Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

Dr. Cullen showed up in the auditorium about half an hour (* fifteen minutes) behind schedule.

Long brunette, calm old woman, but hasty all day.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. Many of you may not know. In fact, at this time of year, ice will start to be sold out of the north of the empire. Rodney's confectionery store uses it..."

From there, Dr. Cullen gave an overview of Rodney's specialty ice confectionery and how difficult it was to buy a product from an established confectionery store and how hard I had to get it, and the class started about a minute late with plenty of time.

"Today I will describe the 'curse', which will be a rather special area, even in the dark attribute magic. Famous for…"

Dr. Cullen's lecture was quite interesting.

The 'curse' of this world is divided into two main categories, he said.

One is a technique applied to swords, armor, ornaments, etc., which causes harm to the user. It's called a spell.

The other is something that curses them directly. The subject's body carries a curse, usually with powerful effects.

...... just to be clear, they are both so hard to deal with.

The cursed goods were also present in previous life, but are mostly the product of coincidence. Make it for you, what are you going to do? You give it to someone you want to curse?

The latter seems strong, but what a curse we need to get close to. You can have a bow or a sword. I can physically kill you.

I also nodded that the 'curse' in this world was minor.

Curse seems to be out of specialty, too, Dr. Karen, who is now a magic drill instructor for dark attributes.

Four attribute magic seems to be too specialized in versus monsters, and the concept is a lot different from previous life magic in the first place.

The magic of previous life was "Curse" was one of the protagonists.

From far away, I can exercise the art of disguising myself as a disease and being sure that I can kill you.

There are a few drawbacks, but there is no more powerful technique if it is limited to interpersonal.

Different cultures make different sorceries.

"It's time. I want to end up around here today."

The class ended in a good place in Kiri, but I definitely don't think it's going as planned.

Dr. Cullen said this all of a sudden around the corner where everyone cleaned up their writing gear to go to the next class.

"And then I'll be in touch with you all. All lectures in ten days are adjourned. Every year, the opening ceremony is supposed to be held on that day, so you're all off."

The inside of the auditorium squeaks.

Some cheered.

A ceremony. Probably for the great, calling nobles and officials or something.

"I just need your help with the two students. Mr. Amu and Mr. Eefa."

"Oh, wow, me?

A voice raised like a surprise next door.

Dr. Cullen continues to sneer.

"Two chief and second passers will receive parchment (scroll) in the Rodney Forest in the name of the students enrolled this year that day, in advance of the celebration."

Here in the woods?

"As you all know, the interest here in the school city of Rodney is in the forests of Rodney, a treasure trove of rare herbs, and the great sages and their disciples who stood beside them. Behind the woods are the temple traces of those who used to live in this land in the ancient days of Tai, and it has been said that various medicinal herbs were not collected artificially or that it is some sort of source of magic left in the ruins that is growing them… etc."

The teacher continues.

"It's a dubious story of authenticity, but the Great Sage and his disciples had the greatest respect for the Temple. Eventually, even after the school was founded, the philosophy was passed down, and even now, every year at the ceremonial fold, freshmen of excellence are supposed to go to worship."

"Worship, what exactly do I do?

Amu raises his voice as he clings his cheek cane.

"As I said earlier. Put the parchment (scroll) bearing the freshman's name in the dust of the temple ruins, that's all. Worship is only a formality. And then I'm done bringing back last year's parchment."

"What part of the forest is there a temple?

"It'll take a little while, but it's a walk away with no problems. You don't have to worry so much, Mr. Amu. It's an annual event."

"Yeah, I'm glad."

Amu says with his eyes closed.

What is it, a surprisingly discreet character?

But... I don't even know.

Forests are inherently dangerous places.

The managed Rodney Forest is probably one of the few exceptions.

There's just been a demonic raid now. I had a bad feeling about going into that forest where Galeos was based at this time.

And sometimes I'm concerned in the first place.

Right. This is...,

"But it's a traditional event, and it's a very honorable thing. On that day..."

"Doctor."

I lifted my hand and blocked the teacher's story.

"Ah, yes. I don't know, Mr. Lamplog."

"When one of you quits, one of you goes into the woods alone?

"No... then you'll be asking three students to represent you, won't you? There are also monsters in the Rodney Forest that are once weak, so being alone..."

"I see. Thank you."

I turned my face to Efa and said with a voice I dared to hear around.

"Efa, resign."

The auditorium squatted.

Efa pounds for a moment and says in a sad voice after a little thought.

"Oh, so, but seika, dear. I, if I may…"

"Didn't you hear that? I said resign."

"... ok"

Efa stands up and bows her head toward Dr. Cullen.

"Doctor, I'm sorry. That's why I can't take it from you."

"... what is it?" "Do you want the ceremony so badly?" "You regret losing to slaves." "Shame on the nobles." "Without the magic of your concubine..."

Greater stirring.

Dr. Cullen was also frowning.

"Mr. Lamplog. You're not very impressed with such an act."

"It's a traditional event, isn't it? Then you shouldn't let the slaves do it. I'll take your place, Doctor."

That's what I said, take a seat, and leave the auditorium behind.

Behind it, Efa rushed after him.

****

"I'm sorry, Efa. Did you want to leave the ceremony?

"Yeah. Nothing."

When I asked Efa as she walked, she shook her neck sideways at her usual condition.

"Seika-kun kind of stood out for his evil, so he just got on."

"Oh, I knew you'd suck it"

I've been thinking about this since I taught you how to study, but this kid is smart.

"Hey, how did you do that? Seika-kun, you really don't care about ceremonies."

"Was that how you imagined me? Exactly."

"After all...... for Amu?

says Efa.

"Did you deliberately evil stand out and keep Amu from saying a lot more?

"Well, that's one of the reasons."

……

Efa shuts up for a little while and then asks for a blur.

"... Seika, did you prefer that kind of kid?

"What?"

"Because I've always been obsessed with Amu... you're beautiful. Sleek, beautiful hair..."

I laughed unexpectedly after being distracted for a while.

"No, no. I just want to be friends."

"Why not? He's not a great nobleman, and I'll say worse..."

"It's..."

I got a little lost and decided to be honest.

'Cause I'm strong.'

……

"You were watching Efa, too, weren't you? Where she defeats the Lesser Demon. That talent is probably one of the few in this world. I want to be one of them. Absolutely."

"... not me, no?

"Hmm?"

Say as Efa thought.

"I can be strong, too! I kind of have a feeling about that. The spirits are gathering little by little, and they're getting to hear difficult requests. One day, I'm sure I'll be able to do something amazing. I'm sure Amu won't beat you..."

I stop and laugh and say to Efa.

"I'm sorry, Efa, but I guess I'm short on strength"

"Huh..."

"Can you imagine? The way you are honored, feared, and snuggled by the strength of many. That girl, she will eventually. That's all I've got."

"... well"

Efa shrugged so small that she had the usual grin.

"… then I will cooperate. I'm with you in the girls' dorm, so there might be some trigger."

"Oh. Please."

"But... I don't want you to do anything like that again if you can, I guess. Seika-kun is being said badly because it makes me feel nasty to hear it..."

"Mmm... ok. It's about Efa's reputation."

That's what I say, I'll stroke your soft blonde hair.

Oh I don't actually hate that kind of bad prominence... it's my bad habit.

"By the way, what's the rest of the reason?

"Oh. To make sure Efa didn't complain about saying no, and because I wanted to finish the conversation on that occasion. And..."

I say.

"Something's going to happen again."
