At Shiro's house, a petite guest was recently welcomed.
It was a fairly beautiful young girl, and from the outside, she was about 14 years old.
She has long blue hair and pupils, and has pointed ears that are obviously different from ordinary people, but what attracts the eyes of Wei Gong Shilang the most is not her ears, but her ponytail that looks very attractive.
Shiro, who has always been honest, somehow always wants to touch it when he sees it.
As for why the young girl lived in Shiro's house, it began with the night three days ago.
It was a rainy night, and Shiro, who had returned late because he was alone cleaning the school dojo,
In order to get home as soon as possible, he took shortcuts that he did not usually take.
Through the woods, Shiro looked ahead, and sure enough, as he remembered,
There is a sheep gut trail that stretches forward.
After confirming that he had taken the wrong path, he began to stride forward,
Because tonight's rain is too heavy, if you don't hurry up, even if you hold the umbrella, I am afraid that I will be drenched.
However, he hurried to the road, but did not ignore the movement around him.
Not long after he left, he heard a movement not far away, which was the rustling sound of grass and trees colliding and rubbing.
If ordinary people hear this kind of sound in this situation, I am afraid that the first reaction is to run away with all their might.
But Shiro was different, and the first thing he thought about was, was there anyone who needed help?
Thinking of this, he was no longer in a hurry to go home, but followed the direction where the sound came from.
Walking, watching, walking, watching,
He eventually found a girl in a patch of grass who had fallen to the ground and looked extremely weak.
So, Shiro didn't think about it, so he carried the girl back home.
"Shiro, good morning."
A sweet voice like a silver bell interrupted Shiro's memories,
Shiro subconsciously looked back and saw the girl who had been rescued by himself, standing in front of him.
“...... Ah well, good morning, caster. ”
Shiro's answer was a little blunt, and there seemed to be a bit of embarrassment between his words.
"Shiro, it's not too early, aren't you ready to go to school?"
"Oh, it's already time, I have to go, or I'll be late."
After saying this, Shiro fled from the girl as if he were running for his life.
And his actions, the girl can see clearly, but did not stop, but looked at his back and smiled.
“...... After all, it's normal to feel embarrassed when something like that happens——""
She said to herself, and soon her cheeks turned red, as if remembering something shy,
"But then again, this man is really funny."
She stared blankly at the empty entrance, and the smile on her face grew brighter.
When I first saw Shiro on a rainy night,
The girl was actually a little afraid, because her previous lord was a man, and she was also a magician who could sacrifice the lives of others without hesitation to achieve her goal, and she was worried that the man in front of her was also a fierce magician like her former lord.
Her worries proved superfluous.
The man had no intention of killing her, and after taking her home, he only looked after her tenderly.
Asked how she felt, without saying a word else.
"I... The situation is not very good now..."
Looking at Shiro's not very handsome face, the vigilance level in the girl's heart began to slowly decrease,
"You have probably already discovered that I am not a human but a slave, because there is no Imperial Lord, and now it is possible that the spirit base will dissipate at any time."
"Slave? Lord? ”
Shiro listened to her words, scratched his head with a troubled face and continued,
"I don't understand what you're saying."
The girl opened her mouth slightly in surprise
“...... Aren't you Winterwood's magician? Why don't you know these things? ”
"Well, I'm barely a magician, but I don't know anything about magic."
The person in front of him, because of the girl's surprise, showed shame.
The girl was completely relieved by the boy's behavior.
It seemed that he was just an ordinary man who knew some magic—she had made an accurate judgment about the young savior in her mind.
"But then things are even more troublesome..."
Suddenly, after thinking of something annoying, the girl's brow wrinkled again.
"Have you encountered any difficulties, and is there anything I can do to help you?"
Shiro heard the girl's self-talk, and the spirit of helping others came into play again.
The girl heard the words, lifted her head with difficulty, and looked at this warm-hearted teenager sheepishly.
“...... Are you really willing to help me? ”
"Of course, I can help."
Shiro's answer did not hesitate a bit, which made Medea hesitate even more.
“...... Even if that's busy... It will get you into a whirlpool of trouble, and even your life will be in danger, are you willing to help? ”
After asking such tentatively, she was stunned to see the person in front of her.
But he was only stunned for a moment, and the next second he replied calmly,
"Well, yes, as long as I can help you, even if there is a risk, I am not afraid."
This time it was the girl's turn to be stunned, she listened to Shiro's gentle and firm words, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"But how do you want me to help you?"
It wasn't until Shiro's question was asked that the girl eased up.
"Hmmm... Yes... But before that, there's one thing I'm going to tell you. ”
"What?"
"My real name is Medea, and I won't want you or your name from now on."
"Medea... I see..."
Shiro nodded and continued,
"Then I'll introduce myself, my name is Shiro Uemiya."
"Shiro Uemiya... Well, I remember. ”
Medea also nodded, and then smiled slightly at Shiro,
This laugh actually made Shiro feel a little embarrassed.
"Then again, how can I help you?"
In order to cover up his embarrassment, he quickly opened his mouth to divert his attention.
The girl tilted her head, thought about it for a moment, and then replied,
"First of all, I need you to help me replenish my magic."
"Replenish mana?"
Shiro looked at the girl and said with some embarrassment,
"That, as I just said, although I am barely a magician, I don't know anything about magic, so..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it, you just have to cooperate with me."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Medea.
"Oh, you know, that's the best, so what am I going to do now?"
"What you're going to do now is very simple, look me in the eye."
"Is that all?"
Shiro didn't know much about magic, and didn't understand the point of just looking.
The girl didn't answer Shiro's words, just looked at him and smiled.
That smile was extraordinary, with a brilliance far beyond her age, and at once captured Shiro and made him indulge in it.
When Shiro returned to his senses, he found that he could not move.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Medea still had a seductive smile on her face,
"You don't have to resist, cooperate with me and give me everything."
Her voice became softer and more ethereal, soothing Shiro's nervous mood and calming him down.
After calming Shiro, Medea herself took a deep breath,
After all, she was going to start replenishing the magic, and it was still a way of exchanging bodily fluids, which she herself had never tried before.
But there is no way, who is called Shiro is a layman, only through this method, can we maximize the replenishment of magic.
“...... If the object is your words, I will not complain about anything..."
She looked at Shiro, who was lying on the bed, who had become groggy, and said to herself with a red face,
As he spoke, he also faded all his clothes,
Before taking the last step, she said this to the man in front of her like a prayer,
"I hope you won't let me down in the future..."
So that night, spring was in full swing.
When Shiro opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.
As his consciousness gradually recovered, the memory of last night also came to his mind little by little.
Soon, Medea, who was sitting leisurely in the living room drinking black tea, heard a wail.
Ten minutes later, Shiro got dressed, walked to the living room with an embarrassed face, and sat down opposite the girl.
“...... That, last night... That..."
There were some things that Shi Lang wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say them, so he had to become fragmented.
But the girl seemed to expect this reaction from Shiro, and Yun said softly,
"Well, last night we replenished our magic through experience exchange, and it seems that the effect is still very good."
"Huh? Hmmm..."
Shiro was a little confused that he didn't expect Medea to be so calm,
He remembered last night's conversation again, and then he suddenly realized,
It turned out that when she said help, she meant this.
It's just that after last night's events, Shiro doesn't know how to face this girl,
They were obviously not lovers, but she gave herself the girl's most precious thing, which made him a little overwhelmed.
“...... Ah yes, you just called me Lord, right, what does that mean? ”
In desperation, he had to change the subject.
"Ah, didn't I tell you?"
When I made up for the demon with you last night, I also signed a contract with you by the way, and you are now my master. ”
"Oh well, it turns out... so......?
Huh? ——! ”
Shiro did not react for a moment, but when he reacted, he panicked again and cried out loudly.
On the other hand, Medea seemed to like to see his panicked look, so she added another fire,
"Then Lord, you must take on the responsibility of keeping me in this world."
But Shiro did not panic as much as she expected, on the contrary, he was suddenly silent,
A moment later he strode toward Medea, and before Medea could figure out what Shiro wanted to do, he clasped the girl's hand.
"Of course, this responsibility, I will seriously assume it!"
Perhaps because Shiro was too close when he said this, or because Medea was looked at so seriously by a man for the first time, Shiro's words worked very well.
It made Medea, who had always been strong and calm, perfectly broken, from the cheeks to the roots of the ears, all of which were flushed.
“...... Stupid, stupid, you're too close! ”
After half a day of bowing her head, Medea, whose mind was blank, squeezed this sentence out of her mouth.
Along with this sentence, there is also the embodiment of Medea's desire to pull away - her hands work together to push Shi Lang away.
However, because she was too panicked, Medea forgot to stay for a while.
"Huh?
Ahhh——! ”
So with this scream, the guards who were pushed by the followers with all their might,
It took off in place, and only after seven or eight meters of taking off did it land because it hit the wall.
