Avoid the Death Route! Chapter 28

「Gill Stalin. This place should be cleared out of people. Why are you here!」

Knight Commander-san raised his voice in a reproachful manner at the Royal Guard who just entered.

「Get out of the room immediately!」

Now there Knight Commander-san, he might have something important to report, right?
He expressly came to King’s office which was cleared out of people after all.
Despite that, to chase him out without hearing him…… what is it about?
Rather, there should be Knights standing at the door, right?
I wonder how he could enter the room without being stopped by those people?
Or rather, this Oniisan is another hunk~
Nn…… huh……?
I feel something out of place…… from this Oniisan……?
Umm…… this is…… that, right?

「…… Erm…… Spirit-san?」
「「「「《《 Eh!? 》》」」」」

Everyone looked at me with a startle when I muttered.

「Wind, have you told her beforehand?」
《Even though I wanted to surprise her, there’s no way I would do something like that!》
「…… That’s true, isn’t it? You are such guy」

This Spirit-san (temporary) in the royal knight get-up appears to be Luke’s acquaintance.
It’s not like Spirit-san is doing Knight cosplay, right?
I mean, Knight Commander-san knows this Oniisan, so he must be a genuine Knight, right?
…… What does this mean?

「Are you really Spirit-san?」
「That’s right」

This person, he looks absurdly human though……
The quality of the voice that reaches my ears is entirely different from spirit……

「Even though I may appear like this, I live for a longer time than the Wind and Green spirits over here. I’m able to easily pose as a human. However, this is the first time someone has seen through me while I’m pretending to be a human」

Wa~ Then, he really is Spirit-san~
Blonde…… rather, close to yellow hair, huh~
So that means――

「Umm…… are you Spirit-san of lightning?」
「Hee~ you understand that much……」

It seems I got it right.
But, what kind of attribute the spirit is, it’s easy to understand from their appearances, isn’t it?
Green Spirit Hughley has green hair, Spirit of Light Miria has whitish-blond, Luke’s is yellow-green……
At first, when I contracted with Hughley and Miria, I realized that the light they give off matches their attribute.
If we go by that rule, a spirit of fire would be red, a spirit of water blue, a spirit of earth brown, a spirit of darkness black.
After that, after encountering various spirits, I noticed that their hair and color of their eyes generally matches with their attribute.
And, this Knight Spirit-san’s hair is yellow.
Light was a possibility from his appearances, but it’s slightly different from Miria, so I went through my choices again and thought of lightning.
Perhaps, are the judgment criteria I use not a common sense?
Ah, ordinary people don’t see spirits that much!
Then, it would be better for me not to talk about my theory to people that much, right?
Then~……

「…… I somehow felt it?」
「I see. You could somehow pinpoint and get it right……」

Huh?
Right now, I heard incredible sighs from around though!?
It wasn’t just one or two, you know~!?
Moreover, I’m being looked at with exhausted eyes!?
Why, what for!?

《Well, she’s Ria after all……》

Hey, Hughley~!?
What kind of opinion is that!
Father and brothers of mine, why are you nodding in agreement!

《As I thought, Ria is amusing, isn’t she~ I thought this guy should make a contract with Ria too, so I called him over~》
《Oh, Luke. You have done a good job considering it’s you~》

Ahh~ so the reason Luke was grinning when he returned from somewhere was this, huh……
Un, wait a moment!
You called him over with the intention of having him contract with me!?

《He hasn’t decided yet though. Lightning, you said you will decide after taking a look at Ria, what do you think?》

No, seriously wait!
