Vol 2 Chapter 1 (1/2)

Two weeks have already pa.s.sed since the incident with Takahas.h.i.+. In these two weeks, there was an increase in events happening around the world. For example, in a certain country, its spirit control system malfunctioned, which causes spirits energy to leak out, and attracted many wild spirits. Wild spirits can cause huge damage to countries. Furthermore, during that incident, quite a handful of people died as well.

The news report stated: This incident has once again given humanity a wake up call. Everyone, please do not be accustomed to the spirits we see everyday. In fact, all these spirits were once very aggressive; the only difference is that they have been domesticated. So everyone, try to make less contact with wild spirits when you’re outside. If you come across a wild spirit while you’re on a holiday, please escape immediately. If you need a spirit, please go to your local spirit shop to purchase your own spirit.

Spirits, are separated into five different levels: lowest cla.s.s, low cla.s.s, middle cla.s.s, high cla.s.s, and special cla.s.s. Humans do not know that king cla.s.s spirits actually exist —- and one of such spirit was currently sitting beside me and watching the news, Silent Water. Silent Water was a well-behaved spirit. She’ll always help me keep the house clean, cook meals for me. Even though she also grew up in the demon world, it’s really hard for me to picture Silent Water as one of those cold-blooded wild spirits. It should be due to her being a king cla.s.s spirit?

I petted Dusty who was resting on my lap. Dusty should be considered a wild spirit as well? But why wasn’t it aggressive? Was it because it belonged to the lowest cla.s.s of earth element spirits? That can’t be right, there’s something fishy with this news. I think what happened was that the residents saw many rare and strong spirits, so they wanted to capture them, and the spirits retaliated, which was why the humans had been killed? After all, the majority of spirits don’t enjoy fighting. As long as you do not bother them, they would not harm you. Aren’t humans too opinionated? Aren’t spirits living beings as well? Were they destined to be your slaves? Go to h.e.l.l. Spirits are our friends, they help us in fighting against demons. They’re not just our slaves.

I cursed silently in my heart. However, I had a feeling that out of 10 people, at most 3 would agree with me. Many people would have the a.s.sumption that spirits were born for the purpose of being humanity’s slave, and take the humans’ place in doing dangerous things. For example, the earth and water element spirits were the most commonly seen, and as such, were labelled as construction workers. They could easily be bought for around 10 dollars in spirit shops. As for rarer gold spirits, you wouldn’t be able to buy them without paying a several hundreds of thousands.

I took a good look at Silent Water but couldn’t help think to myself, how much money would Silent Water be worth?

No no no, I immediately broke my train of thought. Silent Water is priceless. n.o.body can buy her, unless it’s the one she had chosen to be her master,or else no matter who it was, I wouldn’t let them touch her. Not even a strand of hair. Until she finds a master who she deemed to be worthy, she would stay as my family member.

While thinking of this, I couldn’t help but reach out to touch Silent Water’s supple dark blue hair. As I rubbed her head, Silent Water turned around to take a look at me, and smiled. Silent Water had a beautiful smile with pearly white teeth and vividly enchanting eyes. This made me want to protect her and her beautiful smile.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It was Satsuki calling: “h.e.l.lo, Satsuki-chan, do you need something?”

“I can’t call you unless I need something?” From the phone came Satsuki’s displeased voice.

“Of course not, calling me is good, so please give me lots of calls even if you don’t need anything.”

“Humph~ smart. What are you doing?”

“Me? Watching television, why?”

“Watching television? The only thing you’ve been doing these two days during the weekend was watching television?”

“Not really, I also went online.”

“ …Don’t tell me that you stayed inside these two days for such silly things?”

“What do I need to go out for?”

“You… You could’ve come and find me…”

“Uh….” I was lost for words for a moment. Ever since the incident with Takahas.h.i.+, I clearly felt that I’m closer to Satsuki, but I still couldn’t understand Satsuki’s weird behaviour at times.

From the beginning when she didn’t want me to drink her drinks, it changed into s.n.a.t.c.hing my drink away to drink, while saying something like the drink I gave her wasn’t nice so she wanted to drink mine. When returning home, she always insisted that I must stay at her house for awhile before I could leave. After eating, she purposely made her mouth oily and pa.s.ses me a tissue, insisting that I help clean her mouth…..

Doesn’t she know that the majority of the guys in cla.s.s want to get rid of me? If it was in the past, they would still hesitate because of Takahas.h.i.+, but now Takahas.h.i.+ had left. Speaking of which, was Takahas.h.i.+ doing well? Excluding me and Satsuki who knew what happened, many of the girls in cla.s.s were really saddened by the news of Takahas.h.i.+ leaving.

“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? Will you lose face if you asked me out? I want to buy clothes today, so I need someone to help me carry the stuff and at the same time, give me his opinion on the clothes.”

“Oh. What time are we going out then?” I looked at the clocked, it was 1:54

“2:30, wait in front of Phoebe Park, understand?”

“Oh, I understand. In that case….” *Beep,beep,beep,beep* From the phone came a busy tone. She had hung up.

What a really strange girl. I sighed and told Silent Water: “Little Silent, I’m going out for awhile soon, is there anything you want me to buy for you?” Truthfully speaking, I really want to bring Silent Water out for shopping, but she was a king cla.s.s human spirit. If I bring her out, it would definitely cause a big uproar.

“Thank you Master, but I don’t need anything.”

“Little Silent, I’m sorry, I really want to bring you outside, but…” Even though Silent Water’s expression was calm, I could still feel some loneliness in her. After all, she can only move around in my house….

“It’s fine, master, Silent Water understands her own circ.u.mstance. Master giving me shelter is more then enough, I really have no other request.”

“Ah~~ Little Silent, you really are obedient.” I rubbed Silent Water’s head and went upstairs to change clothes.

I chose a set of casual clothes and started putting them on. Suddenly….

‘Actually, there’s a way for that water spirit to hide her spirit aura.’ White Dragon Freed’s voice suddenly sounded in my head.

“s.h.i.+t! You scared me. What? Just now you said there’s a way for Silent Water to hide her spirit aura? Really? What’s the method?” If there’s really a way to hide Silent Water’s spirit aura, of course I’ll be excited.

‘Look at yourself, being so excited, you only need to find the Nora Gra.s.s. This type of gra.s.s can prevent spirits from emitting their spirit aura. All Silent Water need to do is to put the Nora Gra.s.s on her body, and others won’t be able to detect her spirit aura. With this, humans will think that she’s just an ordinary human who’s a bit pretty.’

‘I bet this kind of gra.s.s is hard to find.’ In general, this sort of gra.s.s in games would be hidden, and was very difficult to obtain.

‘It’s not, this sort of gra.s.s can be found everywhere in the demon world.’

‘Nani? Is that true? This sort of gra.s.s is obviously very powerful. It can even hide spirit’s aura.’

‘……’ Freed was silent for awhile, before saying: ‘Not all humans are like you, okay? Who would hide their own spirit’s spiritual aura? Rather, they would want their spirit’s spiritual aura to be very strong.’

‘Oh, you’re right. Then how do I go to the Demon world?’

‘Just leave this matter to me. Don’t forget that I’m the guardian of the underworld….’ Suddenly, Black Dragon Yalide’s voice came. Next, Freed said a sentence that made Yalide embarra.s.sed: ‘Oh, you have the nerve to talk about it?’

‘Don’t talk about what happened in the past, d.a.m.nit Freed. Well well~~ Brat, ignore Freed, you only need to remember, that I’m a qualified guardian. In that case, when do you want to go?’

‘Right now.’ Honestly, I almost forgot this Yalide b.a.s.t.a.r.d was the underworld’s (Demon world) guardian.

‘Brat, did you forget something?’ Freed reminded.

‘Something? Nope, are you asking me to prepare my equipments?’
