Chapter Title: Unlocking the Spirit Vision

「Wh……at……?」

Suddenly, the landscape in front of me changed. Light surged into my eyes and I squinted in the glare. There were bright lights floating everywhere, moving around erratically.

As I looked at the scene…

「Elt-kun. Are you awake?」

Yomi said so with a spoon in his hand. When I turned around, I could see a kind of aura covering his whole body.

「Eh, already? It’s only been two weeks, you know?」

In front of me, Serena, wearing a rather thin aura, had a surprised expression on her face. She was holding a loaf of bread in one hand.

「No, Elt’s aura was also growing. I figured it was about time.」

To his left, Phil nodded, fork in hand. He was in the middle of eating his breakfast.

「Is this what you call…… spirit vision?」

I was confused by the sudden change in my vision, but I guessed so because of my prior knowledge.

「Hmm. You are now qualified to use the spirits.」

I nodded at Yomi’s words.

「Well, let’s start training on how to handle spirits today.」

After breakfast, we gathered at the village square. The elves, who had heard that I was able to use my spirit vision, were waiting for us there. All of them seemed to have mastered spirit vision, as they all emitted auras of various sizes.

「Ah, I’m counting on you.」

「First, let me explain the different types of spirits. There are many types of spirits in this world. The most common are the spirits of the four attributes of earth, wind, water, and fire, as well as the spirits of light and darkness.」

When Serena said this, the elves who can use spirits stepped forward and showed us their spirits.

「There are different names for spirits: micro spirits, low spirits, intermediate spirits, high spirits, great spirits, and spirit kings. The further back they are called, the more influence they have on the world and the more intelligent they become.」

「Can I use spirits to create wind and fire now?」

Serena shook her head at my question.

「In order to use a spirit, you must first make a contract with the spirit of that attribute. The higher your charm status, the more spirits will come to you. For example, my father, who has a charm of 2000, is under contract with a high-level spirit. My brother has one attribute of low level spirits and two attributes of medium level spirits. I have three low-level spirits and one medium-level spirit.」

She then showed me each of the spirits.

「The light that’s floating around us now has a different shape than everyone else’s. Are these micro-spirits?」

Each embodiment, whether it be a low spirit or a medium spirit, has the same form as a person.

「A spirit can only take on the form of an individual when it is given a name.」 1

My question was answered by Serena, who explained the capture.

「So you’re saying that everyone’s spirits are the way they are now because they gave them names too?」

If you can transform a spirit to a human just by naming it, it means that the elves here have done so as well.

「Some spirits are like that, but some aren’t.」

「What do you mean?」

I tilted my head and asked for a detailed explanation.

「If you have high charm, you will be liked by many spirits. Some of them are even high-ranking spirits. When such a spirit appears, you can make a contract with it if you have enough cost slots.」

The cost frame would be the part of Serena’s status that was (5/5). In the case of Yomi (10/10) and Phil (7/7), the higher the appeal, the larger the cost frame.

If you do the simple math, that’s 1 spirit per 200 charm.

Originally, the reason I stayed here and learned to see spirits was to get out of this lost forest. It seems that spirits don’t lose their sense of direction and can get out of the forest.

So I can start executing my escape from the forest when the conditions are right for me to make a contract with a spirit…….

「The usual practice is to name and sign a contract with one of those minor spirits first, and then when their power and charm gradually increase, sign a contract with an intermediate or advanced spirit.」

However, it is better to sign a contract with a reasonably strong spirit anyway.

At the moment, only the Evil God’s skills allow me to attack from a distance. As I move through the forest, there will be times when I will need to use long range attacks. And I don’t want to use the Evil God’s skills if I can help it. Because I can’t replenish them since the evil god has been destroyed.

By the time I get through the forest, I’m likely to encounter Bloody Ogre and other opponents that I will need to defeat with the skills from the Evil God. I thought there would be a difference in the number of times I consumed depending on whether or not I could use my spirits at that time.

「Serena」

「Yes. What is it?」

I said, interrupting Serena’s explanation.

「I need you to show me where I can find some strong spirits around here.」

「Yes?」
