Chapter 281. The future of the Elementalists (4)

“They seem to respect you quite a bit.”

“....why?”

what happens when that happens?

I sincerely did not understand.

Could that be what he was trying to say?

“Weren’t the Elementalists following you, Arel?”

“...Were you mistaken like that too?”

It sounded a bit odd.

“That's right... Arel, you took the elemental spirits with you. Didn't you become their master?”

“In the first place, the elemental spirits were just temporarily exiled to Fahilia. Now that you know that the Holy Kingdom won't interfere anymore, there's no reason to avoid it any more, right?” Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com... that’s true...

that’s true.

The treatment of the elemental sage seemed to be one more time Nelvania tried to smooth it out at the time the war broke out, but after she disappeared, the Holy Kingdom once again officially acknowledged the contradiction of their doctrine.

And he apologized directly to Pena.

Thanks to that, the Holy Kingdom is currently unable to spread its spirit in front of the Empire... to be precise, Pena.

“But with that... why do those elemental spirits want to come to me? Are you not getting older? °1? Lel? Didn't you say something strange?”

“Why would I?”

” really?”

“This time for real.”

No this time, Arel denied it over and over again.

“I also asked what you were thinking, but that was it.”

“that?”

“...The Spirit King. That red tiger.”

Ah...

Pena sighed involuntarily.

Is that the spirit king?

The fire spirit king he summoned in the last meeting.

Pena reflexively brushed her hair.

An artifact that could summon the spirit king was wrapped around her hair.

According to Arel, if you have this, you can still summon the Spirit King?

Originally, it was impossible, but I had to work hard to get it.

he said so

Hearing that explanation, Pena freaked out and tried to return the ribbon to Arel.

Even if she thinks about it, it's because the value of this is beyond imagination to simply call it a gift.

On the one hand, I was slightly afraid of what the hell I would ask for after giving this.

And there was something he tried to return anyway, thinking it was more than a fountain.

However, Arel refused to return it.

You can't use it until you get it back anyway, so you just have to keep it.

In the end, this spirit king summoning ribbon became Pena's.

Jun himself sometimes told me to use it if I was bored, but after that I didn't dare to try.

The last war was an exception.

Fena broke into a cold sweat as she touched the ribbon with a story about it.

“No way... did you mistake me for being a contractor for the King of Spirits?”

“Exactly. Her Highness, Princess Pena.”

There was an obvious sneer.

“iced coffee? A true spirit resurrected in this era... Phu-huh! real spirits. Ahahahahahaha!”

No, he must be genuinely laughing.

Aren't you just laughing out loud?

You must be very happy with this situation.

Yes, that's it, right? ‘Why on earth am I

looking for

a man like this?

“From their point of view, Pena, you are the first existence in hundreds of years to make a contract with the Spirit King... Fufufufu!...

Because! Kheop!”

“...would you mind smiling or talking to me?”

“Kufufufufufufuhahahahaha! ”

....Are you choosing that?

“For that reason, it seems that somehow, among the elemental spirits, there has been an atmosphere of respect for you and Pena.”

.... Ughhhh.

From Pena's point of view, it was embarrassing.

Even if it is not, the eyes of the people around him after the meeting are really annoying.

Sometimes curious nobles begged to call the Spirit King, so it was really annoying.

But the elemental spirits following her?

Pena, who was silent, half-automatically thought about the benefit.

There are definitely advantages.

Even now, there are quite a few nobles in the Empire who question Pena.

There were also many who were displeased with the improvement of agriculture and the commercial plan with Ernesia Kingdom.

If the elemental spirits followed such a Pena, it might be reassuring just to exist.

I judged about half of it soberly.

The other half is also stabbed by conscience.

“Think carefully. because it is beneficial ruler?

ruler?.”

But why do I feel like I'm being handed over to something like this?

“Will they really follow me?”

“That's up to you, Pena.”

Arell said so.

“Once you have enough qualifications. As for her status, she's a princess, and she's in a position to stand above others. Let's say the king of spirits is like that. Is there anyone else besides you?”

After hearing it, I think it's like that again.

“If you don’t like it, I will decline. But think about it: would it be better for them to remain in Fahilia for no reason, or would it be better for them to work for someone who voluntarily wants to follow them?”

“But...

I was still hesitating as if I didn’t want to.

“And for Pena and you, this is right.”

“For me?”

“You deserve more than you think. You can trust this because I guarantee it. Because I, and no one else, taught.”

Anyway, I'm good at talking.

On the one hand, upon hearing that, I felt that I could not help myself.

“So what?”

“...Wait a minute.”

Pena asked to wait and seriously thought about it while Arell didn't say anything.

Is it better to accept him at his word or is it better to leave it to his conscience and reject it?

“???? Arell.”

“Have you decided?”

“Ugh”

heh.

After serious consideration, Pena relayed the decision to Arell.

“I'll accept the Elementalists into the Empire.”

finally made a decision

“I will accept them and once again make the name of the Spiritualists widely known in the Empire.”

Not just for yourself.

Even for them.

I will make a proper foundation for them and their descendants who have been hiding for the past years without knowing the reason and just because they were born with talent due to someone's malice.

For that reason, Pena agreed.

“....I get it. Then, let’s discuss the schedule for relocating them later.”

With that, the story about the important story work was finished first.

Both of them didn't say anything for a while.

The communication port was not turned off.

It is still functioning properly.

However, Fena did not turn off the communication port, and Arel waited patiently, as if he knew what she wanted to say.

“What do you want to say?”

U way

??????

When I tried to speak, my mouth didn't come out easily.

However, if Pena didn't say it directly, the young man beyond this communication zone would continue to pretend he didn't know.

I hated that.

Above all else, waiting any longer was her limit.

I'm sick of worrying about it.

“Arel.”

“So what the hell...

” Doesn’t Arel want anything from me?”

I admired myself for saying this well.

“Don’t pretend you didn’t hear.”

For some reason, I had a feeling that he was about to slip away again.

reason? It's just a woman's intuition.

“What do you want? As long as Princess Pena continues to grow strong and healthy, then I have nothing more to hope for.”

“Then why are you talking like a nanny there!”

There was a popping sound from someone outside.

It must be a nanny.
