Alchemist After Possessing chapter 9

9. Heir of Shayza

9. Shayza’s successor

Melgard Indoor Training Center. It is a very large building with several huge auditoriums connected to it. The place where the first graders gather is Auditorium No. 1, And after confirming that all students have gathered in the auditorium, a 30-minute break is given before the final announcement.

Thanks to that, Lelisha and I, who were looking down at the first graders from the second floor railing, also had some free time.

“This is the first time I have talked to you so calmly. I saw you unexpectedly today, but that doesn’t mean I completely trusted you.”

“It is an honor to hear that you liked it.”

“Waros Blood. What the hell are you doing?”

I couldn’t easily answer Princess Lerisha’s question. This is because the scope of the question was too broad.

“Apart from being a member of the famous Blood family. I read fragments of your talent. My eyes are unmistakable. Even so, I am having a difficult academy life by deliberately acting as a failing student. Why the hell would you do something like that?”

Lerisha asks that and sends a sad look. Lerisha’s expression is one that is hard to see even in the game. How on earth did Worros Blood make Larisha von Meloyer suffer? The biggest reason she struggles is probably because of her anxiety that Is wrong.

“In addition, don’t you steal your senior’s pet? They don’t raise monsters in secret, so they think they’ve calmed down a bit, so they threaten students. You are… you really… “

Lerisha sighs, pulls out a fluttering short blue cloak that proves that she is a student in the Mel Guard class, and grabs her railing.

“Looking at you today, you don’t seem like such a bad person again. Cadet… What on earth do you go to the academy like that for? It’s just fine. Let’s make it clear today.”

“… Princess. Sorry.”

“Yes?”

I’m sorry, but I don’t know exactly what kind of life Woros lived before being possessed. If you obtain the quest item , You will be able to know what kind of life Woros has led. The problem was that I couldn’t open the item in the game, and I had no intention of acquiring it even now.

Woros’ Diary is an important item that determines the fate of a character. Before entering the Blood family side in Part 3, a character’s life and death will change depending on whether or not he or she obtains Woros’s diary. Knowing that, I decided not to touch Woros’ diary for nothing.

From the point of view of users who played the original game, they know that a terrible future awaits them if they join the Blood family without obtaining the diary, so they instinctively want to avoid that ending.

If I go on the side of the Blood family, I might be involved in the incident as I am deeply related to the Blood family. This is a matter of difficulty. The problem that I would have thought so if it was a game becomes a problem that I cannot face with such a comfortable mind when it becomes a problem that I actually face.

For that reason, I will leave the diary untouched. That’s why I can’t face the princess in the position of Woros in the past. The part she is curious about me is not about me, but about the past Woros Blood. So I’m not going to confess the past, I’m going to tell you the future.

“No matter how much you say you’re the princess, there are some things that are hard to say. Especially if it’s a terribly dark part.”

“It’s dark… Is it because of the Blood family?”

“… This is my job. Even if my neck runs away, it’s a part I can’t get rid of.”

“…… “

I moved my gaze down the railing. Then she saw Irina, who was glaring at me like she was going to kill me.

“I spoke too presumptuously. Sorry. Princess.”

“… Have you made up your mind? How to say… The atmosphere is a little different from the old you.”

“Everyone grows and changes. I can tell you one thing, I was always desperate. Even before. Even now.”

I racked my brain over what to say. After being involved in the event, I was thinking of hiding moderately and only getting the reward. At first, I thought of hiding in an empty room, but it doesn’t seem easy as long as Irina is there. Aren’t they still looking up at me from the 1st floor and sending me a look that says they’re going to kill me?

To stay safe, I had to stick by Lerry Shah’s side, at least until the incident started, so I had to come up with something to talk to that would interest her.

From noble mtl dot com

“A while ago, when you gave advice to Rin. Something… He seemed like an ordinary student. I mean you. Perhaps… Maybe that’s what you see. Come to think of it, maybe I didn’t try to see your real face. You should reflect on that part.”

It was when she was having such a conversation with Lerisha. Suddenly thump! With a loud vibration, all the lights of the magical powers that were lighting up the auditorium went out. It started The last part of Part 1, Act 3, Joint Battle.

In the darkened auditorium, a muffled sound was heard. 30 Minute break. For a short period of time and a long period of time, the professors have gone out of the auditorium to rest, and most of the senior students have returned to their dorms.

Some of the first-year students who remained there will also be outside, and some will be isolated here and there in this large indoor training ground. By now, a group of monsters summoned by someone would be walking around the hallway, so the timid freshmen would hide and not be able to come out.

“What, what… Worth Looks like I’ll have to go and assess the situation.”

With that said, she ran downstairs with luminous magic wrapped around her hand. It’s time for me to move slowly. Since Irina has specified my location, I need to move quickly.

Irina won’t be given the title of “Shadow Reaper” For nothing. In such a dark situation, it is possible to fly away with a stiff neck without a sound.

Looking at the current situation, where the princess stays in the training ground, Arisha’s route, Lelisha, who has now descended to the first floor, hears from the students that the monsters have been attacking, makes an impromptu party, rescues the isolated students, and goes to the training ground. You will have to destroy the barrier on it.

That party member was either Rin or Ren, who was a member of her own party in her joint training. She got stuck in the bathroom, but for some reason, she pissed herself off, and Slop came out after blowing up the bathroom. And Irina, who had a fight with Ren or Slope. Nicia von Orisha, the first-year senior at Shaiza, who was saving to acquire materials. Then, a party of 5, including Princess Larrysha von Meloyer, rescues the students, releases the seal from inside the training ground, and informs the outside world of this situation.

On the contrary, if the main character chooses Melguard, and Lerisha and the main character are outside the training ground, they can’t wait for the professor to come, so they throw an impromptu party and go inside. Now that anyone can see it, it’s Arisha’s route, so if she acts while recognizing that part, she won’t be in big trouble.

If the aforementioned 5 party members unite, this situation should be resolved smoothly. Thinking so, I walked out into the hallway to hide in a safe zone. The cluttered hallway became quiet at once with the news of the appearance of the monster. The students who were near the auditorium fled into the auditorium.

All the lights were out, but it wasn’t so dark that you couldn’t see anything as it was still sunny. In addition, all the students who were hanging out in the hallway ran into the auditorium, so there are no students to care about me.

Now, you should hide in the vicinity of the place where the accident occurs and collect the reward. It was a time when I hurried my steps with that thought in mind.

“Older brother… Did we meet at the right time?”

“…… “

Thinking about it, as long as I’m alive, Irina’s attention can’t help but be focused on me. Irina Blood, who should move with Lerry Shah, chased after me, unlike her original work. It was the moment when the original party to solve this case collapsed before it was even formed.

By the way, Irina, who sneaked out without noticing and immediately identified my location, is also great.

“Irina, the situation is serious right now. Can’t you see?”

“Looks like it. But is it just fine? In this atmosphere, even if one brother disappears, no one will notice, right? All the lights are off, so it’s dark… “

The moment Irina was about to say that it was dark, her mana was restored and the hallway was illuminated. After her momentary pause, Irina continued her words, pulling out her dagger wrapped around her thigh.

“… I don’t lose, but they all look distraught. Look, there’s no one in the hallway, right?”

“This is an emergency! Students in the hallway, please quickly gather in the auditorium! I say it again!—”

Shortly after Irina finished saying that there was no one there, several students started running around shouting like that.

“Hey, ah, you’re the senior. That… There was a word from Princess Larisha that all students should gather in the auditorium.”

“Yes. I get it.”

“I’m in a mess! Most of the training ground area 1 is said to have been destroyed! In addition, they say that there are things that look like monsters roaming around! It is said that they lost contact with the outside world and the exit was blocked. It’s dangerous, so please go quickly!”

After saying that, the first-year student started running down the hallway. I know who that student is. She later joins the student council and is one of the students who follows Lerisha.

Strangely, she said that she was trusted by Lerry Shah, but she seems to have won Lerry Sha’s trust by acting like that in an invisible part of the story.

When her situation doesn’t go her way, Irina looks at me with her eyes narrowed. She said that’s a sign that she’s in a bad mood. Judging from Irina’s situation, it seems like she intends to take my neck no matter what. Thinking so, I took out a straight flask from the pocket on her belt.

“Irina, this is not the time for the two of us to be like this. If a monster appeared, it would cause a lot of damage.”

“You are the heir to the Blood family… No, when did the heir become so kind?”

“I have always been like this.”

Did I make a mistake? Irina gritted her teeth and expressed hostility, then lifted the black muffler that was wrapped around her neck to cover her lower eyes.

“You want to protect the students, are you going to say that?”

“… Okay”

Irina’s dagger contains mana and begins to glow. He was planning to use the blood type assassination technique against me. Weird? If it was the Irina I knew, she would be here with her sword.

Irina Blood is by no means a good character. But she is kind to those who help her others, even at the cost of herself. Because I know that, she said she wants to protect her students. However, something is wrong with her. My one word made Irina Blood even more angry.

I had no choice but to open the cap of the Prepared for the battle against Irina. This was the item that perfectly shot Irina Blood. She has high energy and dexterity at the expense of her stamina, strength and will.

A close-range glass cannon type assassin character aiming for a critical hit. That is Irina Blood. She has one fatal weakness. That her willpower level is abnormally low.

She is extremely vulnerable to status ailments.

“Irina, think again. Isn’t this the time for the two of us to argue?”

“…… “

Irina grabs her sword and lunges at me. At the same time, I predicted Irina’s direction and broke the potion. As the contents spread across the floor, it begins to emit gas. Irina exhibits tremendous agility, comes to a sudden stop, and runs at her full speed avoiding the remains of her potion.

“Goodbye”

As I said that, I jumped with the tip of the dagger pointed directly at my neck. A situation where you will be stabbed with a knife in the next second. If Irina stretches out her arms, I’ll get a hole in my neck. But Irina misses her dagger in her hand, and it passes me, and she slumps to the floor.

“Oh… come… Brother. Uh, what… What are you doing?”

“… It is the essence of magical gardening. It’s just a potion, but it’s safe to say that each of the works containing magic gardening materials is consumable magic.”

“That, what is that… “

She sits on her floor, hugging her own body. Her whole body trembles, and her face starts to turn red.

「Hyew Heep Potion」

●A potion with a magical effect that emits gas. If you inhale this gas, you will feel very sad. It is said that the only way to become comfortable is to pour out a lot of tears. Legend has it that even the goddess shed tears after being hit by this potion.

“Muh, heh, what… “

Irina sat down on the floor, pulled down the scarf that was covering her face, and began to hug her body. Her eyes begin to redden.

She tries to hold on by biting her lip, as if embarrassed by her own condition. However, her Irina’s Will would not be able to withstand her Hib Hib Hib Potion.

That’s because this potion is a powerful potion that can only be obtained by using an item left by Shaiza. It is a strong item that takes a long time to make by harvesting the ingredients yourself. Items that only appeared in the middle of the game were used in the beginning, so it must be difficult for the current Irina to endure.

Originally, it is a gag item, but when you encounter these items in real life, the ways to use them become endless. For example, wouldn’t it be perfect to use when educating a spoiled younger sister like now?

I bent over her and Irina held up her dagger, which she missed. Even in that situation, Irina Blood bites her lips to hold back her crying, and she is glaring at me as if she would kill me.

It’s not scary at all if a woman who is about to burst into tears stares at her like that.

“As you said, Irina, it worked well that there were no students around.”

“Everything, Doc… , shut up… “

“You don’t have to put up with it.”

“Shut up… Ugh, say… I said Heck, aaang!”

Unable to overcome the effects of her potion, Irina eventually buried her face in her palms and started crying again. Shaking her shoulders, she sees Irina crying loudly, and her heart is strangely aching. But I had no choice but to live.

“Ahhh! Kill, uhhh, kill…ぅ, aaang!”

“Speak or cry, do one or the other.”

With that said, I took her dagger and approached Irina. She wondered if I was going to attack her, so she cried and shrugged her body.

At that time, along with the sound of footsteps echoing in the hallway, I heard the familiar cry of Lelisha.

“I hear you are here! Woros Blood Wait, look at me… “

Lerisha, who was rushing over, saw Irina sitting on her floor, crying as if she was saddened by her world, and me approaching her holding her dagger. Eyes wide open.

Lerry Sha must have decided that I was going to kill her Irina. She pulled out her sword from the scabbard wrapped around her waist and stood covering her Irina.

“Whoa, Woros Blood! Also, what the hell… “

“I know what the princess is thinking, but it’s a misunderstanding.”

“Oh, misunderstanding? What is the misunderstanding?”

I don’t think Lerisha would believe me if I told the truth. Judging that, I threw the dagger I was holding onto the floor and took a step backwards with both hands raised. Lerisha looks at me with a nervous look, and when the distance between her widens to some extent, she gets on her knees and examines Irina.

“Gwa, are you okay? Was it Miss Irina Blood? Whoa, did Woros do something?”

“Ahh! Oh, brother… Whew, oh, my brother… crying!”

“Irina… tell the truth.”

“Oh, brother… This, strange man, take the medicine”

Lerisha, who was holding Irina’s shoulders, looked at me with her eyes narrowed. Irina Blood isn’t such a character originally, but does the Hib Hib Potion even temporarily change her personality? You realize the power of the potion made with the knowledge of magic gardening, a treasure hidden by Shaiza.

“Waros Blood. Have you finally revealed your true nature? Everyone, do you know what you were trying to do?”

“Princess Larisha, calm down first. This is a misunderstanding.”

“Are you wrong? You made your own sister like this, and it’s a misunderstanding?”

Lerisha pats the back of Irina, who is crying sadly, then takes out her handkerchief from her arms and puts it to Irina’s nose. Then Irina sniffed! She blows her nose with a noise. Irina, who casually blows her nose on her princess’s handkerchief, is also amazing.

“Woros Blood, please explain!”

“So you said it was a misunderstanding—”

Bang!

A loud explosion echoed through the hallway, and Lelisha and I shifted our eyes to the direction where the sound came from. This sound. It was clear that Srop, who had been isolated in the bathroom, exploded the bathroom. I didn’t miss this opportunity and looked at Lerisha and opened her mouth.

“First of all… It looks like you have urgent business. Princess.”

At my words, Lerisha stood up from her seat while supporting her Irina. Even at this moment, Lerisha does not take her suspicious eye.

It’s really crazy.
