The little boy was wearing a wide white pajamas, which felt the size of the two of them, and the bottom of the pajamas had been dragged to the ground, covering the little boy's whole body, and only a pair of small feet were exposed.

The little boy's face was a little sickly pale, and he held a toy bear in his right hand, and looked at Nataya with a smile.

"Big sister, can you see me?"

The little boy smiled cutely and his voice was ethereal.

It's just that his whole body is slightly transparent, as if it is some kind of projection, and it feels like a gust of wind can blow him away.

"You, you, you, you......!"

Nataya was completely unaware of the little boy's presence, and was startled to see him suddenly.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Ethereal, the sky is empty, the spirit is the ethereal spirit... Uh~ Although it seems to be about the same, my name is called Ethereal. ”

（··· ）

The little boy's self-introduction almost got Nataya in.

"You... Is it a ghost?"

Although Nataya was afraid of the ghosts and the like, her instincts told her that the little boy in front of her was not dangerous to her.

"Puff, puff, please call me by my name—ethereal. ”

Ethereal hands on his hips, pretending to be angry, but it looks... The effect is not obvious, on the contrary, there are some cuties.

"Eh~ Ethereal brother, are you a ghost??"

"Well, I'm a ghost. ”

Ethereal nodded, very proudly.

Immediately after, he seemed to react to something, and immediately changed his words.

"Phew, your whole family is a ghost, I'm not a ghost. ”

"Eh~ My whole family is indeed ghosts now. ”

Nataya is right, isn't her whole family killed in the village of Xion, aren't they all ghosts now?

"Uh~ Okay, I was wrong! I'm actually the patron saint of this land. ”

Ethereal said proudly.

"Patronus?"

Nataya doesn't believe in the existence of gods, she would rather believe that there are ghosts living in the world than believe that there are gods in this world.

(If...) If God really existed, then the village of Hion would not be ······ ）

"Oh, don't you believe what I say? I can see a lot of distrust in your eyes. ”

"I believe it, of course I believe it! The ethereal brother is so cute, how could I not believe it?"

Nataya said with a grin.

"Poof, you just don't believe it! Hmph, I'm leaving. ”

(So what are you here for!)

Nataya complained silently in her heart.

I don't know what this ethereal spirit is all about, but Nataya wishes he had left here sooner.

"Oh, yes~ yes! I almost forgot to get down to business. ”

Just as Ethereal was about to turn away, something suddenly occurred to him.

I saw Ethereal raise his head high, put his two palms on either side of his mouth, and use it as a trumpet.

"Come out, everyone!"

The ethereal move really scared Nataya.

Suddenly, a lot of white smoke came out of the land centered on the ethereal and Nataya, which was also translucent.

The white smoke slowly drifted up, and when it reached a certain height, it turned into a humanoid form, some male, some female, some human, and some orcs······ The number of them is quite large, there are as many as two or three hundred!

"This is..."

"They're the real ghosts!"

······

"Ah~ah! Mom, save me!"

As soon as she heard these ghosts, Nataya's legs trembled in fright, and she wanted to call out her deceased mother to save herself.

"Nataya, don't be afraid, there is a rabbit here, don't say anything about ghosts, even if Renault, who is countless times more terrifying than a ghost, is here, I will help you beat him away." ”

Tom jumped on Nataya's shoulder to comfort her.

Although he said so, Tom already thought that Nataya had been scared crazy.

(What ghost, why didn't I see it?)

The ethereal presence was something that only Nataya could see, and all Tom could see was a white fog.

"Haha, what a cute little bunny! you have a pretty good friend!"

Ethereal covered his little mouth and said hehe.

"Tom..."

Nataya was thoroughly touched by Tom's actions.

But what she didn't know was that Tom thought she was crazy, and the best way to comfort the mentally insane was to follow her delusions, so there was Tom's above remarks.

"Haha... Don't be afraid. Take a closer look at them!"

Nataya followed the ethereal inducement, plucked up her courage and looked around, she herself knew that this would not work, and she had to overcome her fear of ghosts.

Slowly putting down the jade hand that was covering her eyes, Nataya found that the ghosts made of white smoke were all standing behind the ethereal at the moment, and the white flowers were dizzying.

"Actually, they're all resentful spirits here!"

"Wraiths?"

Nataya said weakly.

Nataya now looks like a three-year-old girl, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and if Renault sees her, she will definitely laugh at her to the sea.

"Don't you wonder how that creature came out of there?"

Ethereal pointed to Nataya's back, where it was Ragnar who was burying the bodies of the two of them.

"But I don't know!"

Nataya shook her head.

"Hey, no way. I'll tell you!"

"This island was a very beautiful place many years ago, with birds singing and flowers and lush fruit forests, where all the orcs lived happily. But one day, an uninvited guest came to this beautiful and quiet island, and that was a human alchemist. ”

(Alchemist?, is that the scientist?)

Nataya didn't interrupt the ethereal words and continued listening.

"The alchemist built his own experimental base in the middle of the island, and the main purpose seems to be to study biological evolution, but I don't seem to know exactly what it is. In short, these ghosts are the victims of his experiments!"

"What about Ragnar?"

One day, a human accidentally came to this island, he noticed something unusual here, and finally learned of the existence of the alchemist after investigating, and the human wanted to destroy the alchemist's research base, but ultimately failed. He was captured alive and used as an experiment. ”
