Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden

I'll show you from here on out.

I looked around at a voice I couldn't hear. Then, the eyes met Theodore with a strange look on her face.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"No... what's your voice now?"

What are you doing? We don't have much time.

Van was at the end of the wandering gaze to find out where his voice was. With countless starry skies in the dark, Van was flying overhead with his big wings spread out.

Could it be that Van is talking?

"Oh, I see. Louis is the first one to hear Van's voice. Isn't that what you see in his voice?"

Looking at me in amazement, Theodore grinned at Van.

"Does Theodore always hear spirits talking like this?"

"Oh, that's right. The Spirit understands human language, but the human side doesn't, does it? That's why it seems that there are many things that bother the spirit side as well."

”... you're going to talk about the troubles of the spirits?”

Theodor, who still couldn't see the bottom, inadvertently smiled bitterly. However, without the leisure to think about it for such a long time, Van speeded up to rush ahead.

"Hey, there's no time to waste." Run a little faster. "

"Is there a space-time room in the woods like this?"

Yes, the chamber of time and space managed by the Spirit King of Light exists in a remote place in the temple where the Spirit King lives.

Separated? Then it's possible that other spirits will find out about it, right?

"I want to think that the area is okay..." According to Van's prior information, even in the temple, the other spirits are basically unaccompanied in the distance where the space-time room is. Besides, since I arrived here, Louis and I have been using magic with alienation. "

"...... When? Or can you use such a technique?"

Haha, well...

Theodore ran along with Van, but stared at us with a stern face.

"You really can't eat, can you?"

"Again, Louis is always counting on me."

Well, I don't think you want to be the only enemy.

Theodore spurted out to answer me as I ran in parallel. Theodore laughed jokingly as she laughed at him.

While running in line for a while, Theodore pointed forward with a bouncing voice as if he had found something in the distance.

"Oh, look, I can see the lights."

Aiming for a slight orange light in the gap between the trees, Van speeds up and dives smoothly through the trees.

We'll go faster and follow you, too, so you don't leave us.

At the end of the road, a small stone building was built.

"Could this be...?"

Ah, here we are. beyond this door.

There's a space-time room here, isn't there?

A van on my shoulder nods as it folds its wings.

You don't have the keys?

Of course I do, but I don't have it.

You don't have it? What do you mean?

"Even though I arrived in front of you, I can't let you in..."

”Don't worry, I'll be fine. The chambers of time and space are of paramount importance to the Spirit King. That is why all spirits cannot come and go freely because they are the Spirits of Light. That's why this time, I had the help of a high-ranking spirit with a key."

A high-ranking spirit with a key? When I first heard it, I accidentally turned to Theodor.

Theodore had already listened to Van, and was combing his arms and hammering each other.

What about the High Spirit?

There you are.

Before Van turned his face, a boy sat in a space where there was no sign of anything.

"When did you..."

A boy about ten years old has long silver hair, yellow eyes and a gentle smile. He took a vigorous step forward without concern for my confusion.

I've heard all the stories from your contract spirit, the hawk. You are the prince of Dutois, caught in the mischief of the Dark Spirit King?

"Hah, it's nice to meet you...... I'm......"

I greeted the High Spirit in front of me as I tried to grasp the situation while fully rotating my head. I tried to introduce myself continuously, and the high spirit boy was dominated by his hand.

No, I don't need to introduce myself. I know you from the beginning. Instead, you should return to your world before the king finds out. ”

Even though I met him for the first time, Theodor took a step closer to the boy, as if to send a boat of help to me, who was perplexed by his friendly attitude everywhere.

"Van said it. The Spirit King might not even lend a hand because he doesn't like to come into contact with humans. Is it true that you, a high-ranking spirit close to the spirit king, are of the same opinion?"

Of course.

“So why are you helping me? Van is Louis' contract spirit, so I know you're working for Louis. But you're different, aren't you? Isn't it going to be against the will of the Spirit King?"

In response to Theodore's question, the boy lowered his eyebrows while scratching his shiny silver hair.

"Sure... that might happen." The king does not want the spirits to fall into the hands of men. "But it's important for the prince of Dutwa..." I don't know if this is the right choice, but when I asked the hawk what happened, I wanted to help you. That's why I decided to trust my instincts to help you. ”

I can't feel any lies in the boy's straight eyes.

I even see the intention of not wanting to bend my beliefs, even though I will betray the king I am to serve.

I can feel my chest burning with the merciful gaze of the High Spirit who met me for the first time.

"... thank you, your help will never be forgotten."

Now then, please make sure that the people of Dutwa can always feel the Spirit close to them. And I want you to cherish nature so that the spirits can live in this forest in the future. I want you to remember that our Spirit of Light always coexists with the people of Dutois. ”

Absolutely.

The high spirit nodded vigorously to me and gave me a frank smile like a child who looked the same.

I'm relieved. Now, let's unlock it. "

When the boy took out his staff, a light appeared from it.

A heavy door appears on the wall covered with bricks. And then I heard a click of the lock.

Please come in.

He swallows his spit at the boy's gentle words and puts his hand on the door.
