59 [50] How to spend your vacation-Grandfather Sem, Bomb-.txt (2/2)

Virum was reluctant to hear the proposal to entrust the village spirit to a stranger (Assem), but the spirit's will and Hinori's persuasion made him admit it.

'Assem, I hear Hinori has something to tell you. Do you mind if I summon him?

Wow, eagle? I wonder if I've done something to violate Hinori-sama's intuition?

Assem, who felt uneasy about the fact that he had something to say from Hinori, who he himself worships like a god, has a different look of fright than he did a while ago.

''No, he wants to ask you for a favor.

I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass, but if Hinori-sama is good, I don't blame her. I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass, but if you like Hinori-sama, you can't say no to me.

All right. All three of you, take some time off.

As the three of them stepped back, Virum focused his magic power and began chanting.

The spun magic power formed a magic circle and became a doorway connecting the different spaces.

The flames moving around everywhere converged to a single point, and Hinori's figure was revealed as if to swallow the flames from within.

''Virum, I'm sorry for asking you to do this? Thank you for calling me out.

I don't mind. You wanted to see Assem?

The first thing that opened the door was a smile on Hinori's face as she spoke of her concern for him, and Virum responded with a smile, urging him to take care of his business to Assem.

Seeing Hinori, who had moved in front of Assem, his original negotiating partner, after greeting Meldina and Cunaria, the person in question froze upright and unmoving due to his nervousness.

''There's no need to be so nervous. Unlike that time, I don't intend to harm you for accepting Virum, okay?''

I am humbled by your request. I am humbled to hear that you have a favor to ask of me, but if you will allow me to do it, I will do my best. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Compared to before, Hinori's tone is much more shattered, but it doesn't seem to matter to Assem, who has a being comparable to a god in front of him.

(So the story about the dwarf race believing in the spirit of fire is true. If it looks like this... it looks okay.)

Assem speaks with Hinori in a position of worship, kneeling on his side.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

''Therefore, could you take care of one of my family members?''

Hinori-sama, if it is your request. I, Assem, would be willing to bet my life that you would be in charge of the spirit.

'You don't have to be so uptight about it. Once the contract is done, there's no easy way to mess with it. If anything goes wrong, I'll be on top of it.

In reality, they're not a family, not a tribe, but it's Hinori's consideration that Assem would be more receptive to such an expression.

Hinori creates a small flame in her hand that is held out to the sky, quieting Asseum, who is overly enthusiastic.

The flame, which had been moving around in a whirlwind, moves up to her shoulder area and pops off with a light sound of a pop.

The girl there was a girl who could fit in the palm of her hand.

That spirit, with the same red hair and eyes as Hinori's, is scurrying around with a curious gaze.

'Look, Krim, this is Assem, who will be taking care of you from today. I have to say hello.

”All right! Crim's name is Crim! Nice to meet you!

The spirit called Krim nodded and introduced himself cheerfully as soon as Hinori prompted him to greet her.

'Wa, my name is Asseem. Please, Krim-sama, I know this is a grueling place, but please make yourself at home.

”Assem... so it's old Sem then! Nice to meet you!

”(Huh?)

The moment Krim returned it with an innocent smile, a shock that couldn't be expressed to Assem was felt.

(What, what? This feeling of being scratched in the chest. It's a sensation I've never felt before. But it's not unpleasant... Rather, I even feel a sense of happiness...)

'And you know what? Crim is good at manipulating fire, so he can help old Shem with his work!''

”(Ugh!)

Assem, who couldn't hide his confusion at his first sensation, was hit with a chase shot of happiness.

'Afterwards, afterwards? Crim is going to be in the care of old Shem, so he doesn't need to be respectful, right? You can call me Krim, right?

''(Guhaha!)

Furthermore, Crim's onslaught, which did not weaken the chase, drove Assem's spirit to the verge of falling.

'If it looks like that, we'll get along just fine. Crim, you can't just walk out without permission, okay? 'Assem, take care of Krim for me, okay?'

”All right! Crim, I'll be good!'

Oh, of course...

Later, despite the support of Vilm and Hinori, the deal between Assem and Krim was successfully completed.

A few days later, when Virum and his friends visited the shop again, what they saw was Assem, who had turned into a brilliant old fool.
