46 44 Aftermath (1/2)

(Master...!

'Oh, quite a bit of magic. Threat D could be going! Watch out!

”Mmm!”

But it's magic you've never felt before. Not like warcraft or people. Strange magic.

The mysterious signs were coming this way at a tremendous rate. Could it be you're after Fran? No, Viscount Fool is a nobleman for once, and is there any chance he'll be targeted?

Anyway, I can't lose my mind.

”Hey, what? Pull out your sword again! Or do it!

Augusto is so loud. Come to think of it, it would be annoying if they interrupted me in the middle of a fight. Let's have a little silence here.

LV3 Dark Magic ”Mind Lost”. It's a magic trick to take consciousness away and stun it. Well, this guy won't be resisted.

”Ah...?

Dosa

Leaving the fallen Viscount alone, waiting 10 seconds or so.

It was the translucent weird guy who showed up. Somehow, it's like a sphere of water that keeps changing shape with the Uneu, floating in the universe.

”Mr. Fran, you didn't kill him, did you?

He's talking to me all of a sudden. No, I don't have a mouth or a face, so there's no certainty. Maybe this guy in front of you spoke up. Besides, the voice sounds familiar.

”Guildmaster?

”That's right. Oh, were you the first to see it? This is a kind of spirit I serve. Rest assured.”

”Spirit...... never seen it before”

I've never seen it before, too, but it's not what I imagined. I would have imagined you looked more like a person. Like Silf and Undine.

That seems to have been the same for Fran.

”Something, weird”

”What is weird! What's weird! Sure, the kid is an intermediate spirit, so he's not human. But this kid is so cute too!

”But cooler ones are better”

”The spirits of the human form are the superior spirits. You won't summon such advanced spirits, not even in battle.”

Are the spirits of the human form the superior spirits? And Gilmouth can summon it. Even intermediates have this much magic. How strong is the advanced?

If we could summon multiple spirits at the same time, it would be tremendous power. Even Gilmouth himself is very strong, but with the addition of the Spirit, he can't help it, can he? That means you have enough strength to be an Alliance Master?

”For what?

”Oops, I was. After you, I have information that Viscount Auguste has left town.”

You're ears are fast, even though we were just talking about it.

”The gatekeeper, Mr. Delt, let me know. Viscount Augusto went after you, but I was wondering if you'd be all right.”

Mr. Delt, I'm sorry I thought you might be Lorisky. He was simply a good man.

”Mm-hmm. Coming.”

”Again! A request has come to the Alliance to secrecy secure Viscount Auguste's figure. You didn't kill him, did you? Right? Yeah, could I have killed him? That's troubling!

”I didn't kill him.”

”Ho, is that true? Good! I'd like you to hand over that figure. Whatever. I'm not just saying.”

”Fine.”

”Is that true? Thank you! So I'll be on my way to the spot right away, so can I ask you to secure your stature?

”Mmm.”

”Okay, excuse me!

At the same time as Gilmouth's words, the figure of the Spirit scratched out. Apparently, it was a messenger replacement.
