Chapter 44 – 44. The princess and the dream
“Whoa.”
When I returned to the room, I sighed and flopped down on the hard bed.
Finden Eye’s unique sweet and bitter scent of tobacco fills the room and lingers in my nose.
It looks like she cleaned it up diligently, but her hair and her traces are visible here and there.
I didn’t expect it to be completely cleaned anyway, so I just pretend not to see it and exhale.
Aria’s face, smiling brightly until the end as she left, still lingers in my mind, making me frown.
It would have been right to separate her from the original. I probably thought that too in the first episode.
‘She was more broken than I thought.’
If you leave it carelessly now, you never know how things will change.
I need to fix my dependency on me, because I can’t even imagine how broken it would be without me.
First of all, I thought about letting her help me but also letting her fall naturally.
Since something good happened at the right time, I gave her separate instructions.
She was dissatisfied with having to stay away, but after listening to my entire plan, she smiled brightly and said she would follow along, saying she was the professor.
He even sobbed slightly, probably because he felt pleasure at the fact that I needed him.
Even if it seems difficult right away.
It will be okay if you take it step by step.
Yes, just take it slow.
Because there is something only she can do to save the world.
‘The strategy itself can be done slowly. ‘I’m just getting started anyway.’
As for the game, we have now passed the prologue and entered the first chapter.
Moreover, the growth itself was already sufficient in the second round, so there was no need to rush.
‘You just need to pay attention to Aria’s mentality.’
I suddenly became a baby, but there was nothing I could do about it. Because she was ultimately in a position to save this continent.
[Look here.]
At that time, the color off-white reached my ears. It was a soft yet alluring voice that reminded me of a siren, a small creature in the sea.
When I glanced up, I saw a black woman standing there, her whole body covered in a robe and her mouth covered with a cloth.
It looked so creepy that anyone who saw it would shout out that it was a ghost, but it was actually a ghost.
Besides, I had seen her once.
“Yeah, I was trying to find you, but you came here first.”
A person who was captured by the angel of Setima and spit out a magic called boundary that destroys life and death.
He was a necromancer who was summoned by Gideon but died in vain.
[Where did you get that book?]
The necromancer points to an old book among a pile of books, as if to avoid putting people at odds with people who already know everything.
I told them to put the books on the bookshelf and leave them alone if there were no bookshelf, but it turned out to be the work of Finden Eye, who had built a tower.
anyway.
What she pointed to was a magic book related to necromancy that Aria obtained and that I purchased from a backroom merchant.
“I got it from a merchant. “I was lucky.”
[That’s mine.]
“… … “I see.”
Aria clearly said that she stole it from an outstanding necromancer. It seemed like she had an unintentional connection with this woman.
[I went out into the world briefly to retrieve that book, and then the Geronia family contacted me and offered to help me.]
“So you’re asking me to give it back to you?”
[…] … No, you don’t need it anymore. Because he died.]
A necromancer who calmly accepts his own death. It may be unfair, but originally, warlocks are a group of people who are not surprised to die at any time.
In particular, necromancers are often calm in the face of death because they are always close to the soul.
“Then what is the reason you came?”
When I asked calmly, the necromancer sighed.
[Originally it was revenge. Anyway, he died in vain. But now that doesn’t matter.]
“… … .”
[I’m being chased now. When I die, the evil spirits that were raised by me have been released and are looking for me.]
“… … So there were still quite a few evil spirits in the academy.”
I press my fingers against my throbbing head. He had definitely solved the case and the number of evil spirits had decreased, but he was a little surprised that there were more than he expected.
It wouldn’t be strange if, when this necromancer died at the academy, evil spirits with a grudge against her came flocking to her.
[That’s why I’m hiding here. When I’m by your side, evil spirits can’t come to me.]
“… … .”
[I thought it was some necromancer who hid his identity… … You can wake up and see all the souls wandering the continent, right?]
“Okay, what about you?”
[I could only see some parts where Han was strong. After dying like this, I now know how many souls are floating around on the continent.]
The necromancer regrets that it would have been better if he had known sooner.
“Can’t I use magic after I die?”
Since the soul is made up of a kind of mana, I thought it might be possible for her as a wizard.
The necromancer shook his head.
[It’s impossible. It should contain enough resentment to replace the physical body, but I don’t have that kind of regret.]
“Good.”
[yes?]
I jump up and look at the necromancer. I thought it was quite tall when I was sitting down, but when I stood up, it was almost up to my shoulders.
She was definitely tall for a woman.

“What is your name, necromancer?”
[Call me a dark spirit. Because it is known that way on the continent.]
Dark spirit temple.
He appears as a fairly infamous necromancer in the game. However, he does not appear separately in the game.
“From now on, teach me your necromancy.”
[Ha, you want to use me?]
The dark spirit master folds his arms, saying they are not the same. The corners of her mouth hidden behind the cloth were showing a sneer.
[Did you look down on him because he became a dead person? Necromancy is my own. I would rather bury it, but I have no intention of having a disciple.]
“I’m not just asking for help. “This is a contract.”
[What contract? It’s not like you’re protecting me from evil spirits, is it? I avoid them, but I’m not afraid.]
“No, it’s not like that.”
It just worked out well.
Because the perfect item to persuade her just came into my pocket.
He quietly takes out the jewel that Aria gave him from his pocket.
[Reme, Geton?]
The dark spirit uncrossed his arms and stretched out his hand, saying he couldn’t believe it. But when I clenched my fist to hide it, it stopped and glared at me.
[Where did you get that? A treasure I couldn’t find no matter how hard I searched!]
“You don’t need to know that. Dark Spirit, I am giving you a chance.”
[…] … .]
“The end of necromancy that you couldn’t reach. “Right now, there is a wizard in front of you who will change the entire concept of necromancy that permeates this continent.”
He has a talent that no necromancer has: eyes that can see all the dead.
There is also knowledge about the future.
I even got my hands on a fraud-level item called Lemegeton.
I was confident that, given enough time, I could become a necromancer who would shake up the continent.
“I can leave a small mark in my footsteps. “You are pushing the back of the man who will see the end to the necromancy you have longed for.”
[…] … .]
“It doesn’t matter if you’re not there. It will take a little more time, but eventually I will reach the end.”
The dark spirit clenches his fists. She too had noticed the potential I had in her.
“Because you are dead, everything is already over. A dream that must be given up. But I will be there to see and help you achieve that dream.”
Slowly extend the hand holding the Lemegeton forward and offer to shake hands.
Without thinking for a long time, she took my hand without hesitation.
[Please call me Master.]
With bullshit.
“Get out of my room, dark spirit.”
* * *
Warm sunlight gently rests on golden hair. If there were grades for color, her hair color would probably be praised by experts as being of the highest grade.
The beautiful golden color was a characteristic of the royal family and a symbol with hundreds of years of history.
“Princess, it’s time to wake up.”
Princess Eleanor Luden Griffin opens her eyes to the voice of her maid calling her carefully.
Eleanor, who had fallen asleep face down on the desk instead of the bed she was used to, naturally leaned against the backrest and stretched out.
“Was I sleeping?”
He was clearly studying essential subjects before entering the academy, but he seemed to have fallen asleep.
“You work too hard, princess. “Please take some rest.”
“Ha-am, even though you are a royal, it would be difficult if you were rumored to be stupid at the academy.”
No matter how much it is a place for learning, there is something called royal dignity.
Even if it was impossible to get first place in the entire school, I needed to get at least third place.
‘hmm?’
Eleanor, who sensed something strange, stood up, stretching her body.
After briefly washing my body with a wet towel brought by the maid, I take off my pajamas and put on other clothes.
“But I’m glad you don’t seem to have any nightmares when you sleep while studying.”
“… … “Uh, sure.”
Eleanor secretly smiles when she realizes that she woke up without having any dreams.
“I guess I should sleep like this often.”
“My heart was heavy to see you waking up in a hurry, drenched in sweat because of nightmares every day.”
“Ah, I can’t help it. The dream was more shocking than I thought. But it’s okay now.”
“yes?”
When the maid asked with a question, Eleanor smiled.
“At first, I was scared because I didn’t know it was a dream. “Now I’ve found a way to realize it’s a dream.”
“Is there such a thing?”
After putting on the dress, the maid who knelt in front of me to put on my shoes asked me in doubt.
“Yes, it’s simpler than you think. “Dreams have no scent.”
Eleanor laughs and takes a deep breath.
“Look, in my room right now… … .”
“… … .”
“In my room… … .”
There is no scent.
“uh?”
Eleanor, embarrassed, takes a step back. Her half-worn shoes came off and rolled on her floor.
The maid slowly got up.
“what? you… … who is this?”
Now that I think about it, I don’t remember that maid’s face.
The maid smiles with satisfaction when she sees Eleanor like that.
“It was the scent?”
“Huh! “Huh!”
Eleanor woke up rough and soaked in sweat. Information pours into my head like flushing a toilet.
Yes, he has already entered the academy and this is his dormitory.
Although he lost his top spot, his grades are top-tier.
Also, I still couldn’t escape from the nightmare I had been having for a very long time.
