We flew back to the city with Paithon in tow. Since there was no way I could just leave her there and her growing interest toward me, I decided to bring her back with us.

The moment we landed at the city entrance, Paithon tilted her head. “Huuuh? What a weird city...”

“Weird?” I asked.

“Mm-hmm. So many little creatures I’ve never seen before...”

What little creatures...? Puzzled, I followed Dyphon’s gaze as she swept her eyes over the rows of buildings to the passing monsters. I couldn’t quite figure out what she meant, however.

Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed a passing elf by the hair. “What’s this one called?”

“Eek!” The elf flinched and looked at me wide-eyed. “Lord Liam? Huh? Wh-Who’s this?”

“Sorry about this,” I told her, then turned to Paithon. “Uh, could you let go of her first?”

“What’s this one called?” she repeated.

“Huh? Oh, um... Kellen, was it?”

Kellen the elf gasped. “You remember, Lord Liam?!”

“Well, yeah. I came up with it.”

She beamed, overcome with emotion. “Thank you very much!”

Paithon kept a steady stare at the elf the entire time. “Kellen...” she mumbled. “I’ve never heard of a monster like that.”

I blinked. “What? Oh, no, you’ve got it wrong. She’s an elf, and her name is Kellen.”

“Huh? She’s a monster, but she has a name?”

“Yeah.”

“Hmmm? But why?”

“Why?” I parroted, cocking my head.

Dyphon, who’d been silent since we returned, suddenly hugged my arm and grinned with pride. “That’s just one of the things that makes darling so amazing!” she preened, piping in only to brag on my behalf.

“Wooow...” Paithon drawled. “You must be really amazing for Deedee to praise you like that.” She seemed genuinely impressed, as dull as she sounded.

Just then, a call came in through Telephone, a spell that allowed communication over a distance. “Hello?”

“Master, may I ask where you are right now?” Scarlet asked.

“I’m at the city’s western entrance.”

“So you’ve returned! I shall head over right away!”

“Did something come up?”

“Yes!”

I heard her voice go up a pitch at the same time as her hurried footsteps. Even though she was making her way toward us, she remained connected—a feat not possible in an ordinary tin can telephone. Incidentally, this spell was, in essence, its wireless version.

Long ago, humans discovered that it was easier to hear distant sounds by placing their ears against the ground and, later on, that sound carried through solid matter. These discoveries spurred the invention of a device made to convey voices across a distance.

To carry voices between two points, the device’s most primitive design made use of a string. As easy as it was to lay out, however, it could easily be cut and struggled to transmit sound when it wasn’t taut. Thus, the strings were replaced with much sturdier wires, leading to the creation of the tin can telephone.

The use of wire made it so the two connected points were fixed in place. My spell, on the other hand, had a very big merit in that it wasn’t stationary; we could communicate while on the move, just as Scarlet was doing now.
