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

(... the world hasn't changed today either.)

Shelley in the ward sees the world dominated by dusk through the window. Shelley's memory is broken in the middle of the battle against Cyrus. Afterwards, when I woke up, I noticed that I was in bed. Of course, she was astonished at the fact that there was a bell next to her.

"Sensei, I...."

"Sherry. Take care... actually..."

And she knew. This is the end of the story. And even your own roots.

"Am I taking the devil's blood?

"Yes... for details, Twilight Factor at dusk..."

"Really... so, Senpai Eira is the same, and Julia is a complete individual..."

"Yeah... that's what I remember from Lianne-sama's eyes... but I think I'm right. Sherry's growth rate... was incredible..."

"... I see. I'm convinced, Doctor. I... am a strange being..."

"... that's right. But I'm Shelley, and I was born... no matter what... I think it was Shelley.

"... thank you."

Keep your head down. Well, I guess I wasn't human... the moment I heard that, I was shocked, but I gradually accepted it. Certainly, my growth rate improved significantly one day at a time. Until recently, the speed was unusual, especially after meeting Julia. Shelley pretended not to see it. This is the result of effort. You may be talented, but your efforts have blossomed. I decided to assume that, but I felt stronger every time the eroding twilight syndrome (Twilight Syndrome) deepened.

And now... there's no sign of Twilight Syndrome. She was just sad to think whether she had finished a true awakening in a way.

I can't help but be sad that I came from human malice. And I remember my father. Dead father. I don't think blood is connected now, but it doesn't change that my father is my father. And the grief of that time is real. Yes... that sorrow is abundant in this world of dusk. Someone dear to someone dies every day. It builds up, and people's vengeance transcends ethics... and creates something they have to do.

What a profound business... yes, Shelley thinks, but there's nothing more to be done. The will did not change. I'm sure Julia knows this fact and will go even further. He would have done it. Then there is no reason for me to stop.

"So... there are three fewer Premium vs. Mages, so I'm replenishing them... but I heard that Shelley will be the new Premium vs. Magus..."

"Really?

"Yeah... I'm recommending it too... didn't you like it?

"That's not true. But is it okay for me?

"... it's okay. Sherry, you can do it... I'm sure you can be a great superior versus magician..."

"I see. I'm going to be... a superior versus magician."

Shelley was aiming for a superior anti-magician. The gift arrived in a completely different way from the way I imagined it. But I didn't mind. As long as I can shake the blade again for mankind, I don't mind. No matter what the environment.

She goes on, too. I stood up to this twilight with a firm will.

◇

Then a few days. Shelley was at work because it was called. Honestly, I'm nervous. I know the Premium Warlock people, but their position is too heavy.

When she was so nervous, she could talk from behind.

"Hey, Shelly."

"Yulia, it's been a while. Besides... it's quite refreshing."

"Sherry, since then. Well, that's right... this is a good opportunity, so I hung up."

"That's right. I think my short hair suits me very well. Still, I'm a little nervous...."

"Hahaha, well... I was nervous the first time."

It's a casual conversation, but the truth is... Shelley was calm. Yes, it was a panic inside.

-What!? Cut your hair!? Eh!? Yuko!? Huh!?)

Just touch Julia's hair lightly in the upper part of the "Rabbit". Still, my heart is in a hurry. I don't understand the meaning. I had long hair when I met you the other day, but now I have short hair. Besides, there are a lot of parts that are cut by themselves or by bumps. Still, Julia is now...

(... eh? It's so cool!?

Yes, Shelley was a striker with short, handsome hair. Until now, Yulia has a neutral face and long hair. To be honest, I wasn't particularly conscious because I didn't try to be a man for what I saw. But not now. Julia with short hair has a definite masculinity. And because I woke up as a magician, I also feel a little taller, and my body feels pretty tight.

Simply masculine, Julia looked radiant to Shelley.

(Oh, calm down... this is just a palpitation... nothing abnormal...)

So she calmed herself down and went straight to the meeting.

◇

"Hmm, Yulia cut her hair. I'd like to see it ~"

"I'm freaking out... it's really cool"

"Eh... so much as Shelley said?

Shelley came to the cafeteria after the meeting and finished training with Belle. It was not long before she met Sofia. Sofia also appears to be participating in this operation, and as Shelley, she was relieved to see just the face she saw.

When they arrive in the same seat, they have a conversation while eating as usual.

"No, yeah. Maybe it's a bit serious and bad...."

"Have you noticed?

"To what?

"I love Julia."

"What about it?"

"No, anyone can tell from the side. We all know that we're the only ones who don't realize it."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa... who's everybody?"

"Everyone in the team. Besides, it's a famous rumor in the army. I can't help falling in love with the Premium Warlock....."

"... really?

"Yeah, but Shelley's a new Premium vs. Mage now, and I think we're on the right track. It's just...."

"It's just... what?

"Senpai Eira, you're a rival."

"Eh? Senpai Eira, is that so?

"Eh, don't you notice that either? That's why my brain muscles..."

"I don't want to curse you right now, just tell me!

"No, Senpai Eira likes Julia too. I mean, Julia's the only one who hasn't noticed yet."

"... really?"

I'm serious ~

Shelley puts the spoon holding the curry on the spot and gets caught up in her thoughts. I didn't expect things to be going so far without knowing anything about it. But I noticed that Sofia told me. I am certainly attracted to Julia.

"Well, what do you think we should do?

"Eh... admit it normally, I like Julia."

"Well, well... I don't know, I was feeling thin..."

"Hmm... yeah, no, I think it's good. I think it's very good to be in love, yeah."

"I don't know who you're looking at... but there's an important operation ahead, and even after that..."

"Sweet! Sweet! Senpai Eira may already be moving! Besides, the chances of us losing our lives in the operation aren't zero. That's why we have to approach now!!

"That kind of thing?

"Definitely!

"I see... I'll try my best..."

Shelley also realizes her feelings and starts moving... but that's another story.
