ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SECTION 1.2: MOUNTAINS

For my own school there was nothing so special, I didn't have anyone I could call a friend because Brian was spreading rumors about me who was a liar, a weird kid, and many other calls.

That's why I've been avoided enough and no one wants to come near me. All they did was look at me from afar or talk about some disrespectful things about me.

Geez, even stranger are those who believe Brian's words without making sure that everything they hear is the truth or not. Of course it is influenced by Brian's Reputation as Chairman of Osis.

I think the influence of Osis is not that big but it seems that I was wrong, even that reaching the stage could drag the opinions of many people. That was quite a surprise.

And even more surprising is Brian spreading bad rumors about me without thinking if what he did has the possibility of affecting his family's good name because I also live with him, as usual, the pig was stupid.

Why does a pig seem to be the Chairman of Osis? Something must be wrong with his selection.

That's why today I also do school activities as usual. That is coming to class, listening to some teachers explain, taking notes, doing chores and coming back when the bell goes home.

Of course what I mean back is not going straight to the Sena Family home, because I will stop by some places first before that for fun.

I told you I was following an Exchul at school to Aunt An and Uncle Daniel so there's no need to worry about being scolded as long as I don't come home too late. The purpose of my trip is now confirmed, namely the foot of the mountain.

It was still two in the afternoon, there was plenty of time to walk to the mountain. I was planning to meet a friendly Spirit whom I had met before.

This is quite rare, because usually the Spirits hate humans but there are some who like humans as well.

Of course, the number that likes is much less. But I found some of that type on one of the mountains while exploring on my own before.

With high spirits at every step I took, walked closer to the mountain where all the Spirits were.

It is still daytime, I do not need to worry about the appearance of evil Spirits or dangerous powerful Spirits.

A stream of soothing wind was flowing all around, creating a friction between the slowly falling green leaves, the loud chirping of several birds joining together, creating a rhythm that calms the mind. The ground is soft but also sturdy, with a sign that takes you somewhere.

Ignoring the sound of a few small footsteps behind me, I continued walking on the sign as if ignoring nothing.

"Hey, there's a human child here!!" Chirping a loud voice like a broken trumpet.

"What does a human child do on a small mountain like this?" If this one has a calm voice, like an old man.

"Maybe he wants to subvert himself or his family to the Gods on this Mountain to grant a certain request?" Speak hoarse voice, have the same tone as a child.

"No ... I'm not too sure but it feels like that kid has a huge Spiritual Energy! Is it possible that he intends to eradicate all the Spirits in this small mountain?!" Shouted the owner of the sound of a broken trumpet.

"It can't be that it happened. If he had that much Spiritual Energy, then he should be able to see and hear our talk but he kept walking and put on such a foolish expression. Moreover, where possible the landlord will let a child like to do—Urghh!!"

Before the owner of the old man's voice finished his words, I turned my body and looked towards the three Spirits that were following behind, I turned my head and looked at the three spirits that were following behind me, then the three who responded late hit my feet simultaneously and fell backwards.

"Hey, who do you call having a stupid expression?"

The three fallen Spirits were pecking, they fixed their gazes on my face without saying anything. It seems like they are trying to understand what is going on right now.

The first spirit has a shape like a gray feather ball with two hands and feet that are directly connected to the fur, then one wide eyeball in the middle of the fur and a 10 cm long orange beak that comes out right at the bottom of the eye.

Looks like he's the owner of a voice similar to that broken trumpet. His gaze looked more alert than the other two Spirits.

If this one must have been the owner of an old man-like voice before, after all he hit my feet the first time and I've heard his little groan.

And finally, the third Spirit. It resembles a panda in reverse black and white. In addition to its color and size, the other forms actually resemble a panda.

Because I already knew the two owners of the voice before, so surely this Panda is the owner of the hoarse voice.

I nodded slowly while looking at the three Spirits sitting quietly in front of me.

All three are the same size as a tennis ball ... Or maybe a ping pong ball?

Whatever it is, they look pretty cute. If I could I'd like to take them.

Well, that can't happen anyway.

"To-to-why can a human child see us?" Said the ball of feathers, with its trembling voice.

"Hm? Wh why? Is there anything wrong if a human can see you? You said a few things about me having Spiritual Energy or something big enough, right? You also thought I could see you. Then why are you asking again?"

I bent my knees and crouched down, bringing my face closer towards the three Spirits who were still sitting on the ground. In unison, the three immediately retreated a few centimeters back.

They're really wary of me. Hm ... What should I say in a situation like this, huh? Forgetit. I better get to the point before it gets dark.

"Hey, do you know the spirit that has the form of a fox with nine tails and nine heads? I met him three days ago and we promised to meet back around here. If you know, I hope to tell you." Say it in the lightest tone possible.

"Hm? A fox with nine tails and nine heads? I never saw him. What about you two?" Ask the Combatant while looking at the two colleagues beside him.

Both of them shook their bodies to the side, they didn't know huh? How'this? Searching for it carelessly would also only be a waste of time.

"Do you know of any places where I might be able to find him? Or a place where I can ask the Spirit who might know? I'll give you these beans instead."

I reached into my pocket and pulled out some nuts, this leftover from the research in the school garden this morning. Fortunately I brought it.

"Nuts!! Give me!!"

"I want to!!"

"Hey, human boy!! Give me all your nuts!!"

They seem to like it, thank goodness then.

"Ya~ ya~ I brought a lot so take it all."

After making some small bribes, the three Spirits instantly told me the place where a Spirit who might know the existence of the Nine-headed Fox Spirit I was looking for.

The place is located at the North foot of the mountain, I am currently in the northwest so the distance from the place itself is quite close. In the end, I decided to go there.

Then this may be a little unrelated, but the feeling of something watching over me somehow feels stronger than before.

But when I tried to figure out the source, it was strange to find nothing.

Maybe just my feelings? I hope nothing happens.
