Chapter 1, Episode 15: Hurry up and wake up.

"Gugyaaaaaaa! ! ! ! ! "
　
　A scream echoed through the forest.
　Since then, Farne-sama was left in charge of one of the spirits, and Cyril and I were in pursuit of the one who ran away.
　Because if you miss it, they will come back to kill you.
　I have to kill him because he will do terrible things to Farne-sama.
　I found Zane running away, so I cast a spell as Cyril had taught me and hit him.
　Then, only both feet were cleanly gone.

『See, you're not adjusting the power well.
　It was so intense that both of his legs disappeared.』

　I was actually supposed to attack the legs and make him fall down and stop him in his tracks, but the adjustment didn't work and the legs disappeared.

　My attacks don't seem to draw blood, and Zane, who has lost a leg, is rolling around in pain.

『It's no good now.
　Poor thing, you should kill him by aiming at his head.』

　I nodded in agreement at Cyril's suggestion.
　I don't understand it, but I guess I should aim for the head!
　A ball of light can be created quickly if I pray for it.
　She said this is the power of the saints.
　Cyril made it so that I could use it.
　But I just can't get the power to behave.

　Whoosh！ ! I hit Zane with a light bullet and it hit him in the stomach, and then he rolled around painfully again and said something.

　I was supposed to have aimed for the head.

　This is quite difficult.

　I was feeling dispirited.

『For a first timer, you are good.
　Try a little harder.
　I'm sure your friends caught the other one, too.
　No need to panic.』

　Yes! I got it!
　Since we're at it, let's practice our power!
　I fired a few shots and Zane struggled and said something, but after a few more shots, he stopped moving.
　Thank God! Now he can't attack me or Farne-sama anymore!
　Patricia was also avenged!
　It's okay, because he doesn't move anymore!
　How about it? I looked at Cyril.

『………Good. Well done.』

　I smiled happily when she told me that.
　　

　■□■

『……Oh, my. Isn't that spirit one of the children you summoned?』

　The spirit of the tree picked up a dead body and brought it to me.
　I think it's Pesne.
　I wonder if she got flattened?

　It's so flat I can't really tell.

　I couldn't get the culprit out of her.

　The spirit apologized and said he was sorry, but I told him I was the same way and that I wasn't mad at him, and he smiled happily and squeaked.
　Although they don't have any facial expressions, I can somehow feel their feelings.

　But still, what do I do now?

『You can live in this forest if you want to.
　As long as you're here, no human being can touch you.』

　Is it okay? With Farne-sama?

『Yeah, you can be together.
　In fact, it would be more dangerous to go back to the human world. I'm not trying to drive you out of here.』

　Thank you! Thank you! Cyril a nice person!
　She smiled at me and said I was overreacting when I jumped up and down.

　There were a lot of bad and sad things that happened.
　New spirits and Cyril have become friends.

　Farne-sama was also saved.
　Farne-sama, floating in the light, is really sleeping like an angel.
　Hurry, hurry up and wake up.
　I want to hear your voice. I want to be patted like a good girl.

　I'll be a good girl until Farne-sama wakes up.
　Mama said that if you keep smiling and laughing, good things will happen to you.

　I was able to meet Farne-sama, Cyril, and the spirits because I followed Mama's advice!　

　And thank you, God, for listening to me.
　I am very happy now.

　When I hug the ball of light, I was surrounded by a warm feeling.
　Hurry up and wake up, Farne-sama.
