A sudden message. Only the last sentence caught my eyes.
Some of the lost soul was restored. A few days had passed since the depleted soul incident occurred. It continued to be lost and there was no sign of recovery.
What was the change?
I didnât do anything. The 500 creatures had wracked their brains but hadnât come up with a solution. It meant that it occurred due to an external factorâŚ
âI canât tell.â
Something was occurring inside or outside the dungeon that I wasnât aware of.
It was only 0.1%. There was no change to Yihiâs condition.
ButâŚit was the first time it rose.
I needed to find out the reason behind this phenomenon.
âJulliom. Oswen.â
Chrisley was currently outside. She was helping Roy and Rose.
Among those remaining in the dungeon, these two were the most intelligent and faithful.
-The orc is hurt.
-Support the wounded!
-We need to manage the garden! By the way, how do we manage the garden?
-Acha! Acha!
The fire spirits were busy. Almost 100,000 spirits moved here and there without a break. They were vigorously completing tasks in the dungeon.
While the creatures were busy gaining strength, the dungeon was being neglected. Cleaning was Yihiâs task, but the spirits took the initiative while she was down.
The spirits managed Yihiâs garden and played with the Tree of Origin. The born spirits moved for only one person.
Father!
They wanted him to be happy.
He was mourning for the fairy, so they decided to fill her absent spot. There was no reason other than that.
Rei and Sera were intermediate spirits and supervised the work. Each one was weak but the combined strength of 100,000 spirits was sufficient for the work.
Then after one day.
-Ah!
-Father is a little happier!
The contract had been completed so the spirits were sensitive to changes in emotions.
It wasnât a large change but the spirits were satisfied with this.
-Letâs work harder.
-We need to fill the empty spot left by Fairy-nim.
-Acha! Acha!
The spirits became more energetic.
I was surprised after receiving the report from Julliom and Oswen.
âThis seems to be due to the spirits?â
Fairies and spirits were similar but different. It was almost impossible for them to affect each other. But Julliom and Oswen mentioned the spirits.
âYour Majesty. There are no other changes in the dungeon. If a change occurred then it is due to the spirits.â
âI also think the same.â
Julliom supported Oswenâs opinion in a polite manner.
âWhat did the spirits do to restore the soul?â
I couldnât help asking. The spirits didnât come near Yihi. No, they hadnât come near me lately.
âHeartâŚit might be.â
âHeart?â
What did that mean? I didnât understand what they meant by heart. That alone didnât explain the current situation.
Oswen noticed my feelings and answered more carefully.
âYour Majesty. Iâm a blacksmith. Putting my soul into the swordâŚI made all types of weapons to express it. What is a sword or a weapon? In fact, it is nothing more than a lump of iron. HoweverâŚif you work hard then the sword will return the favour. The harder it is hit with the hammer, the more different it will look. The spirits are similar to that right now.â
âThe spirits are working hard for the fairy and that is restoring the soul?â
âIt is similar, but the matter isnât that simple.â
It became more cryptic.
âThe spirits were born by Your Majesty. I donât know why but they blindly follow Your Majesty. Originally spirits arenât as obsessive. They donât even use the word âFatherâ for the spirit kings.â
I folded my arms.
It was a sign for him to continue.
Oswen continued talking.
âMaybeâŚthe spirits noticed subtle emotional changes in Your Majesty since the problem occurred to Fairy-nim. Due to the absence of Fairy-nim, they are working to fill the vacancy.â
âIt is unbelievable.â
âIf not, Fairy-nim might be recovering naturally. It is only a guess.â
Oswen stepped back.
I turned and looked at Julliom.
âDo you have the same opinion?â
Julliom. The chief of the dark elves. He took a deep breath.
âThe shamans have said this. If a lot of people feel a strong desire, sometimes it will become trueâŚif the approximately 100,000 spirits move together with the same mind, canât they fill the empty spots in the soul?â
It wasnât just the opinion of two people.
In that case, there was no reason not to believe. There were still many things that couldnât be understood about the soul. The lacking soul wasnât easy to fill up, but it might be possible.
âOkay. I will believe that the spirits are involved. Then what should I do?â
I wasnât sure.
I didnât believe it but I couldnât stay still.
I would move with the assumption that this was right.
Oswen laughed and said.
âLeave it alone. Just watch them approvingly.â
I carefully watched the movements of the spirits. It was like Oswen said. I watched and saw a correlation with the soul.
âSimple effort has an effect.â
The depleted soul started recovering little by little. It was only 1% a day but it was enough to feel hope.
ButâŚI didnât fully understand. I tried to understand but it was something that the 500 creatures couldnât pull off.
The spirits were the only ones who had an effect.
At first glance, it seemed like they were âplayingâ and didnât have a lot of influence on the dungeon.
However, little by little, every small part of the dungeon was getting better. I couldnât fail to notice. The spirits tried to fix every small gap.
-Father is watching.
-I will do my best!
-The Origin Fairy âYihiâ has recovered by 0.2%.
14.5% -> 14.7%
As soon as I watched them, the spirits moved with more sincerity. Yihiâs soul recovery rose faster. I was certain that the spirits were involved in the soul recovery.
âStriving for someone. It is a difficult task. Iâve only been trying for myself.â
I kept quietly watching but my mind was moving in complicated directions. I hadnât done that much for the spirits. Even so, they worked as hard as possible for my affection. It was different from the creatures bought from the Demon World Auction and from the store.
A blind faith. It was like this from the beginning. It was similar to Yihi, but she was tied to me with a contract. Chrisley became my subordinate due to the ceremony.
Although I had a contract with the spirits, it was just a transitional one. They couldnât change the contents of the contract if they didnât like it.
It was the first time. It was the first time that someone had such blind faith in me.
I had never felt this emotion in my previous life.
So it was awkward. I didnât know how to react.
âI tried to change. But I didnât change.â
I frowned.
I vowed to be completely different after coming back.
I would accept the opinion of others and not be alone.
I would go beyond the framework of a demon to become a true devil. That was what I had thought.
Still, there was no change to a fundamental part inside me.
âIt isnât easy to change my very nature. ButâŚI might be able to lower the standards a little bit.â
At the very least, believing in those who followed me would be a good development.
I couldnât become a warm wind. However, there was the possibility of being a cool breeze.
My mindset changed a little bit. There was a slight warmth in my eyes when looking at the spirits.
-The nature of your magic power has changed slightly. It is now pursuing a little more âharmony.â
Intelligence and magic power has increased by 2.
The limit of your potential has increased by 5.
It was a type of enlightenment. It was only a little bit but I had once again crossed the wall.
The conversion of a simple idea. I just thought a little bit differently and this kind of change occurred.
âI am moving in the right direction. There canât only be destruction on my path.â
Harmony. I started laughing.

It was like a dog laughing. I, who was more self-righteous and believed myself above others was seeking âharmony.â
ButâŚnow my cold gaze would only be directed towards my enemies. I would lower my standards for those who blindly followed me.
