The temporary training for the spiritist was completed when Mr. Julio made a contract with the white raven and learned chanting and movements. Julio has gone in a different direction from what I had imagined due to the bad influence of bad adults, but he has learned to use the spirit arts properly, so there should be no problem. I've done my duty!

"Hmm. Well, I guess it's time for lunch. Sarah, help me get ready. Marco and Kikka, you guys get the firewood. Dory, you stay with Marco and the others."

I have finished training in the spiritual arts and have mastered all the physical training that Dr. Lee has taught me. We're hungry and it's time for lunch.

I have to make sure that everyone is fed since my master is in charge of everyone else.

Marco and Kikka gather the kindling. There is charcoal in the magic bag, so we should just use that, but Master says that a campfire is the only way to go! I have a mysterious obsession with bonfires.

He sometimes, or rather, often, shows me his own obsession that I don't understand, which is a problem.

I understand.

"Okay. I'll pick up a bunch of stuff. Kikka, let's go!

"Yeah. Wait for me, big brother!"

Sara comes to help me with a gentle smile, and Marco runs energetically to pick up kindling. Kikka rushes after them. And the presence of a large and gentle spirit.

Deep in the forest. A place where it would normally be fatal for a child, or even an adult, to run as unprotected as Marco.

The only reason he can remain unprotected in such a place is because of the great spirits that the master has contracted with, who are the source of the large and gentle presence.

But is that enough?

It's true that we've advanced in level, and we've become spiritists and are ready to fight. I don't mind if we are unprotected because we are safe, but the search in the labyrinth should have been a little more relaxed.

I think we are being too careless, and it would be better to discuss this with the master when he comes back.

"Sister Gina, is something wrong with Marco and the others?"

I think I made Sara uneasy when I looked at the back of Marco and the others who ran away with a difficult look on their faces.

I should not make her feel uneasy when she is in my master's charge. But Sara is a very strong person and I think it's better to let her know my doubts lightly.

"No, I just think Marco and the others are a little too vulnerable."

Sarah nodded in agreement with my words.

"Yes, that's right. This place is safe, so we may be letting our guard down. Should we be a little more careful?

I think I should do the same, but it's a difficult thing to do.

"Master said I can play except for collecting the soil. ...... Well, I'll discuss it with him when he comes back. Well, let's get ready."

He seems to want us to play more, so it's not right to get all worked up about it.

But I don't think it's right to treat me like a child too. ......I'm an adult, right?

With some unconvincing feelings, I start preparing for lunch. First, we take out the cooking oven, baking table, and table from the magic bag.

Next, we get out the table and chairs for the meal, and Sarah sets out the tableware.

But this square is also unusual. Originally it was full of trees just like the surrounding area, but when the master asked Mr. Dolly to help, the trees started to move by themselves and in no time at all, a square was created.

Thanks to Ms. Dene, the spring in the plaza has become a spring of delicious water that can be drunk directly from the spring.

Well, it's impossible though, since it's deep in the forest, there are many demons, and you can't even get there with a half-baked arm...

As we begin to prepare for the meal, the presence of many spirits approaches us.

The place is rich in nature, so I can feel the presence of spirits here and there, but this presence must be Belle and the others. Like our contracted spirits, the spirits around us love to eat, thanks to the influence of our master.

The big spirits seem to prefer drinking, though! When months worth of profits from my parents' diner are consumed in one night of feasting, I sometimes get scared.

"Gina, I picked it up!"

"Here it comes!"

Just as we had finished some preparations, Marco and Kikka returned with the firewood.

"Thank you. Then, please arrange them in the kiln and on the firing table so that they will burn easily.

"Okay."

"Yes."

Perhaps from their adventures in the labyrinth, Marco and Kikka are very good at arranging the kindling so that it burns easily. In no time at all, they had the firewood lined up.

"Sheba, please!"

I point to the kiln and ask Shiva to do something for me, and the wood catches fire.

After that, Shiva's attention flits around me, praising me, and I give her lots of compliments on her skill and thanks.

I can manage to light the firewood with the seed fire of the life magic, but it's hard to do so without making Sheba squirm.

Sometimes I wonder if a necromancer's job is to babysit. Sometimes I think, "What's the point?

Especially when I see the master in paradise, but Shiva and the other spirits are so cute that I don't mind if they are babysitters.

When the fire gets big enough, they put a big pot of soup on the kiln, and warm up the grill with the street food they bought in the labyrinth city.

At this time, the presence of many spirits line up in front of the grill. They are probably crowded together in front of the baking stand, making noises that they want to eat the food as soon as possible.

In paradise, it would be a peaceful sight to see them clearly, but it is a pity that there is only a hint of them now.

Once the food is warmed up to a certain degree, the war begins.

Sarah and her contracted spirits don't need any help, and Belle and the spirits in human form are fine, but Rain and the spirits in animal form need some help.

It is not easy to pull out skewers from the dishes and divide the food into portions so that it is easy to eat.

However, seeing them eating the dishes with pleasure in paradise, we are not inclined to cut corners. The sight of these children's despondency is heartbreaking.

Well, this time Dine and Dolly are helping me, so it's not that hard.

I enjoy my lunch with Shiva, being careful not to burn the food and to take second helpings.

I'm used to having food floating in the air.

I can even tell who is eating the food by the way it moves and disappears, without having to distinguish it by its presence. I think it's a great achievement, but I doubt if it will be of any use.

The rate at which the food is being consumed has slowed down. I guess it's time to finish eating.

After cleaning up, I guess we can relax until snack time. What shall we do?

Oh, I'd better think about how I'm going to talk to the master about Marco and Kikka's growing sense of urgency.

But first let's have lots of fun with Sheba. Even if we can't hear her voice, see her, or touch her, we can still imagine her figure, her voice, and her touch, thanks to paradise.

The master says that communication with the spirits is the most important thing, so let's communicate well with them.

......A few days later, the master came back looking very tired.

I talked to him briefly, and it seems that he was extremely mentally exhausted.

The master is a feared figure in the labyrinth city. I was alarmed and curious about the existence that could wear him down so much, but he seemed to be having a hard time even talking to me, so I decided to stop listening and let him take his time.

I think it would be better to consult with Marco and Kikka after they calm down.

***

"I love this!"

"Cue."

"...... this one is delicious too ......"

"Coo!"

"This is the best thing I've ever done! It's warm!"

"............"

Camping around a big campfire in the forest at night in the dark.

Cute contracted spirits enjoying their favorite food stalls.

Ah, it's so soothing.

Looking in the direction of the campsite, I see my apprentices taking care of the contracted spirits while they are eating their own delicious food.

Ah, it's so soothing.

From their point of view, it should look like various dishes are flying around in the air, but they are laughing and enjoying themselves without worrying about it.

Looking in the other direction, Sylphy, Dine and Dolly are chatting happily with glasses in their hands.

Although Sylphy and Dene have some troublesome personalities, they are top-notch in appearance, so just looking at them is a healing experience for me.

Yes, this is the kind of otherworldly life I've been looking for.

Not a labyrinth city where you have to deal with colorful people, but a relaxing and calm otherworldly life like this.

I don't have to be tied down by anything, just live as I please. This is what's important.

Well, there are many ties that come into play, and there are many things that don't go our way, but we need an environment where we can immerse ourselves in this kind of rich feeling.

I don't want to live my daily life in a way that stimulates subtle feelings of guilt, such as dragging an innocent boy down the kitchen path or being afraid of the effect on my student Marco.

Especially, the kitchen-related issues are not good.

The black history that I should have sealed off completely after I got a job, even though it was a mild symptom. Combined with life in a fantasy world, it makes me want to go on a rampage.

Forbidden history that has been put in a sturdy box, welded with an iron box, chained, and sunk deep into the heart.

I never thought that the spirit of darkness would stimulate my kitchen spirit and make it tingle.

I had no problem when I was making a kitchen chant as a prank, but I must be careful when I come in contact with the real thing.

I'm not joking about going through puberty in another world after all this time.

"Master, you look like you're in some kind of pain.

As I was scared of the fear that was rising up from deep inside me, Gina called out to me.

It seemed that my uncontrollable fear was showing on my face.

No wonder. Along with the kitchen tingles, I remembered things from my past that I didn't want to remember. No wonder she looked pale. d*mn it.

"Oh, it's just a bad memory, don't worry about it."

Yes, it was a dream. An illusion. It didn't really happen. So it's okay. Besides, we're in another world. The statute of limitations has expired on what happened in the old world. Let's just live with the beautiful memories.

Is that so?

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Yeah, I'm fine. Even though I'm your apprentice, I've got a beautiful woman like Gina to worry about. So it's okay. I'm fine. Yes, it's okay.

...... but I think I need a little more healing to stabilize my mind. I'll take another day off tomorrow and let you guys heal me up!
