It Became an Absolutely Precious Pet for Aspiring Warriors

two days later.

“Stop!”

Leontria, the capital of the kingdom.

We arrived at the royal castle located in the center.

Thanks to the royal family’s improved carriage, it only took two days to reach the capital. If you rest here for a day, the banquet will begin tomorrow.

“Confirmation completed. Please come in.”

The guard exchanged a few words with Chalosi and then let the carriage pass through the royal castle.

A city surrounded by huge walls.

Another large double wall surrounds the inside.

Hearty.

Of course it was very spacious.

The entire area inside these walls is the site of the royal castle.

Although the previous work was great, it was still not comparable to the royal castle.

Around the huge royal castle where state affairs are conducted, all buildings are gathered together, including various department buildings, knights, magic corps, and quarters.

The power of the city of Leontria itself was great, but the castle itself was so well built that a siege could be fought.

The Kingdom of Leonis is one of the wealthy and powerful countries just below the Empire.

Perhaps because of this, the capital is also so strong.

“Everyone get off.”

“Whoa!~”

“Is this the royal castle? It’s so spacious!!”

“This is my first time coming here. There are probably a lot of high-ranking people walking around, right?”

“Most of them are from noble families?”

“Ugh~ I’m nervous. I need to be as careful as I can with my words and actions.”

Since most of the cadets were entering the royal castle for the first time, both nobles and commoners were equally amazed. Except for a few guys.

Medis.

In other words, it’s a confused expression. It must have something to do with the royal family.

I’m starting to get a clue.

Let me dig into it little by little.

In addition, there is one cadet with a sour expression.

Felix.

That guy… He was the leader of the same team as Ronica during the first actual training at the training center. Did you say he was from the Magic Tower as a 30th class cadet?

Actually, I don’t really remember, but he was one of the best cadets in the training camp.

It feels like I’ve been to the castle many times before.

I turned my head.

This time, I saw a group of noble cadets with an expression of wonder.

Even though he was taken aback by the imposing building, he was showing off and showing off that this was natural. Looking closely, I saw that they were Light Moon cadets.

Among them, a blue-haired cadet stands out.

Is Light Moon the leader?

He appears to be an outstanding talent like Felix.

… I hope you don’t come here and start a fight.

“Sort them all. I will give you a room in the royal castle where you can rest.”

““Yes!”“

The training camp group entered a tall building next to a well-decorated flower garden. This seemed like a place to stay when guests or foreign envoys came.

Each person returned their weapons upon entering. It will be paid again during friendly competitions.

Entering the royal guest quarters.

“This instructor’s control is over. From now on, royal ushers will personally guide you, so follow the rules carefully and enjoy the banquet safely.”

“Yes!!”

“I plan to stay on the first floor, so if you have any problems, please come to me right away.”

After finishing his explanation, Chalosi left.

These were all luxurious rooms, and servants were always on standby in the hallways.

Rooms also vary depending on the floor.

Rooms ranged from single rooms to shared rooms, but the group at the training center were assigned to double rooms.

Of course, Ronica and Fiona are roommates.

I followed the guide’s instructions and entered the room.

The guide gave us various precautions and manuals, and explained the various schedules and how freely we could operate.

The banquet starts tomorrow.

Today is a free day.

Therefore, you can visit some places such as lodgings, flower gardens, and dance halls. Additionally, there are guides everywhere, so it will be easy to find out which areas are off-limits.

“Then. Please ring the bell in time for dinner. I’ll send you some food.”

“Yes!!”

Squeak~

The female guide left.

Immediately Ronika and Fiona jumped up.

“Freedom!~”

“Hurrah. Long live!”

The banquet starts tomorrow.

Although limited, you can move around the castle.

Exploring an unknown space. It’s the best situation for two people full of curiosity.

That means you can play.

If that’s the case.

I might as well take a look.

The two immediately left the royal residence.

The flower garden spread out right in front welcomes them. Not only Ronica, but other cadets are also coming out and banding together.

That’s how the free tour began.

“Let’s go to the place where the royal knights train!”

“That’s good!”

“I’m curious too.”

Lapis and Astradic.

“I want to go to the library. I heard that there are many magic books.”

“Gasp! Then I want to go too!”

Fiona and Ronica.

Before exploring the castle, Ronica’s group was split into two. As the castle is large, each person plans to visit the place they want and then have a conversation.

Anyway, everyone will go out and have fun.

There is no need to waste time.

Let’s research Caesar.

‘I’m going to investigate the royal castle alone for a moment.’

‘huh? inspection?’

‘I plan to check what kind of person the king of this country is.’

‘The King?’

‘Can I come back?’

‘Yes… This is going to be hard to go along with. ‘Don’t worry, just bring it!’

‘If something dangerous happens-’

‘I’ll summon you right away! Hehe.’

‘… then.’

fault.

Tadadat!

It came down from my shoulder and ran straight.

First, I plan to infiltrate the largest castle in the center.

Isn’t there a king somewhere in there?

[Where are you going?]

A small, translucent Atrot followed me as I ran.

This guy has no presence and keeps popping up when we forget about it.

We stopped for a moment and talked.

[I am trying to investigate what kind of place this is.]

[Why?]

[…] To be exact, the King is a bit suspicious, so I’d like to spy on him. I contacted Rauf and he said he was spying on my student.]

[Hmm. Is Rauf that stuffy bone? Besides, he’s the king… Sounds fun.]

[Are you going to keep following me?]

[It would be more fun to watch you jumping around than to look around the palace alone. Go ahead and do what you have to do.]

[…] … … .]

Without answering, I walked slowly on all fours.

What I have done so far

He doesn’t show up except when he goes out alone in the city or when he talks to us. All I can do is just watch.

Even though I used up my mana, I never did anything that was disruptive.

I’ll just keep watching from here.

It won’t be a hindrance.

It would be better to pretend it doesn’t exist.

If so, ignore it and move on –

width.

[oh! You guy. It’s quite fluffy.]

[…] … What are you doing?]

Suddenly, a small Atrot climbed onto his back.

I turned my head and glared at him very disapprovingly.

[Pahaha!- Try running. It’s nice that it’s warmer than I thought. I finally realized why your child touches you without stopping.]

[…] Do you want to be reverse summoned?]

[Ugh… If you keep doing something, are you threatening me with that? How dare this body?]

[I hope you don’t do anything that would make you intimidated.]

[Keuhum!… Well then, let me suggest one thing. I will also lend my strength to investigating the royal castle. Under the condition that you let me sit here.]

[If it’s a spirit, shouldn’t it help? I don’t see the need to summon you. You can’t help, but you’re putting conditions on it.]

[Ugh… This body’s help is invaluable! If you accept my conditions, I will definitely give you better, more advanced, and more valuable information than yours! It will be of great help, not just a little!!]

[I don’t have much credibility.]

[under! Then it’s a bet. I will bring you all the news about the royal castle.]

[…] … I didn’t say I would give you a ride. If you ask for useful information, think about it.]

[Hehe. Then look forward to it.]

Phew!~

Artrot rose high and disappeared.

But he said he would climb on his back… For an Art Rott, he is very motivated.

Is my fur that soft?

Do it. I also use Myorin as a cushion every time he approaches, so it’s not my place to say anything. It was soft and comfortable.

Moreover, Atrot is a spirit that is invisible to others and can move around as much as he likes, so it wouldn’t be that difficult to investigate something.

Is it a bet worth making?

I wonder if they will ask for good information, but… .

Not long after I thought this, I felt my mana draining away in clumps.

… What are you trying to do, you idiot?

high altitude.

A position higher than the clouds.

A being that flutters ice to its fullest extent.

Atrot grinned.

“It’s time to show the greatness of this body!”

And then he confidently climbs on that soft back and places it at my feet!! He smiled and looked down.

This place is so high that you can see not only the castle but also the city at a glance.

In that state, I stretched out my hand.

The air becomes cold.

And soon.

Sharak~

Hwii~

cold wind.

Snow began to fall from the clouds.

The weather, which had been bright just a moment ago, was changing in an instant.

In other words, it is winter.

“… Snow?”

“What is it? Why is it snowing here?”

Below, Lapis and Astradik look up at the sky in confusion.

“Oh my. Why is there snow in this weather?”

“Well. Has the weather gone senile?”

The employees of the royal castle also tilted their heads.

Of course, there are some who thought nothing of it. They muttered:

“It will stop soon.”

But his eyes started to get bigger and bigger.

More snow.

A colder chill.

Before we knew it, the city began to be covered in snow.

The place where the snow piles up and the cold wind blows… .

[Hehe. It looks good.]

It became Artrot’s field of vision.

The power of the Spirit King.

She can become the snow, the ice itself, and examine it. This made it possible to monitor not only the royal castle but the entire city.

I closed my eyes for a moment and concentrated.

Even the people at the window looking out with wide eyes felt it.

everything is visible

In addition to this.

Sreuk.

Slurp~

“Jjol!!”

A snowman the size of an ant was created and moved in a snow-covered castle.

Another amazing power gained by becoming the Spirit King.

Extremely cold place.

Where it snows.

A frozen place.

By assimilating into it, you can secure your vision and at the same time move like your own body.

Moist~

Hundreds of snowmen so small that they could not be seen scattered in all directions and began to infiltrate the royal palace and various buildings.

Wow.

The area where the snowman’s hand touched was frozen so small that it was barely noticeable.

It’s a washing basin.

A place where water stagnates in the bathroom.

A place with high humidity.

There’s frost on the window.

Strangely enough, the ice did not melt.

Thus, the place where the ice was created became once again in Atrot’s sight, and before she knew it, the entire castle was under her surveillance.

The power of the Spirit King was incredible.

It is on a different level from the view you see with your own two eyes.

You can clearly feel what is doing with your whole body.

blast furnace… .

“It’s snowing in this weather. It’s suspicious. But I don’t feel any magical power… It makes no sense to change the weather this much with magic. This is it. Is it too much to worry about?”

Caesar II’s office.

A snowman came through the crack in the door and began watching his every move.

Caesar was a very talented wizard, but unfortunately he could not feel the power of the spirits. Because the snowman watching over him was really snow itself.

Although it is mediated by mana, it is an attribute itself created by an unknown power called a spirit. It cannot be recognized unless it is the same spirit.

Thanks to this, Atrot was able to monitor everything that happened in the royal castle in real time.

Return to the ground in that state.

I returned to Dirus.

[…] [You did something outrageous.]

[Pahaha! This body can now see all over the royal castle. How do you feel? Do you feel a little bit of the greatness of this body?]

Artrot, who suddenly made snow fall on the city, laughed shamelessly and laughed.

But you can see everywhere… If it were true, it would be truly amazing, but was there even a need to make it snow?

[I don’t know about greatness, but I got a little tired because you took my mana.]

[joy! I didn’t even use half of it!!]

[…] you. If I had signed a contract with Medis, I would have been in big trouble.]

[Hehe. Can I sit on your back now?]

[What does having the royal castle in your sights have to do with the bet? Instead of providing useful information, it only seems like you’re bragging. Don’t just waste mana, bring the right news.]

[Phew. If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do. Watch it first!]

width!

The little atrot jumped on its back as it pleased.

Then I placed both hands on my head, closed my eyes, and focused on something.

I wanted to do something so I left it alone.

[Close your eyes for a moment and try to connect like you normally do when you come to see me.]

… First, I followed his instructions.

I closed my eyes.

It sank deep into my mind.

In a dark space. I feel like I am looking at this place.

If you follow there… .

“Sniff!?… .”

I feel it.

Everywhere there is snow. You can see not only the castle but also every part of the city.

What is this feeling?

Is this Artrot’s vision?

[Can you see clearly?]

[This… How did you do it?]

[It’s no big deal. By signing the spirit contract, even our usual connection became stronger. I just added the power of the spirit here.]

[…] Is it because of the soul contract? … This is much better than Ronica’s vision sharing skill.]

[Instead, the two of us should be connecting with each other. This means that feelings cannot be shared like this without the consent of one party. In other words, if I allow it, I can show you every place here!!]

I have to admit this.

It’s awesome.

In addition to the scenery in every room, an ant-sized snowman under the influence of Artrot is tracking and watching everyone.

I can just feel this vastness. If I had walked around alone, the amount of activity that would have taken several days took less than a minute.

Even taking the wrong room.

You may also miss out on information.

The timing of reconnaissance may be off.

Tired of having to sneak around.

You also need to be careful not to get caught.

There is no need to worry about anything.

I can feel everything.

I feel like I have become omnipotent.

blast furnace… .

[…] … … I allow you to sit on my back.]

The deal was accepted.

This is too convenient a power to refuse. Even though it is a place where I have never burned anything other than my disciple, all I have to do is kill my pride a little.

This ability is well worth it.

[Hahahaha!! It looks like he was finally surprised by the power of this body. I never thought I would bend now.]

[Instead, I want to borrow the view whenever I need it.]

[under? Sitting on your back is tricky. But this great body is generous. After all, it was done with your mana.]

Transaction established.

Pokpok~

[Phew~ It’s soft. I guess I should pluck a few pieces of mane hair and decorate them.]

[…] … … .]

[Turn into undead. Collect the white fur as well.]

[That was not in the terms of the deal.]

[Tsk. You are strict.]

It seems a little dangerous… .

Obtained the spirit’s vision.

That should be enough for now.

Now is the time to spy on the royal castle.
