I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist - Chapter 171 169

Recent evacuation life here has been very serene.Every morning and evening, I check Arnold’s condition, and I spend time making other preparations.

Anyway, every day I wished the brave team a safe journey.I managed to get rid of the monsters that had swarmed the city of the people of Rustu, and I managed to get through the Poisonous Mist Forest.I thought it was just the final showdown with the demon king–it was just like that one day.

Good morning.

As usual, I visited Arnold in the morning.I approach the window before glancing at him, wondering if he was still sleeping on the bed today.She opened the curtains and invited the pleasant morning sun into the room before turning back.

On a nice day, trying to throw the usual words – I opened my eyes to the black birds that could stand in Arnold’s sleeping body.

“Ugh…”

The painful roar that shook the tympanic membrane fell into the illusion of grabbing my heart with an eagle.

– Kuroda. I recognized her. There was too much.

Your heart is twitching. No, no, no, no.

I rushed over out of breath.

Ah, Arnold?

Kneeling on the floor, I peered into my face.Arnold’s sleeping face was distorted by anguish.

The sight in front of me is unbelievable, and I am dumbfounded for a few seconds.And then — as if to provoke me, I finally returned to myself, just past the black tip of my nose.

(The power of the Demon King…!)

The Black Tortoise was the power of the Demon King that Arnold should have sealed in his body.And that’s how you get into Arnold’s body.

Honestly, I don’t know much about it because I don’t have any expertise.All I knew was that Arnold was in danger.

Soon after that, I told Merzedes, Englit, and Siegfried about Arnold’s situation.They were all surprised and rushed to Arnold.

Mercedes was the one who checked on Arnold.After observing Arnold’s condition for a few minutes, she said slowly.

”Perhaps… but the sealing magic is weakening”

― ― The sealing magic was weakening.

Is it because Arnold’s health is already at its limit?

To those of us who have completely shut up, Mr Merzedes goes on.

To be precise, I think the demon king’s resistance is getting stronger.

Now that the final showdown was approaching in earnest, I guess I was about to return to the Demon King.

The men who dived into the city failed, and the brave man’s stalemate didn’t last long.The Demon King must be in a hurry.That’s why you’re so hard-line.

If the seal is weakened, either it is broken or it is sealed again.

Melzedez asks, looking at Arnold, who is suffering.

What am I supposed to do? Should I have someone else cast sealing magic again? ”

Merzedes shakes his pale face several times.

“No. As I said before, sealing magic is a very dangerous magic.”It is not magic that is inherently applied to the human body. It’s too dangerous. ”

Mr. Englit and Mr. Siegfried have never opened their mouths before.I waited quietly for Mr. Merzedes’ words.

Merzedes continues in a slow tone, so as not to cause us any unnecessary confusion, or to choose words one by one.

Besides, if you cast sealing magic on Arnold from the outside, not only some of the power of the Demon King, but also Arnold will be subject to sealing.

In other words, it was extremely difficult to re-seal the Demon King’s power by applying sealing magic to Arnold in his current state.

In that case, the rest of the way…

I guess we’ll just have to put up with what Arnold’s got to put up with.

Mr. Inglés finally opens his mouth.Merzedes nodded hesitantly, but certainly.

Silence falls. Heavy, heavy silence.

Is there anything I can do?Even now, Arnold is fighting the power of the Demon King alone.Can’t you help him like that?

“Let’s hurry to the temple.”I’ll make the barrier as strong as I can. ”

Sieg told him to cut the story and instructed the people of Rustu who were outside the room.Then the people of Rustu will arrive and carefully transport Arnold’s body out.

Arnold was transported. This was followed by Inglés and Merzedes.I tried to follow their backs, but I couldn’t move as if my feet were sewn to the ground.

It was me and Mr. Zeke who were left in the room.I felt his gaze, but I couldn’t afford to respond to it.

(What should I do, what should I do…?)

What I can do for Arnold.Somehow, the shock slowed down her brain, and something came to mind about Elvira’s experiment in this city a few months ago.

“Prototype…”

I could see that Zeke had reacted to the words that had spilled out of my mouth in the corner of my sight.

I looked up at Sieg, who stood beside me.At that point, he seemed to understand what I was about to say.

Sieg, can you get in touch with Lukash and Diona?

Immediately.

Nodding, Zeke rushed out of the room.I looked at the empty bed for a few seconds and then went outside.

On the way to the room where the light vessels are located, they call their name with a small voice.

Akari, Akari?

Drinking water of the Spirit created by the Spirit of Water.That is indispensable for a prototype.

Perhaps you responded to my call, but a few minutes later, the acarids appeared in front of me, trying to tear the space apart.I rushed over in a hurry and hugged the little body.

Looking at me, it seemed that I felt something, and Acari looked anxious.

Laura?

“Please, help me.”

The acaricus nodded to my chest.It’s warm. I think it might be trying to comfort me that I’m going to be swallowed up by anxiety.

A sealing magic that was unleashed. It was extremely difficult to re-cast magic from the outside.

What if some of the Demon King’s powers were to run wild to unseal it?That is why the same phenomenon as autoimmune disease may occur.Maybe Arnold’s life…

I shook my head to shake off the anxiety that passed through my head.Then I ran to the room with the Light Artifact.When I visited, I already saw Lukash and Diona on the surface of the water.

Laura, I heard what you said.Arnold’s condition……]

Diona cuts out in a calm voice.Next to it, Lukash leaned down with a blue face.

I sit on the chair in front of the vessel and briefly say what I need to do, being careful not to shake my voice.

“That’s right, and I was wondering if I could use the prototype, just like Elvira did.”

You mean you’re going to kick the power of the Demon King out of Arnold?

Lukash’s stiff voice asked.With his face down, he looked down at me with his gaze.

─ ─ Drive the Demon King’s power out of Arnold’s body.If we’re going to get the same results as Elvira did, we’re going to get it.But I think it would be against Arnold’s will.

Just before Arnold fell asleep for a long time, he refused to drink the prototype.The top priority was to cut down the power of the Demon King.

If I use the prototype to get rid of the power of the Demon King from Arnold’s body – that power will return to the Demon King, of course.That shouldn’t be what he wants.If the Demon King’s power was strengthened, Lukash and the others would be forced to fight harder.

The best idea is to weaken the resistance of the Demon King’s power with the prototype, and use Arnold’s sealing magic to suppress it again.But I think that’s how it goes.

“Or if I could weaken the power that is now rampaging in Arnold…”

All right, let’s make it right away.

Lukash nodded vigorously as his voice trembled in confusion.

Whatever the outcome, we must devise countermeasures.Apart from prescribing or not prescribing, it is better to make a prototype.

Hey, Laura

I was summoned to Lukash suddenly.The voice was trembling.

If I solved Arnold’s sealing magic, I wouldn’t be able to do it.If Arnold unleashes the power of the Demon King, then…… ”

With a sad face, Lukash stepped up against us.

― ― He is deeply afraid that Arnold’s life may be lost.As long as we lose our loved ones, we don’t care if our battles get tough.That’s what I thought.

Gentle childish words that leave no choice but to abandon one’s companions.

The sealing magic can only be solved by the person himself.

It was the voice of a young girl who interrupted.

Lukash looked back at her body.Behind him, Elvira stared at us with black eyes that closely resembled her brother.

She was not crying.Rin stands alone, perhaps more upset than anyone, by her precious brother’s crisis.

Oniichan will definitely not solve the sealing magic.Even if I’m going to die. ”

It was the word of a proud sorcerer, and the word of his sister, who knew his brother better than anyone else.

Elvira affirmed. I think, without using vague expressions, I was absolutely convinced that that was the case.

Because oniichan has been like that for a long time.

Elvira laughed. There’s nothing I can do about it. That’s what I said, it was a dazzling but overflowing smile.

–She’s already ready.No, I’m taking my brother’s readiness seriously.Quicker than anyone, faster than anyone.

“I’ll try everything I can.”

I noticed and said so.

If we don’t do anything, Arnold may die.That’s why I don’t know if I can keep the Demon King’s power under control by prescribing a prototype.Since Arnold doesn’t intend to solve the seal magic, if the prototype acts to drive the Demon King out, there may be an unexpected reaction. In the unlikely event that the power goes out, Lukash and the others will be burdened–

I don’t know which way to choose.But neither time nor the Demon King could wait.

Elvira nodded loudly, biting her lower lip.Couldn’t Lukash say any more to her like that? She swallowed a lot of words and raw saliva and her throat rose wide, then turned back to us.

We’ll be able to go to the Demon King as soon as possible.

Yes, it was all solved by defeating the Demon King.Should we just pray and wait for the moment?

Cut the comms and exit.And I started walking without a clue.

What would Arnold do if he did this?He will choose which option.

As soon as I realized it, I was just in front of the bed where Arnold had been put to bed.I touched the mattress gently, but it was cold.Now Arnold is lying in the temple, protected by the barrier of the people of Rustu.

“Arnold…”

Ampere, I felt like I was being called.–No, I want to hear that voice.

He is always calm, looks forward, never gives up, and acts with an angry stomach more than anyone else.Even when my sister fell ill, she wanted to be a concoctionist just to find a cure.Even when the Demon King took over his body, he resisted until the end, and finally sealed some of his power in his body.

I’ve seen him so close.So… I’ll go ahead with my stomach closed.Just like him.

I remember Elvira desperately.

(When Elvira was given a drink of spirit water, the Demon King stood still in her body to recover from the damage.After that, I let Elvira drink the prototype… and hated the power of the hero and the power of the light, so she came out)

However, the decisive difference from the previous one was that the Demon King’s power was aiming for the timing of his escape.And Arnold probably wasn’t willing to solve the seal magic himself.The earlier we talked, the reversal of each other’s aims.

When Elvira was born, we wanted to get rid of the Demon King, and the Demon King wanted to remain a parasite.On the other hand, the Demon King wants to go out this time, and we want him to be quiet in Arnold’s body.

But is it okay to prescribe a prototype just like Elvira did?When I prescribed the drinkable water of the spirits, the demon king in Elvira became quiet once, because the demon king wanted to be “there”, so it is not necessarily the same as this time.

We don’t know what’s going to happen without precedent.Besides, Arnold and the Demon King were still struggling fiercely.Poor interference can cause unexpected reactions.

(Too dangerous to bet on)

If I made a mistake here, the worst world would fall into the hands of the Demon King.

It seems safer and more certain to consider how to keep Arnold’s sealing magic until the day Lukash defeated the Demon King than to consider prescribing a prototype.What we need to do now, then, is not directly interfere with the power of the Demon King.

(If you don’t want me to come out, you have to create an environment where I don’t want the power of the Demon King to come out.such an environment that will cause a lot of damage when you leave)

What still comes to mind is the existence of a prototype.

If you wrapped Arnold’s body with the holy power that the demon king hated, wouldn’t that make it an environment that the demon king’s power didn’t want to leave?Moreover, even if the seal magic is broken and the power comes out, if the sacred power can do the damage, it may suppress the demon king’s strengthening of his fighting power ─ ─

One second is a waste of time.Even if my thoughts were completely out of place, nothing would start if I didn’t start to move anyway.

I summoned the acorns again.It wasn’t just the acorns. All the Spirit Lords who gave me Spirit Stones.

Um, I need to talk to you about something.

And so the operation meeting began.
