chapter 37
Elena (4)
After Elena woke up from her faint, we talked quite a bit about each other.
“I’m going to see an honor duel.”
“You would have been better off not seeing it.”
“why?”
“Come see what’s good about hitting and hitting and fighting.”
“Still… I think Heize would have been really cool.”
“…that is undeniable.”
To be honest, anything with this face would look great, but there’s no way it wouldn’t have been nice to see him wrapped around a kwon and breaking magic.
It was an undeniable fact, so when she scratched her cheek with a shaky face, Elena burst into laughter.
“By the way, Elena.”
“yes.”
However, such a calm and ordinary conversation did not last long.
Because the beginning of meeting Elena was not an ordinary one.
Slowly opening a conversation with her, I asked a question for the future.
“Why don’t you sign a contract?”
spirit contract.
Through the contract with Aldebaran, I was able to see a little of the world Elena sees, so I couldn’t understand why Elena didn’t make a contract with the spirits.
Of course, even without making a contract with the spirits, she was helped by the spirits, and the spirits knew that she would catch her back, but as a result, non-contracting spirits have clear limitations.
– The mana of the middle world and the mana of the spirit world are different. Since the elemental is just a network that filters the mana of the middle world and supplies it to the spirits, the mana consumption is low.
‘Then the uncontracted spirit exerts its power…’
– I use my own mana. Then, not only will I not be able to fully use my powers, and even the power of an excellent spiritist is no different from being useless.
Aldebaran’s voice echoes in my head.
It wasn’t heard again at the end of the short conversation, but it turned out to be reason enough to bring up this conversation and this topic.
In order to help Elena in the future, she has to get out of her current situation.
Otherwise-
‘It will be an extra 1 that is not properly revealed as in the game.’
Even now, just like in the game, Elena is just an extra 1.

Just like Heize in the past, she will have to live alone and become unknown to anyone.
And the ending probably won’t be very good.
“….that-“
“If it’s hard to say, you can’t do it. But… because I know. It’s a question I’m asking out of pure curiosity.”
Of course, Elena herself would know that her choice was wrong.
Maybe it’s because they don’t have the will to change that choice or lack the will.
Fucking weak willpower, damn new breasts.
As was the case with Bell Might, there’s nothing wrong with that new chest trait.
Anyway, when he saw Elena trembling with a shaky face, he patted her on the shoulder once, and reassured her.
“Heh… it’s not hard to say. It’s just…my personal matter.”
Elena, who was blushing even with light skinship, opened her mouth to my hand.
personal problem.
With those words, I could be sure that I had reached the doorstep.
“…can you tell me?”
wedge.
The moment he put it in, Elena’s tightly closed door shook violently.
“However….”
“senior. No, Elena.”
But one end was not enough.
So I added one end without hesitation.
Bump!
“…wow!”
lightly.
However, with his powerful hand, he grabbed Elena’s white, fine, small hand at once.
“I can listen to any concerns. If you want to depend on it, you can rely on it.”
“….!!!”
What is important to Elena is the rare dog-like trait of weak will.
And if the weak will cannot be improved by the strength of the target, it can be overcome if there is an existence nearby to support it.
Of course, if that happens, the subject will find support whenever there is a difficult task, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to live without it in the end-
‘What’s going on?’
I didn’t even think about it that far.
The innocent Elena in front of me would bind my limbs and imprison me anywhere.
What is important to me right now is that Elena makes a contract with a spirit higher than the lowest level, so that the contract between the lower and intermediate spirits is connected to me.
You cannot give up the present just because it may become a problem in the future.
So I decided to become Elena’s ‘support’.
“…maybe the road.”
“I like those long stories.”
It wasn’t easy.
Because Elena didn’t bring up the story right away.
However.
“It might be boring.”
“Why is Elena’s story boring?”
I continued the conversation calmly.
“…you might hate me.”
“It’s not going to happen.”
Sometimes I firmly express my will.
The result was exactly what I wanted.
“…Whoah, okay.”
“I will listen.”
Straighten your posture and open your ears to Elena.
Hear Elena’s story…
“Ugh… it’s embarrassing, so don’t focus too much.”
“Then I will listen in moderation.”
“….yes.”
….it couldn’t be.

Just relax one posture slightly, and it gives off a nuance as if you are listening to your friend’s concerns rather than listening.
Some people are more comfortable sharing their concerns with a close friend than talking to a professional counselor, and Elena seemed to be that kind of person.
Or maybe it’s just that I’m shy to focus on my own past stories.
Anyway, like that, I was immersed in Elena’s story, who slowly unraveled the story with her face blushing.
*
“…well, that’s great. It was the blood of an elf. It must be something similar to Miss Estelle.”
It was my impression of hearing all the stories of Elena.
Of course, what I knew was a slurred impression.
The blood flowing through Elena’s body was precisely that of a high elf, and it was similar—but it wasn’t a level of difference that could be put into words—
“It’s similar to Miss Estelle…. There is no comparison between someone like me and Miss Estelle….”
Elena, who hesitated and procrastinated with her slender fingers, seemed to think it was absurd to compare herself to Estelle Bantam.
….what? Are you sarcastic?
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with what Elena said.
Elena and Estelle Bantam.
Because the two are not comparable.
Of course, Elena < Estelle Bantam, not Elena > Estelle Bantam is the problem.
“Don’t say that.”
“….However-“
“It is forbidden to say “but”.
“…but.”
“Don’t play with words.”
But when I told him not to do it, he sighed as he saw Elena turning around.
“Whoa…”
“sorry. don’t you feel frustrated? I was originally a kid like this… that’s why I didn’t want to talk about it…”
“No, it’s not Elena’s fault, it’s just… because the world is so cruel.”
“why?”
Why? It’s because nothing ever comes easy.
I tried to get Elena to make a contract with a higher spirit and suck some honey with elemental magic, but this guy’s world didn’t go easily.
Elena, who was timid by nature, shy, weak-willed, and new-breasted, disliked the enormous interest that came when she made a contract with a higher spirit.
‘But if you want Elena to be stronger for everyone, don’t pay attention! can’t say No, even if they say it, they won’t listen or pay attention.’
In the end, the way Elena won’t be paid attention is simple.
If she doesn’t pay attention to the world, the world doesn’t pay attention to her.
And the way Elena doesn’t pay attention to the world is by not making a contract with the higher spirits-
“…Anyway, Elena is better than Miss Estelle.”
“I’m worse than Miss Estelle.”
It was lowering yourself than others.
Then, your interest will shift to someone who is superior to you.
“Right. Senior Elena. you are worse than me So, Hayes-kun. I will forgive you for your rudeness, so please leave that low-key half and come to me.”
“…Miss Estelle.”
However, Elena, who showed only a droopy voice, showed her anger for the first time when she heard the voice of Estelle Bantam, who was attractive with light silver hair.
Hayes.
Elena staggered and stood up as Esten Bantam tried to take him away from her.
“…are you chasing us?”
“I missed it in the middle…but there is nothing I can’t find if it is the power of lesser earth spirits and lesser wind spirits. Especially if you stop and play around like this.”
A translucent white spirit and a brown golem-like existence were standing next to the snoring Estelle Bantam.
The two of them are probably the lower wind spirits and the lower earth spirits.
Estelle Bantam, who did not stop chasing after being insulted by the power of the two spirits, eventually caught up with them.
and.
“I have heard and know that Princess Shan Andrea is watching you. So, Hayes-kun. Take my hand and go to the nobility together. You will be able to fulfill your dreams that could not be fulfilled there. with me!”
“….!!!”
Estelle Bantam stretched out her elegant hand and reached out to Heize.
Elena’s face hardened with surprise at the beautiful, picture-like appearance of an angel guiding Heize to heaven, but Estelle Bantam didn’t care.
“We have a lot of similarities. In terms of being a talented genius. If we work together like that, the next leader of the nobility will be mine and yours!”
“….no. Heize-kun…Heize doesn’t resemble Miss Estelle.”
“I don’t think it’s something a senior who is stuck with his talents could not fully fully develop would say.”
“…”
Whoops-
Abandoning respect and speaking rudely, with a sullen look, Estelle Bantam defeated Elena’s efforts with one snort and one word.
Estelle Bantam knew.
Elena has as much talent as herself.
However, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, if they can’t bloom, it’s worse than harmony.
“Heize-kun doesn’t suit seniors.”
“….Nope.”
“I don’t think you understand, but do you think that a talented first-year student like this is a good fit for a senior? Are you one year older?”
“…just one year old.”
“There is nothing better than me. Your position within the department, your position outside the academy, and your body.”
“….!!!”
rustic murder.
Estelle Bantam was clearly demonstrating what it means to kill people with words.
Estelle Bantam, who boasted of her body with a wide chest and a confident face, was obviously voluptuous than Elena.
“Am I better than Heize-kun, a senior like that?”
“…Heize doesn’t look at things like breasts.”
“It is better to have it than not have it. It’s as if your senior has talent but doesn’t have it.”
“…Ugh.”
loser.
Neither words nor body could beat Estelle Bantam.
Nothing could beat Estelle Bantam, but Elena didn’t want to lose Heize to Estelle Bantam.
“Why…why are you taking everything from me? title of genius. You are being admired by others. You have it all.”
“Don’t get me wrong, senpai. It’s not that I take everything, it’s that seniors throw everything away.”
“…!”
At the sight of Estelle Bantam snoring, Elena shook her head with a shocked face.
If you think about it, it was.
Because everything about Estelle Bantam today was actually kicked out by Elena herself.
Estelle Bantam’s outstanding talent? talk shit? body? droughty?
They were meaningless in the face of overwhelming talent.
Nevertheless, there is only one reason why Estelle Bantam has an overwhelming position within the Department of Spirits and can be responsible for the status of the Department of Spirits in the future.
‘It’s because of me. Because I gave up, Miss Estelle…but this time it’s different.’
I voluntarily gave up everything.
So, for this one time, Elena-
I wanted to get one thing arbitrarily just once.
“Then, if I want it, can I have it?”
“If you can take it. It’s impossible with the talents of your seniors that you can’t bloom and that you won’t be able to do in the future-“
“Children, I…a contract, I’ll do it.”
A girl’s will.
That single will to sign a contract made her friends, who had been waiting for that one word for a long time, smile.
-thank you.
-thank you.
-…I will never forget grace.
– Whoa! Shh!
They are his old friend, a dark-haired boy who returned the heart of a girl who refused to sign a contract with them because he was timid.
A small thank you to Hayes.
quagga gag!!!
At the same time, a fierce wind began to blow on the mountain behind the Elemental Department building.
Earth, water, wind, fire.
A gust of wind wrapped around the four attributes, and a gust of wind that made it impossible to open even both eyes properly, erupted around Elena.
Elena’s gray hair is slowly dyed silver in the gust of wind that she can’t take her feet off her feet and can’t even open her eyes properly.
yet-
“….ah.”
Estelle Bantam saw.
The fact that silver hair, which lacks even a word for splendor, which cannot even be compared with her pale silver hair, was placed on Elena’s head.
“Miss Estelle. No, Estelle Bantam. You can take it all. A genius in the Department of Spirits. A talented student who inherited the blood of an elf. A spirit priest who will make a contract with the spirit king. Take all these titles. However.”
thud-
The voice of a young girl with anger resounds throughout the mountains behind.
When the stomping of anger fills the whole mountain behind.
“If you want to take Heize-kun, you must take it this time.
With Elena’s will, the wind that swept around her began to vibrate wildly.
It was the moment when the girl who had given up everything voluntarily tried to catch one person voluntarily this time.
