64 Spirit rituals and rescue operations.

On the last day of the stay, this day was a major annual event in the institute.

`` Ritual of contract with spirits ''

At the age of 14, spirits and adequacy are tested and ceremonies are held to communicate. During this huge event, I and my father break into a church in the center of the castle and go underground. Hume and Liliana are already protected in the Vanclift House.

"Van, I asked you."

"On your will"

There is no Kai here. Kai was 14 years old and was busy preparing for this ritual from the morning. The strategy for the final day had been communicated to Kai in advance, but it was dropped here if we addressed it. Kai told his father to focus on the ceremony. A once-in-a-lifetime communication. My father laughs at Kai if he must not miss it.

Although Kai was said to have been with him, the rescue of the spirits while everyone was concentrating on this ceremony is nothing less than an explicit operation. He told me that he was afraid.

"To-sama, did you tell Kai?"

"Oh, that? Not telling me."

"e……"

"Well, is that more surprising? First of all, if you deceive it, start with your friend."

I apologized to Kai for being so sorry for his father who clicked and winked.

Barfa was frustrated by Hume who has been blind since last night. From yesterday, when Liliana could not be seen, a man from the mansion sent his messenger. I wondered if Hume hid Liliana, but no one in the mansion looked at him. Furthermore, not only Liliana's figure, but everything in the room was gone. I can't imagine a chest or bed disappearing without being noticed. Balfa was confused what was going on.

Looking at Hume, he was accompanied by a hero's daughter lying down yesterday to yesterday. You probably won't have that much time, and if you turn your suspicion you won't be able to tell if your mother had something. Balfa bites his nails frustrated when things go wrong.

"But why is Hume no longer visible?"

Teachers have reported that they have not seen him since last night. He asked the hero if there was a fume there, but he was returned in front of the door without knowing. The daughter of a hero has been alerted after finding a hidden room in the director's office. Furthermore, today is the annual spiritual ceremony day. I asked the hero to watch the ceremony together, and my relatives took part.

Four years ago, the royal family was discovered by the curse of spirits, and it has been customary to watch the ceremony with teachers in distant curls. The Vanclift family may have been refused by the royal family because of their connection to the royal family.

In the first place, if you are so busy, you will not be able to search for Hume. The mansion was being searched, but the search was difficult because they could not enter the school.

"Shit! Damn!"

The paper hits the paper or ink bottle that was on the desk, and the paper falls off. If everything went wrong, the director was scratching his head.

The lid of the ink bottle came off due to the impact, the contents spilled out, and the surrounding area was gradually dyed black.

Kai exhaled, sighing, watching his classmates waiting for the ritual turn. Originally, at such times, I wanted to be on the side of Ellen as an escort, but the spirit entanglement was removed from the escort when the spirit dealt with it. However, if this event is said to be turbulent to help the spirit, Kai has no choice but to follow.

Is the feeling of alienation felt because I am human? Van will be attached as Ellen's escort. I'm a human, so I can't get in that circle

(I swore to protect Ellen ...)

This is just useless. If I could sign a spirit with this ceremony, wouldn't it help me a little?

Kai kept silent and looking ahead until his turn came.

At the center of the playground-like square were ten magic circles. It seems that each person stands at the center and communicates with the spirits with the assistance of the teacher.

The event seemed to be an amusement for graduate students, and all students were watching. Meanwhile, my father and I were observing from a distance with Muskel, an instructor of knight science. The royal family seemed to be on the side of the academy as a tour, and his father judged that he should not approach.

At the beginning of the ceremony, I noticed that the invisible red magic particles had become visible. The school used the power of ARK to supplement the power of this vast ritual.

"……terrible"

My father immediately responded to my muttering words. Do you see anything? Said my father, soothing me.

"The power of Ark is used in the ceremony ... To replenish this enormous power ..."

"That kind of thing ..."

A ceremony that is performed many times. Occasionally, small spirits appear in voices where they react. Every time there was such a reaction, cheers were heard from the surroundings.

My eyes were moistened by the sacrifice behind the scenes, which was performed like a festival.

"Ellen, it's almost time."

To my father's whisper, I raise my face buried in my father's shoulder without being watched. He headed for one magic circle in the hall, which he knew.

"... Kai-kun"

"It's going to be a fuss.

"Yes"

I wiped my tears wildly and looked ahead.

***

The turn has come. Stand in the center of one of the magic circles drawn in the hall. A teacher helping sideways said he was praying to calm down and reach out to the spirits.

(Voice to the spirit ...)

Will you hear me? Will you help me? The power to protect those who want to protect.

The magic circle glows. Could you help me?

I want to protect that person ...! !

The surroundings were noisy due to the sudden wave of power. A gust of wind blows and everyone around Kai is blown away. In the same gust of wind, Kai stepped on. What the hell was that ... A big white tiger slowly came to this place, looking forward while thinning. I've seen that figure. Kai opened his eyes to see why he was here.

"I'm a kid ... I called you."

The body trembles with intimidation like a howling beast. Kai is confused as to what she should have met before.

"……What does it mean"

"Do you want power? 』

"..."

"I heard the boy's voice. It's a monk's wish. "

"... can you lend me? To protect that person"

"The purpose is consistent from the beginning. And ... what? Even if a kid contracts with another spirit and a guy like that little chick comes out ...

Kai became asexually laughing at the beast that sniffed.

"Let's do the little boy"

"It's determined. Lend me your help !!"

"The contract has been made. My name is Van, the child of the great spirit, Vint! ! 』

The beast howls calls a storm around. The people around me were watching over the events that began at the school.

***

When Van came out, he and his father moved into the church. Lock it from the inside and work on it so that no one comes in.

"Tosama, this is it!"

Wait for my father, who locks from behind, running in the middle nave! Shouted. At the same time as the shout, a roar of shouts came from outside. The diversion seems to be working.

I burn the carpet of the excitement in front of the altar. And there, a hinged door appeared, just like a dream. The shape of the hinge is changed by changing the structural arrangement of the metal. The hinges that snapped off popped off.

Furthermore, he left the door with momentum and spelled it off with magic. Unable to control the power, the popped door knocks down the surrounding chair.

"Ellen! Calm down!"

She shook with a rebuke of her father. My father gently reminds me that I'm going to go with me with tears.

I nodded and hugged my father. My father holds me and goes down the long, dark stairs.

The further down the road, the stronger the sign. When I arrive in the hall, I rampage up in my father's arms without any help.

"Arc Nissan !!"

Tears spill. The stuck arc was loose.

"Kama-sama! Help Ark-Nama!"

My father was desperately calling out to me to keep me in a rush. But I can't hear anything like that. I shouted for help, just to help.

Called by my voice, my mother appeared. The figure was shrouded in light and laughed at me.

"Well done, Ellen!"

The moment the mother's arm was lifted up, the surroundings burst with light.
