novelReunion with Spirit-san
| ← Ch.078 | Ch.080 → |
"This is my third summer vacation already... time really goes fast huh" (Lucas)
"What a stinky old woman.... despite being an innocent young girl" (Tsuchio)
"I′m not a old woman, I′m a old man! Besides, I'm not a young girl, I'm a young man! I have been saying it for three years already!" (Lucas)
I thought that time went by like an arrow. It's been three years since I've come to this world, and I was able to go to the third grade safely. Ah, it seems that the heroes were able to return to their original world properly. It seems that some nobles had been plotting to do something to prevent them from returning, but rumors were spread that they might cause a war against the countries if they didn't return so that those nobles were chanceless. I don't know why, but they came to say thank you to me before they returned home. It's been a long time ago. It seems that they will return home after being summoned without any memories of this world, so that they are able to live their lives as it is. I'm not sure if the last matter is true... but well, there's no choice but to trust this secret. Even if the heroes rampaged or the country is against it, I think that it will be still done firmly. There is pressure from the other countries.
Since the time Lime became a person, I need to fight against both Ruu and Lime at night. Ruu alone was already quite hard to handle and now Lime was added too. At first, I was leading, but I was attacked from the next. No slime... it's really going to wither. Because the hole there is a hole for putting out instead of putting it in. Do not get strangely stimulated! It's going to be good every time Ruu and I do it, but the problem is that I'm dying.... Therefore, I decided to try energy medicine or strengthening magic.
Ruu and Lime are handling each other during class. It is because Lime can't go against Ruu and the others to follow me during class time. Only Rin is still going out alone. Her desire to become a human isn't extraordinary.... I hope so. She isn't just trying to evolve. Lately, she doesn't talk to me at all. Even if I try to talk, she would go somewhere else. Rin is really cute, but it is quite spicy not to speak to her. Haa... am I hated? If it is Rin, then it is as if I′m separated from myself. I guess it's already warm, so I will invite her for a walk early in the morning.
"Lucas, are you going home this year too?" (Tsuchio)
"Yes, to my parents in the elf territory. What about you, Tsuchio?" (Lucas)
"Well... I am going to the Cyano islands." (Tsuchio)
I have been invited again by Kisato-san this year, but the period is a little short. We will go to Landis island and stay for a few days before we return. So, I can meet Spirit-san only for a short time. Come on, Spirit-san a little is also nice! I said I'm going to see her, though.... Even when I come back, I still have a summer vacation. What to do after we returned... I need to decide gradually.
"Cyano islands, are the fishes tasty there?" (Lucas)
"Yes, the seafood was delicious. Though the academy is also very close to the sea and we can often eat fish, but it is completely different there. There are many fish dishes over there." (Tsuchio)
"Hee, I want to go too." (Lucas)
"When you get married, why don't you take your husband there? Oh yeah, there are so many pirates over there and I can't say that security is good.... So, isn't it dangerous to bring Lucas there?" (Tsuchio)
"My husband! I will bring my wife! Alright, I will do it!" (Lucas)
"Tsuchio loves to tease Lucas" (Triss)
"I'm also concerned about Lucas, but if you say too much you will be disliked, right?" (Fall)
"... I see, Lucas dislikes me..." (Tsuchio)
"I don't hate you, but... I want you to stop treating me as a girl. Even so, I'm pretty curious" (Lucas)
"It′s my bad habit that I want to bully such a cute child." (Tsuchio)
"It's a distorted expression of affection..." (Triss)
"If you were to do it, it would be a terrible disaster..." (Fall)
"Tris can't do it..." (Tsuchio)
"You can't do it, Tris?" (Lucas)
I move behind Triss and caress her head. And when I say a few words to Tris, she seems to feel bad.
"Triss is tiny and cute" (Tsuchio)
"I'm a dwarf, so I can't help it!" (Triss)
"Haahaahaa, you can't reach me because you're short!" (Tsuchio)
Tris is trying to hit me, but I'm holding her head so her fists are hitting nothing. The case of stature is different.
"To precisely point out what people care about..." (Triss)
"Tris, it's okay! All dwarf women are like that!" (Tsuchio)
"That's right, you are not going to grow anymore." (Lucas)
"Mukii!!!" (Triss)
Tris is spinning thoroughly, while I still hold her head with my hand. Her body is shaking, but I have no problem because I hold her down properly. If I close my eyes, then she would still not be able to turn around.
"Well, calm down, Triss. There are women who are tall and worrying about it. And because you're a dwarf, you naturally have a short stature, which is cute by woman and ugly by men." (Lucas)
"That's right, I'm longing for a woman who is tall and good-looking..." (Tsuchio)
"Tsuchio, you shouldn't tell Tris about your preferences" (Lucas)
"Okay, I will only tell Lucas" (Tsuchio)
"Don't stop me, Lucas..." (Triss)
I won't say that Lucas is a woman anymore, because of what he said just now. However, I can't stop it!
"Long time no see!!!" (Spirit-san)
"Oooh, it's been awhile, Spirit-san." (Tsuchio)
This time, we weren't attacked by pirates and we arrived at Landis Island without seeing dung aristocrats either. It seems that we will stay only for 5 days this time, so I cannot relax much. As soon as I got to Landis Island, I took a ship to Danze Island and went into the forest on the same day. Therefore, we have no lodging. As soon as we return to Landis Island, we probably will stay at the Knights Order.
"Hey, why are you trying to dodge! It is the first time in 2 years!" (Spirit-san)
"You used the branch to talk to me once every few days.... Besides, anyone will dodge when suddenly hugged." (Tsuchio)
Because Ruu released a warning, less demons have attacked us. There are some beetles and others who attacked occasionally, but all were absorbed by Shadow-san. Well after all, the northern demons are much stronger.... However, they are stronger than the devil beasts near the kingdom but aren't opponents for my familiars. It was a bit harsh when they attacked as a group, but those with high intelligence escaped early. We also were attacked by rhinoceros, but we cut off their legs and penetrated their head, which is efficient.
"I missed your skin, but I can't even meet people when they come." (Spirit-san)
"Hee, what?" (Tsuchio)
"Well, spirits exist only in fairy tales. Once found, it is usually decided to catch them and check the body. Only those who deserve our trust are met." (Spirit-san)
"In front of me, you came out quite a lot." (Tsuchio)
"You are a trustworthy person who has monsters with dragons' divine protection. I have an eye for this." (Spirit-san)
"I see." (Tsuchio)
Were the blessings of Hellfire-san also in such a place? I can't thank him right now, but I have to say thank you when we meet again.
"More than that, do you have the souvenir from the kingdom! What is it?" (Spirit-san)
"Wa, wait a minute. I'm taking it out now." (Tsuchio)
I take out a book from Shadow-san. It has the feeling of a japanese landscape photography collection. There seems to be a magic of transferring sceneries to paper, but because it will be abused for spying, there are not many people who can use it. To stop the spyware, they send people out like Librarian-san. For that reason, it was a good price, but for Spirit-san who cannot go outside, there are only such books to see the landscape of the outside world. In addition....
"Tsu, Tsuchio! What is this, there is bright red water! A mountain is spouting fire and this one is pure white! Is there such a thing outside!?" (Spirit-san)
"That's right. It's hard to go to see it because everywhere around is wasteland." (Tsuchio)
Spirit-san turns her eyes to the photo collection. She was wondering if it was black and white, but it has a solid color. Well, it's better to have a color because it's spying magic. Spirit-san's smile, priceless!
"The ocean here is light blue, but there is also a green sea. I wonder if it's the same ocean..." (Spirit-san)
"It is the same southern sea." (Tsuchio)
"Well, I'm surrounded by forests. Is this also a sea?" (Spirit-san)
"No, this is a lake." (Tsuchio)
"Lake? How is it different from the sea?" (Spirit-san)
"The sea is salt water, but the lake is freshwater. If it's salty, you can't drink it." (Tsuchio)
"I see... the world is wide, to know that there is such a strange sight..." (Spirit-san)
Spirit-san keenly murmurs. She has been on this island for a long time and can't get out of this island. It seems that the values of spirits and humans are very different, so it seems wrong to sympathize.... When I look at Spirit-san's face watching the photo album, I think that it is painful after all.
"... Spirit-san, have you been on this island for a long time?" (Tsuchio)
"I'm not lonely. Spirits are like that. Born on the land, overseeing the land, bound to that land. And spirits that are away from the land are evil spirits." (Spirit-san)
"So, there are such kind of spirits." (Tsuchio)
"Well, they are rare. The balance of the land is mad and the power of it is sucked up by the spirit at a dash, so that the ego of the spirit which cannot endure the excessive power collapses. Just as a lot of water is overflowing from a small vessel and the sucked up magical power is released in the form of a disaster. That's the most efficient method of consuming magic." (Spirit-san)
"What does it mean when you say balance collapses?" (Tsuchio)
"Well, I wonder what to say... in this world, the magic is circulating as a big pulse.... Large scale natural destruction or excessive magic consumption... well, it's such things. The most serious damage is the fact that the magical power of the land withers. Crops don't grow, living things can′t live and extreme weather develops. It will become such a land." (Spirit-san)
The flow of magical power in this world will collapse like dragon veins. It seems like spirits are the wills of the lands and would be affected by influence.
"So, Tsuchio need not worry about me at all. I'm a very special kind of spirit. In the first place, it is strange that a spirit is interested in the outside world. The ordinary ones only care about their own land." (Spirit-san)
"Hee, were you able to meet other spirits?" (Tsuchio)
"I had an opportunity. I met a spirit of the sea around here. He taught me a lot of things." (Spirit-san)
"Hee, there is also one in the ocean around here..." (Tsuchio)
"There are vast amounts of them in the ocean." (Spirit-san)
Spirit-san is flipping through the photo album. I'm glad to hear that... I will learn the magic to take pictures from Librarian-san. Because this is only natural scenery, I want to show her the scenery of a town.
"Why are you smiling?" (Spirit-san)
"No, I am glad that you are happy. I wish I had bought several kinds of them..." (Tsuchio)
"... Tsuchio is gentle, you misunderstand me, don't you?" (Spirit-san)
Spirit-san is stroking me with a smile like a young lady. This person with such a face... isn't like a spirit.
"... Unfortunate spirit" (Tsuchio)
"Wh, what a name! Why are you pitying me!?" (Spirit-san)
"Your appearance right now... haa, is a waste. I wish it had been like that for a long time." (Tsuchio)
"If you say such a cheeky thing, I won't give you the gift I've prepared." (Spirit-san)
"Do you have something?" (Tsuchio)
"Hmm, I'm not telling you until rude Tsuchio says sorry." (Spirit-san)
Spirit-san turns her back to me and gazes at the photo album. Muu, don't worry... I'm sorry for the poor Spirit-san.
"Do you want me to explain the scenery?" (Tsuchio)
"Th, that's fine. It's fun just watching!" (Spirit-san)
"Name, location, environment. You don't want to know? Anyway, I won't know about other spirits." (Tsuchio)
"... Understood, I will tell you. Instead, Tsuchio will teach it properly." (Spirit-san)
"Of course, I intended to do that from the beginning." (Tsuchio)
"Good grief... I was trying to give you my blessing, to two those over there." (Spirit-san)
Spirit-san points to Shadow-san and Nichrome. I was thinking about what to do all the time, but it was too painful to find Hellfire-san and I couldn't help it. And now the problem of protection is solved by this.
"You won't give it to Ruu and the others?" (Tsuchio)
"They already have a dragon's protection, that's enough. Too much is worser than nothing" (Spirit-san)
"Is that so, then thank you." (Tsuchio)
"Alright, that's it!" (Spirit-san)
A deep green sphere penetrates the chest of Shadow-san and Nichrome. Are there any compatible things like Hellfire-san?
"If the chemistry is bad, they won't accept your protection. Isn't that a problem?" (Tsuchio)
"As you see, there are not any particular changes and there seems to be no particular problem." (Spirit-san)
"Okay, now I'm done with my business. Now, explain as promised!" (Spirit-san)
"What do you want to know?" (Tsuchio)
"This! What is this pure white!? It's definitely not abnormal weather!" (Spirit-san)
"It's not unusual, it's a well-respected weather. It is snow which is frozen water. You can only see it in the cold north." (Tsuchio)
"Snow... if the water froze, wouldn't it be ice?" (Spirit-san)
"Yes, snow is also a kind of ice. Very small ice gathers and becomes one snowflake." (Tsuchio)
"It's south, so I cannot see it. Even ice is something I haven't seen yet. Well then, what is this pretty band?" (Spirit-san)
"Ah, this is a rainbow. The color of the light is reflected in the sky..." (Tsuchio)
Spirit-san asks about the pictures one after another. I had been talking to her about the pictures until it was dark.
----------------------------------------------------
Tsuchio (Real name: Mikado Tsuchio) 19 years old
A young man who was a high school student from Japan who fell into this world. He met Kisato-san and entered the academy. There are no particular features in his appearance, black eyes and black hair which is general for Japanese. Height is a little higher than average (Japanese), around 170cm. He has no choice but to study magic in various ways to become stronger. Recently, the number of types of his talisman arts have increased. In the meantime, he fights by hitting and kicking repeatedly. He won't die. He intends to equally touch his familiars, but interactions with Lime and Ruu will definitely stand out by all means. After all, it is difficult to go well when the number is high....
Skills and Magic
Caress: He is good at stroking. In addition, it seems to be primarily active at night now.
Devil's hand: Manipulating the magical power of what he touches with his hands. Tsuchio is pretty accustomed and can now feel magical power in the air a little. By concentrating on a part, he can also make his opponent suffer or let him explode from the inside.... Well, is it the influence of a devil?
Support magic: He has a talent for support magic, mainly for support purposes. In Tsuchio′s case, it isn't so high, but he covers it with his imagination. Recently, it has replaced by the talisman art, so it isn't much used right now.
Talisman art: This skill allows you to use talismans which are good and easy to use magic tools. Tsuchio can now freely throw out talismans from his hand. The talismans that he can use at the moment are: Throwing talisman, barrier talisman, explosion talisman, earth pillars, fire bees (Normal · Light · Heavy), hornets, rock snakes, lacertid(Nichrome's Leg), Tsuiraku talisman and rock wall. It might increase in the future.
