Alchemist After Possessing

When the red-haired wizard introduces herself as Arisha, El Denia jumps up from her seat. She takes a step back as she opens her eyes wide.

“Ah, ah, ah, Arisha… Is that the Archmage Arisha-sama? It’s the same as the one I saw in school, textbooks!”

“Ah, hello. Archmage Arisha herself.”

“That, that, that’s a real honor—”

“Stop it.”

I stopped Eldenia from approaching Arisha to ask for a handshake. And I put the window standing next to me on the table.

“Oh, that male student, you said to stop. Did you do it to me?”

“I have nothing to say about you introducing yourself as Arisha, but if you deceive my juniors with something like that, you will get scolded.”

“Hon? Are you scolding me?”

I had a brief snowball fight with the wizard I introduced as Arisha. Eldenia is in a situation where she is confused about whether she is the real Arisha. I rolled the spear I had placed on the table towards Arisha.

“Oh, the person who wants to scold me. What if she handed over her own weapon to me… “

As Arisha held my spear, her eyes widened. And then

Kwadang!ㅡ

“Da, Dada, who are you!”

The chair jumped backwards and said something like that. I couldn’t see Arisha because of the library reception desk, but I could tell that she was quite surprised. I got up and called out the window.

“Come out. I came because I have something I want to say to you.”

“Oh, I’m not leaving! I… never go out”

Kwajik!ㅡ

I grabbed the spear and struck down the counter where Arisha was hiding from top to bottom. Then she slightly sticks out her face and looks at me.

“Please have a seat.”

“That… “

“If you don’t like it, I’ll go there.”

“Oh, I see.”

Arisha comes out of the reception desk and takes her seat while watching me. I sat facing her.

“First of all, I tried to deceive my juniors. Apologize.”

“Over there… “

“Seo, senior, I’m fine. The person impersonating Arisha-sama—”

“Saint, please stay still.”

“…… “

A startled Eldenia. She sits down next to me and bows her head. It must have upset you to hear a word from me. I guess I should explain the situation.

“It is true that the being sitting in front of me has the appearance of Arisha. But she is not Arisha herself.”

“Yes… “

“The one in front of you is a monster. You monster Gumiho. It disguises itself and seduces people, robs them of their energy, and eventually devours their hearts.”

“Yes… A monster!? Poetry, does it devour your heart?”

Eldenia, who had been answering helplessly, suddenly jumped up from her seat in surprise. And she looks at her nine-tailed fox with her eyes of doubt. It is a bonus that the nine-tailed fox, who received El Denia’s gaze, bowed her head.

“Everyone, who are you? That window… His energy from that window… “

“Ah, this is from Zakat—”

Kwadang!ㅡ

As soon as the name Zakat is mentioned, the nine-tailed fox tumbles backwards with a chair. El Denia has a worried expression, and she is contemplating whether or not to go to help the nine-tailed fox. I told Eldenia to just sit down.

The nine-tailed fox, who barely came to his senses, raises his chair and sits down.

“Now… Zakat. No, why did you… “

“I am officially of Shaiza”

Kwadang!ㅡ

When Shiza’s name came up, the nine-tailed fox fell back again. The story keeps getting cut off and I get annoyed. For that reason, when the spear hits the floor once, the nine-tailed fox quickly settles down and sits down.

“I officially inherited the property of Shaiza, and I was appointed as the successor by Shaiza herself.”

“Hey!”

“… I heard that you can use the name Shayza if you like.”

“Shah, Shaiza! Whoops!”

A nine-tailed fox who tries to call out his name, Shaiza, but blocks his mouth. It was then. The entrance to the Forbidden Library opened, and cold air rushed in. I turned and looked at the door. On the other side, the snow woman who was looking for us is glaring at us with glare in her eyes.

“Finally, finally found…” !”

Saying that, the snow woman glides toward me while floating. Eldenia rose from her seat to respond, but she shook her head to mean that it was okay with her.

I looked at the nine-tailed fox and pointed my thumb down. Then, the gumiho’s face began to grow pale. She gulps down her saliva and shakes her head at Snowyeo. Unable to grasp the situation, the snow woman is only slowly approaching us threatening us.

Inevitably, I squeezed the spear. Based on the original work, once the door to the gold library on the 5th floor is opened, the buff applied to Snow Woman will be released and her damage will be able to be dealt. Besides, I know her snow woman’s weakness. With that thought in mind, I got up from my seat, holding onto the snow woman item I had brought just in case.

“Eldenia-sama, I think I should put the snow woman to sleep.”

“Okay. Senior, I will cover you.”

For the sake of battle, he blew magic power into the potion he was holding. For compositing into the window. It was then. The gumiho got up from its seat and started screaming.

“Here you are… You are the successor of Shaiza! You can’t touch it!”

“…… “

I am quite embarrassed by the sudden acceleration of the nine-tailed fox. I looked at the nine-tailed fox in amazement. Then, this time, the snow woman’s scream was heard.

“What else this time… “

The snow woman threw her body behind her, and she fell limp on the floor. I approached the snow woman and tapped her with the tip of her spear. However, the snow woman kept her eyes closed and did not respond.

Cold sweat can be seen running down her face, but Snow Woman pretends to be dead with her eyes closed and pretends to be dead. Then, Eldenia grabs my collar and shakes her.

“Senior, here… Was it a fun place, not a scary place?”

“… I thought it was a psychic spot too, but I need to change my thinking a bit.”

At Eldenia’s words, the snow woman opened her eyes and glared at Eldenia. Then she makes eye contact with me and she closes her eyes again.

“Ah, I forgot to tell you, the person here is a saintess from the Holy Land. She inherited the Goddess Fragment of the Goddess Rosasia and was born as a God”

Kwadang!ㅡ

This time, the nine-tailed fox, which broke the table in two, was lying face down on the floor along with the table. Seeing that, El Denia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Out of strength, I put the potion I was holding into my pocket.

*

After repairing the broken table, everyone sat down together. In that state, I put my hand on my chin and thought.

Aside from some of the monsters that appear in Arisha’s Forbidden Library, they were born from Arisha’s hands. For that reason, there is a sense that he shares with Arisha to some extent, and that is the fear of Shaiza.

The reason why the Forbidden Library was created in the first place was to avoid Shaiza’s eyes. Even when creating monsters to protect her gold library, Arisha must have maintained that state of mind. As a result, her fear of Shaiza transferred to the monsters she created.

According to the setting, the monsters guarding the Forbidden Library were all reincarnated about 50 years ago, except for the ghost who guided us to the 5th floor. It’s like starting life again from the age of 1 with memories. As a result, compared to his heyday, his strength has decreased, but the fear of Shaiza is maintained. It is also understandable that her face turns pale when I reveal my true identity.

Arisha, who completed the gold library there, gathered the monsters she created and gave a long speech about Shaiza and Zakat. The main point is to run away when Shaiza attacks. She and she gave her speech about Zakat, her warrior whom she admired.

At the time the Forbidden Library was built, Zakat was already deceased, so the Zakat in Arisha’s speech was portrayed as a greater person than the real Zakat. It wasn’t that Arisha gave her speech mixed with lies, but that it was because she had already left, so Arisha’s memories had been corrected in her own way.

Anyway, in the Forbidden Library, I, the heir of Shayza and holding the spear of Zakat, am the object of fear. In addition, since Arisha is from the Holy Land, Eldenia, a high-ranking member of the church, will also exert considerable power within it.

“So… Why did you come to our Forbidden Library? If… You came to take away our place of life… “

That’s what the nine-tailed fox said while flinching. At her words, Snow Woman’s eyes widened. She did not open her eyes wide to threaten, but wide in surprise.

“That’s not true. I’m running a greenhouse. It’s Shaiza’s secret greenhouse. I am in a situation where I am keeping the fact that I am Shaiza’s successor in strict secrecy, and I need help.”

“One hand… Oh, so… “

“Yes, I want to take Pixie.”

At the word pixie, the nine-tailed fox nodded. Shaiza’s weakness is cute creatures. If she gets caught by Shaiza about her gold library, Arisha intends to calm her anger with the fairy pixie.

In addition, since Pixies were trained to prepare for Shaiza, they have considerable knowledge of alchemy and herbalism. For that reason, if I go to the greenhouse with Pixie, she will do the greenhouse work for me and even make simple items for me.

After thinking that far, the nine-tailed fox stands up, puts his hands together, and talks to the ghost in the classroom who was quietly listening. Then, the classroom ghost comes out of the Forbidden Library. It looks like I’m going to pick up a pixie. When the ghost leaves, the gumiho clears his throat.

“So, then, our living place… By saying you won’t touch me… Can I understand?”

“It’s up to you. I’ve inherited Shaiza’s tasks, and that includes erasing the legacy of Arisha’s actions.”

“That… “

“We have already erased Arisha’s Magic Tower in Telkan without a trace.”

At my words, the nine-tailed fox widens its eyes. It was then. A strand of red hair protruding from the head of a nine-tailed fox swayed from side to side. Apparently, it seems to be communicating with the monsters guarding Telkan.

After shaking her hair a few times, the nine-tailed fox’s face began to turn pale. It’s true that Arisha’s magic tower in Telkan has disappeared without a trace, so there’s no way I can get in touch with that monster.

“Take Pi, Pipi and Pixie and just… Are you returning?”

“I was thinking of doing that today. Don’t-“

“aaagh!”

I cut off my words, and the head maid, Snowyeo, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly jumped up. She is breaking out in a cold sweat. When I tilt her head, Snow Woman clears her throat.

“Hey, young master. I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but I often go out in human form. Because we need to eat too.”

“So what?”

“That… Outside, she once saw a female student who looked exactly like Bocchan… If.”

“Ah, the silver bobbed Melgard student is my younger brother. I am a first year student.”

“That, that, that’s right. Do, Master Do, Do Do, younger brother.”

“Why is that?”

The snow woman shook her head vigorously. She shook the nine-tailed fox’s shoulder and opened her mouth.

“Yes, actually, that… The intruder alarm is going off, so let’s do a little fire check.”

“Ah, if it’s that part, I’ll go too. We want to see who followed us.”

After saying that, I grabbed the spear and stood up. Then, Snow Woman hurriedly ran over, pressed my shoulders, and sat me down.

“What are you talking about? You’re a guest, but you don’t have to. Oh, I think I may have accidentally rang it. Yo, often these days. Yes?”

“What are you talking about? The alarm has sounded so far—”

“Now, think carefully, the alarm went off recently!”

A nine-tailed fox who denied it until the end. Let a strand of hair protruding from such a nine-tailed fox sway. It is to affirm that the alarm must have been triggered by mistake. In response to suspicious behavior, I Eldenia met her eyes once and squeezed her spear.
