The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Terrorist

This thought left Simo feeling uneasy, but now it seemed that even his former "talented woman" couldn't withstand the passage of time and the blooming of lilies.

For some reason, Mr. Seamus felt a faint melancholy in his heart, and he even thought of a poem by Oscar Wilde.

But before he could finish his emotional monologue, Louise spoke up: "No, let me finish. There's actually a loophole here. Being absorbed can only result in the body, without the soul. In other words, we can sacrifice your current body and leave your soul behind."

Simon stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Louise, do you want me to be in 'Ghost' with you?"

Simo said he really couldn't handle this kind of Platonic love; it was too modern. That damn movie had only been out of theaters for less than two years, right?

"Of course not, we're just giving you a new body. Look, everything's ready." Louise said excitedly, pointing to the side. Then Seamus saw the face that he found utterly repulsive.

The thought of punching that face he had just slapped, and the thought of having to go out in public with that face, made him gasp in horror.

A moment later, an exceptionally firm shout resounded through the skies above Tristine: "I refuse!"

54. I'm here......

“Well, I know it’s a bit hard to accept all of this, but think about it, it’s just a change of body, and you’ve used this body before. After the change, there are also six lovely girls to comfort you.” Louise, who was chosen by the crowd, said with a blushing face.

For the past few minutes, Louise had been trying to persuade Seamus with similar words. She felt like a prostitute, a madam at that, and she had never said anything like that before.

Louise thought she had already yielded to this extent, surely Seamus would have to agree by now. But a disdainful voice came: "Since you're so agreeable, why don't you change it yourself?"

What? What are you saying, you bastard? Do you expect me to switch bodies with you and then have a gay relationship with you?

Louise was so shocked that her face paled, and she blurted out, "Could it be that you really like men? You like Kisher?"

"What?"

"Mr. Talent, I never imagined you would become this kind of person!" Queen Henrietta erupted in fury.

"Making Louise switch bodies with Saito and be with me now is just too grotesque!" the naturally dark elf Tiffany added insult to injury.

“My name is Seamus now, thank you. And what nonsense are you all thinking! I said I wanted Louise to switch bodies! Look, she has two bodies now, why can’t she sacrifice one?” Seamus said, pointing to Louise’s white hair.

Louise and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. To be honest, they were a little disappointed to hear that Seamus's body-swapping meant this.

However, their silence became a new misunderstanding in Simo's eyes.

"So it really is better to have your own body after all?"

Mr. Seamus was genuinely angry at Louise and the others' double standards. Why should he have to abandon his past and live as someone else?

“No,” Louise denied. “My newly created body is simply not capable of bearing all my power. If my soul were to be transferred to this body, it would only last for an hour before collapsing. Therefore, to fill the void in causality, I cannot sacrifice my original body.”

"Then why not sacrifice this new body?"

. . . . . .

Another silence fell over the scene, an enigmatic silence. Simo felt he had grasped the crux of the matter, discovered the truth that Louise and the others were deliberately avoiding. However, before he could erupt in anger, Louise was the first to lash out.

"You bastard! Isn't it good enough that I serve you with two bodies? What else are you complaining about!" Louise roared and drew her wand. Since she couldn't persuade her, she was prepared to use force.

Seeing this, the others understood and took out their weapons. Henrietta, who was holding a golden rapier, even said, "Mr. Saito, please don't resist. Rather than resisting and being defeated by us and getting hurt, you might as well enjoy the process from the beginning."

Mr. Seamus burst into tears: "We haven't even fought yet! How can you be so sure I'll lose? And why do you insist on me changing bodies?"

To be honest, Simon is now starting to wonder if all of Louise's talk about causality and such was just an excuse she made to help the conman switch bodies.

As for Simon's question, Queen Henrietta smiled with a troubled expression: "My dear Mr. Talent, you must believe me, we truly love you. But the way you speak to us in your current body gives us the unsettling feeling that you're cheating on us sexually. So, could you please make a small sacrifice?"

Whatthef!

Simo took a half step back. "**How ​​could you even come up with an excuse like cheating? Why don't you ever try to put yourselves in my shoes!"

For Louise and the others, if being with their current selves is considered "cheating," then if they were to comply with their demands and switch bodies with their past selves, wouldn't that mean they would be mentally NTR'd by their past selves?

So the question comes back again: do Louise and Henrietta love their present selves or their past selves?

Simon actually has done a lot of research and paid close attention to philosophical questions that can drive people crazy, such as "Who am I?", "Who is me?", "Id", and "Ego".

This is absolutely not because Seamus would be in the second year of junior high school if he went to a Muggle school, absolutely not!

Mr. Seamus was simply exploring his origins as an underage magician, trying to escape the confusion he experienced during his adolescence.

Therefore, Mr. Seamus agrees with the idea that "other self is not self." In the eyes of Louise and others, isn't their "true self" being replaced by their "other self"?

Moreover, although all these girls were lovely, and although they all said they liked him, and although Seamus himself also had feelings for some girls in Tristine and even Hogwarts, Seamus knew that there was only one person he truly loved right now, and that was Louise!

But then a group of girls suddenly appeared and told her that they were her lovers from a past life and wanted to live happily with her again. How could she accept such a thing so easily?

It turns out that even Louise was his lover in a past life, and that so-called past life doesn't have much of an impact on him now. This makes Seamus wonder: "Do they like me? Or am I just someone's reincarnation? If I'm not someone's reincarnation, would Louise and the others still like me?"

That answer might be cruel, so cruel that it would infuriate Simo.

Am I just a substitute for someone?

Being given the name of someone's reincarnation, and living as a couple with people you like, people you know, and people you don't know.

Even if he were truly the reincarnation of the boy named "Hira Saito," Simo wouldn't want to live with girls he didn't know for no reason, because they loved "Hira Saito," not "Simo Finigan"!

If they see themselves as Hiraga Saito, then where am I?

Simo suddenly realized that no matter how enthusiastic the girls' gazes were, there was no place for him—"Simo"—in their hearts!

Therefore, Tabaça, Ilukuku, Henrietta, Tifania, and even Siesta, whom I was meeting for the second time, did not call me by my current name "Simo," but instead referred to me as "Talent."

Because in their eyes, the so-called Seamus was merely a vessel for a "talented person," just a state of being. But for Seamus himself, for the Seamus of today, he only wanted to do one thing: to loudly proclaim to them, "Here is Seamus, Seamus Finigan!"

P.S.: As of now, I've received two votes for taking a month off to play games, two for Class 3-E, two for The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, one for Aqua, one for No Game No Life, and one for Fate/Grand Order. As for those requests to grind excessively, I haven't seen them. Even if I did, I wouldn't be counting them~ Okay, that's all.

55. The Passion of Mr. Seamus

“Hey, Louise!” Seamus suddenly said in a very gentle voice.

Louise paused for a moment, then, as if she understood something, said happily, "What, darling? You've thought it through? You've agreed?"

Simo shook his head: "No, I just want to say something to you."

Hearing that Seamus was still defiant, Louise's expression turned cold again: "What else do you have to say? What's the point of saying anything now? You only have two choices: don't resist, and we'll give you a new body; resist, and we'll beat you up, then give you a new body. Choose!"

Louise raised her wand and gave Seamus an ultimatum: if Seamus dared to say no, she would immediately take action, stepping on his face and asking him if he was comfortable. If Seamus dared to give an answer other than "yes," she would beat him up again.

However, facing Louise's fierce gaze, Mr. Seamus remained calm and composed. He even struck what he considered his most handsome pose, gazing at Louise with deep affection, and said, "Miss Valier~"

"What, what are you doing?" Louise was a little embarrassed. She had encountered this situation before, but she always used an explosion to send those lewd men flying.

But Ximo is different. He's the person she's been waiting for to come back. If she knocks him away, where will she find him?

However, Louise's expression and Simon's demeanor were perceived as blatant flirting by the other girls.

Damn it, the first-mover advantage is indeed very important. Several girls present regretted why they had followed the original history. As a result, they now lacked the necessary interaction with Mr. Saito's reincarnation and could only watch Louise interact with them. They felt that there was always an inexplicable barrier between themselves and Saito.

Perhaps that's why they so desperately want Simo to become the Saito they know so well.

Just then, Seamus spoke again: "Louise Vallière, I like you."

Henrietta and the others cast envious and jealous glances at Louise, who blushed and said, "Hmph, don't think you can get away with saying that."

“Ah, of course I know that.” Seamus tightened his grip on his wand without showing any emotion, and then said again, “Louise, I like you, as Seamus.”

Lost in her own little joy, Louise didn't realize what was happening at first. She smiled as she watched Seamus raise his wand.

"Ok?"

Before Louise could even ask Simon what he wanted to do, Simon's voice reached her ears: "Eplosion!"

Louise cried out in alarm and quickly retreated, while the others used various methods to defend against the impending explosion. Tiffany used Wind God's Protection to shield herself and Siesta, Henrietta used the Sword of Light to protect Ilukuku, who hadn't had time to transform, and Tabaza used his Frost Armor to stand in front of Louise...

Everyone stood ready, prepared to withstand the incoming magical damage.

However, a bitter feeling lingered in the hearts of all the girls, because Simo had actually used an explosion spell on them, something that the former "Talented One" would never have done.

The huge explosion arrived as expected, but to the girls' surprise, there was no explosive impact as they had imagined. Neither the frost armor nor any other defensive spells suffered the slightest damage.

If we had to say what it blocked, it would only be a little bit of mud and sand.

Louise and the others quickly realized they had been tricked. It was true that Seamus had unleashed an explosion spell, and the sound effects were amazing and the spectacle was huge, but all this guy was thinking about was running away!

Seeing Mr. Seamus already flying diagonally into the air, Louise and the others wanted to grit their teeth and pretend to be very angry, but the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curl up.

Meanwhile, Mr. Simo, who was in mid-air, was not very happy. After developing this technique, Simo never thought he would use it on himself.

The explosion first stirred up mud and dust, obstructing Louise and the others' vision. Then, using the recoil from the explosion, it chose a suitable angle and launched itself into the air, increasing the distance between itself and Louise and the others.

Of course, beforehand, Seamus had secretly cast armor on himself for protection, and during flight or gliding, he also continuously cast levitation spells on himself, trying to make his body lighter and fly farther.

He even adjusted the shape of his armor's protective charm to make it more aerodynamic, although it looked exactly like he had a vulture's beak stuck in front of him.

Moreover, although Simo knew the term "aerodynamics," he actually had no idea what aerodynamics actually meant.

Simo simply felt that a pointed tip would encounter less air resistance during flight, just like Admiral Alardeon, who watched cartoons and thought that bombs could only blacken people's faces, so the power of a nuclear bomb was only in its pointed tip.

As he watched Louise and the others shrink beneath his feet, Simon couldn't help but sigh, "They're all people I love, and people who love me. How could I possibly bring myself to do it?"

But if they can't fight, what other choice do they have besides running away? Are they really going to stay and play the game of Faceless Man with Louise?

And that wasn't just a facelift, okay? It was practically a full-body makeover, and a complete transformation inside and out, so...

"Farewell, my love. Although you will always be number one in my heart, I think we both need some time to calm down," Ximo said sadly, turning back to look at the figures growing smaller and smaller.

"I think I'd be even happier if you could say 'my love' to my face!"

"what?"

Louise's voice suddenly came from in front of Seamus. Seamus trembled and turned his head in disbelief. He saw the white-haired Louise flying gracefully in front of him.

Seamus made a quick decision, instantly terminating the Levitation Charm and attempting to change his flight direction by falling, but Louise swiftly closed in on him.

The small, white hand passed through the armor's protective charm without any hindrance and pressed directly against Ximo's chest. The next moment, a triumphant voice rang out.

"Teleport!"

Simo crashed heavily to the ground, but before he could even struggle to get up, a sharp pain shot through his back, and his body pressed against the ground once more. Louise's voice rang in his ears again: "Alright, I've given you ten seconds to calm down. Now, give me an 'yes' answer."
