"Aurelian's Enchantment......?
Lara repeats the reasoning I told her.
"Yes."
"You mean that was evoked on Cultural Development Day? Why..."
"I don't know, I don't know why. But was Cultural Development Day also the anniversary of the defeat of the Fool King? I guess you don't have a good feeling about that."
Nevertheless, it should have been 500 years before Aurelian, the fool king, was debated.
For 500 years, I didn't know there was going to be any demonic thoughts... sounds like a pretty strong resentment.
The king of one kingdom was overthrown. Even after 500 years of it, the fact that demonic thoughts continue to linger… would be quite powerful and troublesome.
But.
"What, you don't have to worry. On a fun day called the Cultural Festival, it's a hundred million more troubles, but I'll take care of the magic."
And don't make me nervous, I told Lara.
"Oh well...... yeah. But I can help, too. I want to help Kurt."
"Helpful"
"So what do we do first? If the demon minds burst out, it'll be a big deal, won't it? The cultural festival has been cancelled now..."
"No, you don't have to cancel the cultural festival itself"
When I said that, Lara gave me a decent look.
"Uh... but"
"Demon Mind is me... no, it's just something we have to handle back there. Such as canceling a fun cultural festival, that's what fool kings think."
If, as I presume, this is the devil's notion of a fool king.
The fact that he's going out of his way to set up a Cultural Development Day (Culture Day) should mean that the Fool King doesn't think well of cultural festivals.
And yet if we cancel the cultural festival?
That might reinforce the fool king's obsession. Some resentments are made stronger by the nearer achievement of the purpose.
Perhaps the ultimate goal of King Fool is not just the suspension of Cultural Development Day.
Otherwise, there was no way that magic would have lingered for 500 years.
"So the cultural festival continues. Right, should I tell Maries and Cynthia? I want you to help. And Avril seems to be coming to the cultural festival. If you see him, let's speak up."
"Ugh, ugh!
Lara grips her fist and puts her strength into her eyes.
That's settled.
"Well... while we're at it, we're about to have a new demonic mindset"
"Ha, we have to go fast!
I haven't fully woken up yet, but Devil's Mind is about to be born inside the school building.
Compete for a moment.
"Hih!
Lara's hug lifted her voice like a surprise.
"We're gonna use metastatic magic."
Activate metastatic magic.
At that time, Lara looked at Gioharwa's invitation, the prize of the Devil's Sword Games.
The tournament became Ariel on the way, but it could be called my victory.
When it's all over, we'll come back for it.
◆ ◆
Metastatic magic succeeded and we arrived before the Third Class.
"What's here..."
"Oh, that's Cynthia's class"
I can't help it, but the people at school don't know anything about magic, so they all enjoyed the cultural festival.
"Ah, Kurt..."
Cynthia glimpses her face from inside the classroom.
"Cynthia, what are you wearing?
"Haunted."
Cynthia turns on the spot in a crooked fashion.
Cynthia was wearing a big white cloth. Are you going to haunt...... it's also painted on your face and very cute.
"Cynthia's class... you mean the haunted mansion is out there"
"Yes..."
Haunted... is a being whose dead 'soul' embodies or behaves like a living person to surprise people.
Unlike undead demons, it is also said that neither weapons nor magic work. On the contrary, standing in front of the existence of haunting makes it impossible to use magic.
There are stories like that, and there are cultures that are afraid of haunts... but that doesn't seem so different from a thousand years ago.
Cynthia, I need you to listen to me for a second.
"What...?
Cynthia twists her neck.
I let her know about the exorcism.
Then.
"Oh dear......!
and opened his eyes wide.
"Apparently, Devil's Mind is about to arise from this haunted mansion. So let me go inside, okay?
When asked so, Cynthia moved her neck vertically.
"Now...... there's nobody in there. So if you're going to succeed or fail in your magic thoughts, of course now..."
"That's convenient"
When there's a man in there, we have to take care not to hurt him.
"Suppose we go then? Hmm... Lara, what's going on?
As she tried to take Cynthia inside the haunted mansion, Lara butted in and didn't try to move a step from there.
"Ha, I... thought I wasn't good at haunting"
"What are you talking about? What's inside is a crop, even if it's haunted. You've been fighting more terrible demons than you've ever been haunted, haven't you?
"That's right... Ah, me! I'll let you know, Maries! Let's split up in two hands!
"Wait --"
She ran off to our class before trying to stop Lara.
... Fair enough.
Let's just say I leave Lara with the messenger to Maries.
"So let's just get back on our minds and get in"
"Yeah."
Dive into the black curtain that was hanging at the entrance to the haunted mansion and step in slowly.
Dim, creepy dolls were also placed everywhere inside, which gave a pretty good vibe.
Is it time to move on to midday?
The humans are here!
Suddenly a voice comes out of the front.
……
Cynthia swallowed her breath and held my arm.
Looking forward, there was a little doll floating alone.
"Um, I possessed that doll... something like that"
To my question, the doll just laughed "kekeke" and didn't return the answer.
"Out of the way. If you defy me, I'll handle it."
"Don't let the human race get better!
The doll emits magic.
Because magic is a mass of magic in itself, magic can also be exercised in this way.
The doll fired a blue and white flaming spear at us.
"Hmm."
That's boring.
I use junction magic to prevent it, and I use magic to fight back.
But the firespear I tried to unleash was stopped before it was activated by the opponent's treacherous magic.
"Mm."
"Kekeke! You know Ka? In front of the haunts, you won't even be able to activate magic!
A voice can be uttered in a tone that sounds silly from a doll.
I see. I didn't expect you to prevent my magic with treacherous magic, even though you let it go properly with lower magic.
"Cynthia. Can you attack with magic, too?
"... no. I've been trying to cover you with magic for a while now... but they're using treason magic and I can't activate it..."
"Can I be serious?
Nodding as Cynthia seemed to regret it.
I didn't know even Cynthia's magical opponent would succeed in treason magic.
With the green magic she has, unlocking the trap is suitable for installation. It uses a complicated magic formula.
Analyzing that Cynthia magic formula doesn't seem to be any less elephant trash.
Most of all.
"It's foolish to just do that and get on with it. It's just coarse garbage at best."
When I provoked it, I was able to confirm that the obsession that was riding on the doll became even stronger.
You're in a hurry, Dana. You can even attack with magic... die...!
Another blue-white spear will be fired from the doll, but I will immediately defeat it with treason magic.
And as it were, I skewered (...) Firespeare.
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
"I just tried to make it a little complicated magic ceremony so I couldn't beat it with treacherous magic. I put together a magic ceremony with a hundredth of the power, but this time I did it with a tenth of the effort."
He mistook the power he didn't mean to see as my full strength.
Most importantly, even if it is too complicated, there will be a delay of 0,01 seconds to form a magic formula, which has few advantages... it is not difficult for me to change the magic formula so that it is not erased by treacherous magic.
"Good for you. You've succeeded in getting me to be serious ten (...) times more than the first."
"Happy or What Nee......"
The magic in the doll gradually diminishes.
Eventually, the doll remained intact, and only the demons inside vanished without a trace.
