What should I do if the hero is resurrected in the Monster Girl Encyclopedia?

Chapter 57 Ghost Story Appreciation Session (Part 2)

It's quiet at night.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a secluded and dimly lit alley.

"Lord Mirad... I'm a little hot..."

Leaning against the stiff-bodied hero, Lilim's voice was muffled.

"..."

Mirad leaned back and bumped into something hard.

It was a wall. He had nowhere left to retreat.

Should we use rock-shaping magic to clear a path...?
Fine... I'll just have to put up with it for now. I'll endure this humiliation for the sake of the information Lilim revealed about Kieslfir.

Shrinking back to avoid contact with the girl in his arms, Mirad looked around.

It's a typical alleyway in Elcia. The path is paved with cobblestones, the walls are made of beautiful stone, and there are streetlights at the entrance.

“Since we’re going to conduct an on-site investigation, we’ll definitely need to do a thorough role-playing to recreate the scene from that night, Lord Mirad.”

Hiolitta looked up, smiling like a cunning white fox, and brushed aside her straight bangs to reveal her smooth forehead.

"Here, use the back of your hand to measure my temperature."

Snapped.

Mirad gently patted the back of his hand on Siolitta's forehead, a gesture that was not so gentle that made Lilim instinctively close her eyes.

"Not hot, not sick, congratulations."

"Be a little gentler, Lord Mirad!"

As soon as she opened her eyes, Hiolitta's voice fell silent.

She was trembling, just like Klinshead in the story.

Feeling the girl's petite body tremble, Mirad straightened up and looked into her eyes, which were filled with fear.

Sure enough, there were flickering blue flames.

As for its location, it should be directly behind you.

He turned around, and what came into view was...

The streetlamp standing at the alley entrance. The lamp, which should have emitted a gentle, milky-white light, was now dominated by a bright, bluish-green flame, illuminating its surroundings with that unusual color.

"Ta-da! The truth is out! It turns out the so-called will-o'-the-wisp was actually—"

For a natural actress like Siolitta, fear is something she can control effortlessly. She found herself standing under a streetlamp, clapping her hands, creating a solitary clapping sound.

"It's a streetlamp that turned into a demonic flame candlestick! Oh dear, it's really unexpected that Miss Klinshid was frightened by something like this that night..."

Mirad looked up into the lamproom. The magic contained within was no longer the relatively pure, unowned magic transported by the magic furnace, but rather the same kind of demonic magic emanating from Siolitta… demonic magic. The Demon Flame Candlesticks—those mass-produced demon tents in Siolitta were also equipped with them; he still couldn't forget the eerie pinkish-purple flames flickering from them.

In simple terms, the method of operation involves reacting the trace amounts of fire element contained within with the magic power of the monster to create a fire-like magical power that has the property of "illumination".

Because it is essentially magic and not real flame, you can't feel its heat when you touch it, and it won't ignite surrounding objects.

"I remember that after Kissfield connected to the magic furnace, she extracted all the magic stored within, leaving not a single drop,"

The truth was beginning to take shape. Mirad reached out and touched the uneven surface of the lamppost. A trickle of demonic magic was flowing into the lampbox along the rune circuit.

"You mentioned before that the underground magic furnace needs more than ten pairs of demon couples as stabilizers to maintain stability. And after the magic power inside the magic furnace was completely plundered... their magic power replaced the original magic power of the magic furnace, was transported through the loop, and sent into public facilities throughout the city, right?"

"You're right about 80-90% right~ Ah, as expected of the famous detective Hyolita's loyal assistant, Lord Mirad is quite skilled."

Siolitta crossed her arms and nodded in approval, "However... there's something you didn't anticipate, Lord Mirard. Speaking of which, you really value Miss Kieslfield, don't you...?"

"She has good talent, and she's both daring and imaginative. It's just that she's a bit reckless. With more experience, she'll definitely become a top-tier hero capable of standing on her own... Could the unknown connection be related to Kieslfield's current situation?"

"Exactly! Well, how should I put it... actually, the monster magic has always been present in the magic furnace. In the past, trace amounts of monster magic, along with normal magic, were also transported to various parts of Elcia City through the circuit. However, because the amount was small and used up quickly, it was used up without much of a monster magic contamination effect. Occasionally, one or two lamps would have an off color, but they would be quickly adjusted back... I think Lord Mirad understands what I'm saying, right?"

By unlocking the magic furnace's permissions, one can place their body into the circuit, thereby connecting to the magic furnace and injecting a massive amount of magic power, dozens or even hundreds of times the normal magic power capacity, into their body.

A vast amount of magic power.

Before Kissfield connected to the magic furnace, the monster's magic power already existed in the magic furnace.

Mirad's expression gradually darkened. "She absorbed the demon's magic power?"

"Is it a curse or a blessing...? Thanks to the nature of the monster's magic protector, Miss Kissfield didn't explode and scatter because she couldn't absorb too much magic in her body, nor did she perish because her magic was exhausted... Haha... Pretty amazing, right?"

As she spoke, Hiolitta grew increasingly guilty, put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and kicked at the pebbles that were firmly planted in the ground, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Tell me again, what happens to human women after they absorb the magic power of monsters."

It had been mentioned in previous lessons, and Milad remembered it very clearly.

"She'll...she'll turn into a monster. If monster magic flows into a human woman's body, it will slowly change her body and turn her into a monster girl. Rather, it's a miracle that Miss Kieslfield has managed to absorb so much monster magic in such a short time and hasn't turned into a monster yet."

He had just praised Kissfield for her extraordinary talent, saying she would become a top-tier human hero in a few years... What do you mean she's about to switch to monsters?
However, it is indeed both a curse and a blessing... Kiesl will not lose her life because of this, but she will be transformed into a monster in the near future.

“I’m usually very careful to control the magical power of monsters… especially at the monastery… If Lord Mirad woke up and saw the monastery full of monsters, he would definitely be furious… something like that…”

Not daring to meet Mirad's gaze, Siolitta whispered, "Once the process of demonization begins, even my mother couldn't stop it..."

...Milad understood the reason why Hiolitta was beating around the bush and dared not say it directly.

If what she said is true, then Kissfield's transformation into a monster is a foregone conclusion and an inevitable event in the future.

Recalling the girl's slightly silly, radiant smile, and their promise to change that country together in Rescue, Mirad felt as if he had returned to the battlefield covered in red stars, the scorching air baking his mind and lungs.

How should he tell the girl the truth?
As a hero, can she accept this fact?
He wouldn't be so foolish as to want to use his remaining body to burn Rescadeye to ashes... right?
