Chapter 13

Chapter 13.“What need is there to say! Madam will naturally think it will be warm! Isn't that so, Madam!”

No, I still don't know.

Unable to answer and smiling brightly, the two people who were fighting smiled following me.

I don't know, you guys.

I'm not the weather agency, how do I know the weather.

The original isn't the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, would they have written the weather specifically.

Usually I lived as rain comes when it comes, snow comes when it comes, cold when cold, hot when hot...

When the time to farm came, there was nothing as important as the weather.

I now understand why ancient kings were so obsessed with the weather.

“Can't we just plant the Badam tree?”

At my question, the bear-like man who was claiming the Lelong flower said.

He has been claiming all along that this year's weather will be cold.

“It won't do. The Badam tree doesn't grow well if the weather isn't warm. If the temperature is okay, it would be good to sell, but isn't that gambling?”

“Um... Then is there nothing okay regardless of the weather? Like wheat...”

This time the skinny man who was claiming the Badam tree said.

“Wheat is dangerous. Last year also with that thought we planted wheat but not a single rain came so they all died.”

“Umm...”

In the end, the weather is the problem.

It would be good if we could make something like vinyl houses or artificial rain, but it's impossible right now.

“For now...”

The sparkling eyes of the two people looking at me were burdensome.

Seeing the eyes of the two people claiming to take their side, my mouth closed tightly.

“...

For now I also have to think.”

I who mumbled to buy time took Naul and returned to the office.

As soon as returning to the office, I leaned on the chair and let out a sigh.

“Aigo, my head. Naul, what do you think?”

“Don't take too much burden and choosing anything is okay.”

“Still...”

“It's not a day or two that the two people fight, and whatever you choose, they won't resent Madam.”

Naul added one word as if to lighten my burden, but it was no help at all.

“No, if I choose and the farming fails, it could. That's the worry. If the farming fails, the expenditure increases by that much. There's no proper income source yet.”

Only then I thought that I couldn't even bring up the original purpose of finding them.

“If I don't give an answer, won't they decide among themselves? Still, both are experts so it would be better than me picking.”

Then I recalled the words the two people brought up while fighting earlier about ruining the farming the year before last.

Uwa, I should have just called them, I went for nothing.

Why do useless things like this get remembered well.

Rather only my head became complicated.

Holding my head and pondering for a long time, I instructed Naul for now.

“Naul, go bring if there's something recording the territory weather. Even seeing that would help a bit.”

Anyway this damn territory.

It seems I cursed the first Duke about ten times today alone.

I sent Naul out too and let out a sigh again in the room left alone.

“Haa... If I knew it would be like this, I should have learned the method of seeing the weather with constellations in the previous life. Even if not up to how many degrees, if I could know even whether this year's weather will be cold or hot, it would be good.”

“You can know.”

Startled, I looked around, but there was no one in the room.

“...

What?”

Needlessly getting goosebumps, I tried hard to smile.

“Haha. I must have heard wrong. Really am I tired these days, hearing even auditory hallucinations.”

“It's not an auditory hallucination.”

At the voice heard again, I froze and couldn't move, and in front of my eyes the handsome man with black skin seen in the dream appeared.

“It, it wasn't a dream?”

Black skin, white hair braided into one, blue eyes.

When not long after coming to this castle, I lost consciousness while looking at the huge family crest.

At that time, in the dream I saw a strange man and a huge dragon.

After that he didn't appear so I thought I just had a strange dream...

The man in front of my eyes was exactly the same as the appearance seen in the dream.

At my words, the man tilted his head to the side.

“Dream? No. It's reality.”

Not to the level of our Lus who has a male lead-like beauty, but objectively seeing, he was a considerable handsome man.

He looks faint as if he would scatter in the sunlight, but when meeting the blue eyes, a heavy presence like witnessing the deep sea, so the gaze couldn't be easily detached.

“Here, how... No, wow. Where should I start asking this.”

I pondered for a moment and asked.

“What on earth are you?”

“I'm a spirit beast.”

He answered refreshingly.

If it's a spirit beast, I knew well.

Because I read the appearance of the female lead controlling one in the original.

The spirit beast the female lead controls was a green deer, and it was strong enough to tear huge monsters like paper.

Besides the spirit beast the female lead controls, spirit beasts often appeared in the work, and all were beings with amazing and unique abilities.

As much as the strong ability, contracting with a spirit beast was difficult and picky.

“Why did you appear in front of me?”

“That I don't know either. I of all people am curious how you woke me, how you were able to contract with me.”

“We contracted? What contract?”

“Naturally the master-servant contract.”

“...

How?”

“I said I don't know either. Rather I of all people want to ask. How on earth you came to the place where I stay.”

He also seemed to know nothing about this sudden contract.

Seeing that I lost consciousness while looking at the Valfruga family's crest, is it a matter related to the Valfruga family?

For now it's only speculation.

The man continued the words with an expressionless face.

“I was sealed on this land a thousand years ago. You released that seal.”

“I don't know anything.”

“I know. But anyway you released my seal, and we contracted.”

Suddenly I realized.

This man, the appearance is handsome but there's no expression.

It felt exactly like a well-made doll moving, so creepy.

But anyway having a spirit beast wasn't bad.

“Good. Then your words mean I'm your master?”

“Yes.”

Right, if the expression is a bit blunt, so what.

It's a spirit beast!

“Then what should I call you?”

For the first time an expression appeared on the man's face.

“...

You already named it.”

“When did I? Ah, no way... Blackie?”

“...

Yes.”

That's me being sorry. Yeah.

No, I really only thought it was a dream.

If I knew we two would contract, I would have given a cooler name too.

Like White Dragon.

Or Hope.

Containing the meaning of doing well from now on, Jackpot would also be fine.

I watched the man's mood and asked.

“...

Shall I name it again even now?”

“It's already late. When contracting with a spirit beast, a name once given can't be changed. Until finding the true name, that is.”

“True name? How do you find that?”

“When the time comes, I'll tell you. The current you is too weak.”

“Um... Right.”

Words that can't be denied.

“I'll formally greet, Master.”

The man knelt in front of me, put one hand on his chest and greeted.

“I am the one who received the first crown, and the one who closes the seasons.”

It was clearly an ordinary daytime office.

However the moment the man spoke, the air resonated and I felt a feeling of being drawn by an unknown sacred power.

“Thus the being who rules water, the being who can peek into the gaps of time, and the being who protects forever.”

The man bent his body and kissed my foot.

“As long as Master permits, I swear here and now to live for Master.”

“...

I permit.”

When I blurted out as if possessed, the man's body began to scatter like white snowflakes.

Thus gradually becoming smaller, finally becoming a small white dragon the size of a palm.

“...

Huh?”[The human appearance is too much for the current Master's ability to use.]

The man's voice came out from the young dragon.

On the long tail and back, small wings were also attached.

He walked jolt jolt on four feet and approached me.[This appearance is also too much for the current Master. But fortunately Master has something good.]

“Something good?”[A delicious smell comes from Master.]

“Do lizards also have a sense of smell?”[It's not a lizard but a dragon. It's different from that mere lizard. Look. I have wings too.]

He spread the wings attached to his back with all his might.

And flapped the wings trying to fly up, but the plump body couldn't easily float into the air.

Even knowing the original appearance is a fully grown adult male, seeing him like that in the small dragon appearance, somehow it looked pitiful.

When I lifted him with my hand and placed him on my knee, he moved his body little by little and settled in place.

“So what exactly is your ability?”[It's hard to explain. But I can make rain fall in the place Master wants, or protect Master from not being hurt by any weapon.]

Rain? Artificial rain?

Hearing the man's ability, my heart literally seemed like it would burst.

I must have contracted with something amazing.

This level is a jackpot, super jackpot even among spirit beasts.

To have such luck come to me!

Now saving this territory is a matter of time!

But Blackie immediately shattered my expectations.[But now my power is sealed so I can't use it.]

“What? How do you release the seal!”

I'm urgent now.

Tell me quickly.

Do I train?

Or is it meditation or something?

I'm all prepared.[Money.]

“...

Yes?”[Specifically speaking, it's a specific jewel. The reason I was able to open my eyes was also thanks to the jewel Master obtained.]

“Jewel? What jewel?”[A good scent comes from Master's desk.]

Blackie wriggled on the knee, then stuck his nose into the desk drawer and sniffed.

When I opened the drawer as he wanted, a small jewel box came out.

It was the box where only the expensive ones among the jewels obtained from the Leholas Marquess were gathered.

When I opened the jewel box, Blackie stuck his head between the jewels and rummaged.

And brought a ruby red like blood from the bottom.[I want to eat.]
