    <span style="font-weight:400">Late at night, everyone was asleep. With the construction of the farm and the training field, it was time for the perg. There were still a lot of things they still needed to incorporate into the ind. But this was a great start!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith." Keith was slowly woken up by a soft voice. Raising his head, he noticed Fira sleeping. He patted the spirit''s head as he got out of bed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Diana, what''s the matter?" The great spirit of nature was by the window. This was quite a surprise for him since she would always telepathically talk with him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about waking you up so early."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine." Actually, it''s not even morning. It was quite literally midnight.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you want to talk about?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Pleasee with me to the second ind."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." The two headed to the second ind. And Nephele and Udine were here as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, everyone?" To see the three great spirits together was quite the sight.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s time for us to end this," Dianamented.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" End what?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The contract we have with one another."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yeah. Ipletely forgot about this." The life and death contract they had with one another. Keith almost forgot about this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you all better now?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Diana nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then let''s end this," He only had this contract to help Diana recover.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Two red circles appeared below them. Each one with the same emblem as Diana stated, "I, Diana, hereby break the contract with my contractor."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I ept!" Keith nodded. That was when the two red circles started to spin around. Slowly, the red circles shattered!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" A wave of pain formed in Keith''s head. Nephele quickly came to his assistance. Udine did the same for Diana.


    <span style="font-weight:400">So this is what it feels like to break a contract. The pain from his head slowly spread across his body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"With that, we''re both free from one another," Diana sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Keith asked, "Are you going to go somewhere?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Since you broke the contract, you can go wherever you go," Keith grinned, "But can you return to the ind when you have time. I really need your help." To be honest, it was really greedy and selfish. But he really needed Diana. She was the perfect dorm mother, caring and talented. She was about to take care of the ind when he was not there.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Pff!" Keith looked up and noticed Nephele and Udineughing. Did I say something funny?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Big Sister Diana, you should exin everything to him." Nephele was about to burstughing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, I''m not leaving the ind." Diana scratched her head, "I canceled the contract because I want to form a contract with you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I want you to be my contractor." As she interacted with Keith, it was the most fun she had in some time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you fine with me?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course! I''m d it''s you!" Keith nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood. Then pleasee here." Diana and Keith were now positioned beside the seed. That was when Diana started to glow a beautiful light green. It was as if they were in a different space.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I, the great spirit of nature, have decided to make a contract. Do you ept it?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. I, Keith Freed, ept." When that was said, a dark glowing circle started to form around them. Slowly, Keith''s shoulder had a tattoo mark forming.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s urring." Udine and Nephele watched.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" As that urred, three people rushed onto the ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, guys." Nepehele waved.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s going on?! There''s an absurd amount of mana!" All three had felt an absurd amount of mana forming around the ind. So they quickly ran over here.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The two are forming a contract," Udinemented.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh." Those tense expressions they had just dropped once they realized what had transpired. Cadmus scoffed, "It''s about damn time!" That was something they all realized sooner orter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was just when Diana would pull the trigger.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Look what''s happening to the tree in the back." The seed was rumbling behind them as it shook back and forth. That was when it burst like a firework! It grew so giant as everything started to sprout behind them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What incredible vitality!" Aidiun gasped. Everything on the whole ind was growing rapidly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s not just that; they''re getting bigger than before." This was a surprise. The vegetables from the farm were getting bigger. They already thought Diana''s ability to increase vegetables was incredible. This was absurd.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because she found herself a perfect match," Udine muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...This ain''t a marriage interview."


    <span style="font-weight:400">This entire process took a few more minutes before it was done.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith''s shoulder had a rich dark green tattoo. Keithughed, "This is a cool tattoo." But then he noticed a tiny little petal dropping to the ground.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Keith looked up and noticed the beautiful tree, "Holy! Did you do that?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course not. This was us."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">''Us?" I did that as well?


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, it was from us forming a contract. When doing so, a great deal of mana implodes around the surroundings." That was why she waited. The amount of mana set off was so pure. And that purity supported the nts around them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great!" Keithughed, "But it''s so different from the one in the dungeon." Light and darkness. This was literally the opposite of one another. The one in the dungeon was dark and had a prominent scent of blood. Those blood petals didn''t help.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, the one here was pretty, as it had beautiful blue petals. It glowed in the night, which made it even more beautiful.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s have a party!" Cadmus raised his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?!" You know it''s the middle of the night, right? Diana shook her head, "If you want to get a fruit from this tree, then you won''t get anything for now."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They only sprouted a second ago. The fruit will probablye out tomorrow!" Diana touched the tree as she turned to Keith, "Keith,e and touch it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Keith ced his hand on the tree. That was when a warm feeling surged into his body. It was like his body was invigorated with something.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It wanted to thank you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank me?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, for saving it from being corrupted."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That was all you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How is your body, Keith?" Aidiun questioned. Being contracted with a great spirit would change the body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm," Keith waved his hand, "I feel stronger. I also feel refreshed. I''m two times stronger."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...What kind of strength bs did I see?" Cadmusughed. Instant strength on the fly. How could people get this strong?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The others didn''t say anything either.
