I Became The Academy Necromancer

92. dead body

“How did you come to occupy that body?”

Being caught off guard is exactly what I meant when I was in a situation like this. I involuntarily breathed in vain, and I was so flustered that I couldn’t come up with an answer right away.

But she didn’t keep arguing with it. He just smiled benevolently while waiting for my answer.

How did you find out?

Although I was taken aback by the fact that she couldn’t even see my face because of the bandage, and made a statement that penetrated the inside.

Once I gave her an answer.

Of course it was rejected.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that.”

“Mmm.”

I’m sorry Stella. She answered with a tilt of her head.

“If you are simply an evil spirit, then I have no choice but to exorcise you.”

“Do you have the strength to do that?”

“Of course not.”

I hesitated for a moment at the natural tone. When I talked to her, I felt caught in the pace.

“I’m sorry if I was rude. I was just curious because you seem to be a different kind of being from demons.”

“… … I didn’t take the owner’s body by force.”

It wasn’t stolen because it came into his body after his owner, Deius, died. If I had to ask, should I say I picked it up?

“So I am more curious. You must be hiding a great secret.”

“Huh, you won’t forget everything by tomorrow anyway.”

I knew it could hurt, but I needed to get rid of her persistent inquisitiveness.

But rather, Stella nodded her head in agreement.

“So maybe you can tell me?”

“… … .”

“It is a secret. There are times when it hurts just to carry it on your back.”

The words that resonated so deeply made my heart pound without even realizing it. Even for me, whose emotions were weak, her voice reached out warmly.

“I think it’s fortunate that I lost my memory every day because of the devil’s curse.”

“… … .”

Stella, who placed the rosary in the shape of the sun, slowly reached out. When I gently reach out my hand to her as she stutters and stirs the air, he gently embraces it.

“That’s why you can hear things you shouldn’t have heard. Even if you openly tell me a secret you want to keep hidden, I won’t remember it even if I can give you comfort and sympathy.”

I couldn’t stop the beating.

Being with the woman in front of me made me feel at ease to the point where it was painful.

“What is your name?”

never asked

A pathetic question that will be forgotten tomorrow.

“Kim Shin-woo.”

I replied and Stella carefully pulled my hand and caressed her cheek.

The cool skin felt like the temperature of the tragedy she had been through.

“Kim Shin-woo. Tell your story. Not for me, but for you.”

“… … .”

“Perhaps I want to hear your story. To bear the burden you have, even for a moment.”

smile.

“And to forget you.”

A smile created in the midst of a cruel tragedy was like a small dandelion that rose from among a pile of corpses.

“I wonder if I’m under this curse.”

“… … .”

“How is it? Could you give me some time to accompany you today?”

we talked a lot

Starting from their childhood, memorable experiences, family memories, and unforgettable scars.

I could tell while talking.

Perhaps, not only me, but she also noticed.

We were comforted by conversation, and also comforted.

I explained how I had come into Deius after living a strange life of seeing ghosts.

Stella told me that she had lived a life of caring for others since she was a child, and had sacrificed everything as a saint.

Although it is a completely different life, we felt a strange sense of kinship with each other, sympathized with each other, and cared for each other.

That this is the world inside the game.

Also, I didn’t say that I knew the end of the world.

Starting from my past, where I was living in another world.

Stories from Northweden.

Cases resolved at the academy.

The rogues met at the royal court.

In addition to the false sacred power acting through the Holy Grail, she even became a memorial to comfort the dead in the kingdom.

After hearing all of this, Stella surprisingly thanked me.

“If the saintess is the sun of the kingdom, then you are the moon rising at night.”

“… … .”

“Please help Lucia. If you were there, he wouldn’t be like me.”

I didn’t bother to say that if I were there, I wouldn’t have made you that way.

It’s a meaningless family, and it only made me have vain hopes.

“You are indeed a great woman.”

So after all the conversation, I told her honestly.

No one I’ve ever met could be as noble or as great as her.

Nobility that even Hertia, the goddess of fire and furnace she serves, would have no choice but to bow her head when she saw Stella.

Your beautiful appearance will remain deeply in my heart.

“Thank you for telling me everything. Talking with you has comforted me a lot.”

“… … .”

“To the point where it’s a little regretful that everything will be forgotten tomorrow.”

Stella laughs mischievously. I replied calmly to her.

“That won’t happen.”

“Yes?”

Stella tilted her head, asking what that meant. But I just turned around.

It was a room without a chair, so I didn’t know I was tired even though I was standing all the time.

As soon as I tried to move, I felt a strong creaking sensation in my body.

“Stella, I respect you.”

“… … Yes?”

When Stella asked what she meant, I smiled slightly. It wasn’t an awkwardly drawn smile, it was a smile that really came from the heart.

“So don’t follow your wishes.”

rattle.

open the door and come out There was no need to re-lock the lock.

I tumbled down the stairs and came out, where Finden Eye, Illuania, and the Dark Spirit were waiting.

“Wow, it’s finally here!”

“You went in before lunch, but it’s already late in the evening. I left my meal.”

[I talked about it for a long time.]

“Eat later.”

I pushed away the plate Illuania held out and ordered Finden-Eye.

“Go to the convent storeroom and get a shovel.”

“shovel? suddenly?”

I answered without hesitation to Finden Eye, who said it was out of the blue.

“I dig up the grave.”

The three of them were surprised by the sudden declaration. However, Finden Ai immediately smiled and said,

“What do you know? I’ll bring it right away!”

Finden Ai storms into the excited nunnery. After ordering Illuania to wait inside the wagon, I headed to the graveyard with the Dark Mage.

A place where a tombstone whose name is still unknown has fallen.

[Did you come up with an answer after talking with the former saintess?]

“Yeah, I was able to find out something because I talked to her there.”

The Dark Spirit seemed curious, but I didn’t bother to say it.

After a while, Findenai took the shovel without difficulty, but it seemed to get caught in the middle, and he was dragging a lot of other nuns.

“Sorry, I got caught!”

It was Pinden Child who smiled brightly and said that he could knock the nuns out with a shovel right away, but I shook my head.

“Well done.”

It was good to bring everyone.

Perhaps not knowing how to be praised, Finden Ai shrugged her shoulders and felt awkward, but the abbess’s cry pierced her like an awl.

“What are you doing! Didn’t I show you pictures of the children’s corpses! Why are you digging the grave again!”

The nuns behind them also nodded. I answered without the slightest hesitation.

“I found out who the devil is.”

“Yes? Did you find out?”

“Yes, and you have to see the body with your own two eyes to be sure of that.”

“… … Ha, but!”

“Findenai, Farah.”

At my command, Findenai laughed and started digging the soil with a shovel.

“Would you be cursed if you dug up the nun’s grave? Would you like something hot?”

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Seeing Finden Eye digging up the soil like an excavator, the abbess and the nuns quietly separate from each other.

It was soon to be revealed which of them was the devil.

“Sir, please explain. An explanation that requires digging a grave!”

I nodded my head at the words of the nun who was outraged. There was little time left while Finden Ai was digging.

“When I had a brief interview with you this morning. All four nuns said they suspected Mela.”

“Yes?”

“Mela?!”

Mela and the abbess are surprised.

Mela glared at the four nuns with an expression of regret for feeling betrayed, and the abbess also replied that it couldn’t be.

“I can’t! Mela is now more like a saint than anyone else!”

The abbess started defending Mela by spitting.

“These children are Lucia and Stella. She has the qualities of a saint that can rival the two of them!”

“Yes, so it is.”

I nod. I wanted to give the abbess a round of applause for her answer.

“Because she was the closest nun to a double saint, the other four nuns must have driven Mela away with lies.”

The four immediately bowed their heads, bit their lips, or let out a somber moan.

Different responses, but one result.

“Yesterday, you guys who didn’t respond at all, pointed to Mela today. Didn’t you think that I would find it strange?”

Yesterday, the nuns who kept me in check and were afraid of me, pointed directly at Mela today.

They were already testimonies that reeked of reek.

“On the contrary, Mela. You kept your mouth shut with lies even though there was a suspicious nun.”

“… … !”

This time, all eyes are on Mela. She put on a puzzled expression as if she was suffocating, but eventually admitted it as if she was vomiting under the pressure.

“The nun is suspicious.”

“What!?”

As if hit in the back of the head, the nun’s eyes opened wide enough to protrude, and then jumped up.

“Me, are you talking about me? is that for me? Do you think that makes sense?!”

Perhaps because she reacted violently, Mela raised her voice accordingly and retorted.

“After the incident! The intensity of corporal punishment has increased! Even though they come out forcefully, they forcibly redeem us!”

Mela’s finger pretends and points to the abbess.

“I already know you put a lock on our door at midnight!”

“That, that!”

The other nuns were startled.

The nun was flustered and tried to make an excuse, but I interrupted and went in.

“Then why didn’t you tell me that the abbess was suspicious?”

“… … You, too, can’t believe it yet. I was going to tell Sister Stella if I had the chance, but you’re inside all day!”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Mela shouted, blushing as if her head had risen in heat.

The head of the convent pours out excuses to me with her mouth wide open, saying that it is unfair.

“Oh no! That’s not it! Wait! It’s true that I’ve been pushing the kids hard lately, but that’s… … !”

“It must have been because of the pressure that the next saintess might not come out of here.”

“… … !”

“It is a convent where the devil was summoned. The fear that the gods might not designate the next saint here must have driven you that way.”

At my words, the abbess nodded in dismay.

at that time.

“Master! I dug it all!”

Finden Eye’s cry bursts out. I left the nuns who were suspicious of each other and headed to the graveyard.

Three coffins arranged neatly.

After opening and reassembling them one by one, Finden-Eye makes a grumbling sound.

“Is it really just burnt out?”

Bodies identical to those shown in the photo. It was a little more rotten if I had to ask, but anyway.

[What is this?!]

However, the Dark Mage sees one of the corpses and looks at me in surprise.

with a look of disbelief.

Also, I wonder if you knew this.

I pointed to the far right end of the corpse while receiving the gaze of the dark mage.

I was convinced now.

“That’s not the nun’s corpse.”

“Yes?”

“What do you mean?”

A question from the abbess and Mella.

I clicked my tongue and replied.

“It’s the devil’s corpse.”
