�Ahhhhh! This ball of fire! This darn ball of yarn! I�m so tired of it!�

In a corner of the inn� Cale who had a roasted barbeque chicken leg in one hand started to shake his head.
Cale�s group were the only customers in the inn.

� Human! That kid named Sully seems to be struggling!

�I know, right?�

Cale could hear Sully shouting as he waved both hands in the air.

�Why the heck are you doing this to me? This ball of fire! Ahhhhh!�

Cale heard the Wind Elemental�s voice at that moment.

��Chaos, destruction�the Fire Elemental is sad. He says that this is the human�s reaction even if he just comes close.�

�Hmm.�

Cale looked toward someone else over the shoulders of the potential Elementalist.
Cale made eye contact with Sully�s grandmother, the innkeeper.
The two of them openly stared at each other before Cale turned his gaze and waved toward Sully.

�Shall we chat for a bit?�

Sully looked toward Cale.

��Would you like another chicken leg?�

The hand Cale raised was holding the half-eaten chicken leg.

Cale looked at the chicken leg in his hand before smiling awkwardly and responding.

��Give me one more. And let�s chat.�

��A contract?�

The innkeeper�s grandson Sully sighed as he plopped down across from Cale.
Cale looked at Sully as he started to speak.

�You already know that it is an Elemental that is roaming around you.�

The last time he was at this inn, the innkeeper grandmother had said something while looking at the Fire Elemental roaming around Sully.

�My husband told me when I said I could see them. He said that they were Elementals.�
�I was relieved that my daughter could not see them. I worried that she would be like me and be able to see them.�
�Because I was seduced by them. I settled down in this Land of Despair so that I could get glimpses of them when they appeared. But this damn lake seduced people even if they could not see the Elementals.�

The grandmother had said that she had built her home in this village because she fell for the Elementals. JrNovels.com
