245. Time flies
[Aren’t you saying it too strongly?]
[I also agree with what the senior said.]
The dark spirit and Stella came up to me and talked to me as I was helping Professor Pere calculate the equation.
The two people who had been looking at Professor Per earlier continue their conversation in a regretful tone.
[You know what you were trying to do for us.]
[Even though it was a little excessive, it was ultimately a favor.]
“But I cannot accept that offer.”
There was no compromise in this regard. What Professor Per suggested was not much different from bringing a dead person back to life.
[No thanks.]
The dark spirit woman crossed her arms and could not reply, but Stella, who was next to her, took a step closer and answered back.
[Aren’t you too bound by your own beliefs?]
Hearing those words, I unconsciously turned my head towards Stella. She was smiling her usual calm smile, but inside it was a rebuke toward me.
[Deius, I agree with your beliefs. Resurrection is a concept that cannot exist in religion.]
On the current continent, most religions that promote the concept of eternal life or resurrection are treated as heretics.
Because there are black magicians who use the dead, most religions focus on the afterlife rather than resurrection or eternal life.
[But I am too swayed by it. Even though Professor Fehr crossed the line to some extent, I don’t think she completely denies the research she developed.]
[…] … It doesn’t have horns.]
A dark spirit looking at Stella with blank and surprised eyes. He looks embarrassed, as if he didn’t know she would speak so strongly.
Despite the dark spirit’s reaction, Stella’s eyes were still focused on me.
[It can definitely be used in other ways, not just resurrection.]
“…… Okay.”
I put down the pen and nodded without thinking for long. She was right.
I was hasty in warning Professor Per, thinking that I was trespassing on territory that should not be crossed.
I wish she could use her invented research in other ways too. I cut off the branches in advance.
Because it was a sensitive topic, I also blamed myself for being a little emotional without realizing it.
‘Now I can’t say my emotions are light.’
It is not abundant, and the wave of emotions is still lighter than others, but it is still not as calm as before.
As I lived on this continent, I, as a person, was definitely changing.
[It’s okay, that’s not a bad thing at all.]
Stella smiles and comforts me as if she knows what I’m thinking.
Sometimes I thought she was using mind-reading skills. It must be the know-how of a woman who has listened to countless people’s advice under the name of a saint.
“Thank you.”
Criticism of mistakes and encouragement of human growth.
I felt like I was receiving help from Stella in many ways. When I think about it, I have the best counselor on the continent.
Stella responded to my words quite mischievously.
[I don’t have much time, so I have to say everything I want to say.]
[Wow… ….]
The dark spirit apostle opened her mouth and let out an exclamation, as if she had not expected Stella to speak so blatantly.
Even though we all knew that we would eventually break up, we didn’t necessarily say it out loud.
Stella casually breaks such unwritten rules.
She doesn’t bother to point it out because she knows that it’s to give me enlightenment in her own way.
I followed the advice and got up from my seat and headed towards Per without much hesitation.
At my request, she was creating a slightly more elaborate mannequin-like object.
“Professor Per.”
“Ugh! Yes, yes!”
When she saw me suddenly visiting, she was startled and fussed. Seeing this reaction definitely made me think that I had gone a little too far.
“I was sorry about earlier.”
“Yes?”
I politely apologize again to her as she opens her eyes and asks me back, as if she didn’t know I was going to apologize.
“I felt like they disparaged your efforts and research results by only looking at a few parts. “I will still deny the method of resurrecting the dead, but the research you have done may have a wide range of uses beyond that.”
When I honestly confessed my feelings, Professor Per blinked his big eyes, then smiled brightly and raised his glasses.
“No! No! I made a mistake! You can resurrect a dead person! In fact, I have come to think that it is a method that should not be done, that it can be accused of being heretical, and that it does much more harm than good!”
I don’t know if it makes me feel good that I took the initiative to apologize, or if I’m happy that a relationship that could have been soured has been repaired.
Professor Per looked like a puppy happy about the snow.
“Well, then Professor Deius. Is it okay if I use the method I researched for the item you requested this time? “Actually, I need your help.”
What I asked for is a mannequin that can be used remotely. However, it was necessary to control it through mana and share the view.
It could be seen as a kind of robot.
If you create an afterlife inside the general store, you will no longer be able to enter or enter that place.
Therefore, I needed a doll that could move on my behalf when an abnormality was detected.
Even if you can’t go in, you can control the situation by controlling the puppet with the door open from the outside.
It was one of several stabilizing devices I would prepare.
“…… Great.”
I don’t know what she wants, but she needs my help.
As someone who was making a request, I couldn’t refuse.
“Hey, look at this!”
I take out one of the items I took out earlier, a model of a human arm. One unusual thing is that it is white without any color and is rather small.
From Noble mtl dot com
It’s about the size of a young student.
Per immediately injects his mana into it.
Then something surprising happened.
Skin color appears on the arms and they gradually begin to grow. As I looked at it like that, I was able to see what shape my arm was changing into.
“This…” ….”
[Wow.]
[That’s amazing.]
“hehehehe.”
I don’t think I could have heard the ghosts’ exclamations, but even though Professor Per was embarrassed by my reaction, he smiled cheerfully.
The arm, which had no shape or color, suddenly took on the same shape as Professor Per’s right hand.
“In this way, the form is built using the user’s mana. “If you do this, you won’t have to shape it separately and you won’t feel any discomfort.”
Now I think I understand why Professor Perh wants my help.
This is black magic. To be precise, it touched on one side of necromancy, but could not go beyond its boundaries.
No matter what wounds there are, if you become a soul, you can maintain your previous appearance without wounds through your spirit and will.
Stella behind me was like that.
This had very similar aspects to that.
I said mana, but I needed to move on to a more profound way.
Professor Per spoke to me very carefully.
“Actually, it is possible to do it on areas like arms and legs, but when it comes to detailed areas like the face, it doesn’t work at all.”
“… ….”
“So, Professor, can you help me?” … Do.”
I had many thoughts.
Certainly, it was understandable that these results made it easy for her to speak of her resurrection.
Professor Per is clearly unique and has unrivaled talent among the wizards I have met on this continent.
A technology that can be widely used in many ways even if it is not a resurrection.
I accepted her offer.
* * *
[Gasp.]
Looking at the floating head, I frown without realizing it. The head floating in the sky had the shape of a dark spirit.
[I don’t want to do it.]
It was certainly impressive to see the dark spirit’s face hanging on the body.
In reality, the face is blurry, the eyes do not blink properly, the expression becomes stiff and the voice is not heard.
I could hear it because it was her soul, but Per did not understand what she was saying.
“Come out.”
[I should have won rock-paper-scissors.]
[Phew.]
It’s not strange because I can see the dark spirit’s entire body anyway, but if someone else saw it, only her face would have seemed to be floating.
With the help of a dark spirit, albeit briefly, research on her artificial body progressed further.
‘I think it should no longer be viewed as a simple artificial body.’
If we were to give it an academic name, it would be bio-magic.
Biological robot?
Bio robot?
I don’t know the exact terminology.
With this, there can be no casualties at all when working on dangerous sites or construction projects.
People do the work, but they don’t get hurt.
To be honest, I was a little excited about the future that Professor Per would create.
“Keuuah. Shall we stop here for now?”
Professor Per, who was writing down various things in his notebook while looking at the floating dark spirit, stretches and twists his body.
If Finden’s child was here, she would have subjected her to low-level s*xual harassment again.
I was also trying to relieve my stiff body. Deia was sitting with her chin resting on her desk, looking at her body with a very serious expression.
“Why are you doing that?”
She said earlier that she was just going to look around because she was bored, but even though she frowned as if she was tickled somewhere, she scratched her head and listened to her words.
But even so, in the end, it was either because of my gaze or because I couldn’t bear it.
Her words come out as if they are leaking out.
“If you go in there…….”
“Hmm?”
There is no need for me to use it. And right now, I’m using it by inserting my soul, but in the future, when I use it, I’ll just infuse mana and use it as a type of connection.
I tried to correct you by saying that the expression “Entering” Was incorrect.
“No, it’s nothing. “I guess I was sleepy and had strange thoughts.”
Waving her hands, Deia blurted out her words. I was a little concerned, but I also felt like there was dust on my head because I had been underground for so long.
“I’ll come back after getting some fresh air.”
“Ah, yes. “I’ll make some coffee.”
I head out, leaving Professor Per behind. As Stella advised, her research could be used not to resurrect people, but to prevent people from dying.
I really liked it, but I was curious about how far it could go.
“Really, do you think that’s possible? “Do you think the owner won’t like it?”
“I was just seriously thinking about ways to make everyone happy. “Are you giving in on my part?”
“Damn, am I going to win?”
“I didn’t mean to give up either.”
As I went outside, a familiar voice blew along with the night wind. As I walked along the tobacco scent, there was Findenai burning tobacco while looking at the moon, and Erica drinking coffee.
Erika was lying in her hospital bed from the injuries she sustained in the Rometiu Forest, and it seemed she had now fully recovered.
“What are you two doing?”
When I intervene and ask, the two people startle and shrink away.
Erika was laughing awkwardly as she poked Findenai’s side, as if she was telling me something I shouldn’t have heard.
“No, nothing.”
But the opponent is Finden Eye.
“This crazy b*tch wants to tear the owner to pieces and take it?”
“Finden Eye!”
“… ….”
Erika’s voice rises in an unusually high tone as she is startled by Finden Eye who immediately tells her.
“What does it mean?”
I really didn’t understand, so I asked, and Findenai took out the remaining candle and said,
“This is what they say, since me and this guy like the owner, let’s tear it up and eat it together. “Don’t you know the concubine?”
“Erica.”
As she looked at her with a furrowed brow because of her sincerity, Erica quivered her lips as if she was speechless.
“Oh, no. That is… ….”
“Whoa.”
Sighing comes naturally.
She began to feel doubts about her trustworthy character that had been firmly established within her.
“Well, it seems like there are more people who care about you than you think…” ….”
Tears welled up in the corners of Erica’s eyes as she wiggled her hands and lowered her head.
Her face was red and she looked helpless because of her embarrassment towards herself.
“Griffins are monogamous.”
Your Majesty does not have a concubine, but I, a subject, cannot have a concubine.
Just as Stella and Dark Spirit Love eventually have to break up.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t answer someone’s feelings.
“I told you from the beginning that the owner wouldn’t accept it. “I can’t imagine the owner with a woman in his hands.”
“That’s…… So do i.”
Erica quietly agrees. In addition, Findenai declares itself proudly.
“And I often say things like I’m having an affair. I’m sorry, but I don’t like that kind of thing. Owner, you idiot, should you give it to someone else instead of me? “I heard there’s a limit to how many times men can do it.”
“…… Findenai.”
I tried to warn you to do it in moderation.
“How many times can you do it? Ah, I should have asked Iluania.”
He starts talking to himself like crazy. In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and spoke again.
“I would have told you not to fuss when you don’t have proper experience.”
I thought I would step back this time too. Findeneye is confident with its never-ending spirit, so it takes a step towards me and shouts excitedly.
“Try it, try it again this time. But I warn you.”
“… ….”
“The moment I attack you, I won’t let you go. “If you are confident in taking responsibility, you can take it off.”
I had no idea it would come out so boldly. Just once. Although her unexpected offensiveness caught her off guard.
Having already experienced the humiliation of her time, she acted boldly as if she had practiced this situation several times.
“Over there.”
Unfortunately, in her imagination, Erica was not by her side.
“I am your fiancee.”
Erica, with her blushing face and slightly swollen cheeks tugging at the hem of her dress, had a fresh cuteness that did not match her age.
“You fool.”
