Medea (2)

The forest was quiet. Students come from time to time, but that’s also a daytime story.

If you want to fully enjoy the superb view of the northern forest, you should come at night.

Trees erected like bodyguards by the lake where the moon and stars shine through.

The occasional sound of an owl and the smell of grass passing through the tip of the nose are also attractive points of the forest.

In the original story, it was treated as Medea’s secret place.

find out something Now it’s my shelter.

The trees spread out around the cliff area at the northern end welcome outsiders by waving their leaves.

As early autumn has arrived, some trees on the outskirts of the lake are already changing their leaves.

Basically, the forest is dark, but the moon and stars are subtly beating down the lake, so it’s not hard to tell what’s ahead.

And there are things that shine in the dark if not the moon and the stars.

hoo hoo.

The owls are staring at me with their heads turned to the left.

The brown feathers are attractive.

My gaze is directed to a slightly special one among owls.

The guy’s whole body is shining. It looks very different from a normal owl.

A cool breeze brushed past my skin.

Summer and autumn are not yet properly distinguished.

It was also the perfect place to catch a cold because of the temperature difference after wearing thin clothes.

This is especially true of the northern forest.

I came here to take a break, but I don’t think I can.

It’s because of that white owl that’s been staring at me for a while.

If you look at the lake, you can feel your gaze constantly.

However, when he looked at the owl, he noticed it like a ghost and turned away.

I wondered what the hell this was doing, I sighed.

Should I speak first? I can’t even take a break while waiting like this.

While I was thinking about this, the owl finally opened its mouth.

[welcome. In our forest.]

It’s our forest… . I got up and looked straight at the owl.

He no longer avoids my gaze.

[There is a spirit that wants to see you.]

“me?”

The owl nodded without a word. I looked into the owl’s yellow eyes and sighed.

It seems that it is difficult to rest comfortably.

**

A bunch of owls are climbing on the tree.

All the yellow eyes turned to me. I asked the owl to guide me.

“Where are you going?”

[A place where uninvited guests cannot go. You are third among humans.]

“The third?”

I looked around. It is full of sights that you have never seen other than owls.

The warm energy coming up from the forest is something different from mana.

The more you step into the forest, the more strange it feels.

It’s fortunate that Magi is still, but her essential senses respond.

Everyone here is a spirit.

Each of them has a different presence, but everyone watching me is a spirit.

It is unknown why the spirits called me.

Actually, it may be because of my personality, but why didn’t you respond when I first stopped by?

As the owl roars and cries, the forest leaves.

The tree really moved.

Lifting the roots, paving the way for me to move forward.

There is a vacant lot where the trees have gone.

Tick, tick.

A bonfire is illuminating brightly.

In a campfire atmosphere, I sat on a pre-arranged tree stump.

“… … .”

As I sat so quietly, there was silence.

The owls just looked at me and didn’t say anything.

I didn’t see anyone who was going to come.

As the owls’ gaze became accustomed to, something appeared through the trees.

“A wolf?”

The pure white hair is the first thing that catches your eye.

The fur that glows in the moonlight evokes a desire to be touched.

But I endured that desire and swallowed my saliva.

I didn’t know what the existence in front of me was, but the energy I felt was magical.

In addition, it looked dangerous as it exposed its teeth.

Fortunately, he quickly hid his teeth and attached his butt to a tree stump.

I stared at the wolf in front of me.

Blue eyes are impressive. But I don’t know who it is.

You can feel the spirit, but did such a spirit exist?

[Don’t be so nervous. I have no intention of harming you.]

“… … .”

[I’m just curious. What the hell did you do… .]

The wolf paused for a moment and then continued.

[Do you smell the scent of Lennoch?]

I opened my eyes wide and looked at the wolf.

I thought it was unusual, but were you acquainted with Lennock?

“Do you know Lennock?”

[I know. I was the one who allowed him and the Iliad to create a dungeon.]

“… Did you allow me to create dungeons?”

[okay. As an added bonus, I know that you came out of the dungeon with a magic swordsman who inherited Lennok’s will.]

I’ve been in this forest since the days of the Iliad and Lennock.

I also watched Agnes and I enter the dungeon.

I could have expected it to be a powerful spirit even at a glance, but is it the highest-ranking spirit?

I glanced at the wolf.

I don’t know if it’s because of the spirit’s intimidation, but I can feel the momentum rising from his body.

What I am right now is that I can never control it.

[You mean not answering?]

“I came out of Lennock’s dungeon, but can’t I smell Lennok’s scent?”

I thought about it once. in case you want to.

But the wolf snorted and muttered.

[You know me as a fool. It’s been hundreds of years since I’ve seen Lennock, but you don’t think you can tell the difference? It smells very strong to me. The scent of what Lennock’s soul has done.]

It also doesn’t work

I pondered for a while and answered.

“I once had help from Lennock. But what does smelling have to do with you?”

[I heard that you have been helped by Lennock… . Has he disappeared?]

The wolf asked in a slightly sad tone.

is it ok to say this After thinking for a moment, the wolf said.

[I have a personal relationship with Lennock. I won’t do you any harm. I swear by the hierarchy of the highest spirit, Lepero.]

The spirit swears by the hierarchy.

I nodded, knowing the meaning of the oath.

The wolf bowed his head. Apparently, it wasn’t a normal friendship.

‘By the way, it’s enough to swear by hierarchies… .’

The hierarchy of spirits, even the highest-ranking spirits, is quite special.

Because it means that everything they have built up will disappear.

If you do not keep the oath made by the hierarchy, the spirit loses all its power.

It means that you will lose all your memories, strength, and prestige you have accumulated so far and return to being a lower spirit.

So, to bet on a hierarchy was close to never breaking a promise.

The wolf looked at me and said,

[I can see why Lennock chose you. Distinctive yet friendly. It has the power to attract and reject spirits at the same time.]

“What does that mean?”

[It means that the spirits will be led by your body, but they will run away because of the energy in your body.]

because it drinks

I could be sure. There is no reason to refuse if it is not a magician in the first place.

no wait.

“Are the lesser spirits well attached to me?”

[Because it’s low-level. They don’t sense energy properly. I’ll think of mana as just food.]

“… So can’t I make a contract with all but the lesser spirits?”

[Probably so. Even if it’s only me right now, looking into your body, I feel a great sense of rejection.]

This is totally crazy

Was this what it meant to be connected with the trait of being a genius?

Because of his genius trait, he has a body that can attract spirits, but Magi rejects the spirits because of his expiration date… .

I really want to know what the body is doing.

The wolf murmured as he stared at me as I sighed deeply.

[You don’t necessarily have to sign a contract.]

“Are you asking someone else to make a contract with me?”

[Remember that there was also a high elf by your side?]

Those words reminded me of a name I had forgotten.

Christina. He was there too.

I’ve been living like a rat these days, so I forgot.

[It’s not quite enough to sign a contract with me yet, but it seems that you can somehow sign a contract up to a higher level.]

“What should I do?”

[The spirits will gather even if you just stay by your side. After that, the elf will take care of it.]

what. Am I just a bait?

Scratching his head, he looked at the wolf and asked.

“Then why are you telling me this?”

[Because Lennock chose you.]

The wolf’s eyes turned to me. Were the blue eyes so burdensome?

[The air in the forest is not bad these days. It must be that something that shouldn’t be approaching is approaching.]

“You shouldn’t come?”

tilted his head. The forest rejects something.

It was the first story I heard. said the wolf, showing its teeth.

[There is only one existence that this forest rejects.]

Life seeps out of the wolf’s body.

Just imagining it makes me want to kill him.

What the heck are you…?

[Those who have magic. Demons and Demon Kings. And garbage that refuses to be a living thing.]

uh?

Isn’t that totally me?
