"So that's how it is … … Elven Academy … …"
Eight-cloud Ink released a sliver of demonic energy and the letter sent by the messenger sprite turned into flames.
Yui raised her head and looked at Eight-cloud Ink curiously.
"Daddy, did you find mommy?"
Rubbing Yui's head, the little girl showed an expression of enjoyment.
"Yeah, I found mommy. After a while, Yui will be able to eat mommy's cooking!"
"Mhmm! Yui is looking forward to it! "
Many years ago, after Rubiah attacked the teaching academy, she used the black market organization "Skeleton Alliance" to search for orphans of the teaching academy that weren't under the control of the Ordesia Empire.
After helping Rubiah find some orphans, Eight-cloud Ink finally received a message from Rubiah.
"It's been three years, Ashina. Wait a little longer, I'll go find you immediately!"
I'm the section break that's about to reunite with you.
"So, why did I follow you here?"
Raising his head to look at the abandoned temple that was covered with vines and plants, the deity sighed.
"Before we complete the contract with the sealed sprite, you naturally have to follow us. Or perhaps you've decided to find your own way back to the academy?"
Claire, who was walking in front, her flame-like twin ponytails swinging back and forth, turned back to glare at the god in dissatisfaction.
"Really, Ashina senior, why did you take in this pervert, bastard, pervert!"
"I'm not a pervert, bastard, or pervert!"
"If you're not a pervert to peek at a sprite bathing, then what is!?"
"I just lost my way and wanted to find water to drink! Who wants to peek at a little girl like you! My interests are very normal, okay? "
Looking at the quarreling couple in front of him, Asuna scratched his face with his fingers and laughed awkwardly.
"Um, Claire, aren't you going to contract a sprite?"
Hearing Ashina's reminder, Claire, who was quarreling with the god, came back to her senses.
"You're right! I was almost delayed by a pervert like you! "
"From what I see, Claire, it's not easy for you to meet a man, so you can't help but feel amorous!"
Although she was Claire's childhood friend, Lynslet would never let go of the opportunity to attack her.
If it was an outsider, they would definitely not believe that their relationship was actually very good.
Then, the two girls who had been quarreling since they were young began to act out their happy daily routine.
"Forget it … I have no other choice …"
Ashina, who felt a headache, walked to Karo's side and played the part of the background with this useless maid.
A gentle breeze blew past. The God on the other side looked at the situation in front of him and instantly went crazy.
What was this group of young ladies trying to do?!
In the end, after arguing for a while, Claire and Linslet finally stopped their daily activities under the influence of a group of fist-sized forest light fairies that suddenly appeared.
"Hmph! Wait until I contract with a new elf, then I'll deal with you! "
Claire turned around, her twin ponytails swinging in a dazzling arc.
Everyone came to the entrance of the temple.
There was a seal placed on this place.
Of course, this kind of seal was not a problem for Claire, who was an excellent elf user.
Although she was a problematic student, Claire's grades in the academy were very good.
It should be said that the students in the crow class were all such "excellent problematic students".
After easily undoing the seal that blocked the entrance, Claire turned around and said to everyone solemnly, "It's going to be more dangerous, you guys should wait outside."
"What kind of joke is this, we've already followed here, how can we not go in?"
Lynslet immediately objected.
Ashina did not say anything and only shook her head firmly.
Claire had no choice but to say to the God, "Hey, pervert over there, you're a man, not an elf user, so you should just stay outside!"
"My name is Kazuhachi Kagami, not a pervert!" The God went crazy again, "Besides, you said it's going to be dangerous, why don't you give up!?"
"I said, I need a powerful elf!"
After saying this, Claire turned around and walked into the temple.
Ashina, Lynslet, and the maid Karo immediately followed.
The deity at the side shrugged and stepped into the temple.
The corridor of the temple was not only dark and damp, it was also filled with an unpleasant moldy smell.
Everyone could not help but frown.
"Fire, illuminate the darkness!"
Claire raised her right hand, and as she chanted an incantation, a ball of fire appeared on her fingertips.
This was the elementary magic of the fire elf's power.
After passing through the long corridor, the five of them came to a dark stone room.
In the middle of the stone room, there was a stone platform, and there was a sword on it.
"Is that the 'Sevelion Sacred Sword' that existed here before the establishment of the academy?"
Ashina asked in a low voice.
"It should be the 'Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword' that was said to have killed Demon King Solomon!" Lynslet nodded.
Demon King Solomon. Legend has it that he was able to command the 72 Spirit Pillars. He was the only male Spirit Envoy in history who brought destruction and terror to the continent.
According to the legends, the Saintess used this Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword to kill Demon King Solomon.
Of course, the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword of legend, the real Severion Sacred Sword was nowhere to be found, but there were many places on the continent that worshipped imitation swords that were made with the appearance of this sword as a template.
In fact, whether it was Claire, Lynslet, or Ashina, they all thought that this sword was an imitation.
But it did not matter whether it was an imitation or not, Claire's goal was the elf sealed in the sword, and not the sword itself.
The sword that was stuck on the stone platform was already wrapped in various plants, and it looked like it had been around for hundreds of years, but the sword body still gave off a cold light, and there was no rust at all.
"There is a powerful elf sealed in this sword!"
Claire walked forward and lightly held the sword hilt.
"I will definitely succeed in forming the contract! Definitely! "
— — -The prideful elf sealed in the ancient Sacred Sword!
— — -Thou shall serve me as the master and form an alliance, then I shall be thy scabbard!
Claire's pink lips fluently spoke the elf language, and the contract ceremony officially began.
"Boom — —!!"
A sudden gust of wind blew in the stone room, and everyone's clothes and hair fluttered in the wind.
The wind grew stronger, and everyone could not even open their eyes.
At the same time, the Sacred Sword that was originally stuck on the stone platform gave off a dazzling light.
"Success!"
Ashina happily shouted.
Seeing this, Claire suppressed the joy in her heart and continued to chant the incantation.
"— — I command thee three times, form an alliance with me! I shall be thy scabbard! "
Then, Claire slowly pulled out the Sacred Sword.
"Well done, Claire!"
Although she usually quarreled with Claire, Lynslet was sincerely happy for her good friend at this time.
The useless maid on the side tilted her head, and her healing smile never seemed to disappear. "Ah ~ Milady also has a time when she's honest!"
Only the deity on the side had a serious expression.
Suddenly, the deity's eyes widened.
"— — Not good!"
As soon as he said that, the ancient runes on the Sacred Sword in Claire's hand gave off a blinding light!
"What!?"
Claire who was shocked by this scene unconsciously let go of the sword hilt.
The Sacred Sword that was let go did not fall back to the ground, but instead flew into the air.
The sword turned around and pointed at Claire!
Then, the Sacred Sword gave off a high-pitched screech!
"Ah — —"
Everyone couldn't help but crouch down and cover their ears, frowning in pain.
Ashina who finally recovered looked in front of her. There, Claire was lying on the ground, covering her ears and not knowing what to do.
Then, the Sacred Sword that was originally floating in the air suddenly gave off another burst of light and stabbed at Claire!
"Claire!!"
Ashina who was so scared that her soul almost left her body couldn't care about anything else for a moment. She pulled out the thin sword at her waist and rushed to Claire's side.
"Senior!!!"
Lynslet behind her saw this and immediately summoned Fenrir.
However, before Fenrir rushed over, the Sacred Sword had already clashed with the thin sword in Ashina's hand!
With just one hit, the thin sword in Ashina's hand shattered into pieces!
The thin sword in Ashina's hand was strengthened by fairy magic, but in front of the Sacred Sword, it was as weak as a child.
Then, the Sacred Sword stabbed down again!
Almost instinctively, Ashina stretched out her right hand.
"— — Proud fairy sealed in the ancient Sacred Sword!"
"— — Thou shalt serve me as Master and form an alliance, then I shall be thy scabbard!"
Just as the contract fairy's incantation was chanted, the Sacred Sword stabbed into Ashina's palm!
The last thing Ashina saw was her own bloody palm.
Then, she felt as if something in her body had been sucked away, and she fainted.
Almost at the same time, in a small city far away at the border of the Ossia Empire.
"Ugh — —!!"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly clutched his chest.
There, the piercing pain made him unable to breathe.
"Dad! Dad! "
Yui saw Eight-cloud Ink in this state and immediately grabbed his sleeve worriedly.
"Phew — —"
After a few breaths, Eight-cloud Ink finally recovered.
"It's okay, Yui!"
"Really? Dad … "
"Haha! Don't worry, Yui. Because I'm about to see Mom, Dad is a little excited. "
"Oh — —"
Although he comforted Yui, Eight-cloud Ink's eyes became gloomy.
