36 Episode 36 "A Small Request from Nagi to Cecil".txt (2/2)

It's a love story between a sea dragon's daughter and a human boy. Of all the legends, this is the closest to the truth.

I don't remember a single word of its content.

Still, I'm free only when I'm reading the story.

Two souls pledged to each other. The boy's strength is healed and he acquires new skills.

The boy's strength is healed and he gains new skills, and he faces a new challenge from the sea dragon.

The only thing that allows him to connect his soul is to defeat the sea dragon's natural enemy.

He must defeat the sea dragon's natural enemy, a giant monstrous fish that walks across many lakes.

The name of the monstrous fish, which is covered with pearl-colored scales and has many tentacles, is...

Could a brave man who has survived his ordeal come to ...... Iris to kidnap her, too?

The house we rented was located across the river from Iris' house.

It's a brick building with a chimney on the roof, and a well in the garden. There's a well in the garden. There was room for all of us and a tub with feet. As you would expect, there was no hot spring on tap.

When we returned, Cecil and his friends had just finished eating the stew that Aine had made.

I explained the situation to the three of them and then went about my own business.

Rita was on alert for the surroundings. Aine is cleaning up and Leticia is helping Aine.

Cecil's job, for now, is to sleep.

I'm in my room, checking out what I received from Iris.

Four skill crystals that were given away at cost. The healers are supposed to come tomorrow at noon.

I also have a book written about ”Spirit Link” and ”Engage”.

Spirit Link and Engage

A vow ceremony that binds the souls together to ensure that the bond between them continues after they are reincarnated.

Each race has its own way of doing this, and it is formed when two people who are ”deeply connected as one living being” make a vow of eternity. It is also possible for two or more souls to be connected in the same way.

All the rituals are meant to unite the magic and breath of two people.

When the 'soul agreement' is established, the souls will resonate and a great recovery effect will occur, awakening them to a new skill.'

The system of 'Engage' is simple.

However, it is said to be terribly difficult to synchronize with each other.

All of the rituals are designed to synchronize the breathing and magical power of two people who are 'Engaging Souls'. The rituals are numerous and complex, and there are few concrete records left of them.

''Even in the ...... original world, it's said that there was originally a complicated procedure for marriage. With that upper version, it can't help but be complicated.

The light from the lamp illuminates the book.

The only voices that can be heard are those of Aine and Leticia. Compared to the inn, it's very quiet.

In this way, I hope Cecil can sleep calmly...

...................

.................. Cecil, I hope you're okay.

I hope there's something like this, some kind of magic to boost your strength.

It could be a blessing or ...... ritual.

...... rituals .............

”The two of us are as one living being deeply connected as one another.

”Great recovery effect.

”Skill Awakening.

............ I see.

I left the room.

Cecil's room is next door.

I knocked, waited for him to answer, and then opened the door.

I didn't want to wake you up. ”Cecil.

I've slept a lot on ....... ............

Under the moonlight, Cecil was waking up.

She's wearing a nightgown that she kept in her room. It resembles the yukata in my world.

It suits Cecil, who has a slender figure, well.

How are you feeling?　Can I get you some water?

You're welcome. ......

With sleepy eyes, Cecil replies.

'I'm much ...... better than I was during the day. I'll be ready to work tomorrow.

No.

At ......, but I'm not comfortable doing this at ......

Cecil wiped his sweaty forehead and murmured absentmindedly.

”Even Nagi-sama, you all have your part to play, but ...... I'm the only one who can do this.

So why don't you do me a favor?

Do you mind?

Yes.

I said.

”I want you to spirit-link with me.

...... Oh, yes. Okay. Wow.

Cecil opened his mouth with a pop and looked at me with bright red eyes.
