CH 361

To elves who have the eyes to see Spirits, the Sanctuary was a land of marvel.

「……so many Spirits.」

「……it’s even more than around the World Tree.」

「…………」

From inside the carriage running along the road from the Dejima to the Center of the Sanctuary, Dante and Freesia spoke out in admiration.

That once was a monster nest densely filled with mana was now a purified land overflowing with abundant greenery, and from the Spirit Spring gushed copious pure water.

This was not just a place where existing Spirits gather. It had become the land where new Spirits are born.

Looking at Dante and Freesia-san be surprised at the appearance of the Spirits with a sidelong glance, Darphy desperately concealed the panic by himself.

Darphy realized at this point that he could not hear the Spirits’ voices, much less see their forms.

「(W, what’s going on!? Why is this happening!?)」

Though he was desperate not to show it, cold sweats ran down his back and his body was trembling slightly. Had Dante and Freesia not been in a trance at the spectacle of the Sanctuary, they would have immediately realized Darphy was acting abnormally.

And, he soon realized that the dagger on his chest was missing. That meant that the Spirits were monitoring him.

When he thought that, even without his sword and dagger, he could still launch a surprise attack with magic, he realized that he could not refine the magic power in his body. This was, of course, the result of the Great Spirit Sylph, whom the Sylphid family based their name from, temporarily sealing it, and Darphy who had been forbidden from using magic that could be an Elven trait was unable to calm his panic.

The knights of Yggurle Kingdom, all of whom were elves, were different from other knights as they were more similar to magic swordsmen. Therefore, even a physical ability enhancement becomes a support magic type fighting skill based on manipulation and control of magic power. The current Darphy is appalled to learn that he had fallen to a second rate swordsman.

Despite Darphy’s confusion, the carriage of the Sylphide family passed the section of the Cathedral and the Music Hall which were at a level unseen in this world, so Dante and Freesia were jaw-dropped in amazement upon seeing it.

「……a Spirit Spring by the Spirit Tree…… is this paradise?」

「The Spirit Tree reflected on the spring is too whimsical.」

Eventually arriving at Takumi’s mansion, Dante-san and Freesia-san who were surprised by its size, as well as the dejected Darphy alighted from the carriage.

Those who came out to greet them were Takumi,Sophia, and three others, and upon seeing those three, the visiting Sylphide family all fell to their knees in reverence.



Sylph informed us that Dante-san and Freesia-san’s carriage was entering the central Sanctuary and was soon arriving, so Sophia and I came out to greet them.

「Sophia’s younger brother is trying to do something malicious, so I sealed his magic power slightly.」

「Sylph-sama, my apologies.」

We were informed by Sylph that Darphy-dono was trying to cause trouble, and Sophia apologized to her.

For some reason, Undine, Sylph, and Dryas came out with us to greet them. Wouldn’t Dante-san and Freesia-san be nervous?

「Just in case, he would be unable to do anything with the Spirits watching, and afterwards it would be okay to leave him be.」

Undine and Dryas told me it was going to be fine, but what happened to Darphy-dono that broke him?

「We will not be able to talk if you keep your head down the entire time.」

「That’s right. Besides, it makes us seem self important.」

「Fufu, rest at ease.」

Sylph, Undine, and Dryas talked to Dante-san, Freesia-san, and Darphy-dono who were practically prostrating.

「Y, yes, we are extremely honored to meet the Great Spirits.」

「…………」

Dante-san greeted Sylph and the Great Spirits very tensely, and beside him was Darphy stood unmoving, frozen like a statue.

「Sophia, could you get Mimir-sama to come?」

「Indeed. If Mimir-sama were to act as the buffer for the Great Spirits, Father and Mother might feel slightly more relaxed.」

We somehow managed to guide the Sylphides into the mansion, and the man acting as coachman and the two maids were guided to a separate room.

Sophia left to call Mimir-sama who had recently mostly been staying in the mansion next door.

As a result, the Sylphides’ nervousness only increased.

Now that I think about it, Mimir-sama was Yggurle Kingdom’s princess. I guess it’s only natural to be nervous if you’re in the presence of the princess of your country.

TLN: I think I should specify that I will now be doing a 3-4 schedule for updates. 4 day intervals seem too long and unfair, but I can’t do 3 day intervals either because I am always exhausted, so it will most likely alternate between 3 and 4 days so there are still 2 chapters per week. I hope to have your understanding on this, and if this does not agree with you, I still appreciate all the support you all have shown me up to this point.
