Episode 1076
When Simon met with Benya Vanilla to build the Behemoth battleship, Benya also
briefly told him about Manus.
Simon had sent a request to Benya to restore Manus and the broken Chaos Dullahan.
As a result, the restoration of Chaos Dullahan was completed to some extent, but the stage of controlling it by placing the skull of former Sword Master Manus on it failed. Manus, who gained a physical body, became even more violent than usual, and Dullahan’s body, which could not bear it, was completely destroyed.
Next, we prepared several bodies that Manus could move, but none of them could
withstand Manus’ rampage. This was the reason why Simon continued to use only the Death Knight for a while and had to handle the Dragonian suit himself.
-Manus’ condition is getting more and more serious, gentlemen. But do you know
what the strangest thing is?
-What’s strange?
-huh. A new consciousness is about to bloom from the runaway and angry thoughts of Manus.
The current Manus was a shell of his original thoughts, with only his fighting spirit
for the strong and his obsession with the sword remaining.
However, a new ‘reason’ is trying to take root in the thoughts of Manus.
-It’s really strange, though! For example, it feels like a new ancient undead is being born again in the body of an ancient whose thoughts have disappeared! Do you understand what I mean?
-… … Now, I don’t really understand. Is that possible?
-It’s impossible.
Benya, who was explaining, held his head with a complicated expression.
-Actually, this is just my guess. Because it is a phenomenon that has never been observed in this world. However, if my guess is correct, Manus’ current excitement and outburst may be symptoms of a transitional period before he someday becomes a
different being.
-Then is the newly born Manus the same as the previous Manus?
She shook her head coolly.
-Completely different. It’s not Manus, it’s something else.
Simon then asked for advice from Alazeh, who was building the Behemoth battleship together with Benya. He thought he might know better since he was a fellow Ancient Undead.
-Nothing is impossible with the undead. An example of a brute. Different beings of opposite s*xes in one body.
However, Alaze also said that the Manus of the past and the Manus of today will be
different.
Thinking back to the conversation he had with Benya and Alase, Simon slowly opened his eyes.
“… … .”
The ceiling of Mahihala’s village hall is visible. Before I knew it, I could hear peaceful birdsong outside.
‘It’s already morning. ‘I don’t even know how yesterday went by.’
Simon got up from the booth sofa. He was sleeping on the sofa because there was
limited space on the floor. Rumbling sounds echoed from all over the place.
Sweet.
At that moment, the back door opened, revealing Meilin wiping her wet hair with
a towel. She found her Simon and said hello.
“good morning!”
“Good morning, Maylin. Have you already washed up? “You’re diligent.”
Simon adjusted his posture and moved out of the way, and Meilin sat down next to
Simon, stroking her wet hair.
Moist light blue hair was flowing beautifully.
“I didn’t get much sleep.”
Meilin said grumpily. Simone, who guessed what had happened, smiled bitterly.
“The manager’s snoring was loud.”
“That too.”
She looked out the window.
“This town, for some reason, I keep feeling uneasy.”
Simon, who heard those words, spoke in a hushed voice.
“It’s probably because of the thought that it has something to do with the 1st Corps. “Don’t worry too much about your mission, and just focus on your job as a reporter for the time being to avoid being suspected.”
“huh!”
Thump thump thump!
At that moment, a loud knocking sound was heard. Mei-Lin let out a ‘sigh!’ as she
slapped Simone’s forearm, then let out another short scream and fell back behind her. Simone burst into laughter and she grumbled quietly as her face blushed.
Soon, village residents who guided them appeared through the open door.
“Now, wake up! everyone!”
“The village routine has begun!”
* * *
Reporters had to film daily life in Mahihala Village, and tourists all decided to participate in the experience.
First thing in the morning was to help harvest tomatoes. We went to the tomato field together with the villagers.
“wide!”
Most of the land in the village was a tomato field. I don’t know which seeds were crossed to improve the variety, but all of the tomatoes were strong and plump.
The tourists eagerly harvested tomatoes without saying anything. All you had to do
was carefully pick the ripe ones, check if there were any damaged or bug-eaten parts on the outside, then place them in the cart, and when the cart was full, push them to the side.
“Look at this.”
Meilin laughed as she touched the tomato she had picked to her face.
“Are the tomatoes really big?”
“I see. “He deserves to be famous.”
“Reporter Lin!”

A senior female reporter holding a magic shooting device shouted, waving her arms around.
“Hold that tomato and pose while looking this way!”
“yes!”
Meilin slightly lifted the straw hat on her head, pretended to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and held up a tomato with her other hand as if to emphasize it.
There was a click and the sound of the magic shooting device operating.
Soon, the senior reporter who confirmed it let out a loud voice, ‘Oh!’
“It came out so well! Oh my goodness! “I wouldn’t mind putting it on the front page of an article!”
“Show me too!”
Meilin was excited and ran like a child. Soon after seeing her results, she clapped
her hands together and Simon also smiled at her pure liking.
Afterwards, Maylin’s activities continued.
“mister! “I’ll leave the pulley here!”
“I’m glad the young lady is so kind!”
Meilin immediately won the love of the village residents with her lively personality.
Wherever she went, she was noticed.
Meilin’s meticulousness also stood out during the post-harvest sorting process.
“This is a completely different breed, scholar. “Please put it in the basket over there.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“There’s a guy wearing a scarf and a guy in blue next to him! “Please move this!”
The leadership skills he had honed as Vice Chairman of Keygen were not going anywhere. He naturally led people, did his work accurately and according to the rules,
and was kind and polite to everyone.
The residents politely called Meilin “journalist” and “journalist,” and showed her around various parts of the village.
“Here, we have collected tomatoes that have a bumpy exterior or damaged skin. “You make the juice the traditional way by stomping on the tomatoes and crushing them.”
“It’s like winemaking!”
“Would you like to try it?”
Meirin changed into the dress prepared by the village and went inside barefoot. Soon, she lifted the hem of her skirt and crushed a tomato, showing innocent joy. She
also smiled and welcomed the village women who had entered before her.
“here! Look here! Reporter Lin! Very good! Next time, do the calyx! yes!”
The senior reporter was completely captivated by Meilin’s appearance. I came to photograph the tomato festival, but it almost felt like a photo shoot for Meilin.
The manager could not help but say something.
“I will use all the magic power of the camera! How long are you going to keep filming only reporter Lin? We are a media company! “We have a duty to deliver accurate facts and information to people!”
“but-“
The woman lowered her magic shooting device and looked at the manager.
“If a great model is featured in an article, it will definitely grab people’s attention.
What we need now is an issue, right? Because issues make money.”
“Keuhum!”
The manager also could not refute that point. No matter how good an article is, it
has to be read by people. As the reporter said, it was useful to have a photo that really caught the eye.
“It’s great! The pose and gaze are so perfect! “What did you do before becoming a journalist?”
He is a necromancer.
However, I thought that Meilin’s experience as a theater actor may have helped her to be so familiar with filming.
“Reporter Emon! This time, Reporter Emon will take pictures of the festival with Reporter Lin in the background! “I will take pictures of the warehouse next door with
the manager.”
“yes.”
Simon also took a picture of Meilin with a magical photography tool. She is seen stepping on tomatoes in the basket while chatting with the villagers. Tomatoes splattered all over my cheeks and body, but even that looked natural.
I pressed the button at the perfect time and checked the magic camera, but the people around me were moving around, leaving afterimages here and there, making the picture look messy.
‘Are magic shooting tools cheap?’
Simon scratches the side of his head and lifts the camera again.
“Are you taking pictures of me?”
Meilin found Simon and approached him with shining eyes. Simone nodded her head.
“that’s right. But it’s not easy to capture movement with a camera.”
“okay? Then I’ll stop and pose. What concept would you like to use?”
“… … Well, then please feel bright and happy.”
After hearing those words, Meilin gently lifted a tomato off the wall of the basket with her fingertip and placed it on her cheek. Soon she was in front of Simon, making a V sign and slightly sticking out her tongue, saying ‘hehe’ and laughing like a bad boy.
Filming was very easy because Maylin took care of everything. Simon was impressed as he pressed the button without realizing it.
‘You can easily do any pose.’
“Do you want to take pictures with a different concept?”
“Well, then please be a little more serious this time.”
Meilin walked to the side, placed both hands on the end of the basket, lightly lowered her eyelids, and looked into the distance like a person with a story to tell. Simon was impressed and pressed his switch.
beautiful.
I had that thought without realizing it. Her appearance was captured with a magical photography sphere, and the moment Simon raised her head, he saw Meilin standing against the blue sky.
The real thing was much better. It occurred to me that these magical artifacts of hers could not contain even half of who she was.
“… … it’s over?”
Simon smiled and gave a thumbs up in response to Meilin’s belatedly embarrassed
question.
“Yes, it’s perfect.”
* * *
So the day ended and evening came.
I had enough dinner today too. It was a bit odd that most of the dishes were made
with tomatoes, but the tomatoes were so delicious that I never got tired of them.
however.
“Are you kidding me?”
A loud noise echoed from behind.
Simon, wondering what was going on, turned his head and saw one of the group
members, a cook, with a frown on his face, arguing with the residents.
“It tastes different from what you get on the market! They’re all different! They feed us something like this, but send something different to the tomato sauce distributed to nobles! “I’m not doing this on purpose!”
“Please calm down. They are all the same tomatoes… … .”
“You can fool the world, but you can’t fool my tongue!”
The chef was getting angry and arguing. His cheeks were slightly red, indicating that he was drunk.
And the drunkard in the group, who had already been drunk for a while, giggled and said.
“Why take out your anger on a strict person for not being able to figure out the secret!”
The voice was too loud.
All the villagers looked in the direction of the drunkard.
“What do you mean?”
“That man is a chef who owns a restaurant in Langerstine! I’m a thief who came to
find out the secret to the taste of your tomatoes! ha ha ha!”
The humanities scholar quickly approached and covered the drunkard’s mouth. But the drunkard still giggled and spoke louder.
“You thief! Puhahahaha!”
In the end, a humanist and a mercenary took the drunkard to the village hall, and
a newlywed couple took the angry cook to the hall.
Meilin quickly bowed her head and apologized.
“sorry. “Because our group made a fuss.”
“it’s okay!”
The villager said with a kind smile.
“I think the chef is misunderstanding something. “There’s no secret, it’s just the same as usual.”
“The ones you eat in the market may have aged a bit during transportation and changed their taste.”
The villagers laughed it off and talked about it as if it was no big deal. Simon and
Maylin also sighed in relief.
and.
“… … .”
The next morning the cook disappeared from town.
