Chapter 32

The blue-haired girl looked at Ruid and asked.

“Are you signing a contract now?”

“I never said that.”

Ruid coldly turned his back.

My annoyance radar just went off at the highest level.

I don’t want to be tied down to a contract or anything like that.

“Get out of my fox. “I’ll trust you that it was purified safely, so no harm will come to you.”

“You, liar! “You said you would take responsibility for me for the rest of my life!”

“...When did I?”

“You took my virginity and said something like that...!”

“Wow, you’re talking about big trouble!”

“Huh! Please sign a contract! please!”

The blue-haired girl sobbed and hung on to Ruid’s pants.

“If you miss it this time, you’ll have to stay in a lonely, dark, dreary space for hundreds of years! Don’t you feel sorry for me! “A heartless person!”

“How big is this world? There must be someone responsible for you. I do not want to.”

Ruid whined and tried to ignore it.

‘Why is the kid so strong...?’

However, because I had the body of a 12-year-old, I couldn’t move.

“I am a useful spirit! I can do it really well! “I can eliminate half of humanity, and I can even use healing techniques!”

“...There’s something strange in the middle.”

“You can work hard at anything! I’m still an active spirit, so please write whatever you want! “Please, please sign a contract!”

Ruid said with a look on his face that he was really bothered to death.

“Hersi, you can do it with Hersi.”

“Luid, you look delicious!”

Ruid looked at the spirit with dead eyes.

“I will report it.”

The spirit said while sweating profusely.

“Mana... Mana, Ma, that’s what I said.”

Hersy, who had been pondering a while ago, opened her mouth.

“How about a familiar?”

“Familiar?”

“Familiar is a master/slave contract. It can be easily terminated at the will of the contractor, right? “I don’t know what a spirit contract is, but... I think it’s better than that.”

Ruid glanced at the spirit.

“Is that okay?”

The spirit nodded with tearful eyes.

I know it’s a spirit that’s over 500 years old, but it seemed a bit pitiful to see it in the form of a very pure girl.

“Be a family member. “I didn’t plan on making it yet.”

Ruid was surprisingly cautious. A familiar is like a pet in modern times.

However, due to my personality of being easily bothered, I haven’t made anything yet because I was worried that I would end up neglecting it.

‘I think it’ll be okay. ‘It’s a perfect master-slave relationship.’

Ruid asked for confirmation.

“All you need is mana, right?”

A typical familiar contract is as follows.

1. Person A gives a certain amount of magical power to Person B.

2. Party B promises absolute obedience to Party A in return for receiving magical power.

3. Party B cannot betray Party A by any means.

A magic circle containing these contents floated in the air.

The spirit looked at the magic circle, his eyes sparkling, and he spoke bravely.

“You need spirit affinity, not magic power!”

“...okay?”

“But you also need horsepower! Because spirits can change magic power into spirit power!”

Ruid sighed and added ‘Spirit Affinity’ to the contract clause.

“But do I have spirit affinity?”

“Huh, yes.”

‘What was that sinister smile just before you answered??’

Ruid felt very uncomfortable.

But I also drew a magic circle, and since I felt like I was going to keep crying and clinging to it, I had no choice but to sign a familiar contract.

This is something that can be cut off if necessary.

“Lude Christopher Windsor.”

Ruid looked at the spirit. The spirit spoke cheerfully.

“Great Spirit—wow.”

I couldn’t hear the part where he said his name. It was a language I had never heard of before.

“...I propose to sign a family contract.”

As always, he was dressed neatly in uniform.

I always think about Irene’s uniform design as being very progressive. It is very similar to a modern suit.

White blouse, long pants. And a black coat.

Usually nobles tend to be flashy, but Irene’s clothes don’t have any decorations.

Thanks to this, Ruid was able to avoid wearing the tacky clothes of medieval nobles by using the cheat key ‘I want to wear clothes similar to my older sister.’

“Louis, you always go out this late at night.”

“The sun hasn’t run out yet.”

Irene came down the stairs while staring at Ruid.

“You’re a troubled little brother.”

Irene bent down and stroked Luid’s head.

“The youngest one goes out late at night like this, but he doesn’t even come to meet me, which is a troublesome thing.”

“Well, it’s still afternoon.”

Irene smiled brightly.

“Don’t worry. “I already scolded Lia.”

“...Are you listening to me?”

Ruid was dumbfounded.

Irene smiled and nodded.

“huh.”

“I’m not saying I’m just listening to what I’m hearing.”

Irene slightly opened her mouth in admiration.

“Luid is smart.”

“....”

Ruid was at a loss for words.

At that moment, Amelia was coming down wearing comfortable clothes.

Judging by the subtle expression on his face, it seemed like Irene had really said something.

Ruid thought that the role of the youngest child was to prevent discord in the family.

“Ame is doing well.”

“huh?”

“If you scolded Ame because of me, there was no need for you. Honestly, if I had come with my older sister, I would have gone back to the north a long time ago.”

Even if it was related to Justin right now, if Irene had been there instead of Amelia, no one would have been able to find her from the next day.

“so?”

Amelia, who had been looking at the floor sullenly, looked up when she heard Luid’s words.

It was a look in his eyes that made him very moved. Irene straightened her crouched back and approached Amelia.

“I guess my sister was mistaken.”

“...Oh, no. “It is true that I did something wrong.”

“Louis is satisfied, so I won’t say much. But remember the last piece of advice I gave you.”

“...of course.”

“okay.”

Irene lightly stroked Amelia’s head and walked back to Ruid.

“Are you satisfied?”

“good job.”

Irene said quietly.

“Then I won’t go now.”

“Let’s go a little longer.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I’d like to stay longer, but... I have work to do. “Please come during vacation.”

“okay.”

Ruid waved his hand calmly. Amelia also bowed her waist.

Irene slowly walked to the front door.

“Oh, I almost forgot this.”

Irene took something out of her arms. It was a letter envelope. I handed it to Ruid.

“This?”

“This is an apology letter from Prince Damon.”

Ruid looked at the letter with cold, salty eyes. The black envelope had the imperial red seal stamped on it.

‘It’s the most useless-looking thing in the world.’

“I heard that His Majesty will grant one wish as an apology for ruining the briefing session.”

Luid’s eyes widened.

‘It was the most valuable thing in the world.’

“There are things in the imperial treasury that cannot be bought with money...”

Irene smiled brightly as she gave a small tip.
