On the advice of Nomos, Mel decided to make a contract with a floating spirit of the earth. There were times when he met so many floating spirits that he did not know which one to make a contract with, but he managed to meet the one he wanted to make a contract with.

"Were you in the arts and crafts room with this girl? That's where we met. He was staring intently at the intermediate level spirits who were working on a project. I thought, "I've got to do this!"

Mel happily tells us about his encounter with a floating spirit of soil that he felt was destined for him.

If he was seriously watching the work in the arts and crafts room, it means that he is interested in making things, and he seems to be a good match for Mel, who is the owner of the workshop and plans to try his hand at foundry work.

The arts and crafts room is a facility built for the spirits to have fun, but I never thought it would be useful for Mel's encounter with the floating spirits.

"You have a craftsman's face. ......"

My first impression spilled out of my mouth when I saw the floating spirit of clay that Mel had brought with him.

"Master?"

"No, it's nothing. No, it's nothing...it's more like a contract...the boy doesn't have a name yet, does he? Have you decided on a name?"

Being a floating spirit does not necessarily mean that one does not have an external name, but considering the current state of spiritists, the chances of having an external name are infinitesimally small.

"Heh? A name? ...... Oh, that's right, you need a name to make a contract."

He was so happy to meet the earth spirit with whom he wanted to make a contract that he forgot that he needed a name.

I believe I had explained this to Mel when I trained him as a genie, but he must have been so engrossed in the search that he didn't pay attention to the details.

"Oh, Master?"

Mel looks up at me after a moment of panic, as if she is hanging on to me. I can't have you looking at me like an abandoned puppy dog.

"He's going to be using that name for a long time, so you have to give it some serious thought, Mel.

"Yes, I'll do my best at ......."

Mel looks crushed under the pressure.

I'm not good at naming things either, so I understand Mel's impatience. But as a contractor, naming is something Mel has to work on.

I'm sure he'll be fine. I'm sure the genie will be happy with any name if you think about it seriously.

All the floating spirits were happy to accept the names given by Gina and the others who are afraid of what they will be when they grow up.

Shiba and Huku seem relatively decent, but I wonder what they would think of Uri, Puru, Mame, and ...... if they became great spirits. I think so.

Great genie pull! And then he rose to the top and became the King of Spirits! Is ...... possible?

Well, it's a long way off and I won't be around, so I'll leave it to fate to decide then.

"...... Well, Meral, you'll have to help out, too."

"Uh, yeah, I know."

I asked Meral to help, but she seemed to be a little hesitant, as she was not confident in her naming skills.

It seems like it will take a long time.

...... Mel and the others are preoccupied, and I'll just observe the floating earth spirits that Mel and the others brought with them.

Spirits come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is a person. This one is a human type, like Nomos and Tulu, and probably a dwarf.

Although she is a baby, she is bigger and rounder than other human babies.

His face is the same as ...... our first impression, a craftsman's face.

Her mouth is tight, her eyebrows and eyes are strong-willed.

A dwarf type baby with a tightened expression is ...... cute.

Tulu is a little bit fragile and gentle, but she has a different type of cuteness.

Let's do it! I strongly feel the will to do so.

A dwarf-type floating spirit of earth who is interested in making things.

I see why Mel has not been able to find anyone she wants to contract. It was because of his strong viewpoint as a blacksmith.

As the master of the workshop, Mel was probably subconsciously looking for someone to work with.

In that case, blacksmithing is not suitable for an animal or a baby. The craftsman's face of the floating spirit of the earth must have broken the boundary between the two. Maybe .......

With a craftsman's face, he will probably have an atmosphere similar to Nomos in the future, but hopefully not in a difficult way. 

"...... Do you want to hold this?"

I hand the hammer I bought in the labyrinth city to the floating spirit of the earth who is floating around while looking at Mel and Meraru who are worried.

The floating spirit of the earth may not understand the meaning of the hammer, but I couldn't resist it because it seemed to suit him so well.

What? The floating spirit of the earth accepts the hammer with a questioning voice and a small hand.

At first she looked puzzled, but then she started swinging the hammer up and down with a look of understanding, as if she had seen how to use the hammer in the arts and crafts room.

I knew I was right. He's so cute.

It's not the right size for a baby, so it's unbalanced, but that's what makes it taste good.

Besides, this girl seems to be a craftsman type not only in her face but also in her heart.

She is still a baby and her movements are still awkward, but she is consciously swinging her hammer so that the head is down.

Considering that Belle and other low-level spirits swing handbells at high speed when they are excited, it is amazing that they can think so much at the time of being floating spirits.

Mel is also suffering from the disadvantage of being a female blacksmith at the moment, but if the three of us work together, we may eventually be able to become the best blacksmith in Labyrinth City.

I mean, with Meraru's temperature control and heat source, the mixing and adjustment of the minerals of the floating spirits of the earth, and Mel's talent and effort, I think she could become the best blacksmith in the world.

Well, that blacksmith with the potential to be the best in the world is too worried about his name and is working in mysterious ways with his contract spirits. .......

"Gohan-" "Kew-" "Ohiru-" "Koo-" "I'm hungry!" ......""Au!""

Bell and Sakura, who had been out playing, returned for lunch.

Mel and Meral brought the floating spirit of the earth a while after breakfast, so I guess they must have been worrying about it for about three hours.

The floating spirit of the earth is tired of it and is sleeping with the hammer in its arms.

...... I remember I had a hard time deciding on the names of the Belles, but looking at Mel and the others, I think I decided a little too easily.

I would have spent days thinking about the names of my children.

"Yuta, dinner!"

Belle holds her stomach with both hands and begs for food when she is hungry. No doubt it's adorable, but spirits are never hungry, are they?

Where did you learn that gesture?

Oh, Gina and the others are back. Mel and Meral are too worried, and it would be nice to have lunch to refresh them.

**

"It's decided!"

It seems that the name of the floating earth spirit has finally been decided.

The floating spirit of the earth, who is eating lunch with us and swinging his hammer around again, looks like he's finally ...... decided.

"Well, tell him, Mel. If the floating spirit of the earth receives the name, then we have a contract.

"Yes, yes!"

Well, Merle and Meral were discussing and deciding on the name, so everyone here knows what kind of name they decided on.

Maybe a contract with the floating spirit of the earth has already been made? I can't help but wonder.

But let's not say anything tactless since it's a happy occasion and Belle, Sakura, Fukuchan, Marco and Kikka are excitedly watching the event.

Mel heads for the floating spirit of the earth with Meraru behind her.

"As I introduced myself earlier, my name is Mel, Master's apprentice as a spiritist and blacksmith in the labyrinth city. And over here is the contracted spirit Meral-sama, who is always helping me."

"Umyu."

A floating spirit of earth nodded after hearing Mel's self-introduction. Somehow, I wonder if that floating spirit is imitating someone like Flare.

I nodded my head as if to say, "Yes," but I think I am failing to pronounce it well. Well, he is cute in his own way.

It's so funny to see him trying to be dignified and failing.

"I usually work as a blacksmith in the labyrinth city. I know I won't be able to come here often, but will you still sign a contract with me?"

This time, the floating spirit of earth nodded without making a sound. Is it too much of a stretch to think that he nodded silently because he had failed earlier?

"Your name is Merrill Serio. I got my name from my grandfather, my father, and a little bit from Meral. I look forward to working with you for many years to come."

Mel,Meral,Merrill Serio...... sounds like some kind of triple conjugation. I'm not going to tell you. .......

"Hmm."

Merrill Serio, the floating spirit of the earth, nodded.

"The contract between Mer and Merrill Serio has been concluded. Congratulations, Mel, Meral, and Merrill Serio, and I hope the three of you will get along well and enjoy yourselves from now on."

"Yes!" Yeah, we'll definitely get along.

After the three of them had responded to my words, Mel looked relieved and hugged Merrill Serio gently.

It would have been a peaceful and beautiful covenant ceremony if it had ended like this, but alas, it did not.

For now, they seem to be able to hold back, but Belle, Sakura, Fukuchan and the others are still excited about their new friends signing the contract, and will probably charge at them and make them squirm when their patience runs out.

"Congratulations," "cue," "oiwai," "kuku," and "mede chaiyze!" ......""Hey!""Ho!""Pugyu!""" Wah!"

"Congratulations, Mel!"

"Congratulations, sister Mel!"

"Congratulations, Mel!"

"Congratulations, Mel!"

While I was thinking about this, Belle and Sakura's patience ran out and they charged in, followed by Fukuchan and the others, and Gina and the others followed suit, approaching Mel and the others and plunging into the festival.

I would have joined them, but I don't have the courage to join that crowd.

I'll be like a master and watch them from afar with warm eyes.

"Yuta."

"Yuta-chan."

"Hmm? Ah, Sylphy, Dine. I'm glad the contract went well."

Both Sylphy and Dine seem to be in a good mood with their new friends.

Nomos ran away when the festivities started, but Dolly, If, and Vita are also happy.

Everyone here is happy, and it feels like a very happy world.

"Yes, I'm happy. "Yes, it's very happy... We have to celebrate tonight because it's a very happy occasion, don't we?

...... I'd like to believe that Sylphy and his friends are not in a good mood because they have a banquet to throw.

But, well, congratulations are certainly in order. .......

"Well then, let's all celebrate in a big way today."

If you've got a reason to make a fuss, it's more fun to make a fuss. Toaday's Night is a party and it's FEVER!
