Chapter 134: Charge! To the Spirit's Presence (2)
A long, tense standoff continued as both Eight and the Spirit scrutinized one another. Time, the measure of which was unclear, passed agonizingly slowly—until the Spirit finally broke the silence.
─So, you’ve come with a request for me?
The Spirit regarded Eight as though he were a mere insect, completely insignificant. Seeing this, Eight hesitated momentarily before flashing a wide, amicable smile and humbling himself with exaggerated politeness.
“It is an honor to meet you, Spirit. I have heard much of your greatness.”
─You’ve heard of me?
“Yes! They say you are a miraculous being who turns impossibilities into possibilities. And just by looking at you, I can already tell those words are no exaggeration.”
─Hmph, you seem to know your place.
“Seeing you with my own eyes, I feel unworthy to make a request... truly, I’m at a loss.”
Hearing his words, the Spirit flicked its long tail and spoke.
─No need to fret. You have my permission. What is it that you wish for? Whatever it is, I shall grant it.
“How could I possibly...?”
─Don’t make me repeat myself.
