Anel didn't even really know what this was. She had no idea of its value at all.Because of that, I stood at a difficult crossroads.Should I lie and call it a crude piece of junk to raise the odds of keeping it for myself, or tell the truth and make it impossible to have no matter how much I begged?If Undine was an angel, Lai was definitely a fiend.The problem was that I spent more time with the fiend than the angel."Jinny, why aren't you saying anything?""Well... this…-

"Oh my gosh..."I was confident that very little could shock me, but this went way too far.Even the sly Lai was at a loss for words."Don't tell me that's, that... It can't be, right? No way. It must not be.""Are you kidding me?!"I couldn't believe my own eyes.The spirit stones of Non-elemental Spirits, of which there were only nine on the entire continent!The legacy of the ancient spiritists!The final treasure of the spiritists, never to be seen…

"Yeah.""How does it sound to you? Do you hear it clearly, or just in bits and pieces?""I don't really know what it's saying, but... I hear a very faint murmuring. Only that much is clear. Sometimes, I hear it saying 'Master!' best of all.""Hmm."It seemed she really could hear it.Should I tell Anel that Aini has talent in this field?Even if she found out, though, there wouldn't be anything she could do for her, so I didn't know if there…

Filling my stomach with fruit, I gazed out beyond the mountains where the sun was setting.Elves were a nature-friendly race known to live together deep within the forest. Gentle-natured and intelligent, though somewhat insular in disposition, they lived an average of a thousand years and were known for handling Spirits best of all.Every member of their race was born with the makings of an outstanding spirit summoner, and it was said they could not only handle Spirits of multiple affinities at once, but…

As soon as she was summoned, Undine flew toward the water's edge, and I leisurely trudged along behind her."You go too, Lai!""Yes!""Now, now, you need to get used to that body. Go on, run."Having lived as a snake for a long time, Lai needed to practice fighting in a wolf's body."Shut up and do as you're told."Thinking this was a battle he didn't need to get involved in, Lai dawdled, so I gave him a kick in the rear.It might just be in my head, but…

"Lai!"Coming out of the water and wringing myself dry, I saw Lai baring his gums in a fit of temper at a young child.As soon as I appeared, he quickly hid his fangs and pretended to lick the child's head.It was a painfully awkward lick, lick.Whenever Lai was in his wolf form and had done something wrong, he had a quirk of showing more of the whites of his eyes as he tried to gauge my mood.Just like right now."You weren't about to bite them just now, were you?""Do you even…

After spewing out a huge mouthful of the drink I had been enjoying so much, I wanted to go cry in a corner with Lai.Snake wine, of all things!I didn't stagger heavily as I rose from my seat because I was drunk.The shock that hit me was simply too great.To think Anel... fed me a snake!I trusted her!She should have told me about something like that before I gladly accepted and drank it!"Are you alright, Jinny?""Anel! How could you feed me a snake!""...It's good for your…

"When we come of age, we go out to the city. And then we choose between two things. Either accept the culture of the man we chose and abandon the jungle... or abandon the man and return to the jungle.""You could just bring the man here! Have him marry into your family!""There's an old rule that no one outside our bloodline can live in the village."It was a well-known fact that jungle tribes were closed off to the outside world, but I had no idea it was like this. Not that…

"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…

Awe, my foot!Those were the eyes of hunters looking at their prey.No wonder they had suddenly given me such an enthusiastic welcome while staring at me with such an intense, burdensome gaze.No wonder they had sat me down inside a tent the moment they brought me to the village."Ugh...""Hurts. Stomach, rumble."Wanting to show off my growth to Anelia, I had demonstrated my abilities a bit, only to unexpectedly find myself acting as a healer doing medical volunteer work in a remote…
