38 The Second Ghost Appears! (2/2)

That reminds me when I first met Mimily, she said she wanted to search for her parents because they didn't return home while traveling.

It was an accidental reunion here.... but, Mimily's mother, who was translucent, was dead!?

「What, did you say Mimily!?」

Then, from the entrance of the arena, a beastman appeared.

Mimily who saw that shouted 「Father!」

A family reunion.

However, the dad wasn't translucent.

「Oh, Mimily, long time no see. I didn't expect for us to meet in such a place. Are you doing well?」

「I am fine, but.... Mother, why is she translucent?」

「Ufufu. Can't you tell? Mother died」

Her mother said that in a relaxed tone.

Mimily who heard that stiffen with a blank expression.

Normally, if you heard that the mother you were looking for was dead, you'd be grieving.

But, how would you respond when there's a ghost in front of you and she's smiling nonchalantly?

I won't understand that, but Mimily seems to be taken back.

「So, that was that.....」

Mimily who barely understood was sitting on a seat.

「There is a story I will tell you when the match is over」

Mimily's mother tells her as she goes up to the middle of the arena.

The the match started.

Her mother shot offensive magic and made the golem unable to fight in a blink of an eye.

S,strong.....!

And she's level 250!

What does this mean!?

I thought the highest level you could reach was level 100, even if you dedicated your entire life!?

This is bad.

Eri can only control level 200 magic.

There's a level 50 difference, and the time limit of level-lease is only three minutes.

A minute pa.s.ses by as the desperate situation worsens.

「Onii-chan, that person is strong than Eri.....?」

Eri muttered while on my lap.

「A,a.....there's a huge difference. Perhaps, we will win the final match... what will you do? Since it's a battle between ghosts, you may not be able to nullify the attacks unlike before. Do you want to give up?」

If we give up just before the finals, we'd be in second place.

The runner-up's prize money was ten gold coins, so it's still fine.

「Onii-chan, Eri will do it. Because I practiced for a week! Even if I lose, I will give it my all!」

Eri said something cool.

However, I'm worried.

Since even a ghost will disappear if purified.

However, since the opponent is Mimily's mother, I think she won't do it to the point she is purified.

「Mimily, Eri will fight your mother. Okay?」

「....It's fine. I won't be able to sleep at night as I'm anxious to why mother is a ghost」

The reunion with her mother, it still hasn't been evening.

「Then, let's go directly to your mother and father! Let's go to the waiting room!」

Aria caught Mimily's hand and started sprinting really fast.

Me and Eri followed.

When we entered the waiting room, Mimily's mother and father were waiting.

「Ara, Mimily. Welcome」

「Mother!」

Mimily leaps to her mother.

But she was a ghost.

She pa.s.ses through her translucent body and falls on the floor.

「Mo, Mimily, you have to be careful. Aren't you already fifteen years old?」

That's wrong, mother.

[TL Note: He says okasan here.]

When you reunite with your mother for the first time in a while and has become a ghost, anyone would be restless.

Because it's not the setting where you have to be careful.

「I have a story. When your mother fell into a pitfall in the dungeon, she died. And when I noticed, I was already a ghost」

[TL Note: She talks in first-person, then third-person then back to first-person]

I see. The story was fast.

「Sorry, Mimily! Your father.... I couldn't protect your mother...!」

Mimily's father grieves with regrets.

「....But, mother is here」

「Oh, that's right. That's why father don't be sad」

「I'm not sad...」

「Well, it is terrible. Since your wife and mother died, it's nothing heartless」

Mimily's mother puts her hand on her cheeks and laughs 「Arara」

This is a weird situation!

You should be more saddened!

I mean, she is dead!

I think it's difficult, but do your best!

「By the way, these people are? I wonder if your Mimily's friends?」

「Yup, friends」

「Ara, ma. Thank you for taking care of my daughter」

「A~, e, likewise」

Because she bowed down to me, I also lowered my head and bowed....These coming days... I don't know what will happen.

「Onii-chan, it's time for the next match, let's go!」

「Oh, I see.....Then we'll be leaving, excuse us」

「Wa~i, do your best!」

「I'll do my best~」

Ghosts waving at each other.

Such easygoing dead people.
