Tiya’s Smooth Regression Life

 

Chapter 51

 

Rodion was in the corridor?

 

Tiya exclaimed in surprise.

 

“Then we should quickly invite him into the room!”

 

It was Winter, who had been quiet all along, who stopped the excited Tiya.

 

【He’s the most dangerous one right now.】

 

Tiya didn’t immediately understand Winter’s words.

 

However, she did realize that everyone thought differently from her.

 

Not only Winter, but Valentina and Lev also didn’t seem worried about Rodion.

 

Then, Lev, who had been quiet all along, sat up and spoke.

 

“It seems like my brother’s spirit has gone berserk.”

 

* * *

 

Spirit rampage.

 

A problem experienced by some Spirit Mages, referring to cases where the Spirit Mage cannot control their spirit according to their will and has their mind taken over by the spirit.

 

Literally, the control of the body is handed over to the spirit.

 

Originally, most spirits’ cognitive abilities don’t exceed the level of beasts.

 

So to summarize the current situation in one word—

 

【It means a crazy spirit that has stolen its master’s body is roaming around the manor.】

 

It was a harsh but accurate expression.

 

Tiya asked Lev with an anxious expression.

 

When it came to problems with spirits, Tiya knew nothing.

 

“Then what should we do?”

 

The answer came from Valentina.

 

“What else, we have to run away. A berserk spirit is as dangerous as a violent beast. Especially to people who didn’t get along well with the Spirit Mage normally. In the end, we have no choice but to wait until the Spirit Mage’s mana is completely depleted.”

 

Running away from the berserk spirit.

 

The goal was set, but the method was the problem.

 

The children’s gazes, huddled together with their heads close, turned to the door again.

 

The only escape route was already blocked by the spirit.

 

Winter, who had poked his head out the door wondering if it might have disappeared, shook his head.

 

【It’s completely dark, I can’t see anything.】

 

It meant that the door was still being guarded by her brother’s spirit, Noir.

 

As Tiya stretched her neck out and looked around, a new escape route caught her eye.

 

It was the window. Tiya jumped up and shouted.

 

“We can go out through the window! I’ll use floating magic to lower each of you one by one, so let’s escape through the window.”

 

There’s no better method than this!

 

Tiya, with one experience of running away from home, even had a record of escaping the manor.

 

Excitedly, she quickly ran to the window, but…

 

“It’s pitch black…”

 

Outside the window was also completely black, just like what they had seen in the corridor.

 

Only empty darkness with no moon or stars visible.

 

“Escaping through the window failed too.”

 

Tiya sat down with a dejected face.

 

Then, Lev, who had been pondering with a serious expression, spoke up.

 

“Wait. Why do we have to run away?”

 

Everyone’s gaze turned to Lev.

 

“Let’s just wait here until my brother’s mana runs out. Even if we escape the manor, there are no adults to help us. Don’t you remember? They all went on vacation. No, even if there were any, those adults couldn’t help my brother.”

 

【I thought he only knew how to tremble, but he thinks more logically than expected. I agree with his opinion too.】

 

Except for when they encountered him in the corridor, it’s been quiet.

 

There wasn’t even an attempt to invade the room.

 

If they held out in the room like this, they could overcome the crisis.

 

Just as Tiya’s shoulders relaxed at the unexpectedly simple conclusion.

 

Knock knock knock.

 

The sound of knocking echoed in the quiet room.

 

All three children held their breath.

 

This time, even Tiya kept her mouth tightly shut to avoid making any careless sounds.

 

After a moment of silence passed like that.

 

Swoosh.

 

“D-did they leave?”

 

Bang bang bang bang!

 

As soon as Tiya spoke, someone pounded on the door as if to break it.

 

“Kyaaaah!”

 

Lev screamed in surprise.

 

The knocking grew more violent, and now the door rattled as if it would open at any moment.

 

【Tiya! The magic circle for Stellar Light magic, do you remember?】

 

At the urgent shout, Tiya first pulled out her wand.

 

But what was Stellar Light magic again?

 

She couldn’t remember well due to her surprise, but strangely, only the magic circle for that spell appeared clearly in her mind.

 

It was thanks to her constellation implanting the magical formula into its baptized follower.

 

Thanks to this, Tiya didn’t hesitate and drew in the air, channeling mana into the tip of her wand.

 

Golden mana left traces as it drew a complex constellation.

 

Stellar Light magic is quite a high-level spell that summons starlight.

 

Unlike flames, it’s a light that doesn’t go out in strong winds or cold.

 

“Lev, get Peach ready too! Peach should be able to stand against the shadow spirit!”

 

Valentina, who had finished preparing to grow thorn vines with Rose, shouted—

 

“What can this fluffy thing do, ugh!”

 

Lev, holding the bravely chirping Peach in both hands, replied not knowing what to do—

 

Bang bang bang bang bang!

 

The sound of pounding on the door became even more violent.

 

Just a little, just a little more…

 

It was the moment when Tiya, swinging her wand as if her arm would fall off, made the final dot with a poke.

 

“Done!”

 

Thud!

 

Simultaneously with Tiya’s exclamation, the door burst open.

 

Immediately after, without even a chance to escape, pitch-black darkness spread into the room like fog.

 

The darkness that spread as if to cover everything couldn’t swallow just one thing—the bright light that bloomed above Tiya.

 

Tiya, who had barely made it in time, looked around.

 

Even though it was clearly inside her room, everything was pitch black, making it impossible to distinguish the floor from the walls.

 

Only Tiya was protected by the starlight of Stellar Light magic, like a small island floating alone in a vast ocean.

 

“Lev? Valen?”

 

Tiya called out to the two in a frightened voice.

 

However, no answer came.

 

“Brother! Valentina!”

 

When Tiya called out to the two even louder, a response came.

 

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the voice of the person Tiya was looking for.

 

【It’s okay. You can’t see because it’s dark, but both of them are nearby.】

 

Tiya asked with relief.

 

“Are oppa and Valen okay?”

 

【Yeah. They’re just sleeping.】

 

Ah, come to think of it, oppa’s spirit Noir seemed to have that kind of ability.

 

Making people fall into deep sleep…

 

‘There seemed to be some other secret too. What was it?’

 

A very long time ago, oppa had told her about it.

 

【Don’t get distracted and stay alert. Those two are just sleeping, but it doesn’t look like you’ll get off that easily.】

 

“What do you mean by that?”

 

The moment she asked that.

 

Slither.

 

A chilling sound of something crawling through the darkness echoed.

 

Instinctively, all the hair on her body stood on end, and her spine went cold.

 

When she rolled her eyes to look around, a huge, pure white snake was circling around Tiya as if targeting its prey.

 

“Sn-snake! Such a big snake!”

 

Even Winter, who was usually indifferent to everything, pressed close to Tiya with a look of disgust.

 

【I can feel killing intent from that thing. It seems like you’re the target.】

 

“M-me? I didn’t do anything.”

 

She absolutely hated snakes!

 

Though Tiya could even take down bears, she was so afraid of snakes that she would run away at just the sound of slithering.

 

Tiya gripped her magic wand tightly and trembled.

 

Then, a faint sound came from nearby.

 

Scrape, drag. Scrape, drag.

 

The sound of something dragging its feet as it approached.

 

When Tiya infused a bit more mana into the starlight above her head, the light intensified and illuminated what was approaching her.

 

Hazy, unfocused eyes.

 

His pale blonde hair had turned pitch black, and something like ink was dripping from the ends of his hair.

 

Unlike his usual neat appearance, his shirt was improperly fastened and gaped open disgracefully at the front, revealing blue spirit marks like snake scales on the skin beneath.

 

Though his condition was strange, it was definitely—

 

“Oppa?”

 

It was Rodion.
