23. The Delusion
23. Delusional
ㅡ『Help me… 』
Shaiza said that in a creeping voice. I’m just baffled by the current situation. This event is a scene that does not appear even in the game. What the hell happened to make the real Sayaji appear in front of me? In the first place, she knows that it has been close to 300 years since her death, but what the hell is this situation?
“Mr. Shaiza… Please sit down first.”
I brought a chair by the workbench and sat Shaiza down. Even in the midst of this, Saija just continues to watch me with her eyes wide open.
“First of all… hello?”
ㅡ『Yes. Hi.”
“Sorry. I don’t understand the situation at all right now. I’m sure you’re having a hard time, but can you calm down and ask for an explanation?”
Shaiza nods her head. If you look closely, her body is slightly translucent. Just looking at it, it is judged that she appeared for a while through some kind of magical action.
ㅡ『Zakat is… My disciple who died before is about to be resurrected.”
“…… “
ㅡ『Academy… Will perish When Zakat is fully resurrected, no one can stop it… It’s embarrassing to say, but I once stopped experimenting while working on reviving Zakat. Doesn’t it make sense for the dead to come back?”
Shaiza gets up from her seat, holds my collar and looks up at me pitifully.
ㅡ『Memories of the Summoner. I sealed all traces of him in a jewel with that name. However… The information inside was read, and the impossible happened. It was designed so that if the information was leaked, the jewel would be destroyed.”
“If it is the memory of the caller… “
ㅡ『Woros Blood, my child. Please… 』
“… All right.”
I nodded her head and put Shaiza back in her chair. I felt like I knew roughly how things were going. Part 1, Act 7, Denas Yeseul, the first button, the case of switching magic items must have been the cause.
If it goes according to the original flow, after Rin or Ren reads the sign of the jewel swap with a unique skill. Although he defends himself, he unfortunately misses the culprit, the masked woman, and .
But now, since there are only two Rin and Len, the masked woman fails to steal Due to her number.
The culprit who raised the matter must be the devil who is tied to Vona Mana Heylia. With the mindset of destroying the item if she couldn’t get it, she must have looked into the jewel and got unexpected information, and even sent this message.
This part needs to be confirmed, but if it is the same as the original story, Denas Yeseul’s unconsciousness repeats dark delusions, and the negative magic obtained there and the effect of Can be used to destroy the undead. Would have caused
This part is a problem that can be solved by checking if the undead have risen. Was not robbed after all, and only the information that was latent inside was stolen, so you don’t know if you can raise the undead with only the stolen information. If it was to absorb the power of Denas and raise the undead like in the original work, it would be relatively easy to finish the job.
Summarizing, the same as last time. Since both Rin and Len exist, the story is off again. In a story designed for one main character, there are two characters in the main character’s position, so the story will have no choice but to go to the mountain.
“I’ve roughly finished grasping the situation. In short, all we need to do is stop Zakat from reviving.”
ㅡ『Yes… Sorry. I asked for this.”
“No. If the teacher hadn’t dropped me off the greenhouse, I would have been in big trouble. If the academy disappears, I will be in trouble too. Teacher.”
ㅡ『Yes… 』
“Before you go, can you answer me one thing?”
Shaiza tilts her head.
“Do you really think you can create an elixir?”
ㅡ『…… 』
Shaiza’s eyes widened at the word Elixir. Elixir is a must-have item to cure Nishia’s disease. So that would be a very important question for me. But…
Shaiza doesn’t answer and hangs her head.
“Is that so? All right.”
ㅡ『Hey… 』
“Teacher, I’ll be back then.”
I unpacked the bag I had packed to take to Nishia’s workshop, and packed some potions and put them in the bag wrapped around her waist. In that state, with her back to Shaiza, she opened her mouth.
“You don’t have to be too sorry. I have to go to the academy. He is the one who inherited Shaiza’s greenhouse.”
ㅡ『Woros… 』
“I will not let the academy perish. In addition, if the cause of the destruction is Shaiza’s disciple, there is nothing more to say.”
I think I should intervene directly in the story to solve the problem. From the moment he inherited Shaiza’s secret greenhouse, it is absolutely no one else’s business that Shaiza directly intertwines.
Taking over her conservatory means that Shaiza has directly acknowledged that she has become her successor. Shaiza’s job is my job.

Nishia von Orisha was ventilating the studio with the windows wide open. Now, it was time for Warros senior to come, so she was preparing.
“Ummm… Did I push myself too hard?”
I tried to catch a chicken for a late night snack today, but Woros doesn’t seem to like chicken very much. For that reason, the turkey was killed, cooked, and prepared with a magic treatment to keep it fresh. Nishia finished all her preparations by lighting a scented candle like that. For a moment she was satisfied with the well-prepared dinner.
ㅡ”This, what is this again!”
Strangely, the outside of the window is cluttered. But Nishia didn’t care. Just a few days ago, Shayza and her 4th year senior did her experiment wrong, and the squirrel became huge. One workshop collapsed in the aftermath, so it could be considered a similar incident. It should be, but what is it that screams in between?
Nishia looked out the window at the roaring sound of a magic battle. At that time, outside the window, Shaiza, a 4th year student, shouts at Nishia.
“There! Run away now! Run to the main building of Shaiza!”
“Senior? What happened?”
“I don’t know! The undead, the undead have appeared!!”
At the word Undead, Nishia quickly put on a Shiza-class cape and kicked her door. When I open the door, a skeleton that makes a squealing sound walks toward the studio. Nishia walked backwards, and she was cornered in the workshop.
“What, what is this.”
It was a human-shaped skeleton, but the bone structure was not human. It seems that discarded animal bones gathered together to form a human. I wanted to investigate that mysterious being, but it doesn’t seem like the situation. I have no choice but to judge like that, isn’t the skeleton holding the axe?
ㅡ『Kikigik. Kiki’
A skeleton that makes an eerie noise. Nishia took out an absorption stone from her bosom and threw it. As the stone of absorption that touched the skeleton’s body is destroyed, a strong light is generated. The light then turns into a few strands of string and wraps around the skeleton’s body.
Nishia checked the situation, and she ran over and kicked the skeleton’s wrist, causing her ax to drop.
ㅡ『Kikkigik… 』
“A little… Would it be all right if I observed a little?”
Nishia was looking around at the skull while talking to herself like that. It was when she thought the squeaking skeleton was cute inside.
Clang!
“Uh… ?”
From noble mtl dot com
A plate containing a carefully prepared turkey dish suddenly falls to the floor and breaks. With scattered pieces of plate. Looking at the turkey meat that fell on the floor, Nishia’s face turned pale.
“Ah… Oh, no.”
Mental shock makes a person dull, both physically and mentally. It was also the reason why Nishia couldn’t find a being floating above her own head.
“Billion!”
Something touched Nishia’s body. At the same time, Nishia collapses as her body loses strength. She managed to lift her head and examine her ceiling. There were translucent undead floating around.
“hahahaha… “
It was a big deal. You have to run away. Nishia thought so, but her body lost strength, and she had no choice but to stare at that existence while lying face down on the floor. To make matters worse, the magic that bound the skeleton is lifted.
ㅡ『Kikik』
“Do, run away… ugh… “
My body lost strength, and it was wrong to run away. Concentration was disturbed, and it was not easy to activate magic. In a moment of crisis, only one person’s face comes to mind.
“Woros… senior.”
Clang!
It was when the name of Woros was called. Something flew in from outside the window, and the ghost’s body caught fire. At the same time, a bottle of medicine rolls over and lands in Nicia’s hand. Knowing what this potion was, Nishia opened the lid of her potion without hesitation and drank it down.
“Puha… Stand up, senior!”
I tried to get up, but I couldn’t get enough strength due to mild anemia. At this timing, the skeleton, holding an ax, stepped out of the door. Nishia could only stare out the door at her, clutching at her thumping chest.
At that time, I saw something that seemed to be the skull’s head flying away. And then
“Nishia. It was a lot of trouble.”
He is entering the workshop.
“Whoa, Woros senior… “
*
When he received a request from Shaiza and left the greenhouse, he witnessed the undead. Watching the students of Arisha Academy battle the undead with their own skills, one crucial issue came to mind.
The fact that the undead appeared means that the plot of Part 1, Act 7 flows the same way, and the place where the undead appear the most in that story. The fact that District 3 is a forest of exploration. Of course, there are many workshops of scientists in the forest of exploration. In other words, it means that it is a place where the bones of animals sacrificed for experiments are stretched out.
Is that all? Among Shaiza’s students, there are students who study necromancy. Black magic is forbidden, so it ends in academic research, but now that the undead incident has really occurred, powerful undead are sometimes summoned in response to the necromancy items they have collected.
With that thought in mind, I headed for District 3 without stopping. There will be Nishia waiting for me there. She had to go fast and join her. This is why I immediately ran to the forest of exploration.
“Nishia. Are you okay?”
“Yes… A little bit of stamina was absorbed. Drinking the potion made me feel better.”
“Thank God.”
I handed Nishia two bottles of potion to use for her emergency and opened her mouth.
“I intend to actively step forward and resolve this situation. I think we need a small party for that.”
“I see. Then I will go too.”
“You’re not overdoing it because of me, are you?”
“Absolutely?”
Looking at Nishia who answered vigorously, she nodded. Most of the named characters in this case are directly or indirectly involved in the case. Among them, except for Rin and Len’s party, which will be the center, you will have to gather talented people and make a small party.
However, since this incident, which should have happened in the time zone of Act 7 of Part 1 originally, happened ahead of time, there must be many differences from what I know.
“…… “
“Senior?”
“No. Let’s go to District 1 of Nishia. I think we should recruit Srop.”
Nishia von Orisha and Arisha’s 1st year chief slope Arogas, who act with me now, were excluded from this event.
I don’t know why Srop didn’t participate, but first of all he didn’t appear in this episode. In the case of Nishia, she was put on probation after the Laughter Syndrome incident in Act 6 of Part 1, and she couldn’t appear because she was stuck in the dorm.
I don’t know how things are going, so I have no choice but to act based on the knowledge I know. Based on the original work, you have to look for people who do not step into this case or who act alone.
But there is no time to visit Melgard or Shaiza’s dormitory. Now, unlike the original, time is being chased. That’s because I had to finish everything before Zakat was resurrected. For that reason, you should build a party with members that can be recruited in District 1, which has a portal connected to the final battle map.
Arisha’s 1st year senior and second class. Srop Arogath. Remy Micaret. Recruiting these two should be prioritized.
Rin and Len’s party will also smell the incident and come to District 1. Considering their situation, the possibility of becoming enemies with me cannot be ignored.
In the storyline of Rin, an Arisha class, she is cursed and unable to convey the situation to her surroundings. She stuns all who approach and stops the spread of the curse while chasing after the masked woman.
From Ren’s point of view, he thinks that the source of the undead is Denas, and pursues Denas with all his might. Considering that my purpose is to protect Denas, Ren can also point a knife at me.
The easiest thing would be to have Ren secure Denas and talk to him to solve it. In fact, in the Melgard story, Ren even succeeds in securing Denas. But what about now? Aren’t there two main characters? For that reason, Rin would stick next to Denas.
So it’s not strange no matter what happens. This is because in Arisha’s story, Denas is never taken away.
One side is unconditionally secured, and the other side is never lost. As a result, it is impossible to predict how things will turn out.
So gather strong party members and make a party. As her first target, Denas secures her Yeseul and dispels her magic from her. Cut off the demon’s power. With that, the spread of the undead will be prevented. With any luck, the case itself might be closed.
With that in mind, I quickly headed for District 1.
