【162】
[Dear Child Contestant! (● o ≧ д ≦) o The connection was severed due to that sudden upheaval!]
‘Upiros!’
Mother? Are the other Spirit Kings safe?
[I’ll send you the backlog of messages! ( ꒪⌓꒪) !!! 【Eden】 has become aware that you, dear Child Contestant, turned back the world’s time. Everyone was absolutely shocked!]
Once again, I’m reminded that Spirit Kings are beings who transcend humanity by an immeasurable distance.
‘The time I rewound didn’t affect them at all.’
I sniffled slightly as I read through the flood of messages pouring toward me.
[Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ sends you a kiss.]
[Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ wishes to embrace you tightly.]
[Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ praises your courage!]
[Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ offers condolences for the loss of your Jellyfish.]
[Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ is shedding tears profusely, saying how proud he is of you.]
[Earth Spirit King ‘■’ soothes everyone and smiles warmly toward you.]
That’s right—I did the right thing.
So please, don’t let the world fall apart.
I rubbed my nose, which had grown tender, and my eyes widened at the shimmering text that suddenly appeared.
[Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ shrugs his shoulders.]
[Praise the Supreme One! The Fate Spirit King, you see—the Supreme One summoned him. Mwahahaha!]
…Pardon?
[Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ feels proud of himself.]
[Everyone was wondering how to help you, you see. So the Supreme One thought: Excellent! If I bring that Fate fellow here, I’ll become the kings’ darling too, and they’ll surely praise the Supreme One, yes?]
Wait, does that mean the Fate Spirit King has also entered the venue? Or not?
While I was pondering this, Upiros appeared again with a flourish.
[Indeed, the Fate Spirit King has also entered the venue! Only the Human World’s time was turned back. 【Eden】 remains unchanged!]
‘So… have I become the kings’ darling?’
This is a serious matter.
Right now, I’ve lost my Jellyfish and become powerless.
But if I become the kings’ darling… they definitely said the Spirit Eyes would open.
Main Quest Achieved!
Obtain the Title: Darling of the Kings
All Spirit Kings have entered the Childcare Variety Show 【My Precious One, Even in My Eyes】. ♪(´ε`*)
From this moment forward, your Quest reward ‘Spirit Eyes’ will awaken!
– You will be able to see spirits melded into all things.
– You will be able to form individual contracts with spirits.
– You will be beloved by all spirits of every element!
Beautiful light flowed softly from the shimmering text and directed itself toward me.
Blink.
I closed my eyes and opened them again.
At first, I couldn’t discern what had changed.
But that was only because I was inside a barrier made of densely woven magical nets.
“I think it’s safe to leave now, Shu.”
“Okay!”
“I’ve ordered the mages to search for zombies as a precaution. I’ve also sent additional personnel to Jeffrey Ishel, so you can rest assured for now.”
Clap clap.
As Rasifer clapped his hands, the surrounding illusion crumbled.
Maximilian with a bewildered expression and Ibis Rundle, who remained alive rather than becoming a marshmallow, came into view.
Sister Diolrose stood before the pile of zombies with a peculiar expression, and the moment she saw Rasifer, her eyebrows shot up.
“These weren’t a real test?”
“It wasn’t my intention. Come on, let me explain.”
“The baby rabbit seems to be fine. Thank goodness.”
By merely turning back time, everything was resolved with anticlimactic simplicity.
It was a relief, but a lingering unease remained.
‘The price I’ll have to pay to the Fate Spirit King.’
Because I didn’t know what it was.
“Daughter!”
“Father!”
As I exited the stadium, Father rushed over and lifted me into his arms. Cradled in his embrace, I thought to myself.
Could it possibly be… that Father is what I hold most dear?
‘That can’t be.’
Hanging from Father’s neck, I suddenly heard what sounded like laughter.
Since there was no situation that would warrant anyone laughing, I lifted my head in confusion, and there—
“Gasp.”
Beings I hadn’t noticed before.
Yet beings who had always been by our side, filling the space beyond measure.
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ whispers to you.]
[Yes, my child. Now you can see the spirits freely. From now on, all spirits will protect you. Even without a contract, we’ll gladly help with trivial matters.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ says this is the blessing of a Spirit King.]
[Child blessed by all Spirit Kings, I know that you, with your altruism and compassion, will use this power only for the greater good and in the right places.]
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ speaks.]
[You have passed the test.]
If I hadn’t made an altruistic decision… would the Fate Spirit King have simply left and never returned again?
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ nods.]
[Exactly. That one’s incredibly rigid.]
‘They severed the connection so I couldn’t receive anyone’s advice during the test. They wanted to see what I would choose on my own.’
As I thought this through, the Spirit Kings sent me messages of affirmation.
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ looks dejected.]
[The Fate Spirit King is more powerful than all the rest of us combined. None of us can overcome fate. We wanted to help, but…]
It’s alright, Luck Spirit King!
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ snorts.]
[Our little one has grown so much… In Spirit Realm time, it feels like the blink of an eye, yet she’s transformed from a baby into a girl. How dignified she’s become. I’m so proud of Sugar.]
The Emotion Spirit King truly feels like an aunt to me.
I only have an aunt, but if I had an aunt like this, I wonder if it would feel this way?
“Laximon Household Master Deputy, His Excellency says he will convene a meeting immediately.”
“I must also leave briefly to protect my own household.”
Father called out to Rasifer.
Could I truly let my guard down?
Was everything really going to be alright?
Really?
The moment I thought that—
“…!”
My vision flashed white.
Light came first. Sound followed. Then came a tremendous shockwave in its wake.
Father clenched his teeth and wrapped his arms around me, shielding me.
‘An explosion…!’
This was something I had never experienced before.
Which meant that earlier, I had remained inside the stadium longer, so I had been ‘unaware’ of it. That’s why I couldn’t relay this information to Rasifer.
“KRAAAAAAAGH!!”
A monster’s cry tore through the air with ear-splitting ferocity.
Boom!
At the same moment, something burst through the ground.
As the smoke cleared, what stood there was… the beast I had seen before.
No—it was Jeffrey Ishel in his beastial form.
Zombies crawled out behind him.
The mages Rasifer had sent to stop Jeffrey Ishel were also shambling about as zombies.
“Tsk.”
Rasifer clicked his tongue, and Sister Diolrose stepped forward.
Shadows writhed around Sister Diolrose, spreading outward and freezing the movements of countless zombies all at once.
Jeffrey Ishel also froze momentarily, but Sister’s expression darkened.
“I can’t restrain him for long.”
Jeffrey Ishel’s eyes were already stained a deep crimson, his mind seemingly gone. Foam dripped from his elongated snout, making him look utterly ominous.
As if he had become a zombie while still in his beastial form.
And in that instant, Shinhyung vanished.
He reappeared in front of me.
Crash!!!
Father threw me backward, then drew his sword to block Jeffrey Ishel’s claws.
It was Older Brother Elzen who caught me from behind.
“Take my sister and flee.”
Father left those quiet words and surged forward, driving Jeffrey Ishel back.
Crack.
Every time Jeffrey Ishel swung his hand, the earth carved deep furrows beneath him. Yet Father evaded with effortless grace.
“Roooaaarrr!!”
After that furious cry, Jeffrey Ishel leaped high into the air. Watching him, Father’s silver blade became enveloped in a dark blue aura.
That power—so perilously formidable it sent shivers down one’s spine—was unleashed toward Jeffrey Ishel in the next instant.
