We inquired the location from Exeter,
and advanced to theToki Forest.
Onii-chan.
Are we really going to kill a Toki?
Umu, Ill decide after I confirm the situation.
It may only be a different creature of the same name.
Seiji-sama,
what kind of existence is atoki
for you and the others?
Hm?
Havent you seen a toki on the TV or something, Elena?
Its an endangered species
and has been designated as a special protected species.
When we advanced through the forest while having such talk, a surprising view spread out.
Toki!
A marshland which was about as wide as one dome spread out.
There, a large number of elegant toki were passing the time.
There seem to be around a thousand of them.
No matter how you look at it, its the same as an ordinary toki in Japan.
Its a toki.
Its a toki.
I mean, its not a monster, isnt it!?
Then, were not going to subjugate it?
Its a genuine toki, we cant subjugate it as expected.
Good~.
However, what kind of victims appear with this?
When I was lost in thought like that
One toki descended from the sky.
Uwa, whats that!?
Its no wonder that Aya is surprised.
The toki which went down was an enormous toki around 5m.
And, the toki descended to the ground a little further from us.
Aya and the others promptly took a fighting stance.
Wait!Its not an enemy.
TheVigilancemagic had indicated that its not an enemy.
Human, what did you come here for?
I-, It talked-!
Its voice is that of a woman. Is this toki a female?
Uhh, do you understand human language?
Yes, I understand it.
Onii-chan, why are you talking to yourself?
Eh?Do you not hear the words of this fellow, Aya?
Is this fellow youre talking about the toki?
Does this fellow talk about something?
I didnt hear anything, though?
Elena and Hilda shake their heads too.
Can it only be heard by me?
There seems to be a somewhat similar phenomenon before
Ah!
Are you by any chance aspirit?
Thats right,
Im aspirit.
Seriously!!!?
Well then, human, Ill ask again.
What did you come here for?
Weve been asked to subjugate toki.
Wai-!Onii-chan, if you say such a thing-!
Then, are you going to subjugate us?
No.
Somehow or other, there seems to be a mistake in the information weve been told.
Is that right? Then please leave immediately.
Id like to ask you about one thing before leaving.
What is that thing youd like the ask?
What do you have to do with the humans who live near here?
Good, Ill explain it.
The toki talked about how things got this way.
The humans come to kill the toki.
The humans want the magic stone which rarely found in the body of the toki.
The enormous toki repelled the humans who attacked in order to protect its fellow toki.
It work hard to save the humans lives as much as possible, but theres sometimes a human who loses his life.
It seems to be like this.
I dont think that the enormous toki which is a spirit is lying,
its entirely the human side who is bad.
Understood, since I will kidnabring someone from the human side, please talk to him personally.
Umu, thank you.
***
I had Aya and the others to wait,
and moved towardExeterwho is the feudal lord of Toki town usingteleportation.
Uwa!What are you!?
Youve suddenly appeared!
Since the toki seem to want to talk, please come with me for a bit.
Wa?What are you saying?
If Im not mistaken, youre the one with Princess Elena
Stop complaining, come!
I grabbedExeterby the arm and teleported to where the toki was.
***
Gyaa-!!!
Exeter trembled with fear seeing the enormous toki.
What are you doing? Attack that toki quickly!
Dont attack it, please calm down.
What did you say!?
Look, its only you who is confused.
When Exeter timidly lifted his face,
there was the enormous tokis face in front of Exeters face.
Hiii!!
Exeter-san, did you lie tous?
I-, I lied, you say!?
I-, I dont know what you are talking about.
Its you guys side who started meddling with the toki, isnt it?
The toki just protects itself from the humans attack.
Is it wrong?
Who said such a thing?
I personally heard it from the toki.
Its impossible for a monster to speak human language!!
Thats wrong.
What did I say wrong!?
The toki is not a monster, but aspirit.
What..did you say!?
Well, its only the enormous toki who is a spirit,
the other toki are just common monsters.
As expected, you were mistaken, huh.
Please dont attack the toki anymore, okay?
T-, Thats not possible.
Why is it!?
Its a spirit, you know!?
Themagic stone of tokiis needed for thedivinationto be used.
If theres nodivination
Do you plan to slaughter a lot of spirits just for the sake ofdivination?
Its something unavoidable.
The magic stone can be duplicated if you ask the magic stone dealer.
No, themagic stone of tokiis a disposable magic stone.
A disposable magic stone cant be duplicated.
Is that so!?
I didnt know that.
Then, you better not perform adivinationanymore.
Does Elena think so too?
Yes,
This country will be destroyed if you make enemies of the spirits.
Exeter-sama, please promise me that you wont attack the toki anymore.
U-, Understood
I promise that I wont attack the toki anymore
The issue is settled with this!!
it isnt!!
We came here to have you perform adivination!!
-
Seiji of the humans, Im thankful to you for this times matter.
The enormous toki called out to me.
As thanks
Oh, are you giving me something as thanks!?
Lucky!
Lets perform aspirit contract.
Eh?
TheSpace-time magicbecame level 6.
Ehh-!!!
