The day of the Spirit Summoning Ceremony has finally arrived.

In order to watch with His Highness, I am also sitting in the VIP seat with His Highness. It seems that other members of the magic division and the church are also guided to this seat.
The only ones in school uniforms are me and His Highness, and Cyril who is sitting next to His Highness on the opposite side of me, and the rest are mostly wearing priest clothes or black robes.

When you sit down, you can see Theodore making final preparations in the center.
She wore her usual black robe with long silver hair tied with a black cord, and even though she was wearing the same outfit as the magicians around her, she caught everyone's attention.

Such Theodor-sama draws a huge magic formation on the ground with a staff. That serious expression is completely different from the usual Theodor-sama, and it seems that all the students in the bleachers are glued to that figure.

"Is it like a different person?"

His Highness sitting next to me puts his face to my ear and looks at Theodore-sama and says funny.

"Yeah, I really feel that you're an amazing person."
"Yeah, you're awesome.
Even that spirit summoning magic circle is usually made by several people.”
"Is that so?"
“Ah.

His Highness mutters while shrugging his shoulders, but I feel that his expression contains some admiration. His Highness probably respects Theodore-sama from the bottom of his heart, even though he jokes about it.

“It was the first time for Rachel to participate in the Spirit Summoning Ceremony.”
"...yes"
"I see. Then there will be many surprises."

His Highness's words made my heart skip a beat.

I can't say that I've participated in it, or watched it last year when I was a freshman.

"That said, I didn't even participate in it. Did Cyril do it last year?"
“Yes. I don’t have anything to do here.

His Highness put his hand on his chin and told him to think for a moment, then he spoke to Cyril sitting next to him.

Come to think of it, Cyril and Ernesto had participated in the previous first year, but His Highness had not.
After all, the royal family seems to secretly perform spirit summoning when they are ten years old. I've heard that the royal family, who are descended from saints, often make contracts with the spirit of light, probably because of their large amount of magical power and the influence of their lineage.
And it is very rare for anyone other than the royal family to make a contract with the Spirit of Light.

But what about Theodore-sama, who said he had the power of throwbacks?
I wonder if the contract spirit is also a spirit of light.

"What happened to Theodore?"
"Eh, did you speak out?"
"No, I was thinking about something when I was watching... I thought something was wrong with Theodore, but was I wrong?"

He must have been staring at Theodore-sama while deep in thought. His Highness asks with a strange voice.

"No, I've been thinking a little bit about Theodore-sama's contracted spirit that His Highness calls non-standard."
"Ah, you should ask him next time.
I'm sure it will surprise you."
"...Surprised?"

His Highness narrowed his eyes at me, who was probably looking dumbfounded, and laughed happily, saying, "Ah, it's not normal in any way."

I wonder what it's like to be unusual.
I'm getting more and more confused about Theodore-sama.
