43-Episode 40: Noisy







 After the Golden Week, the usual routine has returned.
 It's sluggish, but I'll start school again today.

Whew! Nemi!
Whew. Nighty.

 The fairy above my head is yawning as I yawn................................Fairy!

'Why are you there as a matter of course!
'It's kind of cozy on top of my master's head! That's why I'm following you.

 Seriously, it was too natural for me to notice.
 I don't have time to go back now, so I'll just have to take her to school like this.......

''Don't ever show up because some people might look like the last time you were here.
I'm fine, I'm fine! I'm not going to make that mistake again!

  There's no one who can see it, and it's not going to be easy to find someone who can see it.

'Oh, by the way, Nia, did you catch that bug yet?
Hi, I'm very interested in this insect. There is a lot of subtlety in what you see, but there's something else that I find very interesting.
Oh, yeah. Let him go when he's ready.

 I don't know why, but Nia is very fond of the golden scarab she caught on her way home from flower viewing yesterday.
 It took robotic form and is still playing with the scarab beetle in her bag.
 Well, the scarab beetle seems to be in good health, so I guess it's safe to leave it alone for a while longer.

"Well, boots........hmm?

 As I was thinking about this, it suddenly happened.
 When I checked the shoe box to change into my boots, I found what looked like a letter inside.

''This........''

 When I opened it fearfully, I found that the letter had a simple sentence in poorly written, but cute handwriting.

I'll be waiting for you in front of the Sapporo TV Tower after school. Please come.

Oh, my God!

 I checked the shoe box quickly.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. This is a master shoebox.

 Nia was right, it is indeed my shoebox. There's no doubt about it.
 So does that mean that this might be.........

"Master's got it~! Isn't that what they call a love letter!

 I nodded quietly at the fairy's words.
 Apparently, spring has come to me as well.









 After school. In a foggy park, there were two girls.

'I'm really sorry. I told my sister and father, but for some reason they wouldn't help me...
''It's totally fine. It's just reassuring to have Junna helping me out!

 The dark-haired girl who shows her apology is Junna Mizukami. The blonde girl who responds to that is her best friend, Auru.

'Auru, I have to maintain my wards, so I can't fight at full strength. The other party is a handful that can shake off Auru's scouting messenger (Koganemushi). If it comes to a fight, be careful.
'It's okay, I don't do anything rash. Besides, I have these kids.

 As he said this, Aul stared at the two balls of light flying overhead.

'Well, that was an unnecessary worry. No matter how skilled you are, there's no way you could hurt Auru.

 Junna agrees with Auru's confidence.
 This is because Junna understands her abilities as a fellow spiritist and best friend better than anyone else.

''Looks like you're here.''
We'll have a proper talk first.

 As soon as they finished talking, they were facing a boy who was walking leisurely through the fog.









'Oh....'

 After school. I came to the front of the TV tower as specified, but it was a painful mistake.

'I don't know who the sender is...'

 I was too buoyant. Why didn't I notice this before....

I didn't see any sender on the letter. I mean, master, shouldn't you have changed your clothes?
Yeah, sure.

 The fairy was right.
 I went back and changed out of my uniform once I came back, but it would have been rather nice to be marked in my uniform. That didn't work either.

''But it's going to take me a while to get back now, so I'll stay in it.

 Let's hope the person to whom I'm writing finds me in plain clothes.

'I've found you!
We have found them!
What?

 As I was thinking about this, suddenly, two girls jumped out of the crowd.
 One was a girl with a short stylish ponytail..........................Ah! So you're Junna, the committee chairman's sister!
 The other blonde girl the one I bumped into yesterday at the flower viewing!

You're not going to get away with this!
Stay in the noose!
'Yeah! Why!

 What do you mean? You're the one who called me out, and I didn't escape in the first place.......

''Misty Illusionary Wards!''
Warding?

 Completely ignoring our convenience, the chairman's sister set up a fog-like ward. Tourists and passersby near the TV tower naturally go out of the ward.
 I see, it seems to have the effect of avoiding people and inhibiting recognition from the outside.

"Learn to master.

 But what the hell is going on? I only came here because I was called out, but then they said I was running away and I was surrounded by wards without question... I don't understand.

''Master!''
'What? Look out!

 I avoided it as quickly as I could at the fairy's words, and a spear of water was thrust into the ground where I had been standing just before.

''You missed, you reacted better than you did earlier.
''Junna........Don't you think she has a different vibe than before? I'm not even dressed in a uniform....
'Awl, what are you talking about? He tried to kill us. Don't let your guard down.
That's right. I'm sorry.
Let's take her down now for now. We'll take him down now, and then we can talk about it.
'Yes, sir! Sanda, "Shot Barrett"! Gran, it's the 'Saucer Blade'!

 When the two of them thought they were talking about something, the blonde girl was the one who sent a scatter of thunderbolts and a dish-shaped blade made of rocks flying.

''Suddenly, this is so egregious...''

 The countless scattered bullets and diffused attacks with the blade leave no room for dodging.
 Under normal circumstances.

Enhanced!

 Strengthening his thought speed and muscle strength, he ducked all the lightning bullets and rock blades flying at high speed.

''I didn't prevent them, I ducked!
Well, that's the first time I've ever been treated like that!

 The two of them are surprised. Fuhahahaha! I'm increasing my proficiency in "enhancement" every day! Different abilities and jutsu became too powerful to add or subtract when 'enhanced', but enhanced physical abilities could be adjusted almost perfectly!

'It's an amazing physical feat, but you can't avoid this, as expected. Deane, 'Lance'!

 The chairman's sister jumped up to evade me and fired a spear of water at my landing spot. Pretty good aim.
 But sweet!

'Scatterguns'!

 Even if he's in the air, he can evade them by firing shotgun shells from the soles of his feet! It will ruin your shoes and socks, but you can't turn your back on them...

Hmm? Dude!

 The jutsu I drew on my leg didn't react at all, and the water spear landed normally and hit me normally.
 Thanks to the "Strengthening" it only left a graze, and the effect of the "Substitute Tag" left no scars.
 But-...

Why doesn't the 'scattergun' go off?

 You can use both 'Strengthening' and 'Substitute Tag' without any problems. However, the 'Scatterballs' are not saying anything at all.

''It's now! Sanda, Gran, 'Blast Lance'!
d*mn!

 You're not going to give him a chance to think. Well, then!

'Triple Warding'!

 I can't even activate the wards to ward off the approaching spear of lightning and rock........!

d*mn it, "Toy!

 Just before the spear hit the ground, he made multiple earth figures to take his place.
 The spears that landed on me exploded, and all the ground figures were blown away. But I myself am unharmed.

You can't use 'jutsu', but you can use 'other abilities' without any problems? How on earth........
"When the jutsu is activated, the master is fully aware of his spiritual power. The presence or absence of spiritual power is not a problem.

 Nia did the analysis, but what do you mean by a flow problem? I'm supposed to be trying to use it as usual....

'Oh, that could be my fault! Somehow, I felt like Master's magic power was flowing through me from a while ago~. But I couldn't do anything about it, so I absorbed it for now. 'Tepee-pee!'
"I'm not a pussy!
Ew.

 I shouted, and the fairy appeared in surprise.

''Fairy, how can I get my jutsu to work like before!
Hmmm. Maybe if you sign up properly, you'll be able to use it.
"Contract?
'Yeah. Right now me and my master have a halfway decent relationship, like we're just playing around.

 How to say it.

'So I think if you sign the contract properly you'll be able to use the jutsu.
How do I get a proper contract?
'Maybe it's a name. I feel like you could name it! It's kind of tasteless to be called a fairy.
Your name...

 That's how it was with Black. In the world of demons and fairies, they would make a master-slave contract of sorts with their naming.

''Alright, let's give them names then.
Really?
Yeah, I was actually thinking about it.

 In the habit of naming Black and the others, he was also unconsciously thinking of fairy names. Habit is a terrible thing.

'Quickly, quickly! Name it!

 That's a hell of a bite. I'll tell you what you need to know.

Your name is 'Ur'.
'Ur! Geez, sounds good! What does it mean? Like, how did it come about!
Oh, yeah. There is.

 The tension has increased, and it's flying around my face at great speed. Its wings are grazed and painful. And it's loud.

There are fertility gods and goddesses of the past with names similar to that name. Other than that, if you read the first two letters of "Ultimate" (ultimate) into Japanese, it becomes "Ur"... well, it comes from a variety of sources.
'Oh! Great! That's my master!

 I think she liked it. Good, good...

'Hi-hooo!
'What? Hey! Ur!

 Perhaps it was the action of the naming, but Ur suddenly emitted a seven-colored light and the light subsided without incident.

'Hey, what happened?'
'Oh, I'm sorry I startled you! Don't worry, that's the signal that the deal is done!

 I was startled, I thought he was going to explode.

''More importantly, I think Master is now able to use his 'jutsu'!
Oh, seriously. Thanks for that.

 Among the techniques I've learned, I'm especially indebted to 'Scatterguns', the Yin and Yang technique. He was a little nervous when it came to not being able to use it.

''Hmph! I'm going to show you the power of the Ultimate Fairy, Ultimate Fairy, Ur-chan!
You're not going to fight, are you?

 Well, if they can fly so fast, they won't be a problem. If it becomes dangerous, I'll lock him up in a warding or something.

The Ultimate Fairy - Ur! Hmmm.

 You really seem to like the name 'Ur' I'm feeling a huge pang of guilt.

"Is something wrong with you, master?
No, it's nothing.

 I can't tell you this. That there is another word that is the origin of the name....
