Chapter 147: Evil Spirit of All Souls Day (part one)
In the middle of the night after Holle-kun’s case was over, I told Palug about the ending of the event.
The Golden Wolf Prince, who had been machined by the Lunatic King, and Holle-kun who was an artificial spirit born to destroy the said prince.
“Oh my, what a poor child.”
I’m really at a loss on what to do about Holle-kun.
I wonder what I should do.
『Umumu, so he wants to fulfill his mission.』
“I want to help, but I mean, Holle-kun’s case is difficult to deal with, right?”
The problem with Holle-kun is the inconvenient specification that he only activates when the Golden Wolf Prince is not conscious.
That means we need to cooperate with someone else.
Regarding that matter, I’m also worried that the game development that I know and the current situation of the Golden Wolf Prince are different.
“Then, why don’t I go on the offensive first? Even if the wolf fails, I will definitely be okay!”
Palug said without hesitation.
The Golden Wolf Prince seems to possess the human who killed him in the form of a curse, but Palug is a sacred phantom beast and a former angel, so she should be alright.
“I’ll give it some thought. I’ve already identified the location to some extent.”
It was thanks to the information that had been leaked by the vampire from some time ago.
Claude Lucanrant was possessed by the Golden Wolf Prince.
And it was Harlan Slayson who confined Claude.
Then, the place we need to aim for is the Margraviate of Urs.
“After all, winter vacation is probably the best time. I’m thinking of going to the North.”
I don’t know if it will go well, but I can’t neglect the countermeasures against vampires.
Especially if the opponent is a monstro in the form of a curse created personally by the Lunatic King.
“Yaay~~ my first time going to the northern country! There are plenty of mineral springs that are good for your skin in the north!”
『Cat, your aim is bathing……? This goes beyond vulgar!』
“Whaat~~~ Just a little bit is fine, right~~~!”
That might be a great way to relax for Palug who seems exhausted from exterminating the underlings.
And also a great way to show my appreciation for Tirnanog.
Before the situation descends to mayhem, indulging ourselves in the hot spring might not be a bad idea.
The lack of personal connections in Lucanrant is a matter of concern, but that can be managed.
And so it was decided that we would go to Lucanrant for the winter vacation.
☆
After Holle-kun’s case was resolved, no other mysterious phenomena occurred in the academy.
The current situation is almost peaceful.
But there are two more concerns.
The first one.
Dolores no longer appears.
Since we have not violated the prohibitions, I wonder if something went wrong, or was there something she didn’t like?
And the second one.
Holle-kun also has never appeared since then.
If the Golden Wolf Prince has been awake all this time, that would be scary.
In the meantime, time passed quickly, and finally, the day of All Souls Day Festival arrived.
Three days from today will be the festival period of All Souls Day.
During this period, there are no classes.
The students have been working on their costumes and events since morning.
I wore a pirate-inspired costume.
Pirates in this world are the Aurelians who rampage around on their privateers.
They are authorized by the royal family, just like the privateers in my previous world.
They seem to have been particularly active when our relationship with the North was at its worst.
“Well, it’s a festival, so it’s better to be flashy.”
『Umumu, it might suit you.』
“Hmm~ you look great. This will surely attract the attention of men and women around you~~!”
It seems to have been well-received by Palug and Tirnanog.
After wearing the costume, I headed to the school building.
Then I met up with Tricia and Marquia in our usual seats in the dining hall.
“My! Are you dressed up as the captain of a privateer, Erica-sama? How wonderful!”
“You look gorgeous!”
“Thank you, Tricia-san, Marquia-san.”
Tricia and Marquia were wearing their uniform as usual.
They said they didn’t dress up because they would change their costumes later in the theater.
“How about changing your voice using potion?”
“And how about drawing a cut on your face with makeup?”
Both of them, who seem to like my costume, made suggestions simultaneously.
Since this is a festival, it would be a good opportunity to try it.
Let’s take them up on their kind offer.
“Sounds like it would be all-out and interesting.”
Marquia and Tricia spread various chemicals on the table and began preparing me.
Tricia was particularly enthusiastic; she carefully finished drawing the cut realistically.
Then, when I played around with my new face and voice, shrill voices rose in the distance.
Apparently, a figure with an excessively conspicuous costume appeared.
Long black hair with something like antlers springing upon his head, a jet-black costume that feels like an aristocratic villain—
It was a figure with a presence similar to that of the so-called Demon King.
When he glanced at the girls who let out shrill voices, he brushed up his hair in an agitated manner.
Without warning, the Demon King turned towards my direction and drew nearer rapidly.
Mhm, I’m familiar with those blue sharp, discerning eyes.
“Erica, looks like you’re ready too.”
“Klaus-sama, what happened to your hair?”
“I wore a wig and cast illusion magic on it.”
At first glance, it can’t be distinguished from his real hair.
It looks very natural when visually aided by magic.
The mages are going all-out for their costumes, huh.
“Klaus-sama, you look good with long hair. Incidentally, who are you dressing-up as?”
“He is a former King of Hafan who was called the King of Daylight.”
I feel like I’ve heard of him, but at the same time, I feel like I don’t.
But if I remember correctly, he was a very famous King.
“Was he the King who really loved construction?”
“He was the man who built magic towers at all important points of ley lines on Ichthyes.”
I see, so he was the Infrastructure King.
Thanks to this King, the Ichthyes continent has a strong spiritual defense.
However, after all, he does look like the Demon King.
He looks like the type of villain who would kill his beloved princess and magnificently fall into darkness.
“But, why did you come here?”
“If I don’t check your costume, it’d be hard to find you among the crowds.”
“I see……but, what for? Did we make a promise to meet up?”
When I replied, a crease appeared between Klaus’ eyebrows.
“Because you used to say that All Souls Day Festival is scary, so I decided to stay with you when I have time.”
“You remember well, Klaus-sama.”
“I remember everything you said.”
