Chapter 96

About 20 adventurers, who had been knocked out by Ruisa and the others, were lined up by Ruisa and her companions.

Ruisa bent down to one of the adventurers and began to place her hands on either side of the adventurer's head. Kazaha, seeing this, became curious about what Ruisa was about to do and asked:

"Ruisa, we lined them up as you said, but what do you plan to do? Wouldn't it be better to enter the dungeon quickly before they wake up?"

"Hmm, that would be fine too, but I think it's better to be thorough and alter their memories so they forget about us."

"Ah, I see... What! Alter their memories!? Can you really do that!?"

Kazaha was surprised by Ruisa's words. It was a natural reaction, as she had never heard of such a spell.

"Is that some kind of mind control magic?"

"No, it's an electrical magic."

"Electrical? What does that have to do with memories?"

Kazaha asked, looking puzzled. Sharo and the others also listened to the conversation, looking curious.

"Well, this is something I learned from my master, but it seems that memories are related to electrical signals. So by sending electricity into a person's brain, you can manipulate their memories to some extent."

"Wow, I don't understand it, but that's amazing. Ruisa, you can do some pretty bad things, huh."

"Hehe, I wouldn't do that to my friends, so don't worry. Let's get started, shall we?"

With that, Ruisa inserted her fingers into the adventurer's head with a "Poke!" Kazaha winced and said, "Ouch, that must hurt."

"Okay... I need to set the power to the minimum and adjust the wavelength to the person..."

Ruisa recalled what the Demon King Testarossa had taught her and began to access the adventurer's brain. As the weak electrical current from Ruisa's fingertips began to reach the brain, the adventurer started to show signs of change.

"Ugh, ugh ugh ugh ugh"

The adventurer began to convulse and utter incomprehensible words. It didn't look like it was going well. Sharo, seeing this, asked anxiously:

"Hey Rui, is this really going to be okay?"

"Um, probably. This is my first time actually doing it on a person, so I'm not very confident..."

"Wow, that's scary. I've always thought you were a bit off, Rui..."

Ruisa laughed it off with a "Hehe" and focused on the task. However, no matter how she adjusted the power or the wavelength, it didn't work as she wanted. A bit flustered, Ruisa decided to increase the power.

"Let's see... How about this!"

She sent a strong electrical current, and smoke rose from the adventurer's head with a "Puff!" Ruisa hurriedly patted the head to remove the soot. The adventurer, shocked, woke up and said, "Hmm... Where am I...?"

"Hello."

Ruisa, still shocked by the sudden explosion, tried to remain calm as she greeted the adventurer. The adventurer, looking confused, began to observe Ruisa closely.

"Huh? You...?"

"Um, is there something...?"

"No, you just look familiar, but I can't quite place it..."

The adventurer observed Ruisa for a while, scratching his head, and then said:

"Maybe it's just my imagination. I thought I recognized your face."

Ruisa, relieved, quickly knocked the man out again with a lightning-fast chop.

Then, with a broad smile, she turned to her companions.

"This should work! I'll do the same to the others, so please wait a moment."

Seeing Ruisa's smile, Sharo and the others decided that they would never do anything to anger her.
