Book 2: Chapter 23

Cosmic Spirit King

I, this Great One, am the Cosmic Spirit King.

I govern all the existing Spirits in this Star*.

My daughters, who are so lovely they are wondrous to behold, currently reside in the Human Realm with the aim of finding a contractor.

I believe there is no need for them to do so, but my wife would not allow them to remain as they are.

My daughters finally acquired the ability to refuse a human’s order by their own will, so my wife instructed me to manifest them in the Realm of Humans.

To say I am worried is an understatement.

However, I also recognize that I cannot keep an eye on them forever.

The Spirits’ various concerns are all forwarded to me.

That is why I decided to covertly observe their conditions just occasionally. Despite doing that seldomly, my wife gets angry and scolds me because she insists that I should have more faith in them and leave them to their own devices.

Worrying is only natural for things that are worrying, so it can’t be helped!

For the time being, my girls are safely enrolled in a Magical Academy in the Human Realm. I contacted my human acquaintance and requested that person to assist us with the admission procedures and help my lovely daughters if they are troubled. He also promised that he’d assign his most trusted subordinate to be the adviser and professor of my daughters. Because of that, I finally felt at ease, but I am still a little reluctant to let them stray away from my sight.

Not a year has passed, and my daughters returned.

Maybe they are lonely at first, so they came back?—This is what I thought.

However, when I heard their story, they already found a master and had formalized the contract.

…Isn’t it a little too early?

Is it really alright?

My daughters are still immature. Maybe they did not know their contractor’s true identity but were only drawn to the strength of his magical power?

I must see him with my own eyes.

If I sense even the smallest amount of impurity, I will definitely dissolve the contract. Keeping that thought, I hurried towards my daughters.

“!?”

In a blink of an eye, a strong force drew my body towards the other Realm. 

T, this is a [Forced Summoning]!

I, who govern all the Spirits, have never been summoned by a mere human—there should be none who can do so.

During the Demon King’s reign of despair in the world, and when the world was about to collapse due to the Yggdrasil’s anomaly, many humans strongly desired to survive, and their wishes reached me in the form of magic, allowing me to manifest in the Human Realm.
