The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

043. A man and a woman at night (1)

“As expected, the crystal ball is dead.”

Tia sighed as she looked at her crystal ball.

It was the latest (?) model in its own way, but there was no way that the crystal ball would not have been left working even though someone had decided to drop us off.

“Shall we climb up a tree?”

As a descendant of elves, Tia was good at climbing trees.

But it was to no avail.

It was a situation where I couldn’t see well because of the thick fog.

However, Tia managed to climb up the tree. It climbed up the trees one after another with ease.

Of course, there was no answer even after climbing a tree.

“Can you see something?”

Tia shook her head calmly. Soon, she landed lightly on the ground.

“under… . No matter how much you think about it, you look like you’re in distress?”

“One thing is certain.”

“Umm, it’s dark on me too, so I can’t even get a sense of direction.”

Then something landed on my shoulder.

Tia and I looked up at the sky at the same time.

To make matters worse, even raindrops fell.

We had to find a place to shelter from the rain.

“ah… , It’s ruined.”

“Iknow, right. It’s ruined.”

So we wandered through the forest for a while.

Even the crystal ball was dead, so I lost even the sense of time.

My body was drenched from how long I had wandered through the woods.

In terms of experience, it seemed as if they had been walking around the forest in the rain for three or four hours.

“Ethan, look here.”

And finally Tia found the cave. We entered the cave and looked out blankly. The rain was pouring down incessantly.

“Wow… . This is what I found in a few hours.”

“Anyway, I’m glad I found a place to shelter from the rain.”

When I glanced at Tia, she seemed to have lost quite a bit of body heat. I was shaking like a puppy in the rain.

“why? Why are you looking at me like that?”

A dreadful voice was heard. Tia was on her knees.

“Isn’t it cold?”

“it’s okay. I can bear it. What about that one?”

It said it was fine, but it didn’t feel like it was fine at all.

Even his lips were now blue.

The cadet uniform also had a temperature control function, but it was of no use in wet conditions.

“I’m fine with the high level of cold resistance and cold resistance.”

I was fine It wasn’t just high, it was the maximum. At this level, you can sleep comfortably even if you are buried in the snow.

Tia looked at me with surprised eyes.

“Ha, you say you have invulnerability to cold and cold resistance? Oh my gosh… . what the hell are you human? How did a freshman learn to resist cold and cold… ”

Trembling, he continued to speak.

“Ethan, you know what?”

“What?”

“You are a real enigma.”

I turned my gaze to Tia and focused my eyes on the rain outside the cave. Enigmatic was also synonymous with suspicious.

“He was a servant of Sepia, and he was taught by Professor Sylvia, the silver knight… , You can catch two mines in a short time, and every time you go beyond my predictions.”

Tia let out a long sigh.

Blows of breath bloomed inside the cave.

“If you stay as it is, you’ll keep losing your body temperature, right?”

If it hadn’t rained, I would have gotten some dry branches and started a fire. It was impossible, so we had to come up with a solution. The best way is to take off wet clothes.

“It is true… .”

“The only daughter of the Hergé Grand Prize cannot die of hypothermia.”

“I tried to endure it, but I couldn’t. Ethan, I’m sorry, but please turn around.”

I turned around meekly.

There was the sound of wet clothes hitting the skin.

“You cannot look back. I believe it is not such an unscrupulous thing.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll hug you if you feel cold.”

“Oh, no hugs! That’s what lovers do. Please take a good look at the net.”

A voice mingled with bewilderment and annoyance was heard.

Well, from the original story, Tia hated skinship itself.

“All right. I know.”

The sound of dripping water came from behind. It was the sound of water being squeezed out of the cadet uniform.

Originally, there is an event that happens when a man and a woman get wet in a place like this. It is an event where each other leans on each other’s body temperature to survive the night.

But.

Tia was able to summon spirits, and I was invincible.

Suddenly, I felt a warm energy. Tia summoned the fire spirit and began to warm up the inside of the cave. I could tell without looking.

“I called the fire spirit. Calling three will drain your mana quickly, but it’s better than shivering in the cold.”

“Adjust the amount of magic power and use it. If you don’t have magic power in an emergency, it’s difficult.”

“That, I will take care of it.”

A bloody laugh leaked out. It was like mild sepia.

“what? Why are you laughing?”

“I had a good idea.”

“What is it?”

“I can make a contract with your spirit.”

Anyway, I was overflowing with magic power.

So there was no need for Tia to consume magic. In an instant, Tia’s sigh was heard.

“Do you know that spirits are not stupid and contract with anyone?”

“What am I? Should the spirit sensitivity be high? What is it?”

“Even if you are nobody… . That is why contracts with spirits must be highly responsive, and spirits only contract with good-hearted people.”

Alas, that’s right.

Tia’s voice continued to be heard from behind.

“But if you want, I can sell you some lower spirits. Because I can sign a contract again.”

I don’t know why there are really low-level spirits.

I just wondered if it would be better to use low-level magic at that time.

Does it exist for the diversity of jobs?

“uh? Where are you going, Runthar?”

While I was thinking about that, a fire spirit approached me. Red spheres flew around me like fireflies.

―Do you want to make a contract with the spirit?

“Do you want to sign a contract? Yes, I want to sign a contract.”

The fire spirit studied me closely and moved up and down.

It was as if he was nodding his head.

―Tia, would you allow me to sign a contract with this person?

“What? Wait. What do you believe in that you want to sign a contract with him?”

Tia had a panicked voice like the main character who had his childhood friend ntr.

I haven’t looked at the sales angle yet, but I feel sick to my stomach when I look ahead to the sale.

―I can feel pure magical power toward the opponent. You won’t lose money by signing a contract.

“Well, if you do, so be it. After all, now is not the time to cover the hot water with cold water.”

Tia hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

There was nothing to hold back as long as the original contractor gave permission.

The fire spirit absorbed my mana and tried to fulfill the contract.

―I, Runtar, intend to fulfill the contract with the new master. Will you allow me, the lower fire spirit Runthar, to be your spirit?

If possible, I wanted to sign a contract with an intermediate level spirit.

After all, the amount of mana is overflowing.

But right now, like Tia said, she was not in a position to cover her opponent.

If I made a contract with the fire spirit now, I could warm up the surroundings with my magic instead of Tia’s.

“great. Make a contract.”

A red magic circle was engraved in the air.

And the contract with Runthar was concluded.

After completing the contract, Runtar’s appearance slowly changed.

It has the shape of a small human being.

It seemed to be about 1 meter in size. It was an upgrade.

“No way, this is nonsense.”

Even Runtar, who signed a contract with me, seemed surprised.

Now that it was a spirit in the form of a human, it could read its expression.

I also couldn’t understand the current situation.

“Become a high-ranking spirit in one contract! This is the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

The ranks of the spirits are in the order of lower, intermediate, upper, and spirit kings. And the advanced fire spirit is Little Ifrit.

Originally, spirits exert completely different powers depending on the spirits.

Spirits receive mana from spirits to prepare a foothold for growth, and spirits can borrow the power of spirits when needed.

In other words, the Elemental Consul and the Spirit can grow together.

―Not only the amount of magic power itself, but also the condition is very pure! what the hell is this… .

You have to mumble like that… .

I had no desire to tell you why.

“great. Runthar. First, dry my clothes and Tia’s clothes.”

―To use a higher level spirit to dry clothes… .

While grumbling, Runthar created heat to dry his clothes.

I could feel the air around me getting warmer all at once.

-If you want, the rain can stop. Think carefully. Isn’t it a disgrace not only to the spirits but also to the spirits who handle them that higher level spirits dry clothes?

The magic power remaining in the body was sufficient.

However, it was unknown how much magic it would take to stop the rain, and it was impossible to waste magic power recklessly.

You never know when or where an attack will happen.

“Just dry the clothes first.”

“I’m sorry, Runthar… . If possible, could you take the clothes and dry them on Ethan’s side? Even if it’s a spirit, showing your bare body is a bit… .”

-various This is why humans… .

While grumbling, Runthar took Tia’s clothes and came to my side. The surroundings started to warm up.

anyway.

Drying clothes also takes a lot of time.

All the while, I kept my eyes on the outside of the cave.

how much time has passed Suddenly, Tia spoke up.

“there… , Ethan. I have a question.”

“What?”

“Um, so… . Who was the person you met over the weekend? lover? friend? senior?”

Tia asked in a slightly trembling yet elegant voice.

“Did you thank me with a crow again?”

“Oh no! I swear to God, I’ve never done that. Information obtained by chance, so I heard it by accident.”

“okay? But why are you curious about that?”

“I am just curious. What.”

I hesitated for a moment, then replied.

There was no need to misunderstand Vivian for nothing.

“I am a servant of the Lognes family. But who is it?”

“Anya said she saw it by accident.”

“okay?”

“… yes.”

Again the sound of rain replaced the silence.

Suddenly tired, I closed my eyes and rubbed the nape of my neck.

Fatigue was creeping in.

how much time has passed

“Ethan… . Would you like to marry me?”

“What?”

“What am I lacking? The face is beautiful, the body is good, and the family is not inferior. Honestly, don’t you think I’m more precious?”

what. What about this sudden marriage attack?

I was hit by a sudden barrage, and I couldn’t quite figure out what to say.

“… Are you serious?”

“Of course it is a joke. Joke! hahahaha, Ethan has a naive side too.”

“… … ”

“Ethan, it’s okay to look back now. I’m all dressed up.”

Looking back, Tia was already wearing a dry cadet uniform. Runthar had a dissatisfied expression.

However, it was still difficult to go outside. Even when I went out, it was dark outside and it was raining too much.

“excuse me. Ethan.”

“why?”

Tia, who had been silent for a moment, opened her mouth.

“Hergé Sangwon wants you. Any amount of money is negotiable.”

“Tia… .”

“I am listening.”

“I think there are things money can’t buy. Have you ever tried it?”

Tia was silent for a long time.

I wondered if I was saying anything because it seemed like the grass was dead.

Behind her, the only sound she could hear was Tia’s tossing and turning.

“I don’t know. Sleep well. I will sleep now.”

“Okay sleep well. I should sleep too I am tired.”

Of course, Runtar and the spirits were in charge of the vigil.

To say that lower spirits are useless is an understatement.

Come to think of it, I could have set up a night watch like this.
