 Commentary on Chapter 38. Leila Hartfilia.

 Enjoy your reading!!!

Eros was flying pretty fast and was getting closer to his final goal, what keeps him in Fiore.

***

Taking another look at the map, Eros stopped abruptly and began to examine the structure below him.

There were two large white three story buildings surrounded by interconnected gardens, the buildings were thirty metres apart. The entire estate was surrounded by a fence and forest.

As Eros was about to descend to the ground, he looked up in surprise at the road to the manor, along which a large red carriage decorated with many golden patterns and flowers was travelling.

And when it was a few hundred metres away from the manor, it stopped and in a minute a woman, or rather a girl, with long blonde hair, in a bun-like style with two strands hanging down the sides, got out of it. With pleasant facial features and pretty brown eyes, though what caught his attention most was her voluptuous figure. She wore a simple looking dress, the top of which was a light purple colour and the bottom a dark purple.

As soon as she left the carriage, she looked up into the sky, right where a shocked Eros was currently standing. After all, there was no way he could have expected to be spotted so easily.

- Mr Eros, I would like to talk to you, can you come down? - With a slight smile, the girl said. She had a very pleasant voice, but the titan didn't pay attention to it, he was even more surprised to hear that he was called by his name.

"How did she even notice me and how does she know who I am!"- The titan thought in shock as he looked at her, "She's just a strong A-rang mage and that's all, how could she detect me then, after all I completely concealed my presence, and my name... How?! Is there someone following me and even at my level of strength I couldn't detect it!"!"- But Eros quickly put the idea out of his mind, for it was simply impossible.

He looked at her again and as he descended to the ground, the titan retracted his wings and removed his invisibility.

- It's you after all," she said with relief.

"I've been played..."- the titan thought with annoyance, "So, how do you know me?

- I'm Leila Hartfilia," she said with a smile, "I learnt about you from my friend Yuki.

- But why were you looking for me, and how did you find me?

Leila lowered her head guiltily and took out a small gold locket, something like a compass, with the arrow pointing straight at Eros.

- That's interesting, it's pointing straight at me," he said in surprise as he looked at the object in her hand, which felt magical.

Leila shook her head at the titan's words.

- It points to the Key of the Maiden that you have with you.

- So this is what you need," Eros took out a golden key and raised it to eye level, watching the girl's eyes, which lit up when she saw it, "Do you want my key?

- Yes, you can give it to me or sell it to me, name any price.

"So the key..."- Eros could sense seven more similar sources of magical power in her small purse, just like from his Maiden's key," "She collects all the keys, why would she want it?"

- Or maybe you want land or a title or something else?

- It's not for sale.

Leila looked at Eros with disappointment. She didn't understand why he needed the Maiden Key, after all he couldn't even use it, it was useless to him.

- But I can borrow it, although I don't understand why you are collecting all twelve," the girl's face became frowning after hearing these words, "But in return, I will ask you to teach me this magic.

Leila looked thoughtfully at Eros and nodded, weighing the pros and cons.

- Okay, I agree, but I will be able to return the key only in two years," she looked at him after thinking about something, "Why didn't you ask to teach Yuki?

- She said that you are the strongest Spirit Spellcaster and it's better to learn from you," she said, "Flattery is a good thing," "And also, let's use 'you', it's not familiar.

- Okay.

***

Leila was a very kind and caring girl, it could be seen from the attitude of the servants who worked in the house, everyone looked at her with admiration. But as sad as it was, Leila was married. Though how that vague type had managed to attract the attention of such a bright girl would probably remain a mystery to Eros forever.

She also had a daughter, Lucy, who was an exact copy of her mother, but with a very explosive character, compared to her, who was a model of calmness and virtue. But still, she was still a child, so this behaviour was normal. Also, the girl was almost always at every class Leila taught.

Eros didn't spend much time with the Hartfilia family, even though they had a gigantic library, he couldn't find anything new he hadn't seen. What Leila taught him was good though, she knew a lot more than Yuki and was able to answer most questions about the contract as well as the Star Spirit King.

He had only had a week to learn Star Spirit magic, and Eros had also found the reason why he had not been able to learn it before. It was because of the weak attribute of 'Space' that the titan possessed, it was passed down to him thanks to the demon he had absorbed. But because this attribute he didn't have innately, Eros simply couldn't develop it. But Leila explained to him how to temporarily strengthen it, and also told him that after the first summoning of the spirit, he and the owner of the key will have a connection, through which he will be able to summon him much easier.

Today, Eros would try to make a contract with the star spirit, Leila stood not far away and watched it, while her daughter stood beside her, with stars in her eyes.

- Then I begin... - Eros stretched out his hand with the key and closed his eyes, he imagined how he was inserting the key into the keyhole. He was ashamed to say such a phrase in his mind, as Leila had said - "Open the gates of the court lady - Maiden!", he was ashamed to say such a phrase in his ear, and in general to say or shout the names of spells, because - it is simply not effective in battle, although of course there are magicians who need such a phrase to strengthen their spells or to concentrate more easily.

At that moment a golden magic circle lit up in front of the key, and with each second it became brighter and brighter, until a click sounded and it went out.

Opening his eyes, the titan froze. In front of him stood a pretty girl with short pink hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a black maid's costume with a short skirt and a pair of shackles with broken long chains.

- Are you a star spirit? - Eros asked thoughtfully, circling round the girl and groping her dress and skin.

- Yes, I am one of the twelve star spirits of the zodiac, Virgo," the girl bowed and said without paying any attention.

- I see, so will you make a contract with me?

- Yes, - the Maiden replied in a calm voice and at that moment the titan felt as if something was trying to invade his inner world, but not noticing any movement from the fog and the barrier, he missed it, - Tell me, how should I address you? Sir, Milord...?

- Or simply Eros?

- If that is your wish.

- Yes, call me Eros, - the titan nodded and began to feel her dress, hands, hair... again.

The maiden did not react, but still Eros could catch a touch of fear in her eyes, which surprised him a little.

- If that's the case, then from today you are my personal maid! - Eros summarised, looking into her eyes.

- Yes, Mr Eros.

- Just Eros.

- I can't call such a powerful being by his name," the Maiden shook her head negatively, "Let me call you Mister Eros.

- Um... Well okay, if that's what you want.

He turned to a surprised Leila, who pulled herself together, smiled softly and nodded.

- I could make a pact the first time, you have a talent for this magic, don't you want to make it your base magic?

- It's too weak," Eros replied with a slight smile.

- The strength of the spirit depends on the strength of the host, that is, the stronger the host the stronger the spirit....

- But even spirits have limitations," he interrupted Leila and looked at the Maiden, "Isn't that right?

- That's right Mr Eros, none of the star spirits can compare with you in power, only the Spirit King can compete with you at the moment, - after these words, Lucy's mother froze and stared at the magician with shock.

- Only if he comes to this world, - added the titan, - After all, in the world of star spirits, he has an infinite amount of Magic Energy.

- Then why did you study the magic of star spirits?

- I just wanted to know how it works, but I'm a little disappointed, and I'm glad to have a personal maid," Eros said with a slight smile, "You know how to cook, do laundry and clean, don't you?

- Yes, Mr Eros.

- She's perfect! Listen, I can't summon you without the key, can I?

- You can only summon me by calling me, but only if the summoning key is nearby.

- Too bad, that means I won't see you for at least two years... - Eros said in a depressed voice, - Okay, if I'm done here, it's time to move on, Maiden, I'll leave you here, you'll have to help Leila.

- Yes, Mr Eros.

- If that's the case, I'm leaving tomorrow and that's right! - he pulled out a small black case slightly larger than a key, -When you're done, put the key here.

- What's this? - Taking it in her hands, Leila examined it with surprise.

- I'm a master of runes, and I made this thing so you wouldn't have to come looking for me to get the key back. When you're done, put it in the case and it will find me wherever I am.

- I will

- Mum, when are you going to teach me how to summon star spirits?! - The girl exclaimed, looking at Leila and the maiden with shining eyes.She looked at her lovingly and stroked her head.

- Soon...
