Chapter 128.1

Chapter 128.1. I’ve Been Entranced!

Miu’s thought was changed. Her thoughts are blank, her will is gone, and she can only stand still. Her petite, cute body is like a statue, motionless.

[Trickster’s Mask activated. But the entranced wasn’t broken!]

Big mistake. I wasn’t paying attention, and she took advantage of the opportunity. In the game, it was the same boss fight. The boss was the Thorn Princess, and once every three turns, [Brainwashing Thorns] would randomly fly from somewhere to my friends.

Gerer attacks remotely, and once the [Brainwashing Thorns] is received, it has a high probability of causing a mental abnormality, because it’s the boss’s special attack, it has an unusual effect that cannot be released unless the player recovers.

Therefore, it was an enemy that could kill you first. If you don’t have any countermeasure, you are usually dead when Gerer attacks the healer first. I had a hard time when I first saw it.

In reality, this is what happens. I couldn’t move or think at all. In the game, I looked at the screen and felt frustrated, but in reality, I floated backward and stared blankly at the screen.

…… Huh? Hey, I can’t think. My body doesn’t move. No, it’s a third-person point of view. Like a guardian spirit, it feels like I’m watching Mii-chan, who doesn’t even twitch.

I wonder if it’s because of my game specification, or if it’s a third-person point of view in the case of insanity. It’s true that even in the case of [Entranced], I could choose my actions on command. I’m stopping people, aren’t I?

[I’ve got it! I did it! What do you think of my [Brainwashing Thorns]? My special technique. No longer can this girl be restored to her original state by anything other than powerful spell-casting magic. She is mine!”]

[Trickster’s Mask activated. But the entranced wasn’t broken!]

“Mii-sama!”

“En-chan!”

“Hold on tight!”

The three are so sad that they look like they are about to cry as they battle with the Thorn Princess. They call out to me in desperation, but Miu doesn’t respond.

[It’s no use. It’s futile, futile, futile ah~. This thorn is specially made from [Evil Tree of Life]. Your words will never reach her!]

[Trickster’s Mask activated. But the entranced wasn’t broken!]

Gerer scoffs with a smile on his face. She’s no longer worried about her victory.

[Kuhahaha, I’ll make you guys into materials, so don’t worry. I’ll let you meet Mashiro too. Now, can you fight back when your friends attack you?”]

[Trickster’s Mask activated. But the entranced wasn’t broken!]

[Ah! Attack your friends, Takano Miu!]

[Takano Miu is enchanted!]

It’s Mii-chan, who shakes her body and is unable to move.

[Oh, huh? Attack! ……Oh, that’s funny.]

Gerer gives me an order, but she’s puzzled because Mii-chan is not moving. Sorry, Mii-chan’s entranced state means she can’t move because of her mesmerization. In the game the Night of Magic, [Entranced] only makes you unable to move because she’s in a mesmerization state.

“Damn, it’s my fault. ………. Then maybe [Caliburn’s Leather Bracelet] can heal you!”

[Caliburn Leather Bracelet] is also effective against mental abnormality. Ninny tries to remove the bracelet with a bitter expression. The consequences of removing it in this poison-filled space are clearer than fire, but she still tries to help Miu.

There was the same event scene in the game. Shin gets brainwashed, and Ninny takes off the bracelet and gives it to him. After that, she gets hit by a poisonous attack and collapses.

And then, I think, Gerer catches her and almost uses her as material. I think she comes back, but then there was a depressing turn of events, and she fell in love with Shin, right?

I’m sure it would be the same in real life. In the game, the depressing turn of events pissed me off, so I had to fast-forward through it with a series of button presses.

“Ninny-san, if you do that, you!”

Yamiyo tries to stop Ninny while nipping the Thorn Princess’ thorns with her sword, but Ninny sadly responds, shaking her head.

“She saved me, and Miu got into this mess. So!”

[Trickster’s mask is activated. Miu has recovered!]

Ah, recovered.

“Em-chan might be able to do something about it if she recovers.”

With a lost expression, Tamamo says as she dodges the petal blade of Princess Thorns.

“That’s right. I’ll remove it then!”

Ninny raises her eyebrows and tries to remove the bracelet with a hard, determined look on her face, her hands shaking. There’s something about that determination that makes me cry. All I can do is thank you. Thank you, Ninny.

“I’m fine! I’ve recovered!”

But I’ve recovered. I hold up a shticky hand and give her a word of restraint.

What? Ninny is stunned with her mouth open, but her face immediately turns red, and she yells at me.

“Why? She said something about you never being able to recover from it!”

“I’m a recovery magician, so I was always self-healing!”

“That’s insane! I’ve never heard of such a recovery magician!”

I know, I know. I think so too.

But I can heal. With the Trickster’s Mask.

The [Trickster’s Mask] which I can get by mastering [Trickter III], is a skill that cures mental abnormality at a 50% chance per turn.

That skill was an essential skill. There was a pattern in the last dungeon and other places where the mental abnormality nullifier would occasionally get overtaken by a “piercing” attack.

Therefore, a skill that automatically cured mental abnormality was necessary. There were a lot of monsters in Tokyo that had the skills to cause mind abnormalities.

If I’m lucky, I would recover in my turn. This time, though, I was unlucky. I’m sorry about the event where I can get [Caliburn Leather Bracelet]. But I’ll give up on it.

[Impossible!!! It took 3 years to make that thorn, right? Why!? Why!?]

“They don’t work on recovery magicians!”

[Kiiii! Princess Thorn! Defeat these guys quickly!]

Ignoring Gerer, who exclaims in frustration, she raises her bow and shouts to everyone.

“Let’s defeat Thorn Princess!”

“Understood!”

“Okay~”

“I don’t have a choice!”

I won’t show any more openings. At Miu’s words, Yamiyo and the others will fight improved, and the battle resumed.

“Guukiiyaa!”

Wielding thorny whips, it shoots petal blades. Thorn Princess, a spear bedrock from the roots, breathes poisonous breath from its mouth.

Yamiyo flicks the whip away with her sword, and Tamamo burns the petal blades with her Fox Fire. We evade the spears and recover quickly if our magic barriers occasionally get pierced. Its poisonous breath was [Poisonous Breath II]. Of course, Miu quickly healed it.

Yamiyo used [Consecutive Attack] to cut through Thorn Princess’ body, leaving a high-speed blade trajectory. Aiming at the gap in its stance, Tamamo strikes it with flames. Miu, while recovering diligently, inflicts modest damage with her bow.
