Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 76 Disappearance (6)

“Elodie! wake up! Elodie!”

I shook and patted Elodie, but there was no sign of getting up.

He had a gentle and calm face, so it looked like he would wake up anytime soon, but he closed his eyes deeply without any reaction.

‘It’s like I’m locked in a sleep.’

I looked at Elodie.

For me, it’s definitely the first Elodie I’ve ever seen. Because the player cannot see her childhood image.

But somehow it wasn’t unfamiliar. Maybe the girl’s appearance resembles Elodie.

‘… … Is it Frontier’s memory?’

Perhaps my body instinctively remembers Elodie.

‘yes?’

I looked at Elodie and noticed something strange.

Just a little bit, Elodie’s fingertips seemed to have gotten a little smaller.

It may be because of her mood, but her body has gotten smaller than before. It’s a really subtle difference though.

‘Are you still in the process of getting younger?’

If you keep getting younger like this, you can’t wait to see it. I don’t know when to stop.

Is it possible to go through this process to disappear from the world?

But what should I do? Elodie shows no sign of waking up. If Elodie wakes up, he might be able to get some advice on how to solve the situation.

You don’t know when you’ll wake up, and looking at this state, it’s not an ordinary sleep. Just waking up won’t wake you up.

‘I can’t help it.’

I used the ‘analysis’ skill to watch Elodie.

[Elodie de Inies Lischae]

– A child loved by the five gods.

– A sophomore in Constell.

– Currently, you have taken ‘free hibernation’ by yourself.

– To wake her from sleep-

The analysis stopped there. Is it not enough to pour out all the mana I have now?

I immediately stopped weaving dragon hearts to replenish mana.

… … Until now, when analyzing using Dragon Heart, it was only when no more mana was needed or when the analysis itself was more important.

However, if I ate Dragon Heart, I couldn’t properly analyze it, or even if my remaining mana after that became thin.

‘You can’t use mana in a situation where you don’t know how to deal with it in the future.’

After thinking about it, I exclaimed.

“may!!”

A voice with a light auror echoed throughout the basement and stretched out.

Shortly thereafter, light footsteps were heard, and a face poked out through the door leading down from the upper floor to the basement.

“Did you call?”

… … Of course, the current May is the face of Frontier, so that kind of behavior is a bit unusual.

“Come here and watch this kid.”

May tilted her head once at my words and came down to the basement.

“who?”

“Here, this child is called Elodie.”

May narrowed her eyes at my words and looked in the direction of Elodie, but

“… … I can’t see anything.”

“ah.”

right. Now I can only see Elodie. Because he was caught up in Osprey’s magic.

Can not help it. Even if no one else knows, Mei has another way.

“… … I have what I call the ‘sixth sense’.”

“the sixth sense?”

“The power to sense everything supernatural. Mana, spirit, god, whatever.”

May is imitating me now.

If a really perfect copy is possible, the ‘sixth sense’ can also be mastered. Even without Helheim’s mana, it is almost the same as mana, so the method will be the same.

“Uh… … .”

May narrowed her eyes and looked at me.

I’m using all my six senses to see Elodie right now, so if you observe me closely, Mei will also be able to confirm that my sixth sense is working.

“… … This is it, right?”

Mei raised her mana with a hard expression on her face as if she realized something.

I watched Mei silently. I didn’t know if I was going in the right direction, but now I don’t think my meddling would produce good results.

And after a while,

“──I found it.”

Mei immediately paid attention to exactly where Elodie was located.

“difficult. this.”

“… … okay.”

I got Helheim’s mana and went right before I died, and I dismissed it with the word ‘difficult’.

“great. Once confirmed, observe Elodie, and let me know if you find out anything. Now I’m looking for a way to wake him up.”

“yes.”

I was a little nervous watching Mei answering calmly.

… … To be honest, showing Elodie to May was a great adventure. It’s about learning Elodie’s powerful talents, magical skills, and knowledge.

But I decided to trust May. Learning and copying are Mei’s power and Mei’s identity. It’s not up to me to decide what to choose with the power I’ve gained.

“… … Magic.”

Mei’s words were very short.

“I cast a spell. to yourself.”

The analysis said so. It was said that he had taken ‘free hibernation’.

I asked.

“Why did Elodie do that?”

“I don’t know. But this magic is dangerous. You may never wake up.”

Just hearing the name gave me an ominous feeling.

As soon as I heard the word ‘free hibernation’, I immediately thought of ‘unarmed hell’.

In other words, it means that Elodie was pushed to the edge of a cliff to use such a dangerous magic.

“Perhaps, it’s impossible to dispel magic on your own.”

In other words, it is magic that presupposes intervention from the outside.

Elodie came down to the basement of the hut and cast this spell. Believe that someone will unleash your magic.

… … No, no.

No one else, Elodie had asked Frontier to do it.

I am the only one who will come to this place.

“Then what should I do?”

“You have to sleep.”

“What?”

“This magic is forcing you to sleep. keep dreaming We need to escape from that dream together.”

“… … Can you escape?”

“If you wished the enchanted person to wake up, you could escape.”

Then you can go out.

There’s no way Elodie would have wanted to sleep here all her life.

“If I sleep here now, can I enter Elodie’s dream?”

“no. You must use the same magic.”

“… … Same magic.”

May raised her hand.

“I can walk you.”

“… … .”

“Instead, if we don’t escape, we’ll both sleep for the rest of our lives.”

That’s terrible.

But there was no other option.

“great. Cast that magic on me.”

“… … .”

But Mei, who had been quiet until then, suddenly hesitated.

I thought you’d cast a spell right away.

“may?”

“… … yes. sorry. I will walk you.”

But Mei soon closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them, and a light shone from the hand that reached out to me.

—It didn’t take long for me to fall asleep.

Losing strength, collapsing, or laying your head on the floor.

At some point, without even knowing that feeling, I fell asleep.

When you have a dream, it is often said that even if a pink whale is flying in the sky, you do not realize that it is a dream.

The original dream is to reveal the thoughts of a sleeping person with the five senses, so it is difficult for the person who created it to recognize the contradiction.

Just one thing. People living in the real world say that if the situation in the dream is too unrealistic or contradictory, they can recognize it as a dream.

Even it is not clearly known what causes cognition, but the farther away from reality, the more likely it is that a dream is a dream.

Then, for those who live in a world where magic and monsters reigned from the beginning, in a world where it would not be very strange to see a pink whale flying in the sky,

What is unreality?

‘… … what’s this.’

The scene I saw before my eyes was really close to the fantasy that people living in fantasy imagined.

The sun and moon jump out of the sky at high speed and then pass over to the other side, and in the meantime, the sky is clear and bright without any darkening. Above the pure blue sky, the Milky Way continued to flow to the left.

‘Elodie, while drawing a world like this, don’t you realize that it’s a dream?’

After all, an out-of-standard wizard needs to be at this level to be treated like a dream. At best, the scale of my past dreams, such as flying in the sky or meeting a giant monster, becomes shabby.

First of all, it was fortunate that I knew exactly that this place was a dream. It would be a big deal if even I was idly swimming in my dreams without realizing that this was a dream. I knew right away that it was a dream because it wasn’t my dream.

‘First, we need to find Elodie.’

I was in a green forest. My son-in-law is not open, so I can’t see the surroundings.

If the place I entered in my dream had not been for this place, I would have been able to check the absurd scale of this dream more closely, but the only thing that still feels like a dream is the nonsensical sky situation. That alone is enough though.

“But, where should I go?”

If you look around from here, you can’t see any roads. To put it bluntly, it is rather suspicious that the only place where I am in this lush forest is an vacant lot.

Can not help it. I can only fly here.

“Menosorphos.”

I spread my magic circle and use my auror to float my body in the air—

—I couldn’t do any of the things I said.

“… … what?”

Menosorphos do not activate. No, the magic circle is not drawn beyond the activation. From the weaving, it is edible.

“Please, this.”

I swallowed saliva. Then I check my body.

… … It was literally about a grain of mana settled in his body. Weaving did not exist in the first place, so the workshops, Menosorpo, and all kinds of weapons that were derived from it did not exist.

And above all,

“… … Small.”

my hands are small

I looked at my hands. small. No, let’s fix it. This is a child’s hand.

The body is fine and only the hands cannot do this.

I became a child. Perhaps, he became a boy about the same age as the Elodie I saw in the hut.

‘Did I even return to the past?’

During the transition to Elodie’s dream, I was also influenced by Osprite?

… … No, that’s weird.

Weaving is Frontier’s unique skill. I’ve probably had it since birth. I understand that the mana is low, but I can’t understand the lack of the weaving skill itself.

A frontier of this age would have been able to weave anything else.

‘What the hell happened to my body now?’

The moment my head was filled with such questions,

“Fron~~!”

As if familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, a lively and cute voice woke the trees in the forest and spread.

At the same time, the sound of light footsteps and rustling through the bushes.

It is a movement that is too comfortable for a child’s gesture,

“found!”

A small body protruded through the trees.

Needless to say, it was Elodie.

Elodie was looking at me with a bright smile.

“… … .”

“yes? Fron, why are you still?”

Without realizing it, I stared blankly at Elodie.

Blue eyes like a lake. Elodie’s face, who became a child, shone with innocence.

Above all else, a dazzling bright smile takes my mind away.

At that moment, a simple fact came to mind.

‘… … I’ve never seen Elodie laugh.’

Others had seen even a small smile, but there was not even a single smile on the face they had seen from Elodie the other day.

“ruler! Fron, don’t stay there and come to work. It’s dangerous here.”

Elodie walked forward and grabbed my hand and pulled me away. The sequence of actions was very natural.

“Where are you going?”

I asked. It was only then that I realized that my voice had a youthful look.

“Well, it’s a hut.”

Elodie responds as if it’s natural.

I don’t even know where to go out in this forest, but Elodie walked slowly as if he was sure of the correct direction.

It wasn’t very conspicuous, but whenever Elodie walked, the surrounding bushes and branches sneaked out of the way.

‘… … Oh, I hope this.’

I entered a space called an open space in the forest.

Elodie knows exactly where I am, and doesn’t think it’s strange at all to have suddenly entered my dream.

‘Even I am part of this dream.’

I am the frontier of the image that Elodie thinks now. At that time, Frontier was all troublesome, lazy and incompetent.

Just like the image of Elodie who saw it. That’s why I don’t even have weaving skills. Because Elodie is a skill I don’t know at all.

As if to prove it, I didn’t even walk a few steps following Elodie, but I was already out of breath. I can see just how weak Elody is to Frontier.

‘Dangerous.’

Created according to Elodie’s memory, I am truly incompetent. Probably weaker than the real Frontier at this time.

Besides, this is Elodie’s dream. No matter what happens, it’s not strange. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to deal with.

“don’t worry.”

As if reading my thoughts, Elodie spoke with those shining eyes.

“Because I will protect you.”

As I said those words, I could feel the strength of Elodie’s hand holding me tight.

“Because I promised.”
