"………………I feel sick"

next morning.

After leaving the Duke's mansion alone, I muttered in a wrinkled voice, covering my face with my right hand.

Dizziness with headache and nausea so bad that I can't walk straight. I must be a dead man now. The gatekeeper had a very worried face.

I feel like the worst cold.

It should have been rested in a mansion, but it complains of pain in the joints of the body that breaks apart and cannot sleep slowly.

To be honest, it's pretty hard to walk, but it feels better than groaning on a bed.

So it is up to you to walk out of the residence and walk along the royal city.

"Gunu ... It was unexpected that the recoil was so bad."

Of course, the recoil is a soul-giving experiment that Luna Maria tried last night.

The experiment itself worked.

Rather, it was a great success at a terrible level.

Lunamaria's level rose from "19" to "20".

I got a way to deliberately raise the level of others.

Anyone alone can understand that it is terrible. How much fuss will happen if this is announced? If you imagine that, your back would shake.

Furthermore, my soul-eating is basically more efficient for higher level opponents. In other words, the eternal institution of raising Luna Maria's level → eating my soul and raising my level → raising the level of Luna Maria is completed.

Oh, I'm invincible. For a moment, such thoughts passed through my mind-but it seemed like that until I checked my level.

Headaches, nausea, dizziness, joint pain, abdominal pain, chest pain and much more that still irritate me, but last night it was even worse.

Something is wrong with the reaction of the soul grant. I felt so and checked my level with a bad feeling.

Then, the number that was "8" was reduced to "7".

The level down was happening.

My last level up was when I beat Griffon.

He defeated Syura and Werewolf, and consumed Luna Maria's soul almost every day.

Even so, giving Luna Maria a little bit of soul just dropped the level.

To tell the truth, at one level of Luna Maria with the souls you have accumulated to date, there is no balance.

No, it's still good if you just save the money. However, it's not convincing to get down to the level.

I haven't heard that the level you've just raised goes down in the first place! Do not be silly!

I wanted to shout.

But I don't know who to yell at-no, as long as you're the one who experimented with soul granting, you have no choice but to turn your screams and swears at yourself.

The simple fact is that as a result of granting souls, Lunamaria's level has risen and my level has fallen.

I was convinced that it was.

"... Well, I guess it's just a way to help the tomboy."

I smile.

The higher the level, the more delicious and pure the soul. This means that leveling up has a direct effect on the soul.

Claudia's soul container is now bottomed out. I hope that level up will fill that hole. Even if it does not go that far, the hole can be expected to be smaller.

In that case, the path to the solution was just as obvious. If you raise two or three levels, you will be able to take it to the fullest.

The problem is that my price is likely to be "4" or "3" ...

Claudia's scream of last evening revives in my mind.

It was a year ago that Claudia was cursed.

That sick child has spent the past year suffering that pain. He was only twelve or three years old and did not lose his tender heart, resisting the pain that would never come.

If you think that such a lovely child will never cry like that-yes, Taka is two or three levels, cheap and cheap!

When you go to visit your mother's grave, I think there will be one more thing that you can report on! I just want to raise the lowered level again!

That's why I wanted to go to Claudia right away, but now I'm hard to walk straight.

I don't know if this will give away my soul. Or maybe it will fail.

So now I had to recover as soon as possible.

Therapeutic drug The purpose of this step is to become a tool store and to restore the temple to magic.

-In terms of the results, neither was effective.

Apparently, this disorder seems to be an inevitable symptom of soul granting. In other words, he seems to have to endure until he recovers naturally.

Sighs out if it is not so convenient.

Biwa Listening to the sound coming from somewhere, I turned back to the Duke's mansion.

◆◆◆

"Um, before Claudia fell down?"

"Oh, it looks like Luna Maria heard something strange, but didn't notice the seal?"

Returning to the Duke's mansion, I turned to Seal.

It was originally intended to be asked yesterday, but it was not enough due to the aftereffect of soul grant.

Seal was looking up and thinking about yesterday.

"It means that it's just before the tableware cracks. Oh, so I could hear a cry."

"cry?"

"Yes, I think it was the voice of a woman. That beastman has good ears and often hears the sounds of neighbors and streets. Especially the high voices of women and babies Sometimes it can reach quite a distance on board ... "

So I didn't care, Seal says sorry.

You don't know why, but you regret not giving me the information you need.

Of course, I said I didn't mind because I didn't blame the seal, but I was worried about the information on the seal.

If you're just hearing a cry, you don't have to worry about what Seal says. At about the same time, however, Elf Luna Maria noticed something abnormal in her ears, and Claudia was suffering the pain of screaming.

At this point, we have to pay attention to what Seal says, "the voice of a woman."

Exorcist I used to have a banshee at the Ishka cemetery. That banshee attacked me with just a cry.

It was possible that the same thing happened this time.

--But if Claudia's pain was due to Banshee's cry, we'd be happy if we were in the same place.

So I can't just say it's Banshee, but it's worth a look.

Above all, Claudia's symptoms do not deny the involvement of magic and ghosts.

I decided to head to the National Cemetery on the north side of the royal capital. There are tombs of the Duke of Dragneut generations, and it seems that Astrid and Claudia's mother are sleeping there.

It seemed like a great place to curse the Dukes.
