Third pov

The manor was being searched from head to toe. Looking for the small human that held the key to fix the relationship between the Regale family and the spirits. But Atticus, was growing impatient.

"Lord we can't find her,"

"Tsk, she could of escaped with the spirit." He frowned as the air grew chilly.

"Father?"

Atticus turned to see Sophie cradling the small spirit in her arm's. He was holding a bundle of flowers. Good the spirt is still here.

"What's going on? Did something happen?"

"It seems the human has escaped. We are trying to locate her." He told his daugter.

"What? What happened?"

"Im uncertain at the moment. But you should stay in your room for now."

"I understand, Astrel lets wait till they find her." She looked down to the confused spirit.

"Alright..."

"Then we will be in my room," she curtsied and rushed off.

" If only I could of gotten that girl to sever her contract sooner." He though to himself.

"Lord!" A servant rushed up to Atticus." A fairy circle has appeared!"

"What!?"

He and the servent rushed outside to se a circle of mushrooms had grown. The mushrooms had a unique discoloration to them that seemed almost magical.

"Who found this?"

"Lady Sophie, she said it appeared after she and the spirit played together."

Atticus grinned,"so the spirit has made a means for the other spirits to return. We should find the human quickly so we can expand the fairy circles around the Regale territory as much as possible."

"Yes lord."

From the trees Lee stood and listened to the conversation. Frowning as the dukes cold aura brushed against her.

So we were right about the reason. Even so how did the fea get casted out from this area? Astrel hasn't reacted in a negative way so it cant be a poison. If it was magic then it only worked the onetime it was casted not affecting Astrel. But I'm not sure about the rules of magic here in this world.

Luckily I had a recipe in my synthesize menu for fungus/mushroom growth. So it looks like an actual fairy circle.

With sophie spreading the news about the fairy circle bait as planned then I'm sure to see someone. Then again thats only if the perp is still around.

Till then, I'll just have to continue to draw them out.

Still not here? Even after all the other circles that sprouted on the property?

It's been hours and its the night is closing in. The chances of the person talking action now after all this time was slim to begin with. I shouldn't even be involved.

I wonder if Sloth had planned for me to go this path in this new life. Making a stupid decision to have strength even thought my body can't handle long periods of athletic activity. I haven't even chosen a class. But I don't think any of the classes I know are useful. Monk or martial artist would make sense in my strenght and speed stats, but I know my body wouldn't last long in a fight. Magic is my shitty stats, and I only have two abilities that are magic based.

Though I should research more into it. If possible I'd like to do somthing that would be simple and easy to handle.

"Ahhhh!" A scream poped out from underneath the tree with a loud snap. When I looked down I saw somthing glow a low purple light.

"Hey." I said. Lightly shaking the rope that was tied to the tree branch i was standing on. "Whatcha doing?"

"Tsk." The person trapped was wiggling around.

"Ooo looks like I caught me a feisty one!" I sung yanking up the rope." Should I gut the fish and leave it to bleed out? Or let it die from lack of air," I asked outloud as I sat on my catch with a my bone knife close to their neck.

"Joseph Regale? Why is a son of the duke doing out so late. With..."

Apraisle:

[Runic stones: is placed around in a correct order with the proper runes placed. It is possible to do many types of sealing, and area affect magics.]

"...Runic stones?"

He stayed quiet.

"You won't answer me? Fine I guess i can just show dear old daddy these runic stones. Maybe he'll know what kind of spell you tried to cast."

He didn't make a sound. Fuck he's pissing me off.

"Astrel, you can come out with Sophie now." I called below.

Astrel glowed very brightly, revealing a suprised Sophie. With the light I could see who I was sitting on. To me an average looking elf male with a darker green hair color then Sophie.

"Joseph what are you trying to do." Sophie asked.

"I don't have to answer you."I pressed the knife closer to his neck.

"Oh you will, tell us what you were doing. Unless you rather explain yourself to your father. If by chance, you had anything to do with the incidents that not only lead to Sophie's kidnapping, but also the lack of spirits and fea around here. Then I think your papa would be very unhappy with you." I smirked. Somehow I felt like a real dick right now.

"Unhappy would be understatement, human."

Oh shit, daddy's here. Why the fuck is he here? Shit, now I can't continue my interrogation.

"Father..." Joseph muttered softly. By looking at him he looked like he was about to piss himself.

"Lord Atticus, I'm sorry to be rude. But I'm trying to get a confession here,"

"Father he was carrying these runic stones with him." Sophie held up the bag glowing a soft purple. Sophie was helping and im glad, but it really sucks all the fun out of everything I was going to do to get my answers. This got boring...

"These stones are for sealing transportation and spirits transportation."

So its that straight forward. Jesus really? That so bland! "What about Sophie then?" My irritation got the better of me there."are you involved with that too. Why because she was getting a clinic?" I gripped his hair. "Or some other petty bullshit, that you used as an excuse for what you did to her?"

Now he's crying, what a fucking waste. Yeah I get yourydad's terrifying but your such a pussy. I sighed cutting the rope giving the poor basterd to his father. God this is getting so boring, how is this getting boring? Im in a god danm fantasy world!

"He better be punished. Severely." I glared at the still shaking elf.

"Im both tired and annoyed. So I'm going to leave. And before you try to get me to seperate myself from Astrel. The whole ordeal with the fea is that guys fault you make him clean it up." I hissed.

Then a sharp electric feeling flew through me. I clutched my stomach as I felt my insides twist around. Covered my mouth feeling that I was going to hurl. I feel hot...

"Master!" Astrel flew to me but I fell to the grass. Taking in sharp breaths. My stamina is low already? I haven't moved that much after getting up though. What the fuck is this!?

"Sophie whats going on with master!?"

"I don't kn..."

Buzzing noises and the echoing of their voices exploded into my ears. My body. What's happening? Fuck what the fuck is this!?

As my body was growing hot. It all stopped. My eyes were exposed to bright lights, and my ears heard a framilar voice.

"Hey welcome back,"

I squinted at the source of the voice to see Sloth smiling.

What the fuck?
