The Strongest Hunter Who Was Not Allowed To Hunt Monsters Joined a Cooking Guild - Chapter 45
Chapter 45
“Did Pamela-san just say Elemental?? “
It was Olivia who was so shocked that she shouted out.
Standing on a wooden tangerine box today, Olivia, who was the receptionist, leaned out from the other side of the counter and stared at Pamela, who had seen her many times.
The person in question is in trouble with that line of sight. She didn’t know how to react, I just smiled.
“Oh …”
It was the guild master who cleared his throat.
When I advised him to be quiet, Olivia finally returned to her senses.
This time she lowered her voice, but it seems that the excitement cannot be suppressed.
“Wow! It’s amazing! Pamela-san”
“Sorry, Olivia.I know that elemental is a rare skill just like Zelet but I don’t know what it does … “
Elemental Is a rare case, like my double.
Logically speaking, it seems to be a magically compatible person. To put it simply, they are compatible with most magical runes and can use magic freely.
Which means that they can transform their body into a half magical state. If they learn magic in that state, it will have powerful output, and you will be swallowed by the power of magic, and you may be seriously injured in the worst case.
“What? That’s not dangerous.”
“Oh … but that’s a disadvantage.if anything the merit is greater.”
“Yes. People who are ‘half-magical’ can see and hear things that ordinary humans cannot see or hear.”
“The representative is ‘spirit’ “
Spirits are invisible pure magical creatures that live in Old Bull.
Surprisingly, the society in which it forms is a contract society. However, unlike humans, it seems that it has a structure that has a strong bond by magical power and gains great power by solidarity, not by paper and pen.
”Elemental Points to a being allowed to enter the contract created by such spirits.
It refers to a person who is a being, but who can make a contract with a spirit and sometimes use its power.
“Well … well, I know it’s amazing. — So, Zelet says he wants to hire me.”
“Yes. To be precise, I would like to officially hire Pamela from the Cooking Guild. Please be a partner of Zelet.”
“That’s fine, but what should I do? What should I do?”
“First you should try to sign a contract with a spirit. I’ll talk about what to do later.”
“That’s right. Let’s stop talking here. There are also human eyes.”
Olivia looks around.
The cooking guild was crowded today as well. Thanks to the previous thief turmoil, there is also a security guard, which is a bit terrible.
“First of all, Pamela-chan, listen to Zelet-kun.”
The guild master comes out over the counter and listens to Pamela.
“And, please spoil me a lot with Zelet-kun. He will listen to whatever Pamela-chan says now.”
“Anything …”
“Muhfu …”
When Pamela blushes, the Guild Master smiles fearlessly.
What the hell are you planning, especially the Guild Master.
“By the way, what should I do with a spiritual contract? The spirits that make a contract will soon be …”
“What are you talking about? It’s decided that it will be near the forest in the city.”
“I should be in such a place …”
“In the first place, you can’t see the spirits of Zelet-kun.”
“Even if I can’t see, we have excellent eyes.”
I point to Rir, who is behind me.
“That’s right. You can see the spirits through her.”
“Same as Zelet-san …. Everyone else forgot that she was too nonstandard.”
The Guild Master and Olivia bowed, saying, “we will miss you.”
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
Immediately, I come to the forest with Pamela,Rir, and Prim.
This is to find the spirit to make a contract.
Pamela stops after a few steps into the woods.
She picked up my black coat with a confused expression on her face.
“Zelet! What is this?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t see anyone that Pamela can see.”
“Huh?”
“But maybe it’s a spirit.”
Pamela’s hands were shaking, but her eyes were staring at something.
”I have seen a painting that is said to have description about elementals, but it was a different world from what I see in the forest.
A wide variety of spirits are moving around and living.
Even where I’m standing now, it’s a spirit house.
Even such people will not interfere unless we do something. Rarely.
“Pamela … Don’t look too closely at the spirits. It seems that when they “see”, they become aggressive as soon as they can.”
“I’m sorry … I wanted you to say that first.”
“―――― !!”
The next moment, the trunk moved.
I hug Pamela sideways and leave the place.
Immediately after, a thick trunk was shaken off like a whip where I and Pamela were.
“Ze, Zelet …”
“Don’t worry. You’re not heavy.”
“Eh? Hey! What do you mean !!”
“Be quiet. I don’t want to stimulate the monsters in the forest in this situation.”
“Ah — I’m sorry”
Pamela hurriedly closes her mouth.
However, my hands were blocked.
I can’t shoot the cannon sword as it is.
I don’t mean to shoot useless bullets at this level of opponent.
“Rir! Stupid disciple !!”
“Woof”
Rir pops out.
She went straight to the trunk, who started to move as if it was obsessed with something.
While dodging the branches that fly like a spear, Rir enters the flank of the magic tree and charges with the giant body.
The tree breaks from the root and is pressed by Rir. In a blink of an eye, she suppressed the movement of the monster.
“Rya ah ah ah ah ah ah ah !!”
It was Prim who daringly pulled out the magic tree and chewed the giant swing.
From the center that rotates at high speed, you can hear a really fun voice saying “Nyahahaha!”.
She just threw it away and flew to the other side of the forest. Prim does not forget the subsequent screams.
Then, the noisy forest calms down.
I wasn’t afraid of the strength of Rir and Prim.
Even I, who can’t see the spirits, can understand.
That someone with an overwhelming presence is approaching.
“Pamela, can you see anything?”
When asked, Pamela swallowed instead of the answer.
“Uh, yeah. Big … that deer? That … a lot of horns, carrying tree trunks and branches on it’s back, not only on it’s head, but also on it’s body …”
Probably the lord of this forest.
The spirits were noisy, so I think they came to see it.
I’m lucky. The big favorite came from the other side.
“a……”
“What happened?”
“Is something coming out of the tree that was moving a while ago? It’s cute … I’m looking at this.”
Probably a spirit child.
It seems that he has been interested in Pamela, who can see the spirits.
Even so, it’s inconvenient for me to not see it.
But the Lord is different.
Probably a spirit that has lived for 1000 years, or even 10,000 years.
Perhaps because of my magical power, I can’t see the spirits, but I can feel the outline.
What I thought was a head hung down.
Apparently it is an apology.
“Yeah. I’m sorry we entered your territory without permission …. I’m sorry. I didn’t know that there were so many spirits living in the forest. Before I knew it, I went through your forest. We were disturbing you.”
Pamela also bows her head.
Seeing the reaction, the Lord quivered. Apparently they are laughing.
Apparently the impression of the first meeting seems to be good.
“What is the Lord saying?”
“Um …. Before that, Zelet. Move your feet away. There is a spirit house there.”
Uo! There really is a spirit house!
I’m sorry.
I hurriedly withdrew from the spot.
“The lord of the forest doesn’t care. And he’s asking for our purpose.”
“If so, answer as it is. You came to contract with the spirit.”
“That’s right. We came here because we wanted to get along with the spirits …”
Also, the head of the forest lord hangs forward.
There seems to be no problem in guessing from the gesture.
However, in order to make a contract with the spirit, you must clear the test given by the spirit.
For example, it seems that there are things like defeating evil monsters, breaking curses, and even picking up trash.
“There is no theme. It’s telling me to sign a contract right away.”
Really? It’s amazing. What happened?
“Because we cleared the ghost that was nesting in this forest before.”
ghost? I don’t remember … You’re confusing with someone.
“Don’t you remember Zelet? You got rid of the ghost when you defeated the three-necked Wyvern, right?”
Ah! That! !!
By the way, this forest was near the site.
No way, I didn’t know the subject of the Lord of the Forest and cleared it …
In a way, I was lucky.
“Then, I’m going to make a spiritual contract with your words. Um … What should I do? The forest lord — Then, it’s no good. It seems to be difficult if there is no person to organize the spirits in the forest. “
Pamela visits the surroundings.
“That’s right. The child just before! I decided on this child.”
I can’t see it, but apparently she chose the spirit that came out of the magic tree.
“Hey … Can you contract with me?”
“…………”
“Really? Thank you! No. It’s so cute, but this kid.”
Embracing something, Pamela is smiling.
From the point of view of me who can’t see it, it seemed like she was doing a solo play, and it was creepy.
Immediately, Pamela begins to shine.
“Cho! What !!”
“It’s a contract! You just have to stay still.”
A strong magical bond begins to form between Pamela and the spirits.
The contract with the spirit is simply the delivery of magical power.
It is said that by circulating magical powers with each other, it is possible to recognize their existence and share their powers.
There is no such definition of elemental in a maneuver skill as the energy is circulated internally and for magical runes it is done externally. It is a bit special as the energy is borrowed from the spirit.
Furthermore, by connecting with Pamela, the spirit has a physical body.
It is said that incarnation is one of the spirits’ wish, so the spirits usually try to actively engage with humans.
It seems that the one that attacked us is similar to the one that makes a little bit of mischief.
The appearance of Pamela’s embraced spirit is gradually revealed.
It’s smaller than expected. It was like a stuffed animal.
Eventually the light stops.
At that moment, the spirit jumped out of Pamela’s chest.
“Kurukkyu! !! “
It was the child of the forest spirit Dryad who gave a lively voice.
