While Killing Slimes for 300 Years, I Became the MAX Level Unknowingly - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Ghost Transportation Plan

“Well then . Rosary? How about staying here?”

I said that very normally .
After all, disappearing is scary…so that is her only option .

“I-is it fine to stay? Really……?”
Rosary said that with an attitude that felt more ‘couldn’t believe it’ rather than happy .

“Of course, it would be a different matter if you were to make trouble, but if you’re only staying here, there’s no harm done . You being around won’t add any more expenses . If that’s the case, then why not?”
“Hmm, I guess there’s no harm . If you properly keep in mind that it’s a ghost, then that might be decided on . ”

It seems like Beelzebub has no particular objection .
“E-eh… . Gh-ghost-san will be in the w-workplace… . ”
Harukara openly shuddered . Seems like she hasn’t conquered her fear yet . As for me, the moment I saw the ghost’s appearance, my sense of fear faded quickly .

“Isn’t it fine? Rather, if a burglar breaks in, she might be able to drive them out . ”
“Th-that might be so but… . I can’t calm down since I don’t know whether or not it’s here . ”
“Then why don’t you have her stay materialized the entire time?”
“Isn’t that strange?! ALSO!! Any normal person would refuse to work because there’s a ghost around!”

Ah, now that you mention it, that’s right .
‘It’s a fun workplace with a ghost, please come work here’—-that’s impossible . This is a workshop, so if the ghost problem itself is not resolved, operations cannot be done . A fundamental solution cannot be reached just by having Harukara getting used to it .

“…As expected . It seems there’ll be trouble with me around… . Ghosts are a burden… . ”
Even Rosary is saving negative things . I want to say that’s not true, but it’s a fact that she’s a trouble as far as the workshop is concerned . We have to settle this problem .

“…That’s impossible… . I haven’t left from where the house stood since I committed suicide… . ”

Sharusha did say that ghosts bound to a specific place can’t move, right?

“There’s a way though . ”
Beelzebub said .
“I know right~? There’s no way for such a good method to- wait, there is?!”
“Yeah . The research on spirits have progressed with us demons . ” Beelzebub said while nodding .

“There’s no real troublesome method to it . You just need to transport those spirits that can’t move . ”
If you can’t move it, transport it . …I understand the theory, but the problem is how are we going to do that?
“Please teach me! Tell me exactly what I need to do?!”
Seems like Rosary is interested as well .

“Well if the spirit possesses a living human being who trusts it, then that human can just go somewhere else . Then, if you’ve found a suitable place, you just have to tear off the spirit . That spirit won’t be able to move from THAT spot then . In short, we use humans as transport . ”

“Hmm . I just have to possess~ . I don’t really want to possess though……”

“The action of possession itself can be done by anyone as long as they’re a ghost . However, it doesn’t mean they can posses just anybody . For example, it’s almost guaranteed that it’s impossible to possess Azusa . You’ll understand if you test it out . ”

Beelzebub’s eyes turned towards Rosary’s direction .

“Possession, I have never done it before though…… . ”

“It feels like diving into the other person’s head . Try it; even if you fail, you won’t disappear . ”

“I got it . I’m ready when you are so…come at me whenever… . ”
I closed my eyes, and prepared for it .
“Th-then, let’s go . ”

Pashun!
Somehow… . As I thought I heard some kind of strumming sound in my head, I saw Rosary breathing wildly in front of me .

“Wh-what’s…th-this…? I-I’m really…t-tired… . ”

“It’s almost impossible to possess a human with outstanding abilities . And with that, my explanation is done . Oh, even I, who has absolute confidence in my ability would find trying to possess someone like Azusa difficult . In short, it’s difficult to possess someone who isn’t weak-willed and physically drained . In other wordsー . ”

Beelzebub’s eyes turned towards Harukara’s direction .

“Umm… . why are you looking at me…?”




“If it’s you, I’m almost certain that you can be possessed . ”
“E-eh……!? Aren’t you saying something indirectly rude about me!?”
“It is not indirect . Since you are weak-willed, I think you will have a chance . So you can be possessed . ”
“Isn’t that mean in various ways?!”

Rosary slowly approached Harukara’s direction .
“I’m sorry, but I beg of you!”
“No! I’m not good with these paranormal phenomenon! Even if I wake up at night, I don’t go to the toilet!”
“Then I’ll possess you, and go to the toilet for you!”
“That’s a scary thought in itself!!”

While saying such a thing, Rosary plunged into Harukara’s head quite suddenly .
Rosary’s appearance disappeared in a flash .

…Is this a success?
“Oh! I can control her . Did this really go well?”
It was Harukara’s voice, but it had a completely different tone from usual .
It seems like Rosary has really entered .

“It’s a success! That’s good then!”
“…I can’t seem to calm down with a flesh and blood body in a long time… . Also, this body’s gigantic breasts are heavy… . ”
Harukara(?) heaved her own chest from below, lifting them up with her hands .

“Good, good . What’s left is for her to leave the workshop and everything will turn out good . ”
Yeah . Spirits can be transported . However, everything isn’t settled .
“…So, where you want to bring that child?”

I have not decided at all .

“………There’s only your house, right? You were the first to propose saving her, so take responsibility . ”
“I guess so… . It’s better than for her to become the lady under the weeping willow… . ” [1]
So-
“Rosary, how about living in my house?”
“I-is that okay? …Won’t I be a bother?”
“No . You’ll be welcomed there . ”
I held out my hand/
Rosary clumsily move Harukara’s hand and shook mine .

Footnote:

1 . Willow trees have been associated with the supernatural in the orient for quite a long time . Japan has quite a lot of lore with willow trees and ghosts, to the point that it’s said a ghost appears where a willow tree is at . As for the lady under the willow tree, this is something that lately stemmed out from the popular culture looking back at their roots .
No links this time: no sites so far talk about Yurei (ghosts) in a comprehensive matter, more so the more “modern versions . ”
