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 blanket .

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 plants and minerals like magic stones are on display .

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 placed .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 black robes, several silver and gold coins, multiple rings, white chainmail, and black 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 these later, I close the treasure chest .

When I stand up, a book with a leather cover comes 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 plate .

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

I sit down in the high-class 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 class 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 a large 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 related 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 stimulates 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 Milady governing over life are also related .

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 this laughable?

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 relationship . Moreover, using the relationship I was able to directly make a contract with the master of the labyrinth .

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

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

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

This is a magic tool related to Mellady and Beikala .

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 sometimes comes to my room .

It is the master of the labyrinth; 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 finally completed . Theta .

But, it doesn’t even twitch…

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

The power to control the related 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 heart completely 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 relatively 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 birthplace, 【 Hector 】

By having slaughtered 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 become 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 related 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-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 . ”

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’ll lay you back down…”

Holding Yui’s head, I lift her body and lay 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 .

I lay down while being satisfied by such a figure .

I 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 . )

◇◇◇◇

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 become little more than rags .

I 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 .

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 is laying .

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

“A bath…”

She mumbles . A bath shouldn’t be uncommon .

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

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 splashing .

Yui looks at us and talks .

“Is that soap?”

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

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

“W-why are you coming 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 exclaims .

I remove her jacket by force .

I removed her black 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 . ”

I 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 . )

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 relax . ”

“You, aren’t you excited though…”

“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 . ”

“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 . ”

While 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 .

When Yui finally seems to have become quiet she glares 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 I come 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 place 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 flavor 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 platters .

“Yui, food is done〜”

“…”

She looks back but stays silent . She is still glaring 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 changed completely 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 platter has been eaten .

“You still want to eat?”

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

Go away…
