A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Fresh blood.

Running through the earth, going through this world of dusk. It feels like a long time ago. But I did spend two years at dusk. [M]

"... die"

With the invisible sword Invisible Blade through the head of the Goblin, I continued. But the further I went, the more I felt like I was trapped in something. And the soreness of my right arm never stopped. The longer it takes, the more erosion my right arm engraves. [M] It feels like I'm not human anymore. Now that I think about it, I've been going on like that. [M]

……

I can hear someone. But I don't know who that is.

I'm...

"... uhh... a dream..."

I wake up. I feel like I was dreaming something. But I can't remember that clearly right now. But if you can't remember, it's not that important.

I'll get ready at once. [M] By the way, I plan to visit Ellie again today. Shelley and Gil are going hunting in the evening, but my presence makes me too strong to wait at the base this time. In the meantime, I'm supposed to hang out with Ellie's research.

Excuse me ~

"... yeah... yeah... no, no, that's not food..."

What a sloppy sleeping speech... and now I have to wake Ellie more than that. She said, "I think she's asleep, so wake her up." That's why I shake her shoulder. As usual, I don't sleep in bed, but I'm lying on my desk... and I'm pretty sure I'm asleep.

"... in five minutes"

"No, it's going to last forever."

"... coffee"

Huh?

"Put in some coffee...."

"... okay."

When I was told that, I poured instant coffee powder into the glass in the room and boiled the water. Everything seems to have a lot of coffee stocks in this room, and I know exactly what I'm always drinking.

Yes, I've made it.

"... yeah, thank you."

It still seems blurry and Ellie's eyes are still not completely focused. Still smelling of coffee, I managed to wake up my body and drink freshly brewed coffee.

"... Yulia, you're making a good brew."

"No, just put the powder in and pour hot water into it, so it's the same for everyone."

Well, that's also true. I feel different when someone lets me in. "

You're finally awake, so you can have a good conversation.

Well, I'm going to take a bath.

"There are underwear and changing clothes, so I brought them all together."

"Eh, hey...."

Ellie took off all her clothes and underwear on the spot and put them in the basket and went straight to the next room. As I had guessed about yesterday, it seems that she lives completely here. No, it may seem isolated to some of us... but that's not what I'm thinking right now.

I took out my underwear and clothes properly from where I was instructed and left them in front of the bathroom. [M] I know I shouldn't see a lot of things, but I knew it would be a lot of trouble if I didn't do it, so I did what I had to say.

Then we talked about dusk again. [M]

"So, about dusk, but do you have something?

"It's all in the documents I submitted....."

"Of course, I read it. But I want to hear it in your own words. I may have forgotten something, actually."

"Even so....."

"When did Twilight Syndrome begin to erode?

"A few days after dusk."

"Until then, there were no signs?

"That's right. That was the first time."

"That's right, there's more..."

Then I told Ellie more about what happened at dusk. [M] She takes notes as she listens. By the way, Ellie is a Premium vs. Magician, but his main focus is on research. Combat skills are also quite high, but it seems that it is more appropriate to study the person's personality. That's why Gil seems to be under a lot of strain… Still, Ellie's research seems to be important and she's allowed some freedom.

And I was talking to Ellie, and it was already a few hours ago.

"... alright. This is what it looks like. Thanks for hanging out with me for a long time."

"No, I found this helpful."

"Speaking of which, you're going to another city tomorrow, right?

"Yes"

Yes, I'll see you later.

Last time I shook hands, I broke up with Ellie.

◇

Oh, it's Julia.

Thank you, Mr. Gill.

When I came to the cafeteria, I just ran into Gil.

"Did you go to Ellie's?

"Yes, because they called me."

He's weird, isn't he? I've been working on it forever. "

"Hahaha... but, well, research on dusk is important."

That's right. It's a little annoying that I'm fighting at dusk for him. "

When the two of them received the meal, they chatted about the seats nearby. By the way, I'm a stable curry, and Mr. Gill has a daily meal set.

"Speaking of which, it's Shelly's. He's amazing."

"Huh? That much?

"You seemed nervous at first, but you were strong enough to make it through our squad. I tried to get support, but I was fine by myself. I could have done it on level 3."

Really? Normally at level 3.... "

I know Shelley has grown stronger, but I haven't seen the bottom yet. But it would be fair for Gil to praise you.

"I thought you were Belle's apprentice, but you're a monster."

"A monster?

"Ah, it looks just like Belle. Honestly, I don't think I can beat Bell in a fight within a three-meter radius. But Shelley looked just like Belle. The intensity of that time is unusual. Maybe, maybe."

"Are you saying Shelley became a superior versus magician...?

"Well, yes. More and more of these days, the Premium vs. the Mages are young, but I'm not against it. Even if that were the case."

"Really...."

Shelley becomes a Premium vs. Magus. That would certainly be a pleasure. But I'm sure if that happens, you'll step into something more dangerous. Premium anti-magicians are certainly strong. An area that only those of humanity with the greatest strength can reach. But Premium vs. Mages aren't invincible. In past battles, there are not zero dead Premium vs. Mages. Some of them are being attacked by demons.

I don't know what to worry about here, but I couldn't let it go. [M]

"Speaking of which, when Julia was in the evening, did she ever meet the superior demons?

"... I've encountered intelligent demons before."

"What about the Magus?

Are you a Magus? No, I haven't seen him in those two years. "

"Something seems strange to me. I haven't met a Magus in years. Especially when I reached levels 4 and 5, I encountered Magus. Speaking of special vs. magicians losing, most magicians are against them. But... after all, there's been no movement in the last few years... what do you mean..."

The last one sounded like a solitary conversation, but I haven't met a demon named Magus. In the materials, it looks close to humans, but it is at the top of the demon race, and some individuals outperform the superior anti-magician...

I have fought the intelligent superior demons in those two years, but I don't know the existence of the demons. I wonder what that has to do with...
