Chapter 25: Reinforcements

Felicia, I only asked for your help in getting stronger. I didnt say that you could help me deal with my father.

When I found a Saint in the city and told him about Melodys father, I was surprised not only by the Saint but also by Marlot behind me.

I told you, destroying necromancers is our unshakable duty, knowing that we will never know peace as long as they can continue. Think about it. Your father didnt even spare his own wife, and if we dont stop him then his next victim may be you or another innocent in the city. Dont you agree Lord Saint?

Ahthats right. Yes.

The Saint heard everything.

Although I am a necromancer, I also feel like I am a gift from God.

Well young lady, although you arent strong enough, you have a righteous heart similar to Lord Yerbils. Would you consider taking part in the Churchs qualification examination?

YerbilYerbil is in the academy?

Yes? Do you know Yerbilwait, are you one of Firs friends?

I am him, are you looking for me?

Of course, I wouldnt be so ridiculous.

Iwas one of his students. This is his sister.

I quickly pointed at Oyado.

Oyado gave me a strange look and turned to the Saint.

Well, youre looking for my big brother? He disappeared a few days ago though.

We are aware of this. We have followed Lord Yerbil to investigate the incident. Well then, would you like to come to the young ladys house with us? This is only if you wish to do so, after allwe are going to put an end to them.

Wellforget it, we have things we need to do.

I gave Melody a wink.

Its truefor this, Im still not ready to go

Well then, this is our address. Come if you have a chance. Yerbil would like to have a short talk with Firs sister. Alright, Ill leave now and prepare.

The Saint bowed and hurried off.

Lets go Melody. Well head over to your house while they havent had a chance to arrive.

Thatwhy are you

Because we are fighting a necromancer, I dont think that there is any guarantee that we can win. So if we find a Saint then well have reinforcements and get two birds with one stone.

Its like thatbut still

You would like to get revenge, right? Believe in yourself and go. If your dad knows whats going on here then we wont be able to wait, so well have to go alone.

I laughed, winked and tugged on Melody.

Lets go~

short break

Why do I get the feeling Im starting up a side quest.

When we arrived at Melodys door, Aliyah suddenly spoke up.

I lightly laughed and turned to Aliyah.

Then just think of him as a side quest. I remember that Final Fantasy had a side quest inside a house? I think that we should be playing on a beginners level After all, no one is level 50 except for you.

Haha, thats right.

But

I prepared the crossbow and magic guide book.

They seem to know what we are here for, and it seems we

Im not saying this casually. I can sense the presence of necromancy emanating out from behind the large door at the entrance.

Even in my present body I can sense necromancy. After all, I had used necromancy before changing bodies, and that feeling isnt something that I can forget even if I wanted to.

Melody also took out her sword and magic guide book, however, this wasnt something simple for her.

It wasnt some simple necromancer she was facing, but her own father.

Go on.

Un.

But I have to say, the most proficient among us were Oyado and Aliyah. While I can use a lot of practical magic, our opponent is a necromancer, and I dont know much about necromancy, making it more difficult.

Now Im thinking of Falan, who was the most familiar with necromancy, and was my teacher for it.

Its a pity I dont know where she is right now.

But

Just when I was about to touch the doorknob, the space around us suddenly and violently twisted.

I quickly let go, but it was too late. The space around us had changed to look as if we were surrounded by dark glass on all sides.

Reaching out and touching it, it seemed like glass. But there wasnt any sound when I knocked on it.

It looks likehe really wants us to go in and fight him.

I could see on the side that Aliyah slashed down on the glass a few times, but there was no reaction. I then said to everyone.

It seems that this thing seems to be hiding us out of sight. Everyone ready?

This isCan I ask you something?

Melody finally said.

Why arent you afraid?

Well~

I smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

Because Im worried about wrinkles, I take it easy~

Eh?

As Melody looked on in confusion I pushed open the door and entered into the darkness

Lets start!
