Nh, nh... el... rachel

I was confused and looked around, and I heard a small sound in my ear.

But immediately, the voice changes into a voice that calls my name. When I turned down to follow his voice, there was a black figure that was gurgling at my feet.

"Kuro, you can talk now!" Huh? That means... this place... "

This is the house of the Spirit King!

"Home!? Isn't that the land of spirits?"

Kuro is able to have a conversation, so this must be the only place where the Dark Spirit used to live.

If so, what does Kuro mean by the house of the Spirit King?

It's about the temple! This is where the Spirit King lives. "

- The temple of the land of spirits? "This fine place..."

Master Nell grinned happily at me as I looked around so as not to be rude.

"Damn, this place is like home to me and the spirits." You can stay here for a while. I'll go straight with you on your magic training. "

"Are you here...?" but..... "

Oh, that's a long story, isn't it? It's bothersome to explain... For now, put all your questions to him. They'll do what's around you. ”

Nelle-sama frowned at my reaction, scratching her head and showing me behind her chin.

There was a high-ranking spirit who looked like a black horse and an eight-year-old girl who had put me on his back before.

The spirits like the girl were moving their gaze so restlessly, but when my eyes met, they were shyly hiding behind the black horse.

Well, that's it. I'm going to take a break. "

With that said, Master Nell disappeared in no time.

The black horse politely explained each one to me, who was still left confused and unable to grasp the situation.

This is the land of spirits, and Lady Louis has brought them here as well.

Louis explained that with this environment overflowing with divine magic power, the spirit king himself would recover his body by flowing his magic power little by little every day.

Furthermore, along with the high-ranking spirits, they guided me to a room that would be my temporary residence in the future. It was told that all clothes and food during my stay would be taken care of by high-ranking spirits with a spirit king.

It's been hundreds of years since humans have stayed here. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask the black cat. However, since the Dark Spirit is not used to people, he may rarely appear. "

As Blackhorse said at the end of the explanation, Kuro stayed by my side the whole time and guided me through this temple. However, I rarely saw the High Spirits.

When I noticed, there were meals on the table, and the bathroom was even prepared and dressed.

Sometimes, when I noticed the signs, I looked back, and there was a figure that was sneaking around curiously. However, when my eyes met, they almost disappeared in surprise.

Moreover, when I came here before, I knew only a part of the forest, because it was not fulfilled to look around the land of the Spirit, which is the dwelling place of the Spirit of Darkness.

By staying, I was once again amazed at the size of this land of spirits and the abundance of nature. It was as calm as the palace of flowers I had asked Louis before. In addition, this splendid temple was built on the shore of the lake. It was rented as a room for me and Louis on the other side of the temple.

It's only been three days since I got here, but I don't know if it's really only been three days. For the land of the Spirit is different from the flow of time, and it passeth gently.

Besides, the Lord here is the Dark Spirit King who manipulates time.

I spent most of the last three days in this room, but other than that, Nell invited me to eat with her, and when I introduced the Dark Spirit, she guided me to various places in the forest.

Still, Master Nell was laughing happily about everything that bothered me. That's why I don't know when Louis will wake up, or what the game is about. And you haven't even told me the purpose of bringing me here.

--Still, now I have no choice but to believe in the Dark Spirit King...

Looking at Louis' face, who kept falling asleep without changing his expression, he thought about it.

Then, suddenly, I was slapped on the shoulder, and my body twitched.

Hey, are you listening to me?

When I raised my face, there was a Nell-like figure that looked grumpy.

You, you've got a good guts to leave me alone.

"And, that's ridiculous!" Leave the Spirit King alone, etc. "

"Look, I'm going back to that stubborn way of calling you again. I told you to call me by my name."

I'm sorry to hear that, too.

Well, that's fine. It would be good to have you here to spare time. Rather, I'll take you somewhere nice today!

Huh?

What I found out when I came here was that Master Nell dropped by when I felt like it, and when I got tired of it, he went somewhere. It's like a cat.

While stroking Kuro's head, which is still round on my lap, I feel like it's similar somewhere, and it makes me smile bitterly.

“Where are you going?”

That's what you'll enjoy when you get there. I'm sure you'll be amazed!

Master Nell rushed to me, “Look, let's go” with a bright smile on his face. Nell stood up holding Kuro with her neck tilted, wondering where she was going next time.

The other day, because I felt like it, I was involved in the practice of dark magic. But it seems to be different today. Descend a long long staircase that seems to lead to the basement of the temple.

I observed the surroundings from behind Nel as I felt the refreshing chill along with the tranquility.

I've never thought of bringing anyone here.

"Why did you send me to such a place?"

I was surprised. I wondered how you'd react if I showed you this room, and I couldn't even stand there. ”

Down the stairs was a large, sturdy door. Nelle-sama looked back at the door as she stroked it with love, her eyes shining.

She looks like a child who secretly showed me her precious treasure. The innocent and innocent behavior had a face that I believed would please me when I saw it.

Come on, let's go.

The moment the door opened, a dazzling and intense light leaked out of the room.

However, as soon as I stepped into the room to follow Master Nell, the room was instantly wrapped in darkness.

At the same time, countless stars suddenly appeared above my head, and the night sky was filled with vision.

"What the hell is this......"

This is my favorite playground.

Not even knowing the depth of the room, Nell gave a soft smile in the starry sky.
