We train to be a genie magician and have a hearty dinner. Sara and the others are getting used to eating with the spirits, smiling as they eat their meals, sharing their meals with Fukuchan and Uri.

The smiling scene makes me smile, but when I think about it calmly, it must be quite an extraordinary sight since no one but me can see the spirits. The food floats up on its own and is being eaten with a crunch. ...... Even though they know that the spirits are eating, Sarah and the others are adapting too quickly, aren't they?

After dinner and a post-dinner break, the sun went down and we were finally on our way to our first real battle ...................

"YEAH! I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Kikka cried so hard that I was surprised. I suggested that she stay at home, and Sara and Marco agreed, but Kikka didn't seem to like it.

It must be scary to be alone in a place like this. I tried to convince her that she would be fine because there was a spirit (Dine) to protect her, but she didn't understand.

Belle, Rain, Tulu, Tamamo, Fukuchan, and Uri were also confused, flying around, not knowing what to do. I don't know what to do when children cry.

By the way, Sylphy, Dine and Dolly are watching from afar with a wry smile. Nomos disappeared the moment he started crying.

Sara and Marco try to persuade him, but their attempts fail as they are drowned out by his increasingly loud cries. However, they were a little relieved that they could speak so loudly. I had thought that she might be physically weak because of her quietness, but it seems that she has the strength.

"I understand. If Kikka can keep her promise, I'll take her with me."

I'm going to cry for a long time at this rate. She's crying so hard I'm afraid she's going to tear her throat out. Perhaps my voice reached her, but gradually her crying became quieter and she looked at me with bright red bloodshot eyes. It hurts my heart to see her look at me like that.

"..................Yakuwaku?"

"Yes. Promise. Sara and Marco are going to fight zombies and skeletons now. You know I can't have Kikka behind me like I always do, right?"

Kikka thought about my words for a moment and nodded her head, sniffling. Whew, one wrong move and Kikka will be crying again. I'm nervous.

"It's dangerous that Sara and Marco can't move freely if something happens. That's why you have to stay with me and away from Sara and Marco while we're out there. Can you bear it?"

I'm depressed to say it myself, but Kikka is not used to me at the moment, and it must be hard for her. I wait nervously for an answer. If she says she's staying at home, it might break my heart. If she hates me that much, it's okay to cry, right?

"...... I can be patient."

After a long silence, Kikka said she could put up with it. I guess she chose to be with me rather than stay at home. ...... I was worried about the long silence, but it was okay. My heart is not torn.

I'm pretty tired before we leave, but I'm going to try to get myself together. When I step outside, I am greeted by a big moon and a sky full of stars. There is no other light at all, so the starry sky is amazing.

Sarah and the others are staring up at the sky. After enjoying the starry sky for a while, I urge Sarah and the others to go outside.

We walk along the dark road. I could have floated a photosphere, but night vision is useful, so I'll leave it on for the sake of gaining it. The moon is bright today, so we'll make it.

Deanne is following along, since she signed the contract. The number of people is growing. Will Dolly and Nomos come with us when they sign on? Definitely quite an overstrength. Maybe it would be better to have the Great Spirit come when we need him. We'll discuss it next time.

"Yuta, they're up ahead. Five zombies.

Finally. We've destroyed a lot of nests near Izumi's house, so the number of nests is getting smaller. Next time I'll ask Sylphy to take us to a place where there are more undead.

"Sara, Marco, if we keep going this way there will be five zombies. Stay calm and crush their heads like I taught you. Kikka, come here."

I held out my hand to Kikka, who approached me slowly, and she held it openly, as if she was scared.

"Master. What is the order in which I should defeat them?"

Sara asks a question. Her voice is a little shaky, but she seems calm.

"Yes, I guess so. It is better to declare that you are going to attack the leftmost one or something so that you don't have to attack the same person. Zombies are slow, so you have plenty of time. Stay calm and follow the practice.

"Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

"I'm in! Sis Sara. I'll attack from the right.

"Okay, I'll attack from the left side. But before we attack, let's declare which zombie we will attack. We attack at the same time at first.

"Okay. Let's go."

Sara and Marco have made up their minds early on, and they quickly decide on a plan and cautiously approach the zombies. Perhaps it was because they had lived in such a harsh environment, but they had a lot of guts and energy.

If it were me, it would take me a few minutes to get into the swing of things. No, when I was a kid, I would have cried as much as Kikka.

As I was watching her, Kikka held my hand tightly. She must be anxious. Her hair is a little bit squishy and a little inappropriate, but she's cute.

Kikka, it's okay. You saw Sara and Marco use magic. Don't worry, the two of them can do it easily."

"...... yeah."

Whoa. Here we go. At first, Sarah and Marco timed their attacks so that they were simultaneous, taking out the zombies on the far left and far right with a single blow.

They calmly attacked the zombies that were aware of the attack and were coming toward them, shouting out loud to make their targets clear. I made sure to point out the target and kill them one by one so that Fukuchan and Uri would be able to recognize them.

Perfect. He swallowed it all too well. This way, there will be no misdirects. Let's have him practice to lower his voice and gesture. As it is now, intelligent demons will lose.

Master, I want to get the magic stone.

Marco came to me for the recovery of the magic stone. ......I'm tempted to refuse, but I guess that's not an option.

I understand. Handle it with care so you don't get hurt."

He hands Marco the knife, and without hesitation, approaches the zombie, plunges the knife into its heart, and retrieves the magic stone. He easily plunges the knife into the heart, as if his mental structure is different from that of the Japanese. I am slightly scared.

Sarah and Marco continue to defeat zombies and skeletons. They started to say that it's a waste to destroy the skeleton's magic stone, and started to destroy all but the magic stone. They are too adaptable, aren't they?

By the way, the magic stone that Sara and the others collected was entrusted to me. They said it was for my tuition and food. You're so loyal. I'll exchange the magic stones Sarah and the others collected for cash and give them to you when you're on your own.

"We've fought a lot. Let's call it a day. How was your first battle?

"I was nervous, but it was no problem because Fuk-chan is great."

"Yeah. Uri took them down so well, so I wasn't scared. I can handle zombies and skeletons. But zombies are hard because of their smell.

Marco was a wolf beastman. Maybe he has a better nose than we do. He frowned in disgust as if he remembered the smell.

"I think the smell could have been prevented by having Fuku-chan create the wind. You should not only attack, but also think about it and try other things. Let's go back."

I ask Sylphy to take me back to the base at once, and after a quick review meeting, I go to bed. Sara and Marco seem to be in high spirits, as if they have realized that they can be strong. I can't sleep if I'm that excited, can I?

By the time we go to the labyrinth city next time, Sara and Marco might be at a pretty good level. Also, Kikka left as soon as Marco came back. It's a little sad.

To celebrate the signing of the contract with Dine, I offered the Great Spirits a keg of ale and went to sleep. They begged me to give them wine as well, but I told them that I would give them three barrels at once after the contract with Dolly was completed tomorrow.

I am no match for him if he drinks six barrels in two days. And Nomos. I know I'm whispering, but I can hear you. Don't whisper to me that if I make a contract with the Great Spirit, I'll be served alcohol. Are you thinking of something dangerous? I'm a little scared, so let's get some sleep. 

**

"Well, Yuta-san... I'm counting on you."

"Okay. All you have to do is put in the dirt, right?"

He nodded and we filled the north block with dirt to sign the contract with Dolly. It is surprisingly easy since the soil is poured directly from the magic bag.

Tulu and Uri help me to clean and level the soil. The scene of Tulu gently instructing Uri is quite amusing. Maybe he feels like a big brother.

However, I'm worried about the number of times Tulu ...... moofs Uli. It's fine that Uli seems to be enjoying being mooed by Tulu, but some people become a bit mentally ill when they become a serious mohurrah.

I don't want him to be the best mohurist in the world, or to overcome any difficulties for the sake of mohurism. If that happens, I would feel responsible for him. I finish putting in the soil, secretly worrying about Tulu's future.

"Dolly. Is this how it's going to be?"

I ask, and Dolly checks the soil.

"It needs a little water. Can you do that for me?"

"Okay. Rain. Can you water it for me?"

When I called out to Rain, who was flying around with Bell, he flew in front of me and squealed with a "squeak. My guess is that he said, "I'll leave it to you.

"Okay, Yuta. Wait a minute. You're forgetting about your sister. Your sister is also a water spirit who made a contract with Yuta. Shh."

Deanne looks at me with a sceptical expression on her face.

".................. I haven't forgotten, but Rain is good enough, so I thought I didn't need to ask Deene, the Great Spirit of Water, to do it for me."

"Really?"

I can't stop looking at him with suspicion. Her cheeks are slightly puffed up and she seems to be in a bad mood.

"It's true. I know that Deanne can finish watering easily, but it would be better for her growth if Rain would do the hard work. Sylphy said that the more you use your power, the easier it is for you to grow."

He looks at Sylphy.

"Yes, that's exactly what you said."

Sylphy affirmed it.

"Hmm. If that's the case, I guess it can't be helped. Certainly a floating spirit or a lower level spirit would be a plus for growth. Okay, Yuta. I'll help you in case of emergencies.

"Oh, yeah. I'm counting on you.

Apparently, he's in a better mood now. Once again, I ask Rain to sprinkle water. The contract is now ready to be signed.
