230 – 1st New Generation-1
The situation itself was being reorganized as a whole.
The number of people in the temple was quickly thinned out and priests were placed in the right places, and the resulting efficiency showed rapid growth.
The temple was able to turn the chaos that followed the Berserker incident into a boom, to the point where some ungrateful compliments were asked as to why it was only now arranged like this.
Kaang!!
Chris’ body recovered quickly and she began her rehabilitation training. Even if the compatibility rate is high using standard dragon serum, it takes at least 3 months to move the whole body.
However, Chris was able to move his entire body in just one week.
It is not simply about overdoing it through effort or perseverance, but based on the therapeutic opinion, Chris has improved to a state that requires rehabilitation.
“…This is a truly vile and fraudulent lineage.”
Even a single drop of Reinhardt’s blood turns her hair white and gray.
The purity of mana is comparable to that of a 1st circle wizard, and the basic strength of the body is comparable to that of a trained knight.
Once again, I felt like a fool for trying to get even one win from the undistinguished genius of such a family.
“…Actually, I have more respect for Raynald… He would have headed to the battlefield in a worse environment than me and without proper treatment…”
Chris smiled bitterly as he looked at Yonginhwa’s arm, which was tightly wrapped in bandages.
I was prepared to give up one of my arms, but in reality, my entire arm was experiencing burn-like pain every hour, so it wasn’t really easy to even have one.
He was able to reduce his pain with tranquilizers and the wise man’s legacy, but Leonardo, who fought in an even harsher environment, would not have had the opportunity to do so.
The treatment method he received was the product of the first round of experiments and research with Leonardo’s body.

“It’s okay to know. Do you think you’ll be in less pain just because I’m going to be in more pain anyway? However…”
Leonardo couldn’t tell with just his glances, so he openly pointed to Chris’s ‘trinkets’ with his finger.
Although its original purpose was medical equipment, it had no meaning to Chris at the moment, so it was only used as an accessory.
“Why are you so wrapped in bandages?”
Chris’s right arm was wrapped thickly in white bandages. He covered his arm with a cloth bandage, not a holy grape.
In the first place, because the Sage’s Legacy had an excellent detoxifying ability, there was no need to even use bandages soaked in holy sea grapes or holy water.
“…This… So… To give stability to the arm…”
“Then why was his other arm bare? “If I just wrap my legs and neck, I’ll find complete stability, right?”
Chris hid his right arm behind his back as if he was embarrassed by the harsh opinion. As the saying goes, the reason Chris wore bandages was not for stability or anything like that.
“It looks a bit ugly, doesn’t it? Scales and fingernails also sprouted…”
“Then all you have to do is ask Eileen or Rios to cast a transformation spell on your arm.”
Eileen and Rios are so close that you can’t tell, but they are both archmages whose skills rival those of the magic tower lords.
Even if it is tolerated, one arm can be transformed back to its original appearance for over a month.
Moreover, in this era, magic tools for mimicry would also be well made.
“…That’s true… But…”
Chris held the bandage as if he was really embarrassed.
In fact, when Leonardo first showed Yonghwa, the image of him taking risks and unraveling the Seonghaepo to save the girl kept flashing in my eyes.
I also wanted to control the power of a dragon someday while reciting such cool words.
“That’s enough. I was just asking. “If anyone saw you, they would think you were wearing a bomb or something.”
In the first place, unless it was a topic of local exposure or eye terror, Leonardo did not particularly want to discuss fashion.
Of course, no matter how much time passes or how old you get.
It was difficult to say that Chris’ astral sense was okay.
“I won’t be using that arm right now anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”
“…That’s definitely true.”
During his current rehabilitation training, Chris has never used his right arm.
Thanks to Yonghwa’s blood spreading throughout his body, he was able to make up for his handicap with his increased physical ability, but even so, not being able to use his right arm was an inconvenience in his daily life.
Furthermore, if you are wearing heavy weights on your forearm and both arms, the fatigue and discomfort will increase.
“For that matter, you have no questions or complaints?”
Despite such limitations, Chris Reinhardt followed the training level of rehabilitation without a single word. Even if it was just him, he would have asked at least once.
“Because I know for sure that you are not the kind of person who would do something like this for no reason.”
It was no exaggeration to say that Chris’s level of trust in Leonardo was more than that of his biological parents, Marken.
It may seem funny from the outside, but I can definitely say that I sincerely respect Leo, who is my spiritual older brother.
“Besides, the reason is understandable. “To balance power, right?”
“Oh, this kind of thing makes sense.”
Only a portion of Chris’ body was in a state where Yonghwa had manifested, and as a result, each part of his body would have been out of balance.
So, for now, it was important to first build the muscles and technique that could support Yonghwa’s right arm.
“Now, you can think of that arm as a weapon rather than a body. “It may vary from case to case, but for you, the cannon would be laughable.”
As such, the importance of physical balance was bound to increase. If you’re not careful, you could end up being eaten by the dragon’s mercy both physically and mentally.
“I can stop here today. “Let’s sort it out.”
“Yes? Already? “More than what I usually do…”
“Now I have to prepare to return to the mansion. “I can’t stay in the temple forever.”
As the personnel arrangement was coming to an end, it was necessary to prepare to leave the temple.
Chris’s treatment for Yonginhwa is over, and there is no danger of her own demonization going out of control any time soon, so she can go back to her mansion and reorganize.
“More than anything, Ariasviel…”
“Yes! Master!”
While he was slightly turning his head, a slave (warrior) with a chest like Taesan appeared.
He must have been a warrior chosen by God, but before he knew it, a miracle occurred that seemed unbelievable.
“…I told you not to call me that.”
Leonardo couldn’t help but hold his eyebrows in a frustrated yet happy contemplation.
The temple revered warriors as apostles of God as much as saints.
As he is the first later-generation warrior to appear since Ruben, his respect and reverence for Ariasviel may already be greater than that of Lumine.
“Oh, no! Please think comfortably!! Rather, it’s okay if you think of it as a pet!”
“…”
Leonardo was seriously wondering why his noble rival had become like that, and Chris could not help but painfully worry about how to react to his nephew having such tendencies.
“Then it’s an order. Don’t use that kind of title outside. Okay?”
“…I understand.”
Araaspil looked at the people around him with a subtle sense of regret.
As Master Raynald said, there were too many people watching now. As a warrior now, I needed to pay attention to the opinions of people around me.
… It gave me pleasure to see these gazes pouring out in front of Leo… But I needed to endure it.
“…Then…”
Ariasviel stood up and whispered softly into Leonardo’s ear.
“…Is it okay to do this when it’s just the two of us? Master?”
A breath of barely repressed perverted desire leaked out.
“…That…”
He couldn’t answer right away.
I didn’t have the confidence to refuse.
A man who openly refused this could not be called a man.
And Leonardo is definitely one of the men with a strong s*xual desire and blood.
“…So…”
Even though I was able to endure no matter what kind of demon I was attacked by, it was impossible for me to endure after hearing these words from my first love.
“…Maybe it’ll be okay…?”
[What are you doing?]
“Wow!”
Just as Leo was answering, a wise man who appeared behind him slowly penetrated his spiritual form and asked a question.
Normally, Leonardo would have noticed a spirit form, but right now, he was temporarily enchanted by black magic, so he was dead for a moment.
[Are there any paladins here? Why is a man in his 50s playing a slave with a teenage girl…!]
Wow!!
{Sage! Don’t embarrass me, just be quiet!}
Saint Angela physically killed the wise man in order to kill him. Angela had grown accustomed to her boyish appearance.
“…So what happened to you two?”
“Yes…! “It’s just finished!”
“…Huh? “Ahhhhh!!”
Behind him was a half-elf with the appearance of a former graduate student who looked like a complete beggar.
She had become emaciated over the past few days, and the black shadows around her eyes reminded her of an undead, not an elf, but Leonardo was still able to recognize who she was.
“…Sister-in-law…!? “How did it happen like that…”
“…Yeah… I forgot I didn’t have a ring and stayed up all night like usual…”
Although she was surprised at first, she was also subtly accustomed to this attitude.
There was definitely a guy like this in the first episode.
“…So, I told you to take it easy a little bit. “I know dark circles are Ameri’s charming point, but… Wow…”
“…Don’t raise your blood pressure because it’s difficult because of the caffeine…”
Ameri, who was tired, put Rios in a headlock and strangled him even with her slender physique.
At first glance, it was no different from an act of affection, and since Rios was joking, no one stopped him.
“…Thanks to Mr. Ameri, organizing the data became easier.”
“I could understand why Bernan chose me as his successor.”
Lumine and Eileen did not spare praise for Ameri, who was overworked for cooperation.
Comparing the information on the advanced demons from the first round and the demons from the second round was so tiring that even Eileen felt the moisture in her eyes evaporate.
Excluding the Imperial Family, comparing and erasing all the warlocks and demons caught by the Temple, Reinhardt, and the Magic Tower was an unimaginable task.
“…The classification was simpler than I thought, so I finished it quickly.”
“…Ah…Really?”
It was a labor that even Leonardo expected would take another month, but Améri had completed the paperwork-based labor in just three days.
“…As expected… That guy…”
“Yes? “Something is wrong…”
“No, let’s go and check what we’ve organized first. “The training is just over.”
Leonardo said that and moved his seat.
I couldn’t explain right now why my expression and the corners of my mouth were trembling slightly.
* * *
All family members who knew about Leonardo’s return were gathered together to listen to the briefing.
“First of all, these are the characters excluded from the list of mines written by Leonardo. “At least 100 units are excluded.”
“…Do this one by one…”
It was surprising that Leonardo caught so many mines, but it was also quite surprising that Ameri picked them out by comparing each and every piece of information.
“Better than that, are you okay…? “The situation suddenly…”
“Oh, it’s okay… It’s because I drank espresso from the whole bottle.”
After the ring was removed, Ameri’s caffeine addiction went away again soon after.
Even with her ring on in the first place, she drank 10 cups of coffee a day, and now that she can’t even detox, her condition would have inevitably worsened.
“…If you follow this logic, you can see that Mary Lamia and Berserker have something in common.”
Mary Lamia, who attacked Reinhardt, and her necromancer vampire were also treated as the devil’s limbs.
If we found the commonalities between the vampire necromancer and the berserker, we were able to find one rule.
There was one rule that other demons did not have.
“…Demons who suddenly appeared after Ariasviel’s death… Or it might reasonably be true that it was after the death of the Demon King.”
After the joint destruction of Ariasviel and the Demon King, they suddenly appeared. Even if you don’t know the birth process, the growth process was abnormally fast, even considering that it was a demon.
“…Then, the demons that have already been hunted…”
“Wait a minute.”
But for Leonardo, there were things that were more questionable and curious than anything else.
It was a question that was several times more intriguing than the similarities she found between the top-level demons she had killed and the demon king’s limbs.
“…Leo… Raynald? “Do you have anything to say?”
“Actually, that’s what I want to ask you guys on the Magic Tower side, but it’s a very important issue to me.”
It was a problem with an engineer who supported him in the first round.
I wanted to change her continued doubts about her into her current confidence.
“Do you know a wizard who uses the nickname ‘Caffeine Mechanic’ in the Magic Tower?”
“…Caffeine Mechanic?”
No one could give a simple answer to the name, which felt like a joke.
“This is my first time hearing this. “Such a strange tinnitus…”
“…Of course it’s not his real name…But there is no such person in the Magic Tower…”
If it were an ordinary name, it might be confusing for someone with the same name, but I have never heard of such a nickname.
Even Eileen, who is good at information warfare, couldn’t even guess.
The only people who responded were one couple.
“Ah!! Come to think of it, that’s the pen name of the author who writes pure love romances!!”
“…A romance novelist?”
If nothing else, Rios himself clearly remembers this pen name.
“We also provide self-written novels in the Magic Tower library, but Caffeine Mechanic is the most popular among them, so he’s a secret expert that everyone who knows the Magic Tower knows!”
“…Why does someone like that know Raynald…?”
“But it’s definitely the same!! Even the recently published version has the same pen name! Look! [Fifty Shades of a Female Knight]!”
Rios handed Ameri the publication he carried like a talisman. In the published version, the clear stage name [Caffeine Master] Was written in the author section.
When she saw that, a lot of cold sweat flowed from Ameri’s pale face.
“Perhaps… why do I have to meet someone like that…”
“He was the guy who supported me by procuring equipment and weapons during the first round, so I thought I should meet him now.”
Ameri’s pupils flutter at the words equipment and weapons. To Leonardo, she seemed to have a completely different cause than caffeine overload.
“…No, no weapon! It’s procurement. “Even if it’s not enough, I…”
“And I took care of his child and protected him as much as possible…”
“Yes!? “I’m having children!?”
Ameri asked back louder than ever.
After that, not only Ameri’s voice but also her self-esteem shrunk smaller than ever.
