122 – Regita – 4
Since the president did not return, stories about him began to spread.
This wouldn’t have happened if the commoner mage hadn’t been here in the first place—the atmosphere started to form.
Another commoner mage, Karen, who was with Lila, watched her discreetly.
“What should I do, Laila… We are the only common mages left in the social hall.”
Layla just watches the situation of the president of the social club in silence.
Those empty eyes were filled with indescribable emotions, and only noble wizards were reflected in the retina.
Karen was full of insecurities. The atmosphere in this place was also frightening, and she was also anxious that something might happen to them.
“Hey, Lila.”
She calls Lila one more time.
“We just… Shall I go back? If someone did it, they’ve been targeting common mages since earlier, so I don’t think we’ll do anything good if we stay here.”
“……Then.”
Lila nodded her head quietly.
“I’m sorry, Karen.”
Karen just added that.
She knew how hard Layla had been trying to visit Louie Kiran and how excited she was when she got the invitation.
That’s why she felt sorry that she could only urge her to go back, and this situation hurt her heart.
Sad feelings go hand in hand with sad feelings. The two stood close together and quietly walked towards the outside of Ruikiran.
But then something strange happened.
“Is it locked?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Muttered Karen in her embarrassed voice.
As Karen backed off, this time Layla placed her hand on the door cautiously. However, doing so did not change the results.
“…Really? Why is this?”
After reading their mana, the door should open on its own, but the door is not functioning properly. As if they were going to lock them up.
“That’s strange. I can’t do this. I’ll take a closer look.”
Karen began focusing her attention on the door.
She tried to be calm, but by her side, she seemed worldly urgent.
She tried to fit in but couldn’t fit in. She tried to get out of it but couldn’t get out of it.
She began to read the mana circuit hanging on the door stroke by stroke. She felt a different circuit being discovered than when she first entered.
… It’s different.
Her structure is different from when she joined Louis Kiran. What a strange thing. I can’t…
Then at some point.
“Lyla?”
She called her dear friend by name. While she was paying attention to her coming to her door, Lila’s figure had disappeared.
“Karen!”
It’s clearly Lila’s voice. Somewhere in her, she heard a voice calling her own name, similar to her screams.
Where is it? Back? Stomach? Karen, who was very surprised because it seemed to be upward, bent her neck upward.
But Lila wasn’t there.
“Lyla? Where are you going?”
In my head, all kinds of worst-case scenarios began to unfold.
She couldn’t stop thinking about Lyla when she disappeared in a situation where bad things were only happening to common mages.
I even seemed to be able to see Layla’s orange hair in the distance.
“Surprised, why did you go inside again?”
Karen hurriedly ran, putting Lila’s figure in her field of vision. Yes, she was an ordinary Lila who hadn’t had anything done yet.
“…I don’t know, I just feel like I should do something like this.”
“Why are you suddenly saying something stupid? After all, if we are here, we must be crazy. Let’s get out of here.”
“Yes, yes.”
They started walking toward the door again. But all of a sudden, Lila started laughing.
“You know. Karen.”
“Huh?”
“Do you remember when we first learned magic?”
“Which way?”
“You were so ignored just because you were a commoner. So work harder.”
“Ah… yes. Surely.”
The painful memories pierced the back of my head like an awl. It was a painful memory that I could sink deep into my heart, but I could never forget.
After a while, Karen smiled bitterly.
“Let’s forget everything first. Let’s go out and eat something delicious while talking.”
Yes.
I could definitely hear Layla replying like that. But Lila was no longer there.
“Uh… hmm?”
Lila disappeared before her eyes. But I can still hear her voice.
What is it? Why is it Karen? Are you sick. Where are you looking What are you doing. The voices continued, but Karen couldn’t see Lila.
And then.
A face that floats like a white balloon, eyes bigger than a mouth, and a mouth that doesn’t form anything and mumbles. Something unknown opened her mouth and stared at Karen.
“Huggaaa!!”
Is this the ghost everyone was talking about? Karen couldn’t stand it and lost her mind.
◈
-What the hell is this…
-The door was also locked.
Amidst all this turmoil, DeMerry and Zekiel immersed themselves in investigating the situation.
Since the goal was to make Regita’s weapon and make it intact, it was a pretty big obstacle for Jekiel that this issue was not resolved here.
Demery suddenly.
“In the end, it seems that all common mages have been defeated.”
“Natural disasters don’t discriminate against one another. In the end, it became clear that someone had done it.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Both nodded silently. She must have thought that even Regita, who was standing still beside her, should act that way, she did.
But at that moment, something strange stood out in the corner of Jekiel’s field of vision. It’s a very minor thing, but something that bothers me.
“DeMary.”
“Yes.”
“Didn’t it be said that all commoners were robbed?”
“I was beaten all over.”
“I don’t think so.”
Jekiel started walking quickly. It was briefly reflected in a corner of his vision, and he would never miss it.
“My, Mr. Zekiel?”
Demery looked around and quickly clung to Jekiel. Regita did the same.
I didn’t have to walk long. I found it soon
“U, Ghost… I am so afraid of ghosts… !”
Karen sat on the floor and cried.
Jekiel didn’t even know her name, but he remembered that she was one of the people who called out to Layla.
“It is bizarre.”
From nob le mt l. co m
More than weird, the expression bizarre was just right.
Everyone is in pain and confusion like this, but in the main scenario, the alarm of the death fork is never given.
This is nonsense.
Basically, he was Jekiel, who was using the commoner status of Adrian.
If you’re aiming for some reason, isn’t it right to aim for Jekiel as well?
“Let’s go.”
Anyway, the ‘strange thing’ that Jekiel put in a corner of his field of vision earlier wasn’t Karen sitting down and crying.
He started walking again, and DeMerry and Regita followed suit without saying a word.
DeMerry was in a position not to ask even if he had any questions, and Regita had no idea. DeMary suddenly snapped her fingers.
“Huh? But now that I think about it, isn’t Jekiel-sama also a commoner?”
It seems that I finally had that idea.
“Then it’s really dangerous. No matter how much Zekiel-sama is, it wouldn’t be good if he got caught up in trouble.”
After muttering that, DeMerry tilted his head out of nowhere.
“No, should I rather pray for him to touch Jekiel-sama? It would be really nice if he showed up like that and then got overpowered…”
“There is no need for that. He has no intention of targeting me. So he has no choice but to go to him himself, and he will solve it now.”

Muttering like that, his attitude was calm. He silently moved his steps once again.
A mana energy that feels strangely out of place. Towards its source.
Ruikiran was spacious and, of course, also had an underground area. He headed underground without hesitation. It didn’t matter if it was dark. Because his eyes function more clearly in the dark.
“Oh, what? Are you Jekyll? I don’t even have an invitation, so I’m just going to the workshop?!”
“Half correct. It is half false.”
I’ll go to the workshop, but I won’t go inside.
Tak–.
After going down all the stairs, we finally reached it.
There was a different sound from when I stepped on the stairs. The ground the shoe heel touched was as hard as stone.
He could be sure he had arrived. The aura of mana that felt a sense of incongruity was felt here.
On the other side of Demeri, Zekiel, and Regita.
“You are still fine.”
The underground air that always maintains a cool temperature, the common wind that roars and roars, and at the end.
A commoner mage with orange hair.
“Lyla.”
There was Lyla.
Hmm 🧐
