Chapter 43 – 43. A distorted happy ending
“ah.”
Suddenly, Aria spits out a word. That short but powerful sighing voice contained many emotions.
“Have most souls not entered into rest?”
Aria asked, biting her lip because she already knew she had been caught, and I nodded calmly.
“okay.”
I needed to keep my answer short.
Now I am questioning her and reprimanding her.
I needed to gauge how much Aria, who had already entered the second round, knew about me.
“I wasn’t caught by people, but I was caught by the dead.”
Aria’s mistake was not recognizing that they were looking at her because she could not see them.
“If you think about it, it’s natural. “I guess I was too excited to see the professor.”
Aria, who is honest and admits that she was foolish, smiles. I approach her, summon blue mana into her hand, and sweep over it.
[Kyaaa!]
[Deiusuuuuu!]
“You talk a lot about random things.”
The evil spirits run away to the main academy building at the touch of my hand. I had a hard time carrying on a conversation because my ears hurt, so I kicked him out.
“Hehe, as expected, the professor is always the same.”
“… … .”
Aria looks up at me, her eyes hazy, as if in ecstasy. She felt uncomfortable under those gazes, but she endured it for now and asked.
“Why did you reawaken the spirits of the academy? “Did you use the spirit stone?”
“and! You already know about the Spirit Stone, right? Actually, the correct name is Lemegeton.”
Aria took out a small black jewel from her arms.
Remegeton, a unique item that has been seen several times in the game.
It was one of the gold items that made the Kingdom of Griffin tremble with black magic, and was a dangerous item whose existence was unknown to anyone other than high-ranking nobles or royal families.
“High-ranking people may be trembling and scared, but it wasn’t that scary from the beginning. “It’s a stone given to a child who summoned a demon to say she wanted to see her dead mother.”
Aria smiled and grabbed my wrist. It was so fast that I couldn’t even react.
“Here you go.”
And Aria carefully placed the item on my palm.
“Originally, I was just waiting to see when I could give it to you, but if you already figured it out, I can give it to you without any hesitation.”
“Are you saying you’re giving this to me?”
“Yes, if you use Lemegeton, you will become several times stronger than you are now.”
“… … .”
It was heavy, so the energy I could feel in my palm was unusual.
It is not an ability increase effect or additional effect that is simply seen numerically in the game.
There was a strange energy that could only be felt.
“There are so many things I want to give you besides this, but I will get them gradually! “There are many things that will surprise you when you see them.”
Seeing Aria laughing and having fun, I frown and ask.
“Let me change the story. “Why did you terrorize the academy?”
“Oh, right! That’s the same reason I gave Lemegeton. “I hope you become much stronger than you are now.”
“… … .”
The life in the girl’s black eyes gradually begins to fade. Just as a machine that has lost its owner continues to execute only the actions that have already been entered.
A kind of madness could be seen in her eyes and the words pouring out of her.
“The basic necromantic magic book I got you was delivered well, right? Actually, it was quite difficult to get it.”
“… … .”
“I secretly stole it from the house of a very great necromancer and gave it to the professor.”
no wonder.
Even though he was a backroom merchant who secretly sold various items, I thought he had a book on necromancy with perfect timing.
‘That was Aria’s intention.’
Although he was a little surprised, there was no change in his expression. Arya continued her words.
“Since the demons are at the academy, I thought they would be looking for books on necromancy, so I prepared them in advance. And we use magic directly against those evil spirits!”
match!
Clapping her hands together, Aria shrugs and says she feels good.
“It is truly a harmony of theory and practice! You know, professor. “As a result of this academy incident, the professor’s necromantic skills have become much stronger.”
“… … .”
“Of course, I think I’m known as a necromancer by many people, but don’t worry about that. “I have another way.”
“… … .”
“So it’s okay. Professor, if you continue to become strong enough to defend yourself… … !”
“Guilt.”
Aria’s words, which seemed to go on forever, were cut off. Her first question was put into her mouth again.
“Do you feel any guilt?”
Even if no one is physically hurt, there are a lot of people who have suffered mental damage and trauma.
In addition, souls that were at rest were forcibly awakened and turned into evil spirits.
No matter how you look at it, it was closer to evil than good.
“yes?”
Aria looks at me in confusion as she says she was asked an unexpected question again. Then he spoke to me in a cold voice.
“Professor, everyone’s own life is most precious to them, right? Since you’re a professor, you probably know best, right?”
I don’t bother to answer and look down at Aria. I look directly into Aria’s eyes, which have already lost focus and only her cloudiness remains.

“So don’t think about anything else.”
Aria quickly stretched out her hand. Her strength as she grabbed both of my wrists with both of her hands was so strong that I couldn’t just shake them off.
If we fight now, we will lose every battle.
The main character of the second episode, who came to see the destruction of the world, was more overwhelming than expected.
“As for the professor, all you have to think about is the professor. “No matter what happens, you must survive, persevere, and be by my side.”
My wrist is pressed by her hand, which is holding it tightly as if telling me not to go anywhere.
But I looked down at her calmly and asked.
“I know very well what feelings you had towards me in my last life.”
“what? You already know that this is the second round, right? After all, professor! “Actually, I thought that would be the most difficult thing to convince you of.”
“If you’re talking like this, I guess you’re saying that I died in the previous episode.”
“… … I don’t want to think about it. Professor, please don’t tell me.”
Aria’s expression noticeably darkened, but I asked without paying any attention.
“Then I have one question.”
“Yes, just say anything. “I will tell you everything I can answer.”
Then, without hesitation.
“What did I say right before I died?”
“… … .”
This was a personal curiosity, and I needed to know what conclusions I had come to from my numerous experiences in the first session.
If it were me, there is a possibility that Aria will go to the second round, so I would have prepared a will in advance that would be helpful to me in the second round.
“Actually, I didn’t even hear the entire will. “The situation was so urgent.”
“It’s okay even if it’s short.”
“Professor… … .”
Aria, whose eyes are trembling as if she doesn’t even want to remember the situation at the time, takes a deep breath and opens her mouth heavily.
“… … The professor said, ‘If there’s a next time for you, then.’”
If there is a next time for you, then?
“I didn’t hear the rest of the story because it was an urgent situation… … “The professor may have expected the second round!”
“okay.”
Of course.
Although I’m glad to know that this is the second time.
I felt like I knew roughly what I wanted to say in the first session.
Aria is the main character who must lead the world with excellent leadership while speaking wonderful words about friendship and love.
With her current state.
Considering that it is a natural and only last words for me in the second round.
That’s not for Aria, that’s for me.
so that.
“Arya, if you have a next time. then.”
I guess the answer I would have given without difficulty and come up with it.
“Don’t look for me.”
Maybe it was something like this?
“yes?”
Aria’s eyes flutter again. In embarrassment, she lets go of my wrist that she was holding tightly and takes a step back.
“Well, what do you mean, Professor? “No matter what, you’re joking too much.”
I was the one who made the will.
Seeing the same person speaking in the same voice seemed to come as a bit of a shock to Aria.
“I’m just guessing. “If it were me, I probably wouldn’t have let you approach me in the second round.”
“Well, what do you mean! That can’t be possible! Professor! “There’s no way my professor would want to distance himself from me!”
“… … .”
“Hey, don’t say anything weird. I really wanted to meet the professor. “I only knew after he sacrificed himself for me to the very end.”
Aria approaches me with her hand outstretched. She tried to hug me with tears in her eyes.
“The professor was my world. So that means… … .”
Tuk.
My hand pushes her away.
“Aria Rias.”
A simple, honest, beautiful and loving girl.
“You are broken.”
She, the main character who is supposed to save this world, is terribly broken.
And that was because of the extremely dizzying and complex emotions mixed up in the name of affection.
“Ma, it’s broken? Me? no! “This, this is love!”
“… … .”
“Professor, you will find out soon enough! If you spend time with me… … !”
“stop.”
I press my hands around my eyes. My head hurts due to sudden fatigue.
“Don’t show your ugly side anymore.”
“ah… … .”
Aria bites her lip as if she is shocked and clutches the hem of her school uniform skirt with both hands.
‘Maybe after I died, Aria was broken because of the loss.’
Anyway, there is no way I would have ignored Aria’s condition even if I knew about it.
‘The ending strategy is on hold for now.’
The important thing now is to return Aria to her original tendencies.
To see the perfect happy ending of this game, it is impossible with the current Aria.
There is absolutely no reason for this to be the second time.
‘It shouldn’t end up like this.’
Even if it is the second episode, there will be no happy ending for everyone.
