"What?"Oops, I can talk to him with my thoughts.Did spirits not know the saying, "the more, the merrier"? I picked at my ear, though conversing through thoughts had the fatal flaw that I couldn't pretend not to hear.What would I even do with the human world after ruling it? I could barely take care of myself.Never once in my life had I envied a president or a king when looking at them. Far more often, I found myself wondering how they managed such an exhausting job.My motto had…-

"What is it about this candlestick?""Can't you hear him? He's saying hello. This is a Metal Spirit!"Oh, the look on Iel's face at that moment."Haah, Miss Jinny? It seems you're trying to elicit my sympathy like this, but I won't fall for it.""......Do you think I'm talking nonsense right now?""Yes."Why did he have to answer without a second's hesitation!"It's true! What do you take me for!""You're…

"Yeah, Lai! How is it?"It was the name of the dog I had raised in my past life, though I didn't bother telling him that.Was coming up with it in five seconds a bit much? No, I hadn't even come up with it—I'd recycled it, so it did feel a little half-hearted. For a moment, I regretted not giving him a cool name, but I ultimately decided it was too much of a bother."My name is Jin-i Crowell.""Jin-i!"Now even a spirit is ignoring my name.Seeing how both humans…

The Mana inside my body resonated with the incantation, filling the small space and beginning to hum.I felt the candle flames flare up all at once.Inside the room, with its windows shut tight, the air churned wildly on its own.Just then, an even more intense light poured from the already glowing Contract Circle. Startled, I squeezed my eyes shut.The Mana inside my body vanished rapidly, as if it were being yanked right out of me.A nagging stomachache washed over me. It felt as though someone were ripping…

"I only need one beaker's worth... Let's trade it for my yellow frilly ribbon. How about it? You liked that one, didn't you?""Oh, really? Didn't you get that as a birthday present?""Who cares? My idiot brothers gave it to me. Giving me yellow, a color I hate, in the first place must have carried the deep meaning that I should use it somewhere else, don't you think?""Hmm... Still, one beaker is enough for three experiments. Where are you going to…

Screw This, I'll Do It Myself!Why had I forgotten that I could do it even without someone teaching me?Right, it was because I lacked the willpower. Having realized that I just needed to go ahead and do it, I suddenly put on a bright, attentive act."It was difficult material, you know. So I want to hear it again!""...It really wasn't that difficult a class, though?"Since I don't remember it, it must have been difficult! Either that, or I dozed off a little."Still, I…

"So we are talking about a spiritist. As you well know, spiritists are exceedingly few in number even across the entire continent, and their efficiency is impossible to gauge. They are rare talents.Therefore, finding a suitable teacher is no easy task, and even if such a department were established, that child would surely be its only student.""That is correct, Your Majesty.""Then you, better than anyone, must know that this is no simple matter.""Which is precisely why I…

"Jinny!"Ugh... I keep telling her it's 'Jini.'"Whaat?"Pulled from a sweet sleep, I cracked my eyes open into narrow slits and answered in a drawl."Let's go put the books back!"Next time, I was definitely going to ditch her and come alone. This was annoying me to death.Though I grumbled endlessly inside, one look at Mia's sparkling eyes made me haul my small body up and follow her.I walked along, yawning and stretching.This library was so huge that even…

The sunlight streaming in through the hole in the ceiling was dazzling.As I stared blankly at the clouds floating across the sky, someone called out to me.Since I knew very well who it was, I didn't bother looking over. With a huge book resting on her lap, she asked me gently,"Jinny? Aren't you going to read a book?"Only then did I slowly turn my gaze.Gorgeous blonde hair fluttering in the sunlight, and jade-colored eyes with a pale blue tint. A little girl with a child's…
