A necromancer wrote, "What is the definition of death?"

Death is inevitable. Death cannot be overthrown. That is the inoperative law of this world. A realm of absolute inviolability. Those who have too many lives have achieved aging agelessness, but it still does not prevent death perfectly.

It has been believed for many years, but we are putting ourselves into research every day to deny this common sense.

What is the definition of death? Medical death, biological death, is different from death in necromancy. No, even if you are not familiar with necromancy, if you are a spiritual person or someone who knows a little bit about the underworld, you will not associate the stopping of the heart and brain with death.

The absolute condition to conclude that it has entered the state of death is that the soul completely loses contact with the flesh, and changes its location from the present [depression] to the eternal [place].

However, the author believes that this definition is also about to collapse at a time when necromancy research has made it possible to create dead people close to the living.

There is a corpse doll. This technique restored the corpse to its original state so that it could maintain the same abilities as before. Breathe, eat, and excrete like a living person. In spite of the corpse, an intelligent being exists and acts on his own mind. However, there was no soul. Because of that, I have no emotions. Even with intelligence, the mind does not exist. You can make it look emotional, but you have to do a complicated trick.

Now, apart from the absence of a soul, can you recall a soul to this corpse doll that is as close as possible to a living being?

The answer is no. The author tried for years, but it didn't work. At least the souls that had traveled completely to the underworld never returned.

Well, then, if it's a soul wandering between this world and the everlasting world that hasn't yet completely travelled to the underworld, I wonder if I can revive the dead when my body is fully restored?

The answer is in half: some have been resurrected, and others have not returned. But this was a huge leap forward. We need to change the definition of the dead a little bit.

It is concluded that revival is possible if the spirit is completely separated from the flesh, if the flesh is completely restored and repaired, and if the spirit is not completely travelled from this world. Or still, the state is not death. It may be said that it should not be applied to the definition of death.

The author dreams. The technique of transcending death [Slip] seemed subtle at this point. There is certainly an art of escape from death, of retreating from death, of refusing to die. Theoretically, it can be established. The Necromancers' tragedy - I could see the end of it.

Make a corpse doll before you die. Or save a blueprint of the flesh for it. It is important to preserve physical information.

There is also the question of whether it is not possible to use a clone instead of a corpse doll, but it is not the clone itself. At the time of production, it is likely that another soul will enter immediately, and there is a need for a way to stop it, but there is no way to find such a way. In that case, it would be more realistic to make a corpse doll.

We also need to do something to prevent the soul from flying completely into the Underworld before it dies. We can do this again. Ancient magicians have already created something terrible called the "power spirit". Currently, necromancy in Japan is an application of the art of power spirit making, which makes it possible to capture and preserve souls before going to the underworld. It is quite an advanced technique, and the old and strong souls cannot be kept under the control of the technique.

In theory, this should overcome death. As long as you're prepared, you won't die sooner.

However --- Although the author has tried many experiments with many necromancers in Pregnancy Sacred Village, he was unable to stop death.

Something is missing. I don't know what that is. Or you don't have enough power. As long as we know what it is, we can definitely stop it if we have the strength. I can establish a way to prevent death. "

― ― It is unclear when this note was written. The author was a necromancer in and out of Pregnancy Sacred Village...



What are you really doing?

A boy with a half-open mouth and a default smile truly called out as he lay down.

"Oila, I was worried about the truth." It looked like I was on a rampage all by myself. "

"I can't believe you're worried about me..."

Tashiro looked up at the face of the childhood friend Tashiro Hishi, and accidentally spilled a smile.

"Ah, the truth laughed." It must be raining red. I'll tell your mom, too. "

Jen laughs when she thinks she's going crazy.

When the truth got up, there was also a big boy nearby - Daichi Zongdeok [Daichi Munbe-nori]. He is also a true childhood friend. Ever since I was a child, the three of them have been acting together.

“Are you sure you're doing the right thing?”

Zongdeok asked worriedly.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I am moving on impulse. [M] I'm doing what I want to do. I don't think there is any blurring at the moment. No, it's okay to blur. That means we're going to fix the trajectory. Even though I know that a storm is coming, it is ridiculous to barge in unavoidably just because it is a scheduled course. Of course, in some cases, we need to dive into storms."

"That's not what you used to think." It was quite a leap of fame. "

Upon hearing the true words, Zongdeok smiled.

Flexible thinking was taught by Junko. I don't say anything to my mouth, but I am grateful. I was taught a lot of other things.

"Revenge is a stupid thing to do, and repeated over and over again, and you really thought so, but you didn't abandon revenge. If you knew you were an idiot, you should give up revenge.”

Zongdeok pointed out in a sinking tone.

Makoto has seen many aspirants for revenge who visit the Snow Oka Research Institute. I've never seen a happy ending for a vengeful man before. Many of the avengers looked ugly, stupid, and distorted in their true eyes. Above all, I was sad to see it. In some cases, revenge was a misunderstanding, and in others, the target was already killed by someone else. I hate the vanity and foolishness of vengeance.

Therefore, the truth was repeated like a spell. They say revenge is a fool's thing. And he identifies himself as the idiot.

"Well then, let's go karaoke now." Oila, you're going to sing a new song by Tsukina Mika, who loves the truth. "

Jen urged with a bouncing voice.

"By the time you were alive, Mika hadn't fallen into the back streets, and she hadn't even become a musician."

“Oila wanted to be a singer and a detective. Tsukina Mika is amazing because she's a singer and an end player. I'm going to admire you. But such a Tsukina Mika is really a merry-go-round."

When the truth broke in, Jen made fun of me.

"Ah, ahhh... you really are so hot Aizawa-kun, aren't you?"

A tall, beautiful girl appeared and called out with an open voice. A girl named Reiko Kikuchi, who was in the same class in junior high school.

"I won't be able to return to Aizawa-kun's race for a while, but I'll definitely see you again." Until you're reincarnated and become Aizawa-kun's favorite girl, you'll have to live a proper life until then. "

"Don't you have a grudge against me?"

"I hate you so much." But I'm also... sorry for everything. There's been a lot of things going wrong, and I'm showing you something that's embarrassing. Ahahah, you were really dressed badly. I feel bad that I killed myself and left a scar on Aizawa-kun's heart. "

With a lonely expression, but the smile in her mouth was unceasing, Reiko told her.

Behind Reiko... there was a gaze of truth from a distance. Yumi Kayama, a teacher in jersey.

"It was a corpse doll." I mean, there's no heart, no soul. "

The teacher who really came out with trouble and even had a physical relationship, does not speak anything. It is divided as something that was not in the truth, but it is still in my memory. That's why we make this kind of half-hearted appearance.

"Are you really going to avenge us?"

Zongdeok genuinely asks.

"There are feelings, but that's not all." There's a lot of mixed feelings. I just want to clear my mind. [M] That's what vengeance is all about. If you pinch it, you'll be selfish. "

“Well, don't let it be just bad ends.”

“Yeah. The act of revenge is ridiculous in itself, but if it leads to something worse, it's a bonus for idiots.”

The truth was told to the advising zodiac.

Wake up. The morning sun is leaking through the gap between the curtains.

In the past few years, since Makoto spent time at the Snow Oka Laboratory in the basement, he did not wake up and see the sun, but he always woke up in the dark, but now he is living in a facility called a bathhouse with dust accumulation, so there is a window in the room and sunlight in the room.

"Tomorrow..."

True consciousness that gets out of bed and looks at the calendar.

In order to achieve one of the three objectives, tomorrow, the truth finally comes to a decisive battle. The other party specified the location. The truth is that we are ready.

This is what we talked about yesterday.



Five people, Yuri, Mizuki, Akiko, Hayama, and Shirokanedaro, got off the train at a station surrounded by trees.

"Is this still Tokyo?" Oh, a forest bath is not for maggots. But in a very nice environment surrounded by greenery, even the maggots' hearts will be purified. Woof, I guess. "

“No, I'm a little out of Tokyo.”

Lily answers Hayama's question.

From here, the bus is supposed to go to the destination, so the five of them wait in front of the bus stop.

"There are only four bottles out in a day."

Mizuki says, looking at the timetable.

"It's good to travel like this together." It's the purpose of the trip itself.

Akiko gave a moody voice while looking out over the surrounding scenery.

"It seems that Akiko's outfit is floating especially in the countryside. Ha ha."

Mizuki teases Akiko in the same Gothic fashion as usual.

"It's nice to stand out." If you say so, even your mom's clothes are the same ~ "

"I'm in and out of Pregnant Saint Village more often than before, so aside from the harmony with the landscape, I don't think I can see it with strange eyes."

When Akiko looks at the lily, it says with a clear face.

The five sat in the bus stop chair for a while, wasting their time.

"Oh, it's perfectly suited to you guys!"

Today, Lily-san.

A long-haired old man and a curly-haired boy appeared and called out. Nakaseko Miyaki, a monster skilled in necromancy and a necromancer.

Yuri-sama, there seems to be a lot more people, but do you need to do that?

Platinum Taro asked with a disgruntled expression.

"I'll add more in Pregnancy Sage Village." I'll do my best to entertain you. "

and lilies.

”Even though Junko was a Tyman, there aren't many adults in the truth.”

"I didn't really tell her to come alone."

As Mizuki teaed, Lily put her hand around her mouth and said with a smile.

If you want to bring a bunch of allies, just bring them along.

"Mom... what are you going to do if I bring all the mice I know?" There are quite a few of them. "

Akiko's anxious face turned to Lily.

"No, thank you." Either way, this is a final match where one of us dies. Be prepared, you true and intimate ladies. If you want to be on the side of the real one, don't worry about it. "

Lily's tone was as usual, but Akiko and Mizuki's complexion had changed dramatically when they heard the words. Akiko tended to fall on her face and fell silent, while Mizuki leaned back with her wrinkles between her brows.

This is also the story of yesterday.
