"Ong, I will take care of you again today"

"Hmm. Thou hast been angry with my mother, but I care not so much."

"Grandpa's more sad about what he was being expelled, isn't he?

"Hey, you know what?"

Everybody laughs.

As Asahi and Yang plunge from the spiritual tree umbrella that spreads overhead, the wives follow Mistral's instructions to get to work.

Yesterday, as planned, we stayed in the village of Mistral.

It will be the first time last night that my family came together and showed their faces at the dawn of the year. So, it was a welcome party to give the village away.

The lively banquet lasts until late at night, so much so that the heat is likely to melt the accumulated snow. It was a fuss about drinking and singing, but you can't scorn your duty the next morning.

Mr. Cornelia just pissed me off.

So, they all came to Moss Square in the early morning.

The Mistrals work hard in the morning to wipe Sleighsta's old black, glossy scales and untie her lacquered black body hair.

Speaking of which, If Old Sleighsta takes over the guardianship of the Spirit Tree from Lily, I'll have to take care of Lily this time.

Take care of Lily......

I guess I have to take care of you or be a playmate.

It's hard for people to take over roles from Mistral in the future.

Yeah, yeah. That Lily and Leveria.

Revalia sent us to Moss Square and went straight back to Dragon Peak.

I guess I was curious because I left Reem in Carnera-like village.

Lily also returned to the Demonic Nation with a souvenir from the east.

Sooner or later, you're still a child, even though you'll take over the role of old Sleighsta. Did I miss the Demon King?

No way...

You don't report weird, do you?!?

"Excellent, but also many gaps. It'll still take a while to leave it to me."

"From Grandpa's point of view, Lily's still here, too."

"Dear Left, you are the same. Deepen your drills every day."

"Yes, I'll do my best. So I have a question for you today..."

Unlike my wives running for me, I was standing in front of Old Sleighsta's giant face.

"Hmm. Counseling to marry a new wife."

"No, no, you're not!

"Hmm. I thought I'd welcome a new clan of ear elders who would refrain behind my back."

"I did welcome you into my family, but I'm not going to be your daughter-in-law without any moderation."

Just like me, Mr. Yun and Mr. Lynn are behind this.

The two wise men look nervous in front of old Sleighsta like Oyama. Lily's got a big body, too, but old Sleighsta's far more gigantic, and she's emitting incalculable signs.

Yun and Lynn may be in awe. You said you were in such a prank yesterday. Maybe it's because you're a wise man that you feel strongly about the existence of Old Sleighsta.

The Mistrals were taking care of Old Sleighsta, while devoting their strength to summoning the two.

Of course, I'm working on it.

With Priscia away, everyone is equally responsible for that.

I'm just summoning you, but it's quite a drain. You know exactly how much Priscia bears with her spiritual powers.

Yun and Lynn's introduction and explanation of the circumstances had been concluded within yesterday.

So, today is finally the real deal.

"I want Yun Yun and Lin Lin to look as good as possible. So, I was wondering if there was any better way."

As I talked to Mistral earlier, if we're on the right track, we just need to be honest. But there's no such thing as a delicious story about improving your abilities overnight.

But that's why I can't postpone dealing with Yun and Lynn.

They taught me how to attack easily, and I don't want to make it easier. I just need to know if there's a better way for both of us.

"Hmm, maintenance of the summons? Why did you ask me instead of Yuri the Ear Elder? If it's summoning, the Ear Elders will know better."

"Yes, indeed, I wonder if Grandma Yuri would be familiar with it if it was a summons of the Spirit. Yun Yun and Lin Lin are special. The two are similar, but different, to the Spirit. Plus, the force you use to make it manifest is special. It's not just spiritual power, but also dragon qi, magic, and the power of spiritual trees."

"Hmm. Ask me because it's special, huh?

Grandma Yuri is, I think, the most knowledgeable when it comes to spirituality. I've lived for over a thousand years, and when I was younger, I had an adventure with a witch.

But Mr. Yun and Mr. Lynn are not exactly spirits. When that happened, you thought Old Sleighsta would be more fit to live more than twice as long as Grandma Yuri and fly around the world even more.

"Indeed, I have accumulated a great deal of knowledge, and I have seen and heard various things. But this is the first time you've ever served someone drawn to the Spirit's world."

"Yeah, really?!?

Apparently, what we did was unprecedented.

When that happens, even old Sleighsta doesn't have the knowledge?

"Kuck. That's a quick one. My wisdom is not impossible."

"Oh wow! You know everything."

"I don't know anything. Know... No, I don't know what to say."

I don't know, but leave that alone.

Me, Yun and Lynn listened to Old Sleighsta's wisdom.

"One is the same answer you have. If only we could all help."

"But that'll take a while"

"You're left-handed. This is the best solution in the long run, but you asked me for a different answer."

"Yes."

"Then there is another way. You have summoned them in multitudes. Then you can increase the number of people to bear. It will be easier to maintain each and every one of them"

"You had that way. But..."

Currently, I bear the power with me and my wives, and with Priscia and Spirit Tree and Ares.

Increase the number of those who bear it. That would certainly make it easier for each and every one of us.

But I don't like that.

When I saw it, the Mistrals stopped and looked at me. Everyone had a rejective look.

It's not about your exclusive appetite for Mr. Yun and Mr. Lynn or anything like that.

Perhaps there is a strong desire to avoid interference from outside the body.

Well, if Niemia comes back, I'll ask her, too, which is acceptable.

Hmm. Is this selfish?

You are searching for cheap ways, but I do not think that the proposed solution is acceptable.

Nevertheless, I wanted to reject the second proposal indicated by Old Sleighsta.

"That's good. Sometimes they will be taught not to choose the means, but do not err in seeing its' time '. While you can afford to think, think desperately and explore another path."

"Yes."

In the battlefield, we often cannot afford to think carefully. But not now, right?

I followed Old Sleighsta's words and thought carefully.

How can we continue to summon Mr Yun and Mr Lynn?

The biggest problem is that it drains a tremendous amount of power to maintain two great entities called wise men.

Even now that I'm just making it manifest, I keep consuming enough power to feel it.

When it comes to having both of us use our power, the drainage becomes even more difficult.

Efficient maintenance. a less burdensome way. That's the problem.

Mmm, and worried, a cheerful voice echoed from the woods of ancient trees surrounding the moss square.

"Good morning."

It's Priscia.

Usually Mistral or someone picks him up to the village, but apparently he found a way to come on his own.

The toddler girl, who came to Moss Square with her hands drawn by the Spirit of Light as a guardian and jumped pimply, played quickly with Ares, who had manifested herself.

In the morning, if you go to Moss Square, there's someone there, I wonder if you're learning. That's for sure, but are you okay with me popping out of the village?

When I get home, I guess my mother will be mad at me again.

When the Spirit of Light delivers her husband, Priscia, to Moss Square, she bows carefully here and begins to thin the outline in an attempt to return.

"Ah."

At that time, the flash turned my head.

"Mr. Spirit of Light, wait a minute -!

The Spirit of Light trembles on my shoulders in my sudden cry. But he stopped returning, and he looked back at me strangely.

"Hey, Mr. Spirit of Light, I have a question for you"

"Yes, may I help you?"

"You know, how did Mr. Spirit of Light maintain his existence before he was used by Priscia?

The Spirit of Light originally lived in a lost forest in the Forbidden Territories.

Long ago, the Spirit of Light, who lived in the Forest of Lost Ears and was a member of the Long Ear Clan, continued to defend the treasure ball of maintaining the art of Lost by himself as his last order.

"I was protecting the treasure, by the spiritual power that was in it. My previous husband used to spiritualize me like that."

"... that means. Could it be okay for the surgeon not to inject his strength each time he summons the Spirit or causes him to exercise his technique? Get ready for Bao-yu or something. If you can pull the force from there..."

"That's a good focus. But would there be a difference between consuming vast amounts of power and accumulating power ahead of time into the treasure balls, and continuing to consume and summon power from time to time? In the end, the power used to summon is the same."

"Well..."

Do you want to consume your strength in advance and build up your strength in the treasure ball? Or do you drain your powers when you summon, or the difference?

It might be good in an emergency, but that's not the answer we're looking for right now.

"Ernea, it's important for both of you, but you have another problem. If we don't go out and play under the Spirit of the Spirit Tree, it's gonna be hard for the people's capital, isn't it?

"It was!

To Mistral's point, I'm annoyed.

I also have a role assigned to me, just as she has an important role to play.

A giant tree of spiritual trees that Old Sleighsta continues to protect dearly. I have to go meet the Spirit King of the Spirit Tree at its root. Otherwise, the king's capital of the kingdom of Arms will be eroded into the forest.

There has been a lot going on here lately and I haven't visited.

Of course, I'm explaining the situation. You shouldn't be alarmed because spirits can show movement beyond our common sense and thinking. So you should go when you can visit.

"You're always busy."

"Oh, my God."

Yun and Lynn are smiling bitterly.

"Yeah. Both of you, I'm sorry. I'll think about the solution next time. And thank you, Spirit of Light."

Hurry up and get ready.

The spirits of the wild carry souvenirs that seem delightful, and think of excuses for spiritual tree spirits...

That's when I had another thought in my head. [M]

Speaking of which...

"Hmm. Apparently, you've found a new path. You can find your way without asking me for an answer. All we have to do is move forward confidently."

"Yes. I'm coming!

When I retrieved Ares from Priscia, I rushed to the back of the woods.
