I decided to change Slave Engagement to Slave Contract since it is written as Slave Engagement in katakana but the kanji word can bring meaning similar to a slave contract.

------------------------

Closing

the book that I finished reading and my eyes.

"He...

He was a great guy."

Tears

does not stop dropping.

Tanya

lent me a novel with the title of "Dark Green Saint". [深緑の聖女]

A

true story based on what actually happened, a young girl Soreil whom the bright

arts power was born during the war when she struggling hard to fight to protect

the loved ones.

Soreil

who realized her own power was puzzled at first by being natural bright arts

user.

But

as a result of the war, she began to face herself and finally by her own will

she decided to fight to protect her born country.

I

have only read about half of it, but it is very interesting.

In

particular, I was totally impressed by the scene where she goes to rescue her friend

with a strong resolution to be hostile towards her own country soldier.

And

at the scene where the king who was impressed by her courage and forgive her,

finally I cannot bear it ……

U~tsu,

tears again. Chi~n. Blow my nose on a tissue and throw it to the trash can. I

removed it.

I

borrowed a book with an intention to find out about the natural bright user but

I just keep reading it non-stop.

By

the time I noticed it, the sky outside the window is already dyed orange.

Because

it is a story, there will be an exaggeration, but I understand a little about

natural bright arts user.

Soreil

also seemed to be the only girl who did not know her own power at first.

She

was not even aware of her truly special talent.

At

one time, the prophet foresees her destiny and notices the magical powers resides

within her.

Although

I did not understand it at first, but I learned that it required a certain

trigger to activate the essence of natural bright power.

That

motivation is exactly what I wanted to know!

Together

with Soreil, there was a shining warrior as good as her.

His

name is Reyon, the boy of the same town. [レヨン]

After

being attacked by bandits, the two of them use slave engagement.

Even

after that, in the war with neighbouring countries he protected herself with his

life.

Both

of them who were just childhood friends started to be attracted to each other gradually

......

I

am looking forward to call for future developments.

Shining

warriors who gained power through slavery contracts that can only exercise

their power in the vicinity of those who give power.

Since

the power was put inside the body, both look and heart must be dedicated to the

giver.

So,

the two of them are always together.

Reyon

is the only warrior for Soreil.

If

I signed a slave contract with Just-kun ……

There

was also a written method of contract to become a shining warrior.

As

Soreil told the Prophet, a fragment of light in the heart -

In

other words, with strong consciousness of hidden bright arts power, the

contract is established by giving it to Reyon through mouth transition.

With

that ritual, Soreil truly awoke as bright artist.

In

other words, the slavery contract to become a shining warrior was the beginning

of everything.

If

I want to know if I am a natural bright artist, I need to try a slavery

contract.

OK,

let's try it because it's easy.

There

is no boy close to me.

Ah,

it’s not supposed to be a boy, though.

Tell

my friends "Do you want me to ascertain if you are a natural bright artist

or not, let me kiss you?"

Well

then, it’s not like I am totally a strange person.

But

it seems like it was going wrong way!

But

…… If that is what I need to do ..........

After

all, Ju, Just-kun, and, or ......

Ho,

hora, he is, even if I meet him and say such thing, it’s not like he will

misunderstood of us being dating, oh, I like that, what if I told him that he

can become a warrior, so he can try it even it is bad, even though he does not

even go to school as a student, I still cannot afford to give my lips to a man

so easily, but because I also will receive benefits from being assisted by

Just-kun, if the contract succeeded Just-kun said to me that he would go back

to his hometown when he became a fighter warrior, so I would have to follow him

and I’m in trouble if I was asked whether I was prepared to leave the town but

if it’s happen in the village the two people living together doing something

like be a primary school teacher.

TL

NOTE : This is the longest sentence I had ever seen! It may have some mistakes.

Do

not get taken into delusion.

Because

I was too influenced by the book that I just read, I not being able to think

normally!

I

am not a natural bright artist!

If

I considered it calmly, there is not such a convenient thing!

Even

though I was told that a natural bright artist user was just a fictional story!

When

I was small I often thought of myself like I was a princess ... or something I

fantasized. When the year is over, I do not think that anymore.

I

do notice that I am not a special human being.

My

head will really boil if I keep imagine embarrassing scene.

That's

right, I am just overexcited after reading such an interesting story.

I

do not quite understand even after seen the same dream over and over again or

it’s just an illusion of almighty.

I

take a deep breath to calm my mood.

I

look up at the dimly empty sky that started to turn into a dark blue colour and

calm this excited feeling.

Oh,

it has already become dark like this while I’m being stupid fantasized.

I

have to start making dinner, my father will come back soon.

Well,

I calm down and take a deep breath again,

"Wa

wa~tsu, Ha~a, geho geho"

[TL:It’s like a cough sound]

I

was surprised by the suddenly blown doorbell, and I misunderstood it.

I

put the book on the bed, left the room and headed to the entrance while

preparing my hair with a skewer.

Who

is it this time, Dad will not ring a bell.

Because

Jill or Tanya should have a plan, it is someone else.

My

leg stops in front of the entrance.

She

came to apologize ... or.

If

so, what kind of face should I made?

Kararan,

the door bell rang again.

I

open the door without thinking about it.

"Oh,

good, I thought I was out."

What

was standing in front of the entrance was Just-kun whom I broke up awkwardly

yesterday.

"Ju,

Just-kun, ah, that, what, what?"

I

wasted up myself with this unexpectedly visiting.

Well,

it's unnatural. Calm down, ME!

"Today,

what did you do today? Dad is not back home yet"

"No,

I just forgot something a bit yesterday and I came to pick it up ..."

"Lost

things? Oh, a jacket!"

Last

night, I remembered that jacket were unfamiliar to the guests.

I

thought that the size was small for my father to buy it, but that was after all

Just-kun's jacket.

"Yeah,

I inadvertently forgot yesterday."

"Wait

a moment and I will pick it for you now."

I

headed to the living room and picked up a green jacket hung on a hanger.

"Thank

you for this. I am glad. My student card and wallet were inside the pocket.”

"Then,

yesterday's horse-drawn carriage money ......"

"Yeah.

As soon as I got on it, I noticed it and got down, he was very angry, but I was

forgiven only by informing to the guards."

Even

if you talk about it with such a smile, I am in trouble with the reaction.

"Well,

you walked to the hotel, was it far to Runena street?"

"I

am confident in my physical strength."

I

guess it is not such a problem either.

"I

wish you should come back and get it earlier."

"Well,

it was already getting dark, and it's bad to go to a house where there is a

girl alone"

Besides,

you do not have to worry about such a thing separately.

I

can always say ooo….kay, Not!

Perhaps

it was because he was worry since I had some problem with Natta.

It

is the one who bothered me.

Well,

if I think carefully, are not we are together alone right now?

Although

it is an entrance, it’s as if two people living under one roof, as if……

I

do not want it! Do not think strange things!

I

have to change the story.

"Well

then, I wish you should have come in the morning, it was hard to have a day off

today. Dad is always wake up early in the morning, if the carriage is running, he

should already be up."

"Yeah,

I was going to do that, but I got lost a little and by the time I noticed it’s already

dark.”

I

look at the clock on the shoe box.

It's

a little around half past six. Of course, it is in the evening.

"Well,

that is, you have been walking for a while since early morning."

"No,

yesterday it was close to dawn that I could return to the hotel, so it's about

10 o'clock exactly"

It's

real! This person, got really bad sense of direction!

There

is a good distance from Runena town, so it will take about an hour if I walk.

But,

no matter how much, there is no way to take more than eight hours.

There

is so much time that he can go back and forth through the city few times!

I

do not want to look surprised, so I decided to respond as gently as possible.

"Well,

yes, you are tired, are not you? I will go up to brew some tea”

"No,

I will have to go to the government office right now, so I will do it next

time. Thank you."

That's

right. It’s a shame though.

But

after all it is not good

He

may not understand the way since he stays only for a while in Philia City

This

might be a chance. now……

"Well,

please come back again, because I will show you around the city again"

My

face may be red for a while, but in order to get closer to him, I have to go

positive.

Just-kun brought me a promise to come again and smile
