Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 414
The old woman smiled wistfully and grabbed Simon’s hand.
“Then let’s start with this young man.”
“…Ah thank you.”
The old woman took Simon’s hand and put it on the crystal ball then put her own hand on it.
“Close your eyes.”
Simon closed his eyes. The old woman’s hand rubbed the crystal ball and Simon’s hand.
“What do you see now?”
“Yes? I can’t see anything.”
“I guess so.”
It was the first time in his life to read fortunes so Simon waited with a throbbing heart. When I told her to close her eyes did it create an image in her head?
“Oh oh!”
At that moment an exclamation escaped from the old woman’s mouth.
“I can see it! I can see it! I can see the young man!”
The old woman was watching.
“Fly! I am! You are soaring through the sky!”
For a while the old woman continued to ‘fly!’ ‘I’m flying!’ The same story was repeated.
Simon holding his hand waited in silence while Lethe leaned against the wall and glanced at him with bewildered eyes.
“It’s flying! It flies! That’s what they call it! A bar with wheels!”
“A carriage?”
“Not that! Merchants are dragging their luggage…”
“wagon?”
“Yes the cart! The cart is dragging you along!”
“… I heard you fly in the sky?”
It was an unpredictable development.
“Uh uh uh!”
Then the old woman’s voice rose. And with your own mouth
“bang!”
I opened my eyes with an explosion.
“That’s it.”
“???”
Simon withdrew his hand and made a puzzled expression.
Lethe said ‘Wow’ and clapped lightly a few times before standing up.
“It was fun. Then Grandma let’s go for now…”
“Oi! The lady should try it too where are you going!”
At the same time the old woman forcibly grabbed Lethe’s hand and put it on the crystal ball.
Lethe had no choice but to sit down with a confused expression on her face.
“Close your eyes.”
Lethe reluctantly closed her eyes.
“What do you see?”
“…Of course I can’t see anything.”
“Oh oh oh! Yes! I see! I see the lady!”
It was the same repertoire as before.
“Fly. I’m flying! I’m flying high in the sky!”
Even this was the same repertoire.
‘Where are we both flying to?’
While Simon was watching with that thought in mind the old woman’s expression suddenly crumpled.
“That’s terrible!”
“yes?”
“Blood. Blood. Blood all over! Blood weapons clashing. Flames. And screams and moans of pain. Many people lay motionless on the floor.”
Lethe’s expression which had been closed was slightly crumpled.
“Ah! Ah! A young lady stands in that place of blood and slaughter!”
The old woman’s voice grew louder.
“The young lady makes a bizarre gesture! Then the people who had fallen to the floor and were cold start to wake up. Then they raise their weapons again…!”
Pod!
Simon was startled.
Lethe suddenly pulled her hand out of the crystal ball. Then he glared terribly at the old woman with bloodshot eyes.
“Les Lethe?”
She jumped up from her seat turned her back and strode into the alley.
“I’m sorry! I’ll wake up first.”
The old woman held up the crystal ball as if she was used to it and smiled.
“Goodbye. May the blessings of the goddess be with you.”
that buck! that buck! that buck!
Biting her lower lip Lethe walked down the alley without hesitation.
Simon quickly followed and grabbed her by the wrist.
“Lethe! Wait!”
Pak!
She shook Simon’s hand roughly. Simon stood in front of him and said.
“Calm down! What’s the matter?”
“Did you hear that too!”
Lethe shouted with glazed eyes.
“That scene just now! He was a necromancer who raises corpses to fight no matter who hears it! I’m that terrible necromancer? Me?”
Simon put on a look of regret.
When she was young she lost her parents due to a necromancer’s attack and became a lost child.
At that time the sight of the necromancers raising their dead parents and villagers into skeletons remained as a severe trauma.
It would be difficult if Lethe’s necromancer hatred which had been quiet for a while flared up again.
“It was just for fun. You don’t have to take it too seriously.”
“There’s a certain level to listening for fun! No matter what happens to my future I can bear it! But why do you have to do that…!”
Simon approached calmly holding out his palms.
“Let’s stop the investigation and go back to the dorm. Let’s rest there-“
“Don’t touch my body! Necroman…!!”
Lethe who was about to pour out her fiery anger hesitated.
“….”
“….”
Lethe shook her shoulders and was silent for a while then wiped her face with the palm of her hand and let out a long sigh.
“sorry.”
that buck
Lethe turned her back.
“Investigation. Continue.”
“…Are you okay?”
“yes.”
she said with a weak smile.
“Just a little bit tired.”
* * *
The last place the two headed was the lord’s castle in this city.
but.
-Your lord is currently in an emergency meeting so it is difficult to have an interview. sorry.
In the end the two had to leave the lord castle without any income.
Lethe shrugged.
“Well then~ There’s no way the lord would meet us as outsiders when the city is like this.”
“Yes my thoughts were short.”
Lethe just acted naturally as if the situation had never happened. Seeing her quickly recovering her mentality Simon was relieved inside her.
Of course you’ll have to spend some time to check if it’s really okay.
Now I really decided to go to the lodging arranged by Israfil and rest.
It was not an ordinary inn but surprisingly it was said to be one of the largest inns in the city.
“It’s already been 6 months and 2 days since you’ve been a guest!”
The hostess greeted us with a big smile.
Simon looked around. It was inside the building but the cold air rushed in and it was very cold. There was also breath from the mouth.
“It’s warm in the room so don’t worry.”
The owner of the inn said quickly.
“The building is so big but there are no customers?”
“Haaaa just a few years ago there were no vacant rooms but now the city is doomed to death so I can’t help it. First of all I cleaned the rooms of the two guests!”
The owner of the inn looked back and forth between Simon and Lethe and smiled strangely.
“Have a fun and hot time! Now here’s the key.”
The owner of the inn gave Simon the key to the room and left saying he had other business.
Originally meals were available for an additional fee but it seemed that it was difficult to provide food because there was no food in the city.
The two climbed the stairs to the third floor.
Simon shrieked and held up the key given to him by the owner of the inn.
“uh?”
“Why is that?”
“Now I think this.”
Simon gave a troubled smile.
“There is only one key.”
“!”
Lethe made a cold expression and quickly took the key from Simon’s hand and confirmed it with his own eyes.
“No really! Even though there are no customers how do you manage your work!”
Lethe hurriedly turned her back and went down the stairs at breakneck speed.
“Mister! There’s only one room!”
She screamed loudly but the owner of the inn had already left.
Lette trudged and returned.
“Oh really-!”
“Let’s go in first. There’s only one key but once inside there could be multiple rooms.”
A little color returned to her face.
“…Hmm you’re right. If that’s enough.”
The two of them moved to the third floor again. We chattered and chattered.
“I’m going to take a shower when I go in. It would be nice to have a booth.”
“This is a rich city so it looks like it’s equipped with a sewer system. The water seems to come out properly.”
“It’s fortunate. When I go to a village in another village after being in Sky Island I feel the difference in infrastructure.”
“I’ve also been to a public bath for the first time in Kizen. Ah I’ve arrived. Open the door.”
Simon arrived at the door and put the key in the keyhole and turned it. click! The door opened with a sound.
Lette go inside first then Simon comes inside closing the door.
“what’s the matter?”
Lethe stopped walking and stood in the dark. Simone went inside too and the motion stiffened beside her as well.
“….”
“….”
It was a room full of strange crimson lights.
The wallpaper was also red and there was only one large bed in a large room. Even the wall of the bathroom attached to the room was made of glass so it was a structure that could see inside.
Simon’s face turned red.
And belatedly I realized one thing.
Israfil was very well prepared throughout this trip.
“…Haha. Ahaha.”
Lethe backed away in disbelief. She then grabbed the door of her room with both her hands and said a word.
“good bye.”
thud!
After Lethe closed the door I heard footsteps running somewhere.
When Simon opened the door again and peered into the hallway full of anger and bewilderment she was tugging wildly on the doorknob of another room.
“No really! Even if you cross the line don’t you think it’s too much!”
bang! bang!
I checked all the rooms but they were all locked. The only thing open to the whole of this inn was that red room.
“…Ugh.”
Frustrated Lethe who was sweeping her hair suddenly opened her eyes and lifted her legs. Simon exclaimed in fright.
“Lethe! Wait!”
“Leave that room to yourself!”
Lette gritted her teeth.
“Even if I die I can’t sleep in the same room as a man!”
bang!
In the end it was Lethe who smashed the doorknob with force and entered the next room. Simon hurriedly followed.
“What are you doing! I have to pay for all of this… Huh?”
But the interior of the next room was much worse.
The floor and bed were full of dust and cobwebs hung down. There was no heating so it was a bonus that it was insanely cold.
Seeing a centipede wriggling across the floor Lethe slammed the door shut.
and after a while
“….”
It was Lethe who entered the red room on her own feet and sat quietly with her buttocks on the bed.
Simon said with a laugh.
“You said you couldn’t sleep in the same room even if you died?”
“…Shut up.”
Simon who had been laughing out loud sat down on the bed himself and made a sound of pain. He continued to walk and his leg hurt so badly.
“Ugh I’m tired. I want to go to sleep soon.”
Took!
In front of Simon’s eyes as he said that a pillow fell to the floor. When Simon quickly turned his head Lethe bowed his head.
“good night.”
“No wait! This isn’t it!”
Even the patient Simon couldn’t stand it. Lethe covered her body by hugging the only blanket as if defending herself.
“What’s wrong man! So I grew up in the same bed as the necromancer?!”
“If you’re going to sleep on the floor at least give me a blanket!”
“Then you can see my whole body!!”
Wow Wow This time it was two people fighting over sleeping problems.
After 30 minutes of discussion and fighting it was eventually decided that Lethe would yield all the futons in exchange for Simon going down. Lethe covered her gown and went to sleep.
“How did I end up like this… Goddess why do you keep giving me this ordeal?”
Leaving her praying on the bed Simon took out his bag and unpacked.
“Lethe do you want to wash first?”
“….”
Lethe who opened her eyes after praying spoke coldly.
“Don’t make a mess.”
“?”
Lethe’s desire to wash in warm water was like a chimney.
No I really wanted to wash.
but.
“Common sense would allow you to wash here!”
She grabbed the bathroom door and rattled it.
Because it was glass the interior was clearly visible from the room and above all there was no lock on the door.
It was hard to even call it a door.
“then.”
Simon got up from his seat.
“I’ll wash first.”
Lethe made a puzzled expression.
