【The Witch of Budding Doom】Meria Story

Meria, the Genius of Derulla

“But y’know, it just felt like somethin’ was missin’.”
- Meria

Meria was the incubator of the " Philosopher’s Stone", an unknown organism bearing no resemblance to any previously discovered lifeform. It held all the world’s knowledge in its shell casing. However, it is later believed to be a demon’s seed that enhanced Meria’s intellect. Because of this, she was able to master most things. Despite being able to achieve knowledge this way, Meria thought that something was missing in her life and was dissatisfied with her current condition.

Until one day, she witnessed an experiment that failed and left a student on her knees in tears. She became curious about the feeling of failure.

Taking the Risk

“But its very impossibility is what makes it worth the risk.”
- Meria

She decided that she wanted to live and get rid of the demon seed inside her. She pretended to conduct an experiment to read the seed’s memories. When asked if she was truly ready for what she’d be doing, it made her speechless, and her legs began to shake in fear. She became friends with Serruria, and she helped Meria with the research. When they did the experiment, she felt something had burst inside her. She was already resigned to her fate, but Serruria, her junior, came to save her. She had found out the truth about the foundation of the world, but she decided to erase the last trace of it.

【The Witch of Budding Doom】Meria Personality

Based on Serruria’s voice lines, Meria is a gifted researcher, albeit rebellious and eccentric. Despite her rebellious nature, Meria genuinely cares for others and is willing to risk their safety to know the truth. Despite putting herself in danger, she can also think critically and find new creative solutions to complex problems.

【The Witch of Budding Doom】Meria Relationships

Serruria - Meria regards Serruria as her closest friend she feels at home with. Serruria is the one who helped her research plants and the one who saved her from being overtaken by the demonic seed.

Chapter 1
The teachers called it, "The Philosopher's Stone." What appeared at a glance to be nothing but an ordinary seed, was actually an organism bearing no resemblance to any previously discovered lifeform. It was said to hold all the knowledge of this world in its shell casing, just like a god. For the sake of reading it's "memories," the seed was implanted in me from the moment of my birth. I was created solely to become the seed's incubator. But, exactly because I grew alongside it, I know its true nature. This is a demon's seed. If we carelessly allow it to keep growing, one day, it'll... Well, whenever that happens I'll be dead as a doornail, so it's got nothin' to do with me.

"The Philosopher's Stone."

What appeared at a glance to be nothing but an ordinary seed,

bearing no resemblance to
any previously discovered lifeform.

the knowledge of this world
in its shell casing, just like a god.

For the sake of reading it's "memories,"
the seed was implanted in me
from the moment of my birth.
I was created solely to become
the seed's incubator.
But, exactly because I grew alongside it,
I know its true nature.
This is a demon's seed.
If we carelessly allow it to keep growing,
one day, it'll...

Well, whenever that happens
I'll be dead as a doornail,
so it's got nothin' to do with me.

Chapter 2
I've been gifted since the day I was born, but I'm not actually a genius or anything. It's just the influence of the seed. In exchange, my life expectancy is cut short. But, the entire point of my existence has always just been to read the memories in the seed, even if that ends my life. So, till the day I finally croak, my life is all about killin' time. Before that, so long as I'm still alive and kickin', who cares what I do? That's how I felt, anyway. My enhanced intellect meant I'd already mastered most things, and the teachers made sure I had everything I could ever dream of. There was no reason for me to feel at all dissatisfied with my life. But, y'know, it jus felt like somethin' was missin'. I didn't want for anythin', but there was nothin' fun in my life either... That's why at first, I didn't have the slightest interest in that experiment goin' on...

Chapter 3
The experiment was a failure, leaving a lone student on her knees in tears. The sight stole my breath away. I mean, I just didn't get her feelings in the slightest. Living without a purpose like I have, I've never seriously cried or rejoiced over anything before. Just how frustrated would you have to be to sob in a pile on the floor like that? Just how fun would that feel...? So, when I asked the girl in question exactly that, she laid on quite the bruisin'... But, thanks to that, it was like my eyes'd finally opened. A life without failure is just a life without challengin' yourself. Maybe if I started takin' somethin' seriously now, things'd get a little more fun... Hehe... Aw man... I always thought I'd be fine just dyin' whenever. Wanting to live now is like some sick joke...

Chapter 4
I was going to remove the seed from inside me. That's what I'd decided, but as its roots were already embedded inside me, removal was already impossible. But, it's very impossibility is what makes it worth the risk! The teachers were sure to oppose me if they knew, so I pretended I was gonna conduct an experiment to read the seed's memories. Even cuttin' into my sleep left me with barely any time, so I was forced to cut corners. Makin' concessions on my potential survival felt so frustratingly at odds with the whole point, it gave me a strange thrill. Finally, it was the day of the experiment, At the teacher's "I assume you're fully ready for this?" I couldn't answer. After all, if I failed, I'd die. I'd be dead, just like that. I knew that from the start, but only then did my legs begin to shake. Ahh... So dying was... always supposed to feel this scary, huh...?

Chapter 5
"Serruriaaa, save meee~!!" Throwing my arms around her in the lab, I felt myself calm down a little. Serruria's my serious-to-a-fault, hardworking, favorite underclassman. She flashes me a look of disgust, but I know she doesn't really hate me. Seeing her like that only cheers me up more, and I squeeze her even harder. When I think of this possibly, being our last day together, it makes me so sad that... I only want to remove the seed even more! I'd crafted new theories, implemented the tiniest of improvements to my equipment, and left my documents in plain sight all for this. But, despite my efforts, I still have no proof that any of this will work. I'm sure of one thing, though. If this works, I'll be the happiest I've ever been in my whole life! That's why...I no longer felt any fear holding me back. "Begin the experiment right away!" Upon seeing my return, the teacher smiled before activating the machine attached to me. After that, I felt something inside me burst.

Chapter 6
My head hurts so much it feels like it'll split. It's like all the knowledge held in the seed is spreading out before me like an infinite sea. If all that information pours into a small human mind... Well, of course it'd break you... I really did try my best... But, I guess it is impossible after all... This may be how it ends, but at least I got to have a bit of fun before I go. I don't regret a thing... Of course...that's not true... I hate this... I don't want to die... Please, save me...Serruria...! "Meria!" ...! Serruria... You really came to save me...? "As punishment, I'll have you sort 100,000 pollen spores out by hand, so you better get ready!" Whaaat...? That'd be a real pain... Shocked back to my senses, my consciousness lifts, floating above the sea of floating knowledge. Serruria never ceases to impress me... I can't waste the chance she's given me! The foundation of the world. Angels and demons. The blueprint for a new "tree" made of 22 branches... With this knowledge at your fingertips, you could even become a god... But, I'll destroy every last trace of it. Like water spiraling down a drain, the truths of this world began to disappear. When I finally opened my eyes, I did my best to put on my biggest smile for the girl crouching before me, who looked to be on the verge of tears. "At least make it...10,000..." 100,000's way too much...

100,000's way too much...

Chapter 7
The seed's still inside me, but it's only an empty husk now. Thanks to that, I was chased out of the Academy. But, not long after that, a guy with a staff approached us. Apparently when I unleashed the powers of the seed, the world outside got kinda crazy, so he came to help us out. Still, inside the girl that's with him, there's an almost exact replica of... Huh? What's wrong, Serruria? You're worried about me so you wanna come too? Awww, Serruria, you really are adorable when you can't be honest! You don't need to worry. I'll always stay by your side. 'Cause...I can only get serious when it comes to you, Serruria.

Login 1	How’s it hangin’, Teach! Today’s another perfect day for playin’ hooky, don’cha think?
Login 2	Ahhh! You finally made it! Since even you played hooky, Teach, Serruria was so mad, steam was comin’ outta her ears! You gotta apologize on the double! ...But, I’m glad you showed up. If you hadn’t, I was about to bear the wrath of Serruria’s rage all by my lonesome!
Home 1	Whoa, my B! Sorry for bein’ late! Man, I can’t believe another alarm clock of mine broke! What a kooky koinkidink, huh?
Home 2	The flowers here really are a sight for sore eyes, Teach. As a plant researcher myself, I can tell. These’re all raised with lots of love and care. That girl Natasha sure is sweet, huh?
Home 3	Hm, hm, hm~♪ Huh? I seem like I’m in a good mood? Hehe, it was that obvious? Well, I actually just finished talkin’ to some other researchers here. We talked about things like magic and the nature of existence, and were able to have a lotta good debates back an’ forth. Man, that was fun! Ooh, I gotta tell Serruria all about it later!
Home 4	Work can wait, so how’s about keepin’ me company for a while? C’mon Teach, don’t be a stranger—siddown! Bein’ beside me makes it easier to talk, don’cha think...? You still have work to do? Don’t sweat it! I thought you’d say that, so I went ahead and finished it all up earlier for ya!
Home 5	I was created to be like a sorta incubator for that seed. The only ones who really treat me like an actual person are Serruria...and you, Teach.
Home 6	Haaaappy birthday! To celebrate the miracle that is your birth, I prepared a super cool surprise for ya, Teach! Hehehe, I bet you’re dyin’ to see it, huh? Well, don’t get too excited just yet! ’Cause Serruria did her best to plan out a little somethin’ for you, too. I just know you’ll freak out when you see it, so just sit tight a lil’ longer, okay?
Home 7	Ah! Hey, Teach, you’ll never believe this! Serruria was actually serious about makin’ me sort out 100,000 pollen spores by hand! Ain’t that just the cruelest thing you ever heard?! I’ve been doin’ this since yesterday, but I’m still not even...half-way... Ah... Ah... ACHOO! Ah...! G...GAH! Now I gotta start all over again~!!
Home 8	Ughhhh~ Serruriaaa, this is too harddd! I can’t possibly do this on my own...! C’mon, be a pal and lend me a hand, will ya? Huh? You’ll really help?! You’re a lifesaver!! Then, I’ll be back once you’ve wrapped all this up for me!! ...Hey, thath hurth! My theekth can only threth tho muth~!
Home 9	Building an artificial lifeform all for the purpose of creating a being with unimaginable power... I’m certainly nothin’ to sneeze at, but that girl A.A.’s really somethin’ else. I guess mankind never changes, even in another world... Huh? That research facility’s already been shut down? Hehe, Teach, you really are naïve... Humanity always finds a way...for better or worse.
Home 10	Say what? There’re people out there who eat cactus?! You’re pullin’ my leg, right? They’re mostly water, so I don’t think cactus is very nutritious... But, you never know till you try, do ya? Hey, Serruria, c’mere for a sec!
Home 11	The seed implanted inside me is most likely a remnant of the Curse that once led to the destruction of my world! Either that, or an acolyte of a demon left it here on purpose...! I’m sure our teacher knows the details, but that lady just rubs me the wrong way.
Home 12	With you hangin’ around me this much, you must like me a lot , huh, Teach? C’mon, if that’s how you really feel, you should’a said so sooner! Huh? That is how you really feel...? Wh-When you’re so blunt about it, it’s pretty dang embarrassing, y’know... Ahaha~... W-Well anyway, let’s keep helpin’ each other from here on out too, ’kay?!
Awakening 1	The only thing I’m bad at is exercise... So, you can fill in the blank, right?
Awakening 2	I’m a researcher, y’know! We’re weak as lil’ ol’ flies! I already feel like I’m dyin’ out here!
Awakening 3	Wait, this power... Wouldn’t it be better if you used it in battle, Teach?
Awakening 4	I can’t do this anymore~! You’ll have to load me up with lotsa compliments before I try any harder!
Awakening 5	Ohhh~? Do you really mean that~? Doesn’t matter how true it is, if you compliment me that much, I’m gonna get all shy on ya~
Awakening 6	You’re a weird one, Teach, and that’s comin’ from me! Well, as a fellow weirdo, I guess that’s why we get along like two peas in a pod, huh? Oh c’mon, I’m just givin’ you a hard time. It may not look like it, but I’m pretty fond of ya, Teach. So, I’d be sunny as a sunflower if you kept hangin’ out with me like this from now on, too! Whaddaya say?
Victory	Phew! Glad that’s over! Savin’ the world’s no piece of cake, huh?
Defeat	UGHHHH! I’m exhausteeeed~ Can we take a break now~?
Skill 1	Gotta make myself useful sometimes!
Skill 2	I am a genius, y’know!
Skill 1 (Enraged)	Now, let’s begin the experiment!!
Skill 2 (Enraged)	Be an incubator till you die!
