Chapter 21 – 21. About the girl who appeared in the lab
“Stop.”
After finishing dinner, I blurted out a few words while looking at the scenery from the rooftop of the Academy.
Deius Verdi remained silent as if he had not heard anything and handed the coffee he had brought to Erica.
“The scenery is nice.”
A famous spot reserved for professors that students who are prohibited from accessing the rooftop cannot see.
The night scenery surrounding Lovern Academy was different and colorful than usual.
It was a sight that Erica Bright also really enjoyed.
“not really.”
I definitely would have continued to like it if Deius hadn’t jumped off the roof yesterday morning.
Thanks to the magic we used while jumping together, Deius was not hurt. Erica’s elbow was slightly chafed as well.
However, internal wounds took root more deeply than external factors.
The suicide attempt of my beloved fiancé was such a shocking and terrifying scene.
Erica chewed the end of the paper cup Deius handed her with her teeth and turned her head to look at him.
“I’m not kidding. stop. There are rumors going around about you. Starting with the students and ending with the professors.”
“hmm.”
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t do difficult things. Why are you patrolling at dawn? don’t “Leave it to the guards.”
At those words, Deius slowly focuses his distant gaze on Erica.
Black hair and sharp nose. Eyes whose thoughts cannot be read and an expression that is cold yet strangely feels warm to me.
Erica, who had no tolerance for face-to-face eye contact, quickly turned her head away in momentary embarrassment.
“It has to be done.”
But the moment she heard his answer, Erica turned her head harshly again and began to argue with him.
“Are you kidding me? It’s been a little over a month now. “The kids will soon be on vacation, and if you build your image like this, even if you become a full professor, your course registration rate may be lower than for other auxiliary courses.”
“Erica, do you think I’m worried about that?”
“… … “I wish I had worried.”
In the end, Erica spits out the words she promised herself never to say.
“You’re going to die!”
“… … .”
Deius slowly looks at her. The cold air brushes against the bridge of her nose, stinging the corners of her red eyes.
“I don’t even know what you’re doing that for! I don’t know why I fight with something strange every morning! But, you die!”
“… … .”
Erica rolls up her sleeves and shows the band attached to her elbow. She had saved him yesterday.
“Look at this. I got hurt while saving you. Look at this! yesterday! you! On this rooftop! “I fell to my own death!”
“… … “Yes, I did.”
Deius gently caresses his wrist. Numerous stab wounds visible beyond the collar.
“But Erica, that’s not a problem with the Academy.”
“… … what?”
“It is true that I am suppressing something in the Academy, but they are not the ones trying to kill me.”
I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about. It was just because Erica thought Deius was being unreasonable.
“stop. “Unless you plan to make her fiancee a widow.”
“… … .”
“It’s either that or it’s over. “I can no longer be with a man who wants to die.”
In fact, because the families were intertwined, it was not possible for Erica to end it as she wanted to.
Actually a bluff.
But even if it was like this, Erica wanted to stop him.
Deius’ mouth is tightly closed.
Erica was only looking at his lips with a nervous heart.
It feels like time is passing slowly.
please.
Please, please.
choose me
“—–.”
“… … !”
The mouth opens and an answer is heard, but the voice spreads and is not heard properly, as if babbling underwater.
at that time.
What did he answer?
“Huh!”
Erica suddenly wakes up and looks around. A stretched out bed with a pungent smell of pharmaceuticals.
Students lying on top of it and feeling anxious.
It was Professor Keren’s nurse’s office.
“Huh oh oh oh oh!”
The shirt I am wearing is damp from cold sweat. Erica got up, ignoring the uncomfortable feeling that was clinging to her body, and gathered herself together.
I had an unwanted dream.
Although my memories with him were precious, it was like an album I didn’t want to see.
It felt like my memories were being forced apart.
“You’re awake.”
Gideon Geronia, who was sitting in a corner of the infirmary, spots Erica and jumps up and approaches her.
He tried to reach out for Erica’s tangled blonde hair, but Erica slapped him away.

“Don’t touch it.”
“… … Ha, it’s already been a month since we decided to date, but isn’t it a bit much to not let us even hold hands?”
Gideon shrugs his shoulders and smiles mischievously. But Erica answered with gritted teeth.
“That was the condition. “Instead of becoming lovers, we decided not to have any contact whatsoever.”
“Huh, I thought so. “I’m jealous of you because you’re a nicer woman than I thought.”
Seeing Professor Gideon wagging his tongue, Erica gets irritated and passes by him.
Gideon laughs and stabs her.
“I was honestly curious as to why we needed a list of people buried in the cemetery that existed before the Academy?”
Stand tall.
Erica stops and glares at him.
“But now that this has happened, I finally understand. “Is it because of the evil spirits wandering around the academy?”
The landowner who owned the land of Lovern Academy, which was a cemetery.
Geronia family.
Therefore, Erica requested extremely old documents and related information, and Gideon used that as an excuse to have a romantic relationship with Erica.
To be honest, Erica doesn’t know why he wants her.
He didn’t explain, just smirked.
“So, did you find the evil spirit you were looking for?”
The evil spirit that Erica wants.
That was the guy who possessed Professor Deius.
A being who radiated a strangely deep murderous intent towards Deius.
“I found a clue.”
With those words, Erica left the nurse’s office. Yes, it looks vague.
I showed my face the most.
It was so threatening that it killed the necromancer in one blow.
First appeared in Deius’ laboratory.
‘A girl with black hair.’
Erica was thinking that perhaps she was the evil spirit that had possessed Deius.
‘At least I have to catch that evil spirit before Deius returns.’
After discovering it, either call a priest or learn necromancy yourself.
Erica was going to fight her.
“Hey, over there! Professor Erica!”
At that time, a pink-haired professor was sticking his head out from the corner at the end of the hallway.
It was Per Petra, an instructor specializing in body magic who came on behalf of Deius.
She glances around, then carefully approaches Erica and whispers.
“Hey, over there. Me. “We are conducting research on the regeneration of amputated bodies.”
I adjust my glasses and turn my gaze to the floor. A typical example of a timid, introverted person.
Erica thought it was great research, but she didn’t have time to listen to it.
“Sorry, I’m a little busy right now.”
She passed by Per, but Professor Per let out a squeak and shouted into Erica’s back.
“But yo! While conducting clinical experiments on regeneration, I discovered the magic of restoring damaged objects! “Of course, it’s only a little bit.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
Erica, thinking that there is a reason why Professor Per is saying this, stops walking.
Fer declares, taking a breath and clenching his fists.
“The other day! “I think I can restore the notes left by my predecessor, Professor Deius!”
“… … !”
“Well, of course! Not everything is possible, only a little bit is possible… … .”
“right now!”
Erica grabbed Per’s thin wrist and pulled her.
“Let’s go now!”
Remnants of it still remain in Professor Deius’ room. Because he didn’t even think about messing with it.
“Ugh! Joe, slow down a little!”
“I don’t have time for that.”
Deius’ room, where he arrived with Fer. It’s still a dark, desolate, and featureless place.
And the remnants of the burned note left on the floor.
“Okay, then I’ll give it a try.”
Professor Per, who knelt in front of him, took out a piece of chalk from his case and began drawing a magic circle on the floor.
‘Obviously the first chapter was about a black-haired girl.’
If the first chapter is restored, we will be able to know Deius’ opinion about her, and the possibility increases even more.
I clenched my fists trying to calm my pounding heart.
“Si, let’s begin.”
Fer, who has finished drawing the magic circle, slowly begins to inject mana. It was truly an amazing formula and use of mana.
It was at this point that I realized that Per Petra was not called an unrivaled genius in related fields for no reason.
Compared to such vast formulas and mana, the result is a pitifully small note.
Per lies down in a state of exhaustion as he sees the scorched, palm-sized note.
“S-sorry! “I never thought it would be this much!”
But Per’s voice could no longer be heard in Erica’s ears.
[One. [About the girl who appeared in the lab]
Because he restored exactly what he wanted.
“Well done, Professor Per!”
“later!?”
Erica hurriedly picked up the note, leaving Per embarrassed.
And I read the note right away, wondering if the girl would appear again.
“… … uh?”
Erica couldn’t help but make a sound as she looked at Deius’ words written there.
“What the hell…” … what.”
What on earth does this mean?
No, something is strange.
Erica felt like her head was becoming a jumbled mess.
I thought that if I saw this, I would feel like a thread is unraveling. Rather, it starts to get more twisted.
It made me wonder if this note was actually a prank by an evil spirit.
Deius’ elegant cursive was so resolutely forcing Erica to accept the unreasonable truth.
[The girl is not a dead person.]
