133 – Delinia – Halloween 1
“Wow, that is really creepy. Originally, it’s not this cold here at this time of year.”
Rosé covered herself and trembled while muttering. I wonder if the sudden cold even came out with a runny nose! After making a snoring sound, Rosé looked around.
“Probably the effect of fraud. The temperature is lower than other places where the undead that give off morale are concentrated.”
Rather, Tequila, who had been walking silently as if she was accustomed to the cold, held the scythe she had used in sparring with us a while ago.
And Demonic who follows her like that. Even though there was no map, Tequila was moving ahead, following the reverberation of the scam as if it had already been there.
“This way.”
Tequila cuts down the grass in front of her as if weeding it. Rosé, who was following her, exclaimed exclamation after looking at her.
“Wow, Miss Tequila. It’s so cool. I don’t know the detailed route, but I’m going straight without any obstacles.”
“It must be because the magic and summoned beasts it handles are of that type, so they are familiar with it. Isn’t it comfortable and nice?”
“That’s right~ How embarrassed I was when Ella said she didn’t know the way at first.”
“Yeah, you heard that from your parents! It can be easy to get lost in terrain deformed by fraud!”
As if she had a valid reason, Ella immediately refuted Rosé. However, Rosé only reacted teasingly, saying, ‘In a nutshell~ I’m sure that’s true~’.
“Ugh… … . After all, he doesn’t even know the way, and he just makes fun of it all the time!”
“It’s all because our Ella’s reaction is cute~. Right, Mr. Gregory?”
Certainly, it was nice to see Rose’s reaction after teasing her, but if I answered straight away, even I would resent her.
I thought it would be better to give a moderately moderate answer.
“Rosé is doing it because she likes you.”
“I know that too… … .”
“hehehe, right. It’s been a while since I met Ella, so please understand. huh?”
Right away, Rosé grabbed Ella’s arm and smiled as if asking to see her. Jureuk. and mucus dripped from her nose.
“Puha!”
And seeing Rosé like that, Ella bursts into laughter.
“lol! laughed!”
“If my sister comes out like this, I have nothing to say. It’s really bad.”
“hehehe, this is all because I like our Ella.”
Even as she said that, Rosé was still trembling. Unexpectedly, it seemed that Rosé was weak against the cold.
“Rosé.”
“yes?”
“Cover this, too.”
I took off the coat I was wearing and put it on Rose’s body. It was because I had never felt heat or cold since I became this body, but a mana coat. It would have been better for the coat if it was helpful to Rosé.
“Oh, thank you… … ! It’s warm!”
Although it was a coat of moderate thickness, fortunately it seemed to be enough to block the cold that beset Rosé.
Rosé’s trembling slowly diminished as she covered her coat. Like that, when I was going into the forest following Tequila, who was ahead of me again.
In front, Tequila raised her fist and signaled to stop.
“Seeing that the musk doesn’t get thicker from here, it looks like we’re almost there. I think you should prepare everything.”
After hearing her words, everyone starts preparing for battle.
Ella pulls out the bow she was carrying on her back, and Rosé grabs ‘Indomitable’, which has already become her favorite soldier. And I transform into wheel form through transformation.
Come to think of it, did I just say that tequila is musk? So far, there was nothing but a damp musty smell, so I was curious.
Well, you might want to check it out.
[(Skill: Increased Smell) is activated.]
[The sense of smell rises dramatically.]
At the same time as using the skill, I started to feel a little bit of a pungent scent from the smell that had only been damp until just now.
Could this be the musk that tequila refers to? It wasn’t a very pleasant smell.
“I… … . Gregory?”
Rose, who was standing in front of me, looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.
“huh? Why?”
“that… … . More, the antennae suddenly move tremendously. Is something going on?”
“Do you have antennae?”
It must have been because of the use of olfactory enhancement. The flamboyant movements of the antennae that I can actually see with my own eyes.
When the activation of the skill was stopped, the feelers returned to their calm state.
“Nothing. I just checked something for a while.”
And thanks to that, I was able to clearly determine where Halloween was.
“Then, let’s get everyone ready. The position is as we talked about in the mansion. Are you okay?”
“yes. I will protect Ella from the rear.”
“yes! From now on, I will protect Ella!”
“All I had to do was to move in the direction of supporting you as much as possible. I remember”
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
Formation is formed as everyone has said beforehand. Me and Rosé are in the forefront. Ella in the middle. And tequila and demonic at the back.
In other words, considering the location, this was the feeling.
me rosé
Ella
tequila
Demonic
And, right in front of us who formed the formation like this, the army of skeletons was going to make a road in a wedge formation.
“Tequila. Are you ready?”
“Yes, I will start right away.”
Tequila, who had eaten all kinds of elixirs and stocked up on mana, finally began to release the accumulated mana.
Purple magic circles appearing around them. Soon, the numerous undead that he saw in Dalian in the past began to rise from there.
R-rank Skeleton Summoners and Skeleton Soldiers guarding them.
In an instant, dozens of skeleton soldiers moved in front of us and formed a triangular formation.
“As everyone knows, breaking through Halloween is a crazy act. But, we’re here to do that crazy thing.”
In order to visit the grave of Lily von Euglia, the main heroine of [Summoner Academia], we wanted to do this crazy thing.
To solve Demonic’s wish.
To confirm her end as the one who defeated the disaster with her.
to help a friend.
to help the family.
Because I wanted to become stronger with my summons.
Like this, we each came together for different reasons, but in the end, the goal was the same.
Visit the grave of Lily von Euglia.
“… … Halloween is coming.”
Saying that, Tequila reached out. At the tip of her finger, she could see the black smoke drifting somewhere like mist through a valley.
“That’s Halloween… … .”
Ella also looked at it with a pretty surprised face, probably because it was the first time she had seen Halloween.
march of the dead.
Festival of the Dead. Halloween.
As if to represent its name, there was something that gnawed away one’s mental strength just by looking at it.
Fortunately, all the members here had a little bit of resistance to my appearance, so there seemed to be no problem.
“Then, prepare to rush in.”
Two pairs of arms are raised, ready to rush into Halloween.
[(Skill: Increased Smell) is activated.]
[(Skill: Fire enchantment) is activated.]
Two pairs of flames rising from four arms. I didn’t enchant [Attribute: Tom] to manage my magic, but since the attribute is fire, it should be enough to damage the undead.
“Then——”
Take a breath and look straight ahead.
Feast of the Dead? March of the Dead? If so, we will be remembered as uninvited guests today.
“──Rush.”
At the same time as my shout, the army of skeletons starts running first.
An army of skeletons that seem to be absorbed by something, but both enter Halloween.
Tequila, who was manipulating the skeletons from behind, frowned.
“As expected, as soon as we entered Halloween, the skeletons started to shrink.”
“What space can we fit in?”
“… … … now. You should come in now.”
“good night. Let us go in too.”
As it is, we also run towards Halloween and rush into the black fog.
───!! ───! ─────!!! ───!! ─────!!!! ────!!
At the same time as they rushed in, they began to hear the sound of swords clashing, the sound of something breaking, and the howl of a beast that they had never heard before.
The scene resembles a battlefield. We stood in the middle of the space created by Tequila’s summoners and looked around.
“Ella! Which direction is Lily’s grave?”
Hearing my cry, Ella quickly starts looking around.
“I’m not sure because of the change in Halloween… … . face! It’s the front! You just have to break through head-on!”
“face. i get it. Rose, are you ready?”
“Whoops, my ‘indomitable’ wants blood… … !”
“… … okay.”
Are you saying you’re ready?
“What kind of existence is the strongest elf and his summoned 1st year academy? Let’s make it clear.”
“yes!”
A black-haired elf and a demon archduke in the form of a wheel.
The two beings who made the academy tremble with fear have now descended to the land of the dead.
