Chapter 106

Hospitalization

Recently as the ruler was discovered in the 6th Battalion the situation became serious. To the extent the Grand Duke summoned all the captains.

At that the staff was on edge.

Above all—.

‘Galahad headed to the ruler.’

The mana stone mine business was a hope that can resolve the North’s finances. Galahad was an absolutely necessary existence.

That Galahad directly headed to the 6th Battalion—. the heart sank with a cheolleong.

‘What on earth are the other captain guys doing!’

So much that even got angry at the captains.

“If the captains did even half of Galahad would have already won the empire!”

One among the staff shouted. Other staff nodded.

Then, a hawk entered beyond the window. It was the 2nd Battalion Captain’s hawk.

Originally reports did not go up directly to the Grand Duke. First came to the staff. It was the order for the staff to organize that and raise to the Grand Duke.

Theodore hurriedly headed to the hawk. A long paper was tied to the hawk’s leg.

‘Of all the 2nd Battalion Captain.’

2nd Battalion Captain Liam that report was always too short.

Because the reason that reports must be concise to the extent one can see at a glance. Although quite reasonable words, compressing too much was the problem.

Theodore hurriedly opened the letter.

2nd Battalion Captain Liam’s letter was short as expected.

The problem—.

[Galahad caught the ruler. Squeezed the ruler’s blood. There was an additional problem underground. Galahad rode Adrianne with bare body. Although mostly saved the 6th Battalion’s soldiers, the 6th Battalion became a sea of fire and can no longer be used. It is Galahad’s merit. Succeeded.]

Theodore read the report again. Although short content, did not understand. At that slowly organized from the beginning.

Once, it seemed Galahad caught the ruler. Although squeezing the blood was a bit strange, anyway···.

The problem was the next.

‘Caught the ruler yet why the 6th Battalion a sea of fire······?’

Even that sea of fire is Galahad’s merit.

“How did it go? No, is safe?!”

Then, another staff asked in a quiet voice. Theodore pondered for a moment.

Although the 6th Battalion became a sea of fire, caught the ruler. Because if not blocked the high-rank demon race ruler the damage might have become larger, one could see blocked well.

So—.

“Says Captain Galahad caught the ruler.”

“Waa! As expected Galahad!”

“Captain Galahad!”

The staff burst cheers.

Then, a low groan was heard from behind. At some point the Grand Duke was seated.

The staff hurriedly bowed their heads.

The Grand Duke gestured to Theodore. Theodore carefully raised the letter.

The Grand Duke’s eyes quickly moved.

‘This time what merit will give.’

The high-rank demon race ruler, and that catching the ruler occupying the 6th Battalion—. indeed what merit will give. Expectation rose for nothing.

Then, the air rapidly became heavy.

Raising the head, the Grand Duke with face fully furrowed was seen.

It was clear anger,

‘······Why?’

Theodore slowly recalled the content of the report.

[Galahad rode Adrianne with bare body.]

Aigoo!

Theodore tightly closed his eyes.

****

Galahad’s state was quite not good. It was a state of the mana circuit torn by overload.

Although expected, actually experiencing was a different dimension.

‘The mana circuit is a mess.’

Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

The virtual passage where mana moves is the mana circuit, yet that mana circuit was all torn.

Thanks to Gwen somehow could attach, but still a mess.

‘Although expected, more vicious than thought.’

Galahad furrowed his eyes at the tingling pain.

Drinking two bottles of the ruler’s blood was for blocking the ruler’s plan, but at the same time also for strengthening the mana circuit more.

Although the mana circuit tearing was quite dangerous, instead if recovering that effect was certain.

The mana circuit would become thick and firm to a hard to compare with before degree.

If other mages hear would be amazed saying suicide, but to Galahad there were Adrianne and Gwen.

Eventually, cleaned and attached the mana circuit as planned. If recovering the mana circuit would become firmer to a hard to compare with before degree.

There even blocked the ruler, one could see the plan perfectly succeeded.

Yet—.

‘Why here again?’

Galahad slightly looked around.

It was that room where Galahad was confined when first coming to the North.

Unlike before this and that fully piled in the room, but that it is the same room did not change.

What changed—.

“Is there something needed?”

It was the point of heavily armed Adrianne guarding the door from inside.

Not blocking intrusion from outside, but a shape of blocking Galahad going out.

‘Confinement.’

That the situation became like this, there was also Galahad’s responsibility.

In the coming carriage Galahad who put the cigarette in his mouth habitually used magic.

Moving mana in a state of the mana circuit all torn was quite terrible. No, very terrible. To the extent even Galahad could not hold and leaked a groan.

However, mana moving in the torn mana circuit touched Galahad’s interest.

Savoring that sense and moving a few times, blood roughly splashed from the mouth.

At that Adrianne was startled and—.

‘Confined.’

It was now.

There was no particular dissatisfaction.

Because fact that the state is not good to the extent unable to use magic, it was time to devote to recovery.

Adrianne guarding was a considerable luxury.

However, there were a few problems.

The first problem—.

“Need the cigarette? I will take out.”

It was that Adrianne’s action is excessive.

Adrianne always stood at the vanguard, and regarded that as naturally one’s work.

Yet this time catching the ruler, and blocking that plan was also Galahad.

It was Adrianne who already feels guilt at bringing Galahad to the North. It seemed this matter acted larger.

The second—.

“···I will take out.”

“Ah! Sorry!”

It was the point that Adrianne’s nursing is quite clumsy.

It was Adrianne the Grand Duke’s only blood, and the North’s hero. Would such Adrianne have had a matter of looking after someone. There was no choice but to be a mess.

The third problem was that Adrianne’s eyebrows gradually go down.

“Fine. If you did not carry me on the back, would have burned and died there.”

No matter how many times saying no use. The gone down eyebrows had no sign of rising.

‘Broke.’

Galahad clicked his tongue and put the cigarette in his mouth.

Adrianne urgently flicked the flint. At the flint flicking in front Galahad furrowed his eyes.

“······Is it fine if I do?”

“I will ask a bit. Tom.”

Tom who could not bear stepped forward. As Tom softly swung the staff that lights fire, fire attached to the cigarette.

Adrianne’s eyebrows went down a little more.

‘Became quiet.’

Galahad slightly looked below. The pill of pain was not even felt presence. It seemed lost consciousness from being hit by Adrianne.

‘This time definitely catch.’

Leaving the pill of pain until now was because not particularly harm.

However, confirmed that the pill of pain might rise this time.

Although a matter possible because Galahad handed over, there was a need to confirm even a small possibility.

If refusing the leash—.

‘Have to eliminate.’

Galahad quietly tapped the cigarette.

That method found out this time. If asking Adrianne it would do.

Then, the door roughly opened. And what entered was First and Pumpkin. At the lying Galahad First furrowed his eyebrows.

“Overturned like this just using that degree magic a bit—. you, became frail.”

“No, why suddenly bullshit. Sorry!”

Pumpkin apologized instead, and First laughed heartily.

“It is the bet.”

First’s voice lowered. That expression became serious.

“You, lured the mages to the magic tower in the Magic Realm training site.”

“So is there some problem.”

Galahad gestured to Adrianne trying to step forward. A moment of silence continued. First raised the corners of his mouth.

“Doing such a clever thought. As expected my competitor. Hahaha!”

First laughed heartily. It was a guy who unnecessarily cleanly accepts the match.

“Come, this is the prize of the bet.”

First took out a potion and threw.

The church’s potion was a thing one cannot buy just because having a lot of money.

“Crazy! Why giving mine!”

“Because we are one body.”

“What dog-like······.”

Pumpkin’s face fully furrowed.

First stepped forward one step and stared at Galahad. Burdensome heat was full in those eyes.

“Galahad, tense. Because the next bet I will win.”

“Next bet?”

“Since you erected a magic tower, I will erect a magic sword tower. Whose tower of the two is high—.”

“Ah! A bit! Sorry.”

Pumpkin dragged First and went out.

“No, then marry.”

“What crazy sound is that!”

The two were noisy until the moment going out.

The closed door soon opened again.

“It is recovery time! Come!”

Gwen appeared confidently.

Originally Gwen was a crying face. Cried at the drop of a hat, and always crouched. Although a little less recently, still timid and dejected.

Such Gwen was confident now. Confidence was full on the face.

“Come come! It is mana recovery time! Mana recovery! Gwen came!”

Because found the specialty. After recovering Galahad confidence was full on Gwen’s face.

Now to the extent of boldly looking even at Galahad’s gaze.

“······It is recovery time.”

Although anyway about 2 seconds. Considering avoiding just meeting eyes it was rapid progress.

“I will ask a bit.”

“Yes! Believe only me! Ate a lot today!”

Gwen who put spirit forcefully stood beside Galahad.

Adrianne stepped back one more step. Those eyebrows went down more.

“Tried. If doing while reciting a spell it becomes better!”

“Spell?”

“Become healthy—. become healthy—.”

“That is not a spell.”

“······Really?”

“No, thinking about it there would be an effect. Ask, Gwen.”

“Right?! Become healthy—. become healthy—.”

Galahad tightly held what wanting to point.

At some point Adrianne had gone up to beside the door.

At Adrianne’s fully gone down eyebrows Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

“Health! Health! Geoeon! Gaang!”

****

Tom was certain the core of the Special Mission Unit is Galahad. If not Galahad, the Special Mission Unit would disband right away.

Galahad was one who does not even flinch one eye even in front of the demon race. At that confidence Tom unconsciously thought Galahad is invincible.

Such Galahad unable to even control his own body, and even vomiting blood from the mouth was a considerable shock.

To the extent Gilbert tightly closed his mouth and just stood guard outside.

Tom requested additional Special Mission Unit budget above, and obtained a lot of things good for recovery. Boiled stew with that.

There turned attention so Gwen cannot clean, and blocked Damien aiming at Galahad’s gold rod. Often also took care of warm alcohol to Gilbert.

Taking care of the Special Mission Unit degree was now daily to Tom so not that difficult.

The problem was the figures who came looking for Galahad.

5th Battalion Captain, 7th Battalion Captain, even the 2nd Battalion—. the captains continuously came looking for Galahad.

A captain was an existence the terminal soldier Tom hard to even look at.

Such captains continuously visiting was amazing, and on the other hand proud for nothing.

Among them the best—.

Was Adrianne who continuously quietly guards the door.

Adrianne tried to help Galahad, but that skill was a mess.

It was not that congenitally no talent like Gwen. Just because first looking after others.

It was a natural matter. Because the most noble Adrianne in the North.

Adrianne was gradually pushed, and soon tightly stuck beside the door and was quietly there.

After that Adrianne observed Tom. If Tom boils stew came beside and seriously looked.

The observation of the North’s hero Adrianne was a quite burdensome matter to ordinary Tom.

Seemed one has to do something. However, the opponent was Adrianne. Could not say daring informing something to that Adrianne.

Yet also not a matter of being able to ignore Adrianne’s gaze.

Soon Tom—.

“When stirring stew one has to stir slowly in a constant direction, then it does not stick!”

Started awkward monologue. Adrianne softly nodded. Softly muttered as if will remember.

From then it was the start.

“When doing broom work one has to slightly tilt then dust gathers better. And after cleaning ends one has to shake outside.”

Although a question why having to inform broom work to the North’s hero Adrianne, what to do.

That Adrianne seriously listens—.

Cold sweat was full on Tom’s back. Tom desperately hid the tension and continued the bizarre monologue.

It was cruising in its own way.

Then, Gilbert entered.

“Still lying?”

“Don’t know if looking. Sir Gilbert-like.”

“No, because seemed guys looking for the captain brought. Come in!”

Gilbert shouted outside. A gloomily looking man and woman entered.

“Gloomy and skinny dry, just looking seemed would look for the captain.”

“Although the basis is somewhat strange, it is the correct answer. Sir Gilbert, quite.”

The two gloomy man and woman deeply bowed their heads.

‘Black Magic Society?’

Tom softly muttered.

“Will everyone move the seat a bit? Ah, Sir Gilbert stays.”

At Galahad’s polite request the remaining ones came outside.

Although Adrianne was still expressionless, Tom swallowed dry saliva for nothing.

‘Lost to Gilbert—.’

That was a fatal injury.

Adrianne’s lips softly furrowed.

Tom who saw that felt full alertness. Somehow had to find what Adrianne can do.

Then, the staff at the waist was seen. It was a magic tool used when cooking, or lighting fire.

Now Galahad cannot use magic, so one could help in the way of attaching fire to the cigarette.

However—.

‘Even so Lady Adrianne, attaching fire to the cigarette—.’

Pondered for a moment and once opened his mouth.

“By any chance can I ask this a bit? Because Captain Galahad cannot light fire.”

Even so attaching fire to the cigarette—. Tom regretted late.

“Thank you.”

Adrianne’s face brightened without end.

At Adrianne carefully taking care of the staff Tom softly relieved.

Then suddenly worried whether others would see Adrianne attaching fire to Galahad’s cigarette but—.

‘Would do if only not in front of His Highness the Grand Duke.’

Tom nodded.

****

Galahad read the paper held in the hand. It was a report the guys who put research in the Black Magic Society 5th Battalion branch brought.

There research regarding the demon race’s blood and human blood was written.

Although that bundle was thick, the core was one.

‘There is also mana in a mage’s blood—.’

To obtain this one had to research human blood.

“Researched humans?”

The guys simultaneously shook their heads. Although more haggard and hollow than when seen before, the eyes were clearer. Madness overflowed.

It was mage-like eyes.

“Did directly.”

“Directly?”

“Yes, at that time didn’t you say. Directly doing on one’s own body is faster.”

There was a large scar on the guy’s forearm. It meant drew one’s own blood and researched.

“Excellent. Is it that mana is contained in a mage’s blood?”

“Yes, found out comparing with the demon race’s blood.”

According to the report, mana is also contained in a mage’s blood. Just hard to notice because that amount is small—.

At that result Galahad let out a groan.

In other words—.

“The difference between a mage and a demon race is only the mana density in the blood.”

“Yes, correct. As the mana density rises the taste and smell become terrible. Exactly like rotting.”

It was by no means a light conversation.

Because it meant a mage has no difference from a demon race.

However, Galahad’s thought was a little different.

The fox mask was an existence that became a demon race from a mage. What the guy unfolded was not magic. Clearly authority.

Magic was the revised version of authority.

If the revised version of authority is magic, a mage···.

‘Is the revised version of a demon race.’

Galahad furrowed his eyes.

It was not conviction. Just a possibility.

However, somehow the taste in the mouth was thick.

Then—.

The door shattered without sound. It was not opened. It shattered. The door became powder. Cool alertness roughly rose.

Beyond the shattered door there was a high-rank magic beast.

The high-rank magic beast stared at Galahad.

At that Galahad—.

“Adrianne!!”

Quickly shouted.
