Chapter 64: Which one was it?

“Oh, Ursch-kun, do you know how to make that spell?”

“Yeah. I looked up how to make it a little while ago. But I met Isabella before I made it, so I decided not to do it.”

What does meeting me have to do with you stopping making spells?
My question must have been written on my face, Ursch-kun explains awkwardly while stirring his hair.

“If they found out I was making something like that, Isabella’s father wouldn’t have allowed us to get engaged, and Isabella might hate me.”

I won’t hate Ursch-kun for something so small, but what kind of thing is it that we can’t get engaged just by making it?

“Is that spell that bad?”

Instead of answering my question, Ursch-kun started a pig-head magic tool making course.
Wait, Ursch-kun, I didn’t ask for the making course.

“First of all, you have to raise male and female pigs with Orc King’s fat mixed into their food, and that will give you a very violent pig. It’s really ferocious, so magic items with lightning magic are essential for breeding.”

Isn’t it too expensive to get Orc King’s fat? You also need a magic tool that you can’t get easily. And I wonder if the item with lightning magic is like a stun gun. A pig farm where stun guns are essential is dangerous.

“Wow. . . why did someone decide to mix Orc King’s fat with pig’s rice in the first place?”

It’s true. The first person who said, “Let’s let the pig eat Orc King’s fat!” is crazy. And someone then had to take action to actually put it into practice.

“No, even if you ask. . . I don’t know how it happened. Maybe he tried to create a new demon beast.”

Either way, the person who came up with that idea was not a good guy.

“If you breed the crazy pigs that grew up like that, six carnivorous and violent pigs will be born every time. So, you raise them for 66 days with Orc King’s fat mixed in the food.”

The cost is going up. . .
I’m starting to wonder about the price of that pig head spell.

In addition, I’m starting to worry about the hygiene of the pig farm. I don’t feel like I can clean a pigsty of pigs that are not edible and are ferocious enough for a stun gun to be essential. It would be sticky with lard, and it seems like it would smell bad, so I definitely don’t want to.

“Well, on the 67th day you put the six violent pigs in a sturdy cage and stop feeding them.”

“That’s definitely a battle between the weak and strong with six animals.”

It’s not ethical, but considering that it’s to create a ‘magic tool, is it normal? Magicians are really bad.

“By the way, by the time you reach this stage, you will have to consider the initial calculation that 5 to 6 keepers will be sacrificed.”

Eh? Is it assumed that 5 to 6 keepers will be killed? It’s no long a matter about cost. Why do you want to make an eerie mask that much?

“You then have to put the last pig to sleep with magic or medicine, and write a lot of techniques with special paint for magic in a magic formation on top of the head.”

Oh, it’s starting to look like a ritual.
And is there a special paint for magic? I don’t really want to know the material of the paint.

“And you turn that pig into an undead with magic.”

“Eh? An undead pig?”

They finally turned a pig into a monster. The inventor is too dangerous.

“Yes, the point is ‘with magic’. If you make the pig attack you and make it undead, the magic formula you wrote will disappear. Then the undead pig that was created will have a magic nucleus at the top of the head that doesn’t have a technique written on it.”

Normally, the magic nucleus of monsters is near the heart or stomach. . . If there is a magic nucleus at the top of its head, wouldn’t it be easy to defeat it?

“Finally, peel off the skin of the head and dry the magic nucleus so as not to destroy it, and if you write a magic formula on the back. . . the scalp of the undead pig becomes the completed magic tool ‘Magic Eater Mask’, also known as ‘Gluttony Pig’.”

Hmm? Wait a minute, then. . .

“Is that pig’s head alive because the magic nucleus is safe?”

“I don’t know if you can say ‘it’s alive’ because it’s undead, but it’s as alive as a monster. It’s only made of skin, so it can’t move on it’s own.”

“In other words, the viscount is wearing a living monster undead on his head, even if it’s only leather.”

“That’s right. He’s crazy. And it was Geese-sama and Brian who were kidnapped by such a crazy man.”

It’s the worst!!
We were talking about it as if we had plenty of time, but it wasn’t the time for that!!
The viscount’s level of danger rapidly increased in my mind!!

“I have to go help right away!!”

“Ahhhhh!! The pig is scarier than I thought! Oh my god! That’s right! Bella-chan!! The scary pig went there.”

Alice, who was half crying, tried to run in the direction she showed, but. . .

Huh? Wait a minute, has everyone forgotten something?
When I looked back because I was worried about something, Ursch-kun was talking to Chris-sama.

“Chris-sama, I asked a while ago. . . Where did Trevor-niisan go?”

Ursch-kun, you’re nice!! That’s right!! Trevor-oniisama isn’t here!! I completely forgot about his existence. . . I’m sorry, oniisama.
When asked, Chris-sama answered by pointing to the carriage of the Knights that he was on top of a little bit ago.

“. . . . .Trevor is. . . looking at the undead necklace. . . He said that it is the same as the necklace from the seizure he was investigating. . . He’s investigating the necklace that I was able to take away from the undead. . . in that carriage. . .”

Ahh, the necklace that the intelligent undead were wearing.

“Ursch-kun, you saw that necklace too, didn’t you? Is it a necklace that produces intelligent undead, or is it a necklace that monsters can wear to gain intelligence?”

“Hmm. Maybe it’s a failure. It’s a remake of an item in the literature that has been lost for a long time, it’s a restoration. . . Anyway, it’s a lost item, but it’s a failure.”

I wonder if the original effect is different from the failure? And if Ursch-kun knows that it’s a failure, I wonder if he knows the real thing. Maybe you have the real thing or have created it.

“What kind of effect does the real thing have?”

When I asked him out of curiosity, he replied like he didn’t really want to answer.

“Hmm. . . Anyway, that was a failure. But seeing that they increased the production of failed works, I guess they don’t know the real thing. They don’t know the real thing, so they think it’s an item with that effect.”

You answered like you don’t want me to know about the real thing, Ursch-kun. It’s Ursch-kun, so if it’s information that I need now, I think he will tell me without hiding it. I’m sure Ursch-kun doesn’t say it because he has an idea, so let’s not go deep into it and listen.

“Ehhhh. . . I don’t care about the necklace now. If you don’t catch the pig as soon as possible, those two will be made strange~”

I wonder what she means by strange. . . . No, Alice-chan is certainly right. Let’s leave the necklace for now. Trevor-oniisama is looking into it, and soon we’ll know the identity of the necklace.

“Yes, let’s go after Viscount Hillson quickly and rescue Geese and Brian.”

But Ursch-kun stopped us.

“But you only know the direction Viscount Hillson headed, right? Even if you run in that direction and look for it in the dark, you won’t be able to find it. Until now, they’ve been deceiving the eyes of the Knights and hiding.”

That’s true, they’ve been hiding well until now, so we can’t find the magician’s hideout in such a fuss.

“Just to make sure. . . Chris-sama. can you follow the traces of Viscount Hillson?”

When Ursch-kun asked Chris-sama, Chris-sama pointed to himself and tilted his head.

“. . . . . Eh. . . Me?”

Ursch-kun explains to me, who doesn’t know why he thinks Chris-sama can follow the traces of Viscount Hillson.

“Come to think of it, Isabella didn’t know. The ability of [Pride King Lucifer] is telephoto, hell ears, mind reading, emotion detection, and the ability to sense the remnants of emotions left on the spot, spirit and distance. . . It may not be a distance, but it may be a space, but it was related to what I said anyway. It has a wide range of abilities.”

I’m not sure, but to put it simply, it’s ‘the ability to grasp and gather information about your territory correctly’? Then, if we use Chris-sama’s ability, we may be able to find out by chasing the remnants of Viscount Hillson’s emotions.

After Chris-sama was told, he looked around with a serious expression. . .
I dropped my shoulder as hard as I could.

“. . . . . . Here and there, the emotions of people who are scared. . . . people who are fighting. . . with the strong emotions of people who are running around. . . It’s a mess. . . It’s impossible to identify people who I don’t know well. . . . I’m sorry.”

Hmm. . . . I’m sorry. But it can’t be helped if you say it can’t be helped. When zombies are swaying around the capital and making a big fuss left and right, even if you are told to find someone you don’t know from here using [Pride King] that you just got recently, you can’t help it.

So, Chris-sama, don’t be so visibly depressed. It really can’t be helped. Chris-sama, it’s not bad.

“Well. . . . Chris-sama. . please don’t be depressed. There must be another way.”

Alice-chan gently held Chris-sama’s hand when she snuggled up to him, and Chris-sama nodded to Alice-can with a sad expression. And Ursch-kun interrupted the two people with such a good atmosphere in a relaxed voice.

“That’s right~. It’s impossible~. It’s understandable in this state. So let’s stop running around without any information. Until Isabella remembers other clues. Right? Isabella.”

Wait. . . Ursch-kun. The two of them had a nice atmosphere just now. . .
What do you mean. . . ? What? . . . Me?

Did I have any clues?

 

During the explanation of how to make the pig mask, Isabella seems to have forgotten that Ursch said he was originally planning on making one. . .
