43.

Of course, there was an episode where Greim would receive thanks from Caroline thanks to Elim’s power, so if Theor also gained that power, it could eliminate the merit that Elim’s power gave to the female protagonist.

Perhaps an uncomfortable situation might arise where Caroline would come to favor Theor, who had gained Elim’s power.

With such thoughts, I worried the entire time I held his hand and headed to the greenhouse garden whether my choice was wrong, but I ultimately concluded that if everyone received Elim’s power, it would help defeat the villain later.

If myself, Theor, Greim, Lloyd, and even my sister and Caroline all received Elim’s power, we could all use earth attributes, making it easier to deal with disasters created by dark sorcerers in the future.

Of course, if it became a power everyone could use, the part where Caroline thought specially of Greim who used that power alone would disappear, but I could just make him show charm in other ways, right?

Having thought that far, I hurriedly brought Theor before Elim and said to him.

“I just received earth attribute abilities from Elim, you know? Let’s have Theor receive them too while we’re at it. Later I’ll have Greim and His Highness the Crown Prince, and also my sister and Caroline receive them…”

“You’re calling Greim by his name?”

Suddenly, Theor interrupted my words and asked with a slightly stiff expression.

I glanced at him and nodded once.

“He asked me to call him that. Anyway, that’s not what’s important…”

“Just because someone asks you to call them by name doesn’t mean you have to, Elinea.”

My eyes widened slightly at Theor, who interrupted my words again and pointed out an irrelevant part.

Theor squeezed the hand I was holding, stopped walking, and spoke again with a resolute expression.

“I’m saying you don’t need to give in to everything just because Greim throws a tantrum.”

“What? Oh, he wasn’t throwing a tantrum…”

It was just calling him by name, so it wasn’t that difficult, yet I couldn’t understand why he was making such a pitying expression as if looking at someone who had been asked to do something tremendously difficult.

But faced with his seriously grave expression, it became awkward to point that out, so I substituted an answer by nodding once.

Anyway, that wasn’t what was important.

“In any case, when we get in front of the Elim tree, just say ‘God’s messenger pays respects to God’s apostle.’ That’s the incantation to awaken Elim, you see?”

I continued explaining that when Elim was awakened with that incantation, eyes, nose, and mouth would appear in the middle of the tree trunk.

Theor nodded once toward me and answered that he understood.

“But how do you know that? Was something like that also in the book…”

“Yes. Originally it’s Greim’s episode. Many imperial citizens lose their lives to the villains’ rampage, and while Greim is praying to God in front of the Elim tree, he coincidentally feels like the tree is looking at him and mutters those words.”

“…That sounds like him.”

“Haha, anyway, he learns that’s the incantation to awaken the Elim tree and gains earth attribute abilities from Elim.”

Saying I had also received that power, I stretched out my hand toward the flower petals nearby and flicked my finger upward once.

Then long, thick tree branches suddenly sprouted from among the flowers in an intertwined and tangled appearance.

Having directly witnessed with his own eyes that I could use earth attribute abilities, Theor nodded and began walking again.

This time I ended up being dragged along by the hand Theor was holding, which made me feel a bit strange, but since it was good for me anyway, I decided to pretend not to notice.

* * *

As I expected, Elim had no hesitation whatsoever about sharing his power with those chosen by God.

Rather, he showed interest because two people with dark attributes wanted his power, and the aura of those dark attributes was somewhat different.

Theor and I promised to occasionally visit Elim to awaken him, and we even received blessing leaves from Elim that Greim hadn’t received in the original work.

The blessing leaves were said to grant the bearer one wish that was possible with Elim’s power, just once.

Since this was a part that never appeared in the original work, I felt both bewildered and pleased to receive the blessing leaves as compensation for occasionally coming to awaken him.

I don’t know what kind of wishes Elim can grant, but having them will surely be useful, which makes my heart race.

Having gained new power and even items, we headed together to Greim’s room.

Greim asked Theor, who hadn’t come to find him despite having arrived quite some time ago, with a voice full of dissatisfaction.

“Where the hell have you been wandering around? If you came to the Imperial Shrine, you should have come straight to find me.”

“I didn’t come to the Imperial Shrine just to see you.”

“What?”

“Anyway, hurry up and talk about the oracle. Depending on the content, we might need to go see His Highness the Crown Prince right away.”

At Theor’s words, Greim nodded once and said we would need to go.

“As you heard from Elinea, this morning an oracle came down…”

“You’re also calling Elinea by her name?”

Suddenly, Theor interrupted Greim’s words with a surprised expression.

At that, Greim frowned slightly and asked if that wasn’t what was important.

But Theor stubbornly insisted that was the most important thing.

“What’s so important about me calling Elinea by her name that you’re making such a fuss.”

“It’s important because you’re calling her that when there’s no reason to. You even asked Elinea to call you by name too, didn’t you.”

“Well, doesn’t Elinea call you by name too.”

“Are you and I the same?”

“What’s different about us?”

With an important matter at hand, the two men began arguing over something truly trivial and pointless, and I could only blink my eyes while standing there dumbfounded between them, unable to do this or that.

Eventually, seeing their argument gradually intensifying over just calling someone by name, I had no choice but to step in to mediate.

“Since names don’t matter anyway, hurry up and talk about His Highness the Crown Prince’s attributes.”

At my words, Theor and Greim, who had been growling at each other just moments before, simultaneously relaxed their expressions and looked at me.

I told them about Lloyd’s light attribute abilities, my dark magic, and the oracle that came down this morning, suggesting we think together about what to do.

Theor and Greim seemed a bit surprised to hear that Lloyd had light attributes, but they quickly returned to their usual calm expressions.

They then discussed the oracle that had already come down and Lloyd’s light attributes.

“We’ll have to report to His Majesty the Emperor first, but since the Imperial Palace has many listening ears and watching eyes, the oracle’s content won’t be able to remain secret.”

When Greim said this to Theor, Theor also nodded and acknowledged that point.

“Would it be difficult to slightly change the oracle content when reporting to His Majesty the Emperor?”

“Change the oracle content? That’s impossible.”

“I mean, when we have an audience with the Emperor at the Imperial Palace and discuss things, we’d leave out the important parts. Of course, getting permission beforehand so His Majesty the Emperor can know the facts would be the priority.”

Since they believed that deceiving the Emperor, who was the Empire’s sun, was the same as deceiving God, falsely conveying the oracle’s content would certainly cause much discomfort.

However, as Theor said, if it wasn’t lying but rather giving the Emperor advance notice separately and then omitting important parts, it would reach the Empress’s ears planted beside the Emperor while preventing her from knowing all the facts.

“Getting permission beforehand would be difficult, but since the Empress’s side wouldn’t be able to find out about Elinea, I think that would be the best method.”

Greim, who had been looking at Theor’s words with an expression that showed he didn’t know what he was thinking, soon finished all his thoughts and nodded before asking him.

“How should we give His Majesty the Emperor advance notice?”

“That method is…”

“I’ll do it.”

At that moment, I raised my hand and interjected between them.

“I can use the same method I used with His Highness the Crown Prince on His Majesty the Emperor. That would also be a good way for His Majesty the Emperor to believe in my power.”

“What method did you use?”

At Theor’s question, I looked at him and smiled brightly.

“I used Pandeum.”

At my words, Theor’s eyes widened.

I continued speaking to him.

“Since I can’t go to the Imperial Palace myself, I sent Pandeum to the Crown Prince’s Palace.”

“It seems your summon can go anywhere freely.”

“Yes, but only to locations in my mind. Of course, since I also made a contract with Theor, Pandeum can go to locations Theor remembers without much difficulty too.”

At my words, Theor nodded once.

Greim, who had been listening to our conversation, suddenly interjected and asked.

“What exactly is this summon?”
