Part 5
Inspired by Luna and Tito, Giselle made her way to the rocky shore.
“Fuhh…”
She held her hand over the rock and focused her mind on it.
The whole area was bathed in blue light.
Then.
“O rock, be my fortress!”
Rumble! Rumble, rumble, rumble
Huge rocks rose to the surface and were assembled with tremendous speed.
A few seconds later, a huge stone wall rose.
“Hah, hah…!”
“Wow, Giselle, you can do stuff like this!”
Lexia, who had come to check on the situation, looked up at the meticulously constructed stone wall and clapped her hands.
“Are you training in the spirit arts?”
“Yes. Luna-san and Tito-san are working so hard. I can’t lose to them.”
“As expected! But don’t be too hard on yourself. I’m worried about Giselle because you’re taking on too much by yourself.”
“But I feel uncomfortable when I don’t do anything…”
As Giselle said this, a voice came from behind her.
“It’s just like Lexia-kun said. If you run out of power before the final battle, you’ll have nothing to show for it.”
“Gloria-sama!”
When she turned around, she saw Gloria coming towards her.
“Are you taking a break?”
“Yes. Luna-kun and Tito are training together. They want to improve each other’s skills. I’m glad that Tito has found a good friend.”
Gloria smiled happily and turned her attention to Giselle.
“By the way, Giselle-kun. You seem to have something to worry about.”
“Yes. I can manipulate nature through spirit art, but I’m not sure how to do it to seal the alien beast… and I really don’t know if I can fulfill such a big role…”
Then Gloria’s slit eyes narrowed slightly.
“The spirit art is not a power you carry alone. The island you love, the earth, nature and the spirits will help you.”
“Nature…?”
A faint voice reaches Giselle’s ears as she mutters this.
The sound of the tide, the rustle of the trees, the calls of the birds, the faint sound of the wind carrying the sand.
For Giselle, the waves, the trees, the wind, and the sand are her closest friends, always at her side.
Giselle smiled and stroked the rock gently as if celebrating the sound of nature.
Gloria smiled as she gently watched over Giselle.
“I can’t say for sure about the spirit arts because I’ve only gleaned from the literature that’s been left behind… But there is no doubt that the spirit arts are a power given to you by the spirits to counteract the threat of the planet. Its use must surely be ingrained in your instincts.”
“Yes…!”
Giselle laughed as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
“However, the spirit arts are not inexhaustible. The only thing you can do now, Giselle-kun, is to take it easy and prepare your body and mind for the battle.”
“Yes! It is important to think, but if you think too much, you will not be able to do what you can do! So let’s take a break and eat some delicious fruit!”
Lexia, as if she had been waiting for this, grabs Giselle’s hand and walks out.
Giselle’s face, which had been tense, relaxed slightly.
“Yes!”
She laughed and began to run.
And so the days of training passed.
＊＊＊
And that night.
“Everyone, the bath is ready!”
Back at Giselle’s house, after dinner.
Next to Giselle, Lexia announced grandly, puffing out her chest.
“I appreciate that, but… why are you being so pompous?”
“Because I also helped fill the hot water!”
“You just stood there and watched, didn’t you?”
“No, I didn’t! It’s amazing, you know, Giselle can control the flames and boil water in no time at all!”
“U-uh, I guess you were just watching…?”
“No, I was right next to her, cheering her on a lot!”
“Fufu. I’m so grateful to you, Lexia-san, for all your hard work.”
“Giselle, you shouldn’t spoil Lexia so much.”
Lexia smiled at Gloria.
“So Gloria-sama, after you!”
“Hmm, are you sure?”
Gloria, who was unpacking, moved her panther ears in surprise.
Gloria would be staying at Giselle’s house as well.
“Of course! The bath at Giselle’s house is so nice, and it has a view of the ocean!”
“We have all kinds of bath salts, so you can use whatever you like.”
“Thank you so much for joining us for our training. Please take your time and relax.”
“Really? Well, I’ll take your word for it──”
Gloria almost stood up and shifted her eyes to Tito.
“It’s a reunion, after all. Tito, after all this time, why don’t we take a bath together?”
“Huh? Y-yes!”
Tito’s cat ears perked up happily.
Lexia and the others smiled as they watched Tito walk with Gloria to the bathroom.
“Fufu. Tito-san must adore Gloria-sama very much.”
“Yes, it’s an important time for master and disciple to be together! It’s wonderful!”
“I guess it is. Lexia, don’t interrupt them.”
“I won’t!”
＊＊＊
“Wow. This is a spectacular view.”
Gloria rolled her eyes as she entered the bathroom.
The bathroom was spacious and semi-open.
The night sea glistened in the moonlight.
“Master, I’ll wash your back!”
“Oh, please do.”
Tito slid a sponge with plenty of lather onto Gloria’s back.
“How does it feel, Master?”
“Yes, it feels good.”
“Hehehe, that’s great.”
Tito’s white tail wagged, and she beamed happily.
“Yesterday, when I was about to be crushed by the lava titan… Master came to me and made me feel very relieved. I’m glad we’re still together like this.”
Gloria smiles and closes her eyes.
“I’m glad you’re doing well. You were able to control your powers without getting out of control.”
“Thanks to Lexia-san and Luna-san!”
“Yes. I have to thank them later.”
After pouring out the bubbles, Gloria stood up.
“Now, let’s take turns. I’ll wash Tito’s back this time.”
“Fuwaaa. N-no, that’s…!”
“Fufu. What is that? Don’t you want to accept your master’s proposal?”
“Y-yes…!”
Gloria washed Tito’s back.
“How is the strength?”
“Y-yes, very nice!”
“That’s good. I’ll wash your hair, too.”
“Wawa, Master, that tickles!”
Tito laughed and squirmed as Gloria rinsed her hair with her foaming hands.
After carefully washing her hair, she rinsed off the bubbles with hot water and soaked herself in the bathtub.
“Haahhh, my exhaustion seems to be melting away…”
Tito’s cheeks relaxed.
Gloria smiled at Tito.
“I’d love to hear what kind of journey you’ve been on if you don’t mind me asking.”
Tito’s face lit up with a “Yes!”
She explained her journey since leaving the desert with a realistic sense of gesture.
“Then Lexia-san suddenly tried to jump off the cliff…! I was so surprised, but Luna-san quickly saved her with a piece of string, and it was so cool…!”
Gloria listened to Tito’s story, both surprised and impressed.
When she saw Tito talking happily, she blinked her eyes happily.
“I see. You really experienced a lot, didn’t you?”
“Yes! It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot! But I still want to grow a lot… As Master’s apprentice, I don’t want to embarrass you!”
Tito beamed and showed her little fangs.
Gloria’s eyes widened at her words, but she suddenly hugged Tito tightly.
“Ma-Master?”
Gloria stroked Tito’s hair and hugged her lovingly.
“You’ve got a little taller. And you’ve become very strong. You’ve worked hard.”
“…..”
Filled with joy and pride, Tito let out a small gurgling sound.
At that moment, she heard lively voices coming from outside the bathroom.
“Wait, Lexia! Are you sure you want to go in there? It’s definitely too small!”
“Giselle’s bathroom is huge! Besides, naked socializing is so important!”
“But, um, I hope I’m not intruding…?”
The sound of busy footsteps echoed outside the door as if they were struggling.
Tito and Gloria looked at each other and laughed.
“Hahaha. Don’t be shy; come on in.”
“Let’s relieve our tiredness together!”
“You hear that! Let’s go in!”
Lexia and the others opened the door and entered.
The bathroom was a bit smaller but more lively.
“Giselle-kun, are you able to control the spirit arts at will?”
Yes, Giselle’s power is quite amazing! Hey, Giselle, please show us!”
“Yes. O water, float in the air.”
“Wow, the water floats like soap bubbles!”
“Fufu. O water, make the rainbow shine!”
“Now it’s shining in rainbow colors! It’s beautiful!”
“I see, this is amazing… Even the best magician would not be able to control it so delicately.”
“But it really is beautiful. It’s as beautiful as the pirate’s treasure we saw in the ruins.”
“P-pirate treasure? What on earth are you talking about?”
“That’s right! In the jungle ruins, in addition to the stone tablets, we found a treasure hidden by pirates!”
“Huh?”
“There were a lot of scary traps, but we got through them with our wits, courage, and friendship!”
“I don’t think we got through, I think it’s more like we forced our way through…”
“And Lexia-san found a loophole to let us in from the ocean…”
The light voice echoed in the bathroom.
Soaking in the warm water, Lexia stretched out with satisfaction.
“It’s so much more fun when we all get in together! We can do our best tomorrow!”
In this way, the five of them released the fatigue from their bodies and souls.
