65-5-Contraindication room




Nito, are you... are you... are you a hero, Nito?
What?

 As usual, I just shrugged off the class and told him to meet me in the library, and waited for Patrick to come in, fishing through the books I couldn't read.
 Suddenly, the door to the room opens and Patrick appears and says this with a restless face.

 I can say that it started with the headmaster getting mad at me.
 Weeks have passed since then and we've been hanging out a lot.
 I don't know if we felt like accomplices or not, but for no particular reason, we would leave class to play in the exercise yard or the library.

"So I'm asking if you're a hero,
''Oh, come to think of it, I've been called that before.
It's not an accident. Look at this.

 Patrick showed me a magazine.
 It was called Demonic Communications and was apparently the newspaper of this world, as well as a weekly magazine.

'Look, here it is!'

 It was said that the demonic communication had a special spell on it so that anyone, regardless of race, could read it.

''What... "What... "What is the true meaning of the Razhuisen Raid, the Empire's true intentions? What is this?
Not there. Here.
'Well the adventurer Yogi speaks of this. We would be finished without Nito. Thank you, my eternal friend.' No, he's not even my friend.
"Heroic Nito is a healer, apparently.
Well, there's nothing to hide... about me, you know?
That's why they hide things.
Why?

 Patrick told me.
 That the world is now in an uproar for the whereabouts of Nito the Adventurer who saved Razhuisen.
 To prove it, he used about five lines at the end of the article to say in a big way, 'Information on adventurer Nito sought! There was a sentence inscribed on it that reads, 'For more information, please contact the demonic communication.

 It seems that this world relies on magical communication for information, and if that doesn't work, I'll have to find it myself.
 That's why each country seems to be dispatching soldiers to search for me with all their might.

"Yikes~
We don't have time for this. Maybe the demonic communicator has already gotten a hold of Nito's information.
Why?
'It's because Nito took his name, and the students at this school at least know that Nito is in Hail Kuwait.
Oh, sure. You've been called up on the air a few times.
That too. Anyway, it's about time for the demonic correspondent to show up.
What a pain in the ass.
So it's a trick question of deception.
The deception?
'They cover their faces with masks and stuff. Fortunately, Nito's face isn't on the website yet. There's a small desert town next door, Qatar, where they sell masks. I think they have a stall there that sells masks. Let's go there soon.
That's kind of cheap. Is that how you can hide it?
The rest is up to Nito. Do you have some kind of magic to disguise your appearance?
No.

 Now I regretted not choosing the skill 《Mimicry》 in the dungeon.

''It can't be helped then.''
Anyway, are you going to be able to make it tonight?
Yeah, no problem. I mean, you're only here tonight. It's a good thing the principal isn't here on a business trip.
What an opportunity.
Yeah, that's why we're doing it tonight.

 I told Patrick the story of the future.
 After much discussion, I've come up with an answer since then to this day.
 It was a revival spell.

 I'm sure that this is what I'll be talking about in the future.

"Basically, there are no books on death in the public domain. If there is such a thing in this school, I think the only place to find it is in the Forbidden Room.

 We're supposed to break into the Forbidden Room tonight.

The problem is the wards. But I have this one.

 With that, Patrick pulled a single brown wand from his pocket.

'What's that?'
'Yoder's wand. It can undo the wards in the Forbidden Room.
'Huh, I mean, why do you have that thing?'
That's because I was trying to get in.
Why?
You know what I want, too?
I see.
'But I couldn't get in beyond that. Because there are countless sensing wards in the room.
Wait a minute. Isn't that something I could go for?
It'll work. If it's Nito, whose magic is undetectable, it should be fine.
Patrick, you don't think that's why they sent me--
It just so happens. It just so happens that Nito wants to come in, so that's good for me too...
Really? Well, I don't mind.
If they find out, they'll be expelled for sure. You better be prepared for that.
Huh, you're a good sport. I'm ready for this. If you think that's where you're going to find the key to save the Toa, I won't hesitate. I'll step in for you. So what did you want, Patrick?
...the book is about the fire spirit.
All right. Then I'll go get it.
It's not easy.
Why is it so easy?
Nito can't read.
'Oh....'
d*mn it, take that.

 With that, Patrick handed over two sheets of paper.

'This one has a list of words about resuscitation written down, and this one is the fire spirit. Bring as much as you can carry that matches even the slightest bit.
Okay, that sounds easy.
You know...
I'll be fine. I'll just go in and get it. Besides, I have cross-space storage. I'm good at holding as much as I can.
Huh but that doesn't mean I can't get on with it, we have a school game coming up.
A school game?
You didn't hear me, he told you.

 I had no idea, but I heard that it was a joint game played every year by the three schools.

''This year Grayberg isn't here, then the only opponent is Ficianatica. That's why it's easy to narrow down your opponents. For me, it's an opportunity. That's why I want to make it through to the finals and be selected for the three representatives.
You're looking for the power to do that.
Yeah.

 Could it be that Patrick was guilty of being guilty?
 I was a little excited.

I was.

 I see two small flashes from behind a pillar - Patrick's signal.
 Quickly, I joined Patrick at the door.

 Me and Patrick have each slipped out of the room in the middle of the night.
 Right now, we are about to break into the forbidden room.

 This room opens onto a small courtyard.
 Apparently, this is the Forbidden Room.

I'm going to be the one to guard the outside while I'm inside. But don't disengage your magic detection at all times, but keep your eyes on the area. The fact that we can sense the waves means that we can also sense the opponent.

 There was a problem.
 There were passages leading to either side of the door.
 It would be nice to get in, but there was nowhere to hide.
 Even a patrolling guard would be able to get through and find us in one shot.

'Well, if they do find us, it's probably because of Patrick's magic.

 No one is allowed in or out at night, and you're out just to be found.

'The time is just right, there's no patrol for an hour from now.
You know your stuff.
'I've been checking, for this day. Probably Nito can detect a wider area than I can. If you feel a ripple, run away with me as soon as you can.

 Patrick was shown the unique skill 《God Speed》 once.

 During the explanation, Patrick was persistently vigilant on both sides.
 But he was taught beforehand that visibility is a necessity.

 It seems that there are a small number of monsters in the world that don't have magical powers, and even monsters that are easy to get along with people.
 It is said that there are cases where they are used for security purposes.
 Patrick said he had never seen them at school, but he said he was thinking about them just in case.

'Look, I'll use this wand to sabotage the wards first.

 Patrick readied his yodeling wand.

'So?'
Then use your telekinetic skills to open the door, just in case. It is best not to touch it directly, as far as possible. Once inside, look for the books on the shelves. When you find it, search for the book according to the note I gave you. The rest--
Don't touch anything if you have to, okay?
'Yes. The worst thing you can do is leave a trail. The next time they find out we're unaware of their presence and ambush us, we're screwed. It's not a one-day deal, so let's just be patient.
Okay.

 Patrick waved his left hand wand lightly at the door.

'Okay, now--'

 I activate my telekinetic powers and open the door.

Be vigilant.
You too.

 I stepped into the room.
