The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
52 Episode 51: Waiting For The Reward

- Spirit covenants make you lose everything.

It's like an ominous prophecy. Back from the Adventurer Guild I've been thinking about the words Saran told me.

Until now, no information has emerged about the Spirit covenant. Only the one that tells the fact that there was a spiritual covenant even if there was one. Even that fact has nothing but foot-colored and abstract content.

I have always been angry that no facts have been left with regard to the Spirit covenant. Too abstract to verify the actual contents.

And the clue I finally found was what repelled the spiritual covenant. If that's what it's all about, it's no surprise it's certified as a forbidden book, given the current state of the Kingdom of Palettia.

And one possibility floats behind my brain. What if no one left material for the spiritual covenant, not "to leave" it?

"... they thought spiritual covenants were contraindicated?

If so, why? When the Spirit covenant makes you lose everything, who the hell left it, with what intent? Saran didn't have the actual book, and he says it's impossible to get it. In the end, the truth remains in the dark.

This country has treated the Spirit like a friend and like a god who worships him. Then the Spirit covenant with that Spirit should be a proud honor. Even though the story I've actually seen tells me that spiritual covenants are great deeds.

Then why is the method lost? And forbidden books that warn that spiritual covenants make you lose everything. Don't ask for it, don't wish for it, don't want it. That's... why?

I'm starting to feel like I stepped into a bottomless swamp. Unexpectedly, I get zero heavy sighs.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded as he blurred in a depressing mood.... somehow figured out who came.

"Uffi, you can come in."

"Excuse me."

I knew it was Ufi.

The sky is already dark and it is time for you to sleep. I would have made it look mindless to come back from the Adventurer Guild, and I thought it would come somehow.

It took me a while to get my thoughts together. That was all a surprise to me and above all an ominous warning. It's not an abstract content to compliment, but something that clearly informs me of the crisis, even if I don't like it, disturbs my mind.

Uffi looks at me like he's worried, and he even drops by my side. I sat down to sit on the bed so Yuffi would sit down next to me too.

"... what happened?

"Mm-hmm. I had something that looked like a clue, because it was too much content"

"Do you have a lead on the Spirit Contract?

"Yeah. No, there were a few other things I wanted to talk to you about, but it was so shocking that it blew me away..."

I can't ignore Saran's problems, and this time he helped me out, but I wanted to ask him how he was feeling about Yufi and Raini, about his parents, about his ex-fiancée... but it wasn't like that anymore.

A clue finally found warns me. Somehow I lose it. Even if I don't like it, I'm going to be heartburned by anxiety that can stir me up.

"... it was a matter of anxiety as to whether it was okay to follow the spiritual covenant as it were"

"Was that what it was about?

"Do not seek a spiritual covenant. Lose everything, it seems that such a warning was written in the forbidden book"

"... lose everything, lose?

Uffi breathes as if he had opened his eyes and ceased. I sigh and look up at the ceiling, too.

"That's enough to say a contract. It's not strange if there's a price for something. That's what I was thinking. But it was a warning that what I finally saw and came at me would lose everything.... I don't like it, it's really time to get anxious. I can't believe I didn't replace a clue in this way."

I still don't know exactly what this warning means. I didn't actually see a restraining book with that content on it.

Bad timing. Maybe that's why. But I don't like to be scratched in the chest. As if you could really lose everything as a price for a spiritual covenant, to the point where it seems so.

"... are you scared?

accompany Yufi as he lays his own hands over mine. Close your eyes to the feel of that hand.

"... I'm scared. I'm a little unsure lately."

I was like that when I was in Halfis, but thanks. I feel like I've been feeling weaker more lately.

I wonder if I'm more burdened than I thought by the heavy pressure of becoming king. I didn't think I was that weak, but lately I feel like I can't say how I'm doing.

The same goes for the spiritual covenant. At this stage, honestly, it is also unlikely that I will be able to make a spiritual covenant. It will then be Uffi who has the potential to accomplish the Spirit covenant.

Yet if they give that spiritual covenant an ominous warning...... it still scares me.

"You're really sweet."

"Kind?"

"You're indifferent to your pain, but you can't be that way to someone else's."

I wonder if I can say this is sweet. Honestly, I don't know if I'm nice myself.

Yufi, who was laying her hands over me, holds me. Don't defy the power to hold me, I'll be in a position to keep my back of my head in Yuffi's chest.

"... there may have been something in the past that might have made you afraid of spiritual covenants."

"Ufi?"

"I can't help but think that warning makes a lot of sense, too. Perhaps for a different reason than Master Anis."

"... that Yuffi also thinks the Spirit Contract is dangerous?

"No. I just think. He said I was too ordinary."

Rub Yuffi against my cheek against my head. I feel the strength of my arms holding me tighter.

"I've never thought of anything better than people before. I thought it would be good if it was excellent. To the queen, and to be king, there is no shame in being better than anyone. But I'm too far from normal."

"... that's what? If it's not normal, so am I.

"Master Anis's insanity and my abnormality are not the same. It's not like I'm scared. You feel the distance without interruption. It was a shock, to be honest, especially when Halfis praised me. It's not normal for me to do what I normally do, but it's seen as excellent from people's point of view. There are only things I can do. … but I wonder what that means"

Yufi's voice, which speaks quietly, is pale and comes naturally into his ears.

"I don't want to make you king. But when I fulfilled my spiritual covenant and became king… I don't know if I could be king who knows the pain of men."

"... what is it"

"Master Anis will be. You are a man of pain. Magic was born because you know pain well, and magic tools were created. It's" gentle magic. "It's magic for people, assuming it's used by someone."

Magic for people to use.... Oh, that's right. I'm sure I'm not mistaken.

"I'm not. Something must be different. I can't really explain how it's different. But it makes me realize. That's a distance that opens up beyond interruption. I'm sure that filling this distance is what I'm going to need."

"... Yufi sure is awesome. Maybe he's certainly not nice. Maybe it's too good. But that doesn't lead to the very value of Uffi."

Magic is not everything. Adore, fear, and turn away because the magic is excellent. I'll never admit that's all it's worth.

So I don't want to speculate on Yufi by magic alone. No matter how magically good you are and how far away you are, Uffi is human.

"Even Uffi can produce" magic for someone "like me. I told you, didn't I? He said we should make it easier to use the magic we've had. I think that's something only Uffi can do. I can handle magic more skillfully than anyone else and be a Ufi who is said to be a genius. Like me, I can imagine gentle magic."

"Yes. I want to be, and I want to be.... but that's because you were there, Master Anis."

Rehug Yufi to change my posture. Turn around so you can sit on Yuffi's lap. Just now, the light of the moon, covered by clouds, plunges through the window to illuminate Uffi.

Yufi smiling lightly was too pretty, but she was about to melt and disappear. Unexpectedly reach out and attach both hands to Yuffi's cheek.

Yufi stares at me with a smile. Its light green eyes shake with gentle light.

"You did the magic to me. I must have finally become a wizard from that day on."

"... it's a big deal."

"Master Anis is really bad at being praised...... no, you're bad at taking it. I never took it before, and I couldn't even look at it."

Uffi sighs like he says there are no specifications. I protest when I look at her as if she was a little uncomfortable.

Then Yufi turned to his face. In a cuddled position, he was deprived of exhalation to peck for a moment when his distance to each other was zero.

Once, twice, if the mouthpiece with the sweet bite that pecks my lips away, I will unwittingly pull my lips together. The heat on my cheeks goes up all at once, and I pull out my strength to keep my forehead without being able to look directly at Yufi.

"... unintentionally opposed"

"I want to spoil it, so you just have to be fully sweet"

"I'm older, aren't I?

"Then Lord Anis should show more respect to His Majesty and Queen."

Slightly embarrassed and mouthed by the hair. stroke my back so that my holding hand strokes. That's amazingly comfortable and the force falls out of the core of my body.

"It's okay. I'm here."

"... Ufi"

"I'm beside you. Whatever the spiritual contract is, I won't leave you unless I can solve the magic you've done to me."

"... So when the magic is solved, you're gone?

"Then call me again. Many times, your gentle magic."

Tong, tong, and. I get slapped in the back with the rhythm of my heart tone.

"If that magic can no longer be done. I guess I'm not worth it anymore."

"... I'll call you if I don't want to"

"I'll be waiting for you. Many times, as long as you want me. That's why I bury your anxiety. I will protect your heart. If you're anxious, please rely on me. I don't hesitate to do anything for you."

"... heavy"

"Because it's heavy stone. We have to stop the connection so we don't fly anywhere on our own."

... Oh and here's what I'll say. I'll push your head around to protest.

I wanted to tell you I'm here, and I wanted to tell you to stay here. But it's embarrassing to put it into words. Oh, I'm really no match for you.

"Dear Anis, Your Majesty is here to see you."

"Hmm? Father?"

The next morning. Ilia put in a report at the end of breakfast. The call from your father, what the hell is it?

"They got a response from the spiritual contractor in the example."

"What!"

I accidentally took a seat. The fact that we finally received a response may be that there has been some progress in the investigation that was not very responsive at last.

I couldn't contain the feeling of deviation when I thought of it, and with Yufi and Raini I headed fast to my father's office. As I jumped in, my father sighed, as I had expected.

"Are you here? Though I expected it..."

"It's obvious! You got a response from the Spirit Contractor, didn't you? So how dare you reply!?"

"Calm down, just sit down"

Show me the sofa for the visitors, me and Uffi sit down and Raini refrain behind. As usual, when we're in formation, Father sits down in the opposite seat.

"The reply arrived. That's it, Anisphere. I know we've talked about this before, but he's a different kind of guy than you... I hate people in the end."

"Hate people?"

"I hate being involved with people so much. I don't know if it's right to say protection to not give it to another country rather than to say that we're cooperating in this country... well, it's not like we're not trying to help at all."

"Are you that hard of a person?

"Don't be. So if you need help, you can come and see me on your own. I thought you'd say that, but if you visit without contacting me beforehand, I'll buy you extra frustrations..."

Ugh, that really feels like I hate muscled people.

"You mean to come and see me in person with that spiritual contractor?

"Oh, let's tell him where it is too. He's in the depths of the Black Forest.

"Huh? Do you live there?!?"

The other day, Uffi and I headed to the Great Forest for a stampede. I had no idea you were in that depths.

It's one of the spiritual flocks over there, and they say the more you go to the Oz, the darker the light will be. Sometimes stampede can occur, so much so that adventurers and knights are mobilized in monster hunts on a daily basis.

I think I really hate people trying to live there. No, if it's deep, people don't seem to lean on it, but come on...

"I haven't had a chance to meet a boulder in person in the last few years"

"It's good to go, do you know where or what?

"There is a special spiritual stone that indicates that he is a messenger. If I had that, I'd be guided my own way. Except they won't react without that consent."

"... if I had to go, I wouldn't have to react, right?

"I don't think it's in the boulder... nooo"

Will you stop giving me answers that make me anxious to get ahead, Father? But now that all clues are equal, even the spider's thread wants to snap. I don't have a choice not to go.

"Well, hurry up, Airdra..."

"Fool! Are you going to head alone for the depths of the Black Forest?!?"

"Ah, then take Yufi..."

"With the Duke's Lady! The two of us, and so on! I can't admit it!!"

If you were Airdra, you could be in the Black Forest by that day! If I go with a carriage or something, it'll take longer.

"And the depths are deep, you have to go into the woods for a few days. We need supplies, we need escorts. Don't rush it."

"Escort ~ ~?"

I accidentally raised my bare voice. Yeah, get in the way...

"Didn't you just think I'd get in the way or something? Hmm?"

"I thought!

"Hmm. You weigh in on the boulder too... don't you Shiratora! Don't interrupt! Something's up and shipwrecked, and if you don't come back, it's important! There's no way you can admit it!

"Uh-huh."

When I divulged my dissatisfaction, my father caught his eye and stared at me.

"It's not like controlling stampede! There's no way I can admit I don't care how much you know about adventurers!

"I'm sorry if I said that and you're taking my footsteps!

The Black Forest is a swarm of spirits and at the same time a habitat of demons. In other words, the woods are full of danger. Knowledge in the woods will be needed, and if strength is a half-breed strength, you can lose your life.

Even I like going deep into the woods... well, not much. Maybe better than the others. I've never been lost looking for a spiritual stone. will show you where the dying persuade you differently, Father!

"... if you say so much, you're the one going into the woods, and Uphilia will still forgive you. But take the escort. You have to let them stay outside the woods. We need to do a search for you when something happens, and we need to put some reward in the Imperial Castle. Not to mention I refuse to admit flying with flying magic props!

"... So, who do you want me to escort?

"That's what you look for, but it's good. Let the Knights see their faces. You choose carefully. You can count on adventurers for whatever you want, but don't worry about the rest."

"... I'll do it if I have to"

Wow, I don't feel like it. I think we should make it as small as possible. Still, in case you think about searching or contacting the Royal Castle, you can't make it to that small number.

Ugh, I'm heavy. I'm very concerned.

"Talk to the Commander of the Kingsguard Knights and see. We'll need someone who can take care of the escort on the road."

"Yes...... ok Yikes"

"Whatever it is, I won't admit it if one or two of us jump out. Come on, we're done talking. Do your own thing."

Father tells me as I wave with a handle that drives me away. I don't feel comfortable, but I know what you're trying to say. Guards, I think we need to replace them.

He leaves his father's office and moves on to return to the outhouse once. Then Raini called out to me.

"Um, Master Anis"

"Hmm? What's up, Raini?"

"Will you take me with you on this road to the Black Forest?

"Huh?"

"I have traveling experience, and I think I need a caregiver, no matter how much Anis is used to. So why don't you take me?"

"... you can't take me into the woods on a boulder, can you?

Raini is not extraordinary in magic. Not at all helpless because of the vampire's abilities, but I don't feel comfortable taking her to a dangerous zone called the Black Forest because she was a very ordinary ordinance, let alone a civilian, until a short while ago.

Does Raini know that too, staring at me with a nod and a serious look?

"Yes. That's something I can tell you too.... If you could rub it with the escort, what would be more convenient if I were here?

"... Raini, that's"

I peeled my eyes off at what Raini was trying to say. Raini is probably talking about the vampire's mental interference. Although it does use Raini's power to dramatically reduce trouble on the road.

"I know there are fewer people on my side right now to Dear Anis. So am I wrong to want to help you with what I can do?

"... I'm glad to hear it, but remember that it's a means I don't want to rely on. Which way, the escort has to be chosen. If you could follow Raini as his caregiver, I'd be happy to."

"Yes! I need to talk to Master Ilia."

"... not at all"

Are you happy to be able to assert yourself now, or should I be jeopardized that I'm going to be impotent?

Yufi looked at my face and laughed at Couscous when he thought so. Yes, yes, I'm not, am I? I know, dude!
