“Please… this is the only choice I have right now…”

 

“Hey, if I want to, I can kill you, you know?

 

Kuufa kept her eyes on the wall of water and didn’t move.

 

“Do you really want to live?”

 

“Please be my friend… please, please, please…”

 

“If you’re afraid, why don’t you just beg for your life?”

 

“Please!”

 

After Kuufa’s words, Aquaria, now a wall of water, closed the distance, while Seira and the instructors prepared for battle.

 

The instructors summoned their contracted summons, while Catalana readied herself for first move.
Just as her phalanx was about to be activated, Aquaria returned to its original form.

 


“No, no, no.
I can’t be your friend.”

 

“Please…”

 

“You can be my Master.
That will be better, right?”

 

Kuufa was facing Aquaria with her mouth half-open.
Catalana and the others, who had been on the defensive in case of an emergency, were now ready, while Aquaria was looking at the people around her with interest.

 

“Did you ask them to help you to be friends with me? Hmmmm, I guess not…”

 

“Eh…?”

 

“I can tell by your reaction.
You know, I’m not insensitive or blind, even though I may look like one.
Well, it didn’t really mean much even if they helped…”

 

Aquaria touched Kuufa’s cheeks with both hands.
Kuufa let out a small squeal at the cool touch.

 

Litty was in full curiosity as to what that felt like, but she held back from touching Aquaria.


 

“You’ve got to properly feed me… Master?”

 

“Mas, ter…”

 

“To tell you the truth, I’m worried about you.
You’re too weak…”

 

“I am the Master…”

 

Kuufa recited this and put her hand on her cheek where Aquaria had touched her.
For some reason, there was not even a drop of water on it.

 

Aquaria transformed again, this time clinging to Kuufa’s body.

 

“Hyaan!”

 

“Don’t worry about getting wet, okay? I’m a Water Spirit, so I won’t be that messy!”

 

“Ah, Aquaria-san, you’re such a great Spirit, I’ll…”


 

“You don’t need to say Aquaria-san, just Aquaria is fine”

 

“Aquaria…”

 

Litty was relieved that it went well.
It was everyone but her who was astonished at the sight of it.

 

Aquaria, a high-ranking Spirit, had recognized Kuufa as her Master.
After the summoning, it was normal for a contract to be made.
Only after the contract was concluded that a Summoner could be recognized as a Master.

 

Aquaria, in particular, seemed to be a unique case in high-ranking Spirits.
Was it really just a whim? Of course, Seira and the instructors were all wondering about the reason behind Aquaria’s consent to this contract.

 

“So… we have a contract…”

 

“Yes…”

 

Here it came.
Kuufa was not the only one whose heart was racing.
The instructors were gulping, knowing that this was where the real work began.

 


Not only high ranked Spirits, but all high ranked Summoned Beasts in general, had very strict contract conditions.
Yet, people still tried to contract them, even though they knew it was almost impossible.

 

“You must strive to become a Master worthy of me.
That’s all.”

 

“…Yes, I will do my best!”

 

“When I’m not satisfied with your performance, I wonder what I should do… Well, I’m going to terminate the contract…?”

 

“Okay…”

 

“That’s ridiculous! Is that all there is to it?” One of the instructors raised his voice.
The conditions seemed to be too lenient to be true.

 

However, Aquaria gave him a freezing stare.
Instantly, the instructor stiffened all over as a chill ran down his body.

 

“That’s all, okay? So, do you want to try and sign a contract? You think you can do it?”

 

“No, no.
I’ll pass…”
