At any rate, in order to fulfill the condition given by the king of spirits, I went with Sylphy to dismantle the rock pile yesterday. We worked hard until midnight to get it done in one day. We have gathered enough stones to dig a hole today.

"Today I'm going to do the digging, Tulu, you're going to help me. Gina and the others will go with Sylphy to destroy the undead nests, and Belle and the others will take care of the guavards and patrol the base.

After breakfast, we relax a little and tell them about our plans for the day. Bell and the others can play around if they want, but they look a little sad when they don't have their own work to do in the morning. The Great Spirits are free to do as they please, so they don't need instructions.

"Work!" "Queue!" "Coo-coo!" "Mimawari...... is easy!"

Bell and his friends are showing motivation, and Moon is pulling on Bell's head, by the way. Moon is pulling on Bell's head. Flare is talking about burning the demons that are approaching the base, right? You're not saying enough for the mood.

The Belles fly off in high spirits, and Gina and the others fly off to the nest of the undead, accompanied by Sylphie. I've packed your lunch, and you didn't forget anything, did you?

"Well, Tulu, I guess we'll be pioneering for a while now, but I'm looking forward to working with you."

"Yeah."

Tulu doesn't talk much on his own, so this would be a good opportunity for him to talk about some things. The other kids are relatively easy to understand what they want to do, but Tulu is so quiet that it's hard to tell unless he's fascinated by Fluffy.

"Okay, I'll dig the ground from here, and you level and consolidate the ground.

Tulu nodded her head. Since I've been talking with Bell and the others so naturally, it's a little difficult for me to talk to them about anything new. I don't like to start with the weather. I think about it as I dig up the dirt with my magic shovel and store it away.

"Tulu, how about after you make a contract with me?"

Tulu tilts her head at my question. I guess I was being too abstract.

"Do you enjoy living here?"

"Yes."

"I'm glad you're having fun. When do you have the most fun, Tulu?"

"When I eat dinner with everyone."

I was a little surprised because I expected the word "mofumofu" to come back to me. And I'm kind of glad you said that.

"I see, it's delicious when we eat together, isn't it?"

Tulu nodded her head.

"What do you like, Tulu?"

"Chahan."

"The one with the assault dragon?"

"Yes."

I made this the last time I cooked a batch of rice. I put a lot of garlic and some Assault Dragon in it, and it turned out great. Torque's influence has definitely made me and everyone else a garlic lover.

The conversation goes on and on, with me asking questions and Tulu replying with a few words. It's not a particularly lively conversation, but it's a somewhat peaceful time, which is not bad.

We have lunch in between, and continue to play with the occasional visit from Belle and the others as we continue our exploration. Compared to when we first started pioneering in this area, our bodies seem to have learned to exercise, and our pace has quickened considerably. The biggest influence is no doubt the improvement of my level, but I'm glad to see the growth of other parts of my body as well. Let's do our best again tomorrow.

*****

"Well, it's my day off today, so Gina and Belle can do whatever they want. I'm going out for a bit, but I'll leave lunch in the living room so you can reheat it and eat it together.

It's been three days since we started expanding our base, and Gina and her team are doing a good job of destroying the undead burrows, but it's time for a break.

"Why don't you take a break, Master?"

"It's like a vacation for me, too. I'm going to take it easy, don't worry, Gina, you take it easy too.

"Okay, let's go play in the park. Marco, let's race to see who can fly the furthest. I'm getting better too. I'm going to win today!

"Gina, I'm not going to let you down!"

"Master, may I borrow your ball? I'm going to go play with Kikka and Fukuchan."

"Oh, and don't hurt the four of us."

As I hand the ball to him, I give him a warning. Kids can be reckless when they get excited.

"Yuta, belle and the others are going to play a game of tag... cucumber, boom, cucoo, cucoo, I won't give up!" ......"

Bell and his friends are playing tag in a maze of clay pipes. They used to play tag, but they don't seem to have any rules, so I taught them, and they got into it and are playing their favorite game these days. Playing tag at high speed is quite a spectacle.

I thought that Belle, who is good at flying, would have an advantage, but surprisingly, she doesn't. She is curious or easily distracted, and her character is at the mercy of the other.

Let me tell you the next story, "Daruma-san ga tumbled down. The spirits who are trying their best to stay still should be very cute. I bought a swimsuit but haven't used it yet. Maybe next vacation we can play in the pool.

"Yeah, have fun!"

I see Gina and Belle off to the park and head for the distillery.

"I'm sorry Sylphy. I told you I would make up the day off, but you kept me company today.

No problem. I'm not tired, so a day off once in a while is enough for me. Besides, it's my fault for bringing you here.

"Thank you."

Let's take advantage of Sylphy's kindness and take care of our problem for now.

"But you don't have to worry about it, it's just your personality, it's not a big problem.

"Well, I don't really care that much, but since you're here, it's better to have fun, right?

"Well, I'm sure she'll be happy to see you."

Sylphy says with a shrug. I can't help it. We arrive at the distillery and call out inside.

"If, you want to go fight against the undead?"

"I'm coming!"

Wow, that's a quick response. Your eyes are glistening, or rather, they're glistening and scary. Well, I thought I could fight since I signed the contract, but the contractor is a pioneer who takes it easy. I guess it was a little unexpected. For a spirit who has so many restrictions on wielding his power, it's a hard personality to be a combat enthusiast.

Let's go. Zombies or skeletons?

"Hmmm, zombies are more punchable, aren't they?"

If answers while spinning his arms. He's all fired up, like he's ready to go for it.

Hey, Sylphy! Didn't you say you were going to hit me?

"You did say that."

"You're a genie and you're going to hit me?"

"Yes, he goes to the trouble of putting magic and fire into his fist and hits me when all it takes is a single magic shot."

Sylphy shakes her head and says, "I don't understand. I knew there were different types of spirits.

"You're an unusual type. But even if you like to fight, you're a genie, so your opponent's attacks can't reach you, can they? It's going to be a one-sided fight, but I wonder if Ife is happy with that."

"If told me once that it would make the other person happier to know that he or she has fought a proper battle than to be reduced to ashes in an instant without knowing what to do."

No, no, no, if you have to die anyway, it would be better to be reduced to ashes in an instant without knowing anything. ...... Maybe ifs working based on his own idea of a fighting maniac? I'd rather die fighting if I were you. .......

What a nuisance...... Well, they are demons, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to sacrifice yourself. I can't convince the Great Spirit. If is willing to do it, let's get going...

****

"Well then, me and Sylphy will follow you, and you can do all the work."

"Oh!"

I ask Sylphy to lead me to the King Zombie's nest and leave everything to If. After all, if he's going to leave everything to me, I should just give him permission to fight freely, but I'm afraid to do so. We can stop him if things look bad if we stay together for now, so we follow If into the nest.

"OLLA!"

If's right fist is covered in flames and blows the zombie's head off. It looks like something I've seen in an anime. If happily beats up zombies and skeletons attracted by the sound. They seem to be having a great time, even if they are weak. It's been a long time since he has been in battle, so maybe that's why he is so excited.

If moves deeper and deeper with a big smile on his face. Oh, he crushed the sword that the soldier zombie swung at him with his fist. That's quite a show. As expected of a great spirit, the fire didn't spread anywhere but where his fist hit, even though he hit it with flames.

"Oh, I think I'm starting to get a feel for this.

They rush into King Zombie's room, and a lot of magic and bows and arrows come flying at them. ...... towards me.

That's right. From their point of view, the only thing they can see properly is the flames on my and If's hands. I'd say you're the culprit now.

It's true that I'm the culprit since my contracted If is on the rampage, but I'm not convinced.

"Thank you, Sylphie."

I thank Sylphy for blocking all the attacks with a wind wall.

"You're welcome. So, what are you going to do now? There are too many of them, and the undead will come loose over here, too."

With only two fists, even the Great Spirit will be outnumbered. Should I help?

"I'll take care of everything, you just play defense!"

As I was considering whether or not to participate in the event, word came from If. He said he didn't need any help.

"That's what he said, so please help me.

"I can't help it."

With that, Sylphy waved her hand, and the horde of undead pushed back, unable to take a step forward. It's like the wind wall has expanded its range, isn't it?

"What are you doing? Get rid of him!

Oh, here comes King Zombie. They've come out of frustration with the undead who can't seem to make any headway. They may have been able to break Bell's wind wall, but they won't be able to break Sylphy's.

Following King Zombie's order, the undead are coming towards us ...... from behind, crushing the zombies to bits. Perfectly grotesque. Meanwhile, If is beating the undead to a pulp.

"Get out of the way! Come on, boys!"

At King Zombie's command, the undead split to the left and right. A zombie with a spear and a zombie with a sword jump into the scene. The atmosphere is very Zombie General-esque. The zombies are about to make their grand entrance, but they are quickly bounced off of Sylphy's wall of wind.

There is a moment of silence. It's a bit awkward, isn't it? The pattern of coming out like it's my turn to play and ending up with nothing to do. I had a similar experience once. I told my niece that I would help her with her homework, but when she didn't understand it, I felt sad. Maybe it's the same thing.

"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?

King Zombie started talking to me, as if he thought he was in over his head.

"Hey, Sylphy. Should I not answer him now?"

It's not like I'm fighting them myself, so maybe conversation is possible.

"If Yuta is rounded up, he will stop ifs."

"...... I'll shut up."

"I think that's a good idea."

I turned away from the king zombie who was trying to talk to me and covered my ears. After a while, he gave up talking to us and started to do something about ifs. Maybe he was glad that his attention was focused on him, or maybe iff got even more excited. 

"I'll never forgive you!

Finally, King Zombie fought bravely with If and was defeated. He looks at me and spits out blood. If, why didn't you crush his head? This is so awkward.

"Whew. Well, that's about it. I feel pretty good, but I'd like to fight something a little bigger next time.

If comes back smiling.

"Well, maybe when I get a chance."

I was afraid that if I assured him, he would want to fight with me, so I kept my words vague, secured only the magic stone of the big guy, and got out of there. If we have to fight with a fire dragon class, we should ask Ifu to help us.
