In a Different World with a Smartphone

# 102 Identity, and the truth of the case.

Making noises with Gacha Gacha, armor approaches me as I wave my sword.

"Light, put on, shining holy spear, shining javelin"

The spear of light pierces the armor and so does the wall. The armor is crushed to pieces and fragments scattered around.

"Honorette... You thief my castle, you add Heaven... Kill Su... Kill Su... If you don't want to die, get out of this castle Yee...!

Voices echo in the room from nowhere. I mean, if you don't want to die, get out, that's a lot of friendly evil spirits. I guess this kind of thing doesn't have to be questioned, and it's classic not to have ears to ask.

"If we leave quietly, will we not be harmed?

"That's it... get out of here, Ba. Whatever. Nu..."

"Say no."

As I say, I shoot a spear of light into the wall just like I did earlier. I made a ragged noise and a big hole in the wall, and I could see the rain shining round the outside.

"Amber, coral, obsidian, tell everyone to evacuate outside. It will be a battle with ghosts."

Your Ladyships are at your disposal.

Copy that, too.

Send the Amber's readings and release more spears of light. The wall broke through to the next room. I avoid shooting in the main pillar, so I wouldn't have to worry about the ceiling or anything breaking down right away.

"Hey, you! Hey, what are you doing?

"Which will crush this place. We're going to rubble it, so no problem."

"Oh no... crush this castle!? That's troublesome...... yes, no, don't. Ooh! I'll curse you, I'll curse you!

Something's wrong. It's not powerful for evil spirits, and there's nothing that sounds like a counterattack from earlier.

"Hey, ghost. Are you really a ghost?

"Giku. That's right, daaaa! You're gonna be the ghost possessed by this castle. Ooh!

I told you, right now. I mean, normal.

"So if you destroy this castle completely, you will vanish."

You're right. Oh, chi, no. No! It won't go away if you break it, and you won't!!

Your character is completely broken. Even Else, who was scared until just now, is kicking ass.

"Hey, ghost. Who are you? If I'm gonna explain it properly, I'm gonna listen to you, okay? Otherwise, without question, this castle is a pile of rubble."

……………………

Ghosts don't answer. I don't know who it is, but I'm pretty sure I'm sticking to this castle. I thought there was room for discussion.

"If you don't want to talk, put this place in rubble..."

"Ahhh! Oh, wait, wait! I get it, I get it! Please come to the dance floor because we will talk properly..."

"Dance floor?"

Exit the run-down lord's room and return to the dance floor you passed earlier. As always, it was decorated with a painting of a woman in an emerald green dress. Look again at the woman who rose from her chair....... I knew it was big.

"... that?

"What's going on?

No, this portrait...... Yes, there's no way this is the wife of a murdering lord. As with the portrait earlier, the lord has been involved three times. What a decorative portrait of the previous lord's wife to put down. And the woman in this painting... you were "sitting" in the chair earlier!?

When I came to that fact, the woman in the painting moved out, put her hand on her forehead, and crossed it out to "this side".

"Yeah... hey"

"What, a person came out of a painting!? Yuyu, ghost!?

Else clings to me again. [M] Honestly, I hope it's time to stop because the pain wins more than I feel soft and pleasant......

It's not a ghost. I'm a magical creature. This forehead is the main body and this body is a phantom.

A magical creature? You mean a magically created life form? Does magic strike the temporarily early life, Homunculus or Golem? But framed?

"I see, surely I can't help but mistake this for a ghost. So? Why were you trying to kick us out?

'Cause if you get roughed up like the bandits who came before you, you're in trouble. Because this forehead is the main unit, when this is destroyed, it will disappear... "

I don't know. The bandits were nesting a few times trying to make it aside... This guy kicked you out?

"So, you're the one who killed one lord after another?

"No, you're not! I didn't kill him! The first one was originally sick, and suddenly he wasn't dead in the middle of the night, and the second one was just a horse wreck. The third is that the lord and his wife started a couple fights and the lord got stabbed. Just there."

And as I say, I point to where Else is. "Hiya!?," Else backsteps as she raises a small scream.

Didn't they all get killed by the ghost of a murdering lord?

After that, no one came. A few times the bandits come and break the inside of the castle in the fun half, so I'm worried I'll break my forehead too... "

"I kicked him out pretending to be a ghost," he said.

The "forehead" woman snorts.

"Mostly you, who made you?

"I was one of the magical creatures created by Doctor in the ancient civilization era. Ah, a doctor is a woman, a stranger, but an amazing genius..."

"... wait a minute"

Doctor, woman, stranger, genius. With all these nasty keywords lined up, all I can think of is his nigga laugh anymore.

"... what's the name of that Doctor?

Dr. Regina Babylon.

"That bastard!

I'm not exactly a bastard, though! Not again! What a hassle I've had, that Doctor! Besides, what do you mean all the wrinkles are coming to me!? Ah already!!

... No, no, calm down. Let's sort out the situation.

"I know you were created by Dr. Babylon. So, why are you here?

"Uh oh, I've been left in a warehouse floating in the sky for a long time, but the janitor there is a dodgy guy, and one day... um, about 320 years ago, that guy broke the warehouse wall, didn't he? That's when I and some other magic tricks were dropped on the ground. Luckily it was a super low flight and it was a snowy mountain down there, so don't break it..."

"... is that warehouse" zo "?

Is that it? You know me well, don't you?

See you later. That's when you also dropped the Immortality Jewel, the Sucker's Bracelet, and the Wallproof Bracelet. All the culprits are the Doji caretakers... we have to find them and punish them at all costs. Apparently, "Zuo" is still flying, and I may go sometime.

I can't use any magic power but the "forehead", so the climbers picked me up and flowed me here just to deal with antiques. The lord at the time put in a painting of his late wife, so he can finally use his magic. If I was sneaking around in the middle of the night or something like this, the lord would go crazy... "

Well, I guess the ghost of your late beloved wife turns up at night. Does it even make you crazy?

"When I started doing weird research and wondered if the people in the castle were ever going to be gone, the Knights attacked me and my lord was executed. Then came the new lord, but when I went to see his face in the middle of the night because of who he was, he suddenly stopped moving and was dead. That next lord saw me, too, and he popped out on a horse. I didn't exactly come back. The last lord said something about his wife saying," Cheater! I can't believe I brought in a woman! ♪ And he managed to stab me ♪

"That."

"Don't tell me, Else"

I stopped Else from saying anything. I can guess if it's all because of this guy. The first lord ran mad, confused by the phantoms of his late wife. That next lord was weak. Cardiac paralysis due to surprise at the body, that next lord was a ghost. Falling horse due to escaping with a horse, and the last was an offense by his wife who mistakenly thought this guy was a cheater.

... Tachi is too bad. Besides, the person is unconscious.

What's wrong with you?

"No...... So I'll get back to it, but I'm gonna demolish this castle."

"Yeah!? Terrible!?

"Listen to me until the end of the story. Provide a better place to live instead. It's safe there, and I'm free to live there. What do you say?"

Is that true? Then I have nothing to complain about... "

All right, negotiations are in place. I just need you to get back in the painting and unframe it. No, you didn't get dumped well, except for the first lord. Normally, I don't think I would decorate the painting of the previous lord's wife.

"I almost got dumped a few times, but I think the painter who painted this painting was famous, and he said something about it because it would be more valuable."

I see. Was it worth it as a work of art? Then will I remove this painting and sell it? I don't want to have a murder lord's wife painting either. [M] You wouldn't have a problem if you put in some other painting instead.

Everyone was gathered back at the front door. In the meantime, we need to talk about the situation and reveal who the ghost is. Although it is a legacy of ancient civilization, it is often annoying, but I cannot help it now.

We've cleared up the problem, and we'll just open the "gate" and move on from castle to castle to Brunhild. I was a little anxious because I had just never had such a large metastasis, but I had no problems.

After that, I went to the "workshop" and talked to Rosetta, and they still don't have enough material. Mostly glass and cloth, and then a little wood, but do we have to cut ourselves off as a necessary expense? I think I can source some waste material storage around the glass, but I think fabrics and stuff should still be brand new. They say there's a limit to disassembling and rebuilding.

"Once they are in place, we will transfer the materials to the" workshop "one by one and assemble them on the site as per the data as we rebuild. Speaking of which, where is the place?

Again, this kind of thing is in the center of the country, so I specified around the middle. Brunhild's terrain doesn't have much ups and downs. That's easy to pioneer, but so far you have no plans other than to build a castle, and it won't get in the way even in the middle. If the problem comes up, you can move from castle to castle again.

He said it would be done in about three days as long as we had all the ingredients, and what if we worked hard to collect the rest?
