Chapter 101 – 101. Pianist Boy
Doo doo doo doo!
Numerous monsters chasing after the carriage.
However, the people around them did not recognize them as beings strong enough to have substance.
Right now, Findenai was humming and happy that she had gotten the first year of the year, and Illuania, who was driving the carriage, didn’t show any particular impatience.
The problem was why they were making such a fuss and running.
[Shall we respond?]
“wait.”
Although it looked very ugly on the outside, it didn’t really feel like a threat.
Because I didn’t even feel like I was living lightly right away. I was curious about their purpose, so I tried to watch for now.
“Wow, that’s loud.”
As Findeneye gets annoyed by picking his ears, he realizes the sound of the piano that he had been missing because of the monsters.
“Wow, is that good?”
In contrast to Findenai, Iluania was so absorbed in playing the piano that she even hummed a song while driving the carriage.
And soon I realized that the monsters that had caught up with the carriage were passing us.
[That wasn’t our purpose?]
“… … All the monsters seem to have the same destination. “Follow them.”
[Nope… … .]
Although the dark spirit grumbles, he follows my instructions and goes out of the carriage and follows the monsters.
The piano music seemed to be coming from the city center, and the closer we got, the louder it got.
“You said it was a city of artists, right? “It’s not a place for me at all.”
Findeneye is irritated and irritated. People say Illuania is good and people criticize me for what I’m saying, but honestly, I agreed with Findenai.
Because I wasn’t that interested in art.
Since ancient times, I have generally disliked arts such as music and art. As I said last time, there were strangely many ghosts involved in that field.
Naturally, I stopped paying attention and became bored.
anyway.
The place we arrived at was an inn with a fairly stately feel.
The sign had ‘Leon’ written in elegant cursive, and although the building itself was quite old, it still remained sturdy.
The foundation construction seemed to be very solid and well done.
“It really is a place that evil spirits would love.”
Being sturdy and old without worrying about it collapsing was the most desirable condition for a home for evil spirits.
In fact, screams were already echoing inside the inn.
“Master. “They say there’s no business here?”
Findenai, still wearing a nun’s attire, knocks on the poster on the inn door.
As I passed her, I grabbed the inn door and pushed it forward.
A door that opens softly.
What was felt inside was not old dust, but the unique scent of a neatly organized inn.
A place where it wouldn’t be strange to open a business right away.
The inn owner’s sincerity was evident in the neat management and the ready operation.
“I wrote down that it was not open for business… … !”
A middle-aged woman who was reading a newspaper while sitting at the counter heard the door opening and jumped up nervously.
But the conversation couldn’t continue. He realized through his long-term business skills and sense that I was not an ordinary customer.
“who are you?”
As she tilts her head awkwardly, I take out a piece of paper from my arms.
“Seripod Philen, is that correct?”
“Yes, yes! “I am Serifod Philen.”
Although he is embarrassed that I know his name, he narrows his eyes and checks to see what the document is.
But this time, on the contrary, the eyes gradually opened wider. She is a species that is quite familiar to her.
There were traces of tears, and the ink remained dark due to how hard I had used it, making the letters blurry.
It was a petition sent by Seripod Philen to the royal family and the church to resolve the strange incident that occurred at his hotel.
“This is Commander Deius Verdi. “I’m here to solve an abnormal phenomenon that occurred at this hotel.”
The moment he heard those words, Seriford covered his mouth and immediately burst into tears.
He didn’t stop there, he immediately fell to his knees and hit his head on the floor.
“Ah, ah! at las! You’ve finally arrived! “Finally!”
A pretty intense welcome.
This was a part that showed how much pain she suffered due to psychic phenomena.
However, she suddenly became frightened and raised her head as if something had occurred to her.
“Well, actually, I called several priests to resolve the situation.”
“… … .”
“Well, I had to donate money for my travel expenses at the time, so I don’t have any money left.”
I’m so anxious that I might take a step back, so I spit out the words.
“I’ll get it ready soon! If you can just get the hotel back to normal, I can start working right away and do whatever it takes… … !”
“Not required.”
“… … yes?”
You may wonder what they are talking about, but this was a reaction that reflected the times.
It was a time when it was natural for the king’s envoys and government officials who came to serve the citizens to take bribes.
A representative example was the fact that it became a kind of culture for the guards guarding the gate to receive kickbacks from merchants.
But I wasn’t acting for that.

Changing the perception of a warlock is, of course, additional, and since I am a necromancer to begin with, it is important to deal with as many evil spirits as possible.
Especially in the fight with Dante, he couldn’t show himself being pushed back by the opposing necromancers.
Of course, even though there is Lemegeton, there are situations where you never know.
“I have no intention of asking for anything financial. “I’m just here to help.”
I slowly turn my head and look at Findeneye.
She was putting her hand on her waist and resting on her other leg, making a disgruntled look on her face as she asked what was the problem.
“While I resolve the situation, Sister, please obtain a list of priests who have been referred to this woman.”
“… … aha?”
Findeneye, who took a moment to understand what I meant, grinned and put his hands together and pretended to pray.
“I guess you want to kill everyone according to God’s will.”
“… … “It is necessary to check the method of receiving it from the woman, whether the donation was used, and the possibility that it was stolen by an individual.”
“I will let you know that the reason we put our hands together is not just to pray.”
Findeneye swings his hands together like a mace. His voice and expression were soft, but his words and actions were the exact opposite.
“Just do your research. “I plan to delegate the work to a saint.”
I don’t ask Findenai that much for no reason. It was enough to apply pressure along with the investigation.
Finden Eye shrugs his shoulders in disappointment.
Seriford was looking up at me blankly, with an expression that said he still didn’t know what was going on.
It didn’t really matter.
“According to what is written in the petition, I understand that people can be heard crying in each room.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Okay, let’s figure it out. “Take the key and follow me.”
I said calmly and headed straight to the guest room.
* * *
It was much easier to exorcise the evil spirits that were staying in Leon.
There was no need to use Remegeton, and there was no need to inflict additional pain because all that was needed was to provide rest to the crying dead.
However, there was one thing that bothered me.
All the ghosts were scared.
Even though it wasn’t a special place, I was afraid to go outside, so I had a strong feeling that I was stuck in this hotel.
‘Is it because of the monsters outside?’
As a reward for solving Leon’s problem, the hostess begged me to use the room as much as I wanted during my stay in the city, so I decided to stay here for now.
Since I didn’t even have to book a separate hotel, I was grateful for the favor.
The smile did not disappear from the face of the excited hostess, who said that she would start business as soon as tomorrow.
When I looked out the window, it was already late at night.
It’s still too early to sleep, so I go for a walk outside.
Findenai went to the church in the city with Illuania, but there was quite a commotion and they still haven’t returned.
Well, you’ll take care of it.
Illuania will cover Findeneye’s tendency to go out of her way well, and Findeneye’s performance as a nun was also quite excellent.
“hmm.”
The city of Claren, a city of artists, was aptly called, and its streets had a variety of charms.
Even the simple flower gardens are decorated quite artistically, and there are large and small paintings drawn on every road you pass.
On dark streets, lanterns are intentionally lit to create a subtle atmosphere.
It was a very satisfying place to walk, but what was important was the sound of music coming from all over the city.
The sound of the piano playing again reminds me of the dark spirit I had forgotten about.
I sent a dark spirit to chase away the monsters, but what happened when they still haven’t come back?
As my thoughts deepened, I began to walk without realizing it, as if guided by the sound of the music.
The music was coming from an old piano placed in the very center of the city, in front of a huge fountain.
In other cities, you might hear noise, but Claren was a little different.
All the tourists who came were sitting on the seats in front of the fountain and watching the musicians play.
Of course, it wasn’t so crowded that the place was crowded.
It’s reasonably spacious, so it’s perfect for brief listening while passing by.
Surprisingly, the outstandingly talented performer was a small boy.
If I had to be specific, I would say that he looks similar in age to Aria. He was playing the piano quite enthusiastically, but his expression was not very bright.
Besides, one more thing stands out.
“hmm.”
A bizarre audience surrounding the boy.
A large crowd of monsters were standing around the boy who was playing.
The performance gradually reached its climax, and the monsters remained silent, so we could just watch.
The boy’s face gradually turns pale.
I was focusing only on the sheet music and the keyboard, and I even felt an obsession to deliberately avoid looking at the other side.
[what? Are you here?]
At that time, a familiar voice was heard from the audience. The dark spirit, who was appreciating the performance, naturally approached me.
“What were you doing?”
[Joe, I was investigating.]
“… … .”
No matter how you look at it, it looks like they were playing, so after looking at it for a moment, the dark spirit quickly changes his stance.
[Look at that rather than that. I think that kid is collecting all the monsters in this city.]
“Yeah, it looks like it.”
[Besides, I’m not sure. I think… … .]
The dark spirit hesitated for a moment and then carefully pointed to my eyes and said.
[That child seems to have eyes similar to yours.]
in short.
“Can you see the dead?”
The dark spirit nodded greatly at my words.
[that’s right.]
I slowly look at the boy.
I was a little interested in the pianist, who was sweating coldly and pounding the keys with a pale face.
fantasy, game, possession,
