We succeeded in isolating the Colors Collector, Viscount Hillson, in the metropolitan park, and the first stage of the strategy that Ursch-kun thought of was completed.

Viscount Hillson, who realized that he was guided to the park and trapped, tried to destroy the defensive wall by attacking it like crazy, but unlike the defensive wall stretched in the underground space without any preparation, this defensive wall had a little preparation before hand. It can’t be easily broken through. Moreover, this defensive wall was made by several people. Ursch-kun asked for help from the magician that was deploying the shield around himself and the adventurers while I was leading Viscount Hillson. It is strong.

There are many reasons to isolate him, but the first thing to do is to prevent damage to the surroundings. Next, is to prevent Viscount Hillson from being defeated by the knights and adventurers who don’t know the circumstances of Viscount Hillson moving to another body. Viscount Hillson himself wants to deliver the [Anti-Soul Necklace] to his wife as soon as possible, so it’s not the time to die and move to another body. So I thought he wouldn’t run away in that way. In the first place, if he died, the [Anti-Soul Necklace] that he finally got may be activated.

And finally, it’s time to find a way to defeat only the soul of Viscount Ryan Hillson.

I locked Viscount Hillson in and immediately got out of the defensive wall, so I squatted next to Ursch-kun, who was holding the defensive wall with his hands on the ground from outside, and checked the situation.

“Ursch-kun, do you think you can find a way to defeat the soul that has been transferred?”

“Hmm. The forbidden technique itself is not well known, so I think it will take some time to find out how to deal with it. I asked my mother to look into it too. . . I think a lot of business staff are probably being driven to collect information by now.”

Ursch-kun’s mother? I’ve actually never met her, but I’ve been indirectly indebted to her several times, so I asked to go and say hello, but I’ve been told that I won’t be able to see her until I’m over 10 years old. Why is there an age limit to meet?

“Ursch-kun’s mother and the staff of Schneiver & Co. will be able to investigate and help, but do you think there will be a defensive wall until then?”

“I wonder if it’s possible. I’m reinforcing to with magic items, so I don’t have to worry about the strength of the defensive wall, but we don’t have enough MP. . . Because the strength is high, the MP consumption is large. There is a limit to the amount of potions we can drink.”

That’s right, Alice-chan was able to drink 13 bottles with enthusiasm and energy. But according to what I heard later, it seems to be limited to 10 bottles because after that it usually causes heartburn, upset stomach, and it can’t be accepted mentally due to the bad taste, and it can’t be accepted physically due to the capacity of the stomach.

“If that’s the case, we have no choice but to shave Viscount Hillson’s MP and HP considerably and make it impossible for him to fight.”

Once again, we appraised Viscount Hillson and checked his remaining MP and HP.

{Human Race: Aaron Nick Hillson Ryan Hillson (33156)
Lv: 32+213
HP: 0/35 + 20030/45445
MP: 0/146 + 12790/19882}

. . . . . . It’s not shaved as much as I thought. I thought it had been cut off a lot while I brought him here, but it’s not as expected.

While I was lightly shocked, Ursch-kun muttered next to me, tilting his head.

“. . . . . . That’s strange.”

“Hmm? Ursch-kun, did you have any concerns?”

“Yes. Even though he doesn’t have skills such as MP consumption reduction, automatic recovery, or fast recovery, Viscount Hillson’s MP decreases and recovers quickly. . . It looks like he’s using a lot of other skills that he doesn’t have.”

It’s true that Viscount Hillson has normal skills in the appraisal results for his ability. It’s no big deal.

“Does he have skills that interfere with appraisal and detection?”

“I don’t think it can interfere with Isabella’s [Greed King]. . . Ah, I see!!”

While saying that, Ursch-kun raised his voice as he came up with something.

“What we can see is Aaron-san’s skills! But the one inside is Viscount Ryan. Viscount Ryan uses his own skills. Hey Isabella, can you appraise Viscount Ryan?”

When Ursch-kun pointed it out, I understood. I tried to appraise Viscount Ryan as I was told. But I just couldn’t appraise him.

Apparently, in order to check the skills, I have to have Viscount Ryan himself in sight.

“I’m sorry, Ursch-kun. I don’t think it’s possible. The only thing I can see is Aaron-san’s body, so I can’t confirm Viscount Ryan’s skills.”

“I see, it’s true that he’s not here, you can’t do an appraisal even though you can’t see it-”

Yes, before Ursch-kun finished, there was a crack in the defensive wall that Viscount Hillson kicked.

“Ah. . . that’s terrible. Hey Isabella, I have both hands blocked, so I wonder if Isabella will bring the MP recovery potion to my mouth.”

“Yes! Got it!!”

I took the potion out of the[Closet] and uncapped it, and took it to Ursch-kun’s mouth. When Ursch-kun put the potion bottle in his mouth, he tilted his head up and poured it into his throat all at once, and released his mouth from the potion bottle. I hurriedly caught the falling potion bottle. Ursch-kun the way you drink is exciting. Masculine. That’s nice.

Ursch-kun’s MP recovered, and the cracks in the defensive wall were repaired little by little. When I was looking at the wall and Ursch-kun, someone called me from a distance.

“Hey!! That girl over there! If you have other MP potions, give them to me too!! I’m at my limit of continuing to put up defensive walls!!”

When I looked toward the voice, a girl with light brown hair and twin tails was looking at me with a fantasy-packed witch-like cane on the defensive wall.

“Yes!! There is. I’ll bring it now!!”

When I rushed over with the potion, she released one hand from the cane and received it.

“Thank you (heart) Right now, all the members of our party went to the magician guild and the adventurer guild to communicate information, and I was in trouble because I didn’t have any potions. I’ll return it properly later (heart) Also, where did you buy that tiger-ear headband? It’s super cute. I want one too!!”

“This tiger ear. . . It’s a prototype that hasn’t been sold yet.”

Unexpectedly, she wanted to buy a tiger-ear headband, and when she found out that she couldn’t, she looked sad.

“Is that so! That’s too bad. I love cute things. If it’s commercialized, I’ll definitely buy it, so please ask the young master of the Schneiver Company there to commercialize it.”

She, who loves cute things, was dressed like a school girl based on white or a priest. The while knee-length jacket with the fitted collar was worn with the front open and a light green high neck on the inner shirt. The bottom was hot pants made of the same material as the knee-length white jacket. White short boots and a light brown belt finished the look.

“Um. Are you a priest?”

“Huh? No, no. I’m an adventurer. A magician and healer in the rear guard.”

She is one of the adventurers who was fighting the undead uproar in the Royal Capital until this morning. The party members reported to the guild about the characteristics of Viscount Hillson as informed by Ursch-kun and Schneiver & Co. It was said that they were working to gather information on countermeasures.

It seems that a lot of people are moving.

Continuous kidnappings around the Royal Capital, the undead fuss, and explosions caused by this morning’s widespread attack. Actually, we wanted to clean it up by our selves without involving the people around us, but it may have been too ambitious. It’s not that I don’t feel like I could do it better, but even so, I decided that this case was too much for us, and maybe we could have solved it earlier if we had a little more cooperation.

When I was feeling depressed, others called out to me.

“Ojousama. Are there no potions left? I’m going to run out of MP soon.”

“Me too! Hey, someone give me a potion.”

“I want an HP potion. I’ve been running around since last night and my physical strength is at it’s limit! I might go to sleep standing up!!”

I stopped thinking and ran around with potions in a hurry.

 

I feel like Isabella would be able to hold the defensive wall by herself. Her OP stats just seem normal to me now. Every time someone else can’t do something that she can I feel like they are weak. I have been corrupted.
