Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1074
Ugh!
You can hear the sound of the teleportation magic circle ending its operation. Simon opened his eyes when he felt his feet floating in the air slowly touching the ground.
Meilin was right next to me. She had her hands clasped together and had a slightly nervous face, but she carefully narrowed her eyes.
“!”
The two people who made eye contact simultaneously turned their heads as if embarrassed. An awkward wind blew between the two.
Simon was the first to come to his senses and speak up.
“Are you okay? “Mayrin.”
“Oh, yes!”
She said, straightening her back. Simon scratched his head.
“I’m sorry I made you follow me for no reason.”
“Oh, no!”
Meilin nodded her head. Light blue hair flows and sways like a stream.
“As I said before, I wanted to go there and understand the scene properly! huh! As Vice President of Keygen! “I was also curious about the famous tomato festival.”
Simon nodded, remembering her staring at the poster for Mahihalla’s Tomato Festival.
“Then please take care of me again, Meirin.”
“Please take care of me~”
After finishing their story, the two people’s heads turned to the other side.
‘It’s your chance!’
‘It’s a chance to resolve the awkwardness!’
If this trip would break the awkward atmosphere that had persisted throughout the third year, Simon planned to properly ask Maylin for forgiveness for hiding his identity. I missed the fun and lively times when I was in first and second grade.
And Meilin too.
‘Let’s do what has already happened like this. you can do it!’
I was determined in many ways.
He clenched his fists and let out a snort.
“Let’s start by preparing in advance.”
“huh!”
The place we arrived at using the teleportation magic circle was not Mahihala Village, but a small to medium-sized city nearby. I was planning to move here with other people visiting the festival.
Of course, Simon stood out as he was a hot topic in the Dark Alliance, so he decided to wear the new face makeup created by Alase.
Meilin’s face was not yet widely known on the continent, so she had no worries about going to a rural village, but she decided to hide her face by casting a simple recognition impairment spell and applying a little eye makeup.
Also, since she was wearing the Kizen school uniform, she changed into a normal adventurer’s outfit and lightly covered it with a robe. In the bag prepared by Chiella, various necessities, including clothes, were placed without a problem.
‘Even the underwear I had in my dorm. I’m overly prepared. It must have been Chiella’s doing from the beginning.’
Meilin sighed and raised her fierce eyes.
‘It’s so special. When I go back to school, I can give it to you as a souvenir….’
“Are you done changing, Meirin?”
“Ahhh! huh!”
Meilin quickly cleaned up her surroundings with a heated face, then packed her bag and came out. Simon, who was also wearing a robe, smiled brightly.
“It’s my first time seeing eye makeup, but it suits you well. “I don’t recognize you.”
Meilin creaked as if she had broken down at the sudden words that struck her.
‘fool! ‘Don’t praise me like that!’
If I say something like that, I’ll be so nervous that I won’t be able to muster up the courage. I felt a little dizzy.
“Then let’s leave right away.”
Dick didn’t make it, but they both knew the plan he had made.
From now on, I have to join the reporter team and cover the Tomato Festival in Mahihala. You can capture villagers and tourists enjoying the tomato festival with a magic camera.
Of course, Simon and Meilin’s real purpose is to uncover the 1st Corps’ plans taking place here. You have to stay alert because you never know what might happen.
Simon was once again recalling the events that occurred during the previous battle with the 1st Corps in the Jungle of Screams.
‘How could I forget?’
-For the emperor.
Soldiers of the 1st Corps heavily armed with armor like knights.
I really thought it was a human, but I was shocked when I saw the undead face revealed the moment I took off the helmet.
What secrets is the 1st Corps hiding?
They are hiding in their own territory. Everything is closed off and there is no interaction whatsoever.
However, it will not be easy to become self-reliant on all resources in the 1st Corps’ territory, and there will undoubtedly be a force that provides supplies to the 1st Corps.
‘Then, Mahihala Village near the 1st Corps’ territory. ‘This place is the most suspicious.’
In any case, Mahihala village was in a remote area that could not be reached by carriage. The reason was that both tourists and reporters had to gather in a nearby city and depart together.
First, I went to meet my ‘seniors’.
* * *
Simone and Maylin headed to the meeting place Dick had mentioned, a small tavern in the city. This place, filled with the scent of dark beer, was impressive with its dark lighting and old-fashioned interior. Here and there, oak barrels filled with alcohol are lined up against the walls.
And you can see a middle-aged man sitting on one side of the bar drinking alcohol.
Hair somewhat disheveled, tie crumpled. He had unfastened his pants belt and was drinking alcohol. Simon and Maylin were hoping that it wasn’t their senior, but when they saw the magical photography equipment next to him and the name tag around his neck that said ‘Manager of Florilbo Reporting Center’, they resignedly walked away.
Oh no!
The manager reporter, who was burping loudly like a whale, was doing something while scribbling on his magic camera. Simon and Maylin stood next to him as politely as possible with nervous faces.
“know?”
Simon spoke quietly to her. Meilin also nodded.
Thanks to their cooperation in this case, I was able to work as a reporter. If you are refused to join the village because it looks wrong, things will go wrong from the very beginning.
Simon opened his mouth.
“excuse me.”
ok?
The manager reporter, who was chewing on his snack, turned his head to look at Simon and Meilin. There was a lot of dissatisfied expression on their faces as if they were saying, ‘Someone needs to be disturbed.’
“Emon, a new reporter who joined us to cover this Mahihala.”
“My name is Lin. Please take care of me!”
Both people created pseudonyms using common names similar to their own. I bowed my head as politely as possible and greeted him, but the reporter frowned.
“Oh, it’s you guys? okay! “I was curious about how proud you are, but are you this young?”
He turned and pointed.
“How much did you guys pay?”
“yes?”
“Director, how much money did you give to that rotten bastard that a new outside reporter could join with 3 days left in the reporting schedule? Thanks to that, my kids couldn’t even come in!”
‘…this.’
When Simon heard those words, his mind became complicated. I thought Dick took things too easily, but it seemed like he paid money to come in.
I never thought there would be a problem like this.
The reporter’s nagging continued.
“That’s what work is! There are procedures for everything! I don’t know where you are from at the newspaper or why you came here! “It’s against the law for a small newspaper to ignore us and come in like this!”
It was dangerous.
To this extent, Simon himself was fine, but the problem was Meilin. Given her personality, it wouldn’t be surprising if she immediately got angry and fought back.
“What kind of thoughts do you have…!”
“we.”
At that time, Meilin stopped talking and took a step forward.
“I’m not from another newspaper. We are here solely to help Floilbo’s new series succeed. “Even though I’m a rookie, I’m confident in my skills.”
She put her hand on her chest.
“If you leave it to me, I will do my best to help my seniors.”
Simon’s eyes widened at the sight of her dignified and adult appearance.
As expected, he has grown considerably not only in his black magic skills but also internally. If you think back to the days when you were a freshman and were stuck with an inferiority complex towards Sernet, raising thorns and being wary of those around you, it was a huge improvement.
“What are you telling me to see and trust? uh!”
But that side also had a temper.
“We can just use our original kids, so why did you come here? town…!”
“Stop, stop. “You’re too drunk, sir.”
Likewise, a middle-aged woman wearing a name tag that said “Flo Daily” around her neck covered the male reporter’s mouth and smiled gently. She looked about 4 to 5 years younger than the man and was wearing comfortable clothes.
“What could be wrong with the rookies? They probably just came because they were told to do so from above. “They said they would help us with our work.”
“Woof! town! So why does it have to be our newspaper that gets hit?”
This woman picked up a handful of what looked like snacks from the plate and stuffed it into the senior’s mouth, then walked away holding on to Simon and Meilin’s shoulders.
“I will apologize on your behalf. Recently, you have become more sensitive to articles being pushed back due to competing media outlets. It’s like that because of work stress. “Once you get to know him, he is a person with many good qualities.”
“Well, I see.”
After hearing that, I understood the situation again. she laughed
“I say sonnet. I won’t ask where it comes from. “I just need to introduce myself to people as a new reporter for our newspaper, right?”
this person.
I thought he was capable and quite quick-witted. You wouldn’t know that he was from Keygen, but it was immediately obvious that he wasn’t a real reporter.
“Then I’ll tell you step by step how we work.”
She herself kindly taught me how to operate the magic shooting device. Simon had been the target of magical photography equipment many times, but he had never filmed anyone himself, so he listened intently to the explanation.
Still, since I was an active Keygen student, I was confident in everything I was learning.
“Do you want to stand in front? “Lin.”
“yes!”
“Okay, then press the button like this.”
The senior reporter captured Meilin’s image in the magic camera and said,
“The principle of magic shooting tools is not difficult. “We record and store images of objects photographed using magic, and later transfer them to paper by placing them on a magic circle.”
She showed the magic shooting device to Simon.
“The only time we can confirm this is right after the first shot. Editing is impossible, so be careful with each opportunity to take pictures… Oh my!”
She looked into the magic shooting sphere with an admiring look on her face and then turned to look at Meilin.
“I was impressed at first, but you have such a beautiful appearance…! “Are you thinking of becoming a model in addition to your journalistic work?”
“Yes, yes?”
Meilin blushed and looked embarrassed.
Then, when he saw Simon staring at the magic camera with his head down, he immediately sighed and cleared his throat.
“…I will do anything I can to help.”
“thank you! I won’t make unreasonable demands! Just one or two please!”
After receiving training as a reporter all evening, I had a good night’s sleep in the accommodation prepared in advance by senior reporters.
So the next day came.
* * *
“Going to Mahihala!”
“Gather here!”
The following morning.
A group of people were gathering in an empty lot on the outskirts of town. Simon and Meilin, two senior reporters from Florilbo, and up to six people from various occupations.
There were 10 people in total.
Because the village is small, it is difficult to receive a large number of tourists, so the group is comprised of only a small number of people. Although they didn’t rush in as a group, everyone looked excited.
Just like that, three carriages carrying people moved.
-It’s a little uncomfortable to meet the manager face to face, right? There is no need to take the same carriage.
With the help of a senior reporter, Simon and Meilin were able to ride a carriage with the general public and travel to the village.
“Nice to meet you! “You must be reporters.”
“Ho ho ho!”
The people riding together were a young newlywed couple. As they were newlyweds, their affectionate behavior was quite special, and they were already hugging and kissing in front of Simone and Maylin, so it wasn’t a fuss.
Simon sweatdropped and looked out the window.
‘It might have been better to just ride with the manager…’
Fortunately, the two were basically good people, except for a little too much affection. Meilin’s mouth opened after hearing the two people’s story.
“You’re going to Mahihala Village for your honeymoon?”
“yes!”
My wife said with a smile.
“My wife and I prefer unique experiences that are different from others! “When I won the Mahihala Village Festival, I knew I had to come here!”
“Really, it’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit. babe.”
“Naduuu.”
Seeing their foreheads rubbing against each other, Simone and Meilin jerked their bodies back as if convulsing. It was difficult to get used to the bold skinship of adults like this.
This time it came from my wife’s side.
“Perhaps the two reporters…”
“No!”
Before I could say anything, Meilin shouted with a red face. The wife smiled as if it was cute, and the husband smiled as he hugged her shoulder.
“You are still young, so think carefully. “Human life is too short to live without love.”
“babe! “It’s so romantic!”
Meilin quickly turned her head and fanned her hand to cool her red face. And Simon was looking out the window.
‘Sight.’
Doo doo doo doo doo!
A road where three carriages pass by.
A man on a hill was quietly watching.
Slap! Slap!
The handle of the sword sheathed on his back was shaking and moving. The man gripped the hilt of the sword again and spoke in a calm voice.
“…It’s not time yet, Demon Sword.”
Then the sword slowly stopped moving.
The man, who had been quietly watching the carriage pass by, slowly turned his back and disappeared into the forest.
Sigh.
Simon, who had been gathering strength in his fingertips in the carriage, also slowly lowered his hands. Then he lightly raised the corners of his mouth and rested his chin.
“It’s wise not to attack.”
Meilin tilted her head.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Thinking that there was nothing out of the ordinary from the beginning of the trip, Simon moved the undead that had been summoned outside.
