Episode 1091
4th Corps Commander Tenerife.
She is a corps commander who uses the Ghost Palace and the surrounding area as
her territory, and is commonly referred to as the Ghost Princess.
“I wanted to meet you once, Commander of the Army of Betrayal.”
There really is Tenerife.
Simon looked at Jane with shaking pupils. As I was looking at her with the question of how this happened, Jane opened her mouth.
“It’s earlier than I thought, but here it is. Let me introduce you to Princess Tenerife. Tenerife? “This is student council president Simon Pollentia.”
She greeted me by holding the hem of a transparent dress made of spirits.
Simon also bowed his head.
‘I heard from Lorraine that one day I would visit another corps commander and learn in-depth courses about the corps.’
“The reason Tenerife came this time was not for education.”
As if reading Simon’s mind, Jane said, clasping her hands together.
“I came as a client. “This is an official mission approved by Keygen headquarters.”
“that’s right! “I’m requesting it.”
She put her hand on my chest and laughed. Her voice was unusually buzzy, as if there were loudspeaker crystal balls around her.
Simon raised his head and looked at Tenerife.
“May I ask what kind of mission it is?”
“It’s not that difficult.”
Tenerife adjusted the hat on his head.
“Shedding season has come to the Ghost Palace. “I want you to find someone to replace my job in the meantime.”
“… … ?”
It’s definitely a continental language, but I don’t know why I can’t understand it. As Simone looked at her intently at Tenerife, this time she instead said, ‘Huh?’ And she tilted her head.
“You don’t know anything? “Polentia junior.”
“sorry. “If you had told me in advance, I would have studied.”
She said hahahaha! She laughed.
The voice was obviously good, but the laughter was quite creepy. I become very nervous as if the instincts of a living being are stimulated. The fur on my body rose slightly.
“Okay, then shall I explain briefly?”
The Ghost Palace she rules over is one of the top 10 mysteries on the continent.
Hundreds of years ago, an unidentified incident occurred in the palace of a border
kingdom, and all the people in the palace were massacred.
The kingdom has fallen, and now evil ghosts constantly appear within the palace.
The Empire ruled by knights and the Dark Union ruled by necromancers ruled this territory at one time, but no one was able to identify or solve this phenomenon.
Even now, it is a place that is treated as an ‘impossible problem’ where abnormal
phenomena cannot be controlled. Since it was impossible to get rid of it, anyone had to enter the Ghost Palace and stop the pouring evil ghosts, and that role was played by the Ghost Princess Tenerife and her four legions of undead.
“The palace needs a princess.”
She said assertively.
“Evil ghosts are constantly pouring out of the palace. If the princess does not control the abnormal phenomenon and stop the pouring ghosts, the world may be destroyed. “If the princess is away from her palace even for a few minutes, serious things
will happen.”
“?”
Simon silently raised his hand and pointed to Tenerife. Tenerife laughed oh-ho-ho.
“I didn’t leave the palace. “Actually, this isn’t my body?”
“yes?”
“My real body is in the ghost palace. You can’t rest even for a minute. This body now is a special homunculus, and only my soul has been transferred here! Our Echeverria family has a family secret that contains our souls! Isn’t it amazing? Are you scared? “Are your legs shaking?”
Simon blinked.
“It’s amazing, but I’m not sure it’s that scary. “Anything can happen in the world of necromancers.”
“Wow, really? This is the first time I’ve seen such a calm reaction to bringing up this story! After all, the famous treacherous corps commander!”
Simon laughed bitterly. It might not be known to others, but it wasn’t such a strange phenomenon to Simon.
‘He’s similar to our Prince.’
“Tenerife.”
Jane, who was sitting at that time, spoke in a clear voice.
“Please keep the mission briefing short and to the point.”
“Jane is so cold!”
Tenerife grunted.
“You turned down my offer to take you to the new cafe in Rochester that kids love
these days!”
“Have you tried going to Professor Jean Arskalt first?”
“Jin, ignore me too! “I sent you a letter a few weeks ago saying you were coming to
Loch Island, but you said you were busy and didn’t show your face!”
“I’m sorry. “I always finish work at dawn, so if you stay until then, I’ll go with you.”
“That’s too much!”
Tenerife laughed and looked at Simon.
“How much did I talk about?”
“You said that Tenerife’s real body is in the Ghost Palace, and that the one who is
here now is a homunculus with a soul.”
“Good memory! Anyway, so shedding season is here. What that means is, I take my
body out of the ghost palace, heal it for a while, eat food, rest, and exercise. At that
time, even for a moment, I put my soul into the body. I need that kind of time. “After all, the body and soul are a pair.”

She tapped my shoulder as if I had stiff shoulders.
“But what’s wrong? Maybe the food the servants are feeding me is wrong, but I think I’m sick. “You have to get out of the ghost palace and recuperate for as long as 1 week, or as long as 2 weeks.”
“I understand. Then, there will be no princess in the ghost palace during that time,
and a ‘princess stand-in’ will be needed to hold up during that time.”
“Aaaah! So smart! Is your junior studying well? I’m sure you’ll do well! ah! Since
I’m the student council president, I’m sure I’ll study well! Jane! “You did a great job raising your students!”
“I understand the situation.”
Simon pointed to himself.
“I’m not confident in that necromancy. I wasn’t naturally good at generating spirits, and I gave up on necromantics from the second semester of my first year. How could I carry out such an important mission… … .”
“no no. “I have no intention of entrusting the princess’s duties to my junior Pollentia.”
She shook her head.
“She is also an active-duty corps commander who is equal to me, so it’s a bit hard
to call her a princess… … ? Out under several conditions.”
“Then what I have to do is find a new queen replacement.”
“that’s right! Are you saying that only the continent’s top elites gather here at Keygen? Actually, I don’t have any children? There is no successor. If this big hit ends successfully-”
Her eyes sparkled.
“Should I make him the successor to the commander of the 4th Corps? “Actually, it’s almost time for me to retire.”
Simon’s heart sank.
What’s up to the next corps commander?
This was a huge issue.
* * *
“so.”
Dick lay down on the sofa in the student council room and tapped the table with an empty quill.
“Are we going to choose the next Ghost Princess candidate with our own hands?”
“That’s the way it is.”
Oooh!
The student council room became noisy. Meirin, Dick, and Kamivarez, as well as the mercenary king Arthur and first-year student Chiella, were here and listening to
the story.
“Three next-generation corps commanders are coming out of Keygen! “It’s so amazing!”
Camivarez flapped his wings.
“But the princess hasn’t said that she will definitely make you the successor yet, right?”
Maylin spoke in a clear voice.
“It’s just a big deal for the princess. Even if we move up the list and are selected as
real candidates, we will have to prove our skills at the Ghost Palace.”
“Still, it’s true that it’s tempting.”
Chiella answered, placing her hand on her chin.
“It is about inheriting the 4th Corps, which is called the Ghost Corps. Of course, you will also have a ghost palace and a nearby city. Even the honorable duty of protecting the continent from ghosts. He will become one of the most powerful people on the continent.”
At that time, Arthur raised his hand.
“I wonder if there are any conditions or something! Seniors!”
“Oh, there were a few conditions.”
At Simon’s words, everyone lifted their hips halfway and their eyes lit up with anticipation. Simon opened his mouth.
“First of all, not a man.”
ahDick and Arthur, who had been eliminated as candidates, sat on the sofa with depressed expressions. Dick muttered, his lips sticking out in an evil tone.
“How can this be? Those conditions are unfair! “It’s discrimination!”
“It’s really pathetic. “Senior Dick.”
Chiella said, crossing her arms with a triumphant expression.
“Isn’t there a reason why only women can do this? Of course, even if there is no reason, this is entirely the princess’s authority.”
“And the second condition is that Professor Jane is-”
Simon grinned.
“Not in first grade.”
“This is discrimination!”
When Chiella screamed, the surroundings instantly burst into laughter. Her belated
embarrassment must have been overwhelming her, and she said, ‘No,’ and put her
knees together and lowered her head.
Simon explained why.
“First-year students are too young to carry out a mission that will determine the fate of the continent. “If you are away for two weeks, it can be fatal to your survival on campus.”
“It’s obvious.”
Dick laughed cheerfully.
“First year students don’t even have a major to begin with, right? “How can these kids, who are at most aspiring majors, work for the Ghost Corps?”
Chiella was furious.
“This is unpleasant! Talk like a frog you don’t remember from your days as a tadpole! “Didn’t senior Dick have a time when he was a first year student too?”
“Oh! Was it like that? “I don’t remember sharing.”
“Stop teasing your junior.”
While Maylin was slapping Dick on the back, Arthur looked around.
“Then, the only ones who can join the student council are Senior Meirin and Senior Kamivarez.”
“I pass.”
Meilin snorted and crossed her arms.
“I have a clear goal of becoming an ivory tower owner. “I’m not going to the ghost
palace.”
“Me too… … .”
Camivarez’s bat wings drooped.
“… … “I think my dad would be against it if I told him I wanted to go to the Ghost
Palace.”
When Simone heard those words, she thought of her father, Dietrich Horn Ursula.
Dietrich, an extremely ill-mannered person, wants Camivarez to lead his vampire clan someday. Even if Cami Varez secretly goes to the Ghost Palace, he will take Cami Varez out, even if it means leading the vampires to wage war against the Four Legions of Tenerife. He is a man who will survive even after that.
“And the last condition is that you can feel the spirit. Must have taken a commandeering class for more than a year. It’s like this. Preference is given to students majoring in the command department.”
“It’s really awesome.”
“Who will it be?”
All the student council members were talking loudly.
“Then, I will create printed materials such as flyers and booklets using what I just said.”
Meilin said while looking at the contents she wrote in her notebook.
“You can just post it on the department bulletin board and throughout the building.”
“Yes, please take care of me.”
“By the way, Simon.”
Meilin looked at Simon.
“Other than the qualifications, is there any more details about the Ghost Princess?
“What you have to do when you become a ghost princess, what you can’t do, things
like the work environment and restrictions.”
“That part… … .”
Simon was about to say something, but then sighed softly.
“He said he would personally explain once he calls all the candidates together.”
“really? “Princess, where are you now?”
* * *
Student city Rochester.
“Aaaah! “It’s so delicious!”
While students were still at school, there was a rumor going around about a woman who was wandering around with ghosts in broad daylight, consuming all the desserts made today.
It was true.
The owner and part-time worker of the cafe in Rochester were looking at the woman who was wiping out all the desserts in the store with a shocked look on her face.
And another corps commander who was with him held his forehead and got irritated.
“Eat in moderation.”
It was Jean Arskalt, commander of the 2nd Corps.
“Do you want to eat too?”
“… … “I will decline.”
Phew.
She let out a long breath and clasped her hands.
“I wish we could continue talking, but why are you choosing a princess candidate
now?”
“… … .”
Tenerife covered it up with a slight laugh and then frantically threw the dessert into her mouth.
