Lureya blinked in confusion.
"All along, there have been elves who use a Spirit Contract on strange creatures. For example, last year, there was an elf boy who used the Life Spiritual Technique—that’s the magical technique required for the sumr howork—to give a paper doll life and then signed a Spirit Contract with it."
"A paper doll is virtual, right?"
"He drew that character on a life-sized doll."
"Such persistent love!"
Lureya was sowhat moved.
"So is there hope for my friend? The one she made a contract with is much better than a paper doll."
Nico crossed her arms.
"Of course, there’s hope. Signing a Spirit Contract with ordinary creatures doesn’t negatively affect the elf itself; it just wastes the one opportunity for a contract. Actually, as long as it’s not a creature outside of the Elf Forest, there’s no issue using a Spirit Contract on regular creatures."
Nico explained.
"The reason elves are required to go to the Wanling Mountain Range to find suitable Spiritual Objects to attempt a contract is because it’s essential for dramatically enhancing an elf’s strength. If the contract is used on other creatures, then they’ll only beco relatively ordinary elves, nowhere near as powerful as the elves who have signed contracts with the Mountain Range’s creatures."
"These elves won’t be able to beco powerful elves later. However, living a life as an ordinary elf in the Elf Forest is also a good choice. We respect the future of every elf."
Nico has been a teacher for about ten years and has considerable insight into these matters.
"So elves like cats and sign contracts with cats and end up opening a cat café on the shopping street; it’s not bad. So elves like flowers and plants, and sign contracts with living Spirit Flowers, becoming gardeners. So elves like the virtual world, signing contracts with pillows, becoming NEETs for life. So go to the Wanling Mountain Range, sign contracts with unicorns, improve their skills, graduate from higher schools, and set out across the continent as an Elf Ranger or join a Demon King subjugation team as an Elf Envoy."
Lureya listened quietly, gaining much knowledge.
"Regarding the signing of Spirit Contracts, there have always been so special cases that are tacitly accepted. But rember one thing, contracts with creatures outside the Elf Forest are strictly forbidden."
"Why, why?"
Lureya stepped back.
"It might bring a calamity to the entire Elf Forest."
Nico’s expression beca serious, and she looked directly at Lureya.
"Lureya, what did your friend make a contract with?"
"Ah, I don’t know about that. Oh, today potato chips are half-price at the supermarket!"
Frightened by Nico’s serious expression, Lureya swallowed and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
[End of flashback]
Lureya sat on the bed, her waist leaning against the headboard, looking down at her smooth stomach.
When Shami isn’t transmitting magic power to her, the magic array on her abdon generally doesn’t appear.
Because of what Nico said, she searched through the library for relevant books, wanting to find out what consequences misusing a Spirit Contract would have.
Lureya scratched her head in confusion.
"The main issue is that the Spirit Contract hasn’t been working as it should. Shami can force to do strange things through the Demon Envoy Contract, but the power of the Spirit Contract seems nonexistent. ...Though it clearly showed that the Spirit Contract was successful at that ti."
Her long golden hair a bit ssy, Lureya returned to her books.
Finally, she found so crucial information.
[After signing a Spirit Contract with a creature, you can summon the creature to your side during battle and issue commands to the contract object. The following are the steps for summoning a spirit...]
"Impossible, right."
After reading the steps, Lureya knowingly shook her head.
"Shami’s Demon Envoy Contract power has always been above my Spirit Contract, how could I summon him?"
At this mont, Lureya suddenly recalled a prompt that had appeared in her mind long ago.
[Spirit Contract: The contract object’s trust in the contract master is increasing, the power of the contract is growing.]
If it’s a Spirit Contract, then Shami is the contract object, and she is the contract master.
The so-called contract power growing, could it be...
Lureya eagerly looked at the steps to summon a spirit.
Chant the contract spell in Elf Language, open the spiritual channel between both parties, and use the spiritual power of the contractor to bring forth the contract object.
Lureya carefully chanted the contract spell.
The light and airy voice floated within the room. Her body glowed with a faint golden light.
After the chant ended, the golden light on her faded, and the room remained with only her.
"Well, as expected, it was ineffective..."
Lureya shrugged, a trace of regret appearing on her small face.
She closed the book.
Weariness from spending the entire night in the library crept over her.
Lureya slipped under the quilt, leaving only her head outside, staring blankly at the ceiling with her beautiful eyes.
She thought, and thought, becoming more and more agitated.
"Darn it! Why can Shami always do bad things to , but I can’t do bad things to him! This so-called Spirit Contract is useless!"
Feeling frustrated, she couldn’t fall asleep.
Thinking it over, since she’d studied hard all day, it was ti to reward herself.
Lureya decided to properly scold Shami in her mind, and use Water Magic to tire herself out, to fall asleep.
[Underwear Flying Out from Under the Quilt Technique]
The room was filled with soft rustling sounds.
Lureya was diligently practicing.
Suddenly, a golden light filled the room.
A gap appeared above the bed, and Shami, glowing from his chest, fell right beside Lureya.
The two were only separated by a thin white quilt, lying on the bed, she above it and he below it.
Lureya jumped with a start, her pupils dilated.
"It appeared! The thing in my mind materialized! But there’s an extra pair of underwear!"
"Dizzy, so dizzy."
Shami slowly sat up from the bed, painfully rubbing his forehead.
Just now, it felt as if he entered a peculiar space, wrapped in a twisted and ti-distorting space, the world seed to spin at that mont.
Shami opened his eyes, looked around, and noticed the environnt was very unfamiliar.
This was a very nice room, decorated very girlishly, and on the bookcase beside, there were so albums, the blonde girl inside seed sowhat familiar.
It seed to be Lureya.
Shami’s gaze traveled from afar to nearby to see Lureya, with her body curled up, her hands fidgeting under the quilt, face to face with him.
The blonde girl in the album was indeed Lureya!
It really was Shami!
"Lureya, why are you here?"
Shami asked in curiosity.
Wasn’t he just being studied by Elze in the second half?
"That’s what I should ask you!"
Secretly giving herself a cleansing spell under the quilt, Lureya realized this wasn’t a dream and stared at Shami in surprise.
"Why are you in my house, Shami? And only wearing underwear, were you doing sothing naughty just now?"
Shami fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that this is the Elf Forest?"
"Of course, why can a Demon King like you enter the Elf Forest!"
The elf maiden fell into a state of shock.
Shami was also stunned and quickly got out of bed.
"Why are the curtains still drawn in the morning, Lureya!"
"None of your business!"
The elf maiden was a bit shy, hurriedly picking up the underwear that fell beside the bed.
Shami secretly drew the curtain back a little and was taken aback by the scenery before him.
Outside the window was a world completely different from the human world.
Up close, neat and beautiful houses lined the mountainside, like pathways in the countryside, the green grass emitting a faint green light, growing vibrant little flowers within the light.
In the distance, one could see...
Before getting a good look, Lureya had already co to his side and quickly pulled the curtain back.
"Don’t poke your head out now, your chest is still glowing, what’s going on?"
Shami looked down; now only wearing underwear, a golden patterned magic array appeared on his chest, emitting a faint golden light.
"Wait, why do I have a ○ mark too! And it’s on my chest!"
Shami cried out.
