2-21 Louie's Point of View

 When I returned to the Crown Prince's office with Theodore, Cyril was waiting for me.
 The three of us had a discussion, and before I knew it, the outside of the window had changed from darkness to ultramarine blue, and a red sun was beginning to peek out.
 Take a break while drinking the tea that Cyril brewed for you.

 Theodore held the paper in front of him and groaned thoughtfully.

"Miss Rachel made a contract with the Dark Spirit King. And the power of darkness manipulates time in the same way that light does. Then, there are two worlds, either the Dark Spirit King or the Light Spirit King. It would be nothing but the intervention of
"Is that so?"
"I don't know if it started three years ago or the death of Miss Rachelle, but it's the result of a drastic manipulation of time."
"The world has split. Then... it might be the Black Spirit King."

 ――Is that so?
 Theodore's words were the same as what I had imagined.

 The Spirit King of Light, whom I saw at the Spirit Summoning Ceremony before, said he wouldn't interfere with people. He cannot be thought of as manipulating time himself. On the other hand, the impression of the Black Spirit King, according to Rachel, is that he is a bright and curious person.
 If so, I thought it might be the power of the Black Spirit King, whom Rachel received divine protection from.

“Also, about the problem that Louis was worried about.”
"Ah. If I'm here now, what's going on with me in this world?"
"That's it, but in my opinion, the Spirit King has the same soul as you and Louis over here, so I think they exchanged consciousness."
"... Does that mean that I am on Rachel's side in this world?"
"Oh, that's what it is"

 Over there, I fell out of a valley in the forest of Orta. The flow of time is the same in both worlds. In that case, he must still be seriously injured.
But more than that, I don't feel comfortable thinking that I in this world would meet Rachel and say something strange.
 Besides, there is a high possibility that the Black Spirit King is in contact with Rachel because such an abnormal situation is occurring. So was Theodore's opinion.
 
 Even so, I have to think about returning to my own world first, rather than the situation in the other world. If you lose your composure at any time, you run the risk of getting into an irreversible situation.

"How can I change my mind again?"
"In order for you to return to your original world, the Spirit King will have to do something again."
“The Spirit King huh?

 The presence of the Spirit King of Light was terrifying, even when I think back on it now. I am convinced that he is a being worshiped as a god. Is there a way to negotiate with someone like that?
 Naturally, wrinkles formed between the eyebrows, and the hand holding the cup tightened. Theodore, who glanced at me like that, let out a deep sigh while rubbing his eyes several times.

"Even if I meet the Black Spirit King, it's impossible for me to contact the Black Spirit."
"Yeah, this country doesn't even have a black spirit king, let alone a black spirit."
"You're right Cyril. Even if you go to the forest where the black spirits live in this world, you can't enter the spirit land, so there's nothing you can do about it. Louis, do you have any guesses?"

 It was. By making a contract with Kuro, Rachel acknowledged the existence of the Black Spirit in this country. Now in this country, no one knows or signs a contract with the Black Spirit. If so, where is the route that leads to the Black Spirit?

“Orta…the royal family of that country has dark powers. However, it takes too long to contact them. I don't know if there are
"Then..."
"Ah. I only have one hand. But this is a one-or-eight decision. I think it's quite likely that it will be difficult."
"Even so, it feels like you can't do it."
