fill it for five days.”

“Yes.
I signed a contract with a little bird like you.
You can stay here only if you sign a contract with a Spirit King.”

She said that to make fun of the bird.
However, the little bird’s black pea-like eyes shone unusually.

“No, not you.
Water, fire, ground, wind.
Things like that.
My grandfather signed with the Spirit King of the Wind, and my cousin signed with the Spirit King of Fire.
But what about me? Because I did it with you.”

“Please? What kind of request?”

The bird flapped its little beak at the words.
Suddenly, it seemed to be at a loss for words.

“I don’t know, so I’m asking you to tell me.”

The bird bumped its beak again.

The words flashed with light.
And Asha’s face turned blue at once.


“No! No, no! Hurry up and make it small! Again, small! Come on! …?”

The light flashed, but the appearance of the bird remained the same.
Instead, it seemed that the shape of the yellow bird became smaller because it was shining.

“It’s not… Are you getting bigger?”

Asha opened her eyes wide, and the bird flapped its little wings in embarrassment.
The light glistened many times, but the bird did not grow.

It wasn’t until after a long time – Asha dissuaded it, saying it would become a small thing- that the bird accepted its reality.

“Oh, no, all of a sudden? Is it my fault all of a sudden?”

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

Early the following day, Asha barely opened her eyes, feeling tired rather than sleepy.
Last night, she fussed with the bird and didn’t seem to have slept.

“Fafnir or something exudes heat…”

In addition, it was slightly hot even in winter because of the hot air.
Asha got up slowly and opened the window with a groan.

Powerful enough to warm the entire palace just by signing a contract.
The power of Fafnir, the Spirit of Fire, felt that the nickname Fire Dragon was somewhat lacking.

The driving force that allowed Alexei to win the position of the next Emperor over his uncles and parents.
And that’s probably what all the boys and girls who participated in the last ceremony hoped for.

It seems that the compatibility with this contractor is good.
Seeing it so excited that it can’t control its strength.>

A bird became thick and popped out of the new embroidery engraved on Asha’s pajamas.

“Can’t you tell it to calm down?”

“How old is Fafnir?”

Eventually, Asha sighed deeply.
She realized in a day that she couldn’t properly converse with this spirit.

‘But there’s still something good!’

Asha smiled and opened the drawer under the table.
It was a dark chocolate brownie wrapped in opaque paper.


After a meeting with the Emperor yesterday, Asha returned to the kitchen to tell Pavel, who must have been surprised.
But Pavel didn’t show up if he was still looking for the cake with all his might.
Asha thought momentarily and left a note, but suddenly the leftover dough caught her eye in the kitchen.

She baked a hard chocolate cake-like brownie with it and brought it.

“Haaaam*.”

*TN: onomatopoeia for yawning

When she took a bite, a thick and rusty taste with a different texture from the fondant chocolate wrapped around her tongue.
Making her happy.

“Okay, okay.
What’s your name?”

“No, not that.
If you put it that way, I’m just a human being, but I have the name, Asha.
This is Fafnir.”

Asha pointed with her eyes at the air where she felt the warmth.
The bird peeped and put the brownie in its mouth roughly.

There is no need.
>

How can you raise your nose at the topic of peeping? Asha grumbled, resting her chin on the window frame and mumbling her brownie.
The sun was rising, and the sky was painted pink and blue.

“All right.
Then your name is Phoebe.”

“Even chicks have names, but the supreme great spirit doesn’t even have a name.”

“It’s sophisticated.
Phoe-Be-.”

“Oh? I just realized?”

And for a moment, the argument between Asha and the bird continued again.
Asha gasped and stared at the bird.

“There should be rules between us.”

Asha grabbed the bird with both hands, shook it three times to the left and three times to the right, and then rereleased it.
The chick on the window frame staggered from side to side.

“There should be rules between us.”
