Episode 48.5 (1/2)
”Now then. I believe that was a month after you entered into my apprenticeship. You said I'm Erushira the witch, didn't you.”
”Yea.”
”You said this then. That you noticed my presence the moment you walked through this town's gate, and that I was no human.”
”Yea.”
”You possess an ability to detect life forms over a wide area, with humans shown as red, animals as green and magic beasts as well as apparitions as blue. You discovered a strong blue dot of light not unlike the boss of a grand dungeon when you arrived at this town, and that was me.”
”Yeah. A light which rivals that of a dragon kind.”
”I'm sure you have no clue just how much of a shock those words gave me.”
”You didn't look like you were at all.”
”It was enough to nearly stop my beating heart, you know. Listen now. I am for sure not an ordinary human. I had been turned into an undying human by way of an immortalization art. Yet I am a human. That was the one truth I never even questioned.”
”Hold it. You said this at the time. 'Some Revenant-type apparitions are originally humans. I'm one among such cases.' Or something like that.”
”You really have a good memory, don't you. That was me trying to be self-deprecating.”
”Self-deprecating?”

”Yep. I wanted you to deny me there. Like, 'No you're no apparition.'”
”But, you couldn't use
on yourself anymore after turning into an undead. Those words came out of your mouth.”
”Yep. That's exactly correct. I could no longer cast
after becoming an undead. Because the light
is the light of ruins to undead. But you know. I have a physical body unlike Soul Ogre-type Apparitions such as Hollow Shrieks, White Ice Princess and Dark Spirits. I retain my memory and will unlike Specters-type Apparitions like White Spectres, Cursed Imps, or Carrion King. I have mind and heart. My body is also a living breathing one unlike Specters or Apparitions. Yes, just like humans.”
”Humans don't get erased by
though.”
”Are you really branding me an Apparition by fixating on that one point?”
