The Last Descendant of the Holy Sword Family

Physical Body

Oh shit I made a big mistake, I forgot he was dead. If I give him candy maybe he'll feel insulted, this is really a miscalculation. I'd better think of a reason to calm him down if he gets angry later.

"That's what?"

"Ah this is candy, humans sometimes like to eat it."

"Heh, is that delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious, but I'm sorry you might not be able to eat it."

"Why can't I eat it?"

How is this he asked curiously, what should I answer to his question. If my answer cannot be angry then perhaps what I give next will not satisfy him, if I cannot make him feel satisfied then I will never be able to have that blessing.

Now I have no other choice Maybe I should give a false reason to answer the question, no matter what happens I cannot lose the blessing.

"That's because it's only suitable for children to eat, elegant spirits like you might match the food that children often eat."

"That's it."

"Yes"

Good thing he believed in the reason I gave him, of course when I said he was an elegant spirit it was just a lie. In fact, his nature is no different from a spoiled child.

"Of course it's a lie, isn't it?"

"Eh?"

"When you say that an elegant spirit like me doesn't match candy, it's just a lie isn't it?"

Damn what I have to answer, like this is really a miscalculation. I thought he was just like a child who easily believed in others, but I was rightly miscalculated. I don't think he'll be able to tell when I'm lying, but I can't be honest with him either. If I'm honest then I'll forever miss the chance to get that blessing.

"What are you talking about where might I lie."

"Is that so, why don't you just give me that candy because I don't have a physical body?"

Bingo! He guessed it right, it's really a clever spirit, it looks like I've lost here. His attitude from the beginning was just an act to make me think that he was just a spirit who behaved like a child, but it turned out that he was a spirit that was always calm and wise. Perhaps it was her attitude like this that allowed her to become the queen of the wind fairies. Since he had guessed it correctly then I will answer him honestly this time.

"Huft, because it has been discovered, there is no other choice. As you guessed the reason I didn't give you that candy is because you don't have a physical body, without a physical body you wouldn't be able to eat it."

"hfffft, hahahah"

"i'm sorry I laughed, but who said I didn't have a physical body?"

What he meant, even if it was only obvious that he now had no physical body, he was now using the astral body.

"It's not clear that you only have an astral body."

"hahaha, before I was a queen of the wind fairies and now I am a high-level spirit, making a physical body was easy for me. Isn't there also a spirit around you that can manifest a physical body, isn't it a human?"

A spirit that can manifest a physical body, what he means is shiroki. Although it is true that Shiroki is a spirit that has a physical body, but the question now is where can he find out about shiroki. The distance from here to Shiroki place is quite far and also the entrance of this room has been closed, so we who are here should not be able to see it.

He has a lot of secrets around him, rather than answering his questions honestly I better try to dig up information from him. Although it seems like it will be very difficult to get information from him yet I will not tell the truth so easily.

"Around me there is a spirit that can have a physical body, what you mean is not that you see me alone here."

"Yes you're alone here, but the spirit I mean is behind that door that's with a girl, isn't it?"

I've guessed that he can find out about the shiroki and ziyun that's behind that door, actually from where he can find out that. If I were to lure him a little further I might be able to figure it out.

"Don't you know, can't the two of us here see what's outside because the door is closed? How can you be sure that behind that door is a girl and a spirit?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, we blessing guards can tell you about everything on the floor we're guarding, so to know that behind that door is a girl and a spirit is not that hard."

So that's how he can find out that behind the door there is shiroki and ziyun, even though I only slightly fished it but the results far exceeded my estimates. Earlier he had said we guard blessings then it means other than himself in another blessing place there is also a guard.

"Hahaha, since it has been discovered then there is nothing I need to hide anymore it is true that behind the door there is a girl and a spirit. So after knowing what you want?"

"Nothing, I just want to say that for me to form a physical body is easy."

What a strange spirit, after the story revolving like before but that's the only reason it's so strange. Right now I feel like laughing but it doesn't seem like a good time.

"Then why don't you show me that making a physical body is so easy for you. If you can then I'll give you this candy"

"Alright if that's what you want."

He began to do something to create a physical body for himself, this was the perfect opportunity to gather data about the spirit that made the physical body. Although Shiroki can make a physical body but he never did it in front of me, I mean when out of contract sign he always has used a physical body.

He gathered a considerable amount of mana, I felt all the gathering of mana solidify. A little while later after all the condensing mana I had felt had now disappeared and a spirit with its physical body appeared that was coming towards me.
