nChapter 27

nWhen I return to the storage shed, Yui is trying to move her body with a frantic expression .

n“Rest in bed . ”

n“Ku, un . ”

n“I’ll help you . ”

nI pick up Yui’s body and lean her against the wall next to the bed .

n“N, thanks . ”

n“Good . There’s no need to thank me every time . ”

n“Nya . ”

nRollo licks Yui’s arm in concern .

n“I guess I’ll check this house . The owner was like that . There should be something valuable here . Besides, maybe there is another recovery potion to cure Yui’s body?”

n“That’s right . If you find some bring them to me, I can distinguish between medicines . ”

n“Understood . ”

nI go into the next room after covering such a Yui in a blanket .

nThe room Zoru and Theta talked in is a room fusing magic and pseudo-science .

nThere is a big bookshelf set up in the bottom left corner in an “L” shape, and on a nearby shelf is a big ceramic pot, things like medicinal plants and minerals like magic stones are on display .

nThere are a lot of ceramic potion bottles lined up on the oak desk, a powdered aluminum-like substance is spread around where an azure mortar and pestle are placed .

nCeramic bottles similar to round bottomed flasks are lined up around and connected to a black triangle shaped apparatus with cracks in it .

nThere is a bed in the middle of a rectangular magic formation .

nThere is the apparatus and equipment used for some kind of procedure or ceremony, there is also something like a black hearth made of metal .

nHowever, they do not feel like they are used for blacksmithing .

nA magic formation that has lost its light is written nearby on the floor .

nThere is a study desk in the right corner, place with it is a high quality chair that looks comfortable .

nA small treasure chest is also underneath .

n-Treasure chest .

nI stoop down and open the lid of the treasure chest .

nIt is not locked . It immediately opens with a *paka*

nInside is one of Zoru’s black robes, several silver and gold coins, multiple rings, white chainmail, and black boots .

nPacked into the right corner of the box are a bunch of bundled papers written with magic characters .

nAll of the articles seem to contain Mana .

nThis is treasure . I will inspect all of these later, I close the treasure chest .

nWhen I stand up, a book with a leather cover comes into view .

nIn addition, there is a high quality quill pen with a metal handle engraved with antique designs in a ceramic case . There is also an ink plate .

nThis book, nothing is written on the surface of the leather, but Pin . Maybe this is a diary?

nI sit down in the high-class chair, then open the book and turn a page…

n○ Month ○ Day

nTheta has fallen ill .

nI will buy one of the purple flowers Theta likes tomorrow .

nI only study by myself .

nI will spend time with my wife in the future .

n○ Month ○ Day

nMy wife has surrendered to her disease; her stamina is gradually declining .

nHer face lit up and looked so happy when she saw the purple flower .

nShe needs to be cured soon…

nIt has been several days, but she hasn’t improved at all .

nIt is strange . Medicine and recovery magic do not work .

nWhy, why must my wife suffer!

nIs it my fault? Is it because I have devoted my whole life to making magic skill rings?

nAlia-sama, god of love, please, cure my wife!

nSpirit of light, is Ilodis, the god of light, really looking over us?

n○Month ○Day

nShit, **, **, no (TL: Someone help with this: ぐいfsーあふぃdさえいふじあ)

n…Theta died .

nDon’t ** around . Too heartless . This world is cruel .

nAfter all, a good god, wouldn’t…

n○Month ○Day

nI will take back my wife .

nA container can be made with magic gold working to preserve my wife’s corpse .

nIt could be a god, it could be a demonic being, but I don’t care .

nFirst of all, I need to collect information…

nI am the eldest son of the Gustaves family . And, Zoru Gustaves is a first class magician of the magic guild in Hector .

nUsing this background, I collected information from every corner I could find .

nI checked with the head of the Gustaves family and was able to get strictly prohibited secret documents about Magic Wogan Dolls .

nMa, my own family has massive pull with secret art magic engineers who use magic ore to create magic dolls .

nI pay a large sum of money for information and search the magic shops in 【 Hector 】 .

nI was able to acquire several documents about using summoning magic to forcibly obtain a departed soul .

nThinking about it now, I have been making rings as a magic goldsmith since I was young, I studied the magic and skills related to being a magic engineer handed down in the Gustaves family, it may have “all” been for my wife .

nLetting a mineral and a high-density crystal core fuse as the body’s core, it stimulates dissolution and a weak spirit can be sealed .

nThis skill is inherited generation to generation and the person with it has a special mark on their forehead .

nI have hated the mark since I was born, but it is different now . Thanks to it, I can save my wife . Things like the glory of a magic goldsmith no longer matter .

nI shall use the skill with all of my heart, soul, and mana to save Theta .

n○Month ○Day

nI was finally able to get the foundation for the technique of the magic spirit doll .

nThe dedicated skills, high-density crystal, wood, metal, monster materials, all of the necessary small articles .

nBesides an enormous amount of mana, the person’s type of corpse and a soul that are all indispensable, Baikal the god of death and Milady governing over life are also related .

nWhat I am doing incorporates arts that the magic guild and hold church consider taboo, unlike the magic wogan doll .

nFortunately, the church in this city is small in scale .

nThere’s also only one bishop . But, I will have to fight against the magic guild and adventurer’s guild .

nMoreover, I must gather information…right now, anywhere is good . I listen to rumors, dark parties, maybe I should look into the dark guild in this city .

n○Month ○Day

nWhile collecting information from the dark guild as well as the thief’s guild I discovered that there is a demonic being in 【 Hector 】

nIsn’t this laughable?

nA demonic being has always been living side by side with people in this city .

nI came into contact with the demonic being and established a relationship . Moreover, using the relationship I was able to directly make a contract with the master of the labyrinth .

nThere was an easy condition .

nInformation on Magic Doll, summoning magic, instead of information about spirits, a ring with the Darkbone Helm, the item necessary for reviving a dead person, I was able to get “Spirit Absorption” concerning gods .

nThe ring seems to be able to some a decent soldier from hell .

nBut, the ancient charm is more important than the ring .

nWith this by study will progress further .

n○Month ○Day

nI pray to Beikala for hatred and love, life, a soul is offered .

nI give a portion of my wife’s body to Milady, and give it the blood of my relatives .

n“Spirit Absorption” is totally different from magic doll . Inserting the soul, the soul changes into magic essence and becomes powerful .

nThis is a magic tool related to Mellady and Beikala .

nThere seem to be other evil god tools, but I’m unable to use them .

nAfter I studied in this condition for a while, a monster with bone wings sometimes comes to my room .

nIt is the master of the labyrinth; it doesn’t seem to trust me very much .

nFu . Shit, it’s a demonic being, but…fufufu, ma, it’s fine .

nIf it’s this, I can revive Theta .

nMy wife…endure of little longer .

nWhen I take out the preserved corpse of my wife, I chop up Theta’s body .

n○Month ○Day

nIt’s finally completed . Theta .

nBut, it doesn’t even twitch…

nRotten flesh and spirits are still required in large quantities for Theta .

nThe power to control the related attribute still seems to be insufficient .

nI must be careful when using “Spirit Absorption”…it is brittle and fragile .

n○Month ○Day

nMy research in 【 Hector 】 has been exposed to the mast of the magic guild, Benji Zengare .

nAs expect of those impressive people who built the castle wall . It was unreasonable of me to expect to remain hidden .

nBut, when there was a fuss, I tricked and killed a number of the guild, including Benji .

nBuahaha, ahahahahahahahahahaha .

nServes you right! This is what happens to those who interrupt my research .

nMy reasoning is steadily declining,

nThere is no one who is able to stop me . A dejected heart completely swallowed in darkness .

nAfter that members of the guild have been attacking one after the other, I have kill all of the would-be avengers .

nBecause I have the ring of the raijuu I am able to handle them relatively easily . (TL: Raijuu, not Riajuu, is a mythical beast that descends from the sky with a thunderbolt . I choose to use Raijuu . )

nFuhahahaha, this is perfect, their souls and corpses are exactly what I needed .

n○Month ○Day

nFinally, yata . I did it .

nTheta moved .

nIt was worth sacrificing my love, hatred and soul .

nShe has no memories of her life time…but my wife revived .

nBut, we can no longer stay in our birthplace, 【 Hector 】

nBy having slaughtered the members of the guild I am going to be pursued by the holy knights and adventurers of this city .

nI have been exiled by the Gustaves .

nSomewhere, I must move my base…

n□■□■

nThen, I close Zoru’s diary .

nThe man called Zoru seems to have become extremely violent .

nIn this disgusting diary, the violet, was it love that drove him to do such thing?

nSighing I shake my head side to side and stand up from the chair .

nI turn my eyes to the bookshelf .

nIn the magic user’s room there are a lot of magic related books .

nI am interested in the books, but for now,

n“Medicine…”

nWhile muttering quietly, overlooking the gold wrought items on the left side of the room I move to the front of the book shelf and the desk .

nPotion bottles lined up in a row .

nNow, which one should I take?

nI return back to the room Yui is in with the ceramic bottles .

nWhen I return Yui is looking at Rollo with a gentle smile .

nHer smile is cute .

nOnce she notices me her face turns serious again .

nWhat, this gap . Smile at me sometimes too .

nWith a strange determination in my heart I approach her with the bottles I am carrying .

n“-Yui, I brought a lot of bottles . Hey, these all look the same, but do you which is which?”

n“N, I can tell . Let me smell them . ”

n“Got it . ”

nI open the ceramic bottles one at a time and bring them close to Yui’s nose .

nI give her a little whiff one after the other .

n“The one just now is a recovery potion . And I think the first one is a first-class recovery potion . The others are bad . Oh, this one . The next one is odorless . Hey, this might be the medicine that paralyzed me…the antidote is the next one . ”

nI smell it too…I cannot tell .

n“Amazing . You really can really tell by the smell . ”

n“It’s because I sometimes use them in my work . For assassination…”

n“I see, that makes sense . So, will you drink this recovery potion with this antidote?”

n“Ah, I’ll leave it you . ”

n“A〜n”

nWhen Yui hears me she smiles at me in confusion .

n“N?”

n“It means ‘open your mouth . '”

n“Hey, this is my limit . ”

nBeing convinced, Yui opens her mouth a little . ”

nShe seems to be able to move the muscles in her face a little .

nMa, that makes sense if she can speak .

nI tip the thin rim of the bottle to her tongues and pour the liquid into her mouth .

n“Yosh, drink it . ”

n“…”

nShe nods in silence .

n“Then, I’ll lay you back down…”

nHolding Yui’s head, I lift her body and lay her on top of the bed .

nAfter I put her down I leave the storeroom .

nI will move the popobumu I had left alone .

nConnected to the popobumu’s mouth is lead which is tied to a tree next to the entrance of the storeroom .

nAnd, I use the ingredients in the kitchen and mix together the potatoes and leaves to make feed for the popobumu and put it in a wooden bowl .

nI do not forget to remove its saddle and carry to the bags into the storage room .

nOnce I return to the storage room after putting the baggage in order Yui is already sleeping .

nI appreciate Yui’s cute sleeping face .

nNot making a sound, while walking slowly- sit on the next bed and appreciate her sleeping face again .

nRollo has also curled up and gone to sleep .

nI lay down while being satisfied by such a figure .

nI spend the night with my eyes closed for a while until I naturally become sleepy . (TL: I want to say something . It seems like Shuya doesn’t need to sleep and I am incredibly jealous . I hate sleeping, and being sleepy . It takes me one to two hours to fall asleep at night and that’s if I wait up until some ungodly hour to get tired . If I go to bed at nine I may not fall asleep until twelve . If I was Shuya I would never sleep again . )

n◇◇◇◇

nThe next morning-

nI wake up early as always .

nThe usual way .

nWhen I get up Rollo as always raises her face and looks at me .

n-Rollo .

nWithout me noticing she fell asleep under my feet .

nI smile at such a cute Rollo .

nNow then, I will get undressed . There is a hole in the leather clothes where the lightning struck and burns surrounding it . I remove the leather clothes that have become little more than rags .

nI strip my upper body and carry my black spear in one hand and the kukri sword in the other I go outside to the front of the garden .

nIn the garden I do some light spear training exercises, finally ending the training by flinging the spear into the ground in a big attack .

nAfter I am satisfied with my morning training I put out the popobumu’s breakfast and return to the storage room where Yui is laying .

nShe is already up and is trying to forcibly move her body while her upper body is trembling .

n“Yui, you’re able to move a little now?”

nShe hears me asking about her condition and for a moment, has a joyful expression .

n“…Ah! Ah, only a little . But, like this…”

n“You can’t expect a full recovery in just one day, can you?”

nI lean the black spear against the way I am talking .

nNow then, I will enter the bath .

nI look for a bucket in the room .

n“You’re…naked?”

n“Ah, I was training, oh, ata ata…”

nThere is a big pail sitting in the corner .

nI carry it to the foot of the bed .

n“N, what?”

n“It’s for a bath . Bath . I sweat a lot . ”

nWhile I explain I pour water in with Life Magic and clean the pail .

n“A bath…”

nShe mumbles . A bath shouldn’t be uncommon .

nAfter I finish cleaning the pail I fill it with hot water and then strip down naked before putting a foot in the hot water . (TL: Okay, two things . First: Dude . Seriously . Second: I guess pail is more like tub . )

n“Fuu…”

n-It feels nice .

nI wash my face with the water and pour hot water over my head .

nI take some gyuza grass out from the bags and turn my back to Yui . (TL: Gyuza grass is soap . )

nI rub it between my hands I wash my whole body, starting from my face .

nRollo splashes the surface of the water *pasha pasha* and plays .

nI catch Rollo by the scruff of her neck and her body stretches out as she is lifted, this is for the sake of making her nice and clean .

n“Nyaa〜 Nya . ”

nRollo calls out like that at first but then seems to understand behaves herself .

nShe closes her eyes and is quietly washed by me .

nWhen I finally say “done,” Rollo jumps into the hot water and begins the swim splish splashing .

nYui looks at us and talks .

n“Is that soap?”

n“Not exactly, but it’s similar . ” It removes dirt . ”

nWith a smile I step up of the tub and approach Yui, naked . (TL: Stahp . )

n“W-why are you coming over here naked?”

n“Well, Yui needs to take a bath . ” (TL: No ulterior motives here . )

n“Eh?”

nThe nostrils on Yui’s face move making them kunkun .

n“Don’t you smell a little? You won’t be able to get stains out if you stay like this . ”

n“Uh, but, no . ”

n“Arguing is useless . ”

n“Hii, i, iyaaaaa-”

nYui exclaims .

nI remove her jacket by force .

nI removed her black clothes and chain mail leaving her buck-ass naked .

n“Hehhentai . ”

n“Shut it . I won’t deny it, up we go . ”

nI lift her light body and hold her in a princess carry .

nI carry her like that to take a bath in the hot water .

n“Do you understand a body is warm? It may help the paralysis . ” (TL: That…is actually a valid point . )

n“Kill…”

n“Maa, maa, it’s fine . I’ll wash your body . ”

nI layer some leather clothes on the edge of the pail and lean Yui’s head against them . Stabilize . Using the gyuza grass I wash all of Yui’s body . (TL: Irredeemable hentai . )

nFuu, I am getting a little excited . Her crotch is fuzzy .

n“Oi, there’s no ulterior motive, I’m not a monster . ” (TL: 一物 can also mean penis . )

n“N, hey, is it the important symbol of a man?”

nYui is clearly staring at my crotch .

n“Are you going to attack me?”

n“No, no, it’s not that . I won’t embrace a woman who doesn’t want it . So relax . ”

n“You, aren’t you excited though…”

n“Hey, it’s a man absolute justice, an uncontrollable physiological phenomenon . I can’t help it because Yui is beautiful . It’s normal if I am rubbing breasts, this has been decided by the gods . ”

n“B-beautiful…because of that, you say you won’t attack me?”

nShe seems surprised by what I said . She is quiet for a time and stares at me .

n“What? Do you want to be attacked?”

n“It’s absolutely different, I mean, bringing your face close naaaaaa”

n“Shush, you seem to be fine . Either way, are you able to move?”

n“What, the heck are you doing!”

n“Even if you say that, oh, that reminds me, I never told you my name . My name Shuya Kagari . -Your future husband, the name of your lover . ”

n“Bull**, what husband, lover, hentai erection man!”

nA〜h, she got mad . She is really angry .

nMa, that much is normal .

nHowever, if it was not for me you would be dead you know?

n…I do not say that .

nYou should hate me if you hate me .

nI like this woman . I am just just helping her .

n“…Ahaha, fine . I’m a hentai . ”

nWhile laugh I carry Yui in my arms, “Baka, stop it . Hentai . ” as she nags me I wipe her body down with some leather, and dressing her in some of my clothes I lay her on top of the bed .

nWhen Yui finally seems to have become quiet she glares at me while turning the other way .

n“Oi, don’t get mad at me . Now, I’m going to get us something to eat . ”

nBecause there are potatoes and edible herbs in the kitchen I begin to cook something with those .

nAfter peeling the potato skins she is still in the same state as before when I return for of the seasoning in the saddle bags…

nI go through the bags without minding it .

nWhile I am going through the bags I come across some jerky, the rabbit meat I hunted, and the meat of the fake hawk .

nI am a little hesitant about the false hawk’s meat…

nI am will not know unless I eat the bird cancer or the dove . I will eat it .

nI take the meat to the kitchen, beat the meat lightly, cut it finely with a knife, and lightly salt it .

nThen, because I found something an oil that tastes a little like white wine, I pour a little of the oil into the frying and place the finely cut meat in the frying pan, lightly frying the surface of the meat .

nAfter that, I mixed the seared meat together with the potatoes and a garlic like herb to take care of the smell, and transfer them from the big frying pan into a pot .

nIn the iron pot I stew the meat along with the potatoes and vegetables after adding water and liquor on the fire-lit stove .

nAfter a little while it is done, and the lightly-salted soup made with jerk, the barbequed chicken, and rabbit meat is done .

nThe bitter flavor of the herbs mixes well with the meat in the soup .

nI was worried about the liquor, but it seems to have softened the meat and taken care of the smell so it tastes really good .

nI share out the wooden and dishes and carry the food on platters .

n“Yui, food is done〜”

n“…”

nShe looks back but stays silent . She is still glaring at me .

n“The taste is okay . It feels like a simple pot luck . For now, try and taste some, hora, open your mouth . ”

n“Fu, why, pot luck? N?- It smells good . ”

nShe was still in a bad mood, but as soon as she smelled the meal attitude changed completely and improved .

nI bring a spoon to her small ero mouth and feed her .

nI am relieved that she is hungry . She eats it with great relish .

n“It’s good, but it’s hot . ”

nIn the blink of an eye everything on the platter has been eaten .

n“You still want to eat?”

n“Uun . I’m already good, thank you for the meal . But, go away now . ”

nGo away…
