Hello. My name is Mai.
　I am a spirit that governs the magic of the fire attribute.

　I had signed a summoning contract with the human race, Hurt-sama, and was allowed to manifest in the human world, and now I have become his wife.

　My sister, May, a water spirit, has also become Master Hult's wife along with me.

　Originally, the spirit family didn't have a family name, but after marrying Master Hult, I now have a family name as well.

　I really like that name.
　So, please allow me to take that name as well.

　Again, my name is Mai-Elnor.
　It's a pleasure to meet you.


　Now, in the Elnor household, all the Hurt wives take turns being in charge of the household every day.

　I have always been in charge of the household chores with May.

　I would like to introduce our daily chores.


　May and I were in charge of dinner today.

　We had to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Halt-sama, his twelve wives, including May and I, and Shiloh the Divine Beast, the fourteenth member of the Elnor family.

　Sylph the Spirit King of the Wind comes to visit us from time to time, so at the most, we have to cook for fifteen people.

　Yesterday, I was in charge of the household chores.

　The Elnor family goes to buy the ingredients used to make the next day's meal, along with the daily necessities. The people on duty for the next day's meal are the ones who are on shopping duty.

　The money to buy the food is given to us by Tina.

　She gives us a lot of money for pocket money, but we spirits don't have a lot of material desires.

　That's why we save the money Tina gives us instead of spending it.

　I hope that one day, May, Hurt-sama and I can go on a trip or something.

　But if we do go, I'm sure Tina will come with us, right?

　Tina said she'd go too, and Yoko and Rifa-san would go too.


　Hmmm. What's up with that, I think we'll be going together as a family.

　After all, that's always a family trip, but I love family vacations that go with everyone, so I'd like to suggest a trip once I save up a lot of spending money.

　It would be weird to take Tina on a trip with the spending money she gave me, though.

　How on earth does Tina make so much money?


'My?　Just zoned out, what's going on?

　Oh, I was thinking too much and May was worried about me.

I'm sorry, it's nothing. I'll make dinner.
Yeah!

　May and I started cooking with the ingredients we bought yesterday.

　For breakfast today, we grilled fish, cooked rice and made miso soup.

　Grilled fish and miso soup are two of Mr. Hurt's favorite dishes.

　The rice is also from Phonost, an island nation in the Far East, which is Hurt's favorite country.

　Master Hurt is a transmigrant from another world, but he likes the rice from his home world and the rice from Phonost because they seem to be similar.

　Glendale, where Phonost and Hurt's master's house is located, is very far away, but May and I are spirits.

　Once we return to the spirit world, we are free to appear anywhere in the human world.

　But we can't take someone with us like Mr. Hurt.

　I've been able to do this since I was born, so I don't know how I'm able to travel between the human world and the spirit world.


　Aside from that, what's important is that we can provide you with the rice that you like, Hurt-sama.

　This is not something we can do easily. Because Phonost and Glendale are very far from each other.

　It's not something that most people would do.

　It's not possible for us to...


　There are several people in the Elnor family who are able to travel to Phonost and back in just one day's shopping time.

　Yoko, Hakua, and Citry seem to be able to travel super-fast, and sometimes go to a country farther away than Phonost.

　Our ability to go shopping far away isn't really a big advantage in the Elnor family.

　So it's all about taste and looks here!

　Honestly, Yoko and her team's food is, well....how can I put it, it's not very good looking.

　Tina has been teaching me well, so it's not bad.

　But the meat is burnt or the vegetables are unevenly cut.


　I am a fire genie.
　I am a very high ranking among those spirits.

　Thanks to the large amount of magic power I received from Harut-sama, I am proud to say that I am now on par with Fire Spirit King Efreet-sama.

　........Sorry.
　I got carried away.

　To say that I'm on par with the Spirit King is an exaggeration.

　But he's the second most awesome fire spirit after Efreet-sama. And Efreet-sama is not a spirit that is always manifesting.

　So I'm the best magician in the world when it comes to handling fire.

　There's no way I would burn food.

　Even if I want to burn the food, I can adjust the degree to the best possible.


　Today's grilled fish is perfect.
　Today's grilled fish is perfect.

　By the way, the water that we use to cook the rice, we use the sacred water that May gave us.

　Of course, we also use it for miso soup.

　One sip of this spirit water cures any illness, and one year longer life expectancy for those who drink it.

　Just like me, Mei has become a spirit king thanks to a large amount of magical power from Master Hurt.

　The water that she is able to produce just a few liters of in a week is spirit water.

　It looks, tastes, and smells like normal water.

　So they will never know that we are secretly extending the life span of the whole family.


　We spirits don't have a lifespan.

　If we live a normal life, Hurt-sama will be dead within a hundred years.

　After a thousand years, Tina and Rifa will be gone.

　10,000 years from now, Yoko-san and Hakua-san will be gone.


　That's just too lonely!

　All of the Elnor family members have received blessings from the Creation God, so perhaps their lifespan has been extended to some extent.

　But still, our lifespan is still limited.


　That's why May and I extend everyone's life span with rice.
