"What, what? What's up? Hey!"
The collapsed Caizi and the little bird were poked with the tip of the sword, but they did not react in any way as if the power had fallen.
What the hell is going on? I have never seen Caizi in this state in the original work. Is he a good guy to throw away?
"Phew, after all, I'm not as tactful as my mom." Thor, the barrier has been restored... what's wrong with it? "
"Somehow she died suddenly."
"Tell me a little more specifically."
No, I can only say that he really died suddenly.
Look at this, the soul of Caizi caught in the application of "Soul Strike". The one I accidentally grabbed because I came out slippery when I poked it.
Does that mean you're dead? What am I supposed to do with this?
"I can't see, I don't know, I don't know."
"You're still a priest."
"Are you mistaken for a necromancer for a priest?" I mean, what really happened...? "
While saying that, Ethel thrusts an abnormal little bird with her toes. Ethel didn't seem to have done anything about the puzzling colors on her face.
I don't think Joseph did anything when he suddenly collapsed in the middle of the conversation, and Caizi has no reason or ability to get into this state on her own.
And there is no event in my knowledge that Asanaga Ayako would be in such a state... so this is a bit of an unexpected problem.
"(The fragment of the [Phaseolus Crystal Ball] received from Cordelia is connected to the one held by Iris. If nothing abnormal had happened, there would have been no major trouble on the other side, including Joseph.)"
I checked the crystal ball in the small case in my pocket and thought about it.
Dealing with unexpected problems should start with checking the current status. I looked around and saw the difference between Caizi before she fell and after.
"... the boundary of the forbidden section?"
Is there a barrier? Is there a problem with the barrier?
I think Ethel fixed the barrier here in time. Sometimes Caizi collapsed, so there's something there, isn't there?
Whether there was a hole in the barrier.
It can be assumed that the cause is there because other parts that have changed are not seen.
It's quick to cut through the barrier again to see if it's true, but you need to use both your hands to do it.
Using both hands means that I have to take my hands off what looks like the soul of Caizi in my hand, and it floats like a balloon, but I don't know what will happen if I lose sight of it.
In other words, even if you push it into the original body, it will come out again, so you can't leave the library without solving it first.
Caizi has an important role to play, such as betraying Joseph in order to beat him up, telling him where the main body would be lurking somewhere in the city, and getting close to him with a face that doesn't eat anything in order to be caught off guard and succeed in an ambush.
If you die here, you'll miss out on the experience (Joseph) you'll gain. I don't want you to come back from nothing...!
"That's why, daemon." You're a regular in this great library. If you know something, tell me. "
"Humans, you're such a jerk!"
I tried to extract someone I knew from the bookshelf to gather information, but it seems that the local residents who seem to be familiar with the inside of this barrier are in a bad mood.
Is it easy to get distracted because there is not enough cheerfulness in the dimly lit library? Cheerful... I mean, all you need is a light.
Then there's the perfect thing, "Fire Sword."
What do you think? It's getting brighter, isn't it? In addition, you will feel the heat, but it is similar to cheerfulness, so it is good to enjoy it without worrying about it.
“………… with conditions”
Conditions?
"In the future, it is forbidden to relate to me again." Absolutely. If you drink this, I will give you my wisdom for the time being. "
In the "Book of Demons", "The demonic book that describes the wisdom of ten thousand people, and the information itself, created a demon to protect itself. And the demon attacks people to protect information, and writes it into the demon book contained in his head. Ten thousand wisdoms increase by devouring people". In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a kind of database.
There seems to be a clause that comes to mind in response to the current situation, and if you are not told to give your life to obtain that wisdom, you can drink the conditions here.
"By the way, did I imitate you so much that you hated me so much...?" "Since you've attacked me, no matter what I do, it's not my fault...?"
So, that's why this woman collapsed?
"It's a barrier set up in a big library. Unlike the barrier surrounding the cathedral, this one is more elaborate and has no gaps. Therefore, it is impossible to pass the magic wire (circuit) here, and that is probably the cause."
Magic Wire (Circuit)?
"It's like a thread to manipulate a doll. The Dollmaster creates a magic line between himself and the doll, and continues to supply the magic power for operating instructions and driving.”
It seems that the magic books can emit brainwashed radio waves that draw others through the magic wires, and the barrier here is so carefully constructed that it can block the magic wires in order to take countermeasures.
In the case of the doll-user Joseph, he used a magic wire to interfere with the doll, so the puppet (Caizi) collapsed because it broke.
So, how do we do that? Don't tell me you don't have one, do you?
Either someone becomes a new lord, or you put your soul into a new vessel and infuse it with magic power.
I'm telling you, I don't want to take care of you.
"Well, I guess I won't be able to raise the level of [doll role] in time from now on."
No, well, I'll do it if time permits. I'll do it. I want to do it.
If you do that, I can only imagine that Joseph will disappear somewhere and become a spark.
Therefore, the best place to land is to quickly revive Ayako and make her fight strength stronger, and then go beat Joseph. But after all, will the new vessels become the clouds?
"Inevitable or accidental, surprisingly, the doll's daughter has a soul." If so, let's create a magic vessel that reflects that will and moves with magic power. And if there's an original doll, it's easy to use it to make a vessel. "
"Seriously, if you can do it right away, Dad, just do it."
"Hey, Thor, can I take care of that freehand?" If something were to be procured, it wouldn't have accumulated. "
"Then I'll burn it here."
"Show me something that bothers me!?"
"Don't worry, little girl, I won't imitate creating a fire spark that will allow this human to come back later." I don't want to be involved again. "
"Ah, that's right..."
It seems that it has been discovered that I was willing to go and steal the experience points with joy if there was even a small gap that seemed like a cause.
I'm sorry to hear that, but if you know that, you won't be able to do much more. If possible, give them discretion, but don't worry, I'll give you time to ask questions, and let my dad do the work.
The sight from there was something I didn't quite understand because I wasn't wearing magic.
When Caizi's body lay in the middle of the magic circle that the demon unfolded, several balls of light appeared around it.
While manipulating the position of the ball of light, I continue to irradiate something like a laser, as if I were rewriting something, but I cannot understand what it means and what is happening.
"(Deluxe Caesar doll moving in a glow... from 5980 yen...)"
Therefore, I waited for the end of my [Yarn Embroidery] skill level as I greeted it with the appropriate things in front of me.
I want to make a farewell gesture, but I have Caizi's soul in one hand, so it becomes inefficient.
"Fire Sword" is a place where fire is strictly forbidden, and "Soul Strike" is not efficient unless it is used as a method of whole-body practice or group practice.
Therefore, the only skill that can earn more experience points within the range of action you can do now is the [Thread Embroidery] skill, so please wait...
"(Caizi's soul... this shape... looks familiar in the boxing gym)"
Was that definitely a punching ball or something? It was a hoop-shaped thing hanging from the top.
In the original game, there was no combination technique or mixing skill by "Yarn Embroidery" and "Soul Strike", so it is unclear whether the soul can be tied up with yarn, but if so, could that punching ball be reproduced with Caizi's soul?
I have not actually used punching balls in my previous life, so I don't know how effective they are in their own right.
However, since you hit a hanging soul, I think you will get more [Soul Strike] experience points than usual. By using thread to capture and hold the soul, you may also get experience points on the [Yarn Embroidery] side.
Each efficiency may not be good, but if two kinds of experience points are entered at the same time, isn't it worth considering? At least I think it would be a good reason to try it.
So... wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This soul is Ayako Asanaga's soul became a bargaining partner at the rising dawn.
Having become a soul-only state in [Underworld], I was well aware of my five senses, wasn't I?
There is no guarantee that Ayako is not aware of us now. If you remember that you hung yourself with a thread in such a state, and then hit you with a bump, it will definitely resonate with the subsequent negotiations.
If only Iris were here, I'd make sure of that... damn it, I'd be told to stop it. After all, is it dangerous to try punching balls?
(But isn't the spirit of the challenge important?)
It's always important to have a spirit of challenge, in other words, courage.
Even if the chances of winning are low, there are a number of cases in the world where success was achieved by pushing with courage in your heart.
Therefore, even if there is no proof, Caizi cannot perceive anything at present, and no matter what she does, she will not remember after the resurrection, and the possibility that I will succeed in the combination of "Yarn Embroidery" and "Soul Strike" in one shot is not 0.
If it's not 0, then maybe it's okay to bet on that possibility and act on it?
"Is there anything that can be done, or can't be done?" In other words, that's the great man of the past... yoo-hoo! Well then, let's do it. "
"It's done, humans. After that, you can restore your soul."
"Damn it!!"
Closure report that is told at the point where it is necessary to make a call.
Why would I want to be disturbed like this, I had to raise my voice against irrationality.
