“...... Star Spirit ...... Key? ”

The three adventure hunters who heard the words looked at each other subtly, as if they were a little impressed, but they couldn't say it all of a sudden.

"How many of you...... Mebis didn't listen to you well when he gave you magic lessons......"

"This ......"

Turning their heads away from Zela's stinging gaze, the guys knew at a glance that they must have been selective and only remembered what was relevant to them.

“…… I'm not interested in explaining the basics of magic to you, so I'll pick something important and tell you. ”

Holding the key between his fingers and standing it in front of the three of them, Teacher Zela, who knew that this year's students were not easy to bring, had to give a brief explanation to them.

"Star Spirit Magic", a type of ancient magic, belongs to the "Holding Magic".

If you want to become a real "Star Spirit Wizard", you must first get the key that can summon the "Star Spirit", and you must communicate with the "Star Spirit" to make a detailed agreement, and after the two parties reach a contract, you can officially summon it to fight for yourself.

Each star spirit corresponds to its own key, and what this key can open is the door connecting the "Star Spirit Realm" and the "Human Realm".

And among them, the color of the key is also different.

The silver one is an ordinary key, and the other golden one is very rare, and it is said that there are only twelve in the world, and the ones that can be summoned are the strongest group of star spirits in the "Zodiac Signs".

What Zela is in his hands now belongs to the latter category.

……

“…… And most importantly, for the Star Spirit Wizard, the 'contents of the contract' must be observed! ”

"Do you understand?"

"Hmm......"

The blonde youth with his eyes closed folded his arms and digested what Zela had said.

Volod and Precht understood, and their eyes as they looked at the golden key revealed a hint of wonder from time to time.

“…… All in all, it's a magic item that can summon some kind of "star spirit", right? ”

Finally clearing his mind, Yuri gave an answer that had just reached the passing line.

Yes, yes, but Zela always felt that whether it was the "Star Spirit Key" or the "Star Spirit Magic", why did it seem so cheap in this guy's mouth......

"More than that! Since it's such a fun item, why don't you give it a try! ”

“…… Alas? ”

I didn't understand it after talking about it for a long time, did I? Did he think of the 'Star Spirit Magic' as some kind of road goods?

"Please! Zela-sensei~"

（…… This kid! ）

The ass was half-rested on the table, and his tone was full of provocation.

- [Since what you said is so powerful, let's make a demonstration and call it out for us to see.] 】

That's what is expressed on the face.

In his opinion, the silver ordinary key is not easy to say, but if it is really as rare and special as the girl said, this golden key will definitely have some restrictions if it wants to be summoned.

The purpose was simple, he just wanted to hear the brunette girl say, 'I can't do it.'" Then frustrate the sharp spirit and raise the eyebrows once.

Don't dress up as an adult all day long, a little girl should look like a little girl, like Mebis?!

（...... ）

(kind of interesting...... ）

It's true that Zela hadn't been exposed to 'Star Spirit Magic' before, but since she was able to research some of her own original magic, it wasn't impossible to use a little magic from other systems, right?

Anyway, she had already made up her mind, even if she failed, it didn't matter, she knew a lot about the 'magic' that could make this stupid person selectively amnesia.

And they may not have imagined that the brunette girl 'knew' the origin of the chant and the pattern of the key.

That's easy to say......

“…… Hey, hey! Come on for real! ”

Under the surprised gaze of the three of them, Zela slowly raised the key in her hand.

(Then try it, I think the way the chant should be...... ）

"I ...... He is the one who connects the way to the astral realm. ”

(hmm...... The construction of the magic passage went surprisingly smoothly...... ）

"Thou ...... Sensing the call, it came through the door. ”

(So...... It's time to call 'her' by name! ）

The glow of the magic flow appeared at the keyport, and the ring-shaped rune circle turned into a door buckle and slowly grew larger.

"Open it! The door of the Virgin Palace! ”

The sound of the door opening was already ringing.

"Balloco!"

Accompanied by a pleasant ringtone and white smoke, the star spirit girl who responded to the call appeared there gracefully.

With a slight movement in her eyes, the young maid with cherry blossom hair, blue eyes, and a chain bracelet on her wrist came to Zela and bent down.

"Are you calling me? Master. ”

(That's a ...... Did it...... ）

Turning her head to look at the three adventure hunters with mouths that could stuff steamed buns, Zela smiled with satisfaction.

……

"First meeting, ladies and gentlemen, I am a star spirit born to serve my master, and my name is Balusgo."

With her hands in front of her, the maid girl standing on the edge of the wheelchair bowed slightly, and greeted the reacting trio at Zela's signal.

Because the content of the contract can't be determined for a while, the brown-haired girl and the maid girl discussed it and decided to slowly improve it in the future.

But as for worshipping Zela as his master, even if she is not a regular 'Star Spirit Wizard', this Golden Star Spirit has no opinion.

Maybe it was because he broke the seal and freed her from it before?

“…… Hmph, what's so strange about the maid lady who can be seen everywhere on the street like this, so what kind of only zodiac star spirit is this? ”

Obviously, he had just lost his mind because of Baluge's cute appearance, and now the stupid guy with a reddish face began to exert his 'fearless' spirit again.

Away from Yuri's flanks under the calm and terrifying gaze of the maid maid, Precht and Volod were still wise.

"Master, can I punish him?"

"Oh, just don't get killed."

“……！”

The Star Spirit Maiden's hands lit up with the signs of magic.

Now, it's her 'punishment time'.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

"Ahaha...... That's right. ”

After getting to know each other with Baluge under Zela's introduction, Mebis, who understood the cause and effect, also admired Yuri's unchanging behavior of death.

"So, can you talk about it? What's the trouble with our little princess? ”

Although the matter of Baluge suddenly diverted the attention of the hair-eared girl, Zela still carefully noticed her absent-mindedness.

Since I came back, I have been weird, either with my head down, or with my fingers stirring.

It's simply suffocating.

“......”

After a moment of silence, the little guy raised his head slightly, his face still full of confusion.

"Zela ......"

"We really ...... Have you helped the city find its future? ”

“……！”

（…… Sure enough, what happened...... ）

Sorting out the information from the muttering of Mebis little by little, this topic that gradually became serious also made the adventure hunters on the side fall into thought together.

……

(The Magic Council...... I didn't expect it to be them, but sure enough, the previous movement was too big...... ）

Knowing the root cause of Mebis' troubles, Zela also remembered the organization she didn't want to deal with.

If it's just a dark guild, it won't make them so troublesome, but the appearance of the 'demon' is different.

The monsters of the Book of Jelf have always been taboo on this continent, and it's no wonder they can't sit still.

But this is a real problem, and if they report the matter here like this, then the buffer period that the city has just recovered from the blow will be completely gone.

Whether it's "Demon Larabayi" or the super magic "Radiance", it's not something that can simply ignore the past.

In addition, there is indeed no guild here now, and the other party can be said to have taken advantage of the righteousness.

Looking at her companions who had fallen silent, Zela, who had already figured it out, sighed slightly.

Everything here seems complicated, but in fact, it is just missing an 'opportunity'.

A legend that has not departed from the trajectory of fate.

“…… Mebis, have you ever thought about it. ”

"If you don't have a 'guild', can't you just build one?"

“——！”

The gears belonging to the "fairy" began to turn.
