After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

"I'm used to it, isn't it?"

Shrugging and waving back.

Ah, yes, I'm used to it.

After all, there is this trap here, and this is the second time I have experienced it.

-------------------------------------

The underground temple, built with ancient boulders and clay, is far from the solemn atmosphere.

There are no valuables here, and even the traces of any religious past that existed here are quite sparse.

But even so, the magician, Frodo, still has reasons and meaning for coming here.

That's why I hire myself, and I have no choice but to hire myself.

Ruins, and places like the one that have become Warcraft settlements, are facilities managed by state-approved guilds.

Rather than letting it go to waste, it would be better to let adventurers manage it and explore it from time to time.

The guild will profit from it, and the state will receive the payment from the guild, and each will pocket the money.

So-called money, no matter where it goes, will never stay in the pockets of the weak.

For this reason, they never allow outsiders to enter the facilities managed by the guild at will.

Whether it is bringing something back from there or conducting excavation surveys, it must be arranged with the permission of the guild or by entrusting the guild.

Otherwise, Frodo wouldn't be so eager to hire adventurers.

Frodo, who was following behind with a candlestick in her hand, would show a look of fear in her eyes just by hearing the sound of footsteps on the stone steps.

To be on the safe side, I stopped and looked back.

“…What?”

Seeing this, Frodo said this while pouting her lips and looking back at this side in a defiant manner.

Ah, in that case, it’s still okay to talk.

"Speaking of which, the monsters... well, I thought they would emerge from the darkness, but they're calmer than I imagined."

"That's not a demon beast, but a demon. Don't you, the learned magician, know this?"

The tone was like a sarcasm, and as expected, the magician glared at them.

Well, the goal has been achieved.

So, he shrugged, not giving it a chance to attack, and continued, "They're not fungi or viruses. They're living creatures, too, and some of them are naturally afraid of death. So don't worry, they won't attack you head-on."

The second time he fell into the trap he had already fallen into, it was not an accidental repetition of the same mistake.

Of course, there was a purpose behind deliberately pressing his hand on the mechanism at the entrance.

First of all, yes, we need to temporarily separate Frodo from Ames Castina.

"But you are indeed curious. The temple of the Old Believers is not a place suitable for sightseeing."

If we continue to move forward as a team, then no matter what happens, Aimee Castina will inevitably intervene.

Just for her innate sense of justice, kindness, and pretended gentlemanly behavior.

If possible, I naturally don't want to have any intersection with that brave man in this life.

As I said before, although she is very gentle, she also treats herself very well during the trip.

But, I don’t like it.

Maybe it was out of what could be called a dark feeling of jealousy, or maybe it was because of something else.

But, in short, I really don't like it, I can even say I hate it, because he always appears to be extremely gentle to everyone.

Those sweet words used to coax children always feel hypocritical, and sometimes even disgusting enough to make me want to vomit.

In my previous life, I always had this idea.

So, after rebirth, if I accidentally meet her again, I will naturally take a detour.

Chapter 12 The ability to manipulate memory

Of course, Aimee Castina undoubtedly did not have such an idea. Everything she did was for her inner sense of justice.

She believed in it deeply and took action to achieve it.

So, in fact, all my evaluations of her were based on arbitrary judgments without any evidence, and could even be said to be groundless accusations.

It is one's own dirty nature that insults others.

but.

Honestly, in this situation, it’s better to trust your own feelings.

Therefore, if possible, it is better to stay away from that guy in this life.

However, the situation is different now.

Filia's memory was sealed.

The same is true for Candice's memory, which is even more troublesome. It is even stuffed into the memory of an inexplicably dead guy.

Since you are already dead, why not just lie quietly in the coffin and not come out to harm others? Wouldn't that be better?

Honestly, I can't accept it at all.

Replacing other people's memories at will, isn't this a bit of a cheat? And there shouldn't be any limits, right?

When I think of this, I can't help but feel scared.

However, it's not entirely unrestricted, and it probably isn't possible to fabricate memories that didn't exist.

Based on the information we have obtained from the earliest times to the present, we can roughly know what this method of manipulating memory can do.

First, seal up some of the memories of a few people, such as the past self and the present Filia.

Secondly, change the cognition of most people, such as the forgotten Frodo Volgograd that should have been preserved in history.

And Candice, now except for herself, probably no one still remembers her, including Filia, who has the best relationship with her.

The final solution should be to stuff other people's memories into your body, although there should be restrictions such as time or place.

However, this kind of absurd thing is really terrifying and even makes people feel chilled.

The familiar friend around me was suddenly replaced by another person quietly.

If she didn't still remember Candice, then, wouldn't Candice have been completely replaced by someone else? And that person might even be her most beloved master.

Just by doing this, one can sense the man's overflowing evil taste.

So, it cannot be forgiven.

No matter who did this, no matter what purpose he had in doing it.

People like this who arbitrarily manipulate other people's lives must never be let off easily.

Therefore, He must be sought out.

We must find a way to give them the retribution they deserve.

"But you are indeed curious. The temple of the Old Believers is not a place suitable for sightseeing."

"...It's so annoying. This side has its own reasons."

"So, it's the story of the magician, right?"

"Well... Yeah."

Frodo nodded.

Honestly, I completely understood what was going on, but I nodded anyway, pretending to be concerned.

Of course.

why?

Because she had visited this place before for this purpose.

Having said that, this is just information I got from Candice, and I am not an eyewitness.

However, this side is indeed very clear.

Because, Candice Greyheit, a disciple of Frodo Volgograd, had also visited this place in order to follow in her master's footsteps and for that purpose.

At that time, I was already a member of the brave team.

According to the team configuration decided earlier, my task at that time was naturally to protect the magician.

However, the time of the visit was not as early as it is now, but he made a special detour during the journey of training.

However, Frodo actually grew up from... well, it can't be said to be a woman's age.

She has had her eyes on this place since she was still a girl. I really deserve your respect.

"What? You're researching magic, right? If it were you, it would be absolutely no problem. How could you not be able to do it?"

This is not just random talk, but a fact based on existing history.

The book records that Frodo Volgograd firmly believed that magic could change everything.

And in Candice's words, she always looks confident.

The trajectory of history speaks for itself—she did succeed in the end.

In past history, she established the bifurcation point of magic and was subsequently given the title of the Transformer.

So when it comes to magic, it always feels like there is nothing she can't do.

Just like Candice.

"Don't talk about random things."

However, the response to his witty remark was an extremely blunt one.

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide and look back.

"You know nothing about me, but you say it's okay? That's so easy for you to say!"

"That's right, that's just the way it is. He's just a thoughtless, uneducated fellow... Haha, whatever."

Although the language was stiff, it was full of passion, and a faint glow could be seen in the black pupils.

I don't know when it started, but she, who had been so relaxed and calm from the beginning, now began to look strangely anxious.

This is really amazing.

"Uneducated... indeed. But even such an uneducated fellow knows one thing—further west from here are international students from other countries, currently immersed in the study of ancient and modern magic at the academy."

As they walked forward, they talked about Frodo.

Then, facing the surprised looks, he shrugged and responded, "It's no big deal. In principle, adventurers will do some research on their clients beforehand."

Of course, I didn't investigate her specifically.

However, I did hear Candice say it during the trip.

Her master devoted himself to study here in Crossmaria when he was young, and he made a name for himself very early and was respected by people.

Things like this can be confirmed by just asking around here.

Well, if that's the case, then those complaints just now are indeed troubles unique to geniuses, the kind that ordinary people cannot imagine.

"...Ah, you know. You accepted the commission after you knew that, didn't you? Yeah, then feel free to look down on me. I'm just an ordinary girl from outside, but I'm actually doing such ridiculous and stupid things."

There were so many unexpected things today.

"Look down on", "an ordinary little girl".

What nonsense is this.

Or is it her own unique joke?

It is not funny.

"Haa, spare me... A talented guy is actually feeling inferior now?"
