I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 102

after the performance

The people in charge of the next turn go out in front of the fountain. I wondered if they were playing the piano again, but this time they took out makeup and tools, probably from performing arts.

Seeing as many people started to prepare, probably because it was a professional performance troupe, the boy who had just been playing the piano alone looked relatively shabby.

After the performance was over, the monsters all left before they knew it. Wiping his sweat, the boy hurriedly grabs the sheet music and leaves the stage with his back bent.

The boy exited without even receiving a short round of applause for the quick stage change.

I follow the boy who runs away. He wondered if he was going back home, but the boy was heading to a sculpture in a nearby park.

A boy sits in front of a sculpture of a piano keyboard painted on a rock by an artist and starts playing again.

[You’re working hard.]

“… … .”

Since it was a simple piano drawing, the boy continues to press down on the stone keys with his fingers even though no sound is heard.

Even though he is a pianist, his hands are swollen and bloody.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Judging by the dark stains on the keyboard drawing, it must have been practiced with blood spilling over and over again.

As the Dark Mage said, you have to work hard.

But is it okay for a pianist to treat his fingers like that?

The dark mage’s expression darkened as well, and he approached with worried eyes.

[Hey, don’t push yourself too hard.]

Was it because he was happy that there was one more person who could see him?

For the first time, the Dark Spirit speaks to others.

“… … .”

The boy just tapped on the drawing keyboard without answering anything.

[Then I hurt my finger.]

The Dark Mage is worried again. But this time, too, the boy did not answer.

[Hmm?]

And at this point, the Dark Mage feels strange. Just in case, I put my hand in front of the boy and wave it.

The boy was acting the same as if he couldn’t see anything.

[Mo, can’t you see?]

Confused Black Mage.

I also approached the boy, frowning at the subtlety.

When he saw them playing at the fountain until just now, he could clearly see the monsters around him.

But now I can’t see you again

It could have been limited to youkai, or it could have been for some other reason.

I approached the boy.

“… … !”

The boy who saw me was startled and tried to run away, but I reached out and grabbed his wrist.

“Hey, let go of this! I have no money yet!”

The boy twisted his body and tried to escape, but I sighed and replied.

“I don’t know who you are misunderstanding, but I am not here to get money from you.”

“… … yes?”

Only then did the boy confirm my appearance, and his eyes widened and he calmly sank.

“Yeah, that’s right. sorry.”

The boy bowed his head and apologized politely. The appearance is pretty cool with a small suit, but I’m a pianist, so I wonder if there’s a debt.

“Your performance was impressive, so I followed you like this.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Despite hearing the compliment, the boy’s expression was not so bright. He seemed dissatisfied with his performance.

I didn’t intend to waste time, so I asked directly.

“so. Why do monsters flock to you when you play?”

“Uh, how did you know?!”

A boy looking up at me with startled eyes. Indifferently, I looked down at him and replied.

“I am Deus Verdi, a memorial serviceman. He is the only black magician recognized by the royal family.”

“Ahhh! He is a very talkative man!”

The explanation was easy because he knew about me, whether the turmoil from Greypond had reached this city.

“If you wish, you can annihilate the monsters.”

“Oh no!”

The startled boy shudders and waves his hands. Seeing the monsters, you were so scared, but you don’t want to talk about extinction?

I started to wonder more about the boy.

“Explain to me what the situation is.”

As the boy forcibly pushes forward, the boy looks at him with a dumbfounded attitude as if he is speechless.

However, after I realized that I was a high-ranking person, there was no way for the boy to escape.

“First of all, my name is Owen Baltani. I used to live with my grandfather… … Grandpa is now dead.”

“hmm.”

“Actually, my grandfather was also a pianist. however… You were a rather unique pianist. Originally, no one believed it, but… … .”

Owen glanced at me.

He clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind and replied.

“Since the Witness Commander saw the ghosts in person, to tell you, my grandfather was actually a musician who relieved the grievances of the ghosts in the city.”

“… … Undo the Han?”

[Huh?]

I wondered what this was again.

However, me and the dark mage did not feel dumbfounded, but reacted in an interesting way.

“Yes, that’s right. When I heard my grandfather play the piano, the monsters were naturally satisfied and disappeared.”

“… … .”

“But the problem came after my grandfather passed away. I’m trying to relieve the youkai somehow, but… … .”

“You mean no?”

“you’re right!”

So the number of monsters increased in the city. Fearing the monsters, the spirits approached and harmed people.

The causal relationship was clearly established.

This was also the reason why ghosts suddenly entered the well-run Leon Hotel.

It was a pretty interesting situation, but wouldn’t it be right to annihilate it even more?

“Wei, are you trying to forcefully kill them?”

“Yes, no matter how pitiful the youkai are, the living are suffering because of it.”

I don’t know if it’s a human soul. I had no intention of caring about even the beings close to spiritual bodies that arose from ideas or beliefs.

To be honest, to me, they were similar to man-made objects.

The difference between simply having a will. In modern times, they were robots with egos, and I do not regard them as human beings.

“But I don’t want that! I want to give them satisfaction and see them off with my performance.”

Seeing the monsters gather at the piano, it seemed like they were hoping for that too.

It seemed that Owen’s skill had not reached that level and was not going away.

“But because of those monsters, the other dead tremble in fear and harm the living. That is why I came to this city.”

“ah… … .”

The boy sighs, saying he didn’t know that far. bewildered expression.

I want to be good and ask him about the part that bothered him from before.

“You can see all the youkai, right?”

“yes… … you’re right. You can see everything.”

“But don’t the dead see?”

“… … .”

You can see the ghost but not the soul of the dead?

I wondered if this was really possible. But the boy gave a very unexpected answer.

“Bo, I see. I can see all the dead people.”

However, he did not see the Dark Spirit. Again, the Dark Spirit moved in front of the boy, but he still did not respond.

The boy who was fidgeting couldn’t stand my scolding glance and added the details.

“however… … It is only visible when playing the piano. Normally, neither youkai nor dead people can be seen.”

“Hmm?”

[Wow, that’s very special, isn’t it?]

It was an unusual situation indeed.

I asked him to play the piano again to see if such a thing was really possible.

“George, street performers can only be played by designated people at designated times. It must be lunch tomorrow before I can play the piano again.”

Maybe that’s why the next people waiting for their turn on stage were standing in line.

“So, are you going to play in front of the fountain again tomorrow?”

“no. Tomorrow we will start playing at 13:00 on one of the tourist attractions in the city called Purzeni’s rooftop.”

“hmm.”

He is definitely a unique boy.

Normally, I can’t see anything spiritual, but I can only see it while playing the piano?

It wasn’t just the boy who had something, I wondered if his grandfather had a special power.

It was also interesting that the yokai satisfied themselves and disappeared.

“Okay, let’s go there tomorrow.”

So I thought of watching the boy a little longer.

* * *

next day.

There was a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel where you could eat separately, so we had a simple meal there.

The hostess was quite good at cooking, so we had a very satisfying meal.

Illuania, who drove the carriage all day yesterday and went to church with Finden-Ai, leaves it to rest.

The Dark Spirit kept it on Owen in case of an unexpected situation.

In the end, Finden Ai and the two of them went out into the streets.

What was a little surprising was that Finden Ai was wearing normal clothes, neither a nun’s uniform nor a maid’s uniform.

After tying her hair into a ponytail, she wore a plain white shirt and black pants.

It was awkward to see Finden Eye like this, so his expression hardened slightly.

“Where did you get that again?”

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to wear a nun’s uniform anymore, so I bought one on the way home.”

Finden Ai puts her hand on her waist. Looking at it this way, she is a truly mysterious beauty who does not appear to be the head of the resistance group or a maid trying to feed her master.

“why. Can you wear a maid’s uniform? Do you want to see me again because I’m not wearing it?”

“Okay, just come.”

“Don’t say anything nice.”

Finden Eye looks around while grumbling. Then, as flexible as a snake, he naturally crosses his arms.

I tried to withdraw my hand right away because the feeling of rejection was so strong that it gave me goosebumps all over my body, but it was already tightly gripped by her grip.

“What are you doing?”

As I forcibly pulled my body back, Finden-Ei replied with strangely emotional eyes.

“I was just curious about how people who walk around like this feel.”

“… … .”

“Everyone else does it once, but I’ve never done anything like this before. I was just curious.”

Quickly, he opened his arms and opened and closed the hands that had been intertwined with me with a strange expression on his face.

“It’s a strange feeling.”

“… … .”

“Oh, I just did it. It’s terribly expensive. I wanted to cling to it and bite and suck it like that.”

“Whoa.”

When I remembered that I was a woman who had been running away to survive and fighting for freedom since I was a child, I began to feel uncomfortable with being cold for no reason.

“I’m not going to do anything.”

That’s why I said something that wasn’t like me.

“I won’t say anything about walking while thinking that way.”

“hmm?”

Finden Ai smiled mischievously with her mouth wide open as if she hadn’t expected to hear such an answer.

“Then can I call you Deius?”

“Don’t mess around.”

An expression of disgust was built on its own, but Finden-Ai replied casually, as if an iron plate had been put on his face.

“Sweep, did I have to say oppa?”

“Whoa.”

I can’t.

“Let’s go to the bathroom for a while.”

I feel sick to my stomach and I think I need to vomit.
