27 – Thank you
I’m not sure if it’s right to say that this was resolved well.
Anyway, from now on, I have given permission to call Delia in the evening instead of the early morning.
I achieved what I set out to achieve.
‘But the problem is… ‘
Instead of being able to summon you in the evening, there were some conditions.
The first was that it was okay to cross the line, but the moment you crossed it, you had to take responsibility for it by getting married.
The second is to ask them to participate in a dinner party to be held later.
The third condition was to continue helping Delia modify her magic.
The conditions were somewhat embarrassing.
Actually, if you look at it one by one, it wasn’t that difficult, so I accepted it.
We were able to officially receive legal slaves.
‘I’ll make you regret it.’
Declaring that he will roll and roll and make Delia impoverished, he is contemplating what to order him to do first.
Delia, not sure if she knew my future or not, approached me with a smile.
“Anyway, I’ll take care of you in the future. I’ll work harder starting tomorrow. “If you think you’re good at your job, help me with more magic modifications.”
I responded as if I didn’t understand.
“Tomorrow?”
“… Huh?”
A short silence follows.
Delia blinked her eyes without saying a word and then asked me again with the feeling that it was probably not true.
“You’re taking a break today, right?”
“…… “
“Right… ji?
To that question, I turned my head and gave a short answer.
“That can’t be possible.”
I slowly walked forward, leaving behind the screaming voice.

As soon as I returned home, I gave my own feedback based on the combat information I had previously obtained.
As I progressed, I realized that there were many parts that were quite disappointing, and I shed a light sigh.
‘There are still many elements for growth.’
Even if we did a fairly good job of fighting with a single target.
When defeating two or more enemies at the same time, you can’t hide the feeling that you seem quite inadequate.
There was a need to quickly correct this.
‘And there’s no need to think too hard about how to fix it, you just need to learn range attack magic.’
However, the problem was that there were so many range attack magics that it was a question of which of them would be best to learn.
I glanced through the remaining spells, excluding all the weaker ones among the books piled up in front of me.
‘… ‘I can only see things with long casting speeds.’
This may be because the more you compress the magic power, the more powerful it is because it is the most intuitive and easy to use.
Most of them were in the form of sacrificing casting speed to make the power stronger.
I looked away, deciding that the magic placed there could not be used except under certain circumstances.
‘It’s true that such a good magic isn’t on the market; it’s probably only shared with a few people or kept to oneself.’
… In other words, in order to achieve what I want, I have to create a new magic or modify the existing magic.
After wondering which of these to choose, I sighed and decided to return to the path filled with thorns.
‘It would be better to make a new one.’
Remodeling was faster and easier than creating new magic.
The problem is that even if you modify it like that, you cannot escape from the original form of magic that is the basis.
The problem with the magic could be alleviated, but it was impossible to solve.
‘Of course, in the current situation, it wouldn’t be a big problem even if it were to this extent.’
If you think about the enemies of the Heavenly God Church or the devil’s minions that you will meet later…
Rather than learning flawed magic, the right decision would have been to create flawless magic for the future.
I smiled bitterly, thinking I wouldn’t be able to sleep for a while, and headed to the magic lab.

“… I came to visit you because I haven’t seen Lord Dern recently. “I wonder if there’s something wrong with Lord Dern.”
Perhaps because I haven’t been able to see Sien recently, I can hear Sien coming to my house and asking how I am.
I hesitated for a moment while looking at the large-scale area attack magic that had not yet been completed.
Soon, I slowly got up from my seat, pressing down on the area around my eyes where fatigue had settled down.
‘It would be right to at least reflect the face.’
I sighed, remembering how Shien had shown tears before.
If it were normal, I would have ignored it, but I don’t know if it was because I saw it like that, but it kept flashing in my mind, and I slowly walked towards the door.
‘In addition, I promised to act like a fiancé.’
You need to take at least the minimum action.
I opened the door, thinking that the weather had become quite chilly, and saw Shien fidgeting, dressed somewhat lighter than usual.
‘Wear light… ?’
As far as I know, Shien doesn’t wear such flowy clothes.
I’m wondering what on earth caused a change of heart to come dressed like that.
Sien calls out to me with a very happy expression.
“… Lord Dern!”
Then, he hurriedly tried to approach me, but as if he felt the attention of those around him, he quickly changed his expression and calmed his voice.
“Have you lived a long life?”
“… Okay.”
“Thank goodness.”
Am I feeling embarrassed about speaking bluntly?
I sighed as I looked at Shien who kept pulling the hem of her skirt down to cover her thighs.
‘If you’re going to do that, I think it would have been better to wear a long skirt.’
But I thought to myself, “Why did I have to come dressed like that?” And opened the door wider.
“Let’s go in first.”
“… Yes!”
He seemed to be somewhat happy that I was allowed to enter the lab, and his expression relaxed again and he nodded.
I looked at Shien like that and slowly entered the lab.

A somewhat messy lab.
I was so focused on creating magic that I didn’t even know I had become so dirty.
I was briefly regretting that I should have organized things a little bit.
“Lord Dern’s lab is full of effort, so it’s nice to see.”
I heard praise about my lab from Sien.
“For someone with so much talent to work so hard, the Magic Society must be keeping an eye on Lord Dern.”
I was at a loss for words due to the praise that seemed excessive, so I was just picking up documents.
A strange thing suddenly occurred to me and I answered as if I was asking Shien.
“How did you know that the Magic Society was keeping an eye on me?”
Shien is a believer in knights who doesn’t care about magic at all.
I thought it was a bit strange to hear a story related to the Magic Society coming from such a guy, so I asked him about it.
“That, that.”
Shien was very embarrassed and spoke urgently to me.
From noble mtl dot com
“I came across Lord Dern’s article by chance… She found out after looking through various related articles. Ah, no, not this one. I said it wrong. “I knew it wasn’t like that, it was just a famous story.”
No matter how embarrassed he is, he starts talking gibberish and talking about all kinds of things.
I silently made eye contact with Shien to tell him to calm down.
“Oh, that… !”
On the contrary, it seemed to have the opposite effect and he became restless and shouted at me.
“Well, I definitely haven’t seen everything! “We only looked at about 100!”
He looked at me with a relieved expression, perhaps because he thought he had made a good excuse when he bombarded me so openly.
When I look at Shien like that, I think I don’t know why a guy who is normally so smart acts like that.
I gave a short answer to conclude the topic for Sien’s sake.
“Thank you.”
“…… Yes?”
Shien looked at me blankly, probably not expecting me to say thank you.
Her earlobes gradually turn red and she stares at me with trembling eyes.
I don’t know if it’s because of the candlelight or because it’s getting colder.
Shien, whose face was redder than usual, lowered his head little by little and answered me in a hushed voice.
“Thank goodness. “Because Lord Dern likes it.”
I was looking at Shien like that and trying to ask him why he came here.
Shien, whose face was bright red, lifted up a nearby document and spoke to me in an urgent voice.
“By the way, Lord Dern. The lab has become quite dirty. “I’m pretty confident when it comes to housework, so would you mind leaving the cleaning to me?”
I was troubled for a moment by those words.
I definitely need to clean it, but I didn’t feel comfortable asking the guests to do this.
That’s why I couldn’t answer quickly, but Shien picked up a few more documents nearby and spoke.
“You don’t have to worry too much about professionalism. Although it was a long time ago, I am someone who has received only perfect scores in bridal classes. “I can do this kind of lyrics without much difficulty.”
After hearing those words, I paused for a moment and then nodded.
The reason why the room has been so dirty is due to preoccupation, but it is also to prepare for possible magic leaks.
This is because I could trust Shien to not leak magic at all.
‘I had to clean it anyway.’
I nodded, thinking I should ask.
Shien smiled brightly and spoke to me again.
“Thank you for trusting me.”
