But, easier said than done.
‘The presence is no joke, this… spirit.’
Judging by the butterflies calling her a spirit, this night sky lady’s identity was that of a spirit. The problem was, what kind of spirit and what her purpose was…
‘Why did she drag me into this labyrinth? How did Tiberi get swept into this labyrinth…?’
{World tree’s agent. It was not I who brought you into this labyrinth, but my subordinates.}
“……!”
As if she had read my thoughts, the spirit spoke. Startled, she gave a small laugh and continued her speech.
{I did not invade your mind, so be at ease. Otherwise, the spirits of the world tree won’t stay still…}
Well, that’s reassuring, then.
{I just knew what you were thinking by looking at your face. Curious about how that little wolf got caught in the labyrinth?}
…You’re quite nosy. I’ve run out of things to say.
{That little wolf escaped from the heretics who dared to imprison me, and was swept into the labyrinth. My subordinates did not deliberately lure it in.}
“……I see.”
So that means I was deliberately lured in.
{Spirits have always been dissatisfied with the world tree’s spirits contracting with humans… So this time… My subordinates seem to have played a trick.}
What a grandscale prank. Thanks to them, I almost faced existential crisis!
{Apologize to Gloria!}
{That’s right, apologize properly!}
{Control your subordinates properly! Spirit of the Night!}
The butterflies protested towards the spirit by flapping their wings. I mulled over the words ‘Spirit of the Night,’ Nyx, feeling that it triggered some memory… ‘Night’s Spirit,’ the name Nyx, something seemed familiar…
‘…Ah!’
Gloria’s buried memory suddenly surfaced. Among the many great spirits in existence, the most dangerous and powerful one… about the Night’s Great Spirit Nyx.
[The great spirit that governs the night, Nyx, is the master of starlight and darkness. She is also the queen of the underworld.] [Nyx’s labyrinth is White Night. A night without darkness. The reason the sky of the labyrinth is bright is…]‘What was next…?’
I was deep in thought when suddenly, darkness began to spread from the great spirit ‘Nyx.’
Stretching out like branches of a tree, the darkness began to turn everything into night. I stared blankly as the thick shadows began to engulf the forest labyrinth.
A moment later, the forest turned into a complete night. Above the indigocolored night sky, jewels like stardust sparkled.
Then it struck me.
‘…It was never daytime.’
When I first came to this labyrinth, I thought it strange that the daytime sky was filled with stars.
But now I understood. It was not a sky filled with stars during the day.
This space had always been night from the beginning.
Just the darkness of the night…
All of it was being swallowed by this great spirit.
{I am the ruler of the night’s time. The master of starlight and darkness, Nyx.}
Nyx’s voice resonated like the timbre of an instrument.
{I have no intention to harm you. Just…}
Nyx, who subtly smiled, reached out her hand towards April. I was surprised and quickly pulled April into my arms, stepping back hesitantly. Grayan also stood blocking our way with a blank expression on his face.
“What do you intend to do?”
There was a threat in his low voice. Nyx withdrew her hand and replied in a calm tone.
{I sensed fate in that child. You cannot know yet, but we spiritual beings, who exist without being constrained by time and space, can feel it. The existence of fate connecting the past and the future.}
I didn’t understand what she meant by sensing fate in April. I hugged April even more tightly. If Nyx tried to harm April, I wouldn’t hesitate to use the butterflies’ power.
{I want to make a contract with that child. No, I must. It is destiny for that child and me to contract.}
“……?”
I stared at Nyx, eyes wide with unexpected words. The silhouette of the woman filled with the night sky reached out to us once again.
“Argh…!”
Then Tiberi quickly rushed out and growled at Nyx. Looking at Tiberi, who was threatening her, Nyx seemed somewhat taken aback.
{Move aside, little one. I won’t do anything to harm you and your friends.}
Nyx spoke to Tiberi in a seemingly kind tone. It felt as if there was not an inch of falsehood in her words. Truly, Nyx seemed to harbor no malice.
{Hmm… It seems real.}
{The great spirit of the night really wants to contract with April.}
{Spirits don’t lie. If they can’t take responsibility for their words, they suffer a great blow.}
The butterflies fluttered their wings and chattered. I was surprised that they seemed to view April’s contracting with Nyx positively. Didn’t you dislike spirits?
{I don’t like spirits, but I can’t obstruct April’s opportunity to gain great power.}
{Living as one of the few remaining rabbit demihumans is tough in many ways. It’s not so bad to receive the sponsorship of the great spirit, especially since April is already getting attention here and there…}
{If it becomes known that April is the contractor of the great spirit, no one would dare touch her.}
{Yes, unless they’re mad.}
