47.

 

Seeing Greim utter the exact same incantation as in the original work, my eyes widened in surprise, and I stared intently at Greim while both Caroline and Greim received the earth attribute from the awakened Elim.

 

My head wasn’t working properly as I tried to figure out how this could have happened, and I felt like I couldn’t manage my expression well.

 

“Eli, is something wrong?”

 

Caroline, who looked at me as soon as she received Elim’s earth attribute, asked with a worried expression upon seeing my stiff face.

 

I shook my head with an “Ah” and looked at Greim.

 

“That thing, did you just say it because you remembered it?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“That incantation just now. When you say it like that, Elim opens its eyes.”

 

At my words, Caroline looked at Greim with surprised eyes, and Greim glanced at her before looking at me and speaking.

 

“It’s content from an ancient text. [Those who wish to awaken Elim, become servants of the divine. And call Elim the messenger of the divine.]”

 

“…Ah. Then can anyone read that ancient text?”

 

“No. Originally, it’s a book managed by the High Priest, so one must become High Priest to read it, but I received special privileges for hearing the voice of the divine…”

 

Greim seemed to feel that what he said sounded like he had used some kind of loophole, so he stopped mid-sentence and shut his mouth tight.

 

“I see. Anyway, since you’ve received the earth attribute ability, I think you just need to practice using this power skillfully from now on. You know how to do it, right?”

 

In the original work, he combined the earth attribute power received from Elim with his own wind attribute to develop it into quite a strong ability, so the current Greim would surely do the same.

 

At my words, Greim nodded a couple of times and said he knew well from reading the ancient texts.

 

“I seriously want to read that ancient text too.”

 

“It’s an ancient text that only the High Priest can access.”

 

“Exactly. If I could just access it, I could mix this power with my dark magic… Ah! Greim could teach Caroline!”

 

As I clapped my hands together while speaking, both Greim and Caroline’s eyes widened.

 

“Caroline has light attribute, so she doesn’t have any combat skills at all, and she’s never learned any. So even if she has this earth attribute, it would be quite difficult to utilize.”

 

“…”

 

“Since learning from the basics would take too long, Greim, who can access that ancient text, should take responsibility for manifesting Caroline’s earth attribute too.”

 

“Oh, th-that’s too much…”

 

Caroline glanced at Greim, who was staring at me without answering my words, and trailed off.

 

“Too much? This is something received from Elim. We don’t know how many things will happen in the future, so we need to build up our strength even a little more.”

 

At my words, Greim seemed to think about something for a moment, then nodded and said he understood.

 

“Countess Triaize. Then, let’s have classes to manifest earth attribute abilities starting after the prayer meeting ends.”

 

“Ah, yes. Th-thank you.”

 

“Perfect, since we’ll be staying on Omberon Island for a week after the prayer meeting ends, you can learn plenty then.”

 

As I spoke with a bright smile, Caroline nodded awkwardly.

 

Greim glanced at us once, then turned around and started walking.

 

“I need to reread the ancient texts from now on, so I’ll go ahead.”

 

“Ah.”

 

“Shin, Su. Follow Greim. Don’t hoot too loudly, okay? That guy hates noisy things.”

 

I spoke rapidly like a machine gun to the spirit animals sitting on my shoulders, telling them to follow Greim.

 

At that, Greim stopped walking and stood still, looking at me with an incredulous expression.

 

But when the obedient Shin and Su each perched on Greim’s shoulders, he let out a resigned sigh and started walking again.

 

As I watched Greim’s retreating figure and the white owls sitting on his shoulders, Caroline suddenly called me.

 

“Eli.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Is it really okay for me to have this power?”

 

Caroline, who had lived with only light attribute that had no combat ability at all, seemed very anxious and conflicted about the suddenly acquired light attribute.

 

I firmly grasped Caroline’s hand and said.

 

“Of course, Caroline. This is to prepare for the evil forces that will come in the future. By the way, I’m going to give Perioze’s Sister this power too.”

 

“…”

 

As soon as Perioze’s Sister’s name came out of my mouth, Caroline’s face quickly darkened.

 

I asked her if she still disliked Perioze’s Sister.

 

“It’s not that I dislike her, but the Princess dislikes me.”

 

“If you don’t mess with Crown Prince Lloyd, Sister has no reason to dislike you at all.”

 

“Crown Prince Lloyd is…!”

 

Caroline, who didn’t know that I already knew about Lloyd’s light attribute, tried to tell me about his light attribute but quickly shut her mouth with an “oops.”

 

For now, it seemed much better for Lloyd to tell Caroline about this part rather than me, so I didn’t show any reaction.

 

Since Caroline was also trying to protect Lloyd’s secret, I thought that even if Caroline was connected to that secret, I shouldn’t speak carelessly about it.

 

“Anyway, Sister isn’t such a bad person. As long as you don’t provoke her.”

 

After shrugging my shoulders once, I linked arms with her from my side, meaning let’s go back.

 

Then Caroline smiled brightly and leaned her shoulder against me.

 

“At first I misunderstood you, but I’m glad it was a misunderstanding.”

 

When my eyes widened at Caroline’s words and I looked at her, Caroline continued with an awkward smile.

 

“I thought you were deliberately avoiding me because you fell for the Princess’s manipulation.”

 

“Ah…”

 

Rather than a misunderstanding, I had briefly suspected and disliked her because she was much more human than the original work’s female protagonist and I noticed her bad personality traits.

 

Now I had come to understand her a little as a person who thinks that Caroline is ultimately human too, and that everyone has both good and evil within them.

 

Anyway, Caroline was ultimately the female protagonist of the original work, and she would join forces with Lloyd and others to defeat the final villain of the original work, so if Perioze’s Sister and Caroline naturally became friends in the future, it seemed like the best possible future would unfold.

 

For that purpose, I resolved to do my best to bring Caroline and Greim together.

The prayer meeting concluded without any particular issues other than meeting the spirit animals in the Greenhouse Garden and obtaining the earth attribute from the Elim tree.

 

As soon as I returned home, I was summoned by the Emperor without even having time to rest comfortably, and I was currently sitting in a carriage personally sent by the Emperor, heading to the Imperial Palace.

 

I felt slightly annoyed at being summoned without even having time to contact Perioze’s Sister, but I couldn’t show displeasure to the Empire’s highest authority, so I just looked out the window with a calm expression.

 

The two Imperial Guard knights who came to escort me were also silently maintaining their positions, as if nothing mattered to them except their escort duty.

 

Seeing that they were even wearing armor, what if assassins sent by the Empress attacked me while going to the Imperial Palace?

 

It was when I was having such thoughts.

 

Neigh!

 

Along with the horses’ neighing, the carriage lurched and moved.

 

They say thoughts become reality…

 

I clicked my tongue inwardly and looked out the window.

 

“Don’t come out.”

 

As soon as the carriage stopped, the two Imperial Guard knights told me to stay inside and went outside.

 

The moment I stuck my head out the window while listening to the coachman saying the horses were startled by something and suddenly stopped, an arrow flew right next to me with a whoosh sound and stuck.

 

“Eek!”

 

I was so startled by the situation where I almost really died that I fell over and landed on my bottom.

 

At that moment, the carriage suddenly started moving.

 

The carriage began racing somewhere at a terrifying speed.

 

Feeling that the situation was going strangely, I got up and looked out the window to see the Imperial Guard knights who had been escorting me running toward the carriage while wearing heavy armor.

 

Behind them, I could see the coachman who had been driving the carriage desperately calling to the horses.

 

What is this?

 

I began to rack my brain about how to get through this situation, thinking that something big had happened.

 

But soon, seeing the sea and cliff visible in the distance, I couldn’t help but curse out loud.

 

“Damn it!”

 

This carriage was clearly trying to carry me and fall off the cliff.

 

Thinking that the only thing I could do in this situation was call Pandeum, I bit my thumb with my finger to summon him.

 

But at that moment.

 

“Hoo— Hoo—!”

 

“Hooo— Hoo—”

 

Before I could even draw the summoning circle, two enormously large white owls appeared before my eyes and grabbed both my shoulders with their talons, pulling me out of the carriage.

 

The carriage continued racing toward the cliff and fell, while I watched it while floating in mid-air.

 

Then I slowly raised my gaze to see the bellies of Shin and Su, who had grown to about four times my body size.

 

More precisely, the pure white fur on their bellies.

 

“Why did you two get so big…?”

 

Relief, bewilderment, confusion, and terror mixed together in a chaotic mess, and I lost consciousness right then and there.
