The Wind Fairy that was born from the <Wind Fairy Stone> was looking at Kousuke while Collete and Kousuke were having a conversation.

 

As was the case with the Fire Fairy, it seems that even if one was born as a fairy, that doesn’t mean that one could speak.

 

When he thought about it, he realized that the existence of Esena and Yuri, the manifestation of World Trees, were special.

 

In reality, this thought was also out of line with common sense.

 

To begin with, the existence of fairies itself was in the realm of legends and fairy tales.

 

The fact that they were appearing so casually all over the place was in itself strange.

 

Including Dolly, he had already seen six (?) fairies in person.

 

Two of them had already disappeared, so there are actually only four fairies remaining in Kousuke’s team.

 

“Hmmm… Do fairies really show up this casually?”

 

At Kousuke’s comment, Collete turned to look at him.

 

“…No way, of course that can’t be true. In the first place, fairies won’t be called stuff of legends and fairy tales if that was the case. Didn’t I mention that before.”

 

“Ahahaha”

 

For now, Kousuke laughed to feign ignorance

 

“Haah… Well, that does not seem to be the case. Anyway, I think she has something more to say.”

 

Colette pointed at the fairy who was looking at them.

 

“I see, does she need me for something?”

 

“That’s what I don’t understand. she was trying to tell me that she needed something that Kousuke possessed?”

 

“I wonder what it is, though. After all, I left everything behind when we came to this floor, so I don’t have anything with me right now.”

 

Kousuke and Collete both nodded their heads at the same time.

 

“Yes, that’s why I don’t understand what they are talking about. …I’ll try asking them again for now.”

 

“Please do”

 

As Kousuke placed his hands together, Collete looked at the Wind Fairy once more and started a conversation.

 

Kousuke had been watching for a while, but it didn’t seem to be going well.

 

In the first place, even if she could use the <Fairy Language>, the language of spirits and fairies was very different from that of humans and demi-humans.

 

Naturally, when conversing with them, discrepancies often arise, making it difficult for them to communicate well.

 

This time seemed to be the same.

 

The Wind Fairy was also trying to communicate, but her expression showed that she just couldn’t get through to Collete.

 

“Hmmm… Ah, that’s right”

 

Kousuke had been watching the Wind Fairy and Collete, but halfway through, he suddenly had an idea.

 

He thought of someone who might be able to help him out of this situation.

 

“…Esena, could you come out here?”

 

He finally decided to summon Esena, a fairy of the World Tree.

 

Thinking about it, he had never summoned Esena since he moved the World Tree floor to the South Tower.

 

He was a little worried about whether he would be able to summon her even if he was in a different Tower, but his fears were unfounded.

 

When Kousuke called out to her, she immediately appeared.

 

“Onii-sama, what’s the matter?”

 

Her appearance had already become that of a high school student.

 

The way she talked was no different from a normal human being, in fact, she even seemed to be more elegant with her speech.

 

“Ah, well. I’m sorry for calling you out of the blue.”

 

“I will come whenever I am called, so please don’t worry about it. The World Tree is stable these days, so I rarely have to intervene with my power.”

 

“I see, that’s good …as to why I called you. Her? Him? I’d like you to listen to what she is trying to say….”

 

Kousuke said, pointing at the Wind Fairies.

 

“I’m sorry, Esena. I tried, but I couldn’t clearly understand what she was saying.”

 

Seeing that Esena had come, Collete finally raised the white flag.

 

“Oh. Wind Fairies… They have a very peculiar way of saying things.”

 

As she said this, Esena immediately started a conversation with the Wind Fairy.

 

The conversation itself, however, was over quickly.

 

“…It seems like she wants Onii-sama’s divine power.”

 

After the conversion, it was easily determined what she really wanted.

 

When Collete heard this, she slumped her shoulders in disappointment.

 

“…I, I see, so she was talking about Divine Power…”

 

Collete was depressed to find out that the thing she had been trying to figure out earlier was the divine power.

 

“Oh, I don’t think it’s Collete nee-sama’s fault. In the first place, she was speaking in a language that was only conveyed to fairies and spirits, so it’s natural that you don’t understand.”

 

Esena said, trying to comfort Collete.

 

For Kousuke, who still remembered Esena’s previous appearance as something recent, the scene was somewhat surprising, because of her growth that developed in a lot of places.

 

“Oh. So, if I give them my divine power, what was she going to use it for?”

 

For some reason, Esena smiled at Kousuke’s question.

 

“You’ll know that when you give it to her. she won’t use it for anything weird, so it will be fine.”

 

“Got it… So, how do I transfer that to her?”

 

“Please give her your hand.”

 

As Esena said, Kousuke extended his right hand towards the Wind Fairy. The Wind Fairy may have sensed this, and she also extended her right hand in the same way, as if she was shaking hands.

 

Through her hands, Kousuke gently sent her divine power.

 

At first, he sent it gently, like when making a divine tool, but he felt as if he was being urged to do more, so he made it stronger and stronger.

 

He got carried away, and towards the end he sent it with a lot of force, but the Wind Fairy didn’t seem to mind.

 

In the end, he sent divine power in an amount that was much greater than he had ever used, but Kousuke felt that he still had plenty to spare in his reserves.

 

After a while, Esena, who had been standing aside to watch, stopped him.

 

“Onii-sama, it’s time to stop. There’s not much point in giving more than that.”

 

When Kousuke stopped sending the divine power and let go of her hand, a change occurred in the Wind Fairy.

 

It was as if she was just a lingering presence until now, but now she had a strong presence, as if she had finally manifested in reality with a solid frame.

 

“…Uwah.”

 

Collete, who was watching, couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

 

Kousuke was also taken aback by the changes.

 

“Onii-sama, did you name her?”

 

“Name? No, I didn’t.”

 

“Then please give her a name. She now belongs to Onii-sama.”

 

“What? Is that so?”

 

Kousuke was surprised to be told that the child suddenly belonged to him, but when Esena explained to him that it was because he gave her his divine power, he agreed.

He named her Sylph, as Esena had told him to do.

 

“Sylph, that’s enough. If you do any more unnecessary things, Sister Kouhi will restrain you.”

 

At Esena’s words, the presence she felt from Sylph, the Wind Fairy, weakened.

 

In addition, her cheeks were slightly puffed out.

 

“Buu… Esena Onee-sama, that’s not fair.”

 

Moreover, she began to speak the language normally.

 

Kousuke and Collete were surprised by this, but Esena was unfazed by it.

 

“What are you talking about? I said that for your sake, didn’t I?”

 

Esena then looked at Kouhi, who was following Kousuke as his bodyguard.

 

Sylph, who also looked at Kouhi, shuddered and somehow used Kousuke as a shield to hide behind.

 

“I’m, I’m sorry~”

 

Kousuke tilted his head at Sylph, who for some reason started to tremble.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Onii-sama, don’t worry about it. It will subside soon. More importantly, the contract has been completed, so Sylph will always be there to help Onii-sama, okay?”

 

“Huh? Contract?”

 

“Didn’t you just hand over your divine power to her?”

 

For Kousuke, it was just a matter of handing over the divine power as he was told, but it seems that this action triggered him to be bound in a contract with Sylph.

 

He said that he could now call upon her at any time to borrow her power.

 

“Moreover, Sylph has become a very high-ranking being among fairies, thanks to Onii-sama’s divine power!”

 

Sylph declared with pride.

 

“It’s thanks to Onii-sama’s power, it’s not something you should be proud of… So, since you can now call on her whenever you want, just as like me, please call on her as you wish.”

 

Looking at Esena and Sylph, Kousuke was reminded of the relationship between Eris and Jal’s sister gods for some reason.

 

“Um, I get it, but where does Sylph usually reside?”

 

Esena has a dwelling place called the World Tree.

 

But Sylph doesn’t have such a thing.

 

“What? Of course, she’s with Onii-sama.”

 

Sylph said with an obvious look on her face.

 

[If that’s the case, there’s no need to call her]  Kousuke thought.
