Episode 5

There are three main ways to make a contract with a shikigami.

The first is to create your own shikigami.

The most preferred method of most exorcists, the strength of a shikigami depends on the materials used to create it and the level of the magician.

‘The advantage is that the contract is convenient and easy to handle, but there is a disadvantage that the process of making it is cumbersome and the level of the overall shikigami is lowered.’

The second method is to summon an existing shikigami and make a contract.

Divine beasts and guardian deities appearing in legends and tales fall into this category, and they often boast as powerful as their reputation.

However, it is not a common method because the number is small, and the contract is difficult, and even if the contract is successful, it is difficult to handle.

‘And last.’

Although it is the most difficult and risky, there is a way to work a yokai and use it as a shikigami.

‘Honestly, ultimately, we should aim for the second and third methods.’

Of course, it’s not easy, but if you don’t do it, you won’t be able to reach the extreme as a shikimist.

“Even so, it would be the first right now.”

In the first place, the hallucination delay characteristic is close to the long-running type, not the complete type.

Although it is possible to sign a shikigami contract regardless of my abilities, it would be difficult to use a powerful entity at this point.

Also, the first method was the most suitable method for my current situation.

‘As long as you have the materials, you can make almost anything, and there is someone who can help you with those materials.’

So now, suddenly, I have come to Seo Ji-an’s mansion.

Just in case, I’ll say it one more time, I’m at Seo Ji-an’s mansion.

“… … .”

“What are you so stupid for? come fast.”

Seo Ji-an’s home located outside the school grounds. The reason I described it as a mansion was simple.

To simply call it a house, it was bigger than I thought.

“There’s no way you can easily bring such dangerous items into the school dormitory in the first place.”

“I heard you can do it if you follow the procedure?”

“I hate it because it’s cumbersome.”

“… … .”

Well, that was honestly welcome. It was true that I needed to meet Seo Ji-an in person at least once, and I was curious about it.

‘It’s Seo Ji-an’s house that wasn’t mentioned in the original, of course I’m curious.’

However, that curiosity quickly disappeared as soon as he entered the house.

“Didn’t you tell me it was home?”

“For me, this is home.”

It’s like looking at the offices of high-ranking executives in the company.

Unknown materials were densely packed in various places, and traces of unorganized work could be seen.

“At first, I was actually living in the dormitory, so I prepared it just because I needed it.”

Clearly, Seo Ji-an was set to spend most of her time on the school grounds. In fact, every night they train in the mountains on the school grounds.

“… … It’s probably safer inside the school than outside.”

Seo Ji-an’s expression, saying that, seemed somewhat complicated.

“Anyway, I saved everything you said. That’s the room over there.”

“It’s fast.”

“… … Who was the one who asked to be rescued quickly?”

Seo Ji-an muttered with a displeased expression. Well, no matter how much a member of the Daejin Industry, it would have been quite cumbersome to obtain these magical materials one by one.

I moved to go to the room that Seo Ji-an had guided me to.

At that moment, my shadow shook slightly. As if sending a warning.

‘… … .’

Sensing something, I stopped and stood in place. Then shrugged and asked Seo Ji-an.

“Who is it?”

Seo Ji-an, who watched the series of processes next to me, sighed abruptly and frowned.

“Because there is a misunderstanding, don’t hide like that.”

Whoops.

“sorry. miss.”

At that moment, for the first time since I fell into this world, I felt a real sense of crisis.

‘Even though I was so close, I didn’t feel any presence at all.’

At least an intermediate level or higher concealment technique. That means he’s quite talented.

Leaving me alone in surprise, the two continued their conversation.

“You said you don’t need to be vigilant.”

“… … Even so, this is my job.”

“Then why don’t you just sit right next to each other?”

I was worried about Seo Ji-an, who was annoyed by leaving her usual cool appearance, but that wasn’t important now.

’emotion.’

‘Level 50?’

Although opinions are divided, within the series called Exorcism, the standard of the strongest is divided based on level 50.

From that point of view, this woman named Yoo Ah-in clearly belonged to the ‘strong’.

‘If you look at the abilities, it’s probably a physical group.’

After unlocking the Illusion Delay trait, my sensing ability has improved beyond compare.

But even so, if Yoo Ah-in’s skill rank was as high as her physical strength, she would not have easily noticed her existence.

‘Perhaps he was trying to think of me.’

Whether you are aware of your existence or not. Or how would you react if you noticed. It seemed to be Yoo Ah-in’s own rite of passage to grasp the least amount of hostility.

“under… … . done. Just stay out until we’re done talking.”

“yes? then!”

Yoo Ah-in looked at me with resentful eyes.

No, even looking at it that way, I haven’t done anything.

When the situation was settled, Seo Ji-an apologized to me with a rare shameful expression.

“… I don’t have a face. It wasn’t a bad idea.”

“it’s okay. I didn’t attack, and I thought it was strange that there were actually no close aides.”

“Even though I told you I was obviously a guest… … . Because I am very suspicious.”

After overcoming the unexpected disturbance, I opened the door again and checked all the prepared ingredients.

No matter where Seo Ji-an’s wealthy characteristics went, there was not a single item of inferior quality at a glance. All are superior.

‘After all, I got a better supporter than I expected.’

Seo Ji-an has already done exactly what I asked twice. If something comes, something must go. Now it was my turn to keep my promise.

“I ask in case you don’t know, have you ever used natural magic other than wind?”

“Of course not. At first, the rest of the series didn’t even know how to drink. Don’t you think it’s weirder who knows everything?”

I nodded. Investing in the series was a waste of time as a result, unless there were any related characteristics.

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll tell you about the drink.”

“I understand. So what should I do from now on?”

To Seo Ji-an, who gave her eyes filled with a bit of anticipation, I smiled and continued.

“First, go to the bathroom and go into the bath.”

“under?”

At those words, Seo Ji-an made a cold face, and Yoo Ah-in, who appeared again from somewhere, pulled out a knife and spoke coldly.

“Are you going to kill me?”

“No, what are you thinking? Of course, there is nothing strange about it.”

It took quite a bit of explanation to convince the two of them properly.

challang.

“Hey, I just came in.”

Not disappointing for its large size, Seo Ji-an’s home had a spacious public bath separated from the living space.

“If you live alone, you don’t need a bath of this size, do you?”

“… … I like it. There is no problem with the management because there are users.”

Seo Ji-an is changing clothes and going into the bath to prevent an unexpected accident.

Of course, there was no such thing as showing bare skin. Because I didn’t think of it like that in the first place.

No matter how public it was, his face was reminded of whether this situation itself was quite shameful.

“If you’re going to start, do it quickly.”

“I’m already doing it.”

tsuzu.

I came up with the recipe in my head and started to unfold it right away.

The first is agglomeration of alcohol for the bath itself.

The second is an active liquor made from the water in the bath.

Finally, the third was the magic of a fairy tale that was activated with Seo Ji-an and the bath at the same time.

Each of them had a different official name, but to explain it in detail, it could be said that it was a process of creating an environment that was easier to adapt to nature.

“🏆”

Seo Ji-an has been using wind-type magic so far, but in fact, Seo Ji-an’s real talent is not that way.

▶Characteristics (5/10)

【Water God (S)】

【Growth Acceleration (B)】

【Daughter of the Wind (B-)】

【Asset Value (B-)】

【Eye of the Hawk (C+)】

‘Well, first of all, there is a characteristic of the wind, so it is inevitable to be mistaken for that.’

But with knowledge of the Exorcism series, I know.

‘After all, natural magic is meaningless without high-ranking characteristics that support it.’

Even the B-minus rank ‘Daughter of the Wind’ characteristic is not enough. It was for this reason that it was called low-efficiency and non-mainstream.

‘But, if it’s S rank or higher, it’s a different story.’

【Water God (S)】

▶Have absolute authority over water-based magic events.

As long as the receiving trait exists, Seo Ji-an has a lot of potential to be able to achieve greatness with natural magic.

“Come on, let’s have a drink here.”

“Is it this simple? A key component is missing here and there. Do you mean self-destruction?”

“No, this is right for you.”

It is arrogant in some ways for humans to treat nature as they please.

For this reason, natural magic places more importance on the division of frames than any other magic.

Otherwise, the caster himself may get angry in return.

‘But, the case of Seo Ji-an is different.’

For a person with S-rank nature characteristics, the plain frame and form are poisonous. Rather, it only leads to the suppression of one’s own strength and potential.

“Feel the flow of water in this state until you are able to perform the magic trick you told me.”

“… … No, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Seo Ji-an created a quiet atmosphere for a moment as if she had caught something.

and.

turn up.

“yes?”

with a plop!

Suddenly, he grabbed me next to me and threw me into the bathtub. It’s a bonus to gently pull you to your side.

‘… What does this mean?’

The jade-colored bob wet with water gave off a subtle scent. The pure white face with water droplets on it seemed alluring for a moment.

I suddenly met Seo Ji-an in front of my nose, and when I looked at her in bewilderment, Seo Ji-an smiled softly.

“It’s not that I don’t really believe it, but it’s the first time I’ve seen such an arrangement.”

“So, if we fail, shall we die together?”

“We won’t go that far with just a test run, but shouldn’t we be held accountable?”

It was a pretty brutal way of thinking. Even so, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

“I am.”

Anyway, the drinks are perfect.

When I did not refuse, Seo Ji-an began to compose the ceremony as it was, as if relieved.

It was the first time I used it, so it took quite a bit of time, but she completed the composition stably and developed it.

“after.”

Then, waves were created.
