After leaving Dmitri and arriving at an outlying city in Heilan, we finally got to stay at an inn for the first time. We were assigned rooms, and for once, we even had a more plentiful meal.The kids were excited to finally sleep in beds, and I felt the exact same way. Everyone paired off amicably, two to a room.

"Really? Move aside!"Monsters! I had heard about them endlessly, day and night, but this was my first time actually seeing one.I cracked the carriage door open and poked my head out to check the situation.About twenty knights were escorting our delegation, and they were effortlessly subduing the Orcs.It wasn't a particularly worrying situation.

"Your dream is pretty small, Jinny.""Small?! Being rich is the best thing ever. There's nothing money can't solve!"Maybe because Mia was a rich girl herself, she didn't really seem to understand how useful money was."With money, you can just eat and play around all day!""Wait, you can't buy spirits with money, though.""You can buy a spiritist.""...Uh, well, you can't buy love with money!""Maybe so? Then again, I…

So basically, he can only exert his power over what he has absorbed.It's a simple yet annoying method. No wonder his mouth waters whenever he sees metal. Wait, isn't that strange, though?At my question, Lai, in the form of a snake, shook his head from side to side and mimed a sigh.Naturally, Lai was a Spirit, and his way of thinking differed from a human's. Sometimes we talked right past each other.The snake's eyes, glinting with a strange light as he looked at me, resembled a certain…

"Ahem?"While I was spacing out, the dean kicked my heel and Iel sent me a rather serious look.Both of them were silently pressuring me, their faces practically breaking out in a cold sweat..."Ah!"Only belatedly did I realize how rudely I had been behaving. Staring blankly at the King for a good while—it was something that would land me in deep trouble."I greet the King of Dmitri!

"Undine!""Mmph?"My mouth was still stuffed with bread as I chewed.Every single person lined up behind Mr. Iel was glaring at me with a terrifying look in their eyes.From the dean, whom I knew a little, to the vice dean and several other elderly spiritists I had seen a few times before."That! Summon that! Quickly!""The water spirit!""Let us see it!"Only then did I grasp the situation. I had been wondering what all the sudden fuss was about, and it seemed…

It was an excessively lovely creature.Made of water, it was the size of a palm and shaped like a tiny mermaid. Round and plump all over, it somehow made me want nothing more than to protect it."Hello? Undine."After hesitating, Undine held a tiny hand out toward me.When her hand touched my fingertips, that spot alone grew cold, as if snow had fallen upon it."Oh my, how pretty.

Seeing me making all sorts of faces as I conversed with Lai, Iel must have thought I was deep in contemplation, for he patted my shoulder and spoke kindly."If you cannot decide, how about a Fire Spirit? They are the most commonly handled. Plus, they are practical, and their offensive power is the strongest among the Four Great Spirits.""Rejected.""Pardon? With your temper, Miss Jinny, it would be a perfect... No, judging by your prickly personality, fire seems like quite... a good…
