'...mine?' she asked with her eyes filled with confusion and cluelessness.
'What?' I asked with the same clueless, calm smile, and I knew this look of mine would trigger something inside her.
Her eyes sharpened, and she looked at me with anger-filled eyes. And I just smiled calmly and looked back at that funny face.
'Don't joke around, Axion.' She was getting angry, her face blushing red as she also understood this was 'teasing'.
And on top of that, she just said my name, and not my nickname.
She was genuinely getting worked up from just this much, and I was strangely enjoying this.
The magic circle was glowing with white light and the golden light from Asta had vanished a while ago instead, only the 'core' was blinking like a heartbeat.
The four grandparents were almost done with the 'feeling' and savoring of that special ice cream, and now, she was getting more restless after not getting any answer from me for a while.
She was blinking her beautiful eyes faster, confused about why I wasn't giving her what I promised…
'Will you go back on your promise? You? Was this it to us, hmm?'
Damn, she was heating up now and I could feel her anger concentrated only on me.
Not that they wouldn't notice so, this one was futile.
But her words were getting even more extreme now.
This witch... she really was cute~.
Just a bit more, lol.
'What are you even saying, Rein?' I asked again with the same unknown, calm smile on my face and then... the glass broke.
'Ok then! Axion Heliox Kromet! I don't wanna do this summoning!'
She shouted with a frustrated expression, her eyes clenched, and her face red in anger.
And that red looked quite good on her beautiful, clean skin.
And although I wanted to enjoy it some more, she was being serious when she said my full name, as well as how she turned around in frustration was actually real...
Saying she didn't want to do this spirit summoning just because I didn't give her a spoonful of ice cream... she really was a handful.
But I had to stop this handful one, so I grabbed her hand, and just then, all four of them also opened their eyes one by one.
She was still frustrated, and I knew they understood everything just from a glance.
And a pleased smile appeared on their faces while watching my sudden 'green' expression and her 'red' anger.
"I said I don't want to!" She shouted for real this time and looked ahead to go out, only to find the old ones smiling at her.
And she... surprisingly didn't stop advancing and even dragged me along, even with my 'genuinely normal' grasping strength.
"damn girl... sorry, ok? I will give you a silver spoon, so quiet down!"
I increased my grip strength a bit, and she hopefully stopped moving. And now… however hard she tried, she wasn't going any further.
Her anger was sweet in my eyes, but the strength she was exerting right now was something else.
"Calm down, Rein. Please?" I pleaded to this genuinely hot-headed witch who finally, after a while of holding hands, calmed down.
Then she smiled, didn't even look at the smiles of these old ones, and turned towards me, stretching out her hand, asking for the thing.
And with an even bigger sigh of relief, I took out a silver spoon with the same ice cream as my grandparents and handed it to her, earning chuckles and held back peals of laughter.
Rein's smile, which had hardly returned to her face, twitched in shock and she looked back at me, eyes filled with anger…
"Why this?! You said silver soon!" She shouted, and I knew she was going to shout ... cute, right?
"I said silver spoon. That is a silver spoon. If you don't want that... then I guess we would have to do it without-"
And when I stretched my hand to take back the spoon while saying that, she shoved the small-sized spoon in her gorgeous mouth, the same size as the one I gave her at the communication center.
"I kwill swe ygou, kyu bastard!" The spoon was still in her mouth when she shouted that, not that I would hesitate to take it out myself.
But the way she said the 'bastard' word perfectly despite that spoon surprised me, so I just let her be.
'Man... she's more than just a handful one.' I can't help the chuckle at this reaction of hers and she wanted to say more but the ice cream touched her mouth, and she fell into that great state she experienced yesterday.
That pleased expression of hers was pretty, and I really wanted to see this expression for just a bit more but, there was one more reason I didn't give her that ice cream right away.
I looked at the four of them and nodded, and they understood I would be starting immediately.
This state was short-lived and even if the effect of the ice cream would last for a while, I needed to do things as soon as possible.
So, I quickly used {Quicksteps} and reappeared before Asta, and as she was just starting to savor the magnificent dessert, I took out the spirit stone and immediately 'recast' a special scripted Solnova spell as soon as they were away from us.
This was the moment I would summon a spirit for the first time to make a contract, and I wanted that spirit to be special among specials.
I already had seen many spirits that she called without any Stone one, and among them, there were special 'types' of rare spirits.
And I can force the magic circle to summon a specific 'type'... though it takes a great toll on my mind and body.
But, well... it was for her, so I believed it was worth it. And how could I do things half heatedly when she showed me such great faces, no?
Smiling calmly, I closed my eyes, and a white light covered the room.
And then... the white magic circle I traced a while back turned into something entirely new.
