Chapter 9: Bertia(12 Years Old) (3)

“Magic exist… well to be exact it’s borrowing the power of the spirit, you could do something similar to the magic you see in the books. But since the spirits always do as they pleases, it’s a rare case that they would make a contract with anyone. Usually they would just make mimicry of things or turn invisible, even being able to be able to look at their figures are very rare and only happens to a small amount of people. That’s why to prevent needless disorder and also to prevent idiots from catching spirits to be able to use magic, only a small amount of high ranked nobles knew about the existence of a spirit. Oh by the way, marquis nochesse also knew about it.”

Hearing me, bertia stood there and opened her eyes widely.

……… From my point of view, bertia not knowing the existence of the spirits are far more shocking though.

“Hm… but it’s the magic that makes people admires you. How many elements of the spirits would one need to have to be able to do that?”(Cecil)

“Please wait a moment. I , my brain still couldn’t process all of this…”(Bertia)

“Mental interference…… ah. The light attribute spirit should be able to do something similar to that.”(Cecil)

“Errr.. your highness…”(Bertia)

“A higher rank of light spirit would be able to use [Healing light], since that give a holy presence that would cleanse the impurities, it should give people nearby a sense of euphoria. I see now, that’s why when you’re nearby that girl people would be able to feel euphoria endlessly. After a long time, that kind of feelings became a given and you would be extremely terrified if you were to leave her side. That makes people’s reliance to that girl became higher, and even if there are other partner of that girl, they are reluctant to leave her.”(Cecil)

“Wait… Don’t call people as if they are a walking narcotics(ma-yaku).”(Bertia)

“hmm…? It’s not [narcotics] (ma yaku) you know? It’s a [Magic] (maryoku) that could be used by human after they have made a contract with a spirit. Although their effects are also pretty similar.”(Cecil) 10

“NOOOO!! That kind on unrealistic talk, I wouldn’t believe it. In the first place I haven’t even fully believed about magic and spirits, more like it’s impossible to just believe it!”(Bertia)

She shaked her head in a great momentum, I unintentionally leaked a wry smile.

I thought she should have noticed it by now, but it seems like she hasn’t realized it at all

“What are you even saying? You and I have already contracted with a spirit you know?” (Cecil)

“HUH?”(Bertia)

Having no idea on what I’m talking about, she keep looking around for the spirit.

Being dense to this degree…… I’m amazed.

Thus I stood up from my seat and pick up the black fox that has been sleeping around her legs.

“here, this is your contract spirit. It’s a high ranked dark element spirit [Kuro]. Since a contract with a spirit involves giving it a name and offering a blood, this spirit is without a doubt your partner.” (Cecil)

Kuro started using it’s tail to hit my hand as if to say, [Wait, don’t go touching me without permission if you’re not my master]. Kuro then went back to it’s usual position above bertia’s tight.

“Eh? Huh? What are you talking about? Kuro is just a black fox…”(Bertia)

“That is just it’s mimicry. A normal black fox wouldn’t be able to be half floating while posing obediently as a scarf and circle around one neck, and also it couldn’t make people not acknowledged by it’s owner to see it’s true self you know?”(Cecil)

“What… that’s impossible, did kuro even did such a feat?” (Bertia)

Bertia hold up kuro with an up-up away pose and started shaking it back and forth.

Ah kuro started panicking and used its tail to hit her hand, but it seems she didn’t notice it at all.

“……………” Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

From my point of view I really would like to ask [How did you not notice it after all of this time?]

“By the way, zeno is my contracted spirit you know? He is in a sense a hybrid that inherits the spirit king’s blood. His main element is water and it’s secondary element is wind. But if it’s until intermediate level magic, he could use all the other elements. Usually he would use mimicry as my butler so I didn’t allow him to use any magic though.

“T-That’s a lie…”(Bertia)

“Of course it’s a lie”(Cecil)

Although it might be interesting to see her reactions and stayed silent, I don’t want to lie anymore about this matter.

“that is…. But isn’t dark element makes me look like a villainess? “ (Bertia)

“Ah even if it’s dark element, it’s more like the image it brings. A dark spirit would usually be able to interfere with spaces, and it’s an element most suitable for defense.”(Cecil)

“D-defense? It’s such unlike a villainess”(Bertia)

…… first, why don’t we leave aside on what basis are she placing the standard to be villain like.

“But you see having a high ranked dark element’s defense magic, you could cancel out a light spirits interference you know?”

“What do you mean by that?”( Bertia)

“Hm…? In short, if you try your best with kuro, you could almost make the possibility of her making a [reverse harem] to almost 0 percent.” (Cecil)

“EH??”(Bertia)

“It’s great isn’t it, now 2 of the problem has been settled.”(Cecil)

“EHH?”(Bertia)

“Ah, if possible could you please learn magic to a certain degree before you enter the academy? If you discuss with marquis nochesse I’m sure he will give you all the required materials” (Cecil)

Smiling with a feeling of [Do your best], I pat both of her shoulders

“Ehhhhhhhh?!?”(Bertia)

Reacting to the voice that reverberated in the mansion, it didn’t took a few minutes for marquis nochesse to come here.

It was also a few minutes later that marquis Nochesse is baffled on the fact that Bertia had only just noticed that kuro is actually a spirit and let out a heavy sigh.
