Tide Contractor

“I suddenly said something… It's been a long time since humans have been here. Could it have been stupidly rolled over?”
The blue-haired woman looked down at Loen and said.
It was a strangely provocative tone, unlike her clean appearance.
However, Loen, who faced her, could not afford to care about that.
“It’s a spirit… … ?”
Loen stared at her with a stupid look.
He also heard a lot of stories about the spirits because he encountered numerous adventure stories.
Originally, the spirits were difficult to face even after deciding and finding them.
Even that, the spirits in the form of humans must be spirits of at least some degree.
"what? I noticed it right away. Are you a spiritsa?”
The woman came up with curiosity.
The ordinary people who were not very well-versed in spirit art could never distinguish them only by their appearance.
But for some reason, Loen saw her and immediately knew she wasn't human.
I felt the unique energy surrounding her.
As well as the underground lake that lies wide behind her, I realized that I was a spirit of water as I saw the energy of the water dimly felt.
'You said that the lowest level spirits are in the form of elements. If so, it means that it is at least a lower level spirit... … .'
Loen also had come in countless times with the power of powerful spirits.
Certainly, the energy of the magical power she was exuding was not very bad.
'But how am I feeling like this.'
Loen felt suspicious of herself.
For the first time in my life, I felt the energy of the spirit I saw and identified it, so my head went back to the temple in this strange sense.
“Well, I don’t think that’s it. Mana is innate, but it is meaningless. If you're such a poor guy, you can't even handle the lowest level spirits.”
Meanwhile, a woman who looked around Loen said.
Unlike his fine appearance, his speech habit was nasty.
Actually, it's not really wrong, but I wondered if there was a need to say that.
But Loen, desperate for her help, quietly asked for help.
"That… Can you help me? I couldn’t move, so.”
“Ah, you must have been hurt.”
She moved her gaze and clapped her hands.
Then I looked up close at Loen's bleeding bridge.
“Can you fix it?”
“Of course you can fix it. It's nothing for me, an intermediate spirit of water. It's about a broken bone. All you have to do is close your finger.”
“Main, intermediate? Then come on... … !”
Said Loen, who was rebellious.
In fact, if it were an intermediate spirit, it was a being with powerful power that was called the highest level of a talented spirit company.
In addition to being a water spirit with healing powers, there was hope for survival if the existence of such a powerful position could survive.
However, on the contrary, the woman's head tilted.
"why me?"
"What… … ?”
“Why should I treat you?”
There was a cold cynicism around her mouth.
Only then did Loen realize that something was wrong.
* * *
“I know for sure that you don't know much about the spirits.”
A woman who introduced herself as Feria said.
“What can we do to help humans? Do you let go of the flying bugs that have crawled home? Even healing a broken leg?”
All the spirits in the world were basically arrogant and cruel.
Having lived at least hundreds to as many as thousands of years, I saw the life of a human being hit by a foot as much as a flies.
There was no need to feel sympathy for the human beings who lived for decades only.
“Of course, there must be such a thing, whether it is a spirit or a human. But that's a different kind. As if he came out of nowhere and made a fuss and left anything... Cure me? What is the treatment.”
There was an explicit ridicule around her mouth.
'Dangerous… … .'
Loen, soaked in water, had been left for more than two hours.
Feria did not let go of the toys that had reached her territory in a short time.
As if a child trampled on an ant out of curiosity, he was purely enjoying his dying appearance.
“I will do whatever I want... … .”
“No, I don't want anything. What can you do for this body?”
"you… The spirit needs a contractor to go outside.”
Even with a firm answer, Loen said without giving up.
Basically, the spirits cannot leave their territory.
That's why the spirits dared to sign contracts with contractors and lend their powers.
In order to freely wander outside the realm and exercise physical power, a contractor who would supply the minimum basic horsepower was essential.
“Is there anything you picked up? But again, it's half a piece. Not all spirits don't want to leave the realm, and they don't even have to be contractors like you.”
Feria's answer remained.
No different from humans, even as spirits, each individual had a different tendency.
Moreover, depending on the contractor's capabilities, the amount of force that can be drawn out of the realm varies.
Even if you absolutely want to go outside, there is no reason to sign a contract with anyone.
Kwaak!
Feria grabbed Loen's chin and lifted it up.
“Don't be mistaken. It is my position to choose one among the wide and widespread contract applicants.”
“Huh… … .”
The spirits pride themselves on being a member of the elements that make up the world, and they are also beings that are recognized and respected by everyone.
In line with such hospitality, the spirits were incredibly arrogant and strict.
It was the spirits who had to meet their standards and sign a contract.
That is why it is extremely difficult to cultivate power compared to the numerous demands for spirits.
Even though it is called the superior compatibility of the wizard and has strong power, there are very few people with talent for spirits, and there is no way to sign a contract with the spirits because it was picking the stars of the sky.
“It wasn't enough even to kneel and pray with talented spirits. Anyway, the guy who can't figure out the subject is the most confident.”
Said Feria, sitting obliquely in the air.
Even among the spirits, intermediate spirits have tremendous power.
Signing a contract with them was one of the dreams of almost all spirits.
However, she, who is an intermediate spirit, was not a first-class spiritist, but as a contractor, there was no noticeable.
'No way the spirit will show this attitude... I thought you were lucky, but it was the worst.'
The situation was completely upset.
The only spirits he heard in old stories were those who helped lost adventurers or lend power to heroes.
However, the attitude I see now was virtually the same as the devil.
“Huh, it's fun to have fun? After an elapsed time, an interesting entertainment street rolled over. A filthy human goes into the realm and feels uncomfortable.”
Aw!
As Feria shook her finger in the air, a stream of water fell over Loen's head.
Cold water dripping on my head soaked in.
She mocked and watched Loen dying, but in the first place she could not feel the guilt itself.
Then Loen opened her mouth, who had lost her teeth.
“It’s noisy.”
"What… … ?”
Feria's expression was stiff.
He couldn't understand at the moment what he dared to say to himself on human subjects.
“Is that great spirit stuck in a space like this, flirting at the death of a single human? I really don't have much to do. Far from being a member of the element... … .”
"Shut up!"
Qaw ahhh!
The release of huge magical power sweeping around.
Massive water streams whirled and surged, and the water of the refluxed lake fell violently.
Feria's feet were frozen in the cold, and fresh ice popped up.
The power of the intermediate spirits I heard only in words was enormous.
Even he, who was prepared for death, was overwhelmed at the moment and could not speak.
“The toy just needs to be closed. Keep struggling quietly until the end of your life.”
As she approached Loen, she said harshly.
Once the spirit's pride was touched, the possibility of living safely was no different from that.
However, he couldn't still die as he wanted.
'When I die, even if I die, I should feed it once and go... … !'
Percussion!
Loen stretched out his arm and grabbed Feria.
Then I secretly pulled a dagger that I had hidden in my waist.
“Ha?”
Feria's eyebrows rattled by the flying blade.
The unexpected number was correct, but it was a really stupid decision.
The best thing to do is to swing a sword.
He wasn't physically capable of tremendous power, nor could he handle strong magical power, but he had swung tens of thousands of times with an ordinary sword.
She, an intermediate spirit within her realm, couldn't even throw an afterburn.
Kwaak!
One dagger was pinned to Feria's chest, and a wound broke out and blood spatter.
"this… What is this... … ?”
Feria's expression distorted in embarrassment.
A smile appeared on Loen's lips as she seemed to be shocked.
He himself was not conscious of it, but his magic was weakly loaded on a dagger he swung with all his might.
Qawah!
When Feria, embarrassed, swung her arm, a tremendous wave broke out.
Loen bounced away from him, hit the wall and rolled the floor.
I tried to touch my arm, but my body couldn't listen.
When I looked up and looked at Feria, there was a very small wound, and even that healed quickly and healed.
After all, with his weak power, he was only able to inflict a shallow wound against an intermediate spirit.
But he was satisfied with this.
'I'm satisfied with this much.'
Loen closed her eyes to accept death.
Soon, Feria's furious sharp ice spear would fly and pierce her throat.
However, then something unexpected happened.
“Wow… … !”
Feria's leg, who was in good shape, loosened and sank.
Her arms on the floor were trembling.
The scar on the chest that was very shallow has long since disappeared.
However, the trembling still did not stop, and the strength of the leg was completely released and I could not stand up.
'Don't make it. Mana... … .'
Feria's frightened face was reminded in red.
A while ago, it wasn't because I felt hurt or pain.
Loen's mana entered with a dagger.
It was because of the supreme affinity contained in that magical power.
'you… So delicious... … .'
