What the hell? Why? Nagi-sama and me!
Yeah. Not the 'marriage' part, but the 'spirit link' part, which binds the souls together.
Yes, I know that much! Nagi-sama and I are in different positions, and I'm not going to terminate the master-servant contract at ......, but are you serious? A joke or ...... mistake or ......
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Eeeeeeeen?
What I wanted to do with Cecil was the prelude to that 'Engage' thing.
Same thing! Such a ...... Nagi-sama is me?
Cecil's little body is trembling. He's clenching the blanket in his little fists, half-hiding his face. His bare shoulders, his forehead, and the tips of his long ears are all red.
I sit in the chair next to the bed and look into Cecil's face.
'There's a deeper reason for this,'
Yes, let me ask you something.
In fact, I heard that if you make a 'soul promise' you can recover a great deal with special effects.
For that reason?
"Because it's not looking good for you, Cecil. The healer won't be here until tomorrow night.
'I don't think you should fix the future for that reason!
'Besides, it seems that when we 'soul-commit', we both awaken and get new skills.
...... That makes sense.
Cecil sighed and patted his chest.
'It's very Nagi-sama. Nah, is that what you mean?'
'Of course, the main reason I want Cecil to be there for me all the time is because I want him to be there for me.
Na Nagi-sama!
Cecil hugs the blanket and rolls around on the bed.
It's cute, but I'm not feeling well, so please don't do that.
It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any more of my body heat. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things.
With a plop, tears spilled from Cecil's eyes.
'It's not fair, Nagi-sama. Last time, you stopped halfway through the ritual ......
Before?
It's time for the Festival of the White Knot.
...... That one.
It's the one where the slave makes a master-servant contract with his master, even if he is reincarnated in the future, through the power of the "God of Covenants".
Why do you want to do that now? I wanted to be Nagi's forever, and Nagi refused to do so. ......
No, not when it's a 'reincarnated master-servant contract'.
Why?
Because if we're reborn in a world without a master-slave covenant, we're in trouble.
Cecil's eyes darted to the ground.
Huh?
...... Maybe Cecil wasn't aware of this?
To why I rejected The Festival of the White Knot.
'I'm sorry, I didn't explain it well enough. Listen to me, Cecil.
Yes, sir.
''The 'reincarnation but master-servant contract' means that the master-servant contract will be in place when Cecil and I are reborn, right?
There's an otherworldly summoning, so there must be reincarnation.
That's fine, it's what world we'll be reincarnated in.
In this world, I'd be fine with "master and slave from birth".
But what if we are reincarnated in a world where there is no "master-slave contract" like the world I was from?
There are two possible patterns.
(1) I lead Cecil around with his collar and he calls the police. I am arrested.
(2) Since there is no "master-slave contract", I and Cecile cannot meet each other.
Or one of us will never be born. Let's hope for the next incarnation.
The God of Contracts doesn't seem to be very flexible.
''That's why I thought the 'Future Master-Servant Contract' was a bad idea.
Nagi, this is very logical!
It's just that kind of personality.
I know what you think, Nagi-sama.
Yeah. So, what do you want to do?
.................. It's a tease, Nagi.
Cecil puffed out his cheeks and turned his head to the side.
'I belong to ...... Nagi-sama.
Cecil looked at me with his bright red eyes.
I put the crumpled blanket beside me and sit upright on the bed.
I speak out, one word at a time, broken up. I break it up into words.
I want to be with you forever, in whatever form that may be.
Thanks, Cecil.
It's embarrassing.
I'm not used to this kind of thing, you know.
But it's difficult, Nagi-sama. I don't know the Demon Race's 'soul engagement' ceremony. There's no choice but to look for the Demon Race's records. Even if I can find it, it should be quite a complicated ceremony.
'A ritual that brings two people together as one living being.
'Yes. 'It's all about uniting breath and magic. All the rituals are meant to bring the two of you closer together. Each tribe has its own lore. Taking a bath together, sleeping hand in hand, spending half a month in a temple alone with no one to see - it's very difficult to be 'one'. Then we 'connect' with each other and say the vows afterwards.
'Yeah. So, I've got a few things I want to try.
I need to get Cecil back on his feet as soon as possible, so I'll let you cheat.
I have the skills to do that.
It's how we've made the connection so many times before.
"This is good.
I picked up Cecil.
"Light.
"Nah, nagihima?
I'm going to do something for Cecil.
What the hell?
If you're having a hard time or feel like quitting, just tell me.
I'm not going to be so overwhelmed, though.
I sat down on the bed with Cecil in my arms. Then I sit Cecil down in front of me.
'...... is, yes. Go ahead. Nagi-sama.
''The 'soul engagement' rituals are meant to be a way for the two of you to connect on a deeper level, right?
'Ha, yes. That's why it's so difficult.
Okay. Okay, let's do it your way.
lightly
I put my hand on Cecil's left breast from behind.
A slippery sensation.
This is indeed the villa of the Ilgafa lord. I'm sure you'll be able to find it.
It's thin and soft, and it's ...... a great way to get a good look at Cecil's shape.
I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it. This is a therapeutic act.
Okay.
''The purpose of the 'soul promise' is to make Cecil a great healer. Me and Cecil's magic will slowly circulate and become one.
'Yes! Please do so, Nagi.
Cecil looked back over his shoulder and looked at me.
''I will do anything to become one with you, Nagi-sama!
''Okay. Then activate "Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 3.
I activated the skill.
I invoke Cecil's skill in the window that appears in front of me.
Then I lightly touch the letters with my fingertips.
'Connecting deeply' is something I've done many times before. 'Ability Rebuild' is a cheat skill that allows you to do that. I'm going to see if I can't make a soul commitment with this.
But I'm not going to push it too hard. I won't move the skill.
Cecil has a fever, so I don't want to put too much pressure on him.
We just need to circulate our magic so that our souls will think that we are one.
'............ is haha.'
You okay, Cecil?
It's okay. It's a strange ...... that's different from the usual. ......
Cecil leaned against me and sighed gently.
The fever is still there. My heart is beating fast. But her breathing is calming down.
Slowly, I pour the magic power into Cecil.
As Cecil breathes in, I send magic power to him, and as he breathes out, I get magic from Cecil at the same time. I circulate the magic power so that Cecile and I become one.
Repeat. Timing.
Inhale, exhale. Flowing, inhaling.
Cecil's modest chest swells and dips.
Shape-shifting in my hands, pushing back.
I pour my magic power into Cecil, and receive Cecil's magic power.
It repeats. It goes in circulation.
Chapu, chapu, chapu, and we stir each other up.
Like a single living thing.
...... This is different from the usual.
Really?
It's like a different ...... feeling where Nagi-sama comes in.
Cecil chap, licked his lips and looked at me.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. I'll ...... wobble .......
Cecil's consciousness is clear.
But he looks like he's going to melt.
It's just like being in the bath ...... with Nagi-sama. Calm and happy ...... feelings.
I'm just circulating my magic, I guess.
That and because the level of 'ability rebuilding' has increased.
I'm able to adjust my magic power better.
Cecil is taking it easy and leaning against me. Her tiny body is snuggled up to me. The top of Cecil's head is under my chin. The top of Cecil's head is under my chin.
As I do this, it's as if the boundary between my body and Cecil's has disappeared.
I feel as if I can understand everything about him.
Where does he want me to touch him, and what does he want to become?
Cecil is relaxed with his hands hanging lazily down.
Sometimes I go, "Huh," and it's like an electric current went through me. And when I ask him if he's okay.
...... I feel like I'm going to be numb the whole time I'm touching Nagi.
Cecil murmured vaguely.
'Little by little, the fluffy is getting stronger ...... but it's soothing and ...... ah.'
Did I mention it's like soaking in a bath?
Then I'll let Cecil continue to 'just feel good'.
I touch the 'Ability Rebuild' window.
I continue the circulation of magic power.
Cecil seems to be okay, so I make it faster.
My body is getting hotter, little by little. On the contrary, Cecil's heat is receding.
My heartbeats are synchronizing, too.
Cecil's breathing is slow and steady. I match it with her.
I can feel that the two of them are connected.
"The demon race is a resounding race, isn't it?
I said.
'Yes. I am resonating with Nagi.
Cecil replied, as if he knew what I was going to say beforehand.
'Do you know where exactly it is that you're resonating with me?'
The reason I thought we could "engage" with Cecil is because the demon race is a "resonant race".
Cecil and I have been resonating with each other since the moment we met.
If that echoing thing is really a soul...
Cecil, the demon race, could sense where it was. That's what I thought.
"So, Cecil.
Okay, I'll go to ............ and find out.
Cecil took my right hand.
Slowly, she brings it close to her skin.
It's a strange feeling.
It's as if my body and Cecil's body are fused with each other.
The overlapping hands and the magical power of the two of us scan Cecil.
I can recognize Cecil even though I'm not touching him.
The parts of Cecil that you can usually see, and the parts that you cannot usually see.
The soft and the hard parts of Cecil.
Where Cecil is puffed up and where Cecil is smooth.
Cecil's warmth and warmth.
I wandered around all over Cecil...
─ In the middle of Cecil's chest, my hand stopped.
'I found .......'
It hurts.
I felt like something was vibrating beyond the palms of my hands.
The 'I' resonating with Nagi-sama is probably right here.
Yes.
I know.
This is the power of Revive LV3. We're more connected to Cecil than ever before.
I can feel the magical energy flowing through Cecil's body.
My eyes are flickering.
Before I knew it, I was able to see the flow of magic created by the Reassembling Ability.
It clings to Cecil's body and connects me to him.
The breathing, the heartbeat, the magic power.
And the area around each other's chests where we have souls.
It's enough to make the line between the two of us indistinguishable.
We've come so far. Let's finish this up.
'So, let's take our vows, Fluffy ...... hiya ...... Nagi-sama.
I don't know how to do it officially.
So I'm going to try to use our own, original words.
"I, Souma-Nagy, wish you an indelible bond with Cecil Farot.
"I, Cecil Farot, wish to form an eternal and lasting bond with you, Soma Nagi.
No matter what form it takes.
"Lest we lose sight of each other in the myriad of worlds.
"The promise of the soul knot, 'Engage the soul'
The center of Cecil's chest glowed with light.
A circle of light emerged through the thin loungewear.
The one that appeared from the center of it - was a small "person".
The size of it was about the size of a palm.
The whole body is shining in gold.
You are not wearing any clothes.
The figure──is the very same as Cecil. A tiny Cecil, and an even smaller one.
"Is this the soul of Cecil ......?
Cecil is asleep before I know it.
Happy, eyes closed.
Instead, the golden Cecil reaches out to me.
"The person who gave light to the evil one. The one who gave me the light in a terrible day.
Cecil's soul kissed the palm of my hand.
Then she pulled out a strand of her own hair and wrapped it around the ring finger of my left hand.
'More than a 'contract', I want you to know that I want you to know that I'm not a 'contractor'.
Cecil's soul touched my chest.
With a pop, a warm light drew a circle in the center of my chest.
Then Cecil's Spirit ran up my arm and pulled out my hair.
This time I wrap it around Cecil's ring finger.
''Please 'I' A person with whom I have a crack.''
"Forever.
"Till the End of All Worlds.
"May the mystery - and all the members of my people - be guided by the same interpreter to the end of the night.
shuffling
The soul turned into a circle of light and was sucked into Cecil's chest.
Cecil kept his eyes closed.
His fever is ...... normal. His heartbeat, and his breathing, is also gentler.
I wonder if this is a 'soul agreement' success.
If I display Cecil's status for an experiment...
"Cecil Farot.
Title: Slave Fiancée, Fortune Slave
Soul connection: strength, medium.
State: great recovery in progress.
Unique Skills: "Magical Aptitude LV3", "Double Casting (Double Casting) LV1" and "■■■■■ LV1".
Cecil's status has changed!
There are more invisible skills.
It seems that this will be released once "Kizuna" is officially established.
Moreover, it even displays your health status.
What about me?
"SOUMA-NAGI.
Specific Skills
"Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 3
"Quick Reconstruction Quick Structure
A derivative of Rebuild Ability Level 3. Allows you to quickly rebuild one slave and your skills.
Warning: Side effects. Use it only in an emergency. Using it can be disastrous.
■■■■■■
"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
'Ability rebuilding' type skills are on the rise!
The "Fast Rebuild" is for one person only, but it can be rebuilt on the fly at high speed. But only in an emergency?
...... What's the rest of it hard to do? .......
The other one remains blank. Will this one be available once the 'unity spirit' is established?
'Cecil, are you okay? How are you feeling?
...... No more, Nagi-sama ...... and I ...... and I'm going to put it away. I am.
Cecil is in my arms. He's asleep with his fingers in his mouth.
"...... Cecil?
I can't stop being happy and happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy. ...Huh?
Oh, I woke up.
Cecil opened his eyes in my arms and looked around from side to side as if he didn't know where he was.
'Huh? Huh?
Are you awake?
Oh, that's strange. I was wondering what would happen if Nagi and I became one, and then we melded together for a hundred years or so, and then we became one physically and mentally, and now we're going to have to do the 'ability rebuilding' together. ...... Huh? Nagi and I are here. Separate. Huh?
Cecil is staring, looking at his left hand.
It's the place where the soul wraps around my hair.
"...... I have a ring born to me. No, this is ...... a piece of Nagi's?
It was a black ring. It's a really nondescript, shiny black ring.
Oh, it looks like me.
And there is a small ring on the ring finger of my left hand. It's silver and as thin as a hair.
This must be part of Cecil's soul, right?
Because when I touch it, he looks so ticklish.
'So Cecil, how are you feeling?'
I'm so nervous I'm dying of happiness.
You look fine.
I touch Cecil's forehead. He freaks out. His eyes are closed, and he's shaking a little. But his fever is ...... going down. The sweat on my neck and forehead has gone down. Your breathing has calmed down. Most importantly, he's gone from wobbly to lightheaded. That's good.
I feel fine. I'm feeling fine, no fever, no lightheadedness. Ah, but ......
Kun Kun Kun, soooooooo.
Cecil put his face close to his own nightie.
Then he looks at me and looks like he's about to cry.
'Oh, I'm drenched in sweat. In front of Nagi-sama? I mean, you're so close to us. Ahhhhhh, what can I do?
I don't care.
It smells good.
It smells good.
I'm glad to hear that Cecil is feeling better.
The condition of a soul engagement is that you must be able to connect with someone on a deeper level. But we've bonded over and over again over the ability to rebuild. We exchange a lot of magic power.
Because of that, before I knew it, it became easier for us to synchronize.
Our souls resonate with each other, to the point where we can establish an 'Engage'.
There's no need to rush the official 'Conjugation Soul (Spirit Link)', we'll find out how to do it soon.
I'm a slave even though I'm a 'spirit contractor'. I'm drenched in sweat in front of Nagi-sama ...... ah.
But Cecil was teary-eyed.
I don't really care about that. It's just that I'm drenched in sweat, or that my pajamas are so transparent because of it that I can see the shape of my body too well. Or that it's more erotic than being completely naked.
Yeah, I'm a master and a "soul mate" but I don't mind at all. I'd rather welcome it.
But, well, that's just the way it is.
"I'd better have Aine wipe me clean. I'll go get her.
'Oh, but first: ......
Cecil raised himself up.
He half-turned on the bed and sat upright, facing me.
'I, Cecil-Falot, will be Nagi-sama's 'slave fiancée' (Fortune Slave) and will serve her all the time in this lifetime. I don't know what will happen in the next life, but I'm sure we will be together forever. Isn't that nice, Nagi-sama?
Yeah. Sure.
I might be tiny in the next life, you know?
That's fine for Cecil.
If I were to suddenly knock on Nagi's door in the next life, would you accept it?
That's okay. I'll come up with a reason.
Nagi-sama, you are a man of logic.
'I'm sure this won't change in my rebirth.
That's part of why I love you so much, Nagi.
After saying that, Cecil kissed the ring on his ring finger - and then - he smiled.
'Cecil-Falot, as Nagi-sama's first 'soul assignee', will be with you until the end of all worlds. I look forward to working with you in the future. Nagi-sama.
That's why Cecil and I have officially 'engaged' our souls.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
What the hell? Why? Nagi-sama and me!
Yeah. Not the 'marriage' part, but the 'spirit link' part, which binds the souls together.
Yes, I know that much! Nagi-sama and I are in different positions, and I'm not going to terminate the master-servant contract at ......, but are you serious? A joke or ...... mistake or ......
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Eeeeeeeen?
What I wanted to do with Cecil was the prelude to that 'Engage' thing.
Same thing! Such a ...... Nagi-sama is me?
Cecil's little body is trembling. He's clenching the blanket in his little fists, half-hiding his face. His bare shoulders, his forehead, and the tips of his long ears are all red.

Yes, let me ask you something.

Cecil sighed and patted his chest.
'It's very Nagi-sama. Nah, is that what you mean?'
'Of course, the main reason I want Cecil to be there for me all the time is because I want him to be there for me.
Na Nagi-sama!
Cecil hugs the blanket and rolls around on the bed.
It's cute, but I'm not feeling well, so please don't do that.
It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any more of my body heat. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things.
With a plop, tears spilled from Cecil's eyes.

I can recognize Cecil even though I'm not touching him.
The parts of Cecil that you can usually see, and the parts that you cannot usually see.
The soft and the hard parts of Cecil.
Where Cecil is puffed up and where Cecil is smooth.
Cecil's warmth and warmth.
I wandered around all over Cecil...
─ In the middle of Cecil's chest, my hand stopped.
'I found .......'
It hurts.
I felt like something was vibrating beyond the palms of my hands.
The 'I' resonating with Nagi-sama is probably right here.
Yes.
I know.
This is the power of Revive LV3. We're more connected to Cecil than ever before.
I can feel the magical energy flowing through Cecil's body.
My eyes are flickering.
Before I knew it, I was able to see the flow of magic created by the Reassembling Ability.
It clings to Cecil's body and connects me to him.
The breathing, the heartbeat, the magic power.
And the area around each other's chests where we have souls.
It's enough to make the line between the two of us indistinguishable.
We've come so far. Let's finish this up.
'So, let's take our vows, Fluffy ...... hiya ...... Nagi-sama.
I don't know how to do it officially.
So I'm going to try to use our own, original words.
"I, Souma-Nagy, wish you an indelible bond with Cecil Farot.
"I, Cecil Farot, wish to form an eternal and lasting bond with you, Soma Nagi.
No matter what form it takes.
"Lest we lose sight of each other in the myriad of worlds.
"The promise of the soul knot, 'Engage the soul'
The center of Cecil's chest glowed with light.
A circle of light emerged through the thin loungewear.
The one that appeared from the center of it - was a small "person".
The size of it was about the size of a palm.
The whole body is shining in gold.
You are not wearing any clothes.
The figure──is the very same as Cecil. A tiny Cecil, and an even smaller one.
"Is this the soul of Cecil ......?
Cecil is asleep before I know it.
Happy, eyes closed.
Instead, the golden Cecil reaches out to me.
"The person who gave light to the evil one. The one who gave me the light in a terrible day.
Cecil's soul kissed the palm of my hand.
Then she pulled out a strand of her own hair and wrapped it around the ring finger of my left hand.
'More than a 'contract', I want you to know that I want you to know that I'm not a 'contractor'.
Cecil's soul touched my chest.
With a pop, a warm light drew a circle in the center of my chest.
Then Cecil's Spirit ran up my arm and pulled out my hair.
This time I wrap it around Cecil's ring finger.
''Please 'I' A person with whom I have a crack.''
"Forever.
"Till the End of All Worlds.
"May the mystery - and all the members of my people - be guided by the same interpreter to the end of the night.
shuffling
The soul turned into a circle of light and was sucked into Cecil's chest.
Cecil kept his eyes closed.
His fever is ...... normal. His heartbeat, and his breathing, is also gentler.
I wonder if this is a 'soul agreement' success.
If I display Cecil's status for an experiment...
"Cecil Farot.
Title: Slave Fiancée, Fortune Slave
Soul connection: strength, medium.
State: great recovery in progress.
Unique Skills: "Magical Aptitude LV3", "Double Casting (Double Casting) LV1" and "■■■■■ LV1".
Cecil's status has changed!
There are more invisible skills.
It seems that this will be released once "Kizuna" is officially established.
Moreover, it even displays your health status.
What about me?
"SOUMA-NAGI.

'Ability rebuilding' type skills are on the rise!
The "Fast Rebuild" is for one person only, but it can be rebuilt on the fly at high speed. But only in an emergency?
...... What's the rest of it hard to do? .......
The other one remains blank. Will this one be available once the 'unity spirit' is established?
'Cecil, are you okay? How are you feeling?
...... No more, Nagi-sama ...... and I ...... and I'm going to put it away. I am.
Cecil is in my arms. He's asleep with his fingers in his mouth.
"...... Cecil?
I can't stop being happy and happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy ...... like I can't stop being happy. ...Huh?
Oh, I woke up.
Cecil opened his eyes in my arms and looked around from side to side as if he didn't know where he was.
'Huh? Huh?
Are you awake?
Oh, that's strange. I was wondering what would happen if Nagi and I became one, and then we melded together for a hundred years or so, and then we became one physically and mentally, and now we're going to have to do the 'ability rebuilding' together. ...... Huh? Nagi and I are here. Separate. Huh?
Cecil is staring, looking at his left hand.
It's the place where the soul wraps around my hair.
"...... I have a ring born to me. No, this is ...... a piece of Nagi's?
It was a black ring. It's a really nondescript, shiny black ring.
Oh, it looks like me.
And there is a small ring on the ring finger of my left hand. It's silver and as thin as a hair.
This must be part of Cecil's soul, right?
Because when I touch it, he looks so ticklish.
'So Cecil, how are you feeling?'
I'm so nervous I'm dying of happiness.
You look fine.
I touch Cecil's forehead. He freaks out. His eyes are closed, and he's shaking a little. But his fever is ...... going down. The sweat on my neck and forehead has gone down. Your breathing has calmed down. Most importantly, he's gone from wobbly to lightheaded. That's good.
I feel fine. I'm feeling fine, no fever, no lightheadedness. Ah, but ......
Kun Kun Kun, soooooooo.
Cecil put his face close to his own nightie.
Then he looks at me and looks like he's about to cry.
'Oh, I'm drenched in sweat. In front of Nagi-sama? I mean, you're so close to us. Ahhhhhh, what can I do?
I don't care.
It smells good.
It smells good.
I'm glad to hear that Cecil is feeling better.
The condition of a soul engagement is that you must be able to connect with someone on a deeper level. But we've bonded over and over again over the ability to rebuild. We exchange a lot of magic power.
Because of that, before I knew it, it became easier for us to synchronize.
Our souls resonate with each other, to the point where we can establish an 'Engage'.
There's no need to rush the official 'Conjugation Soul (Spirit Link)', we'll find out how to do it soon.
I'm a slave even though I'm a 'spirit contractor'. I'm drenched in sweat in front of Nagi-sama ...... ah.
But Cecil was teary-eyed.
I don't really care about that. It's just that I'm drenched in sweat, or that my pajamas are so transparent because of it that I can see the shape of my body too well. Or that it's more erotic than being completely naked.
Yeah, I'm a master and a "soul mate" but I don't mind at all. I'd rather welcome it.
But, well, that's just the way it is.
"I'd better have Aine wipe me clean. I'll go get her.
'Oh, but first: ......
Cecil raised himself up.
He half-turned on the bed and sat upright, facing me.
'I, Cecil-Falot, will be Nagi-sama's 'slave fiancée' (Fortune Slave) and will serve her all the time in this lifetime. I don't know what will happen in the next life, but I'm sure we will be together forever. Isn't that nice, Nagi-sama?
Yeah. Sure.
I might be tiny in the next life, you know?
That's fine for Cecil.
If I were to suddenly knock on Nagi's door in the next life, would you accept it?
That's okay. I'll come up with a reason.
Nagi-sama, you are a man of logic.
'I'm sure this won't change in my rebirth.
That's part of why I love you so much, Nagi.
After saying that, Cecil kissed the ring on his ring finger - and then - he smiled.
'Cecil-Falot, as Nagi-sama's first 'soul assignee', will be with you until the end of all worlds. I look forward to working with you in the future. Nagi-sama.
That's why Cecil and I have officially 'engaged' our souls.
What the hell?Why?Nagi-sama and me!Yeah. Not the 'marriage' part, but the 'spirit link' part, which binds the souls together.Yes, I know that much!Nagi-sama and I are in different positions, and I'm not going to terminate the master-servant contract at ......, but are you serious? A joke or ...... mistake or ......I'm sorry, I'm sorry.Eeeeeeeen?What I wanted to do with Cecil was the prelude to that 'Engage' thing.Same thing!Such a ...... Nagi-sama is me?Cecil's little body is trembling. He's clenching the blanket in his little fists, half-hiding his face. His bare shoulders, his forehead, and the tips of his long ears are all red.I sit in the chair next to the bed and look into Cecil's face.'There's a deeper reason for this,'Yes, let me ask you something.In fact, I heard that if you make a 'soul promise' you can recover a great deal with special effects.For that reason?"Because it's not looking good for you, Cecil. The healer won't be here until tomorrow night.'I don't think you should fix the future for that reason!'Besides, it seems that when we 'soul-commit', we both awaken and get new skills....... That makes sense.Cecil sighed and patted his chest.'It's very Nagi-sama. Nah, is that what you mean?''Of course, the main reason I want Cecil to be there for me all the time is because I want him to be there for me.Na Nagi-sama!Cecil hugs the blanket and rolls around on the bed.It's cute, but I'm not feeling well, so please don't do that.It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any more of my body heat. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things.With a plop, tears spilled from Cecil's eyes.'It's not fair, Nagi-sama. Last time, you stopped halfway through the ritual ......Before?It's time for the Festival of the White Knot....... That one.It's the one where the slave makes a master-servant contract with his master, even if he is reincarnated in the future, through the power of the "God of Covenants".Why do you want to do that now?I wanted to be Nagi's forever, and Nagi refused to do so. ......No, not when it's a 'reincarnated master-servant contract'.Why?Because if we're reborn in a world without a master-slave covenant, we're in trouble.Cecil's eyes darted to the ground.Huh?...... Maybe Cecil wasn't aware of this?To why I rejected The Festival of the White Knot.'I'm sorry, I didn't explain it well enough. Listen to me, Cecil.Yes, sir.''The 'reincarnation but master-servant contract' means that the master-servant contract will be in place when Cecil and I are reborn, right?There's an otherworldly summoning, so there must be reincarnation.That's fine, it's what world we'll be reincarnated in.In this world, I'd be fine with "master and slave from birth".But what if we are reincarnated in a world where there is no "master-slave contract" like the world I was from?There are two possible patterns.1 I lead Cecil around with his collar and he calls the police. I am arrested.2 Since there is no "master-slave contract", I and Cecile cannot meet each other.Or one of us will never be born. Let's hope for the next incarnation.The God of Contracts doesn't seem to be very flexible.''That's why I thought the 'Future Master-Servant Contract' was a bad idea.Nagi, this is very logical!It's just that kind of personality.I know what you think, Nagi-sama.Yeah. So, what do you want to do?.................. It's a tease, Nagi.Cecil puffed out his cheeks and turned his head to the side.'I belong to ...... Nagi-sama.Cecil looked at me with his bright red eyes.I put the crumpled blanket beside me and sit upright on the bed.I speak out, one word at a time, broken up. I break it up into words.I want to be with you forever, in whatever form that may be.Thanks, Cecil.It's embarrassing.I'm not used to this kind of thing, you know.But it's difficult, Nagi-sama. I don't know the Demon Race's 'soul engagement' ceremony. There's no choice but to look for the Demon Race's records. Even if I can find it, it should be quite a complicated ceremony.'A ritual that brings two people together as one living being.'Yes. 'It's all about uniting breath and magic. All the rituals are meant to bring the two of you closer together. Each tribe has its own lore. Taking a bath together, sleeping hand in hand, spending half a month in a temple alone with no one to see - it's very difficult to be 'one'. Then we 'connect' with each other and say the vows afterwards.'Yeah. So, I've got a few things I want to try.I need to get Cecil back on his feet as soon as possible, so I'll let you cheat.I have the skills to do that.It's how we've made the connection so many times before."This is good.I picked up Cecil."Light."Nah, nagihima?I'm going to do something for Cecil.What the hell?If you're having a hard time or feel like quitting, just tell me.I'm not going to be so overwhelmed, though.I sat down on the bed with Cecil in my arms. Then I sit Cecil down in front of me.'...... is, yes. Go ahead. Nagi-sama.''The 'soul engagement' rituals are meant to be a way for the two of you to connect on a deeper level, right?'Ha, yes. That's why it's so difficult.Okay. Okay, let's do it your way.lightlyI put my hand on Cecil's left breast from behind.A slippery sensation.This is indeed the villa of the Ilgafa lord. I'm sure you'll be able to find it.It's thin and soft, and it's ...... a great way to get a good look at Cecil's shape.I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it. This is a therapeutic act.Okay.''The purpose of the 'soul promise' is to make Cecil a great healer. Me and Cecil's magic will slowly circulate and become one.'Yes!Please do so, Nagi.Cecil looked back over his shoulder and looked at me.''I will do anything to become one with you, Nagi-sama!''Okay. Then activate "Ability Rebuild, Skill Structure, Lv 3.I activated the skill.I invoke Cecil's skill in the window that appears in front of me.Then I lightly touch the letters with my fingertips.'Connecting deeply' is something I've done many times before. 'Ability Rebuild' is a cheat skill that allows you to do that. I'm going to see if I can't make a soul commitment with this.But I'm not going to push it too hard. I won't move the skill.Cecil has a fever, so I don't want to put too much pressure on him.We just need to circulate our magic so that our souls will think that we are one.'............ is haha.'You okay, Cecil?It's okay. It's a strange ...... that's different from the usual. ......Cecil leaned against me and sighed gently.The fever is still there. My heart is beating fast. But her breathing is calming down.Slowly, I pour the magic power into Cecil.As Cecil breathes in, I send magic power to him, and as he breathes out, I get magic from Cecil at the same time. I circulate the magic power so that Cecile and I become one.Repeat. Timing.Inhale, exhale. Flowing, inhaling.Cecil's modest chest swells and dips.Shape-shifting in my hands, pushing back.I pour my magic power into Cecil, and receive Cecil's magic power.It repeats. It goes in circulation.Chapu, chapu, chapu, and we stir each other up.Like a single living thing....... This is different from the usual.Really?It's like a different ...... feeling where Nagi-sama comes in.Cecil chap, licked his lips and looked at me.I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. I'll ...... wobble .......Cecil's consciousness is clear.But he looks like he's going to melt.It's just like being in the bath ...... with Nagi-sama. Calm and happy ...... feelings.I'm just circulating my magic, I guess.That and because the level of 'ability rebuilding' has increased.I'm able to adjust my magic power better.Cecil is taking it easy and leaning against me. Her tiny body is snuggled up to me. The top of Cecil's head is under my chin. The top of Cecil's head is under my chin.As I do this, it's as if the boundary between my body and Cecil's has disappeared.I feel as if I can understand everything about him.Where does he want me to touch him, and what does he want to become?Cecil is relaxed with his hands hanging lazily down.Sometimes I go, "Huh," and it's like an electric current went through me. And when I ask him if he's okay....... I feel like I'm going to be numb the whole time I'm touching Nagi.Cecil murmured vaguely.'Little by little, the fluffy is getting stronger ...... but it's soothing and ...... ah.'Did I mention it's like soaking in a bath?Then I'll let Cecil continue to 'just feel good'.I touch the 'Ability Rebuild' window.I continue the circulation of magic power.Cecil seems to be okay, so I make it faster.My body is getting hotter, little by little. On the contrary, Cecil's heat is receding.My heartbeats are synchronizing, too.Cecil's breathing is slow and steady. I match it with her.I can feel that the two of them are connected."The demon race is a resounding race, isn't it?I said.'Yes. I am resonating with Nagi.Cecil replied, as if he knew what I was going to say beforehand.'Do you know where exactly it is that you're resonating with me?'The reason I thought we could "engage" with Cecil is because the demon race is a "resonant race".Cecil and I have been resonating with each other since the moment we met.If that echoing thing is really a soul...Cecil, the demon race, could sense where it was. That's what I thought."So, Cecil.Okay, I'll go to ............ and find out.Cecil took my right hand.Slowly, she brings it close to her skin.It's a strange feeling.It's as if my body and Cecil's body are fused with each other.The overlapping hands and the magical power of the two of us scan Cecil.I can recognize Cecil even though I'm not touching him.The parts of Cecil that you can usually see, and the parts that you cannot usually see.The soft and the hard parts of Cecil.Where Cecil is puffed up and where Cecil is smooth.Cecil's warmth and warmth.I wandered around all over Cecil... In the middle of Cecil's chest, my hand stopped.'I found .......'It hurts.I felt like something was vibrating beyond the palms of my hands.The 'I' resonating with Nagi-sama is probably right here.Yes.I know.This is the power of Revive LV3.
