“So It’s Lars and Urka!”

I heard Tigre-sensei’s voice from behind me, and when I glanced back, he was still trying to protect brother, Nora and the others. Then an undead that attacked me there was,

“.”

“Wha-!? Headmaster!?”

The headmaster had easily blown them away with his wind magic. While Tigre-sensei’s surprise, Mom went to Verna-sensei and Makina went to the others. The king and the others are also struggling with Veig-san and Hawk-san, so as long as there are no unforeseen circumstances, they will be able to manage.

“…… Kuku, I was caught off guard, but what are you two going to do about it? If you attack me, the queen will die, you know? And I’ll just slip out of her body.”

“I know. That’s why I called Urca! Jack, get over here!”

“What? …… Oh, I see! Y-Yeah!”

When I confirmed that Jack was running towards me, I confronted the Emperor. Urka concentrated behind me and began to prepare to use [Spiritual Arts].

It seems to be a skill that can basically be turned on and off, and as the skill improves, it is possible to not only talk, but also clearly awaken ghosts with a hazy consciousness. Recently, he had been using it to talk to ghosts in town.

“Kid, don’t get carried away! !”

“At that level, I’ll just use !”

“What …… you can you harden magic ……!”

I created a lump of like the one I showed Ryuuze earlier, about the size of a soccer ball, and absorbed the Emperor’s Firebolt. If it’s the same fire magic, the bigger the better. Then, I quickly extinguish the fire and approach the Emperor with my physical techniques.

“I shouldn’t give him a chance to use his magic!”

“How cunning, did you think I can’t use physical techniques!?”

“Can you fight in that dress? …… Ha!”

“Guh!?”

With the dress itself, it’s still difficult to move, even though the hem is torn. The Emperor’s arm is dealt with, and a blow is struck to the stomach. However, while his bending down, he tried to kick me. 

“Guah!?”

“You can’t escape with a kid’s limbs ……! Nn!?”

“[Spiritual Arts – On]!”

He exchanged places with me who’s blown away, then Urka grabs the Emperor’s arm and activates a skill. In case you are possessed, I heard it is easier to expel the spirit from their body if you touch them directly rather than away from them.

“Oh, Uuooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!? W-What the heck ……? I’m being torn off from the body–“

Immediately afterwards, a slightly older man’s face appeared from the queen’s head …… This is, Emperor Griel ……! I’ll be watching to see if he can go on like this, but he still seems powerful and greasy sweat begins to flow from Urka’s forehead.

“U-Uhhhhhh ……! It’s a huge resentment …… Empty? It’s all black ……? This person only cares about satisfying his own desires ……! I-I can’t do it on my own ……”

“Jack ……!”

“I’m on it! Go, Lars!”

“Ahhhh!”

This time, Jack’s [collaboration] allows him to pass the [Spiritual Art] through me. Urka is grabbing his right hand, but he can’t seem to shake him off, as if he’s injured, so he tries to shoot magic with his left hand in pain.

“I won’t let you!”

“Ohhhh!? Gah!?”

……!?

The moment I grabbed his left hand, I wonder if it’s Emperor Griel’s thoughts? Something black is swirling in my head. If this is resentment, then his heart is filled with hate. The landscape that comes to mind is …… an empty, empty wilderness?

No, there is a woman standing in the wilderness. Is that–

“Verna-sensei? …… No, it’s Raina-san……?”

“Kid, you saw it ……! I’ll kill you.”

“Uh!?”

He stretched out his left arm, which I had been holding, and grabbed my neck, tightening it. It’s painful, but I can’t let go of his hand ……!

“I, I never thought I’d be tormented by these kids ……!? Oh …… still resisting!”

“Get, out ……!”

“W-We’re not giving up ……!”

“Your nose is bleeding, you know!? Damn! Somebody! Somebody help us!”

I thought something smelled like iron, but I guess it was a nosebleed. When I looked at the other side, I saw that Urka was indeed bleeding from his nose. His eyes is flickering, maybe he was under a lot of mental strain. As I was thinking that Jack would call for help, but that Makina and Nora would have nosebleeds, someone appeared and grabbed the emperor by the head.

“You guys did a great job! I’ll do it from here on out ……!”

“Bishop, huh ……! Not yet! This body–“

The emperor was being torn away. The fact that he’s still clinging to it was frightening, even though he’s my enemy. Then another figure appears behind Jack.

“If I touch the boy, can I get rid of him?”

“Y-Your Majesty ……? Y-Yes! I’m counting on you!”

“…… like this? Lucera, pull yourself together! I’m sorry I ignored you …… You’re the only wife I’ve got, come back to me …… Mu!? Ughhhh!? …… Lu, Lucera, you’re conscious!?”

The king touches my hand, which is holding Jack’s hand, and startled me when he calls the queen’s name. This time, the queen’s voice echoed.

“…… G-Get out of me ……! I am the Queen of Luitzar Country!”

“It, can’t be …… I thought I had you under control!?”

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!”

An uncle in a robe shouted angrily and pushed the queen on her back with his palm. At that moment, the queen’s body falls forward, and the emperor’s ghost remains in place.

“Haa …… haa …… y-you did it, Your Majesty! It’s thanks to that child. Now, get away from the emperor while you still can!”

“Thanks!”

“There’s no way I’m letting you go ……”

As the emperor tried to catch up with him, the uncle held up his staff with a cross on it and said.

” “Return to the other world in the name of Jinga, poor wandering soul, even in death.” “

“D-Damn it, I’m going to disappear at this rate ……! i have to get into another body!”

Emperor Griel reaches for his head. Jack rolled over and the King and Queen evacuated to the other side of the room. The only people nearby are me, someone named Jinga, and Urka.

“Urka, watch out …… what’s going on?”

“That ghost ……? Yeah, I think it’s okay …… What? You have to get permission from teacher to do that ……”

I was about to call out to Urka, but he was mumbling something. The other side of his gaze is …… Tigre-sensei and Verna-sensei, who are defeating the undead. Then Urka got up and ran to Tigre-sensei and Verna-sensei.

“Ah! Hey, Urka!”

Before I can stop him, he puts his hands on Tigre-sensei and Verna-sensei and says something in a whisper, they were surprised for a moment, but nodded at the same time.

And then–

Maybe it’s time to go back to one chapter a day ……?

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“When this is over, I want to make it a little more heartwarming.”

That would be great after taking care of the teachers’ side. The brutal atmosphere has been continuing, after all.
