Book 9: Chapter 12

Hello there, Im Mai.

Im a Spirit that controls fire attribute magic.

Halt-sama, a human, and I are bound by a contract, and its thanks to him that I can manifest here in the Human Realm. Im also his wife now.

Mei, my water spirit sister, is also Halts wife along with me.

Spirits dont have surnames, but because were married to Halt-sama, I also have my own surname now.

And I love this name.

Thats why, please allow me to introduce myself once again.

Hello, Im Mai Ernol.

Please treat me well.

Well, in the Ernol family, all of Halts wives took turns in doing the household chores.

Im always with Mei whenever we do our chores. Let me tell you about our daily work.

Mai and Mei are assigned on meal duty for today.

We have to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for 14 people and one beast, and thats the entire Ernol family Halt-sama, his thirteen wives including Mai and me, Divine Beast Shiro-sama. Sylph-sama, the Wind Spirit King, also comes here to play every now and then, so most of the time wed cook for 15 people.

Yesterdays chore duty was to go shopping. We shop for daily essentials, necessities and ingredients for the meals for the next day. Thus, the people assigned to cook were also the ones assigned to shop groceries the day before their kitchen duty.

By the way, Tina gives us the money to buy the ingredients. She also gives us plenty of pocket money, but we spirits dont have any materialistic desires.

Thats why we decided to save almost all of our allowances. Itd be great if we could go on a trip with Halt-sama, with only the three of us.

But then, if were to go, Tina will probably come along with us. If Tina will go, then Youko and Leaffa

Fufufu. The entire family will probably go one way or the other.

In the end, were always going on trips as a family, but I love our family trips, so I plan to suggest another trip once Ive saved enough.

Halt gave me a huge amount of mana, so Im quite confident that my power is at par with Ifrit-sama, the current Fire Spirit King.

Sorry.

I was carried away.

Its a bit of a stretch to say that Im comparable to a Spirit King.

But I can safely say that Im an awesome Fire Spirit, second only to Ifrit-sama. Hes not the type to always manifest himself.

In other words, I can be considered as the greatest magician in this world when it comes to handling fire. Its totally unimaginable for me to burn food. Even when I want to scorch it, I can adjust it to perfection.

Todays grilled fish is also perfect.

The rice is also steamed nicely.

By the way, we used Meis spiritual water to cook the rice, and of course we also used it for the miso soup.

This spiritual water can heal any kind of illness with just one sip, and if a healthy person drinks it, his lifespan can be extended for another year. Thats how ultra rare this is. Mei also turned into a Spirit King level existence thanks to the mana that Halt-sama gave us.

She could only produce a few liters of spiritual water in a week. Its tasteless, odorless just like normal water. Thats why nobody would definitely discover that were secretly prolonging the lives of our family.

Spirits do not have lifespans.

If Halt-sama were to live as a normal person, he would probably die even before a century is over. 1,000 years, and Tina and Leaffa would also be gone. 10,000 years, and Youko and Hakua, too

Thats too miserable!!!

Creator God-sama bestowed his divine protection on each member of the Ernol family, so their lifespans might have been extended somehow. But even so, there is still a limit.

Thats why Mai and I extend their lifespans through food.

T/N: Want some elixir of immortality? No need for alchemy, just befriend Halt and eat with him at his house whenever Mai and Mei are assigned to kitchen duty XD
