Theodor put his index finger on the empty space. Every time the finger moved, a yellow glowing line appeared. Theodor moves his fingers without hesitation, and begins to draw a magic circle to connect this office with the land of the Spirit of Light.

“With Van's help, we'll be able to leave exactly at midnight in ten minutes. Louis, be ready."

"Yeah, I got it."

Theodore drew the magic circle dexterously, and his gaze took the pendant out of his pocket without moving from the magic circle.

Then I'll borrow this pendant until I get there.

A pendant is a pendant that I usually wear and that connects Van and me.

According to what Theodore heard from Van, the pendant is connected to the Land of the Spirit of Light through Van's magic.

This time, Theodore, Van, and I will go to the Land of Spirits. For this reason, a larger than usual circuit is required. According to Theodor, this elaborate and difficult task is not impossible because it is an application of the instantaneous movement that I usually use.

Cyril was one step closer to the pendant as he saw that the pale light was gradually beginning to leak out of the pendant due to the spell that Theodor had cast.

"I hope you will return to your former world safely, Your Highness."

"Oh, Cyril took care of me." I'm glad you're here. And I want you to thank Lady Carol as well. "

“Okay, I'll be sure to let you know.”

In my words, Cyril nodded with a serious expression.

Lady Carol and I hadn't been able to meet for the last time for the spirit summoning ritual, but by entrusting it to Cyril, I'm sure she would have conveyed her gratitude.

But there was one thing that got stuck. It's the difference between the Carol Lady in my world and the Carol Lady in this world.

"As a token of my gratitude, I want you to take the candy to Miss Carol."... there's a royal cook named Samuel Emonnier. "

"You're the five men of Baron Emonier. I remember being a chef who was particularly fond of creative dishes.”

"Oh, I'm sure. I need you to make him some sweets and arrange for him to take them directly to Lady Carol."

Cyril frowned strangely at my words.

"... I wonder why."

"I'm grateful to Miss Carol for what I've done."

"Do you like sweets...?"

It's both of them.

--Unusual but delicious sweets. And a chef with a gentle, warm personality who makes it. I don't know what will happen to them in this world. Still, if they only had points of contact, it would be some sort of trigger.

I don't know if their futures will overlap, and I know it's a self-satisfying act.

But it looks like you've gone farther into those two than you think. When I think about it, I naturally smile.

At that time, Theodore's spell stopped.

A momentary silence stood in the middle of the magic circle spreading on the floor of the office, Theodore holding Van.

"Louis, we're all set." Come here before the light goes out. "

"Oh, okay, Cyril, be well."

"Yes, yes! Please, Your Highness... please be well!"

As she stepped into the center of the magic circle, she called out to Cyril, who turned her lonely smile on her face.

Answer Cyril by raising your hand. The light from the magic circle glowed even more powerful, and Cyril's figure in front of her gradually became invisible to the light.

"The light gets stronger. Close your eyes slowly for 10 seconds."

In Theodor's words, when I close my eyes, I count to one, two, three slowly in my heart.

And after counting ten, I opened my eyelids quietly.

Then, it changed from the scene of the office I was in earlier.

The fragrance of the fresh grass and trees spreads all around. In the place where I stand, the moonlit trees make a gentle sound. When I turned my body to look around, I heard the sound of stepping on the dirt from my feet.

"Is this... in the woods?"

Oh, this is the land of the Spirit of Light.

Pounding on my shoulder as I stared into the darkness, Theodore's eyes glowed with excitement.
