Two months have passed since Sigel moved to another world.
In the meantime Sigel was uplifting himself as he went back and forth between the house of Filomena and the town of Taro.
Thanks to this, demons that come out around Filomena's house can be crusaded without the help of the Spirit.
But Philomena has no teeth at all.
Sigel is still trying to get more hand tags while he teaches about combat techniques and magic from Philomena because he doesn't think his limitations have come yet.
By the way, in the meantime, the rank of the Alliance has risen by one, to C-rank.
While Siegel himself grows, he is now at a standstill when it comes to what is happening to the 'Inn of the Spirit'.
We can safely store spiritual stones and increase their size by one step.
However, due to Sigel's dedication since he expanded his size, no major changes had occurred because he was moving a lot of things he had previously positioned, or getting a little bit of a hand.
Of course, as a result of the doubling in size and the increase in natural products, the number of spirits visiting the 'Spirit Inn' has increased compared to before.
Still, in the past half month or so, the number had been overwhelming because there had been no significant changes in the environment.
Most importantly, Sigel didn't want efficiency, so he thought it wouldn't matter.
Sometimes I am not in a hurry because I have already got a sufficient number of spiritual stones.
While the boxyard world is completely transformed into a world of Sigel preference, there was also a change in the Spirit at heart.
First of all, there is a whole lot more spirits, all in four.
The three early spirits who were from the beginning are ranked A-ranked by the lower spirits.
It's just that it's been over three weeks since I got to A-rank and I haven't had enough to grow ahead of it.
To grow any further, we have to evolve into intermediate spirits, but we don't know the conditions for that.
With regard to evolution, it is the current state of the Spirit of the Three Bodies that is in a state of elevation.
And the other newly joined covenant spirits named themselves Sui.
Unlike the early Spirit Trinity, Sui started from the beginning with the lower Spirit's E rank.
In addition, conditions are tighter than in the early spirits when it comes to ranking up.
It is not known at this time whether this condition will be adapted to all the coming covenant spirits.
Anyway, by increasing the number of contract spirits in one piece, there is also more that can be done.
Especially when it comes to peripheral exploration, there was an extraordinary increase in the number of explored areas, as the two were able to turn at the same time.
Nevertheless, it is still up to the Spirit to go as far as he can, without going to the back of the woods, to bring something more rare.

Sigel was checking the "Spirit Inn" log while cooking dinner, as usual.
As spirits who have completed their exploration are naturally unable to report themselves, it becomes important to look at the logs to see what they have taken.
Checking logs is indispensable, especially these days, because it may contain rare objects rather than good ones.
"Hmmm................... What's the difference... is that?
Sigel, watching as he scrolled through the logs, tilted his neck when he saw a certain sentence that was confusing in the second half.
"'Artifacts (?) Discovery', what's this? That's the back of the woods.
I hurried to see where the exploration was, whining so much, but it was still not a mistake.
The place that the spirits were exploring this time would be a forest further back than the place where the house of Philomena is located.
"What are you talking about right now?
That's what I asked Sigel, who thinks with his little neck tilted, as Philomena, who was playing with the rig, approached me.
Philomena waited for Sigel to finish cooking dinner while playing with the Spirit.
"No, it's like Shiro found something strange in the woods."
"Weird stuff?
"Yeah. It's behind the woods on the northwest side, but it's like an artifact, right?
When Sigel said so, Filomena changed her complexion clearly.
Trying to start Filomena showing that much surprise, Sigel immediately guessed if something important was going to happen.
"Oh, where is that!? What is it!?
As Sigel expected, Filomena came closer with a bubble-eaten look and momentum that wasn't strange to grab.
"What!? Um, even if they asked what it was like... the place went about half a day from here, I guess?
Whatever the Spirit actually picked up, what artifact on the boulder (?) I don't know if it is.
All we know so far is that there is something artificial about half a day from where we are now to the northwest side.
Having heard Sigel's answer, Philomena turned out to be just a little contemplative.
"... well. Sigel, do you have plans for tomorrow?
"Huh? No, nothing in particular? Though I was going to spend the same time as usual?
Recently Sigel, after giving instructions to the Spirit, trains in magic and occasionally hunts around demons.
I wasn't even planning on going to town the next day, so if you say there's nothing, there's nothing.
Philomena, who heard Sigel's answer, nodded and then said:
"Right. Then can you show me where the Spirit found the artifact and the doings?
What the Spirit has found cannot be guided without Siegel.
It can also be that Sigel gives instructions and Philomena follows them, but then Sigel better follow them from the beginning.
From what I've heard, it's not the kind of place where demons come out that Sigel can't deal with, so it's euphoric.
"That's fine, of course...... like you have to check in such a hurry?
"Right. But if my expectations are met,"
"Hmmm...... Well, for now, okay."
To Philomena's answer, Sigel nodded, though not sure.
Sigel's perception at this point was that there was a little artifact in the woods.
But the fact that this perception was a big mistake means the next day's investigation (?).
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
And the next day.
After a solid breakfast, Sigel and Filomena were aiming at the artifact of their purpose under Siro's guidance.
Shiro seems to remember the place properly and is firmly on a roadless path.
Sigel and Philomena are the hardest.
The path Shiro is taking is naturally not allowing people to pass, so he manages to go through it while choosing where to go.
Along the way, there were rocks that I couldn't get over, and I had to bypass them.
Still, Shiro seemed to be aiming for a proper destination, which was difficult as the side being guided.
Still, a place called Half a Day at the Spirit's rate of progression was even more time consuming on Sigel's and Philomena's feet.
"- I'm glad you're ready for camp."
Philomena, who was taking a break and lunch, has said so with a sigh of relief.
"Absolutely."
"At this point, if you do it badly, it might be late in the evening to get there."
Even if it's a straight distance and it's half a day, it's taking longer than I thought because I'm walking down a roadless road with obstacles.
By the way, Sigel is no match for Philomena in health, but I am somewhat used to walking down mountain roads, so not so much late.
However, Philomena walks vigilantly around the area so that she won't be struck by surprise against Sigel, so the speed so far is not the highest speed.
As he nodded at Philomena's words, Sigel said as he looked at Siro.
"Shilo, is it still going to take you to get to your destination?
When Sigel asked that, Siro let his tail drip with regret.
Sigel, who found it, accidentally laughed small.
"You don't have to let Shiro fall. And if you walk, you'll get there eventually, so don't worry about it so much."
When Sigel reached out and stroked Siro's head as he said so, Siro shook his tail with joy.
Philomena, who was smiling at the exchange, turned into a tough face.
"The woods are getting deeper and deeper. From here on out, the demons that come out should be a step up."
"Yeah. I'll be careful not to get your feet together. There's a lot of escorts this time."
Now the spirits are just putting sui in the management of "The Spirit Inn," and all they have to do is put on Siegel's escort.
Protecting yourself in perfect condition is not the kind of opponent Siegel alone can very well deal with that demon that he is ahead of him.
You can't just relax in the woods where demons come out, and after lunch Sigel and Philomena left as soon as they finished cleaning up.
After a few hours of walking further, the two finally arrived in front of their destination, the artifact.
