The mont Hinata asked that question, I froze for a second.
"Hey, Ayal... how are you able to do this?"
When I turned my head, I noticed Hinata staring directly at . Her blue eyes were fixed on , filled with curiosity. Anyone could tell that she had countless questions in her mind.
"Yeah, Ayal," Aira added, crossing her arms.
"You never told us how you can do sothing like that."
I turned my face away slightly and replied hesitantly.
"Actually... it’s a kind of power that I only discovered a few minutes ago."
Both of them blinked in shock.
"W-Wait... what?" Hinata said.
"Are you saying you only got that power just now?"
I scratched my cheek awkwardly and nodded.
"Yeah... I really did get it just a mont ago."
Aira and Hinata stared at silently, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"So... how exactly did you get that power?" Aira asked.
I looked away again and sighed.
"It’s a very long story. If I start explaining now, it might take a lot of ti."
But the mont I said that, Aira imdiately replied.
"So what? We have plenty of ti."
She looked around the vast empty land.
"It might take us several days to reach the city anyway."
Hinata nodded in agreent.
"Yeah, Ayal. You can tell us."
I looked at both of them. Their eyes were locked on , waiting for an answer.
Seeing their serious expressions, I sighed and finally gave up.
"...Alright. I’ll tell you."
After taking a breath, I slowly raised the sword in my hand.
"The sword I’m holding right now... actually has a spirit living inside it."
Both of them froze.
"And right now... I’m its master."
"When I was thinking about how to save you two earlier... that spirit ca out and helped us."
Aira widened her eyes.
"W-Wait... are you saying the sword in your hand contains a spirit?"
I smiled slightly.
"Yeah. You guessed right."
Hinata leaned forward excitedly.
"So... that spirit helped us?"
"Yes."
Then I asked them with a grin.
"Do you want to et her?"
"YES!"
Both of them answered at the sa ti.
I chuckled.
"Alright then."
I raised the sword slightly.
"Milia."
For a mont, nothing happened.
Then suddenly—
A soft light began to shine from the sword.
The light slowly gathered in front of us.
And in the next mont...
A girl appeared.
She had long snow-white hair that flowed down like silk, and her bright blue eyes slowly opened.
She looked straight at .
"Master... did you call for ?"
The mont Hinata and Aira saw her, they gasped.
"W-Wow..." Hinata whispered.
"She’s beautiful..." Aira muttered.
They quickly walked toward Milia and began circling around her, examining her like she was so kind of rare treasure.
"Look at her hair!" Aira said while gently touching it.
"It’s completely white!"
"Yeah..." Hinata replied with a blush.
"It’s really pretty."
anwhile, Milia just stood there calmly.
Then she looked at .
"Master?"
"What is it?" I replied.
I cleared my throat.
"Milia, tell them what you can do."
She nodded obediently.
"As you wish, Master."
She then faced Hinata and Aira.
"I am a Sword Spirit."
"I have accepted Master Ayal as my owner."
"Anything my master commands... I will obey."
"And if Master wishes to do anything with ... he is completely free to do so."
The mont those words left her mouth—
My brain stopped.
"W-WHAT?!"
I imdiately covered her mouth with my hand.
"W-What are you saying?!"
Hinata and Aira both froze.
"Ayal... what did she just say?" Hinata asked with a red face.
"N-Nothing! Nothing at all!"
I waved my hands nervously.
"I’ve never done anything like that with her!"
Both Hinata and Aira turned bright red.
Hinata quickly turned her face away.
"W-Why would she say sothing like that?!"
I quickly grabbed Milia’s arm and dragged her a few steps away.
"What are you saying in front of them?!" I whispered angrily.
She smiled innocently.
"But I only spoke the truth, Master."
"I told you before that you would receive many benefits."
"Was I lying?"
I groaned.
"If I knew this would happen... I would never have beco your master."
Milia simply giggled.
"I thought that’s why you were acting strangely earlier."
Just then—
Aira shouted from behind us.
"Hey! What are you two talking about over there?!"
I quickly turned around.
"N-Nothing! We’re not talking about anything strange!"
I coughed awkwardly.
"A-Anyway... this is Milia."
"The Sword Spirit who helped us earlier."
"The reason everyone in that place couldn’t move... was because of her power."
Both girls looked at Milia again.
"So she’s the one who did that..." Hinata whispered.
I nodded.
"Yeah."
"And when we escaped earlier... it was also thanks to Milia’s teleportation ability."
Aira suddenly stepped closer to Milia.
"So you’re the one who teleported us?"
Milia nodded politely.
"Yes."
"I knew you had many questions."
"But I acted for your safety."
"Aira... do you rember that strange feeling you had earlier?"
Aira blinked.
"You an... when I felt like sothing was wrong with them?"
Milia nodded again.
"I was the one whispering to your mind."
"I didn’t want Master or his friends to get hurt."
Aira’s eyes widened.
"So it was you..."
I also stared at Milia in surprise.
"So that ans..."
"You’re the reason Aira suddenly realized we were in danger?"
Milia simply smiled.
"Yes."
I felt shocked.
I had never imagined she could do sothing like that.
While I was thinking about it—
Suddenly Hinata spoke.
"If you can do all that... then you should know what’s happening here too, right?"
I blinked.
She was right.
If Milia could do so many things... maybe she knew what was going on.
I looked at Milia seriously.
"Milia... do you know what’s happening here?"
She looked at .
Then she smiled softly.
"I’m sorry, Master."
"I don’t know."
"What?" I said in disbelief.
"You really don’t know?"
She shook her head slowly.
"No."
"But... I can tell you one thing."
Her expression suddenly beca serious.
"The ones behind this... are extrely powerful."
"Because when I was speaking to Aira’s mind earlier..."
"I felt a terrifying presence
"Master... there is sothing important I wish to tell you."
