Chapter 56 Exorcis (1/2)

”So? What are you going to do? Try to complete the quest anyway?”

Ria said to Sheila before she sipped on a coffee. It took both of them a few minutes to calm down their nerve, or rather they were still creeped out by the fact that someone has just entered Sheila's bedroom with a single girl uniform. Why would you go as far as to do that? No, maybe the app 'teleport' the outfit? Ria hopes that was the case since it wouldn't be that much creepy than an actual person breaking into a house, but still pretty scary nonetheless. After all, the plan Sheila had brought forward only to Ria was known to the person behind the system.

But then again, is it really a person behind the system? What if it was actually an artificial intelligence? Either way, it's the only possibility that the plan was exposed to the system since they were talking about it in the Trial Tower. No one else should have known about it.

”If I didn't know about the girl, I would have said no, so I guess I have to.”

”And that's how you will get caught in the future trouble. If the quest had appeared first and you could reject it, you would have done so right?”

”Of course. I don't have any sort of obligation to do so; why should I?”

”Wait—what do you mean by future trouble?”

” Sigh , nevermind. So, how are you going to do about this whole exorcist evil spirit thingy?”

Sheila fell into deep pondering when she was asked this question from Ria. Do I have to buy a skill for that? But I don't have enough gold for that, Nah scratch that, I just don't want to use my gold for that. I only have about 500golds left! I had just bought Shadow Magic skill after all. I'd rather save the leftover gold for a just in case situation. This is an important quest, but she would rather find another way for it.

Anyway, what was with the reward? She had already acquired the access to enter the Trial Tower by either via her phone or the key on Ria. Is it a different kind of access? If the system knows about her plan, then was the access actually for... Interesting.

While Sheila was deeply pondering on such a thought, her eyes glanced over to the figure in front of her, and a thunderbolt suddenly struck her mind. Why had she never thought about this? The answer was right in front of her.

”Ria.”

”Hmm? What is it? Did you figure out something?”

”Yes, I found a way to exorcise the evil spirit.”

”Oh, is that so? Then mind telling me about it?”

”Uh- actually, it got something to do with you so, yes, In fact, I wanted you to know about it.”

Ria confusion was evidence as Sheila could see what kind of expression Ria was currently making since she was seated right in front of her.

”What do you mean by that? What's this got to do with me? For your information, I know nothing about exorcism.”

”You're healer, right? I mean, your class.”

”I am, what about it? —Wait, are you going to say what I'm thinking right now?”

”Yes. In most RPGs, the healer was also known to be the most powerful weapon against the undead. Their healing magic was deadly against such a creature.”

”But the evil spirit is not an undead right? Or let's say it is, does my healing magic even works against it? This is not a game, you know? What work in the game might not actually work in real life.”

”Yes, that might be so, but my sixth sense was telling me that this is definitely going to work.”

”How reliably can your sixth sense be that could risk both of our life?”

”It's definitely reliable. Don't worry; I got this far because I followed it.”

”Maybe you shouldn't trust on such thing too much? You don't know for sure.”

”Don't worry, just believe in me who believes in you.”

”I'm getting even more worried now.”

***

In front of Sylvia's house, two suspicious silhouettes could be seen walking around the corner of the street while looking around as if they didn't want anyone to see them doing something illegal. Both had a feminine and slim figure of a girl. One of them had red hair with a mask covering his/her face while the other has blue hair with also another mask covering his/her face from being seen. It was a weird duo who dressed up in an odd mask covering their whole face. Of course, the figures were none than Sheila and Ria.

”The disguise skill you have is pretty convenient. I wish I had those instead of wearing this blue wig on me.”

”Maybe if you saved up enough gold for it and I might get you one.”

”Nice! That's a promise then.”

”Anyway, I will enter first to make sure it's safe before I give you a signal for you to get inside, okay?”

”I don't know how to feel about this, but okay.”

”Just don't think about it, all right, I will go ahead.”
