After the meeting with the new guildmaster was over, I was about to leave the guild when I was approached by a spiritist who seemed to be employed by the government. He said he was not ready to leave yet.
He said, "How do you do? My name is Floride Barotta, a necromancer in the service of the Kingdom of Chrysoprase. May I have a moment of your time?
He looks like a skinny, serious-looking middle-aged gentleman, but he's not my type. Is it because he has the same atmosphere as the teacher who gave me a lecture in high school? I appreciate it, but that way of being angry is more painful than being yelled at.
In this case, he is a person who has something to do with the country, so I guess it's not nice to say, "I want to go home, see you next time. I understand that much.
Maybe it was a mistake to ask Sylphy to observe the new Guilmouth. Now I only have Dine by my side. ...... I don't doubt her ability, but she's a bit of a natural, so I feel a bit uneasy at times like this.
"Well, my name is Yuta. I can help you a little.
Floating next to Ms. Barotta is a school-age girl in a dress, looking like she's in elementary school. She seems to be very interested in Deanne and is not looking at me at all.
"Thank you very much. We can't talk calmly here, so let's move to a different place. Don't worry, since you don't like closed rooms, I'll show you some place with a calm atmosphere.
Can I follow you to ......? But, come to think of it, other than the inn and Gina's diner, the only thing I know of are the food stalls. Since I can't request a restaurant, I guess I'll just have to go with them.
While I'm being shown around, I'm politely asked questions. They ask me where I'm from, how old I am, etc. But I can't tell them that I'm from another world, so I keep it a secret. I guess there might be a way to find out if I'm from a country where even a random lie would be considered a lie.
Also, when I was concerned about the obviously not-so-serious men in military uniform following me from behind, they told me that they were Mr. Barotta's bodyguards. They are indeed the elite. Military-looking people are escorting us.
"Here we are."
Ms. Barotta led us to a cafe with a relaxed atmosphere. Maybe they have coffee! I get a little excited.
"This store has good tea, I recommend it.
Is this person familiar with the labyrinth city? But tea is recommended. I don't smell any coffee, and they don't seem to have any tools. ...... Coffee is a long shot. The tension that was high will drop in an instant.
I see...what do you recommend?
Ms. Barotta asked for two cups of tea, and after a short wait, the tea was brought. I sipped the tea...... and was surprised at the elegant astringency, sweetness, and above all, the aroma was completely different. This is the taste of a real brewed tea. ...... I'm a bit impressed.
"May I speak with you?"
"What? Yes, you may. What's the story?"
I'm a bit swooning over the tea. I'd like to get some tea leaves and tea making tools.
"I know it's a long shot after what you said at the Adventurer's Guild, but are you interested in serving your country, Yuta-dono? If it were up to Yuta, he would be treated quite well."
I knew you were going to say that. You have money and don't have to work in the country.
"As you can see, I have no intention of working in the country."
Half-heartedly refusing a job will not go over well with the people of this world. Refuse clearly with a crisp expression on your face. ......The contracted spirits of Dine and Ms. Barotta are getting along well with each other next to me.
"Oh, really? You are very serious. But my Yuta is also very serious. He's a hard worker and a go-getter. My sister is proud of him.
"Oh, I see. I'm worried about my contractor because he's so serious and takes everything in his stride.
"Oh, I see. But isn't that good for you as a spirit of the earth? Earth spirits like serious people a lot."
"Ha-ha-ha, no, but I'm sure I don't dislike it."
"Oh no, it's too hot."
...... So, you're a spirit of the earth. I thought all humanoid earth spirits were like dwarves, but there are normal people too. But listening to their conversation makes my head hurt. What is it about Dine in particular that makes her look like a woman?
"I am sorry to hear that. But our country will not give up easily on someone who can defeat the Fire Dragon. Do you have any countermeasures?
Oops, I should focus on this. You sound seriously disappointed. If it were me, I'd be nervous about someone who might be better than me coming into my office, but not this guy. He seems to be a serious person.
"The only thing I can do is to refuse and run away. The rest is up to the Adventurers' Guild.
"I see. ...... I don't like to say this, but I must confess that I am afraid of Yuta-dono."
I was suddenly told with a serious face that I'm scared.
"You don't remember doing anything to scare me?"
Ms. Barotta shook her head from side to side and began to speak.
"The presence of Yuta-dono and my contracted spirits are completely different. That is to say, our powers are overwhelmingly different. My contracted spirits have tremendous power, but compared to Yuta-dono's two contracted spirits, they are incomparably weaker. I am afraid that this power will be directed to this country.
The difference in presence. I don't really know what presence is, because I look normal. And you think there are two contracted spirits. ...... How would you feel if I told you that I have a contract with another great spirit of the same class? They're going to think it's too dangerous. ...... Or maybe they already have.
"As for me, I don't think I'm going to sell out the country myself. I think I will run away because it is too much trouble. However, if you cause trouble around me with your power or your evil ways, ...... I don't know what I will do, so could you please report me as such?"
This is a complete threat, but if you are dealing with the government, you might as well say something like this. Even the best country may have a dark side inside, so we can't be too careful. It makes them seem more dangerous, but it is better than letting them get their hands on you.
"...... understand. I'll keep you informed, but you can't fight against the dark side with a necromancer whose chanting takes a long time. You should refrain from provocative behavior. It would be better not to give such advice, but in Yuta's case, I am afraid of making a half-hearted mistake, so I will give it. Please be careful and do not run out of control.
This person also thinks that the genie moves by chanting, doesn't he? He seems to be concerned and I would like to give him some advice, but it is dangerous for a man who serves his country.
But I think it's safe to say that a medium level spirit can do a lot of things with a will and realize that it can communicate with us. I wonder if those who serve the country are prestigious and have a long history, or if they are stuck in the ways of the past like Mel's place.
"I think they are well protected, but I will be more careful. Thank you for your advice.
It's never good to let one's guard down, and we should always have one of the Great Spirits by our side while we are in the labyrinth city.
"No, it is necessary to keep Yuta's power away from this country.
They fear us terribly. Probably because they know well the power of the middle class spirits, they are afraid of the power of the higher class spirits.
I'll be careful. If there's nothing else to talk about, I'd like to go home now, if you don't mind.
If possible, I'd like to part ways with you just like that. If it's the way it is now, we can end this safely and without trouble.
"I see. ...... I wanted to hear what Yuta had to say, but I don't have time."
I have time, but I'm afraid I'm going to talk too much, so let's get the hell out of here. I'm also concerned about the excitement between Dine and the middle class spirit child.
"I'm sorry, but I have other plans, so I'll leave you to it."
I see. Please do not lose your temper.
You were reminded one last time. Do they really have that little faith in you? ......I remember when I filled the guild with plants and stuff like that. Knowing that makes me nervous.
When I tried to pay for the tea, Ms. Barotta paid for mine first. She said it was only natural that I should pay since I had invited her to the conversation.
I leave Ms. Barotta and walk back to Marie's villa to talk to Dine.
(It seems that you became friends with a girl who is a spirit of the earth, what kind of girl was she? Come to think of it, I haven't even said hello to you. I don't even know your name.)
"Hmmm, she was a pretty girl. And she doesn't have a name. She says she made a contract in a ceremony, not by naming. It's easier to make a contract by naming, but it looks better, so ritual contracts have become the norm.
...... Hmmm, Meral does have a name. She said she evolved into a mid-level spirit in the previous generation, so did she contract in a non-mainstream way? But isn't it inconvenient not to have a name?
(Didn't they ask you for a name or help with communication?)
"They didn't ask me to do that!"
Dine answers cheerfully, perhaps in a good mood now that she has made friends with a new spirit.
（I see. (I see that you like the contractor, so I thought I'd like to get to know you better.)
As I tilted my head in doubt, Dine explained to me.
"Little ones like Belle and the others are very curious and they are happy to have a deep relationship with their contractors, but spirits who have been with them for a certain amount of time don't get that involved even if they like them. Well, there are some who are overprotective like Meral. ......"
(Was Meraru the odd one out? That makes a little more sense.)
"And he said that the distance between us is just right. If we were too close, I would be sad to say goodbye."
Well, there are many kinds of spirits. And of course, humans die earlier than spirits, so those who are left behind must be sad. Meral looked sad when she talked about her predecessors.
（I guess it's a good thing that you all signed up with me.)
"Hmm, in Yuta's case it's a little different because he can see, talk, and touch people completely, but it's impossible for a great spirit to make a contract with a person. That's why Yuta is so great. I think it is safe to build bigger springs and ponds in the land of the dead, my sister thinks.
...... I feel like the flow of the story has changed abruptly. Is he now saying he wants more watering holes? It seems that Dine has many plans for the watering hole, and she thought now was the right time to introduce various plans to us.
It was kind of a sad story about the passage of time between the genie and the genie until the middle of the story. ...... Did you change the story out of concern for the genie? In Deene's case, it is difficult to say, because she may be a natural. But what I do know is that she is not joking about the plan she is talking about, but she really wants to make it happen.
I'd like to fulfill your request as much as possible, but I don't want a waterfall in my house. I managed to get back to Marie's other house, distracting myself from Dine's plan.
I didn't expect it to be harder to hear about Deanne's plan than to talk to the new Guilmouth and the necromancer who serves the country.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

It's easier to make a contract by naming, but it looks better, so ritual contracts have become the norm....... Hmmm, Meral does have a name. She said she evolved into a mid-level spirit in the previous generation, so did she contract in a non-mainstream way?But isn't it inconvenient not to have a name?Didn't they ask you for a name or help with communication?"They didn't ask me to do that!"Dine answers cheerfully, perhaps in a good mood now that she has made friends with a new spirit.I see. I see that you like the contractor, so I thought I'd like to get to know you better.As I tilted my head in doubt, Dine explained to me."Little ones like Belle and the others are very curious and they are happy to have a deep relationship with their contractors, but spirits who have been with them for a certain amount of time don't get that involved even if they like them. Well, there are some who are overprotective like Meral. ......"Was Meraru the odd one out? That makes a little more sense."And he said that the distance between us is just right. If we were too close, I would be sad to say goodbye."Well, there are many kinds of spirits. And of course, humans die earlier than spirits, so those who are left behind must be sad. Meral looked sad when she talked about her predecessors.I guess it's a good thing that you all signed up with me."Hmm, in Yuta's case it's a little different because he can see, talk, and touch people completely, but it's impossible for a great spirit to make a contract with a person. That's why Yuta is so great. I think it is safe to build bigger springs and ponds in the land of the dead, my sister thinks....... I feel like the flow of the story has changed abruptly. Is he now saying he wants more watering holes?It seems that Dine has many plans for the watering hole, and she thought now was the right time to introduce various plans to us.It was kind of a sad story about the passage of time between the genie and the genie until the middle of the story. ...... Did you change the story out of concern for the genie?In Deene's case, it is difficult to say, because she may be a natural. But what I do know is that she is not joking about the plan she is talking about, but she really wants to make it happen.I'd like to fulfill your request as much as possible, but I don't want a waterfall in my house. I managed to get back to Marie's other house, distracting myself from Dine's plan.I didn't expect it to be harder to hear about Deanne's plan than to talk to the new Guilmouth and the necromancer who serves the country.
