Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 975
“Gratula mi Kibilis! Welcome, saintess.”
Simon, who saw the helper prepared by Lethe, thought it was somewhat surprising.
The identity was none other than Professor Broderick, who had come to teach guardianship at the Newcomer Worship Meeting.
Lete also bowed, holding on to the edge of her skirt.
“I am indebted to the bad disciple. “Thank you for your help, Professor.”
“If something is a request from the saint, of course I must listen to it!”
His head jerked back.
“You’re here too!”
Broderick quenched his appetite while looking at Simon.
Simon, who reflexively trembled once, approached Lethe and whispered softly.
“Is the assistant you mentioned Professor Broderick?”
“Yes, isn’t ‘time’ the most necessary thing for our plan?”
Lethe smiled brightly and shrugged her shoulders.
“He has a ‘fortress’ within Sky Island, and as you know, he is one of the best figures in the Holy Federation in terms of defense. “It can withstand even if the military invades.”
Simon lowered his voice even further.
“But how did they recruit an active Professor Afnel…”
“They brought up the trespassing incident at the last rookie worship meeting.”
“aha.”
In the end, it meant that it was a threat.
Broderick, not knowing what was being said, stood blankly and then turned his head.
“Rather than that, the new saint you mentioned….”
“Ah, this way.”
Lethe and Simon took a step to the side. Then Lisara, who was hiding behind the two people, was revealed.
Broderick’s face hardened slightly.
“This is Sister Lisa. “I heard you were wanted for the recent demon subjugation battle.”
When she made eye contact with Broderick, Lisa hiccuped as if she was scared. Lethe smiled and quickly explained further.
“It is a ploy by traitors who distort the Great Mother’s will and conspire to ‘murder the saint.’ “Lisa is not a devil, but a real saint.”
“Hey Broderick.”
In an instant, the smile disappeared from Broderick’s face.
“As an educator, I would like to refrain from becoming embroiled in political strife.”
“A person who pretends not to notice when a student is in danger-”
Lethe also did not give up and placed a hand on Lisara’s shoulder.
“Can we really call ourselves ‘educators’?”
“….”
“….”
Lethe and Broderick’s eyes clashed fiercely in the middle. Simon, who was standing next to him, watched with a worried face, wondering if he was okay.
“haha!”
Eventually, a smile escaped Broderick’s lips.
“…great! “It was definitely my choice to join in during the worship service and continue the relationship between teacher and disciple.”
“I like that the story is fast.”
“but.”
Broderick walked over and stood in front of Lisara.
“If you are truly a saint, please give me ‘faith’.”
“…?!”
Lisara was extremely embarrassed and looked back and forth between Simon and Lethe.
As if Lethe had not expected this development, she sighed softly and looked at Lisara.
“Lisa. From now on, it’s your turn to show.”
“yes yes?”
“Use the power of the saint.”
Her complexion turned dark and she shook her head.
“How could that…! “You’ll be attacking people again!”
“are you okay. This time, we will step in at the right time and take control.”
Simon explained in a soft tone, as if to reassure him.
“If you’re in front of Professor Broderick, the barrier expert, you can do whatever you want because you don’t have to worry about being caught by others or causing harm to those around you.”
“But…!”
Lisara grabbed her head.
“As expected, turning into that form…”
Lisara had a strong aversion to turning into that form.
In particular, I still remember the time when it changed into that horrible form and then returned to its original state.
A scared person.
A person who hates.
A person who shows hostility.
Her mind is filled with the fear and hatred of those who encountered her.
Broderick in front here will be no different. Because that sight only arouses hatred.
Lisa was full of compulsion and self-defense skills.
“As I said before, your role is important. “Lisa.”
Simon did not give up and persuaded me step by step.
“When you become ‘that person’ with the power of a saint, you must control your aggression. “That way, you can stand up in front of people and prove that you are a saint and not a devil.”
“….”
Lisara didn’t say anything, as if she was already very frightened. Just when Simon was about to speak again.
“It’s harsh to say this, but.”
Lethe suddenly stepped forward.
“Now is not the time to be foolish.”
“!”
“Everything you’ve done so far was done to survive, right? It’s still the same now. “To survive.”
Next is the carrot, followed by the whip.
Lethe was speaking in a rather strong tone.
“There is no way a person who is afraid of proving himself in front of just one person can prove himself in front of many believers.”
“….”
“Cheer up, Lisa. It’s not a force you can’t control. Your condition is getting better. “I guarantee it.”
As Lethe and Simon took turns talking, Lisara finally made up her mind, nodded, folded her hands, and closed her eyes.
First, emotions must be stirred up.
Feelings of shaking and fear.
‘I didn’t become a saint because I wanted to.’
It appears clearly in her mind.
Euclid tried to kill himself.
The things the Paladins tried to do to kill him.
The residents, who run away from their class as selected students in fear, even shout out that they are evil.
‘no. ‘I really hate it.’
Her body suddenly began to grow like a giant. Soon, the limbs became thinner, stuck to the skin of the back and the body, and the whole body turned into red blood vessels.
[Off! Giggles!]
Lisara, who instantly took the form of a monster, cried out to the sky. There was something like a strange noise moving around.
The sight of it smiling, showing its gums, was so terrifying that it could have been a nightmare.
‘hmm.’
Simon smiled awkwardly.
‘I’m familiar with it because I’ve seen it a few times, but I’m worried whether I can really persuade the residents with that appearance.’
At that time, Lisara seemed to have stopped transforming. Her body shrank again and returned to normal.
“No! “It’s no longer possible!”
She cried and screamed.
“I really…!”
“I’m sure.”
thud!
Suddenly, Broderick knelt down on one knee reverently toward Lisara and bowed his head.
“Gratula mi kibilis.”
“!”
She, who was crying, looked up with startled eyes.
“I come to see the closest daughter of the goddess.”
“Professor Kyo…?”
“No matter what anyone says, the divinity that came out of your body is the power of a saint. “You Broderick!”
thud!
Broderick slammed his clenched hand into my chest.
“I believe that you are the seventh daughter granted by the goddess. “I will protect you with my faith.”
Lisara’s eyes widened. Simon and Lethe exchanged looks and nodded.
Broderick believed that Lisara was a saint.
No priest wants to experience a divine slump. Now he will protect Lisara, even if it means protecting his faith.
“The night wind is cold. “Please come inside.”
Broderick walked towards his mansion and spread his arms.
Ugh-!
The air in the mansion began to tremble, and soon the barrier was removed. Simon and Lisa’s eyes widened when they saw what was beyond.
It was a large fortress with high walls. Broderick had a smile on his face.
“Welcome to the Guardian Citadel!”
***
Broderick’s castle was amazing.
High and steep walls completely blocked the entrance, and a barrier stretched across the sky blocked even intrusions from the air.
After crossing the castle wall, a vast garden reminiscent of a maze unfolded. Of course, it was not an ordinary garden. It was full of various defense devices and traps.
You had to overcome all of these to enter the fortress where Broderick lived.
‘But the inside is an ordinary mansion.’
The fortress mansion had a lot of space and a place to wash.
While Lethe and Lisara lightly washed up, Simone and Broderick prepared a late dinner. Then, when they returned, we had dinner together.
‘it’s good! This is food!’
Simon savored his meal. I couldn’t help but be thrilled when I ate tomato soup with plenty of meat after tasting only bland food at my dorm.
Plus bright lights and the sound of a crackling bonfire. The comfort inside helped me forget about the tense situation for a moment.
“Excuse me while I’m eating, but Professor Broderick, how long do you think it will take for the Provost to find us?”
Broderick answered Lethe’s question without much hesitation.
“You’ll be discovered in half a day. No matter where you run, it is ultimately impossible to escape their pursuit inside Sky Island.”
“Then how long can this fortress hold out?”
“Similarly, I watch half the day.”
Lethe’s expression became ambiguous after hearing those words.
“No, I am the best guardian major in the Federation! “Didn’t you say you could survive even if the army came?”
“Hehehe! “If the military comes, I can easily spend a month on my own.”
Broderick continued, stroking his beard.
“But this is Sky Island. Since the order to subdue demons has been given, asymmetric forces beyond the military will undoubtedly participate. “We have to assume the worst and prepare for it.”
Simon also expressed his agreement and then looked at Lethe.
“Then what happens next?”
“As soon as the meal is over, I will go down to the basement and prepare the white magic for Lisara’s awakening.”
Lethe looked towards Lisara.
“It is a magic that controls the ‘power’ that Israfil taught me a long time ago. “It will help.”
Simon also smiled brightly and gave strength.
“Good, Lisa. There was no aggression this time and it quickly returned to normal! “Now you will soon be able to prove to people that you are a saint and not a devil.”
“Yes…”
Lisara nodded. Broderick walked toward the kitchen, saying he would bring some leftover soup.
“What if…”
Lisara, whose mind seemed complicated at that time, opened her mouth.
“What happens if I don’t prove to people that I am a saint as planned?”
Before Simon could say anything, Lethe blurted out.
“You will be executed as a devil and go down in history as the worst monster, and the investigator and Professor Broderick will be beheaded as heretics who betrayed the goddess by being possessed by a devil. “I will suffer the same fate after I step down from my position as a saint.”
Kuuk.
Lisara tightened her fists and opened her mouth.
“I’ll try. “I have received so much grace from you all, and now it is not just my life.”
Fortunately, it seemed like a decision had been made.
Simon was internally relieved.
‘I was very intimidated at first, but surprisingly, my mentality seemed to be good. thank god.’
“It was Lisa in the first place. “I knew very well that you had a harsh personality.”
Lethe said, resting her chin and moving her fork.
“On the first day of the service, you guessed that this guy was someone else dressed as Euclid, right?”
“…Ah yes.”
“Nevertheless, he naturally approached this guy, lowered his guard, and even tried to impress me by mentioning Euclid’s name by giving me a compliment.”
Lisara looked shocked, and Simon blinked because it was his first time hearing this.
“I’m sorry. At that time, all I thought was that I really had to live…”
– Because I can’t even perform such basic acting, I get caught and die like this. Be a little more careful next time? Oh, there will be no next time.
Almost being killed by Euclid was an opportunity that changed Lisara’s personality 180 degrees.
If you get caught, you die. So I make the first move. He acted boldly with that mindset in all situations.
Since this topic came up, Simon asked a question this time.
“Lisa. I would like to ask you one more question. The reason you hurt and threatened No. 8, Aitula…”
“Oh no! “That wasn’t my intention!”
According to Lisara’s explanation, she was also watching from afar when No. 8 Aetula asked Simon for the sacrament of excellence.
Lisara was really scared. Perhaps he saw himself transformed into Maricello? Maybe he discovered his identity.
She was so worried that she couldn’t even enjoy the festival and came back early. As I listened to the hallway, I was nervous and nervous about when Aetula would tell Simon.
Soon, the anxiety and fear burst out into the pathological mental burden that had been building up until now.
“I was shaking in the room, but when I came to, I had turned into that monster and was holding onto Sister Aitula and begging her. “I really didn’t mean to hurt you at all!”
Simon nodded in understanding and this time Lethe spoke.
“Well, then, do you admit to the charge of trying to put the blame on Sister Maricello No. 3?”
“Ah…”
Lisara lowered her head.
“Yes, it was my fault. Since Sister Maricello killed Euclid… I was blinded by the greed that I could escape from being investigated. Ha but!”
She raised her voice.
“I didn’t even intend to kill the investigator!”
‘…I guess so.’
If they had really wanted Simon’s life, they would have left the body of the cub in the shrine instead of just a cushion soaked in the cub’s scent. Lisara’s purpose is to make an ‘incident’ happen.
The biggest reason was that if he did so, he would be excluded from the investigation target.
“Anyway, they say that if you become a saint, you will be free from all sins, but a mistake is a mistake.”
Lethe crossed her arms.
“If you want to atone for the rest of your life, shouldn’t you survive first? “For now, let’s focus on this.”
“…Yes, sorry.”
“haha! excuse me!”
Meanwhile, Broderick arrived with some leftover bread. The three people replenished their nutrition for the last time before the final battle.
“Really Lisa.”
Simon looked at Lisa with a smile.
“Now as an aside, what is the story about your hometown that you told me after you gave me the honor?”
“That story is true!”
Lisara said urgently.
“Of course, my intention was to avoid suspicion, but I felt at ease before I knew it…” “
…Wait a minute.”
This time, Lethe glared at Lisara with a sullen expression.
“Then why did you say that Euclid kept coming to mind when you gave me the honor of excellence? “Is that also acting?”
“Oh that…!”
Lisara’s face turned as red as a tomato.
He hesitated and then looked at Simon, who was just rolling his eyes and smiling. Then he returned his gaze again, his face became somber, and he spoke in a hushed voice.
“Yes yes. Yeo, hey, it was smoke…”
A blazing fire burned in Lethe’s eyes, and she fed Simon with honey chestnuts.
“Why are you hitting me? …yo. this.”
Simon, who was about to protest, looked at Broderick in the end and showed respect.
“just!”
Lethe crossed her arms and turned her back to me. Lisara fidgeted with her fingers.
And Broderick, who was looking at Simon sandwiched between the two saints, clenched his fists and closed his eyes.
“My daughter, this will not be an easy ordeal, but you must overcome it!”
“…What does this man say? Please heat up the cold soup.”
***
Same time.
Shoot!
A man walking in the pouring rain stopped in front of Broderick’s mansion.
The black umbrella on his head tilted, causing his short ivory hair to fall down.
“Here you go.”
He hid the note in his hand inside his suit and slowly stretched out his arm and touched the barrier.
