Seizure and Search
‘Clear quite well solved.’
The Grand Duke’s weaknesses were ‘Adrianne’ and ‘hunting’. Galahad attacked the two in turn.
Thanks to that the atmosphere was quite good. To the extent the Grand Duke laughing out loud.
The problem was the next.
As Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth, Adrianne attached fire.
Regrettably it was not an appearance good to show to the Grand Duke.
‘The axe that fast.’
The Grand Duke’s axe cut in front of Galahad, yet fast to the extent of believing even if saying space magic.
The axe accurately made only the cigarette held in Galahad’s mouth into powder. Alertness rose late.
As Adrianne scolded, the Grand Duke left the seat as if running away. As Adrianne followed that the situation ended.
“Was there some matter?”
“No particular matter.”
At Gilbert’s question Galahad clicked his tongue and newly took out the cigarette and put in his mouth.
And flicked his finger. Fire softly rose.
‘Roughly recovered.’
Although pain still remained, now gradually one could move mana.
It was thanks to Gwen. Gwen with a large mana barrel continuously stupidly poured mana, and thanks to that recovery was quite fast.
Already to the extent of being able to move mana.
“Heuheu, rumors about the captain are rampant.”
“My rumors?”
“Yes, at the story of the captain catching a high-rank demon race a big fuss arose.”
Gilbert said while raising and lowering his eyebrows. An excited look was full. Galahad softly nodded.
“I see.”
“······The reaction is lukewarm?”
Gilbert made a sealreuk expression. At that Galahad deeply drank the cigarette.
“I am an awl in the pocket. Not optimistic to the extent of being happy at such an obvious matter. Along with that also knowing that if the awl is revealed, it becomes quite annoying.”
Gilbert opened the already narrow eyes more narrowly. It was a face like an ugly desert fox.
“What are you saying?”
“It is an obvious matter to me.”
Galahad answered while neatly passing the bangs back.
“Wa— unlucky.”
“Sir Gilbert, said outside.”
“This···. Mistake.”
Galahad laughed with a keul keul and recalled the report.
‘There is also mana in a mage’s blood.’
It was a topic Galahad deeply fell into.
Mana is stored around the heart. Actually even when using magic compressed or moved mana around the heart.
Yet a mage there was mana in that blood. If there is also mana in a mage’s blood—.
‘The difference between a demon race and a mage?’
Simply only the difference of the mana density contained in the blood? If so—.
‘What taste is my blood.’
It was Galahad who harbors the pill of pain, and continuously drank the demon race’s blood without rest. There was no choice but to be that difference.
“Will you give a knife a bit?”
“······Yes? It was a joke.”
“Quickly.”
Gilbert answered while being startled. At Galahad’s urging Gilbert opened his eyes narrowly and held out the sword.
Galahad received the sword and turned with a binggeul—.
“A good sword.”
“Handle gently. Gently.”
“You, because a lover? This. This friend says likes me more—.”
“Damien, damn kid.”
Galahad laughed with a keul keul and swung the sword. A long wound neatly took place on Galahad’s forearm.
“What are you doing!”
“There is something to confirm. Come, receive the lover here.”
Even at the joke Gilbert’s face did not loosen. Galahad brought the forearm to the mouth. And seriously tasted.
That taste—.
‘Not particularly.’
Galahad’s eyes narrowed.
Although the density thicker than the guys’ report, yet not high either.
If accumulating by simply using magic, it should be thicker.
‘Is it the pill of pain.’
Most of the mana Galahad uses comes from the pill of pain. The possibility of the pill of pain being the cause was large.
‘Containing mana in the blood.’
Mana was formless. Containing formless in form blood was impossible.
Not for nothing mana stones are expensive. Calling a substance harboring mana was the value.
For that first one had to know the difference between the demon race’s blood and human blood.
The clue was already with Galahad.
‘The magic circle the First Mage left.’
Galahad looked down at the wrist. A magic circle was largely drawn.
It was revising and newly engraving the magic circle the First Mage left. This magic circle used vitality to compress mana.
Thanks to that one could know that what the pill of pain hid from the demon race’s blood was vitality.
At that time not particularly relevant. What Galahad needed was high density mana, not vitality.
‘Now is different. If the guy aimed at vitality there would be that reason.’
For example—.
‘If vitality made high density mana be contained in the blood?’
It was a quite plausible assumption.
Now what to research was the vitality contained in the demon race’s blood.
And that vitality—.
‘Is here.’
Galahad looked down. The pill of pain was still quiet.
It was a state of not yet coming to senses from being severely hit by Adrianne.
‘Just appropriate.’
Galahad shook the wrist. It was a magic circle improved so as to bring vitality from the pill of pain. Now that the pill of pain lost consciousness was the opportunity.
‘Although a bit reckless.’
Although not that Galahad’s state perfectly recovered, moving mana degree was possible.
“By any chance if showing abnormality, call Gwen a bit.”
“···Yes? Didn’t faint and just wake up. Doing something again?”
“A mage uses magic if opening the eyes.”
“No—.”
Galahad ignored Gilbert’s question and moved mana. Although a tingling pain rose, it was bearable.
The magic circle on the wrist spewed intense light. The magic circle forcibly tapped the pill of pain.
If usual would have resisted, but now the pill of pain had no consciousness.
As the pill of pain opened, vitality fully spewed. The magic circle greedily pulled vitality.
‘Oh, this is again a feeling different from mana.’
Vitality ran wild exactly as if alive. Galahad’s body roughly shook.
“Are you fine?! No, why alone again—. Gwen!”
Galahad desperately maintained concentration.
‘Containing mana in the blood.’
Concentrated on mana compression. At the weight the heart creaked—. without caring pressed mana stronger. Compressed the possessed mana to the maximum. Slowly pushed mana.
From here it was not the area of calculation. Just thinking of pushing mana, and watching the reaction. It was close to an experiment.
Vitality and mana met around the heart.
Thump!
The heart largely beat. It was not the pill of pain. It was Galahad’s intact heart.
The compressed mana and the mixed vitality—.
‘Mixed into the blood.’
It was the correct answer.
The corners of Galahad’s mouth fully rose.
‘To think really vitality.’
It was the feeling of vitality raising the solubility of the blood. Thick density mana mixed into the blood with vitality as a medium.
Although the heart fully became tight—.
‘If the pill of pain wakes it would be annoying.’
Now that the pill of pain fainted was the opportunity. Galahad put more mana into the magic circle without hesitation.
The magic circle intensely shone. The magic circle pressed the pill of pain, and roughly took out vitality.
It was full in a very deep place inside.
‘Hid a lot.’
It was seizure and search.
****
The Grand Duke quietly looked at Adrianne.
Looking at Adrianne was a hard matter for the Grand Duke. Because Adrianne resembled her too much.
Because that was pain one cannot adapt to, the Grand Duke had no choice but to turn the gaze.
The Grand Duke could not see the gone down Adrianne’s eyebrows.
“Will you do the engagement.”
The Grand Duke said as softly as possible. Adrianne softly flinched.
“It is your choice.”
Adrianne raised her head.
“If disliking the guy, refuse.”
“Then the empire—.”
“Do I seem one who fears the empire?”
At the Grand Duke’s question mixed with laughter Adrianne’s eyebrows shook.
“Not that I fear the empire.”
The Grand Duke slowly shook his head.
“It is the empire that fears me.”
The corners of the Grand Duke’s mouth savagely rose.
“Yes, I know.”
Adrianne seriously nodded.
“However, maintaining relations with the empire is good. Because the North is also overwhelmed with the demon race.”
At Adrianne’s answer the Grand Duke’s eyebrows furrowed.
“If such a North that collapses, I will pull the head.”
“No. How if His Highness the Grand Duke says such sounds.”
Nagging increased. Clear resembled one’s mother. The Grand Duke clicked his tongue softly.
“So is it that will do?”
“Anyway thinking about the relations with the empire, up to the engagement ceremony······.”
Adrianne’s voice became small. The Grand Duke furrowed his eyebrows.
“Making excuses unlike you.”
“······!”
Adrianne flinched. The Grand Duke’s mood was not good for nothing.
[Father-in-law—.]
Because the slippery guy rose. Although arrogance piercing the sky, and acting up quite not to the liking but—.
‘That is the same for other guys too.’
Because Adrianne’s opponent, there was no way anyone would catch the eye.
Still if having to pick one among them—.
“At least the guy is better.”
The Grand Duke thickly said. The neck was rough as if swallowed a sword.
Adrianne’s eyes became large. The Grand Duke slightly turned the gaze.
Although a bit complicated woman relations is a problem but—.
‘That one can clean.’
The Grand Duke’s eyes fiercely undulated.
When Adrianne’s mouth slowly tried to open—.
“Lady Adrianne!!”
Gilbert’s urgent voice was heard from far. Adrianne hurriedly ran. The Grand Duke did not like that fast reaction.
The Grand Duke clicked his tongue and followed Adrianne.
Galahad was quietly sitting on the bed. That body fully trembled, and blood continuously rippled from the mouth. The state was not good.
“Was there even a demon race raid?”
“No, the captain opened the eyes and said there is something to try—.”
“Is it that did alone?”
At Gilbert reluctantly nodding Adrianne’s expression became subtle.
It was a guy who cannot even come out of the bed. Doing so the moment opening the eyes with such a body—.
‘Properly a crazy guy.’
The Grand Duke laughed with a heo heo.
Could understand. Because the Grand Duke also when deeply fallen into the axe, swung the axe even if the shoulder dislocated.
Truly the path was on a thorny path.
‘A man should be so.’
The Grand Duke’s eyes deepened.
“How a bit—.”
“Leave still.”
At the Grand Duke’s order everyone quieted. At Adrianne’s axe eyes looking at himself the Grand Duke felt a subtle mood.
Then, the guy opened his eyes with a flash. A moment light undulated in the eyes. The Grand Duke clenched his hand without knowing.
Because some unpleasant feeling came from the guy—.
That the guy is placing something around the heart degree the Grand Duke already knew.
The Grand Duke did not judge a person externally. Because the guy’s actions were for the North, just did not make that a problem.
Yet now blew a different atmosphere.
Although similar to a demon race—.
‘Not a demon race.’
The Grand Duke’s eyes narrowed.
Then, the guy widely laughed.
Immediately vomited blood and collapsed.
At the guy brightly laughing until the moment of fainting—.
‘The competitor was not a woman.’
The Grand Duke clicked his tongue.
Magic one cannot even pull the head—.
****
‘Done.’
Galahad looked down at his hand and raised the corners of his mouth.
One could instinctively feel that the blood’s mana density thickened. Strength overflowed.
‘The answer was vitality.’
“Why laughing.”
A cool voice was heard. At that turning the head Adrianne was there. It was axe eyes.
‘Why axe eyes?’
Galahad seriously pondered. There was no particular mistake.
“Although the body state is not good, was there a need to do reckless?”
At the unexpected scolding Galahad furrowed his eyes. Soon recalled that Adrianne is feeling guilt at Galahad’s injury.
“It was not reckless. Degree a little dangerous. And that enough because Gwen is there.”
“Yes! I am there!”
“Gwen, saliva flying so speak quietly.”
Gwen hurriedly tightly closed her mouth. The jaw that fully rose while treating Galahad for the past few days went down.
Adrianne was still axe eyes.
“Not to the degree of worrying.”
“While vomiting blood from the mouth, fainted.”
At Adrianne’s honest pointing Galahad softly coughed.
“Seems too impatient.”
Adrianne seriously said. Impatient—. Galahad’s eyes fully furrowed.
“Not impatient. Just hurrying.”
Galahad twisted the corners of his mouth.
Adrianne’s axe eyes did not loosen.
“Although recovery not completely finished yet, alone doing magic training and vomiting blood and fainting is, reckless is correct.”
Again orthodoxy.
When the pill of pain fainted and there is no mind, one had to proceed to certainly bring vitality. Because of that a situation of no choice but to proceed a little reckless.
‘Reckless is correct.’
Galahad obediently nodded.
“Understood. Will be careful from now.”
“Yes.”
Adrianne stepped back one step. The axe eyes soon loosened.
“Is the body fine?”
“Thanks to Gwen.”
A moment of silence continued.
“Health—.”
Gwen hummed a nasal song and pounded the back again.
Galahad quietly looked down at his own hand. The mana density thickened.
There is mana contained in a mage’s blood. There is also mana contained in a demon race’s blood.
The difference between the two was the mana density and vitality.
Yet if Galahad’s mana density thickens to a similar degree to a demon race—.
‘Am I a demon race. A human.’
From the beginning what is a demon race. And what is a human—.
Galahad who pondered for a moment twisted the corners of his mouth.
‘This one has to try to know.’
Truly interesting.
Then, Adrianne quietly standing was seen. Although the usual expressionless, somehow moved.
“The bathroom is that side.”
“······Yes?”
“It is a joke. Is there some words to say?”
“Ah, yes.”
Adrianne nodded. The eyebrows stiffened.
‘Tensed.’
Adrianne’s breath sound became a little irregular. That shoulder stiffened more than usual. The posture slightly contracted.
‘Trying to say what story.’
Galahad waited for Adrianne without urging.
Adrianne who largely exhaled breath for a moment opened her lips.
“I will do the engagement ceremony.”
Adrianne said in a resolute voice.
Seeing the eyebrows fully stiffened, it seemed quite serious. Galahad furrowed his eyes.
“Seems sent all even the invitation, was thinking of not doing?”
“······Yes?”
Adrianne became rabbit eyes.
“It is a joke. Thought well. It will be a very amazing engagement ceremony. Said lilies are good for flowers?”
Adrianne who moved her mouth with a beonggeot largely nodded.
Galahad furrowed his eyes for nothing. Habitually looked for the cigarette and put in his mouth.
Trying to flick his finger, flinching Adrianne was seen. Why again—.
A staff was held in Adrianne’s hand.
‘Hmm···.’
Galahad confirmed the Grand Duke went and opened his mouth.
“Will you help this a bit?”
“Yes. I will do.”
Adrianne’s eyebrows rose.
Why liking attaching fire to the cigarette—.
‘Peculiar taste.’
At Adrianne of a proud face Galahad clicked his tongue and deeply sucked the cigarette.
Then, the pill of pain slowly jumped. That beat was weaker than before. Thump? the pill of pain rippled. Continuously moved as if looking for something.
“Huh? What? None? Says none!”
It was clear talking about the vitality Galahad took.
“Hid very tightly. Tell used well.”
“Says used well!”
Gwen tilted her head. Soon fluster rose on Gwen’s face.
“······This seems crying?”
Gwen said while pointing at Galahad’s chest.
“Crying? What?”
Gwen briefly tidied the neck.
And—.
“Kkeueeeeeeng—.”
Made a bizarre crying sound.
‘A sound a beaver whose house collapsed would make.’
The pill of pain continuously pressed the heart with a kkuk kkuk. Exactly as if stop the joke and give.
‘Already all used though.’
Kkeueeeeeng—.
