chapter 22
22. The girl and the demon (4)
22. The girl and the demon (4)
Rayplane swung his sword and cut off the string of unpleasant magical power that was connected to Denas. Then Nasu stopped moving even though he was about to extend his arm and attack.
“Ha-ha, ha-ha…” Mi, I’m sorry… “
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault, sir.”
Rayplane said that and sheathed the sword she was holding. Then he puts his hand on his chest and checks his body condition. Apparently, black smoke hit him, but strangely, there was nothing wrong with his body.
“Seo, senior, are you okay?”
“Yes… I’m fine, sorry Rin.”
“No. There he is, Rayplane… Thank you. I live thanks to you.”
“Never mind, I just acted as the wind blew.”
Denas is sitting on the floor and exhaling a rough breath, probably feeling unwell. Then, next to her, Rin collapses as well. It seems that the tension has been released and the strength has been lost.
“Seo, didn’t you suffer something earlier?”
“I don’t know… My heart is beating thump thump. What happened?”
“I have to go back. I need to tell my professor… “
It was when Rin said that. Suddenly, her black smoke starts to rise from Rin’s chest. At the same time.
“Wow!”
There was a cut on Rin’s arm and her blood splattered. Ray Plain reflexively drew her sword and cut through the black smoke, but her blade just went through and didn’t cut.
“… This?”
“Lin! What is this… Lin! Need to ask for help… Aww!”
This time, the same thing happened to Denas Yeseul. Lay Plain feels there are no answers and she decides she needs to ask for help. Then black smoke rose from her own chest.
“… Was it like that?”
It seems to be the effect of the last magic used by the masked woman. It seems that if we try to inform others of what happened to us, it is a magic that is automatically manifested to stop it.
It was the first time I had seen magic, but the masked woman used a mysterious magic system in the first place, so it wouldn’t be strange to have such a skill.
Fajik!ㅡ
The back of Rayplane’s hand is torn and blood splatters. She didn’t say that she was asking for help, so the damage was limited to the back of her hand, but Rin and Denas were severely wounded enough to die of excessive blood loss if left alone. In addition, if you see that smoke is still leaking out, the magic is still manifesting.
“… This is troublesome. Really troubled”
Rayplane is a swordsman. That’s why it’s very rat poison in this kind of curse system. Due to the nature of magic, you cannot ask for help from others, and you do not have the knowledge to dispel it yourself. Apparently, Rin and Denas were wrong.
Just as I was thinking that, a ball of light flew from outside the barrier. Upon closer inspection, it was a magic arrow. The arrow pierced the tree, creating a certain kind of wavelength to purify the black smoke.
“What is this… Are you okay!?”
Saying that, a woman squeezed through the barrier and ran towards her rifle. Ray Plain let out a sigh of relief at the sight of her. This woman is the second-in-command of Shiza’s class in the first year. She was El Denia.
Considering that this site is District 6, where the Church of Rosasia is located, it would not be a coincidence that Eldenia appeared.
“How do you do it? Wait. I will treat you now!”
Saying that, El Denia knelt down in front of Rin and Denas. Seeing her noble saint kneel before him, Rin opened her eyes wide and trembled as she groaned in pain.
As El Denia uses her healing magic, the wounds on Rin and Denas begin to heal one by one. It was then. The same black smoke as before appeared and she squeezed into Eldenia’s chest.
“What, what?”
“Stand up to the saintess… “
“What is this-“
“Holy Lady!”
When Eldenia was about to say something of her, Ray Plain cut her off. It was because she judged that in the current situation, if she even suffered El Denia, she would have no answers.
“The three of us are cursed. We were attacked by the assailants today.”
Rayplane, who had said that far, hesitated. The reason for this is that a large wound was made on her chest, and her blood began to splatter. However, Ray Plain continued her words without changing her expression.
“If you receive it and try to tell others what happened today, you will get scars on your body like this… It seems that this curse is passed on to others. I’m really going to die, so I’ll stop here.”
“That’s right. Wait for rayplane I will treat you now.”
“How to lift the curse?”
“…… “
The saintess shook her head. Then there is only one way. It was when Layplane thought that the only way to get rid of the curse was to remove the masked woman while avoiding meeting people as much as possible.
“Hey… Earlier, that woman did something to Denas-senpai. Little by little, a strange magical energy is leaking out of her senior’s body… “
“Rin, keep talking.”
Seeing the wounds on Ray Plain’s body, Lyn stopped talking, and Ray Plain asked for her to continue.
“I have a special power that I have had since I was little. I’m not sure what to define exactly. It can detect special mana. I can sense the same power as the mana used by the masked woman earlier. With that, we were able to specify even the location where the monster was summoned on the day of the joint battle.”
El Denia, who has completed the recovery of Ray Plain, nods her head while looking at her Rin.
“I don’t know exactly what happened… It seems that Denas-senpai’s body is connected to the masked woman from earlier. Her magic continues to leak there.”
“Then, the work has been decided. While avoiding people’s eyes, he searches for the masked woman. If you follow her leaking direction, she’ll have that girl.”
“Well, there is a problem… “
Lynn let out a sigh and gnashed her teeth.
“This power is not only possessed by me, but also by my younger brother, Ren… I think he noticed this when the barrier was torn… They might be gathering people by now….”
“No. This curse… I don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s a type of magic that gets stronger the more targets there are. When Rayplane’s body was wounded earlier, the evil mana in our bodies reacted at the same time. As the number of victims increases… The power is so strong that you could lose your life at once.”
At Eldenia’s words, Rin stood up.
“Let’s run away. She ran away until night when no one was around. I’m going to catch the masked woman. Because of the mana leak I mentioned earlier, if you don’t know the situation, you can’t help but think that Denas-senpai did everything. Ren will think so.”
“Then, there is no way. When Ren attacks, I have no choice but to stun him with a quick attack and retreat. That is the best way to minimize the damage.”
At Ray Plain’s words, Rin pondered for a moment before nodding her head. If the curse spreads, Ren, who has been attacked, could be in even more danger. The four of them decided to find a place to hide and spend time.

Melgard Class Dormitory Main Building
“Woe, Princess!”
“Oh, is this Ren? What are you doing?”
“I felt the unpleasant mana I was talking about earlier. It seems that the masked woman has appeared.”
“Yes?”
As Ren stared at Larisha, she spoke again.
“I don’t have time. It’s a similar kind of magic to what I felt at the ceremony, but the quality is different. Should I say it’s very ominous… We have to go right now.”
“… The title conferment ceremony incident was also believed by Ren because he sensed it. All right. Then I’ll send some students to the faculty building. While the professors are coming, let’s go to the site first.”
“That… I think we should throw a party. Something… I’m anxious. It’s similar to before, but the quality is different… Something is happening.”
Lerry Sha nodded at Ren’s words. Lerisha already trusts Ren. That’s it. Wasn’t she able to protect the precious treasure of the academy thanks to Ren? Listening to Ren, it seems that she is in a hurry. In order to take a mage like Slope Arogas, she has to go to Arisha’s dormitory, so it’s impossible due to time constraints.
A strong person who lends his strength. Today is the weekend, so many students are spending their personal time out of the dormitories. If you are a student who remains in the dormitory in this situation.
“Ren, please prepare immediately. I will take Miss Irina out.”
Ren nods at her and quickly runs off. Lerisha entered her room, grabbed her sword, wrapped it around her waist, and ran towards Irina’s room. She ran into Irina a little while ago, so it was clear that she would still be in the dormitory. If the masked woman appeared, Irina Blood would surely move.
That’s right, the woman in the mask stumbled on her name of Blood, and she provoked Irina, and Irina accepted the provocation because it happened at the scene of her conferment ceremony yesterday. .
“… What the hell is this feeling?”
In a sense of uneasiness, Lerry Sha put her hand on her chest.

District 6 of the Elana School District. Shaiza’s Secret Greenhouse
The sun went down and the moon rose. The moonlight passes through the ceiling of the greenhouse and turns into a green aurora, illuminating the greenhouse. I was in the process of sorting and packing the ingredients for the potion to take to Nisia’s workshop. I packed two bags of ingredients and wiped the sweat from my forehead.
“… Something is upsetting.”
Outside the greenhouse, church officials are seen carrying torches and running somewhere. It’s quite confusing what kind of accident happened. But I overlooked it. Didn’t the magic item swapping incident happen today in Part 1, Chapter 4?
In terms of the story, it’s not the time for big things to happen yet, so I decided that I didn’t have to worry about it. It must be an incident within the Church of Rosasia that has nothing to do with the original story.
“…… “
I spent the whole day wrapping my hair and worrying a lot. It’s because of Nishia’s illness. Now, since Rin and Len exist at the same time, the story is changing subtly. In this situation, in the episode where Nishia is saved, can Nishia be saved?
What if it fails? To think like that. My heart rushes If she fails, then what? At the point of Part 4 when the disease is getting worse, am I not the one who has already graduated?
Above all, as I said in the story of Nishia’s illness being cured, it is the result of a miracle.
That’s why I thought. In the end, in order to save Nishia, I had to do it.
“… Elixir”
A legendary potion mentioned in a few lines in . If only it could be manufactured, it would surely be able to cure Nishia’s disease. The problem is only mentioned, but the elixir is an item that does not exist in the original work. It is true that Shaiza studied the elixir.
Aren’t elixirs mentioned in items such as the research journal? However, the latter part of the Elixir-related journal was intentionally damaged by Shaiza and could not be read. First of all, the first step is to compare whether the game and reality are the same. To do so, you have to pass through the 2nd Greenhouse, enter the basement of the 2nd Greenhouse, and go around Shaiza’s treasure chests scattered underground.
I need money for that. 2 This is because you need to be level 4 in Magic Gardening to open the door to the basement of the greenhouse. From level 3, you have to hurry up and collect money because the recipe contains a lot of expensive and common ingredients. The problem is that even if I level up and enter the basement, the basement is full of cryptids who are hostile to me. When that point comes, I’ll tell Nishia all of her secrets about her greenhouse, and explore her cellar with her.
With that thought in mind, I took up the bag I had prepared. It was because he was thinking of going to Nicia’s studio soon. At that time, I lost the bag I was holding at the intelligent voice that I heard in my head.
ㅡ『Waros Blood. It’s my child.”
“…… “
I reflexively turned my body. Then, I saw a girl with light blue hair sitting on the roof of the facility where my bed was, wagging her legs.
It was the Great Sage, Shayza.
At the unbelievable sight, I tried to remember if this event had occurred in the game as well. But for the first time. There were no scenes of conversation with Shaiza except for the event of opening the greenhouse. While thinking so, Shaiza jumped off the roof and landed lightly.
It just went well. A good opportunity had come to ask Shaiza about the elixir. If I miss this opportunity, when will I be able to ask that question? So I have to say. I had to say
She couldn’t open her mouth easily because Shaiza was crying.
Shaiza staggers towards me, she squeezes the hem of my dress and bows her head. She said that he hesitated for a moment.
ㅡ『Help me… 』
As she said that, her body began to tremble.
