549 547 College Guardian Spirit (1/2)
Weena Lane showed me ahead, it was like her office. Sitting on a couch placed in that corner, Fran faces Wiener Lane.
”Let me name you again. It's Weena Lane. I'm the head of this magic school.”
”Fran the Rank B Adventurer. This is Ursi.”
”I'm the Master of Intelligence Weapon.”
”Master? That's the name?
”Oh.”
”I'm only called Dean or Principal or Dean, too. It's a little intimate.”
The Weena Lane reaction is still thin. No, it's not that I hate it when you have to surprise me, but compared to people who've ever spotted or found out who I am, I'm pretty calm.
But I soon found out why.
”Hasn't it been about a thousand years since I've met an intelligence wepon capable of decent conversation?
”Besides me, do you know Intelligence Weapon?
”Well, something long lived. I know it's not enough with one hand. This is the second time you've had a human stinking sword since we were able to have a conversation. Most Intelligence Weapon was going crazy...”
Oh, my God, they've met Intelligence Weapon many times. So I guess you weren't very surprised to see me.
And you're a crazy intelligence wepon. Fanatics also said that normally with people's consciousness in the body of a sword, they're more likely to go mental crazy. I feel like I want to see you, but don't be scared...
However, I found that Intelligence Weapon was not the first thing I saw for her. Rather, it seems that Weena Lane's interests are geared towards Ursi.
Ursi, who is miniaturized and sitting next to Fran, and Weena Lane stare at each other jizzily. Well, Ursi is seen on the scale, he's just nervous.
”What's wrong with Ursi?
”Huh? Yeah, because it was the first species I saw. It's been a long time since I've seen a warcraft in its entirety, huh? Well, there's more to know than that, isn't there?
”Is Zero Thread okay with Colt?
”I'm fine there. 'Cause you're tying your actions after sealing your evil with my surgery, and the spirits are watching you even more.”
After all, it seems that Zero Thread's evil was reduced as a result of what Weena Lane did. And not just that, tied with something like a slave covenant, plus spiritual surveillance?
”I'm not tying words, but I guess you're appealing to the attitude that strangely important is following this one. Well, it looks like the vegan came out for a moment when you attacked me, but you didn't fight back, did you? It's making it impossible to fight in the academy.”
Sure, Zero Thread only did enough to stick his hands out to prevent this one from attacking. After our first attack failed, we should have had as many opportunities to fight back.
”In the first place, why is Zero Thread here?
The trigger was yesterday.
Under Weena Lane, they've been contacted about dangerous criminals lurking inside the autonomous community. It is not well known in this country, but it is said that there are prizes in other countries.
The story was that the adventurer had already set out to capture him, but he had been repelled many times. Even if the dead were not out, their power was considered overwhelming.
So this time, Weena Lane herself was set to go out. Because of the flair of that martial arts tradition, the amount of it, they tend to think that Weena Lane is handling it at any given time, but they try to leave it up to them if they can handle it outside of her when it comes to out-of-school cases.
”Otherwise, we won't grow backwards. You can't handle a small case, can you?
Conversely, that's all that matters if Weena Lane responds.
Weena Lane then used magic and other tricks to find zero threads and capture them at the end of the battle. But I find out there's a Zero Thread with me.
”A kid named Romeo?
”Yeah, that's right. Romeo Magnolia. I've decided to protect that child.”
He was still walking with me.
I heard about Weena Lane being a child lover, and I can understand making the decision to protect Romeo. If I were Amanda, the same child-loving, I would do the same.
But Fran was leaning his neck.
”Why shouldn't I kill Zero Thread?
”That's the trouble... There is a close connection between Romeo and Arre to the subordination agreement. Besides, if one hurts, the other hurts, it's a nasty connection.”
”Zero lead did it?
”The other way around. Maybe Romeo unconsciously made the contract. Maybe it's Magnolia's blood business...”
”Is that possible? You're just a little kid, aren't you? And Magnolia's blood?
I know you're a nobleman, but is this some kind of special house?
”Once upon a time, there was a special house on the Goldician continent that preserved the seal of the shards of the Evil God. Magnolia, wisteria, camelia. Those three human beings were special blood muscles capable of communicating with evil gods and manipulating their power. I was using that characteristic to perform a ritual to quell the evil gods... The Dragon Man destroyed us and took away our shards.”
I guess the shards of the Evil God that Trismegistos used to produce the Great Warcraft were the shards that those three houses were protecting.
”A child named Romeo is a descendant of Magnolia. And it's ancestral, and its blood is intensely expressed.”
Could it also be because of that blood that Murreria and Zero Thread are strangely obsessed with Romeo? No, I'm sure it is.
”Anyway, as long as you have that contract, you can kill me, and Romeo can't just do it.”
And they're not the only ones.
By staying with Zero Thread for a long time, Romeo's young body is said to be contaminated with evil. There is a phenomenon of evil drunkenness that occurs by being exposed to strong evil, but it seems to be the condition that made that one even worse.
It is life-threatening if we have to cure it, but it is dangerous to keep the two apart for a long time in relation to the contract.
In the end, it was necessary to bring Zero Thread with us to protect and treat Romeo in college.
”So, with my power, I significantly sealed the power of Zero Thread and decided to keep it in the college until Romeo's treatment was complete... Treat it like a temporary worker. I'll explain why you do it.”
”Mmm.”
”First of all, this School of Magic is protected by powerful guardian spirits and their family spirits. That's how hundreds of spirits are watching the college as it defends itself.”
'Maybe that mysterious attack that prevented Fran from attacking first...'
”He's the senior spirit in charge of monitoring Zero Thread. In that case, it's more like stopping the violence perpetrated by outsiders in the college than protecting Zero Thread.”
That's why you didn't look like me! Besides, he would be pretty strong if he were also a senior spirit. Wasn't that the kind of situation where you could suddenly attack him in stealth?
It just seems like Fran was looking subtle. No, did you feel it slightly? But it was called the Inn, and maybe Fran had the ability to feel the Spirit.
”Fran, have you seen the Spirit?
”... there was something weird”
”Oh? Maybe Fran has a gift for spiritual use.”
”Really?”
”I'm just saying it's possible. How about this, for example?
Weena Lane gently pointed her fingertips at the ceiling. I know only a little magic moves, but I don't know what's going on.
But Fran does seem to see something.
”Sprouts?”
”Um, can't you almost see him? But I think I can feel it.”
Perhaps Fran still has the talent of a spiritualist. I'd love to know your skills.
”How can I remember?
”Hmm...... Right...... All I can say is deal with the Spirit and always be aware of the Spirit. Some people need a clean mind, but some spirits like humans with clean minds, to be exact. Many children say that spirits have nothing to do with human good or evil in the first place.”
