The baby was picked up by the spirits and was named Vilm by Satya.

The spirits were about to start arguing about the name as well...

'If I can't be involved in childcare, at least I'll name it! I will not allow anyone to argue with me!'

It was up to the queen's orders (selfishly) to decide on godparents.

Wyrm was a child who did not cry much.

Except for crying to let the spirits know when she was hungry or had to defecate, she didn't cry when she woke up in the middle of the night or when she was startled.

Instead, he laughs a lot.

When they played with me, when they fed me, when I woke up and met eyes with the spirits I was sleeping with.

When the spirits saw that smile, they would also smile.

She was a baby that was so untouched that it was impossible for an ordinary human baby to be a normal human baby.

Eleven months after Virum was picked up, the incident happened.

Satya has been doing her job as queen, mumbling to herself, "I miss Viru-kun" and "I want to quit being queen and become Viru-kun's mother".

Satya's close associate, Meeni, came running in to her with a panicked look on her face and said, "Satya-sama, Satya-sama!

'Satya-sama Satya-sama! It's an emergency! 'Wyrm-kun can't stop crying... I mean, I don't know what it is, but he's crying like he's in pain!'

Immediately after receiving Meeni's report, Satya's eyes widened for a moment, then she ran out of the room with a speed that surpassed even the wind spirits.

The blast that occurred had blown Meeni away, but Satya was already out of sight.





''Fluffy! Ahhhhhh!

The sound of a grief-stricken baby's cries echoed around them.

'Oh, my God! 'I can't believe you're crying so much, Wyrm-kun. It doesn't look like it's a meal or a diaper, and it's never been like this before...''

'And he looks like he's in some kind of distress. She doesn't seem to be injured. Do you have a tummy ache?'

The spirits, unsure of the cause of Wyrm's great tears, are tottering.

That's when Satya arrives, who came running with a blast.

...No, fly.

'Vil-kun, are you okay! What happened!''

'Well, I don't understand it. He started crying suddenly a few minutes ago, but it doesn't seem to be food or diapers... and he seems to be in some kind of pain.

Sure. Would you mind switching places with me?

Satya moves near Virum's bunk.

She puts her hand on Wyrm's forehead and inspects him from all points of view to find the cause of the problem.

Gradually, Satya's expression becomes cloudy and it gradually turns into impatience.

When Satya is convinced of the cause (it), a large drop of water trickles down her cheek from her eyes.

''Yes. This is the reason why this girl was abandoned...''

"Lady Satya? Have you found out what caused it?'

'Wow, what should we do?

The spirits that crowd Satya, who seems to have been convinced by one person.

Satya slowly opens her closed eyes as if she is thinking about something.

It's a good idea to ask all those who are on good terms with the Jewel Tree to share the fruit with them! Be sure to tell them you'll thank them later!'

"What? Ah, ha, yes!''

'Okay, I get it! I'll go and talk to the others!'

The spirits obey Satya's orders, confusedly.

After most of the spirits have left, they begin to explain to the remaining ones.

''Everyone, listen carefully. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

"Magical...

Runaway...?

Compared to spirits, the amount of magic power of humans is very small.

There's no way they have the magical power to cause a runaway.

You can't believe it, but it's true. Probably, but the blackness of Vilm's eyes and hair is due to the pigmentation change caused by the enormous amount of magical power. The amount of magical power... far exceeds my amount of magical power.

"'?

This is a spirit that cannot be surpassed by any other species in terms of magical power.

They lightly surpassed the amount of magical power of Satya, the queen who stood at the top of the pack.

The spirits were so shocked that they lost their words.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. It's a good idea to release the magic power, but he still has no way to release it when he's a baby. And the magic power that has exceeded its capacity and lost its place has begun to rampage.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier.

If you leave it like this, she will die for sure. It's not just a matter of time before you find yourself in the middle of the night. This is also the reason why her parents abandoned her. I'm sure they didn't know it was because of the magic runaway, though.

"Dying..."? 'Mr. Wyrm?'

I'm sorry. You're still so little!'

"Lady Satya! Can't you do something about it!''

Even though it's less than a year, the Virum that they have loved and raised as their own children will die.

When the spirits heard this, they went into a frenzy and called out to Satya.

''Pull yourself together!

Satya's blackmail.

'Vilm is enduring, trying desperately to live! What are we, as mothers, going to do to get upset?

Those are the words of a queen, or rather, a mother who loves her child.

"If you would just give me a piece of the Jewel Tree fruit, that would make things a little bit better, but it doesn't solve anything. But it's not going to solve anything.

What if?

"Shut up and listen!

What?

At Satya's swashbuckling, the spirit that is about to make a fuss for a moment closes its mouth.

It's not a good idea to have a good time, but it's a good idea to have a good time. But, as of now, this child is unable to release its magic power on its own. If that's the case...

At the queen's words, the spirits gasped, probably realizing something.

''We, the spirits, will make a contract with this child and become the vessel to receive its magical power.

There are not a few who make a contract with spirits.

They are called spirit mages or summoners, and they use the power of the spirits to conduct battles and use magic.

But when it comes to contracts with babies, their numbers are drastically reduced.

Even in the long history of what seems like an eternity, there are not even a few who have made a contract with a baby since they were babies to fill one hand.

It's because they can't communicate with each other.

That's how difficult it is to make a contract with a baby.

''To be honest, I would like to sign a contract with you to help Virum, but when the release of magic power begins, there is no one who can restrain it. Therefore, from among you ladies, ━━━━'

I'll do it.

Before Satya's words were finished, the spirit who controlled the flame came forward.

Even when she wasn't in the period of raising her own, she came to check on Virum and take care of him more than the other spirits.

''It's not okay for her to die when she's so small! Lady Satya! Let me, please let me do it!

I'll see to it. I'll leave it to you. Once the magic is released, I am unable to do anything about it. Jenny! Meeni!

Satya calls out to the two people she trusts the most, the two people in her entourage.

''Ha!''

Yes!

We will now perform the ritual of the covenant. In the unlikely event that you are in the village, you will evacuate all those who are inside.

In case.

That means there's a chance of total annihilation (that).

Naturally, the two of you will argue...

''What? That's...

"You're not allowed to argue. Is that clear?

I couldn't do it.

Arguably, the dignity of a queen and the determination of a mother.

''...''

They nodded painfully and ran off to hide it.

After watching them, Satya, along with the remaining spirits for the contract, began the contract ceremony.





A shimmering, glowing ward envelops the surroundings.

Satya, the queen of spirits, poured all of her energy into this powerful ward that even a ten thousand army would not be able to break through.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been in a position to do this.

A crystal-clear voice resounds within the ward.

''O you who desire my power...''

The price is thine own magic.

...you will feed on the magic of the world...

My power is yours to command.

It overflows, the light of the contract.

It fizzles out before being sucked into Virum and disappears fleetingly.

'Another failure...? Why!''

She tries desperately to make a contract, but for some reason it doesn't work.

''...Because a contract requires an agreement between the contractor and the spirit, both parties. Still a baby, Virum doesn't understand what the contract is and what we're trying to do.''

"...well, you know.

'I knew it. 'We'll do it until the Wyrm accepts it. As many times as you want, dozens of times as you want.

"Huh! Ha, yes!''

Once again, the two of them attempt the contracting ritual.

Suddenly, countless numbers of something nearly black and purple pop out from Virum's body.

'Sa, Satya-sama! This is no way!'

"What? Too soon!'

Wyrm's body couldn't bear it, and the runaway magic power began to be released out of his body.

You can't afford to lose any more time. You must run away from the village. I don't know if this will work or not, but I'm going to...''

O ye of unsullied souls... - O ye of unsullied souls...

Suddenly, a voice that was not Satya's thing rang out.



"What?

I pledge to dedicate myself, my soul and my entire being to thee and to live as brothers and sisters.

Satya's eyes flashed to the sight of the spirit, who gently and forcefully grasped Virum's hand and spun the words.



You! You know what that means!'

Satya senses what the spirit is trying to do and tries desperately to stop it, but the spirit won't listen to her.

My soul shall become a sword and I shall strike down thy enemies...

"Stop it! Now is the time.

Satya tried desperately to talk me out of it... but I just couldn't do it.

"My name is Hinori! My brother, the devourer of the enemies of Wyrm!

-The vow between Vilm and Hinori is complete.

At the same time as the pledge is completed, a terrifyingly enormous, almost abnormally large amount of magical power is poured into Hinori.

''Ah..........!

Hinori suffers from too much shock, but he grits his teeth and does his best to endure it, hoping that this will save Virum.

The magic power emitted from the Virum flows into Hinori without stopping.

'Hinori! Cut the resonance now! You can't keep your body like this!

Satya, who had put all her energy into maintaining the wards to suppress the release of magic power, couldn't move suddenly.

''Great, strong, sir. Satya, sir. Virum...? Don't worry. I'll get you out of here, okay?

The pain will be intense.

It would be more painful than choking.

But Hinori would not let go of Virum's hand.

This little life, to save his own brother.

'Ah, ggh...!

Hinori lets out a scream as the pain and suffering exceeds the limit.

''Hinori!

"Ahhhh...

Hinori doesn't respond to Satya's call and collapses like a puppet whose strings have been broken.

Falling to the ground, at that moment, Hinori's body undergoes a change.

Her body began to shine, and the light was transformed into a fierce, burning flame.

The parts wrapped in that flame are covered with beautiful red body hair, and the atmosphere that was just so s*xy becomes more lustrous.

In one fell swoop, the hair that reached around her waist was dyed crimson, and while brushing up her smooth hair, her sharp wings appeared.

''Impossible...'' Hinori shouldn't have had the magical power to evolve into a high-level spirit. You will be able to find out more about the fact that you can't get to the top of the list and evolve into a spirit animal.

Satya's worries from earlier were nowhere to be seen as she stared at Hinori, who had become a spirit beast, stunned.

''Satya-sama, we'll talk about me later. For now, please be happy for Virum's safety.''

With a huff, Satya looked up and Vilm was handed over to Satya's arms.

He didn't look like he was in pain until just now, and was sleeping smoothly and comfortably.

'Good..... Vilm is safe, really...''

Hinori, who was happy that Virum was safe despite her tears, falls to Satya's chest, perhaps because of the relief she felt.

Satya, who received Vilm well so that she wouldn't be crushed, slowly sits down so as not to drop her and lays her head in his lap.

The first thing you need to do is to have a look at the newspapers. You're the one who saved Virum's life.

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

It's a good thing that you're a mother and brother.

That is also natural.

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