...... Becoming, I see. "Light with a Will".

　You'll find that this was a good description.

　--The one in front of me is a robe, a little larger than a child's height, holding an old-fashioned staff in one hand, a robe (...).

　Not a figure in a robe. The robe itself.
　To be more precise, it was a human-shaped, inflated, empty (・・・・・) robe that floated (・・・・) in the air.

　The place where the body should be is hollow, and a light as big as a fist is shining faintly there.

　Of course, it has no face and no mouth. ...... It's as if it's speaking directly to your brain, and you can hear an inorganic voice like that.
　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of the most popular items of clothing.

　And thus, what you feel more strongly than anything else relative to them is an intense, oppressive feeling.

　A presence, if you will.

　As I thought, it's on par with Lefi.
　You'll be able to feel the presence in front of you is an inexplicably insulated and powerful person with your whole body.

　...... There are some of these guys out there.

...... Hi, I'm the Spirit King. My name is Demon King Yuki. I'd like to ask you first: ...... What is the king of the maze and the dragon tribe?　I understand the labyrinth, but what about the king of the dragon race?

"You killed the king of the Dragon People. The King of Dragons is hereditary. Therefore, the throne of the Dragon King now rests in your hands.

　The Spiritual King replied in a quiet tone, calmly and nonchalantly.

　...... Indeed, after you killed the black dragon before, "Dragon Demon King" was added to my title.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. It's just a title, even if it's called the current Dragon King," he said with a flutter of his hand, and in fact, since there was nothing particularly unusual about it, I decided not to worry about it: .......

I've been told that the village of the dragon is currently in a pretty bad shape ......, which explains why the seat of the dragon king is out in the open.

　When I glanced at Leffy, he quickly turned his head away.

"You know about ......?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no.　I had no idea.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family. I'm sure it's going to be a mess now that you've defeated him.

"...... Why didn't you tell me?

"...... long ago, I rioted and wrecked a village there. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get close to that place or even ...... tell you more about it, because I don't want you to tell me I'm going to the dragon's village.

"What, what, are you antagonizing the other dragon race?

"No, we're not hostile. Rather, it's the opposite: ......

　I was wondering about the unusually tepid attitude of Reffi, and the one who answered my question was the Spirit King.

It is the dragon next to you is the dragon of the world. The dragon next to you is the dragon that is the king of the world. That's why long ago I begged you to take your current position as dragon king. As far as I know, the village of the dragon was nearly destroyed and half of the dragons were injured and disabled for a month.

　Leffy, a tomboy.

"You ...... don't come in here and add new attributes.

"And there's no way!　They were so annoying that I had to go to ...... or rather, what's the attribute?

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　...... Well, it's true that she doesn't like to be bound.

　I'm sure you'll be able to get along well with the girls and other inhabitants of the house now, but it is in his or her nature to be a selfless ...... or rather, he or she is not interested in (...) others (・・・・・・), and he or she is not interested in (...) others (・・・・・・・・).

　That area, well, ...... I'm kind of the same way.
　I guess I didn't like the intrusion of others into my world.

I guess he didn't want others to interfere in his world.　We don't want to stand around and talk, but for now, let's go back to our abode.

Well, yeah. Well, I guess we have a lot to talk about, so I'll show you to my house first.

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your money.

　Besides, it's first and foremost this guy's friend. Let's trust him.

indebted. Now let's go.

　Then we took our visitor, the Spirit King, who had come, back to our home.


　　　* * * *


"Ahhh!　Spiritual Sensee!

　When we return to the True Throne Room, Iruna unexpectedly raises her voice to the Spirit King, saying that she is quite surprised.

　She seems to be quite surprised, and she is frozen, her big eyes rolling back and forth, looking at you.

"Teacher ......?　Did you know each other?

"Hmm . I had a bit of a connection with . ...... So, the little one is safe.

　It's not that they are relieved, or actually breathing out, but they are somehow relieved to be able to speak.

It is the same as it was you who gave Iruna your blessing. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. ......

"You cannot hide it. It is true.



　Reffi speaks with a satisfied look on her face, and the Spiritual King is crying out to her.

?　What are you talking about?

　I was unable to follow the story and had a question mark in my head, so the spirit king began to tell me the story of how he came to be here.



　--It seems that Iruna has something called "the Spirit King's blessing".

　It is said that the Spirit King walks around the world, and a few years ago, he once visited Iruna's village by chance.
　The village was very beautiful and comfortable for the Spirit King, who seems to be a tribe that lives in harmony with nature.

　I'm sure that the villagers were surprised at first to see the genie king appear because of his physical appearance. ...... The genie is sometimes treated as an indigenous god in some regions.
　It's not that they were disrespected, but rather that they were welcomed by the villagers, who were pleased that they were liked by the spirit.

　You will be able to find out the best way to make the most of your time with them.

　It is said that through his contact with her, he realized that he had the ability to use the spirits and gave them a blessing.

It is the only one who has an undistorted mind and can see the world with an equal eye. Fewer still when it comes to those who can wield it. It is part of my job to help those who have talent.

　So says the Spirit King.

　It's really a good idea to be able to have the ability to control the spirits, and Iruna is said to be the first person to give you a blessing in a long time in the last few hundred years.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of it.

...... I see. You will be able to find out if the person you have given your blessing to is safe or not and that's why you came here to find out.

The little one's family has shown me good hospitality. It is a duty that must be performed to ascertain the safety of the family's cherished daughter.

　...... The village was like a hidden village, with a population of only a few dozen people.
　It is said that Iruna was the first child born in several years among them.

　Therefore, she was loved by everyone in the village, and she was loved as everyone's child.
　That's probably why she's such a good girl.

"And if his baby girl is here: ......

"It's a long story, but as far as the kidnappers are concerned, I've already destroyed them and you can't take revenge on them even if you wanted to. Give up on that.

　When he cowered his shoulders and said this with a frightened look, the Spirit King continued to speak in a tone of voice that was soothing.

It's a good thing ...... is so. I'd like to thank you for avenging my death.

Well, she's like a sister to me, just as Iruna is important to you. It's natural.

　I didn't do it for anyone, not even for Iruna, but just because I wanted to.
　There's no reason to be grateful.

...... Hmm. It's not just for the sake of the company.

...... With an old friend like you, it's still hard to do.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. It's a little amusing to see that you have such a look on your face, which was as sharp as a sharpened sword and showed no interest in anything.

"Humph ...... I, unlike you, will only change as time goes on. That's all there is to it.

　I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　It's interesting to see the expression on your face that you don't usually see today.

That's right. But no one in this world ever thought that the day would come when that dragon would get his turn. That's exactly the kind of astonishment you'd expect to see in your life.

You're an overzealous fellow.

"I'm not overreacting.

　...... To hear this saying, I guess the Spirit King also has the analysis skills as a matter of course. Did the title of Lephi confirm it?

　By the way, the reason I didn't notice the existence of this blessing when I looked at Iruna with my analysis skills is because the Spirit King himself had cast a spell that made it invisible to others.
　It's impossible to know, since this spirit king is far superior to me.

...... I'm sorry, sister, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not telling you about the genie all this time: ......

　And coming to apologize in a horrified manner is the center of the conversation, Iruna.

　She seems to feel bad that she has kept quiet about her blessing.

　I often wondered what to say, and then tilted my head in a blink of an eye.

?　What are you apologizing for, Iruna?

"Huh?

I mean, you don't have to be honest about everything. And you know what they say about women, they're more attractive when they have a few secrets.

　I grinned and said that, followed by Reffi, who said to her, "So you don't have anything to apologize for, Iruna.

"Well, there's nothing to apologize for, Iruna. The only thing you have to apologize for is the inconvenience of being blessed by this boorish old man. He's the one who owes you an apology.

"You are the only one who speaks ill of my blessings in such a bad way.

"Oh, well. Then I'm going to be the one to tell you all kinds of bad things about the poor people you've tricked.

Should I say, "please be gentle?

　The two of them interacted with each other, and I couldn't help but notice a few words.

...... It's a rare thing for a leftie to be treated like a child.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

"Leffy is a kid, ...... and it's a big story on a very large scale.

　Then, as we were talking to each other as usual, Iruna .

...... Thanks, big brother, little sister!

　He smiled like a flower and ran over to me and Leffi, standing side by side, and hugged me tightly.
