Chapter 27


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


    “Rest in bed . ”


    “Ku, un . ”


    “I’ll help you . ”


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


    “N, thanks . ”


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


    “Nya . ”


    Rollo licks Yui’s arm in concern .


    “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?”


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


    “Understood . ”


    I go into the next room after covering such a Yui in a nket .


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


    There 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 nts and minerals like magic stones are on disy .


    There 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 ced .


    Ceramic bottles simr to round bottomed sks are lined up around and connected to a ck triangle shaped apparatus with cracks in it .


    There is a bed in the middle of a rectangr magic formation .


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


    However, they do not feel like they are used for cksmithing .


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


    There is a study desk in the right corner, ce with it is a high quality chair that looksfortable .


    A small treasure chest is also underneath .


    -Treasure chest .


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


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


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


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


    All of the articles seem to contain Mana .


    This is treasure . I will inspect all of theseter, I close the treasure chest .


    When I stand up, a book with a leather coveres into view .


    In 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 te .


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


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

    ○ Month ○ Day


    Theta has fallen ill .


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


    I only study by myself .


    I will spend time with my wife in the future .


    ○ Month ○ Day


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


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


    She needs to be cured soon…


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


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


    Why, why must my wife suffer!


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


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


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


    ○Month ○Day


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


    …Theta died .


    Don’t fuck around . Too heartless . This world is cruel .


    After all, a good god, wouldn’t…


    ○Month ○Day


    I will take back my wife .


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


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


    First of all, I need to collect information…


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


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


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


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


    I pay arge sum of money for information and search the magic shops in 【 Hector 】 .


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


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


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


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


    I 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 .


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


    ○Month  ○Day


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


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


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


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


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


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


    Moreover, 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 .


    ○Month ○Day


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


    Isn’t thisughable?


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


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


    There was an easy condition .


    Information 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 .


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


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


    With this by study will progress further .


    ○Month ○Day


    I pray to Beik for hatred and love, life, a soul is offered .


    I give a portion of my wife’s body to Mdy, and give it the blood of my rtives .


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


    This is a magic tool rted to Medy and Beik .


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


    After I studied in this condition for a while, a monster with bone wings sometimeses to my room .


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


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


    If it’s this, I can revive Theta .


    My wife…endure of little longer .


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


    ○Month ○Day


    It’s finallypleted . Theta .


    But, it doesn’t even twitch…


    Rotten flesh and spirits are still required inrge quantities for Theta .


    The power to control the rted attribute still seems to be insufficient .


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


    ○Month ○Day


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


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


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


    Buahaha, ahahahahahahahahahaha .


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


    My reasoning is steadily declining,


    There is no one who is able to stop me . A dejected heartpletely swallowed in darkness .


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


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


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


    ○Month ○Day


    Finally, yata . I did it .


    Theta moved .


    It was worth sacrificing my love, hatred and soul .


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


    But, we can no longer stay in our birthce, 【 Hector 】


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


    I have been exiled by the Gustaves .


    Somewhere, I must move my base…


    □■□■


    Then, I close Zoru’s diary .


    The man called Zoru seems to have be extremely violent .


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


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


    I turn my eyes to the bookshelf .


    In the magic user’s room there are a lot of magic rted books .


    I am interested in the books, but for now,


    “Medicine…”


    While 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 .


    Potion bottles lined up in a row .


    Now, which one should I take?


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


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


    Her smile is cute .


    Once she notices me her face turns serious again .


    What, this gap . Smile at me sometimes too .


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


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


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


    “Got it . ”


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


    I give her a little whiff one after the other .


    “The one just now is a recovery potion . And I think the first one is a first-ss 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 . ”


    I smell it too…I cannot tell .


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


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


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


    “Ah, I’ll leave it you . ”


    “A?n”


    When Yui hears me she smiles at me in confusion .


    “N?”


    “It means ‘open your mouth . ''”


    “Hey, this is my limit . ”


    Being convinced, Yui opens her mouth a little . ”


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


    Ma, that makes sense if she can speak .


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


    “Yosh, drink it . ”


    “…”


    She nods in silence .


    “Then, I’lly you back down…”


    Holding Yui’s head, I lift her body andy her on top of the bed .


    After I put her down I leave the storeroom .


    I will move the popobumu I had left alone .


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


    And, 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 .


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


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


    I appreciate Yui’s cute sleeping face .


    Not making a sound, while walking slowly- sit on the next bed and appreciate her sleeping face again .


    Rollo has also curled up and gone to sleep .


    Iy down while being satisfied by such a figure .


    I spend the night with my eyes closed for a while until I naturally be 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 . )


    ◇◇◇◇


    The next morning-


    I wake up early as always .


    The usual way .


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


    -Rollo .


    Without me noticing she fell asleep under my feet .


    I smile at such a cute Rollo .


    Now 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 be little more than rags .


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


    I lean the ck spear against the way I am talking .


    Now then, I will enter the bath .


    I look for a bucket in the room .


    “You’re…naked?”


    “Ah, I was training, oh, ata ata…”


    There is a big pail sitting in the corner .


    I carry it to the foot of the bed .


    “N, what?”


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


    While I exin I pour water in with Life Magic and clean the pail .


    “A bath…”


    She mumbles . A bath shouldn’t be umon .


    After 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 . )


    “Fuu…”


    -It feels nice .


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


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


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


    Rollo sshes the surface of the water *pasha pasha* and ys .


    I 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 .


    “Nyaa? Nya . ”


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


    She closes her eyes and is quietly washed by me .


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


    Yui looks at us and talks .


    “Is that soap?”


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


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


    “W-why are youing over here naked?”


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


    “Eh?”


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


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


    “Uh, but, no . ”


    “Arguing is useless . ”


    “Hii, i, iyaaaaa-”


    Yui exims .


    I remove her jacket by force .


    I removed her ck clothes and chain mail leaving her buck-ass naked .


    “Hehhentai . ”


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


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


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


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


    “Kill…”


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


    Iyer 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 . )


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


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


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


    Yui is clearly staring at my crotch .


    “Are you going to attack me?”


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


    “You, aren’t you excited though…”


    “Hey, it’s a man absolute justice, an uncontroble 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 . ”


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


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


    “What? Do you want to be attacked?”


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


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


    “What, the heck are you doing!”


    “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 . ”


    “Bullshit, what husband, lover, hentai erection man!”


    A?h, she got mad . She is really angry .


    Ma, that much is normal .


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


    …I do not say that .


    You should hate me if you hate me .


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


    “…Ahaha, fine . I’m a hentai . ”


    Whileugh 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 Iy her on top of the bed .


    When Yui finally seems to have be quiet she res at me while turning the other way .


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


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


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


    I go through the bags without minding it .


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


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


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


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


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


    After 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 .


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


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


    The bitter vor of the herbs mixes well with the meat in the soup .


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


    I share out the wooden and dishes and carry the food on tters .


    “Yui, food is done?”


    “…”


    She looks back but stays silent . She is still ring at me .


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


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


    She was still in a bad mood, but as soon as she smelled the meal attitude changedpletely and improved .


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


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


    “It’s good, but it’s hot . ”


    In the blink of an eye everything on the tter has been eaten .


    “You still want to eat?”


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


    Go away…
