60 The identity of a large underground spirit.

My father and me suddenly appeared in Sauvell's study, and Sauvell and Loren were astonished at their eyes. It usually appears at the entrance of the mansion, so she seemed very surprised.

"Up to my brother ... I'm surprised so please stop it ..."

Immediately after recognizing something unusual, Sauvell looked into me crying, hiking in her father's arm.

"My brother? What happened to Ellen?"

"Ellen ...?"

I was sorry to say Sauer and Lauren's words that seemed worrisome, and asked Lauren to prepare a blanket.

"Ellen made a fever with too much power. He slept a little while ago, but he had a nightmare and was sick."

"Heat? Are you alright?"

"No, it's still hot. Sauvell, call on my mother."

"No way! Are you going to talk about Ellen in this state !?"

"I hate me, but things got worse."

Sauvell swallowed his words, worried about his father. Certainly, the orders from His Majesty have already flown. The mountains wanted to ask Ellen the situation.

"I see. I won't overdo it."

"Oh"

Lovell, with Ellen lying on the sofa, cried, "Oli!"

“…………?”

I can't wait to see how much of my mother's appearance that would normally appear immediately. With a doubt, Lovell called his mother's name again. After a short pause, my mother appeared panicked.

"You! Ellen ..."

My mother, who noticed me lying on the sofa, sighed a great deal of relief.

"I'm back safely ... good."

"... returned? What is it?"

"I'll talk later. Lend Ellen."

My mother changed places with my father and came close to me and tied my forehead.

“…… Kah-sama ……”

My mother smiled at me, who was too crying and the voice was faint.

"It's okay. Don't overuse it."

My mother's reassuring voice makes me want to sleep. Power came from the forehead with my mother. Leave yourself to the flow. The fluffy, shaking sensation of floating in the sky shook me like a cradle. I'm sullen, calm down as if the impatience and anxiety I had just been flowing away. And when I noticed, I was drawn to sleep.

After a while, Origin moves away from Ellen. At that moment, Lovell called out.

"What the hell is it? What are you looking for? I've always been with Ellen."

"No, you. It's Ellen's soul that got lost."

"……soul?"

"Essentially, it's like a nucleus. The body is just a container."

"... that Ellen's got lost?"

"I used too much power, and my strength to keep it in my body weakened and left."

"It ... if it disappears ..."

"... It was dangerous, so the spirit world is in chaos."

Origin then disappeared, saying that he would contact the searchers that he had been found. Remaining Lovell looks at Ellen stunned. Ellen was dying before she knew. With her knees on the floor, Lovell gently strokes Ellen's gentle face, unlike before. There was much to say and hear, but Lovell swallowed up with patience. And he sighed big from the bottom of his belly.

***

The people gathered in Sauvell's study were Sauvell, Isabella, Loren, Lovel and Origin, and Ellen. Ellen is still asleep, wrapped in a blanket received from Lauren. Ellen appalled Isabella, who was panicking over what happened, and Lovell asked Origin.

"Elen was lost, is that true?"

"It's around noon that I noticed that my strength had weakened. I was in a hurry because I was away from my eyes a little bit ..."

"Lost ...?"

Sauvell and Isabella were leaning on what they were talking about. And Lovell started from scratch until Ellen got up.

"Don't you remember that Auri was weird before going to school?"

"Oh, it looks like something is likely ..."

"Ellen said from the academy that there was a sign of a great spirit. But he was too weak to know where he was. So Ellen was trying to hit a place where his power was faint ...

"Are there great spirits at the institute?"

Sauvell's surprise seemed to recall the past. You couldn't imagine that there was a spirit in that place. However, Origin's eyebrows heard of it. It seems that they are thinking silently.

"... Ori?"

"I'm alone, I've been missing for about 300 years. I've been looking for it, but I couldn't find it ..."

"Ellen jumped up when there was a great spirit under the academy. He said he was helped ..."

"I've returned Ellen. That child shouldn't have been able to return on her own."

I understand that Origin was in a hurry looking for Ellen. But Isabella and others remain tilted.

"Ellen collapsed due to excessive use of power. He fell asleep ... apparently seen something like a dream of foresight."

I tell you that I was dying. There is no way to worry about no more need.

"It seems that a spirit that was at the school helped me where I could not wake up from sleep on my own."

"Oh dear……"

Isabella nodded in a mysterious manner, but seemed to have noticed that Ellen was in danger from Lovell and Origin's attitude. However, Origin revives Ellen and calms down. Ellen just woke up.

"Let's ask Ellen directly around that later. Let's listen to it first. Did he die from his life?"

"Yes.

"Let's get on the same day. It's no harm even if the kids become wild horses."

"So is it the last day of your stay?"

"Oh, the disturbance is in the van."

"Are you a spirit? Oh, that day is certain ..."

At that time, Ellen moaned. The conversation was interrupted, and everyone saw Ellen lying on the sofa all at once.

***

Open your eyes slightly with the consciousness that emerged. I couldn't feel the heat and sluggishness before falling asleep. For a moment, I looked around and why I was here. With my hand on my forehead, my father laughs that he is no longer hot. His face seemed too worried and a little tired.

"To-sama ..."

"Oh, good ..."

I can be hugged tightly. I realized that I was worried and sorry. If you apologize for being sorry, you will poke your forehead in such a way that you must not overdo it. When I looked around while holding down my forehead, my mother, Isabella, Sauvell and Loren were all relieved.

"I'm just awake and bad, can you talk?"

"Yes, it's fine"

As I tried to sit down on the couch from my lying position, I suddenly remembered a large spirit that remained tethered. The surroundings are surprised at me, who has a tight face in an instant. But I was impatient to report to my mother.

"Settle down, Ellen. Did you find it?"

"Castle ... I was in the basement of the castle church! Like at that time, I was chained and bleeding! I need to help soon!"

"Calm down, Ellen. That child's blood is okay."

"……What do you mean?"

What is it all right to keep bleeding? My mother gently stroked her confused head.

"When I rule this world, there is a child who created it for the first time. The name is Ark. The spirit that controls the power of this world and controls the flow of the essence."

"... Ark. What resembled Kasama ..."

"He is my first child. Oh, only Ellen hurt her stomach !?"

I turned my head to my mother, who added the explanation in a hurry to her father's silent intimidation.

"So ... my niece?"

"Yes, I guess it's Licht's brother in line."

If I remember well, it was similar to Richt. If I mutter with Ark, I remember that time. I wanted to help as soon as possible, and my thoughts overflowed as tears.

"Don't cry, Ellen. You said that Ark was bleeding."

"It seems that the tube was stabbed and was made to flow all the time ..."

"That's the cause ... I'm finally convinced."

When she leaned her head, she was smiling.

"Arc is, in a nutshell, a genie that controls the magic. 200 years and 14 years ago ... the reason the monster tempest occurred here was because the arc was captured."

This fact also makes Sauvell breathe. I asked my mother what it was.

"Arc is always circulating the elements of this world. Elements are simply water-like substances, but they stop moving without the power of the outside world. In order to do that we need to go around the magic. ''

Everyone was listening silently. And the origin continues.

"Ark must always use power for the world, so if he gets more power ... then he has to replenish what he has taken away. I can't turn it into the world's circulation. "

"... it means that if a blood clot is formed by an impact, the magic that can no longer circulate will remain in one place and eventually act on the animals there."

"Yes, the monster tempest is ready."

To my muttering, my mother smiled with just the right answer. The Sauvells were confused because the story was too large. However, it seemed only recognizable that the spirits that played that important role were confined to the school.

"Can such a large spirit be captured by humans?"

Sauvell's question was legitimate. Those who could be great spirits did not seem to be easily caught.

"Ark is a bit ... not quite, isn't it? It's a leisurely shop. You probably took a nap in the grasslands of the human world."

"eh"

"Once you sleep, it's hard to wake up. You'll sleep for decades ... If a human finds it, you'll be able to get away with whatever spirit is it?"

"Yeah, sure ..."

"I was wondering how the royal family could create a magic that could hold the spirits back then, but now I know."

"Wait, wait. If you can manipulate magic elements, can't you control your own magic elements?"

If you can stop releasing magic elements, you should be able to control the flowing element.

"Ellen-chan. You know we can and cannot do what we do, right?"

"Yes……"

I am an elemental spirit. This force, which seems to be capable of even increasing or decreasing the material in this world, is actually subject to various restrictions. You can't do anything. Even if you use it, the amplitude of the force depends on your own power. If you use too much power, you will fall like me.

"The arc that controls the circulation of magic can not stop the flow. This is to prevent the arc from being stopped by the existence of the arc. If the circulation is stopped, this world will die. This restriction has been made for the world. ''

We had no choice but to talk to my mother with a troubled face.
