I Became The Academy Necromancer

98. stellar

As the morning sun rises, people gather around the bonfire burning in front of the carriage.

It seems that they came from a nearby village to check on the situation because there was a lot of commotion, but the abbess approaches them one step ahead.

Maybe it was because it was the closest village to the convent, so their friendship seemed extraordinary. In particular, those who often went to heal the sick or thanked them for sharing the gospel were very kind to the nuns.

On the contrary, the villagers said they had come back well and returned with a pile of food to repay the favor.

Suddenly, a small breakfast buffet was set up here, a little far from the village.

Enjoy the morning with the rising sun. To be honest, I didn’t want to lift a finger because I was exhausted, and because I was injured because I was swept away by the divine power, I sat leaning against the carriage.

“what. Aren’t you eating?”

Finden Ai, who had a pile of food on his plate, glanced at me as he passed by and asked me.

I didn’t bother answering, so I chinned him to go away, but he put a fork in his mouth and settled down next to me.

“… … good.”

“What did you say. It’s because there’s no place to sit.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to get into the carriage?”

“Illuania is eating.”

Finden Ai started to fork next to me, telling an insincere lie about caring for pregnant women.

As if the villagers had caught chickens early in the morning, chicken and eggs were the main menu, and a plate was piled with plenty of food with salad and fruits.

But looking at it, the appetite didn’t turn.

Rather, the saliva in my mouth was dry and my tongue was sticky, so I didn’t even want to smell the food.

I wondered why he was here, but then he was offered milk with a straw stuck in it.

“drink. You might want to drink something because you bleed earlier.”

“… … .”

“Even if the nuns healed you, it’s basic to eat and get nutrients, right?”

Finden Ai is pouring out milk without looking at me. Even though I wanted to do this all of a sudden, I wanted to quench my thirst, so I took the cup.

My hands are shaking and I see that the milk is almost overflowing, and I snatch it right away.

“Eh, it’s a typical phenomenon that happens when wizards use too much mana. Okay, so open your mouth.”

“… … Just go.”

“Uh huh.”

I said no, but the straw pushed through my lips and stung my throat. Surprised, he gasped, and milk naturally poured into his mouth through a straw.

I felt like I was going to live by suffocating my throat. Because it was fresh milk, it tasted good and came in quickly.

It was humiliating to be treated like this by Finden-Ai, but the flow of milk was more satisfying than I thought.

After drinking all of the milk, he took a deep breath.

The savory aroma of chicken that fills your mouth. When I shut my mouth in surprise, Finden Ai grabs my chin with a sad expression and forcibly opens it.

“Anyway. I’m skinny and I won’t eat it.”

“… … !”

“Stay still. It’s like torturing me for nothing. Where is this maid? The owner is weak, so he is forced to gain weight.”

“Oops! Do it in moderation.”

“Ah, yes.”

Even as he spoke, Finden Eye’s fork did not rest. I grabbed Finden-Ai’s wrist to tell him to stop, but I couldn’t resist because I didn’t have enough strength.

Eventually, after feeding me all the food on the plate, Finden-Ai left with a sneer of strange satisfaction.

That smile that said he had won felt like the greatest disgrace to me, so I wanted to vomit everything inside.

[It would be great.]

then a voice from behind. When I turned my head slightly, I saw a dark mage with only his head pulled out through the carriage.

“Don’t go around like that.”

I said something because it looked like my face was stuck in the carriage for no reason.

[You know it was very dangerous this time, right?]

At those words, I laughed involuntarily.

“When has it not been dangerous?”

Come to think of it, I have always risked my life to fight. I always had a clear direction for victory, but that doesn’t guarantee unconditional victory.

[That’s true… … .]

The lower eyes were covered with a black cloth, so I couldn’t see his expression, but the eyes that could be seen were filled with worry.

I catch my breath and continue talking. I couldn’t make her, my helper, feel insecure.

“do not worry. This is just one experience to see the end of necromancy.”

Especially this time, it showed her a new direction by dealing with the devil’s soul.

I wondered if I would be satisfied with this much, but the dark mage was still looking at me with dissatisfied eyes.

[That was definitely great. That’s not why I’m angry right now.]

“There can be no rapid growth without a crisis.”

[…] … You’re pretty smart, if you ask me. I pretend to be stupid sometimes.]

“… … .”

[I really hate that.]

The Dark Spirit pouting and kicking me for no reason. Of course, since she was a spirit, her kicks only passed through me.

[What is the saintess going to do?]

“I know what to do.”

I see Stella looking up at the sun alone in the distance.

Seeing her eyes closed and her hands together, she seemed to be giving thanks to those who saved her and praying to Goddess Hestia.

[That, is my position guaranteed?]

“… … .”

[No, that’s it. Um, because the two of them had a good atmosphere, right?]

Taking a deep breath, I wave my hands, which are starting to regain some strength.

[And there is no separate connection with me. That, that saintess is connected with necromancer.]

“If you’re going to say something useless, go away.”

[No, as a teacher, can’t you worry about this?]

“I never thought of myself as a teacher.”

[Bye!]

The dark mage sticks out his tongue and wants to go. I can’t even see my tongue because of the cloth anyway, but my personality is funny anyway.

She was a wise and knowledgeable woman when it came to necromancy, but because she had been locked up in her laboratory for half her life, she had little interaction with people, so she often showed an immature appearance.

There were times when I wondered if I was just a kid when my body was just big.

‘It’s the exact opposite of Aria.’

It’s a different feeling from her, who’s matured yet half-broken because she went through all the prenatal trials while still a child.

Suddenly, I was slightly worried about what Arya was doing now, but my thoughts didn’t connect.

Because Stella, who had finished her prayer, cautiously approached me.

Her hair, which had been blonde in color, had turned half-white to a pale light.

It seemed to represent her hardships so far.

Her two eyes, which had a subtle blue-green light, were staring at me.

It was a woman who seemed to be painted on canvas.

Seeing her with her back to the sunlight through the backlight, it was a part where I could understand why the saintess was called the sun of the kingdom.

“Did you say hello?”

[…] … How did you know?]

Stella bowed her head as if embarrassed by my words. She has now said goodbye to God.

[The devil dwelled in my body, and I agreed with Velika. There are still remnants of her in my body.]

Is it because they have lived in the same body for a long time? It was as if Stella and Velika’s souls had merged.

It was the first time the Dark Spirit had ever seen this, so it was very interesting.

Although, Velika doesn’t know if she’s still safe because her divine power works more fatally.

“… … .”

[Even Goddess Hertia wouldn’t want to accept me like this.]

“is it.”

[Thank you so far, and I was able to shake it off cleanly because I also did my part.]

I nodded and listened to her. The strength was gradually circulating in his body, but he was not yet ready to wake up.

Noticing that, Stella carefully sat down next to me. put your head on my shoulder

I can’t feel the touch or the warmth, but at the same time as she moves, the wind tickles my nose and passes by.

[Because no one can see me. You can do something drastic like this.]

A soft, warm laugh was heard. It was similar to what I heard when we first met on the rooftop.

“Do you have no regrets anymore?”

[Yes, that what I’ve been doing up until now wasn’t wrong. Because many people have told me.]

Even after hours of tearful thanks to them before praying to God, Stella still seemed to be moved.

[So what am I doing now? Necromancer.]

Stella looks at me with her head on my shoulder. If he was alive, his inhalation would have touched his cheek.

I answered her firmly.

“I should go to sleep.”

[…] … .]

“The reason I possess you is to treat you as a spirit and not to use it as magic. It was just to be a shelter where you could rest.”

[is that so.]

It was Stella who seemed to be regretting it, but I still had no intention of backing down.

she is so tired

It was hard enough to make the extreme choice of extinction.

Now I just need to close my eyes and rest.

[Then this is the last sky I see before falling asleep.]

“Yes, I guess.”

From now on, Stella will sleep inside me. You will fall into a very deep sleep that neither gods nor demons can disturb.

[Um, that’s a bit unfortunate. I wanted to have more conversations with you.]

Even so, she did not greatly reject her rest. Because she knew she was tired too.

[Can you tell me something?]

Stella asked, still leaning on me and crossing her arms.

“story?”

[You read a fairy tale to your child before going to bed. I also want to fall asleep while listening to stories about you.]

“I have already told you everything that can be said about me.”

[It was.]

Stella smiled and asked as I clung to her a little more.

[Then what do you think about me? We seem to have shared a short but intense experience.]

At Stella’s question, I fell silent for a moment.

The sun that had just risen was too bright to capture in my eyes, so I slowly lowered my gaze.

“I have never been in love.”

And honestly, I told her how I felt.

“But, I have experienced it.”

Because I indirectly felt the feeling that the original Deus liked Illuania.

“It was undeniable that it was a truly cozy and warm feeling. Also, I thought maybe I would have a hard time having those feelings.”

Arya said that I connected with Erica in the first playthrough, but I still doubted whether I really loved her.

continue to speak

Not to convey something to Stella.

It just felt like Stella was secretly eavesdropping on my honest monologue.

“But, if I harbor those feelings for someone.”

I look at Stella slowly.

I will always be with me, but now I calmly said goodbye to her who was about to break up.

“Perhaps it is someone like you.”

Momentary silence.

As I stare at Stella’s flushed face, she opens her mouth like a crucian carp and then takes a deep breath.

Even though he no longer needed to breathe, it seemed to be a habit when he was alive.

[You don’t want to put me to sleep? Please do not make regrets.]

I didn’t mean to.

When I replied that I was just expressing my true feelings, Stella hesitated before opening her mouth.

[You and I are opposites.]

“… … .”

[You don’t know much about love, but I know the feeling of love very well. I loved everyone I met.]

Indeed, that’s why.

Because such a heart was truly sincere, so many souls must have sacrificed for this woman.

[Is that why? I don’t want to label my feelings for you as love.]

“… … .”

[Because it’s not the same feeling I had for other people. So I wouldn’t call this love.]

I feel the warmth.

I felt the remaining mana in her soul gently envelop me.

[But I don’t have the talent to give something grandiose.]

Stella’s voice, which has slowly started to fade, gradually begins to fade.

[The sun on the continent has set. Lucia will take good care of my next one.]

“Yes, I guess.”

Like a child slowly falling asleep.

[Help the child well. When the sun is resting, you become the moon and protect this continent.]

“I will try.”

[hehehe, I’ll be watching you if you’re working hard.]

slowly.

very slowly

[I thought I would never see the moon again as I lost my eyes.]

Stella’s hand wraps around my waist and she becomes the light and enters me.

[See you again, my moon.]

Stella, who was slowly disappearing, whispered with a final laugh.

[I will become your star, and I will always be with you.]
