“Master… Are you a spirit? You got prettier!” Said Partner before quickly hugging me tightly.
“Uagh! Okay, relax! It can be that much, right?” I asked.
“W-Wow… Miss Maria, w-what kind of Job did you change into?” Asked Vennia.
“Huhh… I prefer to keep that a secret….” I said.
“O-oh… alright,”
“But definitely something changed….” Said Emeraldine.
She looked at me with even more fascination than her original gaze. It felt a bit overwhelming, especially her strong eyes. I do know that elves have an affixation with spirits, but I am not a complete one!
“To think that this Job thing that humans have would give you such power,” Said Lucifer in a lower voice.
“Now’s our turn, right?” Asked Laura.
“Can we go? Can we go?” Asked Takeshi.
“Sure, sure, go-ahead, kids,” I said.
After this short meeting where we preferred to leave questions and answers for later, everyone went to slowly change Jobs.
The kids went first, and they were indeed able to change Jobs. They chose Jobs that were related to what they could do, so Takeshi selected the Fisherman Job, while Laura selected something named Explosion Magician… Quite interesting.
Meanwhile, Emeraldine changed Jobs into something of even greater status than her current one, which was Spiritual Archer or something. I didn’t see it in detail.
Partner also changed Jobs into something fitting of her spear techniques, and Lucifer also was able to change Jobs surprisingly. So everyone got a bit stronger.
After this, we decided to finally move out of the Adventurer Guild.
We were all G-Rank Adventurers, with only Emeraldine being an F-Rank, but it’s not like we were too worried about that.
The evening was already approaching, so we decided to take a quick rest stop in a nearby plaza with many people. There was a large fountain where water came spurting out, and birds gathered around to drink and bathe in it.
We sat down there, and I took out some ice cream cones from my Inventory, and we enjoyed some ice cream while relaxing.
Soon, the night slowly approached, and that’s where the moment of truth would come. But overall, this day has been pretty nice as we did all sorts of things and enjoyed ourselves.
Perhaps it was just a day, but it definitely felt longer to me. I am happy to have all these friends at my side, so I don’t feel alone. Partner, Lucifer, Emeraldine, these two kids, Laura and Takeshi. We are already a big party…
Oh well, I shouldn’t ride off the rails yet. There’s a lot to do before we settle down as an official party of sorts, and the kids just got here yesterday. We still have yet to clear their story arc!
Ah, I read so many novels that even stuff like this I end up associating with stories…
“Maria, what kind of job did you get? P-Please tell me!” Asked Emeraldine.
“You’ve been keeping it a secret for some time now,” Muttered Lucifer.
“Spirit Job?” Partner asked.
“Ugh, fine, I’ll tell you… my Job is Dark Shadow Spectral Death Spirit Queen. It’s a long name,” I said.
“D-Dark Shadow Spectral Death Spirit Queen?! That’s certainly the longest Job name I’ve ever heard!” Emeraldine shouted with surprise.
“What does this mean? Has she really become a Spirit?” Muttered Lucifer once again.
“I did get the Characteristic Skill named Elemental Spirit if that answers your question,” I responded pridefully.
“Ppffff…! What? So you really… became an elemental spirit of Dark and Death Element. Plus, you’re also a Pandora Ghost?!” Shouted Lucifer.
“Lower your tone, you stupid lizard!” I said as I smacked his head.
SMACK!
“Ugh…!”
“Incredible… Maria never ceases to amaze me! You’re really going to become a spirit now… And with a Job!” Exclaimed Emeraldine.
“Cool!” Shouted Partner.
“Eeeh… I think you’re exaggerating it a bit. What’s so different from before? Just some powerups, but that’s all. Nothing really changed,” I said.
“W-What? Of course, it changed! Spirits are creatures of the world. By becoming one, you’ve already become part of the world too, Master!” Said Emeraldine.
I believe elves are a bit too fanatical of spirits…
“You’re once again exaggerating. It is not that much….” I sighed.
“B-But…!”
“Cut it out… Master is fine as she is!” Said Partner.
“A-Ah… I-I am not trying to say she’s different or something… I mean, she is now, but- Ugh, okay, maybe I am going a bit too far,” Emeraldine admitted with a sigh.
“You elves are always so obsessed with spirits and nature….” Said Lucifer.
“W-Well, what’s wrong with that?” Asked Emeraldine.
“Nothing, nothing. Let’s not make discussions out of nowhere, alright? Everything is fine here,” I said.
“Anyways, I wanted to know how I can find spirits to contract, Emeraldine. I did get something like a Spirit Summon and Spirit Mediator Skills,” I said.
“Y-You did?! Then it could be possible to find a spirit for you to make a contract with! Spirits usually only emerge near those they have an affinity with… so if Maria is Shadow and Death affinity, sprits of both elements should emerge,” Emeraldine explained.
“I see… Erm, how the heck do I do that?” I asked.
“Hmm… Usually, I called upon my spirits in the forest… Can you see them now, now that you’re one?” Asked Emeraldine.
Suddenly, two glowing lights emerged at each shoulder of this pretty elf. One light was yellowish-gold, while the other was emerald-green.
The yellow-gold light slowly took shape, resembling a shiny star, while the green one resembled a green seed with a leaf on top.
“Oooh! So these are spirits!” I said as I approached them, but the two seemed to dislike me and fear me.
They even hid behind Emeraldine.
“Huh? You guys don’t like me?” I asked.
“W-well, one is a spirit of light and the other of nature. Your primary elements are powerful, Maria, and they’re the opposites of Light and Nature, which are Dark and Death….” Emeraldine explained to me once again.
“Oh…”
I guess I won’t be getting any Light or Nature Spirits.
