Haunted Manor – 3
I stopped reminiscing.
Trail’s voice is heard.
[Kale values nothing but his fame. Forcing a party member to use a technique with such a price.]
‘I have no intention of defending him, but it may be because the situation is so urgent. Besides, if it were Xenia’s personality, he would have said that he would go ahead and use magic.’
[Ummm. What would you have done if you were in that situation?]
‘Don’t ask meaningless questions.’
Trail burst into laughter and continued speaking as if exuding.
[Whatever it was, it must have been better than Kayle. I believe you.]
‘Of course it is.’
[This was the time to be touched.]
Then Mariana’s voice was heard.
“This is the reality of the curse that I have grasped.”
“Well. Someone has opened the door to the underworld?”
“Based on the investigations so far, the souls of the Youngji people were not from here. However, it doesn’t make sense for ghosts from all over the continent to gather in one place. Someone must have opened the door to the underworld nearby.”
“……”
“And it is impossible to open the gates of the underworld with ordinary spells. It should be enough to draw a full picture of a person’s body.”

Mariana took a sip of tea, apparently tired of the long story.order.
Unlike the magic circle of wizards, spells are usually drawn on the necromancer’s own body.
That side is comfortable to feel the soul.

Meanwhile, Neryl opened her mouth.“Then the person with the inscription on his body must be the culprit.”
“yes. And by the way, I’m not. I have already completed the examination.”
“I don’t really doubt you.”
“……Thank you. I must have been a little sensitive.”
Then Tibr intervened.
He glanced at Neryl to see if it was right for us, outsiders, to meddle in this.
“I will check again.”
“I told you that the examination of my body was over.”
“I heard that a talented necromancer can draw a spell so small that it is invisible. Or make it transparent so that it cannot be seen by the general public.”
“……”
“I don’t know who investigated you, but the eyes of those who are not versed in necromancy can be fooled enough.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mariana bit her lip to see if that was true.Then Xenia said.
“Then I will check.”
“Jenia?”
“You don’t have to look at me with such a surprised face, do you? I can’t fool my eyes with the shallow tricks you just said.”
She is definitely the same woman, and there is no one more suitable than Zenia, whose skills are far above Tibur.
“If it’s all right, why don’t we start right away? Mariana-sama is the most knowledgeable about this matter, but we have to continue to have these kinds of doubts, which makes each other uncomfortable.”
“I like it anytime.”
what’s so stupid
Do you think that even 7th in the ranks will be able to deceive the heroic Xenia?
[Because that person doesn’t know that Xenia is a hero. Not yet.]
‘ah. That’s right.’
[How long should I wait?]
‘ok?’
[You said you would usually see the secret at this time.]
This guy is very adaptable.
Well, this seems like a waste of time, so let’s get started.
‘great. Please do it right away.’
[Well.]
‘I will use the eye of the battery. Mariana Ain and…’
I stopped talking.
Then he started rubbing his eyes with his hands.
Neryl asks.
“What are you doing?”
“A little bit of snow.”
“At that time, you just do it because you are tired. out of shape.”
I ignored it and opened my eyes… No, I spoke to Trail.
‘I guess I’m a little tired. Can you rub my shoulders?’
[Do you think it is possible? Even if it’s possible, I won’t do it.]
‘Whoa. How the hell did this happen?’
[Why the hell are you doing this?]
Instead of answering, I looked over Mariana’s head once more.
– No guilt.
There are a few rules for my pigsty.
One of them is that they are arranged in the order of the sins they want to hide.
Another rule is that only crimes above a certain level are marked.
In that sense, the sentence ‘no sin’ is not particularly special.
For example, the blood letters of infants who want to commit a crime but can’t do it are all written like that.
Also, from experience, the only crimes registered in Piglet are those that result in at least a minimum prison sentence when applied to the Imperial Law.
For example, small things such as accidentally bumping into someone or interrupting sleep by chanting a loud bang in the middle of the night while drunk are not registered in Piglet.
Even so….
‘Those who are reaching the age of forty are innocent. This is the first time this has happened.’
what. This lady.
widely.

Meanwhile, Xenia returned with Mariana.She said with a slightly happy expression on her face for some reason.
“I checked Mariana from head to toe. There are no orders anywhere.”
Tibr said he was very suspicious.
“Are you sure?”
“Who do you think I am? Sir Tibr.”
“Sir, I’m sorry. Whoa.”
Eventually, the investigation returned to the starting point.
Not only for others, but also for me.
[Is there something wrong with that pigtail or something?]
‘I’ve never had anything like that in my long life.’
[Long life with only 34 years.]
‘Did you say 27 years?’
[You said it was a long life, but it got shorter.]
Anyway, I don’t think I can find any more clues here.
I decided to take a step back first.
“I understand the situation. Let us work together.”
“Cooperation?”
“It means we’re going to take care of this. Think of it as entrusting a quest to a mercenary.”
I looked at the Count and said, but Tibr responded.
“The sword of immortality. I heard recently that you arrogantly call yourself a hero.”
“It was not what I called myself. People gave it an undeserved title.”
“I know it’s overdone. Anomalies are the work of the Knights of Light! Do not meddle.”
I don’t really care, but I can see Neryl and Xenia getting angry for nothing.
In particular, Xenia opened her mouth.
“Then I will intervene.”
“Jenia?”
“I will accept this under my name, apart from Sir Tibr. Maid will be an attendant to help me. If you do this, there will be no problems, right?”
As if there was no reason to refute these words, Tibr made a very humble protest.
“…is the woman standing there sloppy over there as an attendant?”
Neryl answered.
“I am a girl.”
Tibr said he would like to talk a little more with the Count, so our party and Mariana left the mansion side by side.
Then a boy found us in the distance.
A cute little boy with shaggy black hair and blindfolded eyes.
He smiled all over his face like a sunflower blooming.
And rushes towards us.
“Ardwin. Don’t run. Then go beyond…”
quadang.
fell down
Ardwin, to put it bluntly, is too much neryl.
‘You still have bad reflexes.’
Then Ardwin bravely got up.
And he came closer to us more calmly than before.
In response to the subject who had a happy expression a while ago, Ardwin suddenly took a bizarre posture with his left and right arms crossed.
And he said:
“Fufu. The only person who will keep me waiting, my friend of the dead, will be my mother.”
“Ardwin. It’s a start again.”
“But your mother deserves it. A haven for the souls of aeons. A mother who can summon the souls she wants from the infinite underworld beyond the Redbee River.”
“Ahh. How did my son become like this?”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mariana covered her eyes with her sleeve as if she was genuinely sorry.I’m sorry too.
Even if you look behind me and look forward, you still have a weird way of speaking that I don’t understand.
As Ardwin was holding his form like that, Mariana lifted his bangs.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maybe it was just when he fell, and there was a little blood dripping from Ardwin’s forehead.“Don’t gossip and start treatment. He must have been injured when he fell.”
“Ahaha! No mother would ever be able to steal my blood.”
“……”
Then Xenia took a step forward.
Before Mariana could dry her, she placed her hand on Ardwin’s forehead and said a prayer.
“Heavenly God…”
I think it’s close to overspending to use the enormous divine power that is enough to resurrect a dying person, but let’s not meddle with it.
When Xenia took her hand off, Ardwin’s brow, which had become much cleaner, was visible.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mariana said surprised.“There was no need for you to do this.”
“no. I have the divine power to turn around.”
I can’t remember ever hearing such a lousy excuse in my life.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mariana covered her mouth and smiled.“Huhu. Thank you very much. There are people like you in the Knights of Light.”
“Please don’t think too badly of us.”
“Yes. I must have had prejudice at this age. You too.”
“Oh, well. Okay. Among the necromancers, there are people like Mariana-sama.”
Why is the atmosphere so bright?
Ardwin glanced up at Xenia.
“Hey. this is great Where did your life come from and where are you going?”
“It comes from God and returns to God.”
“Z, is that an immediate answer?”
“Some people say that life is a process from nothing to euro and from being to nothing. What do you think?”
“Oh, over there. I’ve never thought so deeply…”
“yes. We have a lot of time, so let’s think about it slowly. What is your name?”
“It’s Ardwin Ain……”
“Yes, Ardwin. Should I always be filial to my mother?”
“yes. Okay.”
After all, only Xenia can bring Ardwin back to normal.
I don’t know how you can draw the image you had before returning after 3 minutes of meeting.
Neril whispered.
“I think that little boy has a little headache.”
“Don’t say anything disrespectful in front of the mother of the sick little boy.”
“You agree with the headache.”
“It’s a symptom I’m seeing for the first time, but I think Xenia will be able to handle it, so it’ll be okay.”
“Are you okay? We’re not going to see each other again anyway… Oops. You said you were the next party member.”
Then Ardwin, whose symptoms subsided, spoke to Mariana in a normal tone.
“mother. How did you go?”
“You said you had nothing to worry about.”
“But I heard the people of the territory gossiping. The Light Paladins came to investigate. Have you ever had any doubts?”
He glanced at Xenia.
Instead of Mariana, Xenia answered.
“don’t worry. All charges have been cleared.”
“really?”
“yes. Do you believe in Mariana too?”
“Fufu. I do not attach any value to the word belief. It is just an illusion created by humans to find solace in a world where unbelief blasphemes.”
“There is a saying that in the days of the Demon Lord of Fall, the value that made it possible for humans to rise again was the primordial.”
“Uh, um. He, do you have any such words?”
Isn’t there such a thing
Why is the word primordial in there in the first place? It doesn’t fit the context.
Well, it’s good that Ardwin has returned to his sanity.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mariana looked at Xenia with curious eyes.“It’s amazing. Mr. Xenia. When my son is crooked like that, it usually takes two days.”
“Ah, no.”
“If it’s not an excuse, may I invite you to my house? He said he would solve this anyway, so I want to hold hands with you.”
Xenia glanced at me.
I nodded quietly.
With my consent, Xenia’s face brightens.
“All right. Please.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mariana’s pigtail reads ‘Innocent’, but prior to her return, it had been concluded that she had caused the incident.What English is it?
If you can’t see it with your battery’s eyes, I’ll check it with my own.
