CH 140

“It looks like I caused a commotion.”

I muttered to myself as I flew over the Elf Village. The elven village was in a state of confusion. I guess so. Because the queen had disappeared without saying a word. But I ignored all of that and went through the window into the first office where I jumped out from.

“Tiya, hurry up and prepare the high elixir.”

“Understood…”

“Judy, prepare to hold a High-level spirit meeting.”

“Roger that.”

When I entered the office, I saw my two aides: Tiya, a relaxed loli with black and silver twin-tails and Judy, a slender model with short red and black hair and the spirits who had contracted with them. Of course, I was convinced that they would be here, which is why I came here first.

By the way, as the name suggests, the high-level spirits meeting is a meeting held only by those who are recognized as one serving among those who have contracts with high spirits. This meeting is held when there’s something that concerns the entire village of elves. Of course, it’s also held when using high elixirs and other items that can only be obtained a few times a year.

I then gave the two of them instructions and moved to my bedroom, which had the most luxurious bedding at a speed that didn’t seem possible in the castle.

“Fu…”

I cleaned the bedding to the point where not even an invisible creature could be seen and then carefully laid Zeros-sama down on the bed.

“I brought the high elixir.”

Then Tiya arrived at the right moment. Tiya knew where I had moved to, so I asked her to fetch the high elixir for me.

“Thank you.”

After thanking Tiya, I poured the High Elixir over Zeros-sama’s body. Then, with a swooshing …… sound, his right arm regenerated, emitting smoke.

“This person is…?”

“Yes…”

I’m sure that these two people, who’re a part of my entourage, know that the person I’m holding is Zeros, who has a contract with the Spirit King, because I’m in such a panic. They seem to want to know more about the situation as soon as possible, but they don’t ask anything because they know it will be discussed at the top level spirit meeting later on. That’s very good.

After a few minutes of the four of us, including the spirits, watching Zeros’s sleeping face, Judy came into the room.

“We can begin the top level spirit meeting right now.”

“Thank you. I’m coming.”

We gave almost half of our magic power to the spirits and then headed for the meeting place. Of course, we left the spirits behind as Zeros-sama’s bodyguards. With these three spirits, there would be no problem even if that monster came. In addition, my Nei would be able to tell the two spirits what happened.

“Sorry for the rush.”

When we arrived at the meeting place, all nine members had already gathered. There are no fixed seats, but everyone always sits in the same seat. Well, they were standing until I sat down. I sat at the far end of the long desk, while Tiya and Judy sat diagonally in front of me. Seeing this, the others sat down in order, starting from the side of Tiya and Judy.

“Can you please explain to us why you were no longer here?”

“Yes, of course.”

The oldest person in the group, who had a contract with an earth spirit, said so. I still haven’t forgiven this old man and the others for driving the child of darkness out of our village. I opposed it with all my might. But since I did not have as much authority as I do now, my opinion was ignored.

By the way, this meeting was not held because of the use of high elixir or anything. It was a hurried meeting and everyone seemed to understand that it was an emergency. The space is filled with an indescribable sense of tension.

“I’ll start with the conclusion. We’ve taken into custody a boy who has a contract with the Spirit King.”

“”What?””

Except for three of us, plus one other person, they all began to make a fuss. The three of us knew what was going on, so we didn’t make a fuss. One of the pluses was the water child who had only recently been able to spirit descend, so she didn’t even know that there was a person who had a contract with the Spirit King. She was not able to follow the conversation and was puzzled. By the way, we elves call our subordinates by the attribute of the spirit with which they have a contract with.

“Can I ask you one question first?”

“Go ahead.”

As if to interrupt the noise, a male wind-child spoke up this time. He was very polite and I liked him.

“What do you mean by “protected”?”

“It means exactly what it says. He was dying, so I went to save him. I also used the high elixir to heal his wounds.”

Then the noise started again. ‘He has a contract with the Spirit King and he almost died?’ And ‘was he injured enough to need the High Elixir?’ And so on. …… If this is the case, it would have been better to talk about it in order instead of starting from the conclusion because I want to get to Zeros-sama as soon as possible.
