: Greed (1)
It was the day I left Saint-Dermain.
Before that, I had a place to go.
"Are you all packed?"
"Do you have any luggage? Anyway, I put it in a space."
"That is also true. Then let's go. Ars Magnae."
Ars Magna.
A manastone shop run by the greatest alchemist, Kiriel.
Siegfried decided to buy something cheap from Kiriel on the condition that he obtains the 'Heart of the Shadow Sheep' from the Gehena auction house.
And Jamie, too, signed a soul contract to let Kiriel enter the world of shadows in exchange for obtaining 'All Might'.
"By the way, Confucius."
On the way to Ars Magna, Siegfried asked in an indifferent voice.
"Then what was that stone?"
I didn't ask last night, so I just wanted to be buried forever, but again, I didn't ask right away, but remembered.
After all, there was no way the Archmage's memory was so bad that he missed one such trivial (?).
"Is that the power of stone when you let Darius's attack flow?"
"I can't fool the elder's eyes."
Absolutely. Ever since then, I've been an archmage. So, what the hell is that stone? I was going to ask you yesterday, but I didn't ask because I thought it would break the mood."
It seems that Siegfried was taking care of himself.
"It doesn't matter."
"It wasn't a big deal, but the power of the stone was absurd."
It was certainly unreasonable to dismiss 'All Might', which had full immunity to physical damage, as nothing.
"That's right. I was lucky."
"How lucky must Confucius be to get an item from a secret auction?"
"I also made a deal with Kiriel-sama. haha.
Seeing Jamie talking insignificantly, Siegfried said, 'Ah! That's right!'
" I think I need some explanation."
Jamie recounted everything from what had happened on the street at night to the details of his soul contract with Kiriel, leaving only the story of the past.
I was going to meet Kiriel soon, so I couldn't hide it.
"Soul Contract?!"
Ah. Please do not ask about the contract details. You know I can't speak.
If you make a soul contract, you cannot disclose the contents to anyone except the person involved. It was a strong non-disclosure clause that existed because each other's souls were at stake.
Even Siegfried could not easily ask because of that.
"Are you crazy?"
"It's not difficult for me, so I signed a contract, so don't worry."
" Worrying and sleeping, there is nothing a child can't really do."
Siegfried shook his head in disbelief.
Jamie couldn't help but laugh inwardly at that reaction.
'Who does this little guy keep saying he's a kid?'
Although it looks like a child on the outside, the soul inside it has transcended tens of thousands of years and has descended on this earth again.
Siegfried's reaction had to be cute.
Jamie heard Siegfried in one ear and let it out in the other.
"Are you listening?"
"I'll be more careful next time."
"Not caution, don't do it! Even so, I am the guardian right now, so please tell me. I know?
Yes Yes. I will."
anyway ."
Siegfried's nagging continued until he reached Ars Magna.
* * *
"Confucius, that is the problem. I'm overconfident of myself. I know you have great abilities, but no matter how much you set your eyes on that stone."
I want to cover my ears.
At first, I was listening cutely, but now I wondered if my eardrum was going to rupture.
Was Siegfried like this?
'I thought it was going to pass... .'
Siegfried was a persistent person in this regard.
There is a way to stop, but he emphasized and repeated the same words over and over again.
The fact that an eight-year-old made a soul contract would be a natural reaction, but Jamie was deeply regretting telling the truth.
after. For today, that's all.
"Oh, what about today?"
"I will teach Confucius common sense until he reaches the magical realm. Please be prepared."
Jamie had to cry.
Siegfried was a very wretched man. At least it was for Jamie.
"Stop going in."
When Siegfried opened the door of Ars Magna, a musty musty stinged the tip of his nose.
Jamie manipulated the air to keep the smell from reaching his nose.
"Kiriel. I brought things."
As if waiting for those words, Kiriel appeared from the air sitting on a large crystal ball.
She said, looking at Siegfried and Jamie alternately.
"Did you both do a good job?"
"Before that, Kiriel-sama was too much."
"Am I too much?"
"Confucius is not like a child, but he is an 8-year-old. Even if you were offered a soul pact, you should have turned it down."
"Is that kid a kid? day after day. Siegfried, you little bastard. Since when was the wizard who reached the end of class 6 a child?"
Siegfried furrowed his eyebrows.
"Magic isn't everything."
"That word is stupid. A wizard is one who seeks wisdom. Since when has magic been solved simply by talent?"
Magic is the product of all kinds of intertwined interests.
What was contained in it was not something that could be learned simply by having a good brain and excellent mana sensitivity.
When everything came together in a complex way, it could be called 'magical talent'.
"But you're only bound by your age?"
that's ."
"Siegfried. Shouldn't we be substituted for your childhood right now?
Siegfried kept his mouth shut and looked at Kiriel with fearful eyes. Kiriel just smiled and caught his gaze.
Then he glanced at Jamie and said.
child. It looks like this guy cares a lot about you."
Kiriel has been dealing with Siegfried for about five years. But I couldn't figure it out. He was the kind of person who always had a bright face and hid himself.
He has always been hiding his emotions and acting like water. But now, it's something I've never seen before with Jamie.
Does that mean that Jamie is important to Siegfried? It must have been a while since we actually met, but is there something special about Jamie?
'Well. Just thinking about that bold face... .'
He came here two days ago and proudly offered the contract of the soul.
"Anyway, did you bring something?"
" Before that, get this."
Siegfried pulled out a blank check in a slightly annoyed tone.
