126-Interlude 25: "The last curtain goes up" [Noise Dies]




 Noyes Deece was looking down at the central square from an empty classroom in the main school building.





 Noyes twisted his hips and held his fingertips to the edge of his lips.
 Sunlight was shining through the classroom window.
 Noyes squints at the light, which is still a little far away in the evening.


''Even though we lured the Holy Tree Knights out by tricking the inhabitants of Doomsday Township........''


 It was a great success, especially when they were able to get Sogut Sigismos, the man they wanted most to get away from King's Landing, to go to the fort.
 Noyes had researched his past and set up a situation similar to the death of the woman he'd held close to his heart.
 As planned - some special thought must have come to his heart - the leader himself led the knights and left the royal capital.

 It takes about three days to get to the fort by horse.
 It should take six days to return.
 And today is the fifth day since the knights left the royal capital.
 This eliminates the worry that the Holy Tree Knights will interfere with the important stage.

''However, the girls in Doomsday Township are also quite fragile, aren't they?

 It is said that the existence of the Doomsday Empress itself is an illusion.
 However, there are many people in Doomsday Land who believe in such a vague existence.
 The infamous Roselbion-led Ten Deaths is one of the followers of the Doomsday Empress.

''People love you, right, Doomsday Empress?

 When I showed him a little bit of my power, that person from Hell believed that he was the Empress of the Apocalypse too.
 Well, with such a series of rare and ancient techniques, it was understandable that it would be seen as an unknown power beyond human understanding.

 And they were under the illusion that this was the power of the Doomsday Empress.

 It is not only a matter of time before you are able to get your hands dirty, it is also a matter of time before you are able to get your hands dirty.
 In addition, That Woman had told him many stories about the Empress of the Apocalypse in the past, and that knowledge helped to give him a sense of truth.
 So.

 Noyes pretended to be the Empress of the Apocalypse, and he was able to successfully move the inhabitants of the apocalypse - but...

"I thought I was finally ready to go on stage, but I didn't know that the Four Deadly Disasters were going to hit me...it was so unplanned. Crazy, crazy, crazy, the most important performance of our lives got thrown off schedule.

 Even Noyes didn't have the power to influence the Four Deadly Disasters to do as he wished.
 A long time ago, Noyes had once tried to contact the Four Deadly Disasters to ask them to play an "actor".
 But when he saw the man in the tube hat from a distance, he understood in an instant.

(Oh no, it's impossible. That's too much for me to handle! (Oh, scary!)

 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

 But this time, of all times, the Four Deadly Sins had struck just as he was about to set them off.
 It was truly an unpredictable and sudden human disaster.

And..........Currier is the one who defeated the Four Deadly Disasters. That's so wonderful after all............ I want to give you a hug! I want to hug you, Currier!

 As Noyes was drooling and cuddling himself, a bird broke in through the open classroom window.
 The bird flew in, and just like that, it ran out of steam at Noyes' feet.

'Mmmm, thank you.'

 There were three dead birds on the floor of the classroom, including the bird that had just taken its last breath.

 The messenger's messenger technique.
 It is a lost ancient technique of using animals.
 This technique was one that was taught to me by 'that man'.

''Guh...! Oh, tha........

 Pain shot through my brain.
 Next, blood dripped from my nose.

''It's good that you used the messenger technique as an 'eye', but three of them at the same time was indeed tough.......''

 Currier and his battle with the Four Deadly Plagues.
 Sagara Kurohiko and the Four Deadly Plagues.
 A battle between Hibigami and the Four Deadly Disasters.

 That man said that the usage technique is a highly dangerous technique due to the load.
 It was included to never use it for more than one target.
 But Noyes had the audacity to use three birds at once.

Because if you don't watch them, you won't be able to die even if you don't watch them.  Rokia, My Lady of the d*mned Currier! And f*ck you, you bastard! Amazing Four Wrongs! Oh, I saw some good stuff! I've been shown some very good stuff!

 Noyes spread his hands full with his nose bleeding.

'Hahaha! I can't! No, no, no, no, no! I can't stand it! I'll be there! I'm going to turn into noise! He wants to be the noise of this stage, with all his heart!

 With a look of happiness on his face, the noise spins on the spot as he spins around.

'Hey, all right! This has to be the only place! This is the place to end my story! Right here. I know, right? Tasogale!

 Noyes spun the words high and low in the silent classroom.
 But there was no one to respond to her words.
 With a click, the sound of still footsteps echoed in the room.

You're going to be the one who's going to be able to pull me out, right? And for that, I stole your precious, precious Rafaith and Farvety from you.

 Rokia's moves since infiltrating the academy were nothing short of brilliant.
 I don't know the species, but he's already got some idea of what it is.
 It's probably only a matter of time before he finds out who he is.
 Even now, he seems to be plotting something with the four deadly plagues.

 Noise pulled out a hair with a snap.

''Ouch, there it is! Yay! Ha-ha but I'm alive! If it hurts, it means you're alive! This is where I live! Yeah, that's why I want to die! Dramatically--I want to die!

 Huffing, I exhale and let my hair fly.

'But it's covered in crickets I hope I can dodge them.

 As for Hibigami, he said that even 'that man' didn't know the secret of his strength.
 He's so different from the six hospitals that he's eclipsed.

''I hate you, Hee-Bee-Ga-Mi. But it's a good thing that that 'Demon Eater' folded.

 Although it's not impossible to deal with it, it's still a pain in the ass to devote effort to counteracting that "demon eater".
 That's why I'm grateful to Beshgam Angren for breaking that sword.
 ...................
 I didn't expect Noyes to think that there was someone who could break that thing with their bare hands.

''Sore, nii.''

 It was only for nothing that the Four Deadly Disasters left the stage.
 For Noise, who mainly used magic elemental power, the Four Deadly Disasters, who had a 'constitution that extremely diluted the effects of their magic formulas,' could even be said to be a natural enemy.
 Whether or not they would be able to fight each other if they were unlucky enough to encounter them was a delicate matter.
 The fact that the four bad luck factors were removed was really good for the future of the show.

In addition, the actors in the show seem to be feeling good about themselves, so if we're going to go on the road, it's now or never.

 Noyes wiped the blood from his nose with his thumb and licked it up.

''Hmmm.......The only thing I can't read is Forbidden Spell-chan, I can't read it a bit. Even if there is a countermeasure, nevertheless... I don't like it.

 Noyes poked his hand on the floor and grabbed his own shoulder and began to cry.

 Yes - this is a feeling of jealousy.

 My favorite currier.
 No matter what she did, she didn't give herself the same smile that she would give Sagara Kurohiko.
 She never treated me like that.
 There was always a wall between herself and Currier.
 Only to Sagara Kurohiko.
 Only to Kurohiko.
 I can see that the area I occupy is getting smaller and smaller in her.
 Oh, it was taken away.
 The person I love has been taken away from me....
 I'm so frustrated.
 The flames of jealousy were burning in Noyes' chest.

(Oh... but how sweet...)

 A jealousy that has no place to go.
 An urge that makes you want to scratch your chest.
 But at the same time, however, this jealousy of the deprived party is what is dramatic, how sweet it is, and makes the brain of the noise debauchery.......

(Lovely.........lovely, Currier, Forbidden Spell.......how wonderful is this feeling of jealousy, like a hole in the chest....... Oh, I didn't know Currier was so open to anyone but me! Very frustrating! But--

 Hmph, Noyes smiles wryly and stands up.

'That's why you're so, so wonderful, Forbidden Girl.

 Noyes picked up one of the three birds from the carcasses of the three birds he was using as an errand boy and rubbed his cheek.

'Hey? Did you die a dramatic death? You could die, right? Because I could have died a messenger, right? Hmmm ... didn't you want to die? I'm sorry and I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I feel selfish about all of this, don't I? Yeah, I know... hahaha, so someone, the good and true brave! Kill me dramatically! Don't ever forgive me! --Let this evil be destroyed in a brilliant and dramatic fashion!

 After offering the prayer of Herv, the god of death, to the carcass of the bird that was gently lowered to the floor, Noyes stood up gallantly.

 Entering the academy.
 Meeting Sagara Kurohiko.
 Isolation after floating away from his surroundings.
 A feud and reconciliation with Cecily Arkwright.
 The melting ice walls.

 The battle at the Holy Ruins.
 A small, sweet and sour love story and a decision.

 And finally, she may have found her place in the world.

Mmm, those were all pretty good stories, Curie. As someone who loves Marie Curie Versteen to death, I'm treated to a series of goodies.

 Noyes folds his arms and frowns with an expression of mmmm.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any more of these things. I had to prepare a better final act than this one, didn't I? Which means--

 Nii," said Noyes with a reptilian smile.

''This is the only thing I can hope for with my life now, isn't it?

 Noyes clutches a long, slender vial from his pocket to his chest and begins to pray again.

It's okay. I'm going to make this play work, even if it costs me my life. No, this play is worth the risk of my life. There won't be a better show. That's right, this is what I've been preparing for, and I've been working hard for this day. I'm going to make it work.

 Noyes put away the vial and instead of drawing a magic formula, he begins to draw meaningless shapes in the hollow with the holy element at his fingertips.

It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these things. It makes me cry.

 Noyes flicked his tongue over the tips of his fingers, which were clad in the light of the holy element.

'You did a good job of pulling me out, didn't you, Rokia? Of course I won't go easy on you ... will I?

 Noise starts to walk towards the classroom door, humming.

'I'm going to play! Best villain of all!

 Then she stopped once and thrust her arms up to the ceiling.

'Well, now, then--'

 Snap.

 Noyes smiled wryly as he adjusted his fingers on a high note.



'The final act, shall we?
