43 Episode 42: Clues are in Gori Mist (2/2)

Are the abilities different for each contracted spirit or do they have any common characteristics? What is necessary to reach the Spirit Contractor? Everything is bug-eating and missing pieces. Come on, I'm losing my mood.

”... I'd like to hear from the Spirit Contractor himself when this happens.”

The story hasn't come from your father yet. I don't know if it's difficult to negotiate, but I can't seem to hear from you right away. It's stuck if it stays like this.

Still, I can't help but do something and reach for my next paper to see.

”... oh?

I was unanticipated by the content. It was a paper called ”The Differences Between the First Spirit of Light and the Dark Spirit, Compared to the Four Spirits”.

The content is focused on the Spirit of Light and Darkness. Whereas the magic of fire, water, earth, wind spirits, and derived subspecies of spirits that are considered the four Spirits often have entities, the magic of light and darkness often does not have generations to form. Think about what the original is from this fact, etc.

”Fire, water, earth, wind. These magic most often involve some form of activation, including the subspecies spirits derived therefrom. In contrast, light and darkness each have no form alone, and magic has fewer entities. It is intangible from the original supposed light and darkness, aren't these two inherently identical...”

Heh, that's an interesting paper. I'm also a little surprised about the supposed first attributes of light and darkness, but light and darkness in this world are not conflicting beings, are they?

Thanks, in the knowledge of previous life, light and darkness are often contested or used as symbols of conflict, but not in this world.

Light and darkness are neighboring and melting beings. So much so that some discourses say that light and darkness are wrapping the world by joining hands, producing day and night, and turning to each other.

And as this paper suggests, light and darkness is a lot of magic that doesn't have a solid-like entity. To give you an example, the magic of healing that Ufi also used is the magic of light and darkness, right?

To be more precise, light healing is right for injuries, but it is used separately because dark healing works for the temper. Furthermore, by adding other attributes, healing magic is increasingly derived.

I have thought that medical technology has not developed because healing magic is excellent before, but I think this is a major reason why medical technology that does not rely on magic does not develop.

Even in bulk with healing magic, some wizards specialize in good healing magic because there is actually a wide variety of magic.

What is even more surprising to me is that many have the aptitude of light and darkness together. Only light, only darkness, is rarer. Or there are many combinations of light and any of the four major attributes, darkness and any of the four major attributes. But this is also a handful. Basically, light and darkness are treated as sets.

To my knowledge, light sees a tendency to strengthen the potency of existing attributes or to increase the intensity of matter and magic itself, and darkness tends to fog magic, contrary to this, or to weaken its nature.

In this theory, I thought Raini's mental interference was also an attribute of darkness, but I don't know if I can verify it in detail.

(... I wonder if Yufi's magic is awesome because he's also fit for light and darkness)

More than just the magic of the four Spirits, it can be strengthened by combining light and darkness, the first of its kind. Wouldn't it be due to this combination that Yufi's magic is amazing?

What I want to sum up in this paper is that if light and darkness were supposed to be the first, it would have been intangible. If it is assumed that the four great spirits were born from the beginning, it is presumed that the creation of this world has become tangible from intangible. What great feat was there to get there?

It depicted praise for God as I put it on from there, and I accidentally blew it out. The real issue isn't a tribute to God, but I feel like it's a cluttered way of writing as if I'm forced to write about it.

”Some people thought this way. Sounds like a pretty old paper, but who wrote it?

I scroll through the pages trying to find out the name of the person who wrote the paper. Seeing that name, I turned my eyes round.

”Hey, Uffi?

”... Yes? What is it? Dear Annis.”

Yufi looks up at me as I was in the process of organizing the material. I ask with my fingers the name of the person who wrote the terrifying paper.

”Nerschel Bougainvillea...”

”... that's your mother's maiden name”

”That's right!? Yeah, I wrote this. It's Mrs. Nerschel!?”

Are you kidding me?

”What house is Bougainvillea...?

”I don't work for the royal castle. You're away from Wang Du, too. I've been to the Marquis de Bougainville, but it's a peaceful place.”

”It's the Marquis. The territory feels like an idyllic countryside?

”Yeah, your mother said it was just right for maintenance. The Marquis Bougainvillea family is full of serenity, but her mother is quite a stranger among them, and she has been married to her father in one...”

”Oh, what's bothering me?”

I'm super concerned about Lord Grants and Mrs. Nerschel's taming. Um, it seems pretty old that I put out this paper, and I don't know if I've studied or written a paper in particular right now.

”Yes.”

”Yes?”

”Uffi, can I follow you home to the home of the Duke of Magenta?

”I don't mind that.”

”I'd like to hear a little bit about Mrs. Nerschel, and it's time to talk to Caind.”

”... oh, sorry for the inconvenience”

Yufi's brother, Caindo. They haven't been able to make up well with him yet. I knew I had to get along better than I was the one who caused it. Even that could take Uffi out of the Duke of Magenta house.

And, yeah. I would like to hear Mrs Nerschel's story. This paper, which seeks to approach the truth, the essence, rather than theology, strongly inspired my curiosity. I want to hear more about how the hell you think and capture things for once.

”Well, I'll let you know at home.”

”Yeah. Please”

I hope it's also a distraction for Uffi. I've been heading to my desk lately to decode history and organize materials.

Well, that's why I did it, the Duke of Magenta house! I guess I've been disturbing you since I came to say hello to you about keeping Uffi.

This time Yufi and I, we came alone. Sometimes I want Ilia and Raini to get some rest.

”Welcome home, lady. And welcome, Princess Anisphere.”

”I'm back now. And your mother?”

”We'll wait in the guest room. Please, I'll show you.”

An elderly butler greets us and leads us straight to the guest room where we leave our bags and the maids carry them.

If we went straight into the guest room, Mrs Nerschel would be waiting for us about her seat. He laughs at us as he walks over, taking his seat.

”Welcome home, Uffi. And welcome, Princess Anisphere.”

”Yes, thank you for allowing me to visit today”

”No, I didn't think you'd see my thesis when I was younger.”

Oh ho ho, says Mrs. Nerschel, laughing at her mouth hidden. If you take your seat as it is urged, the butler will brew you a cup of tea and serve it with tea treats.

Eat sweets when you pick them. Um, the Duke of Boulder house. You're eating good food, aren't you?

”I'm here today to talk to you about your paper, but... can't you say hello? Princess Anisphere.”

”? Greetings?

”I've had a good relationship with my daughter, so I thought you'd say hello.”

”Ohhhh!? Ohh, ho...!

There's sweets in my throat, sweets...! Yufi, who was sitting next to me, strokes my back. I manage to catch my breath and face Mrs. Nerschel again.

”Uh, well, as for...”

”Yes.”

”... uh, you're doing a lot better... the”

What am I supposed to say!? Master Nerschel is laughing strangely, and even Yufi!? I can only stop staying and narrow my shoulders and shrink...!

”I'm sorry, I didn't think Princess Anisphere was that much of a wife.”

”... make it a fallen weakness.”

”Oh, well! It is!

Duh, what kind of torture is this... Shit, I wasn't thinking about this development at all! This needs to change the subject quickly......!

”So? How long have you been thinking about dating?

”Duh, to what extent!?”

”Because even if my lovely daughter devotes her life, she will serve. You don't have any parents you don't care about, do you?

”Well, that's true... I certainly didn't mean to make you happy...”

”That you could marry Yufi?

”How could you talk like that?!?”

'Cause it bothers me.

That's definitely the only element I care about, and as a parent, I'm probably worried about you. Whoa!? I just feel like I'm sitting on a needle. Whoa!?

Yufi, you're turning away, but you know you're laughing!? What are you laughing at!?

”In the first place, we're same-sex...!

”You still like each other, don't you?

”And you don't blame...?

”It's more of a burning side. I've been keeping this kid's freedom bound ever since. If Yufi wants it, I'm going to support it as much as I can.”

”Well, I'm relieved...”

”But I'd like to ask you again how far Princess Anisphere likes Uffi, right? I've publicly stated that I like women since I was a child, but if I could have a lover, would I be that beginner?

”To, nya! Yikes!

Stop it! Because it's becoming my black history these days! And lover!? lover...!? now they say lover!? no, i dont deny that, but other people tell me, and their parents tell me, they die of embarrassment......!

Then I tried to pursue it several times, but every time Mrs Nerschel turned me back on topic. Somebody help me!!
