Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　More than the cuts to research funding next quarter, Mebius is now curious about the physical structure of the vengeful spirit that has been following her.

　"Klein, get the lab ready. This time, I've brought back a very interesting little white mouse."

　Knowing that Mebius would send the vengeful spirit to the experimental table, Moros gave her an extra vengeful spirit.

　Otherwise, he was really worried that Mebius would deliberately damage the [Venom Jar] just to obtain the vengeful spirit sealed inside.

　Moros knew very well that if Mebius could control her curiosity about vengeful spirits, she wouldn't be Mebius.

　With Klein's assistance, Möbius finally obtained a top-notch laboratory as he had wished.

　Then, this most outstanding biologist of the former civilization suffered a Waterloo.

　Although Mebius was fully prepared for this situation when the vengeful spirit cleverly evaded the Fire-Chasing Moth's surveillance and followed her into the First Research Institute.

　But when she actually observed that this undead creature didn't even have a basic cellular structure, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.

　Mebius reached out, trying to touch the vengeful spirit's body, but her fingers seemed to pass through nothingness, unable to touch any tangible existence.

　Currently, she has not yet undergone the fusion warrior surgery and is still an ordinary human being, so naturally she cannot touch those vengeful spirits with the characteristic of being "incorporeal".

　"Humans... are such ridiculously fragile creatures."

　With a sigh, Möbius did not...

　He was not discouraged and continued to advance the research project on vengeful spirits.

　For a researcher like Möbius, who yearned for evolution, vengeful spirits, especially those that obeyed her every command, were an irresistible temptation.

　Therefore, even though she was aware of the hidden intention behind this gift to win her over, Mebius could not resist this gift from Moros.

　While Moros and Mebius were busy with their own affairs, Alicia and Eden were also discussing topics related to the former.

　Eden

　Miss Pink Fairy energetically rushed into Eden's embrace, nuzzling against her best friend.

　"Ellie."

　Looking fondly at the pink-haired girl in his arms, Eden gently stroked the fairy's long hair.

　After playing around for a while, Alicia revealed her purpose.

　"My good Eden, are you really not going to come with me?"

　Looking up, Alicia gazed at Eden's golden eyes with a pitiful expression, hoping for a response.

　"But, Ellie, didn't we already discuss this issue before?"

　Eden responded softly to his dearest friend.

　Despite being somewhat swayed by Alicia's expectant gaze, Eden still tried hard to restrain himself from agreeing immediately.

　My Good Eden

　"There's really nothing I can do against you."

　With a sigh, a hint of doting and helplessness flashed in Eden's eyes.

　She knew that she ultimately couldn't resist Alicia's request.

　"Then it's settled, let's go together."

　Alicia jumped excitedly out of Eden's embrace, her face beaming with a bright smile.

　Eden felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at her smile.

　However, just as Eden was about to retrieve the [Wraith Jar] to tell Moros that she also wanted to accompany Alicia on a tour of his demiplane, the pink fairy girl cheerfully pulled her back.

　"Good Eden, what do you say? How about we give him a surprise?"

　Alicia blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Eden with anticipation.

　Eden was taken aback by Alicia's idea, but she quickly recovered and began to seriously consider its feasibility.

　"Surprised? That's certainly a good idea."

　Eden, finding Alicia's idea quite interesting, smiled and responded to the pink fairy's sudden thought.

　"Ellie, what do you think we should do to surprise him?"

　Alicia winked slyly, a mysterious smile spreading across her face.

　"I have a brilliant plan!"

　She whispered in Eden's ear, her tone playful.

　"But I need your help."

　Eden's curiosity was fully piqued, and she moved closer, wanting to hear Alicia's plan more clearly.

　Excitement and anticipation shone in their eyes, as if they could already see the look of surprise on Moros's face when he received the surprise.

Chapter 86 The Beginning of the Demiplane Journey

　The next day.

　After recording the newly acquired experimental data, Moros entered the living room that the Magic Guild had prepared for the guild master.

　He hadn't forgotten the agreement he'd made with Alicia a few days earlier to travel together through the demiplane.

　The Crown of Sar-Issus purchased from the Artifact Merchant?

　OK!

　A light, flowing, bluish-purple robe adorned with stars in the night sky, called the "Robe of Sar-Issus"?

　OK!

　The Ring of Sar-Issus looks like two golden dragons embracing a gemstone.

　OK!

　The staff of Sar-Issus, with a golden dragon carved from pure gold at the top?

　OK!

　Considering this was a date with Alicia, Morroth deliberately chose the more aesthetically pleasing [Sar-IssusRegalia] set instead of the [DeathsEmbrace] set, which was more suitable for the necromancer class.

　Unfortunately, while the Necromancer's exclusive "Death Embrace" set is impeccable in terms of performance, it simply doesn't look as good as the "Emblem of Sa'issus" set.

　After all, the appearance design of the Necropolis faction's equipment has always been controversial.

　Standing in front of the full-length mirror, looking at himself, who exuded an air of mystery thanks to the [Emblem of Sa Issus] set, Moros nodded in satisfaction.

　After tidying himself up, Moros opened the demiplane portal to Osaka City.

　Eden's luxury apartments in Osaka.

　Alicia sat gracefully on the sofa, wearing a light pink dress.

　Beside her, Eden, dressed in a black evening gown, looked like a queen of the night, noble and mysterious.

　The two men kept glancing at the apartment doorway, as if they were expecting some important person to arrive.

　Clearly, they were all very interested in and looking forward to the demiplane journey they were about to embark on with Moros.

　"My dear Eden, I guarantee he will be stunned by your beauty."

　Ellie threw herself into Eden's arms, happily nuzzling against him.

　"Aili~"

　Eden gently stroked Ellie's long pink hair with his fingers, his eyes filled with deep tenderness.

　Just as the two were immersed in the joyful atmosphere, the doorbell suddenly rang.

　The moment the doorbell rang, Alicia and Eden jumped up from the sofa almost simultaneously.

　"It's Moros!"

　Alicia's azure eyes sparkled with excitement as she turned to Eden, her voice brimming with undisguised exhilaration.

　She grabbed the camera from the coffee table, ready to capture every precious moment of this demiplane journey.

　Eden adjusted his dress, making sure every detail was perfect.

　She took a deep breath, her face breaking into the brightest smile, ready to welcome the partner who had helped her so much.

　As the door slowly opened, Moros appeared in a full set of the [Emblem of Sa Issus] outfit.

　His attire made him look like a mysterious magician from an ancient legend, instantly attracting the attention of Alicia and Eden.

　His magnificent blue and gold attire shimmered in the morning sun, making Moros even more charming after his three leaps in life level.

　"Click~"

　Alicia reacted quickly, pressing the camera shutter to capture the moment.

　Good morning, beautiful ladies.

　Moros greeted them with a smile and handed them a delicate meal packed from the Conrad Hotel.

　Thanks to a combination of magical and physical insulation, the food remained at the perfect temperature, emitting an irresistible aroma.

　"Moros, thank you so much."

　Eden gracefully accepted the meal and smiled as she thanked Moros.

　She gave a slight bow, gesturing for Morales to enter the apartment.

　Moros nodded his thanks, and then sat down on the sofa with the two ladies.

　The three of them sat in a small circle, enjoying a warm and peaceful moment.

　After enjoying the delicious meal brought by Moros, it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

　"Ellie, are you ready?"

　"Of course, there's always time reserved for you in my schedule."

　Standing up, Moros made a light sweeping motion in the air with his hand.

　As Moros moved, a slowly rotating, dark blue vortex materialized and appeared before the three of them.

　"Beautiful Miss Alicia, would I have the honor of inviting you to tour my demiplane?"

　Surprisingly, Alicia did not immediately accept Morros's invitation.

　Her eyes darted around, then she grabbed Eden's hand, which was clad in a long black lace glove, and gently placed it in Moros's hand.

　This action instantly created a subtle atmosphere in the apartment.

　"Eden?"

　Moros looked at Eden with some surprise, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

　He remembered that when he invited Alicia before, Eden had explicitly refused to travel to the demiplane with him.

　But now, Alicia's actions left him somewhat puzzled.

　Alicia winked mischievously, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

　"Moros, I know Eden's charm is irresistible, but when you're inviting girls over, you should still focus your attention on me more."

　"Ellie, could it be..."

　Moros was, after all, a spellcaster who could master third-level battle spells through self-study. After thinking for a moment, he understood what Alicia meant.

　"That's right, just like you thought~"

　Taking Eden's other hand, Alicia smiled and nodded.

　"Eden will go with us too."

　Moros looked at Eden and saw that she was also looking at him gently.

　“You know, our Ellie has a very persuasive way of doing things.”

　Eden's voice revealed his doting affection and trust for Alicia.

　Moros nodded in agreement.

　"That's true."

　After that, he said no more and led Alicia and Eden onto the passage to the demiplane.

　Given the relationship between Eden and Alicia, it's perfectly reasonable for them to change their minds at the last minute.
