Chapter 5.05 (2/2)

“Then… what should we do?”

“It’d be good if she came to Yugrasia. It’d be a waste to let her talent go.”

“But…”

“You’re trying to send her to Marcis, yes?”

“You knew?”

Of course I knew. I almost died after stealing their heirloom.

“There’s no way I wouldn’t know of the white lily.”

“Ah, then you would know already. We’re…”

“No, that’s why you should take her to Yugrasia. I promise you this. Yugrasia will be the best school for summoners in the upcoming years. She should be able to graduate in three years with her skill. Learning magic later might be better for her.”

“Well…”

The man is trying to refuse, but it’s useless. His shaking eyes, and trembling hands show that he’s pretty close to being convinced already. Now, let’s go for my final attack.

“I believe this child is qualified enough to inherit all of my knowledge. I myself am not talented enough to get a strong beast, but… if it’s this girl, I think she can handle it.”

I put a strong emphasis on ‘inherit’. And at the same time.

[Now!]

-Yahoo! Seriously! Freedom! …You’re not putting me back, are you?

The metal bat that was disguised as a bracelet began to s.h.i.+ne, then melt down to form a different shape. After a moment, the bat turned into a little girl with long, s.h.i.+ning silver hair that almost went down to her feet! And!

“Uun~ please listen to master?”

Kawaii overload! There’s not many who’d refuse a request from little girls. And elementals are the purest of the pure! They’re very hard to refuse! Of course, this particular girl isn’t an elemental, but an evil fox, but others will think of her as an elemental. Not only that!

“Ohh… an elemental came out on her own?”

“As expected of Nicerwin…”

Rarely would a summoned beast come out without being summoned by the summoner himself. After all, doing that gives the beast many, many penalties.

But there are certain beasts that choose to come out on their own volition, and beasts doing that show that it shares a very strong bond with the summoner.

Of course, this thing is neither an elemental nor a summoned beast.

“Well?”

He’s almost there. I just need his permission now!

“Mm… we’ll think about it.”

I thought he was almost there, but the girl intervened with a grin, and took away her uncle with a “Let’s go home, uncle.”

And then she went into Marcis… I’ll make you regret your actions.
