【046】
Parke, Sha.
Sha, Parke.
As I hummed uncertainly, Teacher unleashed a torrent of ancient words upon me.
With an expression suggesting there was no room for questions.
“The ‘Hui’ that means to wrap around, the ‘Naina’ that means to remain, the ‘Malaka’ that means dance, the ‘Sii’ that means to exist, and ‘Yur’ that means history!”
Pondering carefully, I somehow recalled that the ○○ Spirit King’s name consisted of three characters.
‘My name’s meaning was said to be the North Star that guides one’s course during voyages and the goddess of battle.’
Then what could be the meaning of the Air Spirit King’s name?
Thinking intently, I recalled a passage from a book I’d read before.
Since I’d read it repeatedly, I’d memorized it entirely.
Air fills every place in this world, so one can go anywhere and exist anywhere.
Because that freedom is precious, they rarely attempt to contract with humans.
The contract difficulty is extraordinarily high, but conversely, once contracted, they remain with the contractor until death.
‘Elzen said there were no hints about the Air Spirit King’s name within the country.’
Perhaps because of their freedom, there are no hints anywhere.
If hints were left behind, someone would guess it, and if they guessed correctly, they’d form a contract.
‘But air truly exists everywhere.’
Hmm, so—
“Freedom that exists everywhere…?”
Crash!
In that instant, several golems exploded at once. Simultaneously, shimmering letters cascaded upward.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ applauds enthusiastically.]
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ reveals joy with an awkward cough.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘■■■■’ boasts that my child has quite good language skills.]
It must be correct!
My face brightened as I quickly combined the words.
Freedom is Sha.
To exist is Sii.
Everywhere is Parke.
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ offers advice on the word order of ancient language.]
Freedom that exists everywhere.
If I rearrange that slightly….
‘Freedom exists everywhere.’
Thump, thump.
My heart raced wildly.
As if it would shatter my ribs and burst free, I took a deep breath and cried out.
“Air Spirit King,
Shapasi
! Please contract with me!”
A breeze stirred from somewhere.
What had begun as a faint sound—like someone’s delicate laughter—transformed into a menacing, buzzing roar.
“Gasp, what is this!”
“The wind… it’s a typhoon!”
“I’m going to be swept away!”
Screams erupted from people all around.
Lina held me tightly and tried to shield me with her entire body, but I shook my head vigorously.
Because I felt no sense of danger whatsoever.
“Are you here?”
I asked this while stepping forward eagerly, then lifted my head as high as I could.
Graceful, semi-transparent birds with long wings soared elegantly through the wind.
The moment iridescent feathers drifted down and brushed against my nose, they shimmered with white light, forming an impossibly pure silhouette.
[Yes, I am Shapasi. I am one of the oldest Spirit Kings, existing since the moment this world was created.]
“…!”
The Air Spirit King possessed hair so long it reached all the way to her feet.
Wings sprouted from both arms like those of a bird, and her upper body was bare.
Instead, her chest and abdomen bore intricate tattoos.
Her two eyes, devoid of pupils, were filled with a sky blue so piercing it was almost frightening, yet they revealed no emotion whatsoever—which made them somewhat difficult to read.
[Young contractor, I can lend you my power for only three minutes. Tell me what you desire.]
From the massive bird-like Air Spirit King came a grave, low voice.
Finally, I was meeting her in person, not just through letters!
“Please defeat all the golems outside.”
[Very well. Will you come with me?]
Could I really do that?
I nodded eagerly.
Of course—there was no reason to refuse!
“Hey, where are you going!”
Naiad, who was struggling to maintain the protective barrier, shouted toward me.
Lina also rushed after me in surprise, but surprisingly, both Cedric and Crescent Sister simply watched without moving.
“Miss, it’s d-dangerous. You mustn’t go out there. If you must go, please step on me!”
“Stepping on you would be… there’s not much time. I’ll be back in three minutes.”
I gently pushed Lina away, and the Air Spirit King embraced me from behind.
Her feathers tickled my nose and cheeks, making me feel like I might sneeze.
[Let us go, young contractor.]
A gust of wind surged up, and my hair stood on end.
I burst out laughing at that, while Lina collapsed to the ground, trembling.
Everyone else’s eyes widened in shock.
[Ah, right. My form is visible only to you. To them, it will appear as though you’ve simply risen into the air.]
“Wow, how cool!”
[Hahaha! Perhaps it’s because you’re so young, but your reaction is quite refreshing.]
The Air Spirit King, who had settled me upon his left shoulder, extended his right hand fully. In that instant, a sharp whirlwind erupted from his palm, shattering one of the golems before my eyes in a single, devastating blow.
It was the massive construct that Elzen and Joy had been fighting.
“What… the youngest?!”
“Big brother, look behind you!”
“How did you even get up there… ugh!”
Elzen nearly fainted at the sight of me.
It would have been amusing under different circumstances, but we were in the midst of battle—I needed to suppress my laughter.
[Behold. This is the power of wind.]
The Air Spirit King called out to me at precisely that moment.
“…!”
The instant the Air Spirit King clenched his fist, the single whirlwind fractured into dozens, all descending toward the ground.
Naiad, startled, reinforced his vine barrier until it completely sealed the entrance, and I could see Elzen and Joy retreating inside to take shelter from the golems.
Where had Iliad and Lewiwood gone?
‘Wait, they’re not hurt, are they?’
A belated worry flickered through my mind.
BOOM—CRASH—CRASH—CRASH—CRASH!!
The whirlwinds that touched the ground consumed everything around them with terrifying destructive force.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ is somewhat irritated.]
[Take it easy, Shapasi. Don’t destroy everything. Do you have any idea how long it takes for a single tree to grow?]
The Earth Spirit King was clearly upset, but the wind was blowing so fiercely that I couldn’t read all of his words.
Squinting against the gale, I grabbed my hair with both hands as it whipped repeatedly against my forehead, and looked down below.
“Oh….”
What should I do?
I mean, I mean—
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ clicks his tongue.]
[Well, it’s been thoroughly scorched.]
Trees were uprooted and sent flying.
The golems had been completely shattered into nothing but rubble, the earth was overturned, and the river had overflowed.
Fortunately, Naiad’s protective barrier remained steadfast through all the chaos, but….
Would I be scolded for this?
[The power I used today was merely three percent. Even that much has strained your body considerably, so rest well for several days.]
As I stood dazed, surveying the devastation below, the Air Spirit King chuckled warmly and descended with me in his grasp.
[Since this is the day of our contract, I could lend you my power without difficulty. But to summon me again, you’ll need several years to pass. Eat well and grow strong.]
The Air Spirit King, who had gently ruffled my hair like a gentle breeze, straightened his towering form.
He was so immense that I barely reached his shins.
As the Spirit King smiled and vanished, I collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion.
“Superti!”
“Elzen.”
“How on earth did that happen… are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? What were you even looking at?”
Soon after, Naiad’s vine barrier unraveled, and people came tumbling out from within.
I clung to Elzen with a hollow laugh, but my body felt utterly drained, making it nearly impossible to speak.
My stomach was absolutely ravenous too.
“I don’t know what you did, but you did well, Vice-Class Representative.”
That was when it happened.
