Chapter 581: The Spirit of Time and Water

「!! I’m leaving!」

Fran took one last look at Romio’s face and hobbled to the entrance of the tent.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

「...」

「...!」

She sensed that Zelos Reed was coming back. We passed each other at the entrance but did not say a word to each other.

Soon, however, we heard Zelos Reed’s voice behind us.

「Romio!」

Fran, who had been expressionless when I saw her face, widened her eyes when she heard Zelos Reed’s voice. The expression on her face was not one of frustration or anger. If anything, the look on her face was one of surprise and panic.

『Fran, what’s wrong?』

「...No, it’s nothing」

It doesn’t seem like that though... I wonder what part she thought was so surprising about Zelos Reed?

Fran continued to walk in silence and returned to our tent.

The look of panic she had shown earlier was no longer there, and on the surface, she seemed to be calm. However, Fran was quite emotional when it came to Zelos Reed. To be exact, she was nervous.

She didn’t know whether she should call out to him or not...

When I was thinking so, someone suddenly called out to her.

「What’s troubling you?」

「Who!」

(Master?)

『My appraisal was blocked』

I should have been able to appraise her before.

「Fufu. Sword-san. It won’t work on me」

「...What do you mean?」

「Fufufu」

She actually knows what I am!? But Rhyn had no intention of pursuing the matter. She smiled and looked at Fran, who played dumb.

「I’m here to see Fran today」

「Why? Besides, are you... a spirit?」

『What?』

(I could feel the sign of a spirit coming from Rhyn)

For real? But certainly, I couldn’t feel Rhyn’s presence at all. It was as if an illusion was standing right in front of us. But I sensed her human presence when we were in Kiarazen...

Was she really a spirit? I’ve never thought I’d be able to see a humanoid spirit like her. Long ago, Klimut told us that a humanoid spirit was a high-ranking spirit.

If so, was the girl in front of us a high-ranking spirit?

「I’ll tell you my name again. I’m a spirit, Rhyn. The spirit of time and water」

「As I guessed, you’re a spirit... Amazing, you look like a human」

She was a spirit. And her right eye was purple and her left eye was green? Wasn’t that the characteristic of the Great Spirit, who is said to be guarding Lake Vivian?

However, when she told us that she was a spirit, I was convinced of her mystical beauty. In fact, there was a sense of detachment of the worldly sense that made it hard for me to be convinced otherwise.

「I came here today because I wanted to tell the both of you about something」
