*🪓*
Behind the house, Ars holds the axe up, then swings it down and splits the wooden beam into two halves.
Not far from her, there was a very cute silver-haired little girl. He picked up the wood and put a new log in front of Ars.
*🪓*
Ars swings an axe to split the wood and Est will help him from the side.
The two coordinated well without saying a word.
"Sister Ars, it's lunch time!"
Walking out of the house, Areishia called out.
"Oh, it's already noon."
Ars wiped away the sweat that wasn't on his forehead.
"Enough, Est. We have a lot of firewood. This stock is enough for a month."
"Yes." Yeah." Est said briefly, then approached Areishia.
Ars stuck an axe to the ground, looking up at the overcast sky, he narrowed his eyes.
"May it be just my feelings."
Shaking his head, he and the two girls started to have lunch.
At the dinner table that Ars made, he glanced at Areishia's ears hanging a pair of yellow earrings.
"Ars' brother? Did something happen to my face?" Areishia tilted her head and asked.
"No, it's just that you look beautiful using those earrings, Areishia." Ars is telling the truth.
Compared to the South Korean actress who obtained beauty through surgery, Areishia's natural beauty beat them all, even though she did not dress up and take care of her face.
"Son's brother Ars is too much, compared to other girls, I'm just plain."
Even so, Areishia was just happy to receive that compliment.
"Mistress' words and her feelings don't match... Why is the madam lying?"
"A, Est. Don't reveal it."
Revealed by Est, Areishia covered her face in embarrassment.
"Mrs behaves strangely."
As his contracted Spirit, Est felt Areishia's true feelings. He did not understand humans too much, which was why he was confused.
"Est, sometimes talking too much is not a good thing." Ars acted like a father advising his daughter.
"Man is too complicated."
Not understanding what happened, Est continued eating the bread with her small mouth.
High-level Spirits do not need to eat human food. However, she is ordered by Areishia, so Est is unable to resist.
The atmosphere was made awkward by Est's plain actions.
Ars and Areishia ate in silence with their respective minds.
(The frequency of the appearance of the Rebel Spirit has been increasing lately. I wonder if this situation just happened here or somewhere else is also experiencing something similar.)
Ars eats Areishia's bread while contemplating recent events.
It had been three days since Areishia had made contact with the Spirit, Terminust Est.
During that span of time, the village had been repeatedly attacked by the Rebel Spirit, the village would have been met with destruction had it not been for Areishia wielding the Holy Sword and defeating all the Rebel Spirits.
However, instead of the gratitude he received, he was shunned and ostracized by the villagers.
The simple reason is envy.
Areishia who was originally a shepherd girl now had incomparable strength in everyone's eyes. Of course some people will be jealous and spiteful.
Why Areishia?
Why not themselves?
Especially the women who felt themselves to feel better and worthy than Areishia.
As a result, they influenced the other villagers and spread bad rumors about Areishia.
Don't underestimate the jealousy of women!
Now, the villagers took back their goats and did not let Areishia become a shepherd anymore. In addition, the villagers would refuse to work with them.
Other than Ars and Est, no one wants to interact with Areishia.
*Knock Knock*
The sound of knocking on the door sounded.
It had been a long time since someone had come, Areishia excitedly opened the door.
"Yeah..."
Seeing his childish behavior, Ars sighed.
"Who are you?"
Areishia did not recognize the middle-aged man in front of her.
"My name is Aelric Farnham, is this really the Elementalist residence?"
The middle-aged man introduced himself as Aelric and his tired face was filled with a glimmer of hope.
"What business is it looking for me?" Areishia asked curiously.
Hearing that answer, Aelric informed the girl in front of him was the one in his way. Without hesitation, he knelt down and asked for help.
"Miss, please save us! My village has been attacked by Rebel Spirits. Please help us all. Otherwise, everyone will die."
"Uncle, don't kneel, get up quickly."
Seeing the middle-aged man kneeling before her, Areishia helped him up.
"If my powers can help, I'll help you, uncle." He agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Thank you very much, miss. Let's go now, the village is still under attack."
"How far is the village from here?"
"That's. 30 minutes on a horse."
Aelric was worried not to come in time.
Areishia understood this too, then he turned to Ars.
"Time is urgent... Does Ars' brother have any way we can get there as soon as we can?"
He knows Ars is no ordinary man. So, he pinned his hopes on her.
"Since this is your request, how could I say no?"
Ars approached him with Est.
"I know Ars' brother is always reliable. I leave it to you." Areishia showed a brilliant smile.
"You are..." Aelric looked at Ars with skepticism.
It is common knowledge that men are weak and do not have any magical powers. It was a normal reaction to hearing a man say such an absurd thing.
Ars was too lazy to explain to Aelric. He walked quite far away from home, then the three tomoe in his eyes rotated and fused into a stone shape.
The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
Then, around Ars appeared a purple energy shaped rib. Not stopping there, the purple energy intertwined to form muscle fibers and eventually formed a 150-meter-tall giant wearing armor, a katana on his waist, and a pair of wings on his back.
Susano'o perfect shape!
Ars is inside the pentagon located on the forehead of Susano’o.
Due to the large size of Susano'o, all the main residents can see it. They wore horrified expressions and did not dare to move in the slightest, afraid that it would anger the giant.
On the other hand, Aelric had long since fallen with his butt touching the ground. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open.
"Wow, Ars' brother is amazing! I didn't know you could do something like this."
Areishia exclaimed in shock, but there was no fear like the other villagers. There was only admiration in her beautiful eyes. Little did she realize, Est who had always been emotionless, now had a fluctuation in her eyes
Ars controls Susano'o, that big hand down to the ground.
"Okay, we'll fly."
"This will be my first flying experience, let's go up, Est."
Areishia grabbed Est's hand, and pulled him over to the palm of it.
Aelric hesitated and was afraid, gritting his teeth, he ventured and held back his fear.
After everyone else, Susano’o flapped the wings on his back, and began flying in the air.
"Show me the direction." Ars said.
"Y-yes..." Aelric answered groggy.
With Susano'o's flying ability, they arrive within minutes in the village of Aelric.
Then Areishia with Terminust Est landed on the ground and began to defeat the Rebel Spirit in the village.
As for Ars, he killed the Rebel Spirit in midair.
With their cooperation, all the Rebel Spirits that attacked the village were successfully annihilated.
