  When Akane regained consciousness and opened her eyes, what she saw was the ceiling of her dormitory.

  "Wow! Senior, you're awake!"

  Kerrie's delighted voice came over.

  Mei Narumiya lying on the bed turned her head and saw Kurea sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a delighted expression.

  Apart from Claire, Linsette and her useless maid Carol were also there.

  "Ker... "

  "——Senpai! It's great that you've finally woken up!"

  "Carlo, bring over the fresh soup I've prepared!"

  "Alright, young lady!"

  Watching the girls who were busy because they woke up on their own, Akane showed a slightly weak smile.

  "Kerrie, are you okay?"

  "It's okay, senior... thank you for saving me..."

  "That contract spirit thing..."

  Creilla fell silent for a moment before speaking up again, "It's alright, senior. Although I didn't succeed, you successfully contracted with the sealed spirit!"

  Mei Ling's eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

  Quickly pulled out his right hand which was still covered with the blanket, and on the back of his hand, the seal representing the contract between him and Yakumo Moku still existed.

  "On the other hand!"

  Akane heard this and pulled out her left hand, and indeed on the back of her hand appeared a silver contract seal made up of two crossed swords.

  Facing Crea with an apologetic smile, Akane said: "Sorry, Crea. I took your contract spirit."

  "Seniors don't need to apologize, if it weren't for you, Krear would have been killed long ago."

  Kerrie didn't say a word, while Lin Xier spoke words of comfort beside her.

  "Yes, senior, you don't have to apologize to me. To say it's actually my fault for being willful that I encountered this kind of thing."

  Looking at Kurea's somewhat downcast expression, Asuka propped herself up from the bed and sat up. She didn't know what to say, so she simply reached out her hand and stroked the girl's head.

  Meow~

  Scarlett nuzzled Kret's leg wrapped in black tights with her head.

  "Big sister, Akane-san, the soup is ready―― Ahh!!"

  Carrie, who was carrying a bowl of hot soup back to the bedroom, wasn't paying attention and ended up performing a perfect flat fall on the obstacle-free floor.

  The overturned soup was poured directly onto the maid's head.

  "Wooo——"

  "Carrot! Are you okay?!"

  Linsley hastily helped Carrot up and apologized to Akane before taking Carrot to the bathroom to clean up.

  "This master-servant relationship is quite interesting."

  "I really don't know, whether the maid is Carol or Linselette."

  After watching Linzer and Carrot's daily show, Kurea's mood improved a lot, which also made Akane breathe a sigh of relief.

  "What about that boy who was with us?"

  Akane suddenly remembered the Wind God she met in the forest.

  Kreisler suddenly wore an odd expression.

  "That guy is actually a Spirit Master! A male Spirit Master! I was shocked when I first found out!"

  "But he's also like you, senpai, and got separated from his contract spirit."

  "He's also been assigned to the Crow Class!"

  It was as if she had suddenly remembered something, and Kretia's face broke out into a sly smile.

  "Oh? What's so funny?"

  Kreisler's music is like seeing without being seen.

  "Who would have thought that annoying Alice sometimes does good things too!"

  "She actually let that male spirit go live in the horse shed!"

  Alice is Vyr Celia's sister and took over as captain of the Wind King Knights a year ago.

  Due to the work of the Knights, I often have conflicts with Cretia.

  Elycia Spirit Academy was established with the purpose of training witches to become spirit messengers, and from the start, it never occurred to them that there would be male students.

  After all, it's common sense on the mainland that only a pure and innocent girl can be an Elemental Master.

  So there is no boys' dormitory in the college.

  It's natural for Fuu to live in a place other than the dormitory as he is a male wind spirit.

  Is it too much to ask for a student invited by the principal of the college to live in a horse stable?

  Kind-hearted Asuka thought so in her mind.

  "That Alice is too serious, she seems to think that as a male student, Fūjin Kaze will bring chaos to the academy, so she's extremely hostile towards him."

  "I heard she strongly opposed his admission at first!"

  Kerrie explained the cause and effect of things.

  Mei heard this and was about to say something, but suddenly let out a mournful cry.

  On his right hand, the originally Eight Clouds Ink contract seal emitted a pale blue glow.

  Scorching pain almost made Akiraka fall off her bed.

  "What's wrong with you, senior!!"

  Kreier let out a loud cry of fright at once.

  Lisette also rushed out of the bathroom where she was helping Carol tidy up her tangled hair when she heard Kretcher's exclamation.

  "Senior! Senior!"

  "I'm fine."

  After the pain had gone away, Akane took a deep breath and smiled with joy on her face.

  "It's great, I can feel it, he's getting close to me! Although I still can't summon him directly, I believe that before long, we'll be able to meet!"

  "Is 'he' your senior's spirit husband?"

  Mei nodded.

  I'm the protagonist, finally don't have to continue hiding in God's concealment anymore.

  A few days later.

  "How about it, are you going to see your little partner soon? Can't wait?"

  A girl with black long hair, wearing a black Gothic outfit, with black twin wings on her back, stood outside the academy city, with a lazy smile on her face.

  Behind her stood Hachirou Moku with a knot of clothes hanging from his neck like a pendant.

  Yatsuyu Suzuri's right hand paused slightly as he concentrated on carving the wooden sculpture in his hands.

  "And you - it seems like the Wind God is also here."

  "Hiss——"

  Rastia let out an unsatisfied hum.

  "What a bore."

  Turning around, Lestia's amethyst eyes blinked, looking at the wooden carving in Hachirou's hand, and stretched out her finger to point at the tempting lips.

  "Go see your little sweetheart! But - don't disturb me!"

  "Don't worry."

  Baiyun Mo put away his small knife, and the wooden carving in his hand had taken shape.

  That is an image of Asuna in a Blood Oath Knight uniform, holding a rapier.

  "I'm not interested in your plans at all - as long as you don't harm Akane."

  "Otherwise, I'll take down Feng Zaojun first."

  Lestia's twin wings fluttered behind her, and her small body floated in mid-air.

  "Then, see you later——"

  A flash of light, and Restia had vanished into thin air.

  In the sky, pieces of black wings fell down.

  Ahead, a hubbub of noise faintly came from the center of the bustling small town.

  Today is the day when the military spirit contract ceremony will be held here.

  Only Yagumo Taku knew that this so-called contract ceremony had been exploited by Restia, the dark elf girl from the very beginning.

  "What does this have to do with me?"

  He put away his wooden carving and stepped into the academy with Ba Yunmo.

  "Just spare some face for the principal who took in Akane and let's just keep things from getting out of hand."
