Disciple of Immortal
Lesson 39: The End of the Disturbance
Alice died and the Red Right Wand commotion subsided.
I took out and drank "God's Blood Ether" over a magic bag and healed my body wounds.
Because the Red King had made me struggle unexpectedly, I might have been supposed to sleep for about a day if The Blood of God Ether had run out of bottoms.
I heard from Pomera that the disturbance seemed to have subsided already.
Most of those in the Blood Cup who had vandalized Manarak had already been captured, and the rest had already fled.
The opponent should have been on a considerable scale, but it was something he was able to suppress well.
I was chasing Red Warrant Cane with Bennett, and Pomera gave priority to rescuing the wounded.
Cotone, the city's greatest power, had also been captured by Alice, so I was wondering if she might be lagging behind in dealing with the constituents of the Blood Cup, but she doesn't seem to worry about it.
... However, because of the strong fear, or because of the people in the "Blood Cup" who are in a state of relaxation, they were seen here and there in the city.
Looks like Filia was working pretty hard for me.
After the conversation, Pomera headed to the treatment center to make up for the White Wizard's shortage of manpower.
I asked Bennett to help me find the three puppets that had been made into puppet boxes (puppet coffins) by Cotone, Galan the Hundred Devils, and Barrot the Dungeon Master.
They were all alive.
I just didn't have a bare look to wake up.
I'm afraid I couldn't force Alice to cancel the Puppet Box.
That was horrible magic, tying the soul, rewriting the self freely into a puppet.
It's not strange that if you do a cluttered release, you'll never wake up again.
Cotone and the others were treated for half a day at the treatment center, but never regained consciousness.
The research facility with the Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril) has people who are familiar with Necromancer magic, so it was transferred to you.
The next day, with Pomera and Philia and Bennett, I visited a research facility called The Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril).
Cotone and Galan, Barrot, were put to bed.
All three were adults, as if they were dead.
"I apologize for relying on you, Lord Canata... Even we are unlikely to find a cure. Of course, I'm still trying to find a way... but I was wondering if it would be better if I didn't expect it."
Gannett bowed his head deep to us.
I bit my lip and dropped my shoulder.
Honestly, that was the answer I expected.
I was also taught to some extent about Necromancer magic by Renaele, so I was more confident in the construction of Necromancer magic than the person in "The Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril)".
But I also got permission from the treatment center to look at Cotone and the others, but I didn't feel like I could find a thread to fix it at all.
I tried to give Cotone a drink of God's Blood Ether, but it didn't work either.
"The expert's story says he's in a state where his self is scratched in a chisel and connected to the cod outing. How hard it is to treat this is like scratching a piece of magic book scattered in a vast desert of sandstorms and restoring it beautifully. That's not really what you can treat."
When Bennett heard that far, he hung his hand on Garang's sleeping bed and cried down.
"Dear Galan, Dear Galan! It's been missing for a long time, and I finally found it... and I thought it might help, but this...!
To Bennett, Galan seemed to be a dear senior.
There is no reason to disturb it.
"Pomera is bad...... If Pomera hadn't beaten that Demon Dragon kid with a big stick..."
"It's not Mr. Pomera's fault. Without Mr. Pomera, Alice would have hung me in a puppet box and run away."
Who's to blame, it was definitely me.
If I had left some more room in the battle against the Red King, I wouldn't have been caught by Alice.
If that were the case, on the contrary, I would have been able to detain him.
Besides, it is likely that Alice originally came to this magical city because of the superior being, Nialotope, who was trying to kill me.
No, likely, not, almost certain.
When I tried to magically delay the Red King explosion, there was something to interfere with it.
That voice...... I won't forget.
It belonged to Nialotope, the superior being who sent me into this world.
Nialotope is coming to wipe me out for real.
Alice also touched on that.
This "red scepter" commotion itself, the superior being plotted to erase me, and there is no way to escape the superior being, and the damage will be all around me.
The damage was done to Cotone.
I stiffened my fist.
A top-ranked niarotop may not be the kind of person I can resist.
But if the Nialotopes are after me, and they're damaging my surroundings, they can't just keep quiet.
We have to find the strength to resist him in this world.
"Mr. Canata......?
You worried about me when Pomera suddenly silenced, or you rang.
I shook my head.
I was thinking a little bit.
I turned to Gannett.
"Mr. Gannett, I'll look for a way to get Mr. Cotone and the others back. Hang on for the rest of your life. 'Cause I'll definitely let you find it. So why don't you leave them here for a while? If it's money, I'll try to get it ready."
"Lord Kanata was close to Lord Cotone."
Gannett, yes, groaned pompously and laughed lonely.
Me and Cotone were talking about Japanese comics in a facility called The Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril).
Guess Gannett knows we've been talking a long time.
"Non was also well looked after by Lord Cotone. Don't worry about boring things, such as money.... and then, for a moment, I need to talk to Lord Canata, can I have a separate room?
Gannett said that with a serious face.
I don't know, but there's no reason to say no.
I nodded.
Gannett took me, two people in a place like a conference room, face-to-face.
Gannett's men brought the tea into the room, leaving a large envelope behind.
As I stared at the envelope, Gannett started talking.
"Lord Kanata... Of course, Non is not going to get out of the way to treat Lord Cotone. But the prospect of regaining consciousness is terribly low."
"… it is, I understand"
"If you don't want to answer, that's all I can tell you... Lord Kanata is the same otherworld-transfer as Lord Cotone, isn't he?
I was a little worried, but I nodded.
I wasn't even conscious of trying to hide it that far.
And from Gannett, who had a lot of contact with Cotone, it's easy to see that I'm a metastatic.
I can't help but delude you.
"Again...... Did you hear about Lord Cotone's hobby?
Gannett has a serious look and asked me that.
I nodded at Gannett's question, wondering if it was a story I had to tell now.
"Yes, it is. Mr. Gannett knew that, too."
"Yes, with all due respect, I did a little bit of exploring Lord Cotone... and I was consulted when Lord Cotone shrunk the activities of the adventurers. Non promised to help Lord Cotone spread the word if he could produce satisfactory works."
"That's all you've been asking..."
Cotone's dream was to spread comics in this world.
Indeed, for Gannett, who holds the Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril), it would also be easy to promote Cotonese comics throughout the manalark.
"Actually... at least I want to make Lord Cotone's dream come true"
Gannett said, opening a large envelope on his desk.
A large amount of paper came out of it.
"Is this...?
"It is the comic strip of Lord Cotone. In fact, he asked me to lend him a place where he could concentrate on his work, and he lent him a room in The Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril). It's a collection of things that came out of you."
Sure, Cotone used to say he wanted to show me if I wanted to, but could I look at it on my own...
Cotone seemed a little shy of this hobby.
Around bringing it together relentlessly, Gannett, who has lived in a world without comics, probably didn't really understand the feeling of being ashamed of his painted comics.
I was troubled, but the desire to know more about Cotone prevailed.
I ran my eyes to the comics in the envelope, apologizing to her in my heart.
It was a Battle Cartoon.
It was about psychics fighting in a Japanese-style world.
"Interesting......"
"Yeah, yeah, right? Lord Cotone wasn't convinced, but I was wondering if this would be the subject of discussion."
Gannett nods happily.
I just know what it feels like Cotone wasn't convinced.
There is a lot of content and settings, and if you look at them from me, there are many places where you can see clearly what works you are referring to.
Besides, paintings are much better than ordinary people, but they weren't sophisticated enough to be described as professional comic drawing.
But given that no other comics still existed in this low crore, I didn't even think it was a big negative.
"Non didn't know much about the details of what form Lord Cotone wanted this comic strip to take. I have a few questions in that regard. If Lord Kanata knows the real thing, he's quick to talk. I want you to help me sell Lord Cotone's comics in a book."
"If that's the case, I'll work with you. Leave it to me."
I wanted to make Cotone's dream come true, too, of making comics popular in this low crore.
"Oh, thank you, Lord Canata! Because of the disturbance earlier, there was dark air all over Manarak. The cost of labor is high, but we want to mass produce it quickly with transcriptional magic and spread it in the near future. For that matter, I would like to ask for a detailed confirmation. I think I will be burdened with Lord Kanata..."
"No problem. We're not in a hurry, so we're here to help."
"This is comforting"
Gannett nodded loudly with pleasure, then touched his own jawbeard.
"Speaking of which, Lord Kanata, there's a comic book out there that I'm not sure about. That's in the last one of the envelopes too, so would you mind watching?
"I'm not sure cartoons...... are you"
When I did roll the paper, I noticed that there was another comic strip in it.
I thought it was a familiar character, so I went ahead and read it, and then I felt my face tense.
... It was a second-creation Boys Love comic book, using characters from a boy comic book that was very popular in Japan.
It was a comic book that I had spoken of as liking Cotone.
I guess it's something I drew not to show people, but to totally enjoy myself.
There is no explanation of the character's background or settings, and there is a great deal of unevenness where the picture is also powerful and not.
"That's the only place I could find it, but it was something I didn't really understand... Maybe there's another page in Lord Cotone's room."
"... well, make sure you didn't see this comic book. Instead, you might want to burn it and dispose of it"
"Mm...? Am I right?
Gannett looked unconvinced.
