Heya everyone, this is Zain. I am a seventeen years old handsome high school boy.

My height is around 1.65 meter tall, with my silky blond hair, golden-colored pupils, long legs, fair and smooth complexion, many people say I looked just like a model.

I am what everyone would normally call a pretty boy, and today is supposed to be the best day ever. However, in contrast, it is also one of the most tiring day, because it is valentine’s day!

It is the day where I can get lots of free food and chocolates from the girls in our school, it is very tiring to put on a fake smile all day long, but it is well worth it.

You see… I come from a rather poor family so we cannot afford to have luxurious food everyday. That’s why I love valentine! I can get more than I can eat in a single day, it’s like an all-you-can-eat-buffet, and all for free!

But today… turns out to be the worst day ever, I never thought it’d turn out like this. Maybe in my next life… I should treat the girls better.

The story goes like this…

On the morning of Valentine, I got up from my bed and went to school as usual. Everything was normal, I went to school, the girls squeal when I walk past them, I opened my locker and found lots of love letters, as well as chocolates. Some of them even approached me nervously during lunch hours to invite me for an after school date, or to give me lunch boxes.

Of course, as generous as I am, I accepted them all without second thoughts. If anything the heaven has gifted me, it is this pretty face of mine that make the girls go crazy for me. Which… funnily enough, is also my biggest misfortune.

It all started when I met her on that fateful day. I promised to go on an after school date with the girls in our school. We went to the park, and that’s where I met her.

She sat on a bench at the side of the park, under a Cherry Blossom tree. She has a long and beautiful blonde hair, her blue eyes are giving off a glint like that of a sparkling clear sapphire gem. Her slender body looks so frail and elegant, any man who laid their eyes on her would develop a feeling of wanting to protect her from any harm.

I fell in love at first sight, the girls are calling my name non-stop, however I ignored all else, and walked straight in front of the beautiful girl sitting under the Cherry Blossom tree.

I kneel down on one knee in front of her to look at her face from the bottom, I said the lines which come naturally to me the moment I laid my eyes on her, “The beauty of the Cherry Blossom tree pales in comparison with yours.”

The girl finally raised her face, and looks at me suspiciously. Without saying a single word, the girl stood up from the bench immediately and ran away from me.

The moment I stood up and turned around, she was already far away. I chased after her frantically and keep shouting, “Please wait! At least tell me your name!”

However, she did not turn back and keep running further and further away from me. Despite her frail and delicate body, she can actually run faster than a man. I was very impressed, and also very disappointed at the same time since I couldn’t catch up to her.

I lost sight of her in the end, I kept searching all over the city for her, but I couldn’t even find any traces of her. This is rather strange, a world-class beauty like her should have attracted the attention of many, even if she was in the middle of a sea of people. However, not even a single people I asked have seen her around.

I started to doubt whether or not I was daydreaming, was that girl just a fairy from my imagination, or was she the real deal, I have no idea. However… I have a strange feeling that I have met her before, a feeling as if our souls are connected, as if we are soul mates.

I want to meet her again, that is my honest feeling. I kept searching for her non-stop until the color of the sky started to turn dark. It was then I found her on the opposite side of the road, she was surrounded by the girls from my school. It seems like she was being bullied by the girls whom I promised to go on a date with.

I regret not being able to keep my promise, but ganging up and bullying a lone girl is bad, I have to help her! Without second thoughts, I immediately tried to rush forth. However, I stopped my footsteps when a car ran past in front of me and honked a few times.

It was then I saw it, the girls from my school pushed the frail looking girl, and she fell towards the road. A truck happens to drive past and ran over her body. Her lungs and other inner organs are destroyed due to the heavy load of the truck! I am sure the girls didn’t mean for this to happen either. However, because of their measly jealously, one life is about to be lost, I could never forgive them for that.

I immediately rushed towards the point of accident and held the frail looking girl’s head on my arm, tears overflowed from my eyes, and I kept shouting for her to stay strong.

“Fi…ore…” The girl seemed like she wanted to say something so I brought my ear close to her lips.

“What is it? What are you trying to say? I’ll do anything for you! Anything!!” I frantically urged her to speak.

“My… name… Fio-re…” And that was the frail looking girl’s last word. Immediately after she said that, the glint in her eyes lost their radiance.

Her body turned icy cold, when I confirmed that she is no longer breathing, I faced upward and let out a beastly howl, “Warghhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

In my heart, I keep cursing myself, “It is all my fault! It is my fault that she has to meet a fate like this! If it is not because of me, she wouldn’t have to die!!”

I prayed to the god with all my heart, “God! Please! I will do anything, just please bring her back to life! I will give up my everything for her, even at the cost of my own life! Please, save her!!”

Just around this time, the world around me turned pitch black. The building, the people, the vehicles, just practically everything around me is swallowed by the darkness. Nothing else could be seen around me except for the pitch black darkness.

Then I heard a voice, “Boy… are you saying you are willing give up anything to save the life of a person whom you just met?”

I was surprised by the voice, I couldn’t help but ask, “Are… are you a g-g-god? Or a devil?”

That mysterious voice calmly replies, “It matter not if I am a god or a devil. What matter is that I have the power to save this girl.”

Without thinking twice, I immediately replied when I heard that she can save Fiore, “Yes! Yes! Yes, I will do anything! So please, I beg you to save her!”

With a serene voice, the mysterious figure said, “Very well, then our contract is completed. I will revive the girl in return of your Material Body!”

“Gulp…” I am prepared to give up my life for hers, but I still couldn’t help but swallow my saliva when I heard that.

The mysterious figure said calmly, “Worry not, I will not take your life, I have a mission for you after all. I will only take away your everything and bestow a new life upon you in a new world. Your mission is to subjugate the Demon Lords all over the world. For every Demon Lord you killed, I will restore a fraction of this girl’s memories.”

“Wait… you mean you will not restore all her memories at once?!” I couldn’t help but retort, “I have to kill a Demon Lord in order to restore just a bit of Fiore’s memory? What kind of sick joke is this?!”

The tone of the mysterious figure remains as calm as ever, “You said you will do anything, our contract is already sealed. It is too late to back out now!”

“I have been tricked!” I couldn’t help but grit my teeth, there’s nothing else I could do. This is the only way to save Fiore, I have no other choice but to do it!

“Fine then! I will kill that whatever Demon Lords for you! But you must keep your end of promise, or else…” I didn’t finish my sentence, and clenched my fists tightly.

“Very well…” After the mysterious voice said thus, I could feel my body slowly disintegrating, turning into dust from the bottom to up.

I started to panic, “Wha! W-what is going on?! My body… my body is disintegrating!! Waaaaaaaaa!!”

With my last breath, I shouted at the top of my lungs as my entire body disintegrated into nothingness. After that, the world returned to normal. But the existence of myself, Zain, and the frail looking girl, Fiore, never existed in this world anymore.

The next time I opened my eyes, I found that I couldn’t move my body freely, my hands and feet were tiny, my entire body was pitch-black in color, there were red tattoos all over my tiny body. I didn’t dare believe it but it seems as if I have been reincarnated.

However, the strange thing was that my body grew up really fast. In merely a few days, I was already about the size of an elementary school kid. It was only then I found out that I have been reincarnated as a Goblin!

Goblin is supposed to be one of the weakest kind of species out there in Role-Playing Games! How am I supposed to defeat a Demon Lord as a Goblin?! Is this some kind of punishment from the god?!

However, I didn’t lose hope and continued to train myself, I sharpen my skills by hunting more powerful prey every single day. Using my knowledge from my past life, I made various tools that make my life easier. Due to the peculiar tattoos all over my body, I was even shunned by my own race, but I still didn’t lost hope. All because I have a goal to achieve!

Even though I have lost everything, such as my pretty face, or my peaceful high school life, I am still able to live on strongly because I have a goal. I am thankful for the mysterious figure if just for this much.

After one month has passed since I was reborn as a Goblin, I finally found her. Fiore was also reincarnated as a Goblin in the same tribe as me. I can tell that much because of the special connection between our souls, I am hundred percent certain that Goblin that was just born is Fiore.

On this day, I swore to myself that I will work hard to retrieve all the fragments of Fiore’s past memories. Thus my struggle and adventure begins!

Enjoy the read!

I looked towards to Sylvidia for an answer but she only shook her head and said it is too complicated to explain.

I keep pestering her until she finally answered plainly, “When a Spirit received mana from their master, they can use those Magic Power to manifest themselves and make themselves visible to the naked eyes of common people. But of course, it will keep draining the Magic Power of the master when they manifested themselves.”

“Wait… so you mean if it keeps doing that, Sheena’s Magic Power will be drained empty? Shouldn’t we warn Sheena about this?” I couldn’t help but feel concerned.

“Well… worry not, at most it can only keep that up for ten consecutive minutes.” Sylvidia reassured me by telling me that Futaba will not be able to remain in this state for more than ten minutes in a single run.

Something crossed my mind and I couldn’t help but ask, “But what’s the point of making oneself visible? Wouldn’t it be more advantageous in a fight if your opponent cannot see you?”

“Hrm… That is true, but for some opponent, even if they cannot see us, they can sense our presence with Magic Perception. Besides, it’s not like it is all disadvantage when we Spirits manifest ourselves. Our power will increase by twofold when we did.”Or so Sylvidia said.

“I see… does that mean you can drain my Magic Power to manifest yourself too?” After thinking for a while, I asked Sylvidia.

Sylvidia answered without batting an eye, “Although our relationship is different from that of a master and their familiar, I am soul-bounded with you by means of the Divine Artifact. As long as I can draw Soul Essence from you, it is possible for me to manifest myself.”

“Soul Essence? What is that?” I am confused when I heard Sylvidia used a term other than Magic Power.

“You see… I am a little different from the other Spirits. Most Spirit Item usually get stronger by drawing Spiritual Power from their master, yet I didn’t get any stronger at all over the past few years that I spent with my previous master. That’s why I was unable to unleash my true power back then. It seems I need Soul Essence in order to recover my Spiritual Body.” Sylvidia answered with a slightly gloomy face.

Then she asked me, “Do you know what we call the extraction of the Spiritual Body?”

After pondering for a while, I answered, “Don’t tell me… that is the Soul Essence?”

Sylvidia nodded and said, “Exactly! That is the Soul Essence. There are two methods for one to obtain Soul Essence, one is to kill your opponent and absorb their soul. The second is to draw the Soul Essence from a Spiritual Being.

Although the process of drawing Soul Essence from a Spirit is much slower, a Spirit can recover their Spiritual Body by absorbing Spiritual Power from third party sources, so it is possible to get unlimited amount of Soul Essence from them.

However, no Spirits would willingly share their Soul Essence with anyone, a Spiritual Body is equivalent to a Spirit’s lifespan, as well as power. Every time a Spirit used their power, they are actually using a portion of their own Spiritual Body. When the Spiritual Body of a Spirit is totally spent, they will inevitably die. You are fine because you possess a Material Body, your Spiritual Power will recover naturally, which will in turn mend your Spiritual Body.” Sylvidia finally ended her lengthy explanation with this.

“Wait… But why can’t you use Spiritual Power to recover your Spiritual Body like the other Spirits?” I couldn’t help but ask.

Sylvidia had a distant gaze and began telling another lengthy story, “You see… I am an incomplete Spirit, a Spirit usually required five hundred years or more to take shape and regain their sentience.

I, however, became a Spirit in merely a few decades. The moment my Material Body perished, I immediately transfer my weakened soul to the Blank Slate. After which, the Blank Slate was dropped in the depths of the dungeon.

My soul was nurtured by the dense Magic Power of the dungeon, and I was able to regain my sentience in merely a few decades. But as a consequence, I am unable to draw Spiritual Power from outside sources directly!”

Sylvidia gritted her teeth in frustration, but her face suddenly lighten up when she looked at me, “However, with you around, I will be able to draw unlimited Soul Essence from you without worry! I can finally see the hope of recovering my former strength!”

I didn’t really pay much attention to the latter part of her story when I heard a Spirit required five hundred years to manifest, my mind numbed for a moment, and I blurted out, “Wait… What do you mean a Spirit requires five hundred years to regain their sentience? If I remember correctly… in the Guild Card, it clearly says… I am 163 of age… Does that mean I am also an incomplete Spirit?”

“Well… Your case is slightly different from mine.” Sylvidia hesitated for a while and started to explain, “This is an extremely rare case… I have only heard of it happening once in the legend, when a young boy was dying, he was possessed by an incomplete Spirit and was reborn as the first elf in history.”

“What happened to the Spirit and the boy in the end?” I am starting to get a little anxious, I asked hurriedly.

But Sylvidia only answered heartily like it’s no one else’s business, “Well… who knows… maybe the boy and the Spirit became one being and co-existed together, or maybe one of them consumed the others.”

“Gulp…… W-where… did you hear this legend from?” I felt a chill down my spine, my future seemed a bit uncertain. Will I perish from this world and be consumed by the real owner of this body, or will I take over this body and carry on the will of the real owner? Nobody knows for sure…

Sylvidia announced, “From the secret village of elves, in the Forest of Alden!”

I thought to myself, “Seems like I need to make a trip to the Forest of Alden in the near future… I need to get to the bottom of this matter!”

While we were having some serious conversations on our side, Sheena and Futaba had explained to the villagers the importance of the vessel, the benefits they will gain from the blessing, they also reminded the villagers to offer their prayers everyday, and guard the vessel properly, or else they will receive the wrath of god.

After that, they briefly explain what happened in the forest, but of course they didn’t mention about the Spirit King. When all that needs to be said is said and done, Sheena gave the earring to the village chief, Olaf, and had him enshrine the earring in the temple.

Now… we can finally make our way back to the academy! Or so I thought… but Sheena ordered me to go wash myself in the lake nearby since I stink of drool, and to take along the Goblin Trio with me while I’m at it.

Sheena had somehow tricked the villagers to think that the Goblin Trio are the messengers of the Angel from earlier, so she had them prepare some proper clothes for them. Meanwhile, the villager will prepare a feast for us, we will only go back to the academy after that.

Author’s Note

Oh boy… this chapter took SO LONG to write… suddenly went a little off topic again when a wild idea struck me. Took me so long to restructure the sentence, and logic to make any sense out of them. Sorry if this chapter is full of gibberish that doesn’t make sense. Do let me know if there is a flaw in the logic that can be improved 😛

P.S. I will be going to China for 1 week so there’s no new chapter next week.

Shing! Shing!

Both earrings glowed brightly when Iqaos infused his Spiritual Power into them. Although Sylvidia felt a bit suspicious, she didn’t say anything since she couldn’t be sure.

After a while, the bright glow finally dimmed, the earrings look the same as before but now they have this divine presence around them, it felt a bit magical. Seeing that the process is done already, I slowly retracted my hand.

“It is done, now… please put on your earring.” Iqaos prompted me to put on the earring as soon as he’s done. All of us didn’t suspect anything and I just attached the earring to the lobe of my left ear directly. I would have done just that even without Iqaos telling me to do so though.

As soon as the earring is properly attached, I could feel a surge of divine energy flooding within me. I couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprise, “T-this is-!”

“Kukuku… It seems like you noticed!” Iqaos chuckled smugly. At the same time, he also thought to himself secretly, “Now, turn into my mana tank, kuhahaha!”

“Hm? What, what? What is happening?” Sheena was confused and looked back and forth between our exchange.

“Well… the thing is… as soon as I put on the earring, I could feel a surge of power welling up within it… It feels like… the earring is much more potent than before…” I tried to describe the strange feeling I’m getting from the earring to Sheena as clearly as possible.

“Hm-hm-hmph! Obviously! That earring is infused with my father’s Spiritual Power after all! It might not be as powerful as a Spirit Item nor a Divine Artifact, but it is still more powerful than an ordinary Magic Item!” Futaba explained proudly, she raised her head high and put both hands on the waist.

“Kukuku… now that everything here has been settled, how about we head to Pharamville immediately?” As he said that, Iqaos walked towards Sheena prompted her to hold on to the other half of the earrings.

All of us were confused, “Isn’t he supposed to keep one of the vessel for himself?” Or so we thought at the time, but Sheena still took the earring from Iqaos without saying a word. When she did so, Iqaos finally explained, “We need to enshrine that vessel in the local temple. Can I request you to do that for me?”

“O-oh… sure! Hehehe…” Sheena laughed awkwardly since she thought Iqaos was giving that earring to her. I couldn’t help but sympathize with her at the moment. If I was in her boots, I probably would have misunderstood as well.

With that said and done, all of us headed towards the small town of Pharamville. When we got back to the town, we can see the newly constructed temple that is made up of polished rocks.

In front of the small temple, almost all the villagers are kowtowing there and praying as if their life depended on it. I guess all of them had noticed the giant fox shadow from earlier, I can even see some of them trembling in fear.

I can’t really blame them for acting like this, that shadow fox was truly terrifying. That ear-piercing howl alone could strike fear in the hearts of many, even Sylvidia’s face had turned pale at the sight of the shadow fox.

In the foremost position of the temple are the village chief, Olaf, and the village girl, Samie. When Samie saw us approaching the temple, tears welled up in her eyes. She immediately stood up and ran towards us with teary eyes. At the same time she is running, she raised one of her hand high into the sky, and waved at us while shouting in delight, “Everyone!! I’m so glad you’re safe! We were so worried when that giant fox appeared!”

When Samie got in front of us, she grabbed my hands and said with teary eyes, “I was really… really… so worried… You have already done so much for us, I really wouldn’t know how can I ever repay you if you are dead… Hic-hic!” ⌈¹⌋

“Koraaa! You shouldn’t be so rude to our guest!” The village chief got behind Samie not long later and bonked her head.

“Ow…… You shouldn’t hit your daughter’s head like that, father!” Samie raised her complain while clutching the back of her head with both hands.

Although we were rather surprised that the village girl is actually the daughter of the village chief, that is not important at the moment. We looked around but we couldn’t find any trace of Albert and the Gryphon Riders.

“Where is Albe… Alby and the others?” Sheena asked the village chief, Olaf.

“That…” The village chief explained how when they saw the shadow fox, the Gryphon Riders immediately summoned their Gryphons and took off to search for us in the forest. Albert seems to have tagged along with them.

Flap! Flap!

“Squawk! Squawk!” Just around this time, we could hear the sound of flapping wings and the loud noise made by a bird. When we looked overhead, it was actually Albert’s familiar, the Thunderhawk, Spark.

The Thunderhawk is circling in the sky above us. It seems like it is trying to let Albert know of our current position. That Thunderhawk appears quite smart, it must be a monster with high intelligence.

Not long later, we can hear more flapping sound coming from the location of the forest. When we turn our heads over there, we can see three Gryphons flying over here. On top of the Gryphons are Albert, Caelum, and the other two riders.

Before the Gryphons even landed, Albert immediately jumped off from the Gryphon. He is fine only because the Gryphon was gliding at low altitude. Ignoring all else, Albert immediately ran towards us and pulled Sheena into his embrace.

Albert said in a shaky voice, “I… am so glad… so glad that you’re safe… Sheena…”

“A-Albert… W-what do you think you’re doing, we’re in the public!” Is what Sheena didn’t say when she felt Albert was trembling slightly.

She only lightly patted Albert’s back and said in a soothing voice, “Albert… It’s fine now. Everything is fine now…”

After a while, Albert finally calmed down and noticed the fox girl beside Sheena, he couldn’t help but ask, “This is……”

Sheena’s smile suddenly turned really bright and said in a cheerful voice, “My Lil Futaba!”

“W-Who is your Futaba! And I’m not little! Mu-kiii-! And stop clinging to me—!” Futaba raised her futile complain and got captured by the hungry beast again.

“C-could that be… the fox deity!” The villagers raised a commotion when they noticed Futaba.

When Futaba noticed the adoration in the eyes of every villagers, she folded her arms below her non-existence breasts and said haughtily, “Hm-hm-hmph! Grovel before me! For I am the proxy of the fox deity!”

It would have been effective, if not for Sheena clinging closely to her and rubbing her cheek against Futaba. Everyone looked at the scene with comforting gazes. This only makes Futaba feel all the more embarrassed, “Mu-kiii-! It didn’t work! Hey, get off me, human girl! You’re making me look lame! Mou~~!” ⌈²⌋

“It’s not human girl! It’s Sheena, repeat after me, Sh-ee-na~” As Sheena and Futaba were making various exchange, I couldn’t help but wonder, “How come everyone can see Futaba now…”

Author’s Note

Um… guys… Have I ever described the appearance of the village girl? I don’t think I did… right? o_O

Yea… how come everyone can see Futaba? Anyone can give me an answer? XD

---

---

　

---

---

Everyone could only smile wryly at the heart-warming scene before them. Though it might not be so heart-warming for our little Futaba, since she is struggling to get free from Sheena’s embrace.

After Futaba finally get free from Sheena’s ceaseless assault, Iqaos finally opened his mouth to talk about the issue at hands, regarding the blessings for the town of Pharamville.

“Although I already agreed to give my blessings to the town of Pharamville, I still need a vessel. Have you prepared any?” Iqaos said solemnly.

“Vessel?” Sheena and I tilted our heads to the side simultaneously.

Iqaos heaved a sigh and explained, “Alas… I figured as much. I will explain so listen carefully, a Spirit gets tainted easily by the evil in human’s heart if they stay in touch with humans for too long a period. That is why we need a divine artifact, or any sacred object that will not get tainted easily by the human’s wickedness.”

Then Iqaos turned his attention towards Sylvidia and revealed a wicked smile, “Like Sylvidia’s Blank Slate for example.”

“Hmph!” Sylvidia snorted coldly and said, “I offered you the Blank Slate in exchange for your blessings earlier, but you rejected! It’s too late now. Hmph!”

In truth, Sylvidia was very unwilling to part with the Blank Slate, but knowing the Divine Fox’s temper, only something like this would be able to move him. The only reason she willingly offered the Blank Slate was because she knew that although Iqaos will receive some of the Faith Power from the believers, most of it will still go to the Goddess of Light. After acquiring some merits here and there, she will be able to request for another divine artifacts from the Goddess of Light.

But now, since Iqaos had already agreed to give his blessing to Pharamville, there is no reason for Sylvidia to give him the Blank Slate anymore.

Although Sheena cannot understand what Sylvidia is saying now, she was able to guess from Sylvidia’s temperament, she tried to convince the Divine Fox, “Lord Iqaos, is there anything else other than the Blank Slate that will work as a vessel?”

Upon hearing Sheena’s question, Iqaos looked around and finally, his sight settled on me.

“W-what did he want from me?” I couldn’t help but feel nervous inwardly.

After a while, Iqaos finally opened his mouth and said, “That earring of yours, I can feel a pure energy from it. Perhaps that’ll do for now.”

These Teardrop Earrings are gifts from Sheena to me, she spent a huge fortune to buy these to commemorate our long-term relationship to come. If Sheena wanted to give these earrings to Iqaos, I have no qualms about it. However, is this really worth it? I couldn’t help but have second thoughts, so I looked towards Sheena and raised my concern, “Sheena, may I chip in a few words of concern?”

Sheena nodded and simply said, “You may.”

Then I said without any restrain, “You spent a fortune to get these earrings for me, although I have no qualms about giving these earrings to Iqaos if you wish for it, but I want you to consider, is this really worth it?”

“Hahaha!” Iqaos laughed at my question and answered, “You are a calculative one I see! The benefits that come from my blessing doesn’t only keep the weak monsters from approaching, anyone who is within my boundary will have their luck significantly increased, one can detect the presence of hostile foes easily so the chances of getting ambushed decreased significantly, one can also recover their mana faster within my boundary, and many more benefits to come as I gather more Faith Power.”

I looked at Iqaos dubiously, I couldn’t help but ask, “Is that really the case?”

“If you don’t believe me, just ask Sylvidia.” Iqaos simply redirected the question to Sylvidia. I turned my head towards Sylvidia and she simply nodded her head and said, “He is right, as long as you are within his boundary, you will be benefited greatly. A little earring like this is well worth the price. Besides, you won’t be needing that measly earring in the near future, your mana is still growing at an astounding speed.”

“Really? The benefits still doesn’t seem that attractive to me though…” I am still feeling somewhat doubtful.

“Well the benefits won’t be very apparent, but Iqaos’ boundary should also encompass the Magic Academy, your next three school years will probably be blessed with good luck! I didn’t say this earlier but within a blessed boundary, the elemental essence will be purer and more concentrated, so your training speed will inevitably become much faster.” That last bit of Sylvidia’s words totally convinced me, although I’m still a bit reluctant to rely on luck, if I can increase my base power faster, that is all the more welcome.

I turn my head towards Sheena and nodded, “It seems to be the truth, what is your decision? You are the one who bought these earrings in the end, the decision is yours to make.”

I took off the earrings and hand it over to Sheena as I press her to make the final decision. Sheena was a little troubled over what to do, I guess she’s weak under pressure, when she was facing the Spirit King earlier, she immediately looked to me for help. She keeps glancing at me, Iqaos and the earrings on her palm repeatedly.

In the end, she finally made up her mind, she raised her head and said, “I know! How about we do this instead?” She walked towards me and handed over one piece of earring, “One for you.”

“Eh?” I couldn’t help but let out a sound involuntarily, I have no idea what she is trying to do. Then she walked towards Iqaos and gave him the other half, “And one for you.”

“Eh? What are you…” As I tried to ask Sheena what is she trying to do, she stood up and walked a few steps backward from Iqaos, then she said, “Lord Iqaos, you only needed one object that can serve as a vessel right? Then I believe you won’t be needing a pair of earrings, just one of them will do right?”

“Hahaha! That is indeed the case! Very well, I will accept this piece of earring as my vessel. Sylvidia’s vessel, come forward!” Iqaos accepted it quite easily, however when he asked me to come forward, I couldn’t help but frown.

“Just what did he want now?” I cursed silently in my heart, but I still walked towards him obediently.

“Show me your earring!” When Iqaos demanded that I show him the one I got from Sheena, I couldn’t help but ask, “What are you trying to do?”

Iqaos answered honestly, “Since these two earrings come as a pair, I need to embed my Spiritual Power in both simultaneously.”

“Is that so…” After understanding Iqaos’ action, I show him the earring that I am holding voluntarily.

What we didn’t know was what Iqaos was scheming at the time, when he embedded his Spiritual Power into the earrings, it turned into a Spirit Item.

A Spirit Item is an item possessed by a Spiritual being, it can also be considered as a Divine Artifact in some cases. Like Sylvidia’s Blank Slate for example, it was normally an ancient artifact, but after her Material Body perished, she became a Spirit and used the Blank Slate as her vessel, which transformed it into a Divine Artifact.

Spirit Item and Divine Artifact possessed special ability, but the drawback is that the Spiritual being can keep feeding on the owner’s mana. If you haven’t figured it out yet, what Iqaos was planning to do was to turn this earring into a Spirit Item, so that he can drain my Spiritual Power slowly to strengthen himself. Iqaos is a really sly fox indeed, that is probably the main reason why he and the honest Sylvidia never got along. Other than his craftiness, he’s not a bad person at heart… is what I want to believe.

Before Sheena could finish her sentence, a little golden fox came out from the thicket behind Iqaos. Sheena’s heart was completely caught by that cute little critter.

“Arf…” The little fox let out a cute bark.

The last defense on Sheena’s heart completely shattered at this moment, but fortunately, she was able to restrain herself from going out of control.

I could literally see her eyes gleaming, and her fingers are moving irregularly, it seemed like she could lose her self-restrain any time soon and trap the little fox in her embrace.

Seeing this, Iqaos couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Hahaha! If you like her, she’ll be yours!”

“Eh?! I can keep her?” That was the last straw, the beast within Sheena has been unleashed! Without saying another word, Sheena immediately stretched her hands out to grab the little fox. The little fox sensed something menacing approaching her and tried to run away, but it was too late! She was already within the embrace of the hungry beast.

The hungry beast… I mean Sheena, she held the little fox with both hands and rubbed her cheek against the little critter. The little fox seems a bit annoyed but it was powerless against Sheena’s merciless assault.

Poof! Just around this time, the little fox transformed into a human figure with a poof sound. She tried to push Sheena away with her slender hands, “Keep away from me, human girl!”

The transformed little fox was wearing a shrine maiden garment, a pair of fox-like ears exposed themselves at the side of her long golden hair. She only has one tail in contrast to Iqaos, at the tip of her golden tail, it was pure white. Her big, round eyes were like a pair of ruby. She was the epitome of cuteness, there was no other words more suitable to describe her.

Seeing the transformed little fox, Sheena strengthened her grip and embraced it even more tightly. She couldn’t help but let out a squeal, “Kyaa~~! So cute!!”

Iqaos could only laugh merrily at the scene before him. On the other hand, I had a lot of conflicting thoughts. Where did Sheena get all these strength from? Why is the little fox wearing shrine maiden outfit? All these doubts will probably remain unanswered.

Iqaos finally introduced the little fox to us after Sheena calmed down a bit, “This is my daughter, Futaba.”

“EHHHH?!” We couldn’t help but cry out in shock, even Sylvidia couldn’t believe what she was hearing, that Iqaos actually had a daughter?!

“Hm-hmph!” That little fox, Futaba, raised her head high and said arrogantly, “Now you know how important I am, prostrate yourself before me!” Futaba stretched her right hand forward and pointed downwards with the index finger.

Iqaos raised his right paw and hit Futaba’s head from behind, then he reprimanded her, “How many times do I have to tell you not to act so arrogant?”

Futaba squat on the ground and grabbed the back of her head with both hands, she let out a soft complain, “Uuu…… but-!”

At this time, I couldn’t help but retort in my mind, “Aren’t you just as arrogant? Like father, like daughter……” I bet Sylvidia was thinking the same thing at the moment, she had that blank expression on her face.

Seeing Futaba pouting on the ground like that, Iqaos heaved a sigh. He faced Sheena and said in a serious tone, “I will give her to you, please take care of Futaba for me.”

Upon hearing this, Futaba immediately jumped up from the ground and raised her voice, “Eh?! F-father!! Don’t treat me like some object! You can’t just simply ‘give’ me to someone else like that?! I object!!”

Sheena approached Futaba from behind and locked Futaba into her embrace once more. Sheena said with a delighted expression, “Hehehe~ Don’t worry, Lord Iqaos, I will take extra good care of your daughter!”

Futaba was really unhappy and wanted to break away from Sheena’s embrace, she struggled to pull her hands away, “Ey~! Let go of me, human girl! I am not going with you!”

Iqaos looked at the fox girl sternly and said, “Futaba! This is an order, I was just thinking it was about time to let you leave this forest and explore the world. This is the perfect opportunity! Now, Miss Sheena, if you would do the honor of sealing the familiar contract!”

“Of course!” Sheena nodded and began chanting the contract sealing spell, “In the name of the Overgod of Fate, bind this one’s soul with mine……”

“Ah-! Wait… I said time out! W-wait, no! Don’t do it!” Futaba was flustered when Sheena started chanting the spell. The spell is like a curse that will bind her and rob her freedom for a lifetime.

After the sealing contract was done, a magic circle similar to mine was embedded in between the non-existent breasts of young Futaba. Iqaos secretly thought to himself upon seeing the crest, “Fufufu… just like I thought, that is the Crest of Truth. With that, Futaba will be awaked to the truth of the world sooner than later. She will definitely grow stronger than me in the future! If she can surpass even the Spirit King, then I wouldn’t have to live under her dominance anymore! Fuhahahah!”

The Crest of Truth, that is a skill granted to the familiars of the Contractor. The Contractor is a special title given to those who made a contract with a Spirit King. Those who were granted the Crest of Truth will gain the wisdom of god, allowing them to comprehend the profound mysteries of the world.

Futaba suddenly becomes visible in the naked eyes of the Goblin Trio after the familiar contract was finalized. Upon seeing the unfamiliar figure appearing out of nowhere, the Goblin Trio raised their vigilance and prepared to attack at any moment.

Seeing their aggressive behavior, Sheena immediately pulled Futaba into her embrace and shouted at the Goblin Trio, “Don’t be mean to my Futaba!”

The Goblin Trio was at a loss and scratched their heads, they had no idea what is going on and looked at me for an explanation. I briefly explained everything to the Goblin Trio, about a Divine Fox that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, about the appearance of the Spirit King, about the contract with the little fox, and so on.

“W-who are you calling y-y-your Futaba?! Mu-kiiii-!” Futaba blushed as she tried to push Sheena away.

“Uh……” Sheena was at a lost for words, she didn’t know what to do. All she know was that she didn’t want to see someone being killed in front of her, even if they are her enemies.

Sheena sent me the puppy eyes, asking for my help with her gaze. I couldn’t really say no to that, but even if you ask me, I also don’t know what to do in this situation. Just how are we supposed to convince the almighty Spirit King to let a pawn lives?

Sheena kept sending me the puppy eyes, I really wanted to turn my head the other way but I couldn’t, not after receiving that pure gaze. I scratched my head and opened my mouth to speak, “Ah… geez~! Fine already…”

I stood up and whispered to Sylvidia through our spiritual link, “Sylvidia, any ideas how to convince the Spirit King to let Iqaos go?”

Sylvidia just replied uncaringly, “Hmph! He deserved it, I don’t intent to help that jerk!” Then she looked the other way and whispered softly, “He actually dares to treat me so lightly, if it was before……”

⌈Ah~! So unfair! Why do I have to get myself caught up in this mess… Gr-nununununu… I guess it’s do-or-die!⌋

I grinded my teeth and hardened my resolve, then I start to speak, “Spirit King, can you please give Iqaos one more chance?”

“Hoh~? Young spirit, you nearly got yourself killed by Iqaos, yet you want to help him?” Spirit King Aria inquired.

I shuddered involuntarily when she called me the ‘young spirit’, it makes me wonder if there is a special method for the Spirits to determine one’s identity. Sylvidia was able to tell I was a Spirit at first glance, so is the Spirit King in front of me. I really wanted to ask but I guess that can wait…

“It is true that my life was almost taken by Iqaos, but it is also thanks to him that I was able to get stronger. Please give him one more chance!” I speak resolutely.

“Fufufu~ Is that your real reason, young spirit?” Spirit King Aria smiled mischievously. I was completely entranced by her smile and spoke truthfully.

“T-the truth is… I don’t really care what happens to Iqaos! I-in fact… I think it is better that is he gone from the world, so as to avoid giving myself more trouble in the future!”

“S-sylvia-! How could you say something like that……” Sheena looked at me disbelievingly.

Sylvidia suddenly turned around and laughed loudly, “Hahaha! No wonder you’re my Master! I am starting to like you even more now!”

Spirit King Aria also burst into a fit of laughter while holding her stomach and smacking her thigh with one hand, “Fufu-fuhahahahahahaha-! I like it! I like your honesty! Hahaha!” When the Spirit King was like that, she seemed more like a child. The imposing aura from earlier seemed like a hallucination.

“Eh?” I was gobsmacked, was that supposed to be funny? I had no idea what is going on at all. But before I had a chance to think about anything else, Spirit King Aria suddenly said, “Thanks for the good laugh!”

I couldn’t help it anymore and these words just escapes my mouth automatically, “EHHH?! W-what is going on? Was that supposed to be funny? I was being completely honest…”

Spirit King Aria wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes and said, “I admire your honesty, but I never thought… pfft-!” The Spirit King was trying to hold back her laughter from mid-sentence.

I seriously don’t get it… what was so funny? Did the Spirit King have a weird sense of humor? The reason the Spirit King was laughing was because what I said was completely contrary to what she was thinking, so she was very delighted that her expectation was betrayed.

If I had answered with some cliché lines like ⌈your enemy today could be your friend tomorrow⌋ or some revolting lines like that, the Spirit King might really just kill Iqaos on the spot. But of course, I wouldn’t know what was the Spirit King thinking at the time.

Spirit King Aria suddenly turned around to face Iqaos and Sheena, then she opened her tiny mouth and said, “Very well! I will give Iqaos one more chance! If something like this happens again, he will immediately be disposed of!”

I gave up trying to figure out what the Spirit King was thinking, my head hurts just thinking about it. I could only heave a sigh of relieve that she had a change of mind. Whatever the cause, I don’t even want to think about it any further.

Although Sheena was still a little unhappy with my answer, she was delighted when Spirit King Aria suddenly decided to give Iqaos a leeway. She also heaved a sigh of relief. Sheena bowed respectfully towards the Spirit King and thanked her sincerely, then she turned to face Iqaos and said gently, “Lord Iqaos, can you please listen to our request one more time? Please give your blessing to the town of Pharamville.”

“Ah… You saved my life, young lady. I will heed your request…” Iqaos suddenly turned very humble towards Sheena. No one knew whether it was because she saved his life or because she is the contractor of the Spirit King. Being a contractor of the Spirit King means that Sheena has the power to control all the spirits under the domain of the Spirit King.

But it seems Sheena herself wasn’t aware of her power yet, she didn’t even use this power when we were facing the Abyss Beast. If she had, she might be able to beat the Abyss Beast all by herself? That thought suddenly crossed my mind and I shuddered when I think about Sheena’s future potential.

But just how did she form a contract with the Spirit King? If I asked her, she probably wouldn’t know either, judging from her action earlier, it doesn’t seem like she remembers meeting the Spirit King in the past. Otherwise, she would have approached the matter differently.

“Hmph! Very well… Sylvidia, I will go back to inform the Goddess of Light of your whereabouts. Stay well!” With a whoosh, the Spirit King disappeared without a trace.

When the Spirit King was gone, the place was filled with silence, I was the first to speak, “…… She come and goes like a wind……”

“Huhuhu- Of course, she is the Spirit King of the Wind after all!” Sylvidia answered proudly.

Iqaos lifted his head to face Sheena and asked humbly, “Come to think of it, I haven’t heard of your name yet, young lady.”

“My name is Sheena, pleased to meet you Lord Iqaos.” Sheena smiled brightly.

“Sheena… Very well, Miss Sheena, as thanks for saving me, I shall grant you a reward!” Iqaos suddenly turned his head towards the thicket and shouted, “Futaba, come on out!”

“R-reward? I didn’t do it for th-”
*Pa-kyuun*

Before Sheena could finish her sentence, a little golden fox came out from the thicket behind Iqaos. Sheena’s heart was completely caught by that cute little critter. Girls are always like this, they get easily distracted by cute things.

Author’s Note:

I feel like this chapter just turned a bit weird… What of your impression?

So… just a few days ago, I received a negative feedback regarding my style of writing. I tried not to mind it but I guess I am concerned after all. But I wasn’t discouraged because I know some of you out there who enjoyed my work. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you know who you are 😉

I just have a few comment regarding his feedback.

Q: Why was Sylvia more comfortable calling Sheena, “Master”, when she came from a world where people likes their freedom.

A: Yes, it is true we come from a world with no enslavement, but there is still something called hierarchy. Do you ever call your teacher by their name, for example?

Q: As for the elemental laws and the whole revamp of the world not being even 1% similar to the original world of zero no tsukaima makes one wonder why even write about it?

A: When I started writing this story, I didn’t really have a plot yet. But now I can say this, it is still too early to judge a book by its cover. I intend to slowly uncover the changes in the world of Zero no Tsukaima and implement even more concepts that I found interesting in other series.

Q: It would be far more fun if it was just a reincarnation story with a familiar system.

A: I don’t intent to write a boring story based on the same old system. It is far more interesting to come up with something new.

Q: Dumping elemental laws on the MC out of nowhere while the MASTER cannot even cast magic stronger than a lightning bolt. It is just not a story anymore but a story for the author to dump his obsession with Coiling Dragons in it.

A: I won’t deny the claim that I am obsessed with Coiling Dragon. And it is still far too early to judge Sheena as weak, I haven’t even gone into character development yet…

“T-that is… the Spirit King!” Sylvidia sent the message directly in my mind urgently.

“T-the Spirit what?!” I couldn’t believe my ears and was convinced that I just misheard, but after hearing Sylvidia reaffirmed that the figure currently descending from the heaven is indeed a Spirit King, I couldn’t help but ask, “W-why is the Spirit King… here of all places?”

Sylvidia remained silent, she didn’t say anything and just turned her attention to Sheena. It seems like she knows something, but she wouldn’t tell me about it. I can tell from her gesture that the descend of the Spirit King probably has something to do with Sheena.

I know it is not a good idea to pry on other people’s privacy so I didn’t press on. In time, I will probably hear it from the person herself.

The godly figure of the Spirit King was really small since it was so high in the sky, but after it descended to several meter above ground, it is still just as tiny.

The Spirit King has a pair of beautiful translucent butterfly wings attached to her back. Her long platinum hair, her slender skin, her crimson eyes, her appearance is very eye-catching. She has a majestic aura around her, she looks really stunning. However…… she is TOO SMALL!! Her height is probably only around 20 centimeter, she is only a little taller than the palm size of an adult.

She looks just like a… that’s right, she looked exactly like a Pixie in the fairy tale! I couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “The Spirit King is a…… a Pixie?!”

The Spirit King frowned upon hearing my statement, she turned her attention to me and said with a hint of disgust, “Hmph! Don’t lump me together with the lowly Pixie race. I am a proud fairy-kin.”

Sylvidia immediately took over the control of my body, and kneel on the ground with one knee touching the ground. We were able to move only because the Spirit King has already lifted her God Realm some time ago.

Sylvidia lowered our ⌈¹⌋ head respectfully and said with sincerity, “Lord Aria, it has been a while. I apologize on behalf of my host, she is still new to this world and didn’t know of many things. I will properly educate her in the future! I beg your forgiveness for her rude remark.”

The Spirit King, Aria, looked at us interestingly, “Hoh… ? Is that you, Sylvidia? Hehehe, I don’t believe my eyes… you are actually still alive after all that? You are quite resilient, if the Goddess of Light know you are still alive, she will be very delighted! And moreover……” The Spirit King flew in front of us, then she looked at us up and down to size us up.

“Hehehe~” Spirit King Aria laughed charmingly, her smile was so beautiful that it would steal the soul of any man who gazed at it. Even though I am in the body of a girl now, my mind is still that of a man. Then she said with a sweet voice, “It seems you have found a good host, Sylvidia.”

Sylvidia nodded her head in affirmation, “That is indeed the case.”

“That’s good~ That’s good~ Then does that mean you are not planning to return to the Goddess of Light’s side?” Spirit King Aria gazed into our eyes and asked Sylvidia firmly.

“With all due respect, Lord Aria, with my current level of strength. I am not worthy to stand beside a mighty god.” Sylvidia answered without any hesitation.

“Fu…… fair enough!” Spirit King Aria let out of breath, then she turned around to face the Divine Fox. She crossed her forearms under her breasts, then she barked at him with her sweet voice, “Iqaos! Why didn’t you stop attacking when I ordered you to stop!”

The Divine Fox’s already pale face turned even lighter, he answered in a panic,” M-my Lord- I…… I didn’t know it was you! Please! I beg your forgiveness!”

“Hmph! You tried to steal my contractor, that sin is unforgivable!” Spirit King Aria said in disdain.

“Contractor? Did the Spirit King mean Sheena?” These thoughts suddenly flooded my mind, I couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “EHHHH?!?! By contractor, you don’t mean-!”

“H-hey! Master! What are you doing?! If you keep flustering like that-!” Sylvidia sent the message to my mind simultaneously, but before she can finish her sentence…

“Kweeeeeen-KABOOM!” With an explosive sound, our Armatization was cancelled, even our Beast Form Transfiguration had been undone. I changed back into an elf, Sylvidia was separated from my body forcefully. The Divine Artifact, Blank Slate, exited my body from the cleavage and dropped to the ground.

Due to our mind going out of sync, the Armatization was forcefully cancelled. We both fell to the ground due to the powerful force pulling us apart.

“Ouch! That hurts~!” I rubbed my butt that was the first to hit the ground with teary eyes.

Sylvidia stood up on all four and let out a defeated sigh, “Haiz…… You are still far too immature. You need more training!” Then Sylvidia turned to Spirit King Aria, she extended one of her forehoof forward, while the other forehoof was kneeling on the ground. ⌈²⌋ I have never seen a real horse take a bowing position before. But now, a genuine Divine Steed, a Winged Unicorn, is actually bowing before the Spirit King.

Then Sylvidia said respectfully, “I apologize for the disturbance that my Master has caused, please carry on with what you were doing, Lord Aria.”

Spirit King Aria revealed a slight smile and whispered to herself amusingly, “Hmph! What an interesting host! She actually dared to act so daringly in my presence.” Then she turned her head back to face Iqaos, “So… ? What do you have to say for yourself, Iqaos? Do you have any last word?”

Iqaos turned even paler, if he turns even more paler than this, I fear that he might really die from anxiety. Iqaos plead in a hurry, “My lord-! Please, I don’t know anything. I really don’t know anything! I had no idea she is your…”

“Silence! This is a clear act of betrayal. Today, you will die!” Spirit King Aria didn’t wait for Iqaos to finish the sentence. She lifted the glorious divine sword that was in her hand and generated a gale around it.

Just when she was about to strike Iqaos, Sheena stood up and ran in between them to stop the attack. She spread her arms wide and faced Spirit King Aria, she made an appeal for Iqaos, “Please, just stop this already! He doesn’t have the will to fight!”

“Sheena……” Spirit King Aria whispered softly, then she raised her voice, “Why did you help him? He was trying to forcefully make you enter a contract with him!”

“I…… I mean w-we need him! We need him to give his blessing to the local village nearby!” Sheena stuttered at first, but later on, she picked up her courage and said firmly.

“If you need a Celestial Spirit to give their blessing to the local village, I can give you as much as you want. It didn’t have to be him!” Spirit King Aria said with conviction.

“Uh……” Sheena was at a lost for words, she didn’t know what to do. All she know was that she didn’t want to see someone being killed in front of her, even if they are her enemies.

Author’s Note:

Now if you are wondering, why Spirit King when it is a female. Shouldn’t it be Spirit Queen instead? Well the answer is simple, Spirit King is simply a title. I mean… don’t you call a female Demon Lord as a Demon Lord as well? Do people actually call them Demon Queen?

What will happen in the next chapter? Will Sheena save Iqaos? Will the Spirit King allow Iqaos to live? Stay tuned next week!

Just when Iqaos was about to unleash the attack, a voice rang out in the mind of everyone present, “That is enough!”

Iqaos didn’t heed the voice and let loose of his divine ability, he laughed hysterically and shouted the name of his ultimate skill, “Hahaha! Devour her soul!! Anima Chaser!!”

After that, the ten meter tall shadow wolf transformed into a ray of black light and charged towards Sylvidia at lightning speed. However, right at this moment… every second feels like countless years to Sylvidia as her past memories replayed in her mind over and over.

Sylvidia suddenly thought to herself, “Ah… this is just like what happened the last time I was almost killed. Except this time… it will be true death!”

The Nine-Tailed Fox’s rejection didn’t come as a surprise to Sylvidia. Sheena, on the other hand, was getting a little frantic as she looked at the exchange between two ‘Celestial beings’. It seemed as if there were sparks between the two as they stared at each other intently.

She thought it would be rude to cut into the conversation between two seemingly high and lofty creatures, so she kept her silence as she looked at the two back and forth.

The Goblin trio didn’t know what was going on, they could hear the voice but they weren’t able to see anything. All they knew was that the situation looked very grim.

The village chief of Pharamville was a middle-aged man who was in his late forties. He had neatly cut short brown hair, with a few strains of white hair. He had a sturdy looking body as expected of someone who worked in the field.

As the village chief, Olaf, led us to the local shrine, the village girl went to gather the rest of the villagers.

We followed the village chief quietly while he introduced various places of the small village to us. Although there were not much in the village to begin with; Such as the General Store, the farm, the eatery, the barn, the tailor shop, the paddy field, the armory, and oh… did I already mention the farm?

When Sylvidia claimed that I was dwelling within her body, I retorted mentally since the body is technically my vessel. However, that was all I could do, I have exhausted most of my Spiritual Power so I couldn’t regain control over the body.

Sylvidia, on the other hand, was very pleased with their reaction. She stretched out the wings to the limit and spread out her hands while saying, “Child of God, I came here bearing the message of the Almighty One.”

At Sylvidia’s prompt, I began to envelop my soul with the Spiritual Power, slowly drawing out a portion of my Spiritual Body as demonstrated by Sylvidia earlier.

After that, I pulled a portion of the Spiritual Body away from the Sea of Consciousness. What I need to do next is to pull the Spiritual Body towards my palm, transfer the Spiritual Body through the skin of the wild boar, then guide it towards the wild boar’s Sea of Consciousness, and lastly, let it fuse with the Spiritual Body of the wild boar.

“Ehhhhh~?! I’m doing it by myself?” When Sylvidia abruptly asked me to perform the Soul Transfusion by myself, I couldn’t believe my own ears.

“Of couse, the fastest way to learn how to do it, is to experience it by yourself.” However, Sylvidia pushed the responsibility to me just like that.

“B-but you said…” I tried to talk back, but it was fruitless as Sylvidia had already prepared an answer for my question;

“I know what I said, it is indeed impossible to learn how to control your Spiritual Power that precisely in fractions of a second no matter how talented you are. But you already know how it feels, you already experienced it once, that’s the only advantage you hold. Although it won’t be easy, your success rate is at least much higher than what it was before.”

“Are you ready?” Before Sylvidia took control of the body, she tried to verify with me whether I am ready to start the operation or not.

“O-ooh!” I shouted in affirmation.

Following that, Sylvidia took over the body and said, “Very well! Let us begin the Soul Transfusion! I want you to focus on the internal flow of energy while I am performing the Soul Transfusion.”

“Y-you… You mean you have another method?!” I looked at Sylvidia with sparkly eyes while clasping my hands.

“Eh……? I’m looking at Sylvidia… right?” I asked because a white figure suddenly appeared in front of me out of thin air.

That was the figure of a white horse…… but that’s not all, there was a horn protruding from its forehead and a pair of silver wings clearly extended from both sides of its body.
