chapter 51
51 – Episode 51 Ghost Night
“Did you sleep with the curtains open?”
The time when Stella encountered the ghost.
I was also witnessing a ghost right in front of my eyes. The shape of the ghost
closely resembled mine. But that’s not me.
It was a fake that SinB imitated based on me.
Faced with the ghost, I let it be. Ghosts can’t invade the inn anyway.
All they can do is just roam.
“Looks like you’re asleep.”
I lay down again and tried to sleep, but I couldn’t. So I got up completely.
It was then. The window frame shook slightly, and the ghost shouted something. I
frowned.
It was strange that a ghost could exercise this level of physical force.
EE
It is not unusual for a ghost to appear on a mysterious island.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about if there is a ghost that can be
described as a kind of ghost in Cadian’s childhood or your own childhood, which
you encountered while walking on the street in the first place.
Rather, Stella put on an expression full of interest.
She got up from the bed and looked out the window to see the ghost.
“This is how it feels.”
I put my hand on the window sill. The ghost shouted something, but it was
completely soundproofed so I couldn’t hear anything. The ghost tried to break
into the room several times.
However, since the ghost could not enter through dozens of barriers, only the
sound of the ghost colliding with the barrier resounded like a stone hitting
glass.
A ghost really looks like a ghost. Stella took her eyes off the ghost, which
made her spine stand on end when she faced him.
she stepped out of the room.
The accommodation was large enough to form a kind of house. If you close the
curtains, you won’t see the ghost anymore, but you’re already awake.
I left the room with the feeling that I should just leave the living room.
“Are you awake?”
On the sofa in the living room was Cadian. He took a glass of water in his hand
and took a sip.
“You woke up too.”
Stella sat right next to Cadian. When she held out her hand, Cadian smiled and
handed her a glass of water.
I was still thirsty, but it went well. Stella quenched her throat.
Took.
Fighting.
A ghost knocked on the window. The source of the noise was Stella’s room.
“You must have met a ghost.”
“I think we met when we didn’t close the curtain.”
“Why don’t you draw the curtains?”
“I hated it because it was frustrating.”
Stella glanced sideways.
“Why were you with me?”
“1 was also out without drawing the curtains.”
rattle-
This time the sound came from my room. It was quite loud. Is the power of
mystery quite strong? Or was it a full moon today?
It seems that the ghost’s physical power has become a bit stronger.
Stella, who had heard the rattle, said a word.
“The ghosts seem to be strong.”
“I mean.”
I agreed. It is in line with the saying that if the glass window shakes, the
barrier is also shaken.
I’ll have to watch the situation first, but I’ll have to talk to Slant once
tomorrow morning comes.
“stellar. Was it a full moon today?”
“I remember it wasn’t the full moon.”
“Then it seems that this mystery has become particularly strong.”
It’s not even full moon… This much power. It was a strange thing. Stella
chanted, probably feeling the same way as I did.
“It is a strange night.”
There’s nothing to do all night. So we talked to pass the time.
“Those ghosts don’t seem to be simple mana phenomena.”
“That’s right. As Stella probably already knows, these are not just mana
phenomena, but memory phenomena created by memories, plus mana overlaid on the
moonlight, creating egos called ghosts.”
Memories do not stop at simply copying the past, but also contribute to
inserting the self of the past.
In addition, the moonlight awakens Mana’s ego, so the ego of memories and the
ego formed as Mana go through chaos and eventually become a ghost.
“If there is no moonlight, do you go in normally?”
“Probably so.”
“Perhaps that means there is a chance that it will be something else.”
“Usually the form is created based on the ego of memories, so general ghosts
lose their ego as mana the moment the morning sun rises when the power of
moonlight disappears.”
I spoke.
“However, sometimes a mutant with one side of the ego collapsed appears. If the
moonlight ego is a ghost that defeats the memories ego, it loses its form formed
by memories during the day and becomes a full-fledged ghost at night.”
“Then, what about the cases where the ego of memories defeated the ego in the
moonlight?”
“On the contrary, it loses its shape at night and recomposes again during the
day.”
Unintentionally, the conversation gradually leans towards magic. I thought it
wouldn’t be bad to check Stella’s magic skills at this point.
“stellar. I don’t even have time, but I learned the other day…”
rattle-
I ignored it because it was a noise I heard often. The ghost must have shaken
the window again.
I thought so. But something felt strange. The reason I told them to close the
curtains was because when ghosts witnessed humans, they tried to approach them
with such interest.
But now it’s been quite a while since I’ve been away from my room.
It’s been quite a while since the ghosts closed the door so they couldn’t see
this place, so the original ghosts lost consciousness due to a collision with
their egos and had to wander in search of new stimuli.
But… why?
Why are the ghosts still trying to break the windows?
“Hasn’t quite a bit of time passed?”
To my sudden remark, Stella replied.
“It seems that a time or two passed.”
Stella got up from her seat. As we talked about the time, I realized that it was
still dawn.
Realizing that her mind was fine but her body was languid because she hadn’t
slept enough, she tried to take a nap until the sun rose.
I saw a ghost in Stella’s room through the crack in the door. A ghost that looks
like Stella.
The guy was screaming something. Stella tried to draw the curtains. If you draw
the curtains, you won’t see ghosts anymore.
“stellar. for a moment.”
n hmm? n
I passed her and looked out the window. I see countless ghosts. that was weird I
could intuitively realize that something was happening.
“1 have to get out of here.”
I have to go out and meet the owner of the magic tower and the slant. Things
happening on the mysterious island now seemed foreign and dangerous.
“Leave her alone?”
“no. It is safer to go together.”
The barriers were disorganized. The ghost’s power was unusually strong. You
never know when a ghost might invade.
So you’d be better off with me than leaving Stella in here. I took Stella’s hand
and led her.
“Why are you holding hands?”
“The Mysterious Island has an incredibly high mana density. Mana far above
average weighs down the space, resulting in the movement of the space—”
It was a moment of explanation. A ghost suddenly appeared in front of me. It was
just 20 steps after leaving the accommodation. I snapped my fingers lightly.
right!
The magic flew away in an instant. The ghost collapses in the air. I still ran,
holding Stella’s hand.
No, running doesn’t match the stride. I felt my speed slow down in imbalance.
So I put Stella on my back.
“It’s the first time you’ve been lifted up.”
“It will be a little uncomfortable.”
Taaat.
kicked the ground and ran More and more ghosts come in, but it’s perfect! The
sound of the street rang lightly.
Dismissed!
Blue lightning brightened the dark night.

Yohane and Arien faced ghosts that looked just like them.
The two of them slept with the curtains closed, but nevertheless, the ghosts who
recognized ‘Mana’ tried to break into the two’s accommodation regardless of the
curtains.
The two wake up from the noise and face each other.
“Yohane. how will we do it.”
“well. Arien. For now, let’s wait until the sun comes up.”
There was no other option than to wait. Feeling ominous, Yohane lowered the
curtains that had been pulled up again.
Rumble- Rumble- Rumble-
The windows were shaking violently. Arien swallows dry saliva. As a wizard, you
always had to prepare for the worst case scenario.
So the circuit floated in the air. He conceived the barrier first and then
created powerful attack magic.
The base of ghosts is mana. If the mana is scattered, the ghost will eventually
disappear, so I saved the attack magic that can leave a meaningful trace on the
mana in advance.
Clink!!!
Before long, the ghost broke the barrier as if the preparations were not
useless.
If the barrier is broken, it is no longer a matter of windows being smashed.
gulp.
Arien and Yohane stretched out their hands nervously. The circuit containing
mana emits blue light.
Paperweight!
The ghost that was about to come inside was hit directly by lightning magic and
lost mana.
Seeing the disappearing ghost, I let out a sigh of relief. Yohane tousled her
hair and looked at the shattered window.
The barrier was broken, and the ghosts attacked. It wasn’t just that this
happened here. This is what is happening on all mystical islands.
On the mysterious island, ghosts were running rampant.
Yohane laughed.
“Something went right.”
It was as he said.
The island of mystery looked like it should be called the island of ghosts.
Early morning when the sun hasn’t risen yet.
Ear cries rang out.
