Tide Contractor (2)

“Wait, just do that again… … !”

Feria stepped up.

The big shock and lingering feeling that I felt a while ago had not disappeared.

Loen, who had fallen, was puzzled by her sudden behavior.

“What are you suddenly doing… … ?”

Damn it!

She hurriedly grabbed Loen's hand.

Then he chewed up his magical power flowing into his body.

“Wow… … ”

Feria's expression melts smoothly.

I didn't feel wrong.

It was a magical power that possessed the ridiculous best affinity.

I fell into the feeling of being in paradise, and beyond the ecstasy, even embarrassment came.

'Uh, how do humans achieve this affinity... … .'

There was affinity for all mana in the world.

The higher the affinity inherent in mana, the greater the magic potential for each attribute, and the deeper the sensitivity of the spirits.

It was the identity of the'taste' that common spirits feel in magic.

For the spirits who do not have the concept of eating, Mana with great affinity was like tasting the best food.

There were more spirits who liked the taste of magic and signed contracts than spirits who signed contracts because it was frustrating to stay in one space.

'In the meantime, I didn't understand the guys who were contracting for good horsepower. But this... … .'

She wasn't sensitive to taste, and wasn't really enjoying the taste of magic.

One of the things that I just encountered broke the values itself.

Absurd depth and umami.

It was a magical power that I had never felt before.

It must have been the best horsepower that not only himself, but any other spirits had not tasted.

'What are you doing?'

Loen looked up at her as if she was absurd at Feria's panicking appearance.

She was currently feeling a deep inner conflict.

I had to tear this ugly man to pieces at once, but I wanted to continue to taste the magical power he possessed.

“Woah, good. I will only save my life.”

Feria, with her hand on her forehead, made a difficult decision.

It was too wasteful to have the magic power to kill it like this.

Of course, that didn't mean that he would contract with such an incompetent human.

“It really saves me... … ?”

"okay. Instead, you'll have to be kept here for life, but you'll have to.”

“What, what is it?”

All he needed was his horsepower anyway.

I couldn't figure out why only humans had such a great affinity, but it was enough to draw mana until death while holding onto it.

“Then did you even expect to let it go? I think I'm grateful for just taking the magic of a guy like you.”

“To get magical power… Gagging!”

Ahhh!

Streams of water appeared and held the fallen Loen firmly.

His body was fixed so that he could not escape.

Then Feria reached out to taste the magical power again.

'You're not going to sign a contract and only get magical power?'

Only then, Loen, who recognized Feria's intentions, frowned.

Of course, he had no intention of being quietly raised by someone.

'I mean, that feeling a little while ago was the exchange of magical power.'

Loen just recalled her senses and closed her eyes.

Then something unexpected happened.

"What… what?"

Feria panicked.

It was the girl who put her hand on Loen's chest, but she didn't feel any magic.

The magical power that I felt a little while ago had completely disappeared.

The result was the same even when I touched the arm, head, or other part.

There was no sudden disappearance of magical power.

If so, this was the human being in front of him blocking his magic.

“Short the horsepower? Seo, no way I can handle magic... … .”

Feria, who was shocked, stepped back.

Blocking one's own magical power required a very high skill level to deal with the body's magical power.

It was even more difficult for humans who had to acquire magical power.

However, I couldn't imagine that a normal human being, not a famous wizard or a spiritist, would be so proficient in the use of magic.

“This child! If you don't want to die, give me some magic!”

“Huh, just kill me... … !”

Feria threatened with a strong grip on Loen's neck.

On the outside, it was a weak-looking forearm, but she, an intermediate spirit, was able to easily break his neck bone with only force.

However, even in a choking situation, Loen persisted.

I don't know why, but the spirit wanted his magic.

However, if you kill yourself like this, you will not be able to get permanent magic power.

'How to do this... … .'

Feria's body hardened in response to the unexpected reaction.

How dare humans behave like this in front of themselves.

It was so disgusting that I had to kill it right now.

However, the taste of the magical power that I had just tasted was hardly forgotten in my mind.

As if just tasting mana a few times, another sensation emerged, in my head, I was constantly craving for new stimulation.

When I thought that the magical power I had just tasted was the end, it became a distant sight.

'Uh! do not know!'

Eventually, Feria, who couldn't overcome her impatience, healed Loen's leg.

Dig!

"This… … ?”

As she stretched out her arm, the injuries healed with a blue glow.

The pain disappeared and the broken bone was completely attached.

I had heard of the divine power of priests, but it was the first time I ever received such treatment.

The power to heal wounds at once.

It was a very mysterious feeling.

“Woah, good. I gave first. I've fixed your leg too, and I'll take care of it here. I mean, I'm going to make a formal contract with you.”

"contract… … ?”

“Yes, know with great honor. I've never even imagined signing a contract with a guy like you.”

If there is a contract between the spirit and the spirit company, Loen has also heard of it.

I had a chance to get old books and read them, and among them, there was a book on contracts with spirits.

If the contents of the book were correct, it was certain that the agreement between both sides would establish a contractual relationship that would allow each other to borrow magical power and the power of spirits.

If I could only make a contract with her, Loen would be able to gain the power of the spirits.

Contracts with intermediate spirits were the first class that most spirits hoped for, and there were only a few among the rare spirits that could achieve that wish.

Feria's words to think as an honor weren't strange either.

But surprisingly, Loen's answer was different.

"why me?"

"What… … ?”

“Why should I sign a contract with a guy like you?”

Loen laughed at her with a ferocious laughter.

Feria's face, belatedly realizing that she had been struck by the same words she had said, turned red as if it would burst immediately.

"this… This child... … !”

Qawah!

A stream of water sprang up and hit Loen.

He has tightened him as if he would break his neck right now.

But he didn't blink an eye.

'If you get pushed here, it's over … !'

Forever, I couldn't be dragged away with her life on her whims.

Somehow I had to push it down here, so I could live.

'Well, I have all these doglike children!'

In this embarrassing situation that he had not imagined in the past years, Feria was so absurd.

He was shuddered by anger, but he would really die if he went on.

Feria, biting her lips, built a water prison in the middle of the lake and thrown him away and confined him.

“I can’t go anywhere until I kneel and pray!”

Kuung!

The grate that locked Loen went down.

* * *

1 hour, 2 hours.

Time gradually passed after being trapped in a water prison on a lake.

Loen's pale body trembled in the cold.

Even before he was healed, a lot of blood was poured out, and the floor and grate of ice-cold water took him away.

But even in such a situation, Loen's eyes were as clear.

It was Feria's side that became rather nervous as time passed.

'why… … .'

Feria frowned with an uncontrollable desire.

The taste of magical power you can feel for the first time in your life.

Had it been suggested by something stronger and noble than herself, she would be willing to bend her position a little.

But the owner of that magic power is that kind of guy.

I couldn't just bend my pride toward humans.

However, at the same time, thinking that he would never taste the taste again for the hundreds of years left to him, he felt like he would die.

'I want to taste the magic again as soon as possible.'

Time went by.

Loen's movement, which seemed to be difficult, gradually faded like a burning candle.

The fierce thirst for magic and fear eventually made the noble spirit kneel.

Aw!

The water prison that contained him lost shape and fell.

A stream of water wrapped around Loen, who was trying to fall down the lake without strength, and laid it lightly on the floor.

dump!

“I'm sorry, I did it wrong. So please... … .”

Water's intermediate spirit, Feria, knelt on the floor.

Then Loen looked at her in amazement.

Even so, I never thought it would come out like this.

However, he did not try to express himself and spoke calmly.

“What can you do for me?”

“I'll do whatever it takes! I will do anything!”

Feria took hold of the pants altogether and began to hang on.

Anything is just difficult to take the first step.

The reason, once collapsed, did not come back easily.

"Really? Can you swear?”

"okay! I swear on my all!”

For the proud spirits, the oath made by name has guaranteed considerable reliability.

But you'll bet everything beyond that.

Originally, it was never possible for a spirit to spit out without thinking back and forth in this way.

But now, Feria's feelings were concentrated in such a desperate situation.

“How can I trust the guy who just tried to kill me?”

“I won’t do that again… Huh?"

Feria's earnest glance looked up at him.

Then Loen nodded, pretending to worry for a while.

“That’s good. I do not contract, what.”

“I, really?”

“Would you like to keep changing your mind?”

“Sorry, sorry! Then I'll do it right now!”

Feria, who couldn't even think of her face, smiled and prepared a contract.

Each other's magic flowing into the air intertwined like a thread.

Now, when you finish, the contract is made.

"awhile."

"What is it… … ?”

Loen paused the contract.

Perhaps he has changed his mind, and Feria looked at Loen with an anxious look.

'There was something that was quite impressive about the contract.'

If what he had picked up was correct, what would happen after this process of entangled magical powers was simple.

It was the finishing work, leaving the proof of the contract.

'Leaving a mark on the contract partner's body... … . And it was said that the target was always on the side of the spirits.'

At the end of all the contracts made so far, the spirit's magic was overlaid on the spirit's body.

That way, the sign of the contract was stamped on one of the spirits' bodies, and the sign was completed.

Of course, there wasn't a noticeable difference in which side the mark was left.

However, this was in a symbolic sense, which meant that either party was taking the lead in the contract.

It was a very important issue for arrogant and proud spirits, and there was never a single concession to any opponent.

But if the opposite situation is possible.

“Oh… … !”

Tsutsutsutsu!

Loen stretched out her arms and touched Feria, and let her magic flow through her body.

Usually, she felt strange at once, but she couldn't wake up with the desperate taste of magic.

After that short time has passed.

Loen's magic was shrouded over Feria's magic.

“Hua, I love it… Uh, wait... … ?”

When the connected magical power was cut off, her gaze, waking up belatedly, descended.

The sign of the contract stamped on the collarbone of the left shoulder.

The mark was clearly visible in her eyes.

"Ah… … ?”

Feria's face burned red.

The mark left by humans remains on one's body.

A feeling of humiliation that could not be described in words came belatedly.

For the first time in the history of the continent, it was the moment when the relationship between the spirits and the spirits reversed.
