Spirit’s Paradise And The Idle Another World Life

Study

—————–

 

After completing the meeting between Bell and Sara, they decided to start a simple practice.
It seemed that simple things had become unexpected blind spots, and the restriction of information was troublesome.

 

With determination, Marco lightly extended both hands forward and asked a question.

 

“Well, can spirits fly?”

 

Suddenly, Bell and the others gathered to Marco’s right side.
Yeah, because they move around together, it looks like a bun of chaos.
It seems fun, but let’s change it to calling names one by one before asking questions.

 

“Marco, call their names before asking the question.”

 

“Uh, okay.
Well then, Bell-san.
What can the wind spirit do?”

 

Adding “san,” huh? I don’t really mind the spirits, but… If I think about showing respect to the spirits, maybe it’s better to keep it this way.
Let’s observe a little longer like this.

 

“Marco, Bell will have trouble answering if it’s not a question that can be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no.'”

 

“Oh, right.”

 

Is Marco nervous? He doesn’t have a cell phone or anything, so conversing with an unseen person is still difficult.
By the way, Bell is waiting for the next question with excitement.

 

“Well, Bell-san, can you create a big tornado?”

 

Bell moves lightly to the right.
Since it’s the right hand, it means “yes.” But why a tornado?

 

“I can create a tornado.”

 

Bell seems delighted that the conversation has succeeded and spins around happily.

 

“Is the wind spirit strong, Bell-san?”

 

Once again, Bell’s hand moves to the right.
Bell is confident.
And Rain, Turu, and Tamamo seem impatient.
Behind Bell, they’re swaying and saying, “Is it my turn yet? Is it my turn yet?” Especially Tamamo’s wagging tail is cute.

 

“Marco, not just Bell, you can also ask the other spirits questions.
If you have something you want to ask Sara or Kika, go ahead and ask.”

 

Following my words, Sara timidly extends both hands forward and attempts a question.

 

“Rain-san, can you make it rain?”

 

Rain happily moves to Sara’s left hand.
Since it’s the left hand, it means “no.” Well, it seems that making rain is impossible.
She can launch water balls and create something like rain, but strictly speaking, it’s not rain, right?

 

Marco and Sara seemed to understand what they were supposed to do, as they asked various questions to Bell and the others, who happily answered.
It was like watching a play, and it was heartwarming.

 

“It’s surprisingly possible to communicate,” Silphy said impressed.

 

“Yeah, Bell and the others are cooperating because I asked them, but even with spirits that I haven’t contracted with, if I talk to them, they might cooperate in communication, right?”

 

“If they’re interested, they will cooperate.
Both Bell and I were with Yuta even before contracting,” Silphy replied.

 

Come to think of it, that’s true.
If you can sense the presence of spirits, it might be possible to approach them and find someone willing to make a contract.

 

For a while, I observe the state of Bell and Sara while talking to Silphy.
It’s about time.
Let’s move on to the next step.

 

“Bell, Rain, Turu, Tamamo, thank you.
I’m going to explain various things to Sara and the others now, so we’ll end for today.”

 

Bell and the others fly around the room, excited.
This method might be a good stimulation for the spirits as well.

 

“Sara, Marco, Kika, do you have a better understanding of the spirits? Tomorrow, I plan to have you make a contract with a floating spirit, so I’ll explain more details about the spirits.
Please listen carefully.”

 

“Master, are we going to make a contract tomorrow? With a floating spirit?” Kika asked.

 

“Yes, I’ll explain it in detail now.
As for Kika, we’ll wait until your level goes up a bit before making a contract.”

 

They look a bit bewildered, but I hope they’ll be okay.
Well, for now, explaining once and then having them ask questions about what they don’t understand will make things faster.

 

I explain in detail, with Silphy providing additional information about the hierarchy of spirits, the characteristics of each attribute, and their actions in the labyrinth.
Sara and the others made strange faces as they watched me, talking to an unseen entity.
I hope they get used to it soon.

 

“Master, so for now, we’ll make a pact with the floating spirits and learn to communicate with them, right?”

 

“That’s right.
First, let’s have Sara and Marco make pacts with the wind and earth floating spirits.
You should discuss and decide which one is better.”

 

When asked why wind and earth, I explained that they are easy to understand in terms of scouting, defense, and attack.
Silphy told me that water and forest floating spirits would have many limitations in the labyrinth, so we decided to skip them this time.

 

It seems that it’s still challenging to freely produce one’s own attribute as a floating spirit.
Since it’s the first time, I thought about having Sara and the others search for and make a pact with the spirits they feel a connection to, but since we’ll be going to the Land of Death, it would be better to have Silphy bring them.

 

“Well, that’s it for today.
Tomorrow will be quite busy, so do your best.”

 

Well, returning to the Land of Death should be fine since we’ll just fly there.
I sent Sara and the others back to their rooms and decided to rest as well.

———————-

 

“Wow, unlike the forest in the labyrinth, this forest is incredibly lively.”

 

The forest is filled with floating spirits flying around, and perhaps because there are wild beasts and monsters, it gives off a lively impression.

 

“Hehe, there are many spirits in nature, so it might feel noisy to you, Yuta.”

 

There are quite a lot of sounds coming from the forest, but most of them seem to be produced by the spirits.
I can hear sounds coming from all over, but the wild beasts shouldn’t be that careless.

 

I wonder how Sara and the others feel about this? As I looked at them, they seemed exhausted.
Come to think of it, they were initially scared during their first flight but became excited along the way, so it’s natural for them to feel tired.

 

This morning, we had a hearty breakfast and then bought a large amount of food from the recommended stalls in the labyrinth city.
Bell, Rain, Turu, and Tamamo all seemed eager to introduce their recommendations quickly, so they were enthusiastically guiding us, which was quietly exhausting.

It seems like they thoroughly checked not only the area where the stalls were gathered but also the scattered stalls throughout the labyrinth city.
They walked around, saying things like “Let’s go here next” and “Let’s go there next,” and I feel like they’ve become quite familiar with the labyrinth city.
Limited to the stalls, of course.

 

I received various dragon meats from Marie-san.
Dragon steak… I’m so excited! Should I just dive into the Fire Dragon meat right away?

 

Imagining the taste of the meat, I returned to the inn and received ketchup from Torque-san.
Pizza sauce.
Meat sauce.
I asked if we could have a large amount of bread, and when he asked if we could finish it all, I replied that it would be fine because the number of people would increase.

 

It’s not a lie that the Spirits will increase, right? It’s quietly satisfying that they invited us to always stay at this inn whenever we come to the labyrinth city.
From there, we left the labyrinth city and headed to the village to get tomato seedlings.

 

“Master, why are we deviating from the road to go to the village?”

 

It’s not good for education to honestly say that walking there would be slow.

 

“Because it’s faster to fly there.
We’ll deviate from the road so that no one sees us.”

 

“We’re going to fly!”

 

Marco’s face brightened with joy.
That’s right.
It’s a dream to fly in the sky.
But Sara and Kika seem anxious.
Maybe girls are more realistic than romantic.

 

“That’s right.
You can look forward to it.”

 

When I said that, Marco started to fidget.
He seems really excited about it.

 

“Yuta, it’s about time.”

 

At Silphy’s words, I gathered Sara and the others.

 

“Well, we’re going to fly now.
It’ll be absolutely fine, so don’t panic and stay calm.”

 

Silphy enveloped all of us in a cocoon of wind, and our bodies gently floated up.
Marco let out an excited voice, while Sara and Kika expressed fear.
As we gained altitude, Marco’s face, which had been enjoying the experience, gradually turned pale.

 

“M-Master! Are you really sure it’s safe?”

 

Marco was in a flustered state, overwhelmed by anxiety rather than joy.
He approached Sara and Kika, who were screaming, and tried to comfort them.
Although they couldn’t hear his encouraging words, they seemed to realize that the spirits were comforting them, and gradually regained their composure.

 

“Don’t worry, it’ll be okay.
No matter what happens, we won’t fall.
Relax and enjoy the scenery.
Take a deep breath and look around.
It’s a beautiful view,” Ireassured them.

 

The three of them cautiously looked around.
Below them, a carpet of clouds spread out, and they could see the maze-like city shrinking in the gaps.
It was a fantastical sight.

 

Protected by Silphy’s wind cocoon, they could enjoy the scenery in a comfortable state.
Perhaps they had stopped thinking about the unreal scenery, as Sara and the others were simply gazing at the view.

 

We enjoyed a short flight to a nearby village, where we obtained tomato seedlings and a large amount of fresh vegetables.
The village was surrounded by sturdy walls made of rocks, with a robust wooden fence enclosing the fields outside.

 

It seemed to be a preparation against the threats of monsters and wars, but idyllic rural villages might not exist in this other world.
When I asked for vegetables, there was extreme suspicion until I showed money.

 

It would be difficult to have TV programs like staying in the countryside in this world.
Not that there were televisions… Afterwards, we flew again and arrived at the forest recommended by Silphy.
It was quite challenging, so it was understandable that they were exhausted.

 

“Let’s take a short break.”

 

I handed Sara and the others freshly squeezed apple juice, and Bell also came over, sniffing the aroma.
I asked if they wanted to try it, and they nodded, so I gave them the juice.
Huh? Sara and the others were dumbfounded.

 

“What’s wrong?” Iasked.

 

“Oh, Master.
I can sense that Bell and the others are here, but, um, do spirits drink juice?”

 

…Come to think of it, I didn’t explain that part.

 

“Spirits do drink juice and eat food.
When Sara and the others form a contract with a spirit, I can offer them various things to eat and find out their preferences.
It might help you become even closer.”

 

So far, Bell and the others happily eat everything except for bitter things.
Silphy enjoys rare foods and alcohol.
After thinking for a moment, Sara raised her head and looked at me.

 

“Um, Master.
I’ll do my best to study spirit magic, so could you also teach me cooking?”

 

From the moment we met, I had thought that Sara had a refined demeanor.
Something must have happened for her to end up in the slums, but I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to ask.
It seemed like prying into her trauma could make things messy, so I decided to wait until she was willing to talk about it.

 

As for cooking, how would it be? Yuta wondered if it was okay for an amateur who only cooked when he felt like it to teach someone else.
But if Sara could help, cooking would become easier.
He remembered the time he informed her about spaghetti, and her eyes sparkled.
She must have an interest in cooking.

 

“If it’s fine with amateur cooking, we can cook together when we make rice.
However, I think I’ll be busy for a while, so the cooking might have to wait.” 

 

“Yes, understood.
Please teach me when the time comes,” Sara replied, beaming with a smile.
It could also be useful for communication between a master and disciple, so Yuta decided to give it a try.
Now, it was time to finish our break and fulfill our objective.
Bell and the others also seemed bored, after all.
