The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 7.2
“Dia.”
“Yes, Big Brother Alan.”
“What should I call your spirit beast?”
“Come to think of it, I didn’t ask your name.”
(“Name ? I was just born. I don’t have a name yet.”)
(“Please make one for us.”)
Ohh, Am I the one giving it to you ?
In order to give an example for the guests, I released magical power many times and collected it in my palms. I think they evolved when they ate it amidst the commotion. A gluttonous spirit, indeed.
“Dia, can I have a little talk with the spirits?”
“I’m not sure.”
(“Master’s father ? That’s fine.”)
(“Just don’t aim your sword at me anymore.”)
When my father asked me, Fenrir and the dragon smoothly moved to my sides, and together with a yellow and green glowing orbs, they gently flew around, as if greeting my father’s spirit. It’s a gentle world that heals just by watching it.
“There are so many people gathered here today, right? Are they causing trouble to the spirits? I would like to continue having gatherings like this here, but is it okay ?”
(“Will you listen to our opinions?”)
(“Wonderful, Master’s father is a good person.”)
(“I think everyone is having fun, but you should ask the Spirit King.”)
“Spirit king ?”
“Let’s summon him. If it doesn’t work, we’ll answer.”
Somehow, I’ve got some new information. I wonder if Wiki-kun had that much information. I don’t remember researching about spirits because it was before I started walking.
(“Spirit King, are you here? ”)
As the spirit of Fenrir began walking near the lake, both my father and I followed behind. There were plenty of people behind us, creating a lively atmosphere, but the surface of the lake remained quiet.
(“There’s too many humans, that might be why it’s not working.”)
“Hu’uh. Is there even a possibility ?”
“No, I don’t mind. How many decades has it been since a new spirit beast was born ? Let me hear the wishes of you who have just been born.”
The surface of the lake glowed faintly, and the light rose to the surface. As the light slowly faded, a beautiful man with smoke-blue hair that reached his shoulders appeared on the surface of the lake.
His skin was pale, almost translucent, and his eyes were an icy blue, resembling glass beads. He wore a loose white garment and floated above the lake. His entire body emitted a faint light, giving off a divine aura.
Another handsome man. Moreover, he looks quite close to my original age. However, it’s all so unreal that I don’t feel nervous.
(“Is that child your master?”)
(“That’s right.”)
(“She’s a child with an unusual soul. What’s your name?”)
“It’s Diadora.”
(“I see. Thanks to you, we have gained a new friend. It seems we will come across many more friends in the future.”)
Before I knew it, everything behind me became quiet as the Spirit King appeared. Well, that’s to be expected, isn’t it? Nobody really knows what’s happening. No one knew the Spirit King even existed, right?
The Spirit King, who was attracting attention, squinted his eyes happily as he saw the people gathering on the grassland a little further away and the lights floating around them.?
(“I thought this place had already been forgotten. I’m glad that it has once again become a place for humans and spirits to interact.”)
Despite coming this far mostly on a whim, I feel a little sorry seeing him so pleased. But after all, this is a world where spirits and humans can live together. We should get along, right?
“May I have a word with you ? I’m the Margrave of Verisario, the one who rules this land. I’m also Diadora’s father.”
“Verisario… I wonder how many generations ago it was when I met that man. It feels nostalgic. Let me invite your family. You are welcome to come here.”
Three beautiful women appeared around the Spirit King, radiating light as they moved their hands, causing a table, chairs, and a white screen to appear on the water.
“Rex, go get some snacks.”
“Understood.”
Rex filled a basket with snacks and sandwiches, then handed them to me. So I stepped onto the lake holding them. The color of the lake surface changed from where we were to where the table was set up, so I think we can walk there.
“Dia, wait. Let me carry the basket.”
“Let’s go together.”
He’s being so overprotective. I’m fine, really. But because it can’t be helped, so I handed the basket to Big Brother Chris and walked on the lake surface while holding hands. It feels like being a ninja. It feels like a marble floor when you walk on it.
The area we passed through changed the color back as before, making it impossible for others to come. My spirit beast naturally followed along. In fact, they quickly went to the Spirit King’s side while I’m waiting for Rex. I might be the master, but the Spirit King is obviously more superior than me.
(“Please make yourself comfortable.”)
In the middle of the lake, there was a comfortably-looking beige sofa and a table set with tea and fruits.
“Can he eat human food?”
When Big Brother Chris took out the food from the basket, the Spirit King eagerly reached out with great interest.
(“This is quite delicious.”)
“I’m glad to hear that.”
(“So, what is it that you want to ask? ”)
“Would it be bothersome for many people to come here like today and search for spirits to accompany them? I want to give the opportunity to the knights and the people from the castle as well.”
If possible, I want to give Rex and Brad a chance too. Rex has a wind spirit, but Brad doesn’t have one yet. He said he didn’t train much in magic because he was an assassin, but I think it’s okay to have at least one. We can raise the spirit and increase the magical power from now on.
(“While it could be a problem to do it daily, if that’s not the case, I would prefer to request it myself. We grow and evolve by feeding on human magical power. With more spirit beasts, the magical energy of this land will increase, and the crops will flourish.”)
“We would be very grateful if you could do that. Let’s decide on a day of the week, and I will have the pleasure of visiting.”
(“Please do so. However, you should know that even without coming here, spirits exist in places that are rich in nature. As long as you communicate without harming nature, spirits will respond to your call wherever you are.”)
“Oh. Are there spirits near the imperial palace as well?”
(“That’s not my territory. In this world, each country has a spirit king with different attributes. That means there are four of us. In the southern country, spirits and humans live together in harmony, while in the western country, humans have destroyed the nature where the spirit king lives, resulting in desertification that has become uninhabitable for humans. There are three spirit kings in this country besides me. An earth spirit king lived near the imperial palace, but the empress destroyed the forest. They have now moved to a different dimension, cutting off their ties with humans.”)
“Then, are there no spirits in the forest near the academy?”
“They exist, but they refrain from approaching humans out of respect for the Spirit King.”
That’s why the princes don’t have spirits with them. Environmental destruction in this world is frightening. Desertification is progressing due to the anger of the spirits.
Does that mean the imperial capital is turning into a desert?
If the regions flourish by maintaining a good relationship with the spirits, it could get complicated.
“But we also have to create a place for humans to live. Her Majesty probably didn’t expect this to be a forest where the Spirit King lives.”
(“In that case, you should consult with us before destroying it. There’s no way you don’t know that. Until recently, humans coexisted with us. Why do humans forget so easily? With their short lifespans, they should properly pass down the knowledge to the next generation.”)
You hit the sore spot[1]. That’s difficult for humans.
“What can be done to appease the anger of the Earth Spirit King?”
(“Dunno. If it were you, what would you do to forgive someone who drive your family and home away?”)
“…Maybe I wouldn’t be able to forgive.”
“Father, all we can do is deliver this information. After that, it’s up to Her Majesty and the Spirit King to discuss. We still don’t know how much Her Majesty values the spirits.”
“You’re right. But at the very least, we will continue to live with the spirits in the future. I’m counting on you even in your generation.”
“Of course.”
It is said that the Spirit King of Wind lives in the northern region, and the Spirit King of Fire lives in the eastern region. It seems that after reporting to Her Majesty, the information will be passed on to the nobles who rule the area where the Spirit King is located.
“If the Empress comes to visit this place, can she meet you?”
(“I refuse. Human ranks are irrelevant to us. I will only meet with your family, who govern this region. If it’s a gathering aimed at promoting coexistence between many spirits and humans, I will continue to participate in as many as needed.”)
“I also want to bridge the gap between the Spirit Kings of other regions and the humans who govern those areas…”
(“Hmm. I’ll contact the other Spirit Kings. You guys should take action on the human side.”)
“Um….”
(“Diadora, was it? Thanks to you, humans seem to have remembered how to interact with us. As a token of my gratitude, I shall bestow my blessings upon you.”)
Huh? Isn’t that making me stand out again ? Is it okay?
No, more than that, it seems like he favors me. His face and voice are different from when he talks to Father.
Spirit King, do you also treat young girls with special treatment ?!
“Instead of a blessing, could you meet with the imperial family just once? If they explain about spirits to humans, everyone might change their minds instantly. All the spirits in the country might be able to get along with humans.”
I don’t know how a four-year-old speaks anymore. Who cares, I’ll just pretend I’m a child prodigy.
(“You don’t want the blessing?”)
“Yes.”
(“It’s a blessing of ailment resistance. You’ll become almost immune to poison and sickness.”)
“Ugh… But I want to live in a country with lots of spirit beasts!”
(“I’m taking a liking to you. Let’s meet once more. I’ll also give you my blessing.”)
Yay! With this, I might live longer. But I feel like I’m standing out again!
1. In this part, they’re using ?????(mimi ga itai na), that could mean as an idiom implies when someone’s remarks or criticisms hit your sensitive or weak point, and it is harsh for you to hear that.?
