Whee~ I’m flying! I’m currently in the middle of a mission. A very, very important mission that involves Master’s life. It’s called responsibility!
Of course, I spoke to the Dwarf child before I left! Master had two requests, after all. I didn’t forget! See, I’m so smart?
The Dwarf child could only see me as light, but he looked very surprised when I spoke. He had a very tired face because he’d been channeling magic power into the weird drawing at his feet… I wonder why he’s doing that? Humans are so hard to understand. I wonder if Master was doing the same, and that’s why she was exhausted?
Well, let’s not think about things I don’t understand! I’ve completed the first mission! I told him to talk to his contract spirit so he can use magic whenever the opportunity arises. That boy’s first contract spirit was an earth spirit. Maybe, I think? I can’t really tell for sure, because it was inside the magic stone!
I properly informed Fuu, Homura, and Shizuku too! Master didn’t tell me to do that, but I want to protect her! Shou-chan’s so considerate! I’m amazing, right?
So, my mission here is complete. That’s why I’m flying, whee~! It’s too slow if I fly with a whoosh or a zoom. I have to fly with a wheee~! Does that make sense?
But I don’t know where to go. Because I don’t know where Master’s companions are. But I do have a landmark!
It’s magic power. There are barely any magic particles on this continent, so the magic power you find occasionally is easy to spot. My companions have magic power, so I thought if I head for a place where it feels easier to be, I should find them!
It’s incredibly hard to be in a place with no magic particles. Shizuku said it feels like being underwater.
But Shou-chan is invincible right now because Master called my real name! I can’t use magic power liberally because I didn’t get much, but… I’ll definitely find them before I run out of power! And then Master will praise me!
『 ? There’s something over there. Nn, and over there too! 』
There were small clusters of magic power, so I went over to take a look. Ah, this is Shadow Eagle’s magic power! That black guy who protects Master!
They’re placed at intervals… If I follow them, I’ll find the Shadow Eagle, right? Master is amazing. Her companions really did come to this continent!
If that’s the case, then wheee~!
I’ll get there in a flash!
Is this… a castle? A human continent castle, it looks like. I found my target in one of the rooms. The Shadow Eagle, the Don, the Demon King, and that person I sometimes see at the reception desk! And is that the king of this castle? And then a few more people in armor.
Hmm, hmm, it’s annoying, so I wonder if it’s okay to just project my voice for everyone here to hear? I can choose who I speak to, but that would use up a bit more of the precious magic power Master gave me. Is it okay? It’s okay, right! This is what you call an emergency. Alright, Shou-chan’s getting pumped up!
『Help meeee!』
” ” “!?” ” ”
When I shouted, everyone here widened their eyes in surprise. Yes, yes, they heard me. After confirming that, I used a little magic power so they could see me.
“Wh-What!? A pale pink light…?”
The human king-like person exclaimed, and then the Don shouted, “Meg’s spirit!?” That’s why I said, yes, I am!
『It’s an emergency! Help me!』
“Calm down, voice spirit. What happened!? More importantly, where’s Meg!?”
The Don stood up and started questioning me. He’s a bit scary. You’re the one who needs to calm down. But Shou-chan will carry out her mission without crying!
『Master has been captured. With a Dwarf and a human boy! And it hurts, and she’s suffering! Please help her!!』
“In a lot of pain…?”
“Suffering…?”
“Is she… injured…?”
When I reported, the Don, the Demon King, and the Shadow Eagle muttered in low voices. Scary! I’m scared!
“Where! Where are they!?”
The Don shouted. It’s scary! But they must be worried about Master. I told the Shadow Eagle,
『I found Shadow Eagle’s magic power nearby. I followed 56 of them to get here! Master is, um, in a room underground, in the forest!』
“56, you say… Gil, you understand?”
Because Shou-chan doesn’t know anything about this continent… So I thought I’d remember the number. Was it useless?
“I understand. That’s enough information. I’m grateful, voice spirit.”
“Wait, wait, Gil! Don’t be hasty! If you panic now, even things that can be done won’t be!”
It was the Don who stopped the Shadow Eagle, who looked like he was about to jump through the shadows immediately. Then he asked me a few questions.
“Gil can go to that magic power source instantaneously. But you, how long will it take you to get there?”
『Um, I don’t know, but… If it’s the hourglass they use at the tea shop in the guild, I flipped it over 3 or 4 times, maybe?』
“About 15 to 20 minutes, huh… That’s a bit long.”
Shou-chan knows a little about time too! Amazing, right! Fufufu!
But the Don started to think with his arms crossed. He’s not praising me. Sniff.
“Gil would want to go as soon as possible, but even if he gets to where the Shadow Bird is, he’d need someone to guide him from there, right? So first, we’ll have the voice spirit return there and wait. Then you can guide him. …Can we ask that of you, voice spirit?”
It’s sad he’s not praising me, but this is an emergency! Shou-chan will endure it! For Master’s sake!
『Got it! Shadow Eagle, Shou-chan will hurry! Wheee~!』
“Ah… I’m counting on you. Let’s meet over there.”
We need to conserve magic power if it’s decided! I’ll make it so they can’t see me and return the way I came immediately! I don’t know the way, but I remember where Shadow Eagle’s magic power is, so all I have to do is follow 56 of them, it’s easy. I can count, so it’s fine! I have to make sure I don’t make any mistakes!
It seems like the Don and the others are still talking. A strategy meeting, maybe? But whatever! They’re talking for Master’s sake!
Alright, I’ve completed half the mission! Wait for me, Master! Shou-chan will be back soon, with Shadow Eagle!
