【099】
[The Flame Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ proposes that if I enter into a contract with them, they will send a lesser spirit to the Kitchen to assist.]
[Then the Kitchen staff would be able to prepare more delicious meals more easily and quickly, wouldn’t they?]
My ears perked up at that.
‘Come to think of it, Teacher Rotia asked me if I could contract with other Spirit Kings as well. She seemed to be subtly hoping I would contract with the Earth Spirit King.’
What should I do?
I began to ponder this seriously while eating fried chicken.
‘When do I need to decide?’
Surely not by today?!
[Since contracting in exchange for filling the Grape Board is a matter of consensus among all the Spirit Kings, there isn’t really a deadline! ◟( ˘ ³˘)◞ ♡]
Ah, thank goodness.
[But there is something you should know.]
Upiros’s crimson glittering text blinked meaningfully.
[By human world standards, the child performer is already a Podungi Master!]
I had read somewhere that a Podungi Master refers to a contractor of a Spirit King.
[Those who possess great power are burdened with great trials. Should you contract with more Spirit Kings from here on, the child performer will face an even greater destiny. •︿•｡]
Huh?
‘Wait. Isn’t this the most important thing to discuss?’
I was startled by information I hadn’t heard before, my mouth falling slightly open.
[Actually, the Fate Spirit King told me not to mention it, so I kept quiet, but you should know before making a contract!]
“….”
Setting down my fork, I focused on the words ‘trials’ and ‘destiny’.
So this meant I would have adventures like the protagonists in fairy tales?
[The Air Spirit King ‘Shapasi’ says there’s nothing to worry about.]
[Though Fate is troublesome, they will still impose trials that are sufficiently manageable.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ becomes angry, telling Shapasi not to speak such recklessly optimistic words to her child.]
[In the end, it becomes the child’s burden to endure.]
Shapasi hopes I will contract with other Spirit Kings as well.
Mother wants me to decide carefully.
“Miss, would you care for some plum juice as well?”
“Yes!”
Sipping the refreshing, sweet-and-tart plum juice, I made my decision.
‘I’ll decide when I’m older!’
I’m still too young right now.
Of course, I feel like I’m all grown up, but I’m still not an adult.
‘Since there’s no deadline, it’s smarter to decide later, right Mother?’
Mother sent me a flood of encouraging glittering text in response to my question.
Grinning happily, I drained my juice cup completely.
Today I’ll rest well, and tomorrow I need to attend Spirit Studies Class.
Teacher Rotia, upon learning that I had contracted with two Spirit Kings simultaneously, both taught me various things and conversely conducted research on me.
I discovered something remarkable: what the Spirit King I’ve contracted with says can be relayed to others.
Of course, what the Spirit King says when directly manifested can also be heard by everyone!
Teacher Rotia asked me many questions about when the Spirit King becomes visible to others and when he doesn’t.
I relayed the Spirit King’s answers to her, and I can’t tell you how delighted she was.
“Young lady, you had a snack from the Kitchen, didn’t you?”
“Oh! Lina, how did you know?”
“You have fried coating crumbs around your mouth. Surely you’re not planning to eat again tomorrow?”
When we returned to my Room, Lina giggled and wiped my mouth clean.
With Lina, I headed to the Garden, thinking we’d play tag.
“Summer’s nearly gone now. It’ll start getting cold at night soon.”
“The changing seasons?”
“You read so many books, yet you know such difficult words?”
At Lina’s surprise, I felt proud and shrugged my shoulders.
“After the coming autumn passes… I’ll be five years old.”
“Mm! We decided to count from four years old anyway.”
Father and Grandfather had deliberated long over my true age versus my apparent age.
But we concluded that lost time was simply lost time.
However, to preserve some trace of Luarel, my name changed slightly.
“Young lady, shall we gather chestnuts when autumn comes?”
“Yes, please!”
I laughed happily, ran, rolled, fell, and got back up again.
Another blissfully happy day was passing.
This was Fasayen.
My home.
* * *
The late summer night sky is a deep blue.
On a clear night when stars sparkle, a Professor picked up her pen in the Guest Bedroom.
Scratch, scratch.
The sound of the pen nib scraping paper was rapid with excitement.
Of course, not a single letter or stroke was incorrect despite this.
Soon she read what she had written, then retrieved what she’d written the other day to compare.
“Heh.”
Then laughter burst forth—she had discovered such an adorable doodle.
【Research Journal on ‘Superti Fasayen’】
Entry 0. Spirit Kings are divided into three stages: summoning, manifestation, and descent.
Entry 1. What a contracted Spirit King says can be told to others.
(No chirping sound!)
Entry 2. When summoning a Spirit King to borrow their power, their form is neither visible nor their voice audible to others.
Entry 3. When Spirit Kings appear visible to all others and use their power, it is called manifestation.
Entry 4. When Spirit Kings appear visible to all others and can communicate bidirectionally with them, it is called descent.
Rule Five: A Spirit King who has descended cannot use their power for a long time afterward.
(Five years, no less!)
Rule Six: After borrowing the power of a summoned Spirit King, considerable time must pass before borrowing again.
(Around three years…?)
Rule Seven: A Spirit King’s power cannot be borrowed as frequently as their subordinate spirits. Years must pass before their power can be used again. Naturally, descent requires the longest recovery period, while summoning requires the shortest.
Rule Eight: The manifestation or incarnation of a Spirit King is often studied worldwide. A contractor is not strictly necessary. However, descent absolutely requires a human to serve as a medium.
Rule Nine: No matter how many times a Spirit King’s name is spoken, others cannot hear it.
Throughout recorded human history, there has never been a single individual who contracted with more than one Spirit King.
Based on the current situation, it appears that Superti Fasayen may be capable of contracting with additional Spirit Kings.
Such a degree of spirit affinity is an extraordinarily rare research case.
-Researcher, Rotia Loveberry.
Tenured Professor, National Clavier Comprehensive Academy.
Fasayen, Barateom
‘Coming here was truly heaven’s blessing.’
For the first time, the existence of a Spirit King felt tangible against her skin.
Through the remarkable child Superti, she had come to understand the existence of ‘Eden’.
What she had just been writing was precisely a thesis on Eden.
‘I’ve spent my entire life studying spirits, and now I can study a Spirit King.’
It was truly a joyful and grateful matter.
Professor Rotia smiled softly and extinguished the candle.
It was an incident in some corner of the Fasayen Mansion.
* * *
The verdant leaves turned brown and gradually withered away.
The thin fabrics became somewhat thicker, and Superti acquired twenty new coats, making the change of seasons apparent, yet even as the lush natural world nestled into winter’s embrace, Fasayen remained not particularly cold.
After all, it was a land where snow did not fall.
During that time, Diagon overlaid the Water Spirit King’s face upon every memory he possessed.
As slowly as falling leaves descended, and as swiftly as they scattered.
Each memory, rehearsed countless times, allowed a day to pass in an instant, and Diagon fell asleep rejoicing that he had drawn one step closer to the death he so longed for.
Of course, he harbored no intention of dying immediately.
Aurora was watching over him, so he had to raise his three children well.
Until the children became adults, aged, reached middle years, and no longer needed their father, he had to muster the strength to fulfill Aurora’s role as well.
Only then could he become a divine beast and avoid her scolding when they met again.
‘I must also repay what I’ve endured.’
Winter.
When mountains of accumulated snow sealed the movements of the Northern Region’s people.
Diagon, who had been waiting in silence, moved.
Together with Lewiwood.
