The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 199 - Damned Long Story (1)

That was close. No, she was probably still suspecting something. Evandel also became excited after seeing Rachel and for the first time threw a huge tantrum. It seemed it was true that blood was thicker than water.

In any case, I had to put in two days of effort to appease Evandel. I did my best to lighten up her mood with Clancy Islet's festival, made her a beautiful bracelet using one of the jewels I got from Jain, and promised her that I would let her meet Rachel eventually.

I wasn't lying.

Evandel had to be revealed to the world eventually.

Of course, now was still too early. But once I had the power to protect Evandel both emotionally and physically and once Evandel had the power to protect herself... I would reveal her existence to the world.

It would be wrong to waste her talent just because I was afraid of something happening to her. In the original story, Evandel had a peerless talent for stronghold defense. That shouldn't have changed in this storyline either.

"...Today was fun, right?"

"Uun~"

After our tour of England, we returned to the underground training room I set up for Evandel. Over the years, Evandel had created many spirit animals, which were now flying around the training room. Eagles, wolves, horses, hippos... a huge mystical army of animals greeted Evandel. Even at a glance, one could see that there were over a thousand of them. However, Evandel commanded with a single flicker of her hand.

"Guys~ clickety-clack~"

Evandel began to mutter strange onomatopoeias.

"Squish, squoosh~"

Her spirits then began to move according to the different sounds she was making.

"Chico, chico~"

She waved her arm around like a conductor as she commanded her spirits to dance.

"Sparkly, sparkly~!"

That one seemed to be an attack command as the army took on an aggressive stance. Then, they spread apart and began to charge forward at multiple angles.

"That's enough. Perfect score! Well done."

I praised Evandel and held her up high. Evandel smiled happily in my arms.

"If I have my magician's hat and staff, I can command them even better!"

"Oh, really?"

I made a mental note to upgrade her gear later. I looked around the training room once again. However, I didn't find any special spirits.

"Um, Evandel, where's Fenrir?"

I couldn't find Fenrir in the sea of monsters, so I asked Evandel instead.

"Over there~"

Evandel pointed to the corner of the training room. I followed her finger and saw a black wolf lying by the wall. He was the only spirit animal that radiated an imposing aura.

"Little wolf~"

But when Evandel called him, he shot his eyes open... and quickly ran over with his tongue out.

In case it wasn't obvious, I had left Fenrir with Evandel, since I knew he would be treated as 'equipment' by the Tower's system.

"He got smaller?"

"Un! Otherwise, he's too big."

"I see."

I checked Fenrir's stats.
