I ask Xiaomei, who stares at me blankly.

"Are you feeling okay?
"Yes ...... it's okay,
"It seems that when you're back in human body, you're going to pass out. That's the guy I just saved.
"Faint!"?
Do you have a connection to your memory?
"Yes, yes

　I see.

"Can you stand up more than that, Xiaomei?　Yeah, you better stand up against your own shadow when you stand up.
Shadow and back to back is ...... like this?

　With a curious tilt of her head, she did as she was told.
　Standing up and standing with the sun directly in front of her, she let her shadow go directly behind her.

　Facing her, you nodded firmly to reassure her.

Yeah, that's it. That's what happens when your shadow and your eyes meet.
"Shadows and ...... eyes meet ......
I know it's a strange expression, but that's the way it is.
Yes, I understand. I guess I'll just have to put my shadow behind me and not look.
That kind of thing.

"Mr. Alexander. Do you know what it is yet?
You're smart, Xiaomei. Yes, this situation - no, I know the name of this magic and what it does. And yes, I also know what they're after.
"So much!

　Xiaomei was astonished.

The name of the magic is Hershel. The spell was created a long time ago and the effect is to replace the soul with a monster, just as Xiaomei had experienced.
"How could you do that?" ......
"I've got a theory. Monsters are basically low-ranking souls. The theory is that they did something bad in a previous life and were turned into monsters to be hunted by humans to avoid the sin. That's the theory.
"I see.
On the other hand, the rank of the soul is directly related to a person's ability. Of course, to have a good life, you have to have a certain ability. Even if money is a good life, it takes a certain talent to make money.
Yes.
Then there was a person who wondered. What would happen if I put a high-ranking human soul into the body of a monster that is so strong even with a low-ranking soul in it?
"Does that mean the monster will be more powerful?
There was a group of people who tried to do that. As it turns out, it was right. No, it was even more impressive.
More amazing results ......
"When a high-ranked soul (、、、、、、) enters a low-ranked body (、、、、、、、), it performs better than the soul's original rank.
What, how long is it?

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.

I heard that the results were roughly one rank higher. For example, if Xiaomei had become a monster. If he had become a monster, he would have been an A-ranked soul, but he would have been an S-ranked power.
"Oh, no. ......

The people who created a powerful army of monsters with Herschel's magic, drunk with power, soaring through the air. Finally, they decided to take over the world.
"Let's take over the world

　Gulp, the sound of Xiaomei's gulping down of raw spit could be heard.
　There is power in those words, they make good people nervous.

Of course it was thwarted, at great cost. The problem is, I suppose, is that someone's come along to do it again. And they tried to do it here, with enough souls, maybe most of them rank B and above, to get into a magic school.
"I'm in big trouble!
Yeah, right. A person who is turned into a monster, it varies from person to person, but after a month, the person who used the magic, the 'creator', can no longer disobey and become absolutely obedient to the command.
"Absolute Obedience ......
The group has come up with yet another theory.
What kind of thing is that?

　Xiaomei, anxious about what lay ahead in the story .

''What would happen if I put the soul of a high-ranking god into the body of a low-ranking human?
"......

　You can't get rid of it and finally become pale.

Well, I guess that didn't happen. But we have established a way to create a stable, powerful, and absolutely obedient monster army. And now somehow it's back. We've got to stop them.
What should I do?

　Xiaomei turned pale and asked back in a trembling voice.

''Hmm, let's start with this.
"Hey, like this?


"Yeah, keep going.
Well, that's a bad idea, isn't it?

　Xiaomei asked me quizzically.
　I smiled at her. Seeing that, Xiaomei became more and more curious.

　Slightly later, I started to move unsteadily.
　Slowly I drew my philosopher's sword and let go of it in a fluid, fluid motion.
　The sage's sword passed by Xiaomei's face.

　It was a great feeling.

"Oh, Master Alexander?
"Hey, why ......

　Behind Xiaomei, a hoarse voice could be heard from the tip of the wise man's sword.

''What did you think I was blabbing for?　It's for this.
"Oh, ......, so Dear Alexander, keep facing me, ......

　Smiling at Xiaomei.

　I stood facing her and talked to her while she stood with her shadow on her back.
　I've been watching my shadow and my long story is a trap.

　I've been laying traps, waiting to be caught.

"Dear Alexander: ......

　When Xiaomei got up, she looked at me with even more respect than when she thought she was saved.
　He looked at me with respect.

　Then I put the magic into the wise man's sword.

　It will be tricky.
　Don't kill, don't let them escape.

　I saw it again as it attacked me, blocking every counterattack and escape route.
