Chapter 36. Please. Help me
“I will decline.”
Alice’s voice was firm, as if she was cutting herself with a ruler.
Tail was silent for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“Rejection…. You may ask why….”
“No.”
Alice’s answer came out before Tale finished speaking.
She didn’t seem to help for any reason.
However, Tail was not discouraged.
No.
She grinned as if she had expected it.
“Sure. What. Conversely, I will tell you.”
“… Yes?”
Alice frowned slightly.
Before Alice could finish her words, Tails spoke her words first.
Alice trembled at Tail’s words.
“Isn’t that the problem with the spirits not listening to you?”
Alice’s eyes trembled slightly.
“That. How to do that… !”
Yes.
As the princess of the kingdom of Ritte, she has had an overwhelming affinity with spirits since she was born.
Is that so?
She has been able to see all her spirits since she was born.
And during her childhood, she was the youngest to use the power of an intermediate wind spirit.
Since then, everyone has expected.
How great a spirit she can command. All eyes of her kingdom were on her.
However.
‘After that, no spirits listened to Alice.’
She became the only princess in the Ritte Kingdom who couldn’t handle spirits.
Because of that, the prince of the kingdom of Ritte, who had made friends with all the higher-ranking spirits, must have been as sad and anxious as Alice’s child whom she had given to her waterside.
In this way, Alice gradually began to build a wall with the spirits.
A princess who did not receive the protection of the spirits.
Because of that humiliating title, she closed her heart to people.
‘But there was another cause.’
Yerin told me about that story.
Recalling the contents, Tail opened his mouth.
“I will help you to use the power of the spirits again.”
She was shaking.
And at the same time I was alert.
“… How can you, a human, do that?”
“That is a trade secret.”
Tale smiled inwardly.
‘You’re writing the lines Khan said here.’
That guy. Hope you’re doing well
Tails, thinking to himself, added her words.
“Instead, if you make a promise to me, I will be able to use the power of the spirits again.”
Tale chuckled.
“We will also guarantee admission.”
Alice looked impatient at Tail’s words.
‘Maybe my thoughts are complicated.’
Elves are sensitive.
Especially about the feelings of the other person.
That’s why you should have noticed.
That these words are sincere.
“The moment you accept. Let me tell you. A way to use the power of the spirits again.”
After thinking for a while, Alice answered with a sigh.
“… Great. I do. Instead, if that doesn’t work. I will never be alone.”
Tale nodded her head.
“Of course.”
“So. How?”
Tail’s mouth slowly opened.
Alice swallowed her saliva.
A way to summon the spirit again.
There was no way that was possible.
However.
“I feel sorry for my princess.”
“If this is enough, isn’t the princess in trouble?”
“Yeki! Don’t speak disrespectfully!”
“However, there has never been a case in which all the spirits of the kingdom have rejected it!”
People who gossip.
Looking at you.
All of that bothered me.
Sometimes I left the kingdom because it was so suffocating and painful.
Even after leaving the kingdom, the spirits lingered around him.
But strangely, when I tried to use their power, the spirits ran away.
‘This could be my last chance.’
Alice waited for Tail’s words with a pounding heart.
At the same time, Tail’s mouth fell.
He spoke in a sharp tone.
“Be considerate of the spirits.”
And at the words that followed, she was taken aback.
“I am asking for a favor. No orders.”
Do not order, ask a favor?
Alice put on a blank expression.
* * *
The story of Yerin was like this.
Alice, who has become very close with Chloe, tells her about the spirit.
And Chloe picks up a really unexpected place.
Right.
A request to the spirit, not an order.
A spirit is also a living entity.
Each of them has their own thoughts and thoughts, and their values are clear.
What if you gave orders like tools without considering the spirit’s position?
When she thinks that she, who is not even a contractor, treats them badly, her spirits will hate her and leave.
In fact, after that, following Chloe’s advice, Alice said that she could use the power of the spirits.
‘So it’s a sure way.’
Thinking so, Tail was convinced that if he could do it this way, he would be able to use the power of the spirits again.
However, Alice had a slightly different idea.
“Wealth to the spirits…. Do you want me to ask you a favor?”
“Yes.”
Just do it. Please. You can do it. What is the problem?
Alice’s face flushed with shame.
“No. I can’t.”
She clenched her fists.
“How dare the princess of the kingdom of Lyte bow her head?”
No. You just ask the spirit, but does that mean bowing your head?
Certainly Alice was hostile to her own words.
‘According to Yerin, she changed it right away. Why are you insisting that you can’t do it now?’
At the same time, an assumption came into my mind.
‘Ah, maybe…. Is it because the personality of Alice at that time and the personality of Alice now are different?’
Alice, who got close to Chloe and listened to her advice, has already met many people at the academy, and her personality has become rounded.
‘But right now, she has just come out of the position of princess.’
Now, she is just a noble and proud princess.
Tale sighed.
I can’t help it. This is a customized eye-level education.
“Alice. Listen carefully.”
Alice calmed down and said that she couldn’t do tail.
“I just said I want to use Alice-san’s power.”
Alice didn’t answer. She just shoots her tail.
“By the way, if I tell Alice.”
Tail’s voice had bold power.
“I asked for help, would Alice have accepted my offer if I had said it harshly and rudely?”
At the same time, Alice’s face turned red.
It was shame in a different sense.
They must have figured out what Tail was trying to say.
“From my limited knowledge, spirits have thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If you are at least ‘borrowing’ their power, how about asking for a favor?”
Alice couldn’t answer as if her speech was blocked.
Then she opened her mouth with difficulty.
“… I’ll try. Instead.”
Her eyes glared at him savagely.
“If it doesn’t work, I’ll make sure you pay the price properly.”
After she said that, she turned away.
In order to ask the spirit that wanders beside her to make a ‘favor’.
* * *
Because of her obviously strong affinity, there were always many spirits around her.
Especially, the wind spirit.
But not once did they meet Alice’s eyes.
Since she also gave up. She did not approach the spirit first.
And a lot of time passed.
For the first time, she was facing the spirit again.
Alice swallowed her saliva.
In front of her eyes, a small child with white hair, white eyes, and a generally transparent color tilted her head.
Alice knew this spirit well.
Ren, the lower spirit of the wind.
The spirits are given their own names the moment they are born.
And when you sign a contract, you use the new name given by the contractor during the contract.
And this spirit called Ren was also the spirit that stayed by Alice’s side the longest.
I don’t know why, but she always hovered beside her, but never lends her strength.
‘But it’s different now.’
Only once. You’re only going to try it once.
She gripped her skirt tightly.
At that time, the spirit smiled broadly and said.
-Pretty sister! Hi!
The sound of innocent laughter filled Alice’s ears.
-But why? Why? Why did you see me It’s been a long time since you saw me!
Ren whirled around her.
And at the same time, Alice opened her mouth.
“… Please.”
The voice was too small. La Ren blinked her eyes.
-I couldn’t hear your pretty sister’s voice.
Then Alice shouted in a slightly louder voice.
“Ren…. Help me.”
Only once. I wanted to use the spirit’s power again.
I wanted to receive the protection of the spirit again.
I didn’t want to be a troubled princess anymore.
She became desperate.
Alice looked straight at Ren and said.
“Please. Help me. Wren.”
Ren’s eyes widened when he saw Alice like that.
And then, Ren burst out laughing.
– Great!
“!!!”
Alice’s eyes widened.
-I like pretty things! If it’s a pretty sister’s request, I can do it!
Ren flew through the air.
-If a pretty sister kindly extends her hand, she can do anything!
Len laughed and flew right in front of Alice.
-So don’t cry. Pretty sister
A warm wind blew from Len’s body and wrapped around Alice’s body.
Tears from Alice’s eyes were blown away by the wind.
-I’ll help you with anything!
