I’m Perfectly Possessed

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

The Grand Saintess Silvia, who was called the Grand Saintess, was rejected from joining by the hero Leon. She could never have returned to the temple with her tail between her legs while everyone in the country was expecting her. It would have meant tarnishing the name of the Saintess, who was supposed to be the pillar of the nation, and her pride would not allow it. She secretly sneaked into the labyrinth that exists in the underground of the temple and fell into a long sleep there. However, over time, only her soul slipped out from her body, and she became a ghost wandering this country. Then, in a town by the lake, she happened to meet Leon, who had been reincarnated.

…Of course, she still does not know that fact.

“Ugh… If it had been such a sad way to die… I didn’t want to remember it…” (Silvia)

Sulking, she sat in the corner of the room and muttered to herself. The ghost, now called Silvia.

“This ghost… this person is the Grand Saintess Silvia-sama…?” (Shia)

“Is it a lie that she traveled with the hero?” (Marie)

“Is that kind of truth…?” (Mona)

The current Saintesses, who could now see her completely, were greatly confused by the situation. To them, the Grand Saintess Silvia was an admired figure. And at this moment, not only has she become a ghost, but the historical facts they had been taught as common knowledge turned out to be a blatant lie. It was no wonder they were shocked.

“…In short, it means everything is your fault, huh?” (Meltera)

Meltera gave Leon a sharp look, and Leon, thinking “Well, even if you say that…” was searching his past life memories.

(I think when I stopped by this country, there might have been someone like that… or maybe not…)

Unfortunately, he did not remember clearly.

“Anyhow, it would be better to keep this matter secret among us.” (Shia)

“Yes… I think that is best.” (Marie)

“I agree.” (Mona)

Whether they thought it would prevent confusion or out of consideration for a senior despite their disappointment, the three Saintesses unanimously decided to keep this matter hidden. They returned from the underground labyrinth to the surface.

“Are you sure it was alright to leave that one behind?” (Shia)

“There was no choice, right? She didn’t respond when I called her. Well, we could have forcibly purified her by taking advantage of that moment.” (Marie)

“…That would have been a cruel act, though.” (Mona)

Meltera, who had been so afraid of ghosts, now looked worried, perhaps because she knew their situations were similar.

“She doesn’t seem to be causing any harm for now…” (Meltera)

“…Let’s watch her for a while.” (Shia)

“I think that’s best.” (Marie)

Normally, ghosts were purified immediately, but this one was a senior. The three Saintesses, exhausted by many troubles, seemed to want to postpone dealing with this problem. That day, they decided to rest in the lodgings provided inside the temple. The Saintesses offered to provide a guest room, but Leon declined. These lodgings were used by temple staff and also rented to general pilgrims.

“…So, why are you here?” (Leon)

“Hey, don’t leave me behind! We fought together, you’re so cold!” (Silvia)

Suddenly, the ghost, who was supposed to have been left in the underground labyrinth, appeared in those lodgings.

“I did try to call out to you.” (Leon)

“I was a bit shocked too! But I’m fine now! See? I’ve gotten my energy back!” (Silvia)

She looked no more energetic than before but certainly appeared to have returned to the usual bright ghost (?) state.

“I’ve decided!” (Silvia)

“…Decided what?” (Leon)

“I will follow you!” (Silvia)

“Huh?” (Leon)

Leon let out a strange noise at the sudden declaration.

“Somehow, my soul is telling me this is what I should do!” (Silvia)

“H-Hmm…” (Leon)

Of course, she did not know that Leon was the Hero Leon. However, perhaps because she is a spirit, she intuitively sensed it and was trying to realize the desire she could not fulfill in life, now as a soul.

“Hehe, after all, the person right in front of you is that very person—mmph!” (Meltera)

“Hey, don’t say unnecessary things!” (Leon)

Leon quickly covered Meltera’s mouth.

“…Hmm? Somehow, your way of speaking sounds familiar?” (Silvia)

“Must be your imagination, Ghost-oneechan.” (Lion)

Leon quickly covered it up with a childlike innocent smile.

“But Onee-chan, your beautiful body is still intact. Maybe you could be revived?” (Meltera)

Moreover, the soul in front of them appeared almost completely unspoiled. With Leon’s resurrection magic, it might be possible to bring her back just as she was.

“That’s fine. I have no regrets about living. …Living is embarrassing anyway, and more than that, if I were here, I think it would trouble the people now.” (Silvia)

Certainly, if the Grand Saintess from a hundred years ago suddenly appeared, it would cause many complications.

“Besides, I’ve gotten used to this body. It’s surprisingly convenient. I don’t need to eat, nor worry about dirt. Passing through walls is fun too.” (Silvia)

“I-I see…” (Leon)

“So then, I look forward to working with you from now on!” (Silvia)

Leon seriously thought about how to escape.

“Ah, it’s useless trying to run away! I’m perfectly possessing you already!” (Silvia)

…It seemed impossible.
