78. Ice Woman (4)
78. Ice woman (4)
11 P.M. No matter how long I wait, So-ra, the snow woman, doesn’t come back. I set out on a search operation. In preparation for an unexpected attack by Irina, I am walking around District 3 with a lot of potions to protect my body.
I went around the 3rd district and joined Nishia in front of the store.
“Nishia, what about the store?”
“You still haven’t come back.”
“I see, I understand. I must go to Sora’s house.”
It’s already been three days since Sora came to my greenhouse. If she would have gone back to her house, she would have gone back a long time ago. If she, a youkai, got caught up in some kind of accident after coming out of her mansion, it’s time for her to get caught up in it a long time ago.
It has been so quiet up until now. It was so quiet that I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. Her head was spinning, but seeing Nishia looking at me and worrying, she finally made up her mind.
It was because I couldn’t show my weakness in front of my juniors. I told her that she would be fine, and she put her Nishia on standby in front of the Shaiza Education Building and entered her mansion through her library.
After passing through the trail and opening the door of the mansion, I saw a huge teddy bear wearing a red headband, with its waist low, in a martial arts posture.
Looks like the butler undead wearing the doll clothes of Jangpung Bear. Following the guidance of the butler, he entered the Forbidden Library on the 5th floor and told the nine-tailed fox about the current situation.
“Three days ago. So, the day Sora followed the boy, there was a reaction from the ring.”
“A ring?”
“Yes, it is one of the artifacts Arisha gave us. It was an item we needed when reincarnating. Sora has been using the item as a means of contact, but even after the ring is activated, he hasn’t been contacted.”
“Is it ancient magic?”
A nine-tailed fox in the form of Arisha nodded his head. The word that it was an item imbued with ancient magic caught my attention.
“I see. I used the ring outside, and it released ancient magic power. If you need it when reincarnating, is it a bound item?”
“Yes… “
From noble mtl dot com
“Well, I see. Now that I’m going back, educate my colleagues who have ancient items never to use items with ancient magic outside.”
At my words, the nine-tailed fox nodded. It doesn’t matter for Shayza type ancient magic that is mixed with normal magic and low-level ancient items left by Denas’ sister, but it’s a problem when using items with high-level ancient magic left by Arisha outside.
There are many treasure hunters who specialize only in searching for artifacts imbued with ancient magic. There are also people who, like Rin and Ren, can sense ancient magical powers, and it is because Heylia and her demon-like beings who abuse her ancient magic are infested.
3 Days ago, the culprit, who sensed her ancient magical energy released by Sora, found Sora through her 3-day pursuit, and kidnapped Sora in order to disown her and her items. Would be reasonable
If it’s a high-quality item that Arisha left behind, it’s worthless to say the value of that item. If it is correct that Sora was kidnapped as I thought, it is an obvious kidnapping case, but we cannot ask for help from the academy.
That’s right, Sora is a monster. It is said that there is nothing good about her identity being known to the academy. This is not to say that there is no answer at all. If you think of it as the process of canceling the belonging of the ring, it must be a situation where ancient magic is released naturally. After doing business, he joined Nisia.
“Nishia, go to the Melgard dormitory.”
“Melgard?”
“Yes, I need to meet Ren, who can trace ancient magical powers.”
To be honest, she didn’t really want to go to Melgard’s dormitory, but she was far closer than Arisha’s dormitory where Rin was. If the ring is an item that was used for reincarnation, as Gumiho explained, Sora could die the moment she is de-binned.
In other words, it is a situation where one minute and one second is regrettable. She was on her way to the Melgard Dormitory, half-running at that thought.
“It seems that the seniors came to visit after hearing the news.”
“Rayplane.”
Rayplane Aginis, the
Wandering Swordsman, jumped from the tree. I am interested in the word he said.
Anyway, if the wandering swordsman talked to me first, it means that something happened. In the midst of this, when it comes to an accident, isn’t it highly likely that it is an accident involving ancient magic?
“This is news, tell me in detail.”
“Senior. Hello.”
The heroine, Lynn Epeny, walks out from behind a tree. She turns her head left and right and looks around her. Ray Plain, who was looking at Rin, let her sigh.
“Actually, I have just been dragged in by Rin. She tried to sleep, because she ran through the woods screaming.”
“Rayplane, I’m sorry. I have no one to ask for help but you… “
“If it’s Arisha, there are slopes and Remi. I heard you’re pretty close with Srof. Why is it me?”
“That’s true, but… The slope is a little scary… Besides, Slop was taken to the infirmary!”
She gave Rin a puzzled look at the word infirmary.
“That… Actually. During the field practice session, the slop misused his magic and cracked the ground… A time capsule came out of it, and there was cheese in it.”
“So, did you eat it?”
“Yes… They say that a man dies once or twice, and he eats it and stays… “
The side quest 「King of Destruction and Cheese」 Is clear. Originally, it was a story in which Rin stepped in, stopped him from eating cheese, and based on the contents of the letter inside the time capsule, tracked down a professor currently working at the academy and handed over the time capsule.
It was a side story that ended with a heartwarming ending in which the professor, who received a time capsule left by a student who graduated decades ago, was taken to the infirmary after eating cheese while shedding tears. There was a provocative message written inside the letter, so the professor on the slope or story had no choice but to eat the cheese.
She should have stopped Slop from eating the cheese, but the fact that she didn’t is that there was a good reason. Considering that she is Rin and that she can track ancient magical powers, maybe it was because she had something to do with Sora.
Because he was distracted by the ancient magic he sensed, he probably didn’t care if Slop ate the cheese or not.
It’s obvious why Rin brought Layplane Aginis while wandering in the woods in this situation. Doesn’t that mean that there is an obstacle that she has to pass through helplessly? If it was a job that required wisdom rather than brute force, she would have gone to Nishia.
“So Rin. Why did she bring Ray Plain?”
“That… I feel an evil aura. At first, she intended to meet and see Princess Lerisha. That… The princess was tracking her ancient magical power in order to pursue her masked woman.”
“So?”
“But, the Melgard Dormitory… You will know when you go.”
Ray Plain scratches her head as if it’s annoying, but he follows Rin without saying anything. I nodded to Nishia, who sent her worried eyes, and followed Rin.
That’s how we arrived at the Melgard class dormitory. Seeing the dormitory, she naturally gasped.
No matter how spectacular her figure was, the taciturn Ray Plane also expressed embarrassment. As I stare blankly at the dormitory, Nishia shakes my collar.
“Seo, senior, this is… “
“Ancient magic. That, too, seems like a sign of using a mighty artifact.”
The huge Melguard class dormitory is sealed in red ice. The ice sticks out sharply, making it dangerous to be stabbed. I immediately turned her head towards Rin.
“Why didn’t you inform the academy of the situation in this situation?”
“That, that… that’s true… “
“No. Rin, that ice core. So, is the ancient magic power that created that ice flowing from within?”
“Yes. I’m sure.”
I nodded. The reason Rin didn’t inform the academy of the current situation in the middle and late part of the first part story would be pretty simple.
In the main story, Lerisha and Rin or Ren in the present time have decided to work together to chase down the masked woman. Now that the first semester is almost over, you must have had one suspicion.
That’s right, on the academy side, isn’t there someone involved with the masked woman? Maybe that’s why Rin didn’t tell the academy about her situation. In addition, Rin’s personality must have had an impact as well.
Even in the original work, if you play as Rin, she tends to act cautiously to the point of frustration, but this part gradually changes into a personality that doesn’t look at her front and back as time goes by.
Even after this incident happened, you might think that she wasn’t too careful not to inform the academy of the situation, but maybe her timidity was maximized after being broken by Heylia in the joint combat test.
On the other hand, if it’s Ren, she has a cool personality that doesn’t look back from the beginning, but as the latter half goes on, she gets entangled in many things, so you can see that she becomes more and more timid.
My goal is to get into Melgard Dormitory, find out who the culprit is, and take Sora out without anyone noticing, taking her ring. Rather, it could be said that it was fortunate that it was the Melgard dormitory that was attacked.
If Arisha or Shaiza’s dormitory had been attacked, Larisha would have appeared without fail in behalf of Ren. If that happened, she might have quietly packed her ring and made it hard for her to bring her conch.
I’m a little worried because I don’t know what’s going to happen because this incident was never in the original story. Will I be able to overcome this difficulty with all my might? With that thought in mind, he and his party approached the dormitory.
“Wahhahahaha! Cold! It’s really cold! Fuhahahahaha!”
“Hey!”
Hearing the sudden laughter, Rin jumped behind her and hid behind her on Ray Plain’s back. Nishia, who saw that, clapped her hands! Then I suddenly came behind her behind my back and hid her body.
The man who spoke out had tanned skin, yellow hair, and a large scar on his cheek. Surprisingly, his body was bound by red ice, but his head remained unfrozen.
He smiles at us. Then, inside his mouth, I see gold teeth glistening. I know who this is The same Melguard, Rayplane, also bowed his head as if he knew who this man was.
Melgard Class 3rd year chief. Valandis von Cassand He thinks of something with a bright smile and whispers quietly.
“Why is everyone looking at me with strange eyes?”
“”…… “”
Nishia and Rin are speechless with their mouths open as if they are dumbfounded, and Layplane turns away without saying anything, as if he knew Valandis’ personality from the beginning.
I wanted to answer that someone wouldn’t look at me strangely when I was stuck in the ice and smiling with only my face exposed, but I didn’t have the time right now.
“Rayplane, can you cut that ice?”
“Yes, it is possible, but it is ancient magic. Would it be okay? Are there any strange effects?”
“Um.”
It is exactly as Rayplane said. I put my hand on my chin and thought about what to do. Valandis is quite strong. It would surely be of great help if he stood by our side. It was when he was thinking about that.
“hahahaha! Swordsman! I take responsibility. Do it.”
“Are you okay?”
“Ahahahahaha. Right. Then just take out my arm part. I will do it without you being responsible.”
Rayplane looking at me. I nodded. Layplane then draws his sword and slices through the ice surrounding Valandis’ arm. It is for Valandis, who has regained the freedom of his right hand, to open and close his hand.
“Thank you. Then… Uratcha ah! “
Valandis holds sharp ice. That’s how you hold on to the ice and break your neck.
Kwajijik!ㅡ Kwadang!ㅡ
In this way, the ice surrounding Valandis collapsed all at once. After being released from the ice, he makes a gesture that breaks his body. It seems that after grabbing the ice, he turned around and destroyed the ice.
This is truly unbelievable strength.
“Puhahahahaha! Thanks! To you, Rayplane, I thank you with a sandwich I made myself!”
“… It’s okay.”
“Ego. I should have regained freedom in my body.”
Valandis who bends his neck left and right. He looks at me and smiles. Then, in the moonlight, the golden molars glistened.
“Looks like you are the leader of the party, right?”
“Yes, first of all.”
“I see. I’m joining too. Let’s overcome this difficulty together with passion! Fuhahahahaha!”
While saying that, Valandis put his hand on his waist and laughed heartily. Nishia and Rin look tired of seeing Valandis like that.
On the contrary, the faces of me and Layplane, who knew the power of Valandis, turned bright.
