Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 67 The Man in the Dying World
 

"No! Her brother is still alive!"
Abigail couldn't believe it. She was now using the body of Antoinette's brother Louis. Although it was indeed abnormal that Louis chose to live in a rental house instead of her own home, Antoinette only cleared her memory regularly and did not completely lose her memory. She personally admitted that this body belonged to her brother Louis.
"Um... have you visited Senior at the nursing home?"

"Why do you ask?"
"If you learned this from Senior Antoinette, there might be misunderstanding."
Susan lamented Antoinette's tragic fate.

"A year ago, a crazy vampire appeared in Walsrode, causing many casualties. Vampires are nocturnal creatures that feed on blood. They have high intelligence and can coexist with other races, but occasionally there are vampires who go crazy due to the urge to suck blood and cause harm indiscriminately."
The crazy vampire that appeared in Walsrode came from the outside world. He was originally an ancient vampire who was said to have fallen into madness under the influence of the devil.
"Vampires are proficient in magic, and ordinary people have difficulty fighting against them. There are many girls in the St. Barbara Girls' Academy, so the vampire moved here for hunting. Grand Duke Walsrode blocked the news to avoid causing panic, and summoned magicians to fight against the vampires."

"You mean... Antoinette has been summoned?"
"Well, Miss Antoinette is very young, but she is a talented magician. The opponent is an extremely powerful vampire. At least in order to hold the vampire back before the church's support arrives, we must gather all the magicians that can be mobilized. Antoinette's brother secretly followed her, and in the battle with the vampire, he blocked a fatal blow for Senior Antoinette."
“How could it be…”

"In the end, Senior Antoinette and the expedition team successfully defeated the vampire, but Senior's brother was seriously injured and died. Since then, Senior has suffered from a very rare amnesia, and she will lose her recent memory. Senior's memory has been stuck in a year ago, when her brother was still alive and she had not yet enrolled as a student at Santa Barbara Girls' Academy. So every time I went to the nursing home to visit Senior, she treated me as a stranger she had never seen before."
Susan was deeply saddened, but Abigail was shocked.
Louis is dead.

So what about Louis who is with us?
Abigail was full of doubts, but she could not get more information by asking Susan. Since Antoinette had not yet entered school when her memory was reset, Susan had to get to know her again even if she went to the nursing home to visit her. Over time, Susan felt that every visit to the nursing home would only increase her sadness, so she chose to concentrate on cleaning Antoinette's empty house.
Susan firmly believes that Antoinette will recover sooner or later. She seems unaware that Antoinette's amnesia was caused by the curse, and thinks that Antoinette was stimulated after losing her last relative.

In addition, Susan had never met Louis, after all, St. Barbara's School was a girls' school. Antoinette's family did not have a photo of them together, and in Susan's opinion, Louis' body, which Abigail used, was a complete stranger.
By evening, Abigail had basically finished her work and Susan's sprained foot had basically recovered.
Abigail said goodbye and returned to her residence, and Angelica also brought good news.
"The reconstruction of the magic ritual has been successfully completed. Your bodies can be restored tomorrow."

"oh……"
"Are you unhappy? Didn't Abigail keep asking me when I could change back these past two days? Or have you gotten used to a boy's body and want to experience the pleasure that only boys can have?"
"Boys' happiness...?"

Angelica whispered softly into Abigail's ear.
Abigail blushed instantly.
"Really? Sister Angelica always thinks about this kind of thing!"

"I'm quite curious whether Abigail, a girl, would have a normal reaction when using a man's body... How about we experiment now?"
"don't want!"
Abigail hurriedly distanced herself from Angelica. She knew the answer to this question best. When she was still a girl, she had the absurd idea of collecting things used by Angelica. After Abigail occupied Louis' body, she never dared to get too close to Angelica, because the sweet scent exuded by Angelica gave Abigail a strange feeling.

"Speaking of which! I heard some stories outside today."
Abigail deliberately took Angelica away from Louis. Louis was still checking the procedures of the magic ritual. He attached great importance to this glimmer of hope that could allow Antoinette to return to normal.
Abigail told Angelica all the story she heard about Louis.

"…That's right. Some say Louis died in an accident a year ago before Miss Antoinette was cursed."
"Fighting vampires? So this is the cause of Louis' death."
"Huh? Sister Angelica already knew about this?"

Angelica was not at all surprised to learn of Louis' death.
"Don't forget that I'm a genius and beautiful magician. Nothing can be hidden from me."
"Sister Angelica, what's going on?"

Abigail was completely confused, but Angelica pieced together the complete context through the information provided by Abigail.
"First, Antoinette was chosen by the inherent magic to become the contemporary "art" hero, because she is the one with the best magic talent among the descendants of the "art" hero. A year ago, vampires invaded this territory, and Antoinette's only relative Louis also died in that battle. Abigail, do you still remember the iron rule of the dead?"
"Remember. No matter how powerful a magician is, he cannot resurrect the dead."

Angelica was extremely confident in her own magical talent, but even as a witch, she wisely chose to give up after studying the inherent magic of resurrecting the dead. An impossible thing is impossible no matter how many times you try.
"Antoinette undoubtedly knew that magic could not revive the dead. When she lost her brother Louis, the curse of Hades fell upon her. However, the curse of Hades gave Antoinette inspiration. The human body is not a machine. Clearing the memory on time at midnight every day is definitely not something that the human body ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) can achieve naturally. This is human interference."
"Isn't it the influence of the curse?"

"The anterograde amnesia is the effect of the curse, but the fact that new memories are cleared on time at zero o'clock makes it impossible to store memories for a long time is the inherent magic that Antoinette cast on herself. She trapped herself in the past."
"But why did Miss Antoinette do this? She..."
Abigail suddenly thought of a possibility, and Angelica nodded with a teachable expression.

"To deceive. To deceive myself and the world - Louis is still alive."
