear outline.

It was closer to noon than in the morning.

“I know you're tired from a long trip, but I'm not impressed with breakfast anymore.”

As Ishur sat at the dinner table and cheeked the white bread, Rufizzo, who was looking through the paperwork across the street, said with a difficult face.

"Well, oniisan-sama." Ishur-sama is really tired. It's been a long time since we slept in a decent bed. ”

"We, right?"

Romeo, sitting next to Rufizzo, muttered softly as he drank his tea.

"Haha, no, I'm sorry. It's getting late."

Nah.

From the side, Liffia joined the fight.

"Ishur, you don't have to worry about getting sick." I'll wake you up every day from tomorrow. "

Huh?

Mira let out a fervent voice and stared at Refia.

"That's no good." I am the one who wakes Ishur. "... even at night.──"

Ah, by the way...

Ishur suddenly blocked Mira's words so that she could cover herself from the top.

"How are your wives, Pilsa and Puri?" I haven't seen your face since last night. Are you packing it in the tower of the moon god? "

The Tower of the Moon God in the Imperial Castle, also known as the "Tower of the Mage", houses the headquarters of the Mage Corps of the King's House, and has been packed with court magicians since normal times.

After the fall of the nobility, Pirsa and Puri, twin girls with special fire and water magic tools, were first seen by the sergeant of the Duke of Dielard, and also twin brothers Rufizio and Romeo, and were to be married.

Pirsa and Puri were formally adopted by the Duke of Sandellini the other day, and now, as the newest court wizard, they are dedicated to their daily duties. It is said that they will soon be engaged and will soon be holding a ceremony.

Oh, you two.

Romeo glowed and stepped forward. Apart from the misplaced conversation, it went well.

"Pilsa and Puri are now going to Lerond in the Mid-sea."

Rufizzo came in losingly.

I'll be back by the end of the year.

“Lulund is a royal outpost in the wetlands of the south. I've been there in my apprenticeship."

Oh, I see.

In order to gain experience, the young court wizards and apprentices of the House of the Kings are regularly dispatched to areas where many beasts emerge, such as the wetlands in the southern part of the country, where many rivers form countless deltas bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and also the mountainous areas in the southeast.

Pirsa and Puri were also sent to the Southern Great Delta to work hard.

Later, Rufizzo and Romeo took Leni up to the royal castle, and Ishur was introduced by Mira to Narea Sivoli, who acted as a knight commander at the duke's residence instead of Dario, who returned to the territory. She had tea with the mage chief, Colette and others, and walked around the courtyard with Rifia and Nina, and spent the day relaxing and relieving the fatigue of her journey.

And it came to pass, early in the evening, that Ishur went unto the cathedral of Adair, which was in the city of the king's city, before his promise unto Nizzah.

I wanted to say hello to Sybil, the temple's head, but before I could do so, I wanted to meet Adrienne, the water spirit that protects the temple.

Yesterday she passed nearby during the day, but she disappeared without a trace. Since then, Ishur has been curious.

Leaping over the canal from the roof of the mansion, it was still shallow at night, and we arrived at Adale Cathedral in no time without anyone interfering or being subjected to explicit surveillance.

……

As Ishur stood still on the spire of the cathedral, he glanced around, sighed and dropped his shoulder.

"Adelia, Nu is not coming out."

... that's right, I can feel her signs, but I'm still not responding.

Why are you so sloppy?

Did I do something to dislike you?

It was quite shabby. Is it swollen by bending the navel?

I managed to get the Water Magic Hardware.

Adelia!

Ishur couldn't help but call out her name out loud.

"Oops."

Soon, the magic of the water swirls beneath my feet, and the pale spirits glowing from its center appear.

When the blue light glistened around, the city noise at night suddenly disappeared, and the pure night air covered the whole body.

"W-what is this?"

A long-haired, beautiful water spirit knelt before Ishur.

Yo, Izumi-san, what's the matter with you calling me?

And the spirits hardened themselves, and said patiently in a strong voice.

She was exactly that Adelia Nu.
