When I woke up, it was real.
My head still feels dizzy, but I feel better than the first time because it is the second time.
"Remesh! -"
"Ex...!
It was Mira who spread out her arms to hug me when I woke up slowly, but the person who moved faster than her was scared and hardened.
"Nh... ah, ah, Arthur...?
"Good...!But you, no, not now...!Anyway, good!
With tears in his eyes, Arthur slaps his best friend back into reality on the shoulder.
"Hah... at all.You're a totally unreliable leader, and you're in deep shit. "
Merlin repeatedly slapped Ex with his wand.
She must have been very worried about her.
Mira slowly lowered her lost momentum arms.
I look at her with a smile. [M]
"I'm home."
Then she turned away from her slightly dissatisfied face and smiled like a flower.
"Yes, welcome back."
We'll stare at each other for a while.
"That's right....!Leme! "
Arthur's voice.
"Thank you, Reme. Thank you sincerely....!I'll never forget this. "
"I would also like to thank you very much for your best choice.Thank you for what?I'll prepare anything I can.Anything, fufufufu.... "
Arthur tears as Merlin pushes her chest up.
I felt a cold air coming from Mira-san next door.
"Never mind.If you want to thank me, I've already got it. "
When I saw Mr. Ex, I saw him right in front of me.We laugh at each other with satisfaction.
Yeah, that's a good story.It was fun, too. Now, should we get back to the rewards?
I can hear voices coming from lumps of light that have reappeared from nowhere.Spirits.
Let's go in clear order ~! First, I'm hungry, brown tits.
Mr Fulcus pointed at the ball of light, looking at me without his usual expression.
"Ask for permission to destroy."
Ahahah, I can't.Don't make me say it again.Well, that's you. [M]Well done on fighting your samurai heights and endless appetite!You can just remember the reward and talk about it. "
Mr. Fulcus held his spear, but saw me again in the words of the Spirit.
When I nod, she pulls her chin too. [M]
"... ho ho ho.No matter how many spirits it is, I will give you an item that is as close to your ideal as possible.With this, you'll be able to do even more... that's great!
If you think that white smoke has risen, it will soon clear up.
At Mr Fulcus' feet... a big silver lid - the one covered in food in a restaurant or something - appeared.
Mr. Fulcus sat on the floor, touched the lid and stopped for a few seconds.
And when I opened the lid, there was a hamburger that warmed me up.
Not only that, but also bread and soup, plus dishes.
Ah, I don't care if they see me.I'll tell you what, say this is a "dome cover for everything", and when you remember what you want to eat with the lid down, you can reproduce it if it fits under the lid!--That said, the time from scraping up the magic in the air to making it is different, and the taste and texture are reproduced, but since it is magic, there is no nutrition.Funny, isn't it?
Mr Fulcus is not listening.I'm crazy about Hamburg.
"Taste depends on your memory, so you can eat as much as you like.If possible, use it in a place with intense magic... hey, haven't you changed it about ten times during this conversation...?
In an instant, Mr. Fulcus lowers the lid and raises it.This repetition.
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem to be enough to get a full stomach... in the case of humans (normal).
Mr. Fulcus' race is a demon.It is believed that food is converted into strength and regenerative ability.
If you put a lump of magic in your belly and you can convert it...?
No, I suppose I can.
It would be useful for a species called demons if it were a waste of effort to refine magic into food.
... but this is obviously a magic tool, is it belonging to the Spirit or did you just make it?
In the latter case... the common sense of mankind will come back.
Because the species that can create magic instruments have been destroyed, so no more new magic instruments will be created.
Then the Spirit laughs, "Don't worry about it."
... have you read your mind?
Next, the second shiny [Holy Knight]!I was surprised to hear you say "Dreams come true, not spirits" with a crisp face.And I mean it. So, what do you want?
"I don't need it. An evil spirit."
Spirits have neither good nor evil, and contracts are absolute.You can read it on your own.... ahh, it's too abstinent.How old are you...?You're such a sweet little girl, don't you notice your friend's shield...?
Arthur put his hand on the handle of the Holy Sword.
Hey, you guys are all impatient.... ah, a sword.Very well, here's your reward!"Magic Sheath."An incredibly useful ability for the owner not to get hurt while the Holy Sword is in this sheath!Hey, that's amazing! "
"... you will fight with your sword in battle."
Ufufu
There was smoke again, and when it cleared up, a sheath appeared in front of Arthur.In the case of magical instruments like this, the size is often adjusted automatically.I'm sure this sheath is too.
The ability is great, but it seems difficult to use due to the conditions.
Let's go next!Uh, uh... you.A nerd with hard eyes. "
The spirits say something that seems a little disgusting.
"I'll chop it up.
Oh, I'm scared.The scariest thing was that I started telling the dream [Black Mage] the real charm and stopped. "
"Hey you....!Respect your privacy...!
Mira-san's face is a little red.
"I don't know if you want to paint your lust... but I think you'll just have to give it to the [black magician] there."
"Will you shut up?That's not true, Reme-san, I don't have any evil thoughts about wanting Reme-san's used products...!
Mira-san glanced at the spirit and explained with a bright red face.
"Uh-huh...."
Used...? I don't want to know more about it.
Hmm. I don't want anything like what I'm going to give you.... oh, there's one.Phew... you're really [black magician]... "
"I'm so angry...?
Yes, yes, it's a pleasure.I'm almost there. "
Then my body was wrapped in light.
It will settle down soon, but nothing has changed in particular.
I made it happen.
"... if you don't find out, it's the same as hiding nothing...!
Er, but humans like to do things that glow and glow, don't they?If not, don't think it doesn't taste good. "
"... gu. What an unpleasant spirit...!
Mira-san told me she'd find out, but I couldn't even think about it.
When she looks at me and tries to laugh, she looks as if the shame has won.
--Ah.
I realize her wish there.
Her chest gets hot and her face breaks naturally.
Well then ~ ~ Ah, what a dream [wizard].
"If you want to give me a reward, I'll take it."
Likes! This is what I wanted!In your case ~, yes, let's do this.
For a moment, Merlin's wand glowed.
I've given you protection.As long as you use it, the wand instantly compresses and conducts magic.Looks like you've eliminated the disadvantages of using a wand and enhanced the benefits!You must be so happy ~
"What is my primary purpose?
Merlin wants to be reunited with the spirits she saw when she was young.
No, I looked into your memory, but I don't know who that is.
"... I see."
"That's why you strengthened your wand, right?
"Is it a legitimate reward?
How much? Well, I guess.It's time to get bored, next.You... "
"All you have to do is think of what Citrix wants in your head.
Intercept the voice of the Spirit, said Mr Citry.
I smiled as usual, but I felt that my smile was hard.
...... I see.Wish me luck. Hmm, okay.Make it come true. "
The smoke came out again and quickly disappeared.
What appeared was a picture book.I don't have the cover.
Citriy-san rolls up, but the inside looks pure white.
It's a picture book of the dwarf. When you wish for what you want, the ingredients are written on the page.So, the last page turns black, right?I put the ingredients there and I swallowed them, so I waited all night and the next morning I could get what I wanted on top of the book!
"... heh"
Implement all the "cuteness" in your head!It's an excellent way to pinpoint the image of "I want something like this"!By the way, if you don't want it, the ingredients won't come up and you won't swallow anything, so be careful. "
We'll need the ingredients for later.
It is possible to create things with magic like Fulcus's dome cover, but it will disappear in a short amount of time and become foggy.
I see.
Mr. Citry likes cute things.
Given her transformative abilities, she can prepare herself for battle every time.
It was a nod to want magic tools that could be used in everyday life.
The reaction is thin. Next, I made my wish come true, so I dyed my appearance, magic and heart black.
"That's a lot to say...."
Even though I dropped out once, I managed to hold it back.I'll give you a reward.What do you want?
"Then I want you to fulfill Lemé's wish with my right to wish."
Eh, speaking up, the conversation goes on.
Er? Are you sure?I thought you needed something useful to make your dream come true.
"I already have everything I need.Just one Holy Sword with your friends. "
Ex says to the Spirit with a smile that feels fresh.
"... oh my, it's purified.Looks like you're serious. Yeah, that's fine.But hey, Omochiro-kun hates me ~ "
The Spirit says as it floats around me. [M]
If you forgive me, I'll give you protection ~
"It's not me who decides whether to forgive you, but the people of the troubled village.I just don't like you.If you still want to make a wish. "
It would be rude of him not to use it until Mr. Ex had transferred his rights to me.
... there was a part of the world of dreams where he didn't do everything he could because he thought he was going to do it, but he seemed to know.
And if you're going to give me the right to make a wish instead of thanking me, I'd appreciate it.
That's why I don't want this Spirit to help me on my way to the brave.
"... if you say so?
I saw Mira for a moment.
She sifts her head to the side.He knows what I'm going to say.
I'm sure she'll say the same thing she wanted.
"May my loved ones live healthily."
Uh-uh. Ufufu.Ahahah. You're such a delightful girl. "
"Is it beyond the reach of the Spirit?
No way......! I just need to adjust.Subjects will be protected from weakness.If you're an important person, it's too broad, so... let's be lovers. [M]Everything is foreseeable to the Spirit... yeah, this number is fine. "
The spirits continued to giggle.
"Your loved ones are less likely to get sick, less likely to suffer misfortune, less likely to be attacked by despair.However, this is a protection against irrationality, not a promise of happiness.For example, it's hard for people to catch a cold, but sometimes I get weak and catch a cold when I use my body badly. "
There are many kinds of protection.
In modern times, it mainly refers to the Holy Sword and Spiritual Art given by the Spirit to the [Warrior], but it originally meant the various forces that heaven's presence gives.
That's why it's not inconsistent to have an uncontracted presence like Arthur.
The so-called lucky person may also benefit from some kind of existence.
"That's fine."
"... it looks like you're serious.I made it happen. Ah, since there was a claim, there was no glowing performance.Ah, I'm sorry.
The Spirit said such a thing while flying around Mira-san who was distracted.
"Kh...."
Ahahah. If you hadn't complained, you might have glowed. "
"Gunu...."
Mira-san stares at the Spirit with a regrettable face.
Well then, that's it...!By the way, I can still accept other participants, but I can't challenge them twice. "
That said, the lump of light disappeared.
"You didn't show us who you really are until the end...Well, let's go home. "
Merlin says boringly.
I looked around, but I was ready to go home with what the Spirit had given me.
"Yeah, I don't see anything but you."
... I knew it.
Lumps of light disappeared, but at the same time black... chicks appeared.
It's adorable to slap a small wing and jump, but it's complicated to think that the spirit is inside.
You like chicks. My first impression with you... no, it seemed like it was good before the trial... so I guess it's my second impression.The second impression seemed to be bad, so I thought I'd match it to your taste first. "
I don't understand why this spirit cares about my impressions.
And why did you think you liked chicks...
I really don't know why......?
…………
As I said earlier, I...
Can't spirits bother people be brave?Oh, yeah, but it's crap.Even the four great spirits were not on the side of people from the beginning.Even your best friend's spirits have troubled people before.Safe because you didn't know?Or did my best friend disqualify as a brave man the moment I found out?
Even so, the Spirit of Fire proved to be on the side of mankind for a long time.What about you?
I'll give you about your life.It's up to you whether you want to end this with a spirit that has troubled people, or a spirit that has become an ally of [Black Magus] 's hero. "
- Why me?
I've always liked to peek into the dungeon strategy, but I'm interested in what happens to people like you.Spirits are all like that.Living with curiosity.It's a contract with the hero, because it depends on whether or not you want to see how that person lives. "
The Spirit seems to know more about the contract criteria of the Spirit than I do.If that's the case, maybe it is.
― ― It is common sense of mankind that we can't stand a contract with the Spirit unless we are brave men...
That's about right.I can't even make a deal with you. [M]It's a problem that can't be helped by effort. "
[Brave] is out of standard.
[Demon King] If you don't have it, it's impossible if you don't have enough to win on a single horse.
Originally, I couldn't stand the exercise of spirituality.
A special human being who can withstand it is the [brave].
"Physical strength is less than usual, and multiple surgical methods are used to fix horns. If you can't make a contract, not only can the body not stand it, but it also interferes with the surgical technique... ufufu, your body is pumping."
I wonder why it seems a little fun.
Anyway, I can't make a deal with the Spirit.
And yet, it's like a contract...
--Besides, like Arthur... no, wait a minute.
"Eh ~? The sword I got from my dad is of that quality, right?As soon as the Spirit protects you, it's the Holy Sword.
The Holy Sword is a weapon that holds the protection of the Spirit.I don't mind if it was rusty.Protect and turn into a weapon worthy of the Holy Sword.
--Quality has nothing to do with it.I like this sword.
Performance is important, right?Even if you're aiming for a brave man, you can't tell me that it doesn't matter if the weapon is good or bad, right?
……
There was no occasion to use this sword this time.I'm not strange because I'm in the back and my friends are good, but even if I actually used it, it wouldn't have made sense for the monster in this dungeon.
If I were to slash a giant, it would have broken once, no matter what Kensei used.
Even something very important and iconic to me cannot be disputed if it is said to be worthy as a weapon.
A human who has succeeded the horn of the [Demon King] and mastered black magic.Well done for your lack of talent.You've worked hard, but it's all hard.They kicked us out of the party, and, ufufu, now we're suspected of being dangerous.You'll hate it, won't you?But you didn't want to solve it. "
... I hope the spirits have managed this situation...?I don't know.
But from this way of saying it, I guess I could have done it.
Perhaps the Spirit will set the course for the future when my doubts are cleared and I can work as Remegeton without worrying about anyone's eyes.
I didn't even think about it.
I liked that too.But above all, your strategy and defense are interesting. "
――――
Unfortunately, it was a pleasure for the other party to say the same about this Spirit.
"I mean, I can give you protection on your own, and I can't make a contract, so you can't tie me up?I'll hang around till I'm tired, thank you....!
--After all, that's what happens...
Spirits are free beings.I'll finally do what I want to.
I went with everyone to the transfer recording stone and sighed. [M]
--Avoid bothering people.
As long as you're entertaining me, I think so.
Phew, I can feel something in my sword.
Drawing on my feelings, he keeps the sword he gave me. [M]The Holy Sword often turns into something like that.
But I like this.
You can use it when you want to use it.By the way, this dungeon will be gone in a few days.There are no more monsters. "
Stop using magic to maintain the dungeon?
He said he would accept participation in the trial, but I think it was only a few days before the dungeon disappeared.
"Hah... uhh"
"Reme-san, what's wrong?
Mira walks next door and looks at us with a strange face.
"Oh, yeah, I'll talk to you later."
"Really?I see. Can you tell me later?― ― Who are you talking to earlier?
Eh?
I can't see.I'm just looking at you. "
"Fufu"
I managed to give Mira-san a smile back.
Black chick got on my head. [M]
I hear that spiritual contractors struggle with their relationship with spirits... and in my case, there are no ties.
Therefore, I inherited one corner of the [Demon King] in the [Black Mage], was taught black magic, worked as the staff officer of the Demon King Army, and obtained the Holy Sword - I became possessed by the Spirit...
