Chapter 3 (2/2)

Then, as my body is becoming st.u.r.dy, I was able to acquire skills.

「Guuwaa~!」

Gorogorogorogorogoro!!

I’m flicked off by Master Dolfares’ halberd and roll on the ground.

「Ku……」

I somehow raise my shaking body. At this time, in the place where only Master and I are, I felt a presence that is obviously not monster nor person.

Master Dolfares seemed to understand it too, he was not panicking.

「…… Fumu, how rare for her to appear before people」

When I turn towards the direction Master Dolfares is looking, I saw a beautiful girl approaching us from the lake.

Although tremendously beautiful, she definitely wasn’t a human.

「…… Spirit?」

「The Spirit Queen ruling this land」

Saying such, Master Dolfares kneels down and bows his head.

『How rare. Rational undead and visitor from afar. Seeing a master and student relations.h.i.+p between a monster and man is first even for me who lives for eternity』

「Spirit Queen-sama, forgive me for polluting this land with my undead body. If possible, please overlook me for four more years」

Master Dolfares bows his head, so I do the same.

『I just came to see because it seemed fascinating. Four years is an instant for me. I permit you to stay in this land. The visitor from afar boy was invited here by G.o.d, someone like me can’t do anything about that』

「Invited by G.o.d?」

『That’s right, you are an existence invited to this world by G.o.d』

Spirit Queen-sama answers my unconscious mutter.

「For what reason was I brought to this world? Is there something I must do?」

I asked the question I wanted to know since I came to this world.

『Someone like me can’t clearly grasp the G.o.d’s will. However, I think you weren’t brought here in order to do something. Because you should have reached your purpose the moment you were invited here, you may live freely in this world』

I see, listening to Spirit Queen-sama’s words, I felt relieved.

『I had an enjoyable time after a long while. This is my present to you』

When Spirit Queen-sama said so, a light entered my body.

「Thank you for granting divine protection to my disciple」

Dolfares-san speaks words of grat.i.tude again.

Before I noticed, Spirit Queen-sama vanished.

After that, when I asked Master Dolfares about Spirit Queen-sama’s divine protection, he told me it increases the power of Attribute Magic, and above all else, it seems to be able to invalidate almost all abnormal states (Poison・Paralysis・Curse・Charm・Petrification・Disease).

「It’s a wonderful divine protection, isn’t it?」

「Yeah, until this point of time, there shouldn’t be anyone who possesses Spirit Queen-sama’s divine protection. However, to think Kaito was a visitor from afar. I finally understand why a child like Kaito was in a place like this」

「I’m sorry. It feels like I was hiding it from you」

「What, a trifling thing. As Spirit Queen-sama said, it’s fine for Kaito to live freely in this world. Well, the forest beyond this mountain is called the Forest of Abyss, it’s a forest where powerful monsters run rampant, it’s a place where people can’t set feet」

It seems I was brought to even more terrible place than I thought.

「I have to acquire enough ability to pa.s.s through that forest, huh」

「What, Kaito will be fine」

With Master Dolfares’s guarantee, the intense training continued again.
