78 – Chapter 28. Elemental Delivery Erif – 1

Ding-Dong-Dang-Dong-

“Test time has ended. Please submit the completed spirit beads. Don’t forget to write your name down.”

“Whoa.”

According to the teacher’s words, I put my name on the spirit ball, a kind of magic item in my hand.

Now that it has been almost a year since I came to this world, my speaking, reading and writing skills have grown to the level of a native Selmeyer.

I admired the name written in the wonderful cursive style, submitted the spirit bead, grabbed my bag, and left the classroom.

“It’s over!”

In the hallway, children who had completed their final exams and practical exams were running all over the place.

The teachers were grinding their teeth because they couldn’t catch them because they were each holding a test paper or an assignment.

Students who saw it deliberately wandered around the area as if to sneak a hold of it.

You idiots.

As long as the teachers looked at the nameplate, you were deducted points.

While I was looking around to see how I could not make it quiet because I was so mad, a suitable person caught my eye.

“Can I listen for you?”

Terahan teacher, who is in charge of the warrior class and possesses a formidable muscle.

I picked up the test paper he was holding instead.

Because I was the teacher who taught the warrior major class in the first semester, he recognized me right away.

“Thank you, Erif. Please move it to the office on the first floor.”

The teacher grinned, and then she frantically pursued the students as they ran away.

“The guys running there! Just run away or get caught!”

If you say that, you should neither run away nor be caught. Does that mean you have to fight back and win confidently?

Will that be possible against that muscle monster?

I prayed for the well-being of the guys who had just run.

“It’s a tea.”

For me, the test paper was quite heavy, so it was harder than I thought.

I don’t usually carry test papers to students because of problems with replacement or post-correction, but I had nothing to do with the papers I’m holding.

Besides, everyone knows that I can’t do anything suspicious because I get a lot of attention in a hallway with lots of eyes.

Actually, I was only helping the teacher with pure intentions.

A little bit of chastity for those who mess around in the hallway.

After bringing the test papers to the 1st floor classroom, I headed to the classroom with an open mind.

“Hello Erif. Did you do well on the exam?”

“You managed to cus… Enough to throw it in the headmaster’s face.”

“Huh? What?”

“I saw you moderately well.”

The ‘throwing the test paper at the face of Curst’, which was supposed to be performed every day after the exam, failed when trying to execute it during the midterm exam in the second semester.

You have to bring the guard who was guarding the door so that you can enter and exit.

I found out later that I was enjoying the privilege of being single.

“Who will be number one this time?”

“Isn’t that Cermia?”

“I was in second place last time.”

“Well. I don’t know about the top-level s*xual fights. It’s like a story from another country.”

Shane and her twins giggled at my words.

They also got decent grades, but they weren’t the best students in the same grade as Cermia.

“Because it’s from another country, is there anyone overseas or going on vacation this winter?”

Her twins got the story Shane suddenly brought up.

“We go to Chromium every vacation.”

“Most of my relatives live there.”

We nodded in admiration at the twins’ words.

Chromanium, which has a vague image of the strongest on the continent across the sea, was inevitably the envy of the military academy students who are likely to be engaged in the military in the future.

I’ve heard that 4th graders don’t always fall out as candidates for school trips.

As if unwilling to lose to her twin, Shane muttered her words out.

“I am going to visit Canael with Kariya.”

“Are you two going?”

“Yes. Originally Canael was only going to go with her father, but she… …. Know?”

Shane blinked slightly at Zermia and me.

Her boy winks.

It’s disgusting, you bastard.

She gently pushed Shane’s forehead with her finger, then turned her gaze away, and her eyes met Chermia’s.

Chermia was staring at me.

The winner of the snowball fight that started unexpectedly was Chermia.

My eyes are stiff because I had trouble sleeping because of the fortress exam.

As she was about to rub her eyes, Chermia grabbed her arm.

“Erif.”

“Huh?”

“Are you going to do that again?”

“Something like that?”

“That spirit… ….”

Chermia did not speak her words and looked around her.

I also have twins, so I must be cautious about talking about the spirit world.

Chermia is biting her lip with a desperate expression.

Her hand trembled as she grabbed my arm, and she took it with her opposite hand.

“I won’t.”

Because I don’t have any plans yet.

“…… Okay?”

Looking at her distrustful eyes, I wondered if I could keep my word.

After her vacation, she said goodbye to her friends.

It was simply meant to have a good vacation, but there were also friends with special circumstances.

Some of my friends couldn’t go on to higher education due to poor grades or some conditions.

Some of her friends, who already knew her fate, had mixed expressions on their faces.

They had to leave the school completely by packing all their belongings in the dormitory in the form of a transfer on the day of the vacation.

We didn’t cry even after we lost our close friends for a year.

Soldiers did not shed tears when they let their comrades go.

With just one handshake and one hug, I saw them off as they left to find a new path.

We, who have matured quite a bit over the past year, were gradually becoming more like soldiers.

“Erif. Call me right away if you need something. Count Seine is always ready to help you.”

“Don’t worry. Our house isn’t that easy either.”

“Oh, I did. Cruel Duke.”

Cermia sometimes forgets that I am a member of the duke family.

Although she wasn’t mistaken because she was actually an outsider who was not related by blood.

“Then I’ll see you before school starts.”

“Yes.”

As soon as her vacation was over, Chermia, far away from her home, returned to her hometown with her luggage she had already packed.

I decided to go back together after waiting for Armion ‘Teacher’ to take care of the rest of the vacation.

She said that during the war she could be hired as a teacher because she worked as an instructor, but the administrative side seemed to be slow.

Then, shall we take a break until Armion’s work is finished?

While checking to see if anything was missing from her luggage, a note came out of her notebook and caught her eye.

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, she has a business to go to Canael.

I half-forced her little one to take her note, but she promised to deliver it.

I put her notes in the notebook and took her luggage.

One large suitcase she brought with her when she came here.

The empty bag was too light.

Is it because she took all her clothes off?

These days, clothes are getting smaller and smaller, so most of them are difficult to wear, so the clothes that are in the closet will be disposed of separately later.

I’m getting a little bigger too.

Come to think of it, Arumanan, who knows my original form, said that I was a little younger.

Looking back on her memory, it seems that she was right, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

The memory that came to mind after meeting Arumanan was a bit unstable, so it was difficult to distinguish which happened first, and the name or face of the person with whom he was talking could not be clearly remembered.

Besides, it was mostly memories of flying around on the battlefield, so I had no way of knowing whether my height had increased or decreased.

Anyway, the current me was growing little by little.

“This is dirty.”

When I unbuttoned one of the shirt’s buttons and pulled the front hem slightly, I saw a flat body that was hard to find curves.

I just sighed naturally at the line that went down flat along the skeleton.

Well, how about it?

I am neither a man nor a woman, but a humanoid spirit.

If the body has a lot of curvature, it will only interfere with flying.

As I was sitting on the bed with my clothes neatly dressed again, the communicator rang.

“Armion?”

“Erif. Shall we go home?”

“Yes.”

I left the room with my suitcase.

I closed the door after staring at the dusty room for a while.

After passing through the quiet hallways and greeting acquaintances, I headed to the parking lot behind the dormitory.

Armion leaned against the car and loaded her suitcase into the luggage compartment.

For Armion, it’s possible to hire a driver for money or social status, but I like to ride something because I’m afraid someone is not a tram driver.

It’s not uncomfortable for me to drive Armion, but it’s good.

“Where do you want to go on winter vacation?”

Armion, who was driving, glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

“I want to go to Canael.”

“Hmm? It’s a sudden overseas trip. The difficulty is a little high.”

Suddenly, what kind of difficulty is Taryeong?

“Why? I also went there last summer vacation.”

“Ah, what are you going to do this time again?”

“Yes.”

Armion just drove without a word for a while.

His behavior was a bit strange, so looking back, I could guess why Armion had brought up his words.

“Did you ever go out to play?”

“Uh… …. Right.”

Armion coughed and scratched the back of his head.

“What is it? First of all, I am your stepfather. I wanted to do something like a father, but it’s not easy.”

I wasn’t an idiot at this point to say that it wasn’t necessary or that it was annoying.

Once again, I was grateful that Armion treated me as a human being.

When I just came here, I thought that Armion and Kirst were human beings of the same kind, but looking back, Armion never treated me badly.

“Then let’s go play somewhere after going to Canael. Bring Kaon and Kress with you.”

Armion was startled by my words and smiled.

“Yes. OK.”

Canaelo’s letter delivery and family trip with undetermined destination.

This winter seems to be a bit busy.

It was no exaggeration to say that Canael’s territory was located on the entire continent.

Even though it was an area of about one city or a village, the Canael Kingdom was influencing each continent by protecting them all based on its strong air force.

Bubugundo (浮游群島), the mainland of the kingdom, is said to be classified as an island where foreigners are free to visit, an island where people with a clear identity can enter and exit, and an island where even natives cannot enter.

“So, if you have to classify the 3rd Floating Island you are going to, it is the last place.”

I was drinking tea alone with Arumanan on the high terrace of Jafir Castle.

If Zafir in summer was a tourist city in a cool southern country, Zafir in winter was a calm and quiet coastal town.

I took a sip of tea while watching the white snow melt in the chilly blue sea.

“Then I won’t be able to go either.”

“Well. Well. The reasons for access control are different. 3 Times wealthy……. Why was access to that place restricted?”

Arumanan rang the bell to call the servants, and then asked them to call the secretary.

The young secretary, who appeared to be a resourceful young woman, looked at me with wide-eyed eyes and immediately changed her expression as if nothing had happened and listened to Aruma Nan’s words.

“You are talking about the third wealth. I’ll find out right away.”

“Please.”

After the secretary stepped down, we talked for a while, reminiscing about the past.

Aruma Nan When she talked about this, that scene came to mind in her memory, and all she did was jot back and forth with a feeling of ‘It was then’, but nonetheless, she talked happily after a long time.

Besides, I was able to unintentionally bring back memories that were helpful in some battles.

I picked out useful weapons from my memory and wrote them down in my notebook.

After a while, the secretary returned and handed Arumanan a piece of paper.

“Sir. As a result of the investigation, it is said that there is an agent on Floating Island 3 who came in contact with the token.”

I don’t think I’m an outsider, and I’m talking about it as a secret.

“Oh, that agent. We need to act quickly, how is the progress?”

“As a result of identifying the people around me, my parents have already passed away and I have been staying abroad for a long time, so I have few acquaintances. The people I’m currently in contact with are probably… ….”

The secretary suddenly looked at me.

“I think it might be on Selmeyer’s side.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly, the story of our country came out and I was a little perplexed.

Huh? Wait a minute.

According to the secretary’s words, it could be said that a Canaelite who had lived in Selmeyer for a long time came into contact with the token.

And it was very likely that that person was the mother of the sister I was looking for.

“If he…… ?”

The secretary glanced at Aruma Nan, and Aruma Nan nodded her head.

After the boss’s permission was granted, the secretary opened his mouth.

“In the past, he left Canael and married a Selmeyer and settled there. Because he is an excellent elemental, there was also a problem with the leak of talent. In any case, he returned to Korea after a recent divorce and returned to the military to join the inspection unit.”

Aruma Nan put the paper she was holding down on the table.

I saw a picture of an elegant middle-aged woman with her red hair, with the name ‘Sipiya’ written next to it.

It was a Canaelite notation of the name ‘Sofia’ written in my notebook.

“And I found it on an uninhabited island in Canael’s territory. ‘Mark of the Demon God’.”

Are you a token of the demon?

It was already the third bad match.

“I didn’t know when the tokens would explode, so the agent who was the only elemental contacted me, and that was already a month ago. It is a car that is slowly getting dangerous and we are trying to find a way to rescue it.”

“But there is no one to help her. She was finally thinking of reaching out to the people in Selmeyer for help.”

In other words, the sister’s mother was now trapped in the spirit world.

Unfortunately, it was difficult to find anyone to help her.

She said that not so long ago, she had lived abroad, her two daughters were young, and she was most likely just a housewife or lady in Selmeyer.

She needed someone to reach her and her bond, to be able to enter her spirit realm, and to break her war situation.

“So, Erif. I need your help.”

“Huh? I’ve never met that agent.”

“Are you asked directly by her daughter? Please send me the letter.”

Arumanan pointed to the notebook in my hand. The secretary’s eyes widened in surprise when he picked up the letter from the little boy that was sandwiched between them.

“It might be possible if Erif-sama has a close relationship with that. Dismissal. Can I bring Erif-sama with me?”

“I think it’s good. Erif, are you?”

“I… ….”

I was going to deliver a letter, but a travel shop was opened in the spirit world.

I couldn’t keep my promise to Chermia.

“I have to deliver this letter.”

I came all the way here for that.

“Erif. Come back after work.”

“Yes. I will come soon.”

“Don’t get hurt anywhere. Oh. Before you go to the spirit world, ask Sila about this and that. I’ve never done a token purification before, so the words of a pure spirit would be more helpful.”

“Okay.”

I broke up with Arumanan and got on the airship prepared by Canael.

The Canaelite soldiers glanced at me, but when the secretary who followed me noticed a little, they all turned their heads.

Thanks to her, she was able to call Sila and ask her something.

Come to think of it, I never called for Sila fortress.

It is said that Sila and Tyran are all busy restoring the spirit world.

So I haven’t called for a while, but now I need some help.

“Silah”

[[Haam. Erif. Long time no see.]]

Silla, who appeared while yawning, didn’t look as busy as expected.

[[What is it? Are you going to play?]]

The movement of a foreign element was felt in her left arm.

The element of fire condensed, and then a red snake wrapped around her arm appeared, boasting a hammer-like tail.

“What is tea?”

[[Erif, how are you?]]

Tyran in the form of a snake came out with her twinkling eyes and met hers.

“Aren’t you busy these days?”

[[Yes. All the major buildings have been built, so I have a little more room.]]

“That’s great. It’s been about half a year now.”

She let us take a look later to see how the heap of ruins had been transformed, and asked if there was anything that could be of any help.

Then Tyran slammed her hammer against his head, making her sound as if he had suddenly remembered it.

[[That’s right. Erif. I have prepared something for you.]]

“Oh. What?”

It would be nice if the blacksmith, Tyran, prepared it.

[[[I’ll give it to you in a place where there are no humans.]]

There are too many eyes to see now.

It’s a striking appearance, but with two high-ranking spirits, everyone was looking at me with the eyes of a circus troupe.

She was forced to catch everyone’s attention from one corner of the airship until she eventually reached Floating Island #3.
