There, dragging my apparently-unconscious young self by the neck, walks in a student with an eerie smile on his face, and glaring, bewitching red eyes—Alois Rockmann. With his fluttering, long golden hair, he licks his lips like a wolf eyeing a delicious meal. It truly makes him look like a savage beast.

I feel a shiver crawl up my spine. The two of us may have fought all the time, but I never thought I’d find him so repulsive. I can tell at a glance—what I’m looking at is both Rockmann and something else entirely.

The creepy thing in his guise approaches, dragging my little self. With every step, the chill I feel grows stronger, giving me goose bumps.

“That should be the same thing that was possessing Treyse,” theorizes the prince, gazing at the possessed Rockmann with the aid of Necromancy.

“Why is it on Rockmann now?” I ask.

“I don’t know. Perhaps... But wait, is such a thing even possible...?”

What’s got him hesitating like that? I can’t begin to imagine.

The voice we heard a moment ago was nothing like the one we heard from the possessed Treyse. It wasn’t Rockmann’s own voice either. It was completely different, something...wicked.

There’s a sinister magical power surrounding Rockmann. We magicians know of only one creature with just that sort of power. I’m sure Prince Zenon had the same thought as me.

“Who in the world are you?” I ask, holding down my shivering arm.

I must look pathetic right now, shivering like this... At least the real Rockmann isn’t here. He would no doubt make fun of me, saying I look like a newborn bunny-bird or something. Recalling the countless times Rockmann laughed at me with that “I’m so clever” mug of his, I face our unsettling visitor once more.

This thing in human skin can’t possibly be Rockmann or Treyse. As we stare “Rockmann” down, he laughs, a devilish look on his face.

How did it manage to possess him? He may be young, but he’s wary of dangers. It’s hard to believe it would work on him so easily.

A lot of other things don’t make sense either. It’s highly likely it wasn’t the real Treyse who made contact with the Time Keeper—but if so, why did that person claim to be Treyse and have the gnome send them to this time in the past?

“If I said I’m a part of Städal, would that answer your question?” he says with a grin.

Absent-minded thoughts like “Where have I heard that name before...?” don’t cross my mind even for an instant. We all unconsciously take a step back.

“Why would that name come up here, of all places...?” utters Nikeh, hand over her mouth.

“I’m sure you remember a certain black demon you hate so much, mwah ha ha!”

The possessed Rockmann roars with laughter, seeming to find something genuinely funny. As his blond hair shakes around, he twists the corners of his mouth, holding his stomach and laughing. How repugnant. I can’t tolerate someone being made to laugh in such a grotesque way against their will, whether it’s Rockmann or not.
