Left behind, Asuka and I often stood in a suddenly quiet room. Oh, no!

Asuka, let's ask the spirits!

"Ah, that's right. I wonder if it would be the wind that would be investigated. Or is it dirt? I wonder if I can work on Larg at night....."

Asuka was a little worried and decided to turn to the Earth Spirit. I've heard that Asuka's Earth Spirit, Larg-kun, looks like a very sleeping child and can't do much activity.

At that time, when I asked for something, I heard that it was the spirit of a strange person who worked a lot with a little magic power.

It looks like the spirits I've been under contract with since I was a child, but I haven't seen them yet. It seemed like I was sleeping, so the timing was not right.

I'm sorry, Meg. I can only move Larg because I don't have that much magic power.

"No, that's enough!" The human continent can't recover much of its magic, so don't force it. "

This is the right place! I learned it in the dungeon's tactics. At that time, you just have to do what you can.

Asuka can brighten up the atmosphere of the place, and she is good at physical arts because of her physical strength. It would be good if you could play an active role in making use of its strengths.

"I see, that's right." Now, while you wait, I'll let you know how Meg feels! "

"Fufu, that's comforting." Thank you, Asuka. "

The fastest way to change your mind, Asuka! Even though I know this with my head, I'm worried about it.

Well! If that's the case, I'll have to call out to the spirits.

Shaw-chan, Hoo-chan, can I ask you a favor?

I'll take care of it!

I'll do my best!

When it comes to the investigation, these are the two. After reading the intentions accurately, Shaw and Huo flew away from the window immediately.

"Well then, Larg as well." Don't fall asleep on the way, okay? "

Hmm. It's been a long time since I've had you work hard.

Before Asuka sends out the spirits, the earth spirits? I will perform a ritual to make Larg-kun's figure visible. It would be more convenient to check your figure later!

Larg-kun looked like a brown mole. At first glance, it looks like a normal mole, but it's characterized by a long beard and a golden nose. Somewhere the grandpa-like way of talking is a bit soothing.

Then why do you think we should head there? "... and..."

Larg-kun, who had moved slowly to the window, mumbled to his own pace, and began to squeak across the wall. It will heal after all.

"You're a spirits at your own pace." You can keep an eye on it. "

"I feel too relaxed, though." But I can rely on that a lot. "

Asuka smiled like he was in trouble somehow, but proudly told me about Ragh. You found something no one could find, or you were the first to detect a landslide far away. Wow, that's amazing!

And I am healed by Asuka's appearance, who happily talks about his contract spirit. Yeah, yeah, I know. You'll think my child is the cutest! You're going to be an idiot! It seems to be a user of natural magic.

"...... Maki-chan, I wonder if you're okay."

If we see off the spirits, we'll have nothing more to do. We just have to wait for the information to arrive.

I can't help but stand, so I take out the chair and sit down for two. After a moment of silence, Asuka turned a smile to me.

"If anything happens, it's definitely okay because we moved quickly."

It's not like it's been days since I disappeared, and I think it's definitely okay. That's all we have.

Besides, it doesn't mean they're gone in the first place. If it was hard work, it wouldn't have gone beyond that. "I wish that were so..."

"Asuka is amazing. Maki-chan may be panicking, so you can immediately come up with it."

Asuka is surprisingly calm about making that kind of decision. I get emotional right away, so I just panic. I wonder if it's an objective point of view, but the way you look at things like that is the part you want to apprentice.

Hmmm, that's because I remember myself, too.

Asuka's cheeks blushed a little embarrassed. Remember me?

Is that when you ran into the forest for jealousy the first time you met me?

"No, no! Don't bring up such a childhood story!" Well, there's that, but it's a different story! "

Asuka dyed her cheeks a little embarrassingly and waved her hands. She's cute.

"In the land of the Elves, when I read the letter. When I learned at the tournament that Meg was in a pretty tough situation,

"Ah....."

It was an unexpected reply that came back from that. But it was a strangely convincing reply.

After all, I didn't have the opportunity to tell Asuka in person, so I told her in a letter. My magic power was almost rampant and dangerous, and I was able to stabilize myself by sharing my soul with Licht.

"We were together, but we didn't realize anything." After the tournament, I knew it was Meg's first letter. It was a complicated situation, wasn't it? So if you just read it, you won't be able to understand it at all. But I know it seemed tough. "

Asuka dropped her gaze to her lap as she laughed in distress. I don't know... I don't know. No, I don't understand what happened.

I didn't quite get it either. Even now, I don't really know what happened and I can't explain it well. As a result, I shared my soul with Licht, and my magic power was stable. That's all I can explain clearly.

It's impossible to tell someone who is not a party to it to understand.

But I didn't want to say it because I felt like I was out of company. I wanted Asuka to know. An elf of the same age, he'll become Ortus's ally someday.

"I felt a sense of intimidation, and I wanted to know where I was." Now I know why you didn't tell me. But, you know, when I read the letter, my mind got rattled and I panicked. So I decided to jump out of my hometown and go to Ortus. "

Huh?

She raised her face in amazement at Asuka's words, which said nothing. Are you panicking? I'm about to pop out of my hometown!?

"Ah, just thinking about it didn't actually jump out." I'm not bothering anyone! "

"Oh, I see. I'm glad to hear that..." But I was surprised to learn that Asuka was so shocked.

I mean, I've worried you so much.

"I-I 'm sorry, Asuka... I didn't expect you to think that far." Um, shouldn't I have said that in a letter...? "

"I thought you were going to say that!" Don't apologize! I know it's Chan, and now I've accepted it. Besides, I wrote a letter, but I'm glad you told me earlier. This is true! "

Apologizing in a hurry, Asuka laughed mischievously and poked me on the cheek with her index finger. It's being read.

If you doubt it, you'll get angry, right? If they say Nikoniko, I can't say anything anymore. I'm glad I was able to tell you as soon as possible.

"That's why that Maki-chan is the same." When I suddenly know a lot of things, I wonder if I won't be able to be there. That's what I thought. "

"I see..."

When I think about it, I've had the experience of being suddenly informed of shocking facts.

At first, it was when I found out that my father was in this world. At that time, various things came to light one after another, and I panicked. I was young, and I had hyperventilation.

When I calmed down a bit, I noticed Maki-chan. Asuka came up with that possibility instantly, and it was amazing. Even Richt and Ronnie couldn't think of anything right away. You're flexible in your thinking, aren't you? That's Asuka's strength.

While doing so, a yellow-green light came in from the window. Hoo-chan!

I found it! Lord! I was alone in the back of the trail in the eastern district I went to today. "

"Really!? I was running away from home after all..." Oh dear, I have to let you know right away! "

Hmph. Since Shaw's already headed under the Dwarves, maybe he's already found it?

That's my boy! Moreover, it was wonderful that Shaw-chan, who was able to tell them quickly, went to the two of them. We made our own decisions, didn't we? Too good, too cute, too hard!

"Wow, the spirits of Meg." If you find it, you'll have to recall Larg as well. "

When Asuka relaxes her shoulders like she's relieved, Fu-chan is different! and flapped his wings.

The dirt rag was the first thing I found! Awesome. I couldn't find them even though I was flying around so much. ”

"Huh, is that so?" Awesome! Good job, Ragh! I hope this isn't even your usual sleeping habit. But when I get home, I'll give you a lot of compliments. "

Really amazing, Larg-kun! When I heard that, Larg-kun got out of here and went straight under Maki-chan without getting lost.

It's not like we've met before, but it's too much, right? Larg-kun said that he had narrowed down and searched for a girl who was alone. Oh, I'm smart!

I found what Larg found, so I didn't either?

"Fufu, that's right. Fu-chan is also very bad! Thank you for looking for me."

Eheheh! I was praised!

Of course, my child is so cute and amazing! You're so sweet already!

A few minutes later, Shaw and Larg-kun came back safely under us. Both Asuka and I praise the spirits as much as we can before we hear about the situation.

Shaw and Larg seem to have returned after seeing that Licht and Ronnie had properly protected Maki-chan. He also received a message from the two of them that they would talk to their brothers and then return. Excellent!

Nevertheless, it was really good. "I'm worried about Maki-chan's heart..." That's all we need to hear when the Lichts come back. It was enough to confirm my personal safety.

Thanks to Asuka!

"I-Is that so?" Somehow it's going to shine. But if it helps, I'm happy too. "

They look at each other and laugh at each other. All right, let's get some tea for the two of us who are back!
