A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 224: The Doll Part 3

Reurus, who had received Esther's words, asked as he wiped the blood around his mouth.

"... does that mean 'chanting' and using some kind of magic?

The magic that Esther, a spiritual teacher, exercises by calling the Great Spirit with "chanting". What kind of effect does it have?

It was a Reurus that thought about it, but Estelle became an extra troubled face.

"No, I'm not using magic by 'chanting'. You saw it the first time you met Mr. Reurus, right? At that time, she looked at me through Reurus, but this time, I would like to borrow your help with my call."

Apparently, it's not what Reurus expected. Estelle tightened her expression in response to Reurus who wondered what effect it would have and whether she could break the situation.

"I just can't guarantee what will happen."

"... eh?

"I don't think I'm going to hurt Reurus and the others, but I don't know how much you can help me...."

Esther says something disturbing. Reurus pulled his cheeks to the uncertain suggestion and thought he should do something on his own.

"Ahhhhh! Shooting or shooting won't stop! Even if you target the woman behind you, the magic will disappear, so do something! Hey, Reurus!

Sarah's impatient voice flew in. We're still shooting fireballs to hold Jilba down, but we can't seem to get any more. Sometimes Eliza shoots in lightning magic, but even if they do, Gilba responds easily.

(While they're holding Jilba back, I can't hold her back... if Wing Dragon moves. Meer and Neddy can't get away from Esther....)

I was wondering if you could fill in the “one hand” that lacks ester, but I don't think it's that good a story. Though I thought so, Esther said with a serious expression.

"At the very least, I think I can borrow the eyes of the Great Spirit. It depends on the situation, but I wonder if I can see through the enemy bishop's hands."

"... I don't know, can I believe it?

That's what I said in this situation. I don't know if Estelle has any chance of winning, but she can't be completely trusted as a Reurus.

But I'm sure I still need some kind of hand. The situation is good for five minutes, and Zilba may be able to deplete her magic by continuing to use Nullify, but given Rebecca's presence, she won't be able to bring it in for more than five minutes.

"Leave it to me... I've actually been trying it for a while now. It's about time...."

That said, Esther's words were cut off. And I think I weakened my body, so I collapsed and fell on the spot.

"Hey, Estelle!?

Suddenly, Reurus rushed to the fallen Esther. I was told to buy time, but are you telling me to protect myself when I fall down?

"Hmm!?

The rushing Reurus stopped feeling the powerful magic released from Esther's body.

The magic that is released around the body of the ester, like a vortex. As if to capture the surrounding magic, it even seems that the magnitude of the magic increases with every second.

"Uhh!? Hey, hey, Reurus!? What did you do? What did you do!?

"Eh...."

It was a surprising revulsion, but Sarah and Neddy reacted similarly.

Sarah couldn't look back because she was firing a ball of fire at Zilba, but rarely did her voice contain a burning color. Neddy is more responsive than Sarah, but she's small and breathtaking.

(What... this...?)

Although the battle continues around him, Reurus leaks a dazed voice in his heart. Until then, the magic emitted by Esther was powerful and felt uncomfortable at the same time.

(This feeling of discomfort... is the same as when Sarah used advanced magic...?

My spine feels weak. A feeling of discomfort similar to fear creeps around the body of Reurus. Unconsciously, the 'Dragon Slasher' was about to turn to the Ester, and Reus grabbed his right hand.

Should I keep watch, or should I stop Esther? Reurus patrolled for a few seconds, but the ester changes faster than he decides.

When Esther fell to the ground, she slowly got up and stood up - she just rose up.

An ester that rises about 50 centimeters away from the ground without feeling gravity. The magic released was just getting stronger, but it eventually subsided.

"Esther...?

It was a revulsion that called out to confirm, but Esther opened her eyes to respond to that call. The red eyes are not looking at anything as if they had lost all of their emotions, but they emit a bright, crimson light.

Esther could hear Reurus or look around. After checking the surroundings for about ten seconds, the mouth was opened.

"What is this... why did you summon me in this situation?

The voice was of ester, but the tone was very different. It sounded like a bewildered, stunned voice.

"Mr. Esther... it's not... it's not. Who are you?

Considering that he said he would use the power of the Great Spirit, is it the Great Spirit himself? Or did some ability change the character of the ester?

It was the second time Reurus saw the power of Esther, but the first time he received the 'Divine', he had a more polite and harsh atmosphere. However, the tone and atmosphere of the person in front of me is much more shattered than before.

"Hmm? I'm Comona. Spirit Comona. That kind of you....."

Against the confused Reurus, Esther - Comona lightly tells her name.

And when I looked seriously at Reurus' face, I tilted my neck and then held my hands together.

"... ahhh, that's not the girl I saw before. How you doing, man? If you're okay... you're not okay anyway. You're bleeding out of your mouth.

"... do you remember me?

"Hmm? I won't forget that. Not many guys are as distorted as you... No, they used to be. Is it too late now?

I don't understand Reurus, but from Comona, it seems to have left an impression. Although there are many things to say, it was better to do something urgent as a revulsion.

"Esther is you... no, the Great Spirit? Master Komona? I called you. It would be helpful if you could help me...."

- Is this Esther's trump card?

Bewildered, while Reurus changed his tone, Comona leaned her neck.

"Can I help you? Why? I don't think we need to."

A mysterious Comona. The appearance is still ester, but the tone and atmosphere even make me feel like someone else.

However, Comona looked around again strangely - looking at Rebecca and frowning.

"That's... hey, there's something quite unusual about it. Should I say strange rather than unusual?

Comona exclaims, saying she saw something unusual.

"I don't know who made it, but it's not a good doll. Inside... hmm, the lewd devil. I don't like it very much."

Komona stares at Rebecca and tells her to see through something. Did you hear the words? Until then Rebecca's face was slightly stronger as she stared at Reurus and smiled.

"Dolls, lewds?

I asked what that meant, but there was a part of Reurus that was convincing.

You can't be a normal person if you don't hang your neck and die. Even if there is such magic, it is too heterogeneous.

"One of them is a lewd devil, and you're being manipulated by that" blessed "one." Goku "is... ah, fascinating. The other one's just a doll. A doll that mimics form and ability... Ah, was it made by some princess? It's a poor quality compared to that."

"Doll... is that a magic doll!?

When I heard Estelle's words, Reurus felt something flashing in his head.

That's what Dwarf Calvin once told me. I did hear that there was a magic tool that mimics the figure of a person called a magic doll.

(Shit! Are you stupid? Am I?

Gilba suddenly appeared as an enemy, angry at Rebecca. I didn't turn my head on those two. Now, realizing Rebecca's “entanglement”, Reurus bites his teeth.

According to Calvin, there are two types of magic dolls.

One is a doll that mimics the user's imagination and moves itself as if it were willing.

And one is a literal doll manipulated by magic. It seems that the shape can be imitated, but I hear it won't move without a hand.

"Heh... that's the name you have now. But that doll is pretty good, but I think only about 60% of the counterparts that imitate it can perform. Half of them are manipulated by lewd demons...? Because it's over the doll, the" protection "seems to be weakening."

…………

When I heard about Comona, Reurus suddenly stopped talking. Even though Komona clearly identified Rebecca and Gilba, the story was even more shocking.

(That Gilba is a magical doll, about 60% of her strength... and half of her "protection"? It's not stylish....)

It was something I didn't want to hear about as a revulsion. Gilba's strength is the same, but Rebecca's “main unit” is nearly twice as troublesome.

"That's why you can win if I don't help you, right? The dragons over there are weak, and it's a breach of contract for me to take action. And...."

Comona laughed at the confusing Reurus, but her gaze turned towards Sarah and Neddy.

"If you have a red kid over there, you'll be fine. The blue girl....."

For the first time, Comona's face twisted in astonishment. Jilba - she was disturbing the movement of the magic doll, making Sarah feel familiar, but she seeped ruggedness as if she had something to worry about Neddy.

"... is something wrong with Neddy?

Unexpectedly speaking, Komona lays her eyes down. But within seconds, he raised his face and smiled a little.

"No... as long as you're with me. I'm worried that there are three signs of monsters swallowing everything here."

As soon as I said that, the voice of Komona was cut off. Until then, the floating body fell to the ground, and Reurus rushed to catch it.

"Uhh... what happened?

Commona spoke earlier than Reurus did - Esther spoke.

Until then, the powerful magic that had been released was spreading, and the Esther herself exhaled as if it had been severely depleted.

If I were to ask what happened, nothing would have been solved. Rebecca and Gilba both turned out to be magical dolls, but that's why the threat didn't leave.

Reurus patrols how he told the severely depleted ester. But Lewis' voice came before Lewis could say anything.

"No... no more good news. If it's a magical doll, not a Jilba, then there's nothing wrong with being hostile."

The voice is powerful enough to say that it has heard good things. When Lewis looked at something, he thought he was listening to Lewis and Comona, and Lewis smiled to break the status quo.

"Let's stop the magic doll that imitates Jilba. You take care of that bishop."

That's what Louis said about the odds.
