Chapter 17

I answered quickly, as if I were making excuses.

“Uh, that’s….”

“………”

“It’s an ancient book. I’m still interested in ancient languages. So I’m going to have to do it once to at least try it.”

“….. Really?”

He stared at me.

His eyes were like he was thinking about something.

I gulped without realizing it.

It was not long before he finished thinking, he opened his mouth.

“Aisha.”

“Yes?”

I flinched.

Recently, I’ve been hiding a lot from brother Isis, so I’ve been pretty pricked by my conscience.

If he ask me what I’m hiding, should I answer?

I anxiously waited for his next remark.

However, what he said was a completely different topic.

“I heard that scholar Almin came here.”

My eyes widened.

He smiled softly.

“I heard the scholar called you a genius. I’ve known you since I was a kid, but you’re my sister, too.”

That’s what he said and stroked my hair gently.

“Empress Iris seems to have a lot of ideas about your future, but you don’t have to think too much about what you’re going to do in the future.”

“…..”

“Do what you want, no matter what you do, we will support you.”

I stared at Isis.

”……. yes.“

“I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“What? Oh, yeah.”

I was a little surprised at the plain greeting.

He really left first after saying goodbye.

It was different from my usual attitude to stay even a little longer.

I just looked behind him like I was possessed.

I couldn’t hide my happiness.

Now I understood that the elves asked me to read this book with all their might.

Basically the elves were lonely beings.

Afraid of being loved and forgotten by the people.

It must have been that he had hoped so much for me to summon him. [ The Elve King ]

I opened the book with a pounding heart.

This thin book smelt of old dust.

There were various types of contract staff, but there were some that could not be used because the ink was smeared and erased.

I was a little disappointed with that, but I could feel my heart beating again when I saw ‘The Contract of Summoning the Lower Elves’ written on the very first page.

I don’t know how much power I have now.

But if it’s a low-level summon, maybe I can do it too?
