chapter 28
28. Delusion (6)
28. Delusional (6)
An undead wearing rusty iron plate armor flaps its worn-out cloak and approaches me. Slowly. But sure. I felt the inevitable death clamp down on my throat. However, the effect of Does not allow me to bow my head towards approaching death.
Diring!ㅡ
[I feel fear to the extent that it interferes with my mission. It blocks emotions.]
“Whoa… surely… The part where I can’t guess what he’s thinking is similar to Shaiza. Even if I say this, I don’t remember much about Shaiza.”
“…… “
“Hey you guys, how long has it been since I died?”
Heylia flinched at Zakat’s cold voice. She seemed to have already succumbed to her fear.
“3… A little over 300 years… All, you die… A few years after he passed away, Shaiza built the academy… That… The academy is now in its 300th year.”
“Has it been that long? As he said, the promise… It must have been overlooked.”
“Yes, yes. Sha, Shaiza did not keep the promise she made with you to save, save your clan, school or—”
“I hate to hear it.”
Heylia bows her head at Zakat’s words. In the midst of this, I glanced at Denas Yeseul. Her body wriggling, fortunately, seems to still be breathing. It might not be too late if you approach him and feed him the potion.
“I respected Shaiza so much… Is my soul defiled Now I want to erase all traces of her Shaija.”
“…… “
“Heir to Shaiza. What do you think I should do?”
At Zakat’s unexpected words, I was speechless for a moment. Wasn’t that spear warrior a person called the “Spear of Shaiza”? Perhaps, as Shaiza’s successor, there was a possibility that he would listen to me.
There was a possibility of ending it without shedding blood. I held on to the slightest hope, but my hope was shattered by Zakat’s words.
“Perhaps because of Shaiza, I have been suffering without being able to ascend to heaven. Also, it looks like Shaiza didn’t even keep her promise to me. Someone Someone will have to take on my anger.”
“What?”
“Shaiza’s successor? You are lucky.”
Eyes begin to shine in Zakat’s empty eyes. Then, with a clap, clap, it slowly approaches me again. How will we do it? Will my potion work? No, there is no way
I am familiar with To some extent. I knew that his real name was Zakat after entering the case.
That person is the strongest person in the world who stood shoulder to shoulder with Melgard in the past. At the very least, it should be significantly stronger than the final boss of Arisha Life that Rin and Len are facing. No matter how much his heyday has passed, he has been resurrected as an undead instead of his original strong body. Its strength would be impossible to ignore.
Zakat is also not perfect, but it is also true that there is no way.
“Do you have anything to say? Shayza’s successor.”
“Memories of Shaizawa… Are these words useless?”
“Yes.”
It was Zakat who said that, but when he said the name Shaiza, he stopped moving for a moment. No matter how dirty your soul is. Shaiza’s share in his heart still seems significant.
Zakat wouldn’t stop even if Shaiza himself came on the mound, but it didn’t matter as long as he could take some time off. At least I just had to wait until the portal behind me, connected to the academy, was restored.
With that in mind, I took out a ring from my pocket and put it on.
「Words to the Heir」
●To you precious…
Infuse magic into the ring to activate an active skill. Then, light gathers in the air and a barefoot Shaiza appears in a dress. This was a gamble. Shayza’s stake in Zakat’s heart would win, or the defiled soul would win.
Fortunately, it seems to have been the former. The Zakat that was approaching me stopped moving.
“Shaiza… Ugh!”
Zakat suddenly drops to his knees and grabs his head. I didn’t expect such an effect, but I was able to buy time anyway. As he thought so, he could see flesh growing little by little on Zakat’s face, which was in the shape of a skull.
Is it because of his hatred for Shaiza? He is transforming into a more perfect figure. The die has already been rolled. Even if he gets stronger, it’s an unchanging truth that he can’t win.
“Denas!”
While Zakat was momentarily incapacitated, I ran towards Denas at full speed. At that moment, Heylia is seen throwing something at Zakat. That’s a sign
Not long after throwing the mark, an undead breaks through the wall and approaches. It is the boss ice ghost in Act 7 of Part 1 that appeared at Arisha Academy. Judging by the different hair color, it seems to be a different entity from the ice ghosts summoned to the academy.
ㅡ 『Huh… 』
The Ice Ghost stretches out his hand towards Zakat and infuses him with his magic power. Zakat, who was holding his head and complaining of pain, spreads out his hand, and the spear that cut off the power to the portal flies in and lands in his hand. And.
Kwang!ㅡ Kwa Kwang!ㅡ
Throws a spear at the ice ghost as if it’s annoying. Without even looking at the subject. In that one attack, the ice ghost died with a hole in its body, and the spear pierced the wall of the mage tower and went out, smoking a huge amount of dust.
“Ugh, Shaiza… Shayza!”
Zakat was lying on the floor complaining of pain. In the meantime, he gave Denas her healing potion and magic gardening potion and hugged her.
「Potion of Minor Weight Reduction」
●A magical potion that is said to lighten the body for a while. One bottle contains 6,000 calories, so don’t overdose!
I picked up Denas, whose body had become lighter, and ran aimlessly. Either escape from Arisha’s Magic Tower or wait until the portal is restored. The problem is that if you go out of the tower, there is a risk of freezing to death or being eaten by monsters, and waiting for the portal to be restored can lead to being stabbed to death by Zakat’s spear.
“Whoa, whoa… Woros Blood… What.”
Being embraced by me, Denas turns over her body. From her point of view, the assassin who stole her own pet took advantage of her weakness, made her drink an unknown potion, and took her to a dark place, so it is a situation worthy of caution. .
“Let me go… Let go!”
“Calm down!”
I went into a nearby room and dropped off Denas. She trembles and hugs her body.
“Senior, drink this first.”
“…… “
“It is a whitening potion. For the time being, all willpower will be gone. The dark part where you are being used right now will disappear for a while.”
“…… “
Denas is in a dangerous situation where he is insane. Her physical strength is depleted, but the biggest problem is the atrocities the demon did to Denas.
Her inside of Denas is probably the same situation as when she endured her delusions to overcome her own depression. The problem is that the condition has continued for several hours, and the big problem is that she is not aware of it.
The delusions you do to hide your depression may cover the depression at that moment, but in the long run, it is an action that maximizes the depression even more. How futile it would be to return to reality after thinking happy thoughts.
I am not aware of it, but Denas is in such a situation. I don’t know if it will end with mindlessness now, but if the situation ends, I will suffer from extreme depression. I can’t fix that part because I’m not a psychiatrist, but I can prevent the devil from digging deeper into Denas’ inner world.
“You must drink.”
“Poetry, I hate it… “
“Your power is being used right now. If senpai doesn’t drink, the undead will continue to appear in the academy, and many people will be involved.”
“… !”
Denas widens his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, she accepts the medicine bottle I gave her. She hesitates as if she doesn’t trust me in that state.
“Trust me, senior.”
“I want you… “
“I know. Is it because of what happened last year?”
I sighed and sat down in front of her. The reason she is so wary is because she suspects that I stole her pet. Considering the previous Denas owls flew to me as if they were happy, I believe it was a misunderstanding that didn’t work.
So, I will believe in myself and act.
“What happened last year is really a misunderstanding. I did not steal your pet.”
“But it is true that it was found in your room! I… How long have you been looking for it?”
“I have nothing else to say about that. I really didn’t steal… I have no choice but to tell you that.”
Denas gritted his teeth at my words. She hates to lie, but it seems like she needs to tell her lies to some degree in order to be trusted by her. I will take full responsibility for the lies I tell. It’s a lie that you promised to do so.
“I didn’t know who the owner of the owl was, so I just couldn’t give it back. Had she known that it was the senior’s owl, she would have returned it right away. How do you steal her friend’s sister’s pet?”
“If that’s the case, even if you ask for something like the student council… A friend’s sister?”
“Kaish Yeseul. I was pretty friendly. She was also in the same grade, and Kaishi was the only one who spoke to a student who was floating like me without hesitation.”
Denas opens her mouth wide in disbelief at my words. Casey Yeseul. If she was still alive, she would have been Arisha’s second year student, but she is Denas’ younger sister and her villain.
Unlike her gloomy older sister, she was always lively and had many friends. Like my lie, she might have really talked to Woros and showed her friendliness. As much as she is, she is a very sociable person.
Then, during her vacation, she returns to her hometown with Denas. However, when Denas cannot overcome her symptoms of depression and locks herself in her room, she half-forcedly takes her sister to her mountain to cheer her up.
The accident occurred while crossing the swinging bridge. This accident was truly an unfortunate accident. A swinging bridge that I had crossed since I was a child. It is cut off due to old age. The accident cost her sister her life.
Seriously, Denas did nothing wrong. Wasn’t it literally an unfortunate accident? But Denas said that if she hadn’t shut herself up in her room, she wouldn’t have found the mountain that day, and her sister hadn’t died. She starts beating herself up like that. Even though she was already suffering from depression, Nas herself sanded her heart.
It made her fall more and more into her delusion, and it also made her laugh no longer. I wonder if the reason why I am so obsessed with pets is also because of my depression.
“I really regret what happened to Kaishi.”
“… Are you really Kaishi’s friend?”
“Yes.”
“Kaishi is… Did you bother me a lot? Even if I were Kaishi, it would be a lot of trouble if someone like me was an older sister. Yeah i don’t have any friends I’m stuck in the dormitory all the time.”
“…… “
Denas clenches her fists.
“Kaishi didn’t listen to any of her requests because they were annoying… If I need you, I’ll find Kaishi… You were such a ridiculously annoying and useless older sister. She wanted to deny it somehow, so she looked for a gift Kaishi left behind… She can’t even find it. No, maybe she never existed in the first place.”
De Nas Yeseul said that and bowed her head.
Because of her personality, blaming herself may be an unavoidable part. Isn’t she also suffering from depression?
However, I, the late character of , Can’t just watch and misunderstand her sister at will. I’m the one who watched all the past flashbacks of Denas and Kaishi in the game.
Does Kaishi hate Denas? Absolutely not. Rather, she even picks her older sister as the person she admires the most, and in fact, the child who cherished her older sister very much is Kaishi. Then, Kaishi makes a gift for her sister with items she finds in her hometown.
However, in the first playthrough, the item would never be handed over to Denas. In the Melgard route, Denas’ past itself does not come out, and in the Arisha route, Rin and Len’s unique skill tries to find it, but in the end it fails.
The happy ending route where Denas gets her sister’s keepsake is a scene that can only be unlocked by entering the Shaiza class that opens from the second playthrough.
After this case is over, Denas will quit her academy and live as a disabled person, feeling depressed and guilty for causing this incident. Of course, the academy did not give Denas a heavy punishment. Because Denas is also a victim.
It’s her own decision to leave her academy, locked in her room for weeks. She has been gone for several months. After she mentions that she was found with a cold corpse shortly after, Denas exits the story.
The only way for Denas Yeseul to be happy. It’s only if you get her sister’s keepsake. Right now, the main character, Rinren, is not a Shiza class that unlocks the Denas Happy Ending route. For that reason, Denas can never be happy.
Even though there are two main characters in this world. Because there is no main character in the Shiza class, Denas Yeseul leaves lonely.
Even though there are two main characters, a character who could easily be saved unfortunately leaves because she can’t find a gift for her little sister.
I hate that. I can’t go out for everyone, but at least in the story I’m involved in, all the characters should end with a smile. Didn’t I play Over and over again for that?
For that. To find the golden route, without 1mL misfortune. How many times have you not repeated it? How many times have you stayed up all night? How many times have you not reset the game?
If you pretend you didn’t see Denas Yeseul here, did you need to play Over and over again?
Is there a need to be determined to find a golden route where even the slightest bit of misfortune doesn’t exist? When it was really important, did I, who denied the golden route, need to struggle to find that route?
Can I find the golden route and be proud of myself?
Not at all. If Rin-Len, the protagonist of this world, can’t save you, you can’t suck her finger and pretend you don’t know.
“No. Kaishi really respected Denas-senpai. She’s not kidding.”
If necessary for a happy ending.
“If this is over safely, I will prove it.”
I’m Shiza’s class. I will pretend to be the third protagonist of this world.
