There was a guest visiting the Dai Moji Temple. A necromancer named Elliot Green, who has lived in the village for a long time.
On that day, Elliot was reading one of the picture books stored in the temple. The picture book was a substitute for Kijima's ghost tools.
"There are several picture books related to Kijima's ghost tools." I've heard that some of them are written about this temple. No, as a monk, your nose is high. "
Is that what makes my nose so high?
Elliot is dumbfounded at the monk who says boastfully while brewing tea.
Elliot carefully handles the stored spells, artifacts, and magic items, so the monks can be trusted with peace of mind. At first, the monk was reluctant to allow it, but Elliot himself offered new spells, so he dropped it.
"The story of this Kijima ghost is particularly interesting." Is there really such a thing as anti-soul magic? "
Elliot says, pointing to the picture book. Actually, this picture book was delivered to the temple yesterday. Elliot, who heard the story, came to browse.
"As far as I can see from the contents of the picture book, I don't want to bring people back to life, I just want to summon the spirit."
The monk says, turning a blind eye to a picture book titled Kijima's Antispiritual Incense.
"Nevertheless, if it is true, it will overturn the roots of necromancy." The soul that flew completely into the underworld is not something that we can manage with human power. "
Elliot spoke in a slightly excited tone.
"Or maybe I just saw a phantom, or maybe I was summoned by a spirit that didn't travel completely into the underworld." Either way, I'd like to actually get this demonic tool. "
Carrying a cup of tea in his mouth, Elliot calms down a bit and mouths a sceptical word.
"Is it true that there are picture books?" The authors are all the same. "
"There is a possibility that the picture book is a fake. The more you doubt it, the harder it is to believe it.”
As the monk said, Elliot was still skeptical.
"By the way, Monk, this village seems to be in turmoil again from today." And this time, I was going to jump into this fight. "
"Huh? Seriously? Monk, you're in trouble... hahaha... what's going on?"
He was a lonely monk, but Elliot remained his true face, so he asked, his face looked bad.
"Rainbow shore lily request." We're supposed to be helping her with her enemies. I hope my house isn't destroyed again. I've just finished the restoration. "
Hmmm. By the way, Ser Elliot, is the important tea plantation back on track?
"It's going to take longer in the tea plantation..."
Shortly after Elliot answered the monk's question, the bell rang.
"Oops, a guest is here. Excuse me."
The monk heads to the front door and uses the camera to check on the guests.
"Oh, oh, it was you." Thank you for coming. The monk is excited. What happened to the other children? "
Being a known person, the monk opened the door and greeted the guest with a smile.
"It's work! And I had a dangerous feeling that I was alone!"
Seeing the monk's face, Tsukina Mika said with a cheerful smile.
Lutz, a boy with a bandage all over his body, ran away from a concrete building with cracks all over it and a dirty surface.
"Hmph, it's such a trap to enter a building like this, isn't it?"
"I agree with Midori."
But it's a stone's throw.
"It's like a trap, so don't stop talking about it."
Midori, Maya, Yaya, and Makoto say it in front of the old building.
Additionally, you can feel quite strong spiritual power from the building ~
“The building itself is under some form of strong supernatural force.”
"At that point, it's already a trap for you."
Midori and Yaya reported and said with an unpleasant face.
Truth cut through the open door of the building in silence. Midori and the Beef Village sisters also look at each other and then follow the real story.
There are several doors leading up to the entrance.
"The cinema?"
Midori muttered when she saw the structure of the entrance and the door. It was somehow reminiscent of a cinema.
When Makoto opened the door, it was a large hall and filled with countless seats. And there was a stage where the curtain went down.
"Welcome to the Virtual Spirit Theater" "Spectre Theater" "
Lutz, on the stage's sleeve, greeted her happily, put one hand on her chest, and bowed deeply.
The show is called 'The Giant of Fire and the Giant of Ice.'
Lutz told me that a giant with vermilion all over his body and flames all over his body and a giant with light blue all over and frozen all over his body appeared on both sides of Lutz.
"This is a virtual spirit just like Yaki." A pseudo-spirit body without a soul that projects residual thoughts into the image. You can't do anything with Shino's technique, can you? "
Midori said.
"Virtual spirits are a trend among recent necromancers." The application power is amazing, so you don't have to bother using real spirits with souls. I have a lot of time to procure souls, and it's very difficult to maintain them and store them. Virtual spirits are clearing those problems, and the application of power is amazing. "
Even if you look at Yaki's magic, you can see it.
Truth says to Lutz, who speaks proudly.
"However, Yuri-sama was distant until recently." It's the necromancer who manipulates the soul that has such an old obsession. But necromancy is also a trend of the times, and lilies seem to have changed their minds reluctantly recently. "
When Lutz spoke to him, the curtain rose. At the same time, light overflows from the curtain and the surrounding area is enveloped in dazzling light.
The light quickly vanished. Shortly after the light went out, the surroundings changed. Both the chair and the stage are gone, and the scenery of the alpine meadows is spread out. The clouds flowing in the sky are nearby, and there are flocks of sheep. You can also see houses with windmills.
"The view has changed." "Pastoral."
"This is just illusion." We can break this. Shino is strong against illusion, isn't he? Because there is an illusion technique that breaks any illusion. "
Yaya and Maya muttered and Midori insisted.
"Stop it. It's a stage I've taken care of, and I won't give you a bill of lading if I do that."
Lutz's expression clouded when he heard Midori's dialogues.
"I'm going to ask you guys to join me in my play." But this is still a test. You guys can join in the mood for practice. "
"It's not about watching a play, it's about starring in it."
Listening to Lutz's dialogue, Truth decided so.
"Yeah, you don't have to watch the script. Since possessed virtual spirits teach dialogue on the spot, there is no need to memorize it. Some ad libs are okay."
"Hmph, it's kind of weird that it's a tight trap." It doesn't look like a trap. "
After analyzing the surroundings, Midori says:
“I agree with Midori. You can see it's not a trap.”
“I still don't believe it. You still have to suspect it."
They expressed different opinions in Yaya and Maya.
Is there any danger?
If you don't do what you say, I'll check the truth that you're not going to give me the bill.
"Not at all this time." Because it's a practice. "
Next time, the next production will be dangerous, right?
Yes, I'll give you my note if you do a good job.
To confirm the truth, Lutz said with a smile.
"Tell me your names."
Asked by Lutz, each of the four introduces themselves.
"Yaya and Maya are the icy giants." Midori plays the role of the Giant of Fire. Truth is the role of the mediator's traveler. I'm the narrator. "
Lutz flies his fingers and instructions.
"It's a practice, but I'll film it." By the way, the production will do a different performance than this one at a later date. "
"Different exercises and real life..." "Later..."
Shortly after Yaya and Maya muttered, changes occurred in the four bodies.
"There's a mirror, you can look at it."
"My hair is also blue. Such an ice giant."
"My face hasn't changed. But these primitive clothes....."
Yaya and Maya groan at the color of their bodies and their clothes. Her skin turned light blue and her chest and waist were covered with fur.
You had a pretty big chest, didn't you?
Hey!
"Brother..."
Listening to the true words, Yaya and Maya shouted angrily at the same time, and Midori leaked a dumb voice. Midori's body color also changed, and she turned into a primitive human look. True Western attire, but no physical changes.
"No, I was told by Yukioka that I should properly say and praise to the woman about her breasts, so I put it into practice, but was it a lie...?"
"It's not a lie, it's just sexual harassment." Jun-san is Jun-san and she's crazy. Even if she's a woman, she's a woman's boobs ski, so my real brother won't take it seriously. "
"I'm sorry, but I just swallowed the words of Yukioka, and the worst thing is Yukioka."
Midori stabbed him with a nail and apologized to him, but he also made excuses.
Junko is a lesbian?
"I don't even feel like I have that subtly."
Gaya asks, and the truth answers.
“The Giant of Fire and the Giant of Ice are very close and always quarrel.”
Ignoring the four exchanges, Lutz narrates.
(Hey, Flame. You're always hot and annoying. Go somewhere far away)
A voice echoed in Yaya and Maya's head.
This is what you call it.
Sisters who murmured at the same time.
"Hey, Flame, you're always hot and annoying." Go somewhere far away. "
"Kat..."
Yaya and Maya spoke the dialogue, but Lutz made a bad cut.
"Why?" "I followed the dialogue of virtual spirits."
"I'm sorry. I thought it would be better to split the dialogue between the two of us rather than just talking to each other at the same time."
Lutz orders.
"Hey, Flame. You're always in hot weather."
It's annoying.
"Go somewhere far away."
"Kat! That's a funny way to share it." I'm wearing it in a strange place. "
Lutz made an aroused gesture.
Mahjong came in in a strange place, and Mahjong is bad.
"Because I wanted to say the part that was annoying..."
Yaya complains and Maha says she's sorry.
After that, the four of them continued the dialogue practice.
"This time, just grab your senses." The spirits and virtual spirits will also participate in the production. The real life is in jeopardy, so keep your eyes peeled. "
"That's a lot of orders." "Only one person is very serious."
"I know this guy is serious, but..."
"Why do you feel like you're being mixed up with something like this?"
Lutz said in a refreshing tone, and Yaya, Maja, Makoto, and Midori said in a daze.
"I told you I would mix my soul in the real thing." It's for them. "
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Midori asks, listening to Lutz's dialogue.
"There are many spirits in the underworld that can't become a Buddha, but there are half of them in this world." We necromancers deal with such spirits, but we know that we should moderately stimulate them to maintain their quality control and retention. The evil spirits and resentful spirits are the ones who have lost most of their thinking abilities and gone mad, so it's not very subtle. "
Lutz explains.
"I also found that making people perform differently, and mixing the living into the play, will give them a better stimulus. I usually ask the villagers to pay for their cooperation, but this time I hope you guys who are Lily-sama's guests can help me."
I see.
Shortly after hearing Lutz's story, the door of the theatre opened.
The girl, who was barefoot in her dirty dress, was truly familiar.
"Hey... what are you doing in here on your own, Miko?"
"I knocked." It's not self-righteous. But I'm going to let you do it on your own because I got annoyed by using Residence Guard. "
To blame Lutz, Miko Imino said with a cool face.
