129 It shouldn't be like this.

"Now let's make a deal. Your soul is in danger while you're doing this."

When she heard Vaur's words, Ellen panicked.

"Ga, Gadier, are you okay?

"... even if they say it's dangerous, I don't really feel it."

Gadier is checking her body from arm to leg within sight, but nothing in particular seems to be happening.

Even within the range Ellen was looking at, Gadier's body did not appear to have an abnormality.

Maybe I don't know because I'm in a dream.

"Does it hurt?

"I don't think so. Thank you for your concern."

Huh? Hmm, yeah.

Gadier thanked Ellen happily and her cheeks became hot.

(Ugh... it's kind of embarrassing...)

As she became red again, she glanced at Gadier. I didn't think I'd lose sight of Gadier.

(Why are you so embarrassed...)

Ellen pressed to hide her cheeks while they were still hot. If you look closely, you can see that the wrists and the like are also red. Apparently it's rising to body temperature.

If this keeps going, Ellen's going to have a fever, so let's hurry up.

Origin, who was looking through Ellen's condition, said that in a light tone.

I don't have a fever! I tried to say that, but Gadier was more hurried than that.

"Is Ellen okay!?"

"Yeah, it's okay!

They were worried about each other, and Ellen got a little crazy.

"Maybe I'm excited because I didn't think I could talk to Gadier like this. Let's talk about this!

When Ellen laughed and said so, Gadier nodded happily.

"Ellen... that's not exciting..."

"Ahh... I noticed..."

The stubbornly spitting goddesses murmured about it, but it didn't reach Ellen and the others.

"Ah, but... how do you do contracts?

I don't know because I've never done it before.

Driven by anxiety, he said to Origin, "It's okay." Origin put his hands on Ellen's shoulders.

"Keep your eyes shut. I feel it in my heart. Ellen was already worried about you at Spirit Festival, wasn't she?

"... eh?

"Spirit Festival...?

Gadier shouted in surprise. That should be it.

After the curse was activated and fell, Gadier spoke to Ellen in front of the tablet with his brother Rasul.

"You were already worried about each other back then. A contract is a bond of soul. I thought maybe, and I advised you not to put it on your shoulder at that time... but I do care about anything that bothers you."

Fufufu, I was like that ~, said Origin, who remembered the old days.

Ellen blushed and her face turned red, and Gadier couldn't hide her confusion.

"Mother, why are you falling apart!?"

Ufufufu

"Ellen, what is Spirit Festival... maybe you were there?

"Eh, ah...."

"Ellen was crying all the time listening to us on the other side of a different stone tablet in the world..."

"Ellen...."

"Ellen is a spirit and a goddess, but I think humans are very important."

"Well, that's why... you told me to listen to you?

…………

"Thank you, Ellen. I'm glad."

"Uh-huh...."

Gadier gave out her right hand. She was urged to put her hand on, and Ellen put her left hand on the other hand.

Gadier knelt down and kissed Ellen on the back of her hand as the knight swore allegiance.

Ellen is thrilled. Without knowing how to react, Gadier looked up at Ellen and opened her mouth.

"Ellen, I know you're contracting me to protect my soul... but I want to protect you too."

"Gadier....."

I want you to forgive me for standing next to you.

…………

Ellen squeezed the hand on Gadier's hand.

Gadier seemed a little surprised at Ellen's reaction.

"You already protected me. Thank you."

Ellen thanked with a melting smile.

Ellen's eyes reflected light, sparkling in seven colors. It may be reflected by Ellen's tears.

Gadier had fallen in love with the mysterious eyes of Ellen, whom Rover had previously boasted of.

From Ellen and Gadier's connected hands, a magical formation spreads.

The magic team was circling around Ellen and Gadier and spinning.

"The contract has been made. I'll keep an eye on my contract with my daughter Ellen."

When Origin said so, he asked the goddesses to bless him.

"I see everything. I swear to God, Vaur will watch."

"Val, the guilty pleader, will be watching. You can't cheat on me.

Remembering the advice, Val almost laughed at Ellen without thinking.

I know it's natural. I wonder if this is the contract.

Connect the soul to the soul.

With the blessings of the goddesses, Ellen opened her mouth.

I am Ellen, the daughter of the Spirit King Origin. Ellen the Goddess, who controls the elements!

Along with Ellen's words, the power of Ellen envelopes Gadier.

The power connected Ellen and Gadier like the thread of destiny.

When the light emitted from Ellen, the enormous power was dyed white in the dream.

Gadier meditated on his eyes with so much dazzle.

[... uhh...]

When the light subsides, the Origin and the Goddesses clap "Congratulations!"

I was wondering if there would be any change, but there was no particular indication that something had changed.

"Er... is this all right?

"Yeah, I'm fine. Good work, Ellen."

"Yes, Gadier, it's okay now...."

[It was...]

Huh?

I thought I heard something. As Ellen unexpectedly cleared her ears, Gadier realized that the light had subsided. "Is the contract over? She says the same thing as Ellen.

I wonder if Gadier doesn't feel it either.

[I like it]

Eh?

[I always liked it. I'm so happy, I can't believe this day is coming...]

I can hear it clearly in my head. This is Gadier's voice.

[Ellen, I love you]

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~!?"

Bofu! As if she had made a sound, Ellen turned bright red all over her body, and she stared at Gadier.

Gadier and Origin, who noticed what happened to Ellen, also tilted their necks to Ellen.

[I can stay with Ellen forever]

"Wait, wait, wait! What is this?

Bright red Ellen hurriedly hid behind the Origin, blocking her ears.

Ellen panicked when she heard Gadier's voice.

"Oh, yeah."

Yeah, I forgot.

Oh dear ~

The Origins seem to have noticed something from Ellen's condition.

Gadier asked unexpectedly, "It's your voice," Vaud said.

"The contract will connect your soul, so Ellen just leaks your thoughts."

"Eh...?

"My thoughts about Ellen are leaking to Ellen."

"Ha...?

"I wonder if Ellen can even hear you confess your love?

After that, Gadier became bright red.

"Hold on...! My feelings... to Ellen!?"

"Ellen, can you hear your heart?

!!

Ellen shook her neck with her ears shut. The face had ripened brightly red from neck to hand.

It seems that Ellen, who is slightly tearful, can't see Gadier properly.

After seeing Ellen, everyone thought, "I knew it."

Gadier looked at the shock, but it seems that the situation soon swallowed up.

"I didn't want Ellen to know about this...!

The Origins felt a little sympathetic to Gadier, who seemed to be crying a little bit.
