Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 412
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 412
The cathedral’s empty reception room.
A boy and a girl with white hair were sitting spaced apart.
‘You seem kind of angry.’
Simon was watching Lethe’s eyes.
He looks forward with his legs crossed and an expressionless face. I felt the coldness of not wanting to have a single word with you.
‘Maybe I should have just pretended that I didn’t see it.’
There’s rarely a chance to make fun of that perfect Lethe.
However as soon as they reunited their faces turned bright red and they said ‘Aaah!’ The expression on her face as she ran towards me was so funny that I ended up teasing her and calling her a saint.
“……What brings you here?”
Surprisingly it was Lethe who spoke first. Of course it was a voice that gave off a chill.
“Ah upon receiving a request from Israfil-”
“I have no fear really?”
Her golden eyes stared straight at Simon.
“A necromancer and a legion commander entered the Cathedral of the Holy Federation? Do you want to be completely purified and die?”
“? But you also joined the Dark Alliance.”
“No that and this are different!”
Lethe blushed and got excited.
“At that time I was not a saint and more than anything Anna’s life depended on it so I had no choice…!”
“I had no choice because it was a request from Israfil who saved my mother.”
“This guy really doesn’t want to say a word…!”
Ok.
At that time Israfil approached with a soundproof barrier in place looked at Lete and placed a finger on her lips.
Lethe was pricked by that sight and then spoke in a quiet voice.
“……Ha you shouldn’t try not to say a word.”
“Phew!”

Simon ended up bursting out laughing. Lete says ‘Hey!!’ He raised his arm while saying so.
“Make sure to only use pretty words and nice words. Lethe. Words are a portrait of my heart and my own dignity.”
“……Is there anything nice to say in this situation?”
Lethe pursed her lips with a sour expression.
‘ha.’
Yes I gave in a hundred times and wanted to meet Simon someday.
Of course I definitely didn’t want to see that face but since we both became saints and corps commanders we had to compete to see who was stronger. I wanted to compare the lives of Kizen and Afnel and most of all I wanted to hear Anna’s story.
But definitely! I didn’t want to show this shameful sight of my life’s dark history!
“Now calm down both of you.”
Israfil said calming down the fussing Lethe.
“Israfil the saint of the sea would like to entrust a request to two people.”
It was the same story Simon had heard at home.
It is said that an evil evil is being felt in the north and to destroy it not only divinity but also darkness is needed.
“Go to the area where evil lurks with Letedo Simon. So that we can find out what’s going on there and fix it.”
“…….”
Lethe lowered her head and bit her lip slightly.
“Why are you doing that? Lethe.”
“I’d like to go since it’s Israfil’s request but I. My future schedule as a saint-”
“Ah~”
Israfil smiled.
“If that’s the case don’t worry and go comfortably. I decided to take care of all of Lethe’s remaining schedule.”
“!!”
Lethe suddenly raised her head.
“You’ve had a really hard time Lete.”
Israfil came over and hugged Lethe warmly.
“Even if a saint dies the next saint is born immediately. That’s why there are many people who keep a check on the new saint and envy her. In order to persuade both Afnel and federal executives I may have taught a little more strictly.”
A friendly voice like a spring breeze.
Simon who was watching from the side saw Israfil as a ‘saint’ itself at this moment.
“Even if you blame me and blame me I have nothing to say but please know that all of this was truly done for Lethe. Lethe had a bad reputation in Afnel for her personality and she had to correct this in a short period of time so that many people would accept it.”
“……ah.”
“It may be a difficult time but sometimes good things happen like this as you go through it.”
She let go of Lethe and smiled good-naturedly.
“Who told you to be buried in the duties and duties of a saint? A saint is just a status and Lethe is Lethe. I hope you can get away from the work of a saint and have a good time as Lete Chardena.”
Lethe’s eyes were filled with emotion.
“Israfil!!”
Then he rushed to the station and hugged Israfil tightly. Israfil also stumbled from surprise but smiled and stroked her head.
Simon was also watching with a smile on his face and Israfil spoke quietly.

“Please take care of Lete.”
Simon nodded vigorously.

This is what I feel after coming to the Holy Federation but Israfil’s preparation was thorough.
Not only Simon but also Lethe’s fake identity was prepared and even the adventurer’s outfit was set up.
“Your final destination is ‘Eskail’ village in Kinver Province.”
The ‘Kinber’ region located in the northernmost part of the Holy Federation was an area where involvement of Afnel and Central Priests was prohibited due to a past agreement.
Therefore like Simon Lethe had to hide her identity and enter a false identity as a priest in another region.
“Remember Lethe. Revealing one’s status as a saint should always be a ‘last resort’.”
Israfil emphasized again.
“If you use your status you can make people submit for a while. But they will even try to lock the door to their hearts and hide the truth. The most important thing is to win people’s hearts with Lete’s true self.”
“Yes Israfil.”
“ah! But do you two like children?”
Simon and Lethe blinked at the somewhat unexpected question.
“……Well I like it.”
“The two will go as ‘teachers’ to teach children. It is the only way to enter the closed Eskail village.”
Escail completely rejects outsiders but accepts outsiders as far as the teachers who teach the children are concerned.
Simon raised his hand.
“What should I teach my children?”
“You just need to teach continental language simple arithmetic common sense elemental magic and white magic.”
“Can children even use magic?”
“yes. They say so.”
This time Lethe raised her hand.
“Wait a minute! Then the other teachers we went to before us…”
“You’re sharp as expected Lete.”
The smile disappeared from Israfil’s mouth.
“He went missing. Their whereabouts are still unknown. The teacher before that and the teacher before that too.”
A disappearance case! Simon’s expression became serious.
“And a teacher who was the only one who survived there said that just thinking about that time his face turned white and he went into fits and refused to make any statements.”
Israfil held out two photos.
It was a photo of a woman wearing a priest’s uniform wearing glasses and smiling brightly and a woman with dark skin and spots for her eyes.
Both of them had the word ‘missing’ attached to their photos.
“Please let me know if you find any traces of previous teachers during the investigation. The family is waiting for news.”
Simon nodded and accepted the photo.
…What on earth is going on in that town?
“It’s worth knowing.”
Unlike Simon who was stiff Lethe smiled and sneered.
“If you do something strange we just sweep it away. what.”
“Investigation and resolution of evil is the top priority. Lethe.”
“yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”
And because the destination Escail Village has a harsh climate all year round it is impossible to enter the teleportation magic circle.
They said we had to stop at a city called ‘Kula’ in front of it and climb up the mountain range.
At that time Lete who had been listening to Israfil’s explanation suddenly intervened.
“Kula? Isn’t it a very famous resort there?”
“As expected Lethe knows too!”
Israfil also smiled brightly and folded his hands.
“It is a very pretty port city with snow-capped mountains fully visible from the city and the emerald sea next to it.”
Simon and Lethe’s faces lit up.
“I also reserved accommodation in advance. Lethe has had a hard time living as a saint and Simon must also be tired from the long journey since he left the Dark Alliance. I think it would be a good idea to spend about three days sightseeing in the village and gathering information about the village of ‘Eskail’ and its evil before departing.”
“sightseeing!”
Lethe was shaking with happiness but when she saw Simon next to her her expression cooled down a bit.
“It would have been better if the guy I was going with wasn’t this guy.”
“……Are you still angry?”
Simon laughed bitterly.
“Now and this.”
Israfil handed over the chalk-shaped necklace he was wearing around his neck to Lethe.
“It is an artifact that seals the power of a saint. Since only the saint’s power is sealed there will be no major problems using divinity.”
“Oh I really lived.”
Lethe smiled as she accepted the necklace.
“I was annoyed because the stars kept bouncing around.”
“……star?”
“Please excuse me while I speak.”
Then the escort paladins entered the room and said they had to go to the next event.
In response Israfil stepped forward. He revealed that he had received permission from Sky Island to go instead of Lethe.
The paladins fell to the ground with thrilled faces and praised her mercy.
“……Those bastards don’t go that far to me.”
Lethe grunted.
After parting ways with Israfil Simon and Lete changed into adventurer clothes and prepared to leave the cathedral and go to the resort village of Kula.
Israfil has prepared a teleportation magic circle right nearby.
“Whew.”
Lethe who had changed into comfortable adventurer clothes and tied her hair looked very relaxed.
Before we knew it her tone of voice and demeanor had returned to the easy-going Lethe that Simon had always known.
“……What should I look at? I’ll rip out your eyes.”
But the problem was that it came back too much.
I almost wondered if it was the same person who was smiling at me while giving grace to the believers in the cathedral earlier.
“Lethe. Can I ask you one thing?”
“Don’t ask.”
“What does that bouncing star mean?”
“I told you not to ask! bastard!”
She touched her forehead and said ‘Haaa.’ I sighed.
“……Do you really want to know?”
“huh.”
Lethe raised her finger with an expressionless face and tapped her forehead.
‘?’
I was blinking wondering what to do when suddenly Lethe lifted her index finger from her forehead.
Then a star-shaped effect made of nova exploded! and jumped out.
“It’s like this.”
Simon was on the verge of bursting into laughter a second time.
I desperately suppressed laughter.
“Is it that funny?”
Perhaps out of desperation Lethe just tried jumping around in place. Every time a star-shaped nova exploded.
“Isn’t this a magic princess? What is this? really.”
Lethe muttered irritably and put the black chalk that Israfil had given her around her neck.
Now the star-shaped effect no longer appears. As she activated the power of the saint the faint star shape that remained in her eyes disappeared.
“Congratulations on regaining your freedom.”
Simon said with a grin.
“That’s funny. Freedom that can only be achieved by sealing something.”
Although she spoke harshly the corners of her mouth turned up slightly when she turned her head.
So the two arrived at a vacant lot just 10 minutes away.
The teleportation magic circle and Israfil’s henchmen were waiting.
“Then I will activate the magic circle right away.”
“yes!”
As Simon and Lethe stepped up the magic circle activated with a dazzling light.
* * *
After a while Simon could not help but be amazed at the scene that unfolded before his eyes.
‘Kula’ a famous resort in the Holy Federation.
The clean streets are filled with cute houses with blue roofs that look like fairy tales would live in.
The cold air of the mountains is trapped by the flow of mana so the weather in Kula is mild. The biggest attraction of this area was being able to see the snow-capped mountains to the north while enjoying a swim in a swimsuit.
however.
Whiiiiiiiing!
‘It’s extremely cold!’
This area where you can go swimming in the sea was experiencing harsh cold weather.
