THE MAGICIAN WHO PICKED IT UP||
(Chapter 4)
At a constant pace, the food disappears into your mouth. More than half of the many dishes lined up are already empty.
The chef, who saw a magician who couldn't move himself, prepared a large amount of food. It seems that he's in this situation fairly often, and all the servants of the mansion seem to be accustomed to it.
Ruela did not hesitate to observe the magician who was just eating.
Tall and thin.
The habitual black hair is dull, probably because it has been washed, and the face is squeezed and a bear is slightly formed under the eyes. She should be in good condition with proper care, but that's unlikely at all.
The appearance of eating with all one's heart is very fresh.
In the first place, I didn't know that men eat so vigorously. He sometimes eats with his family, but he is the type who drinks more and more alcohol than his father and brother eat, and I haven't seen him eating much. He sometimes ate with his fiancée, the prince, but he didn't eat much because of the entertainment.
"...Does it taste good?"
"Oh"
"If you don't have enough, should I prepare a little more?"
"No, no more."
Flattening the last plate, he elegantly wiped his mouth. With that as a signal, the servant cleaned up the table and prepared tea. Lifting the cup and enjoying tea gracefully. I heard he was a contracted wizard, but as long as he sees his actions, he's probably a nobleman. The ingrained manners come out unknowingly.
"I was saved. I wonder if I will die as it is ... Thank you."
"I heard that you are a magician who has a contract with us, but why did you fall on the road?"
"Oh, oh. I did a little experiment and got sick."
I tilt my head when I hear that it is an experiment. I don't know what kind of contract I have, but I wonder if there are any experiments.
"The experiment was asked by the Marquis of Nesbitt. It's an esoteric technique with a 20% success rate."
"Well, mom, are you asking for such a difficult thing?"
"That's my job. I feel like I've tried it this time and understood it. Next time, I won't make such a mistake."
I'm confident that I've grabbed something. I'm going to make a howl that I don't understand.
With such a rude impression, I drank tea silently.
"By the way, can I ask you for your name?"
"Oh, yeah. I forgot. I'm Luera, the daughter of Marquis Nesbitt. Nice to meet you."
"Miss Luera? I'm Ulysses Burnett."
"Burnet?"
I know the house with that name. Surprisingly, Ulysses gave up her shoulders when she opened her eyes.
"As you might expect, I'm from the Duke's family in the neighboring country."
"Wait a minute. Why would such a person be at home?"
"When I failed the experiment and died, I was picked up by the Marquis Nesbitt."
"I was picked up ... maybe I didn't have to sign a contract with my house?"
In Luera's doubts, Ulysses shook his head from side to side.
"The contract was made with the consideration of the Marquis. To hide in this country, it is better to be hired as a magician."
"oh dear"
Although it was fragmentary information, I somehow understood the position of Ulysses. I shook his head because I didn't know if it was okay to put it into words.
"To give a bland explanation, I'm a normal child, I have a half-brother, and I'm more of a magician."
"I guess. You don't have to say any more."
I was told that I was in a troublesome position, and I held my head. She doesn't know what Ramona thought and she put Ulysses into the house. She just decided not to ask her more than she needed.
Here is a magician hired by the Marquis of Nesbitt.
That's fine.
"... Mother, do you say unreasonable?"
"That's right. I'm feeling a lot, but it's also fresh."
Ruela laughed at Ulysses, who laughed with satisfaction.
"by the way"
Ulysses changed the story if he was drinking tea quietly.
"What is it?"
"I have been asked by the Marquis for treatment, but is it Miss Luera?"Ruela opened her eyes astonishingly. Ulysses stares at Ruela in a serious manner. Her eyes are more like observing the subject of research than the eyes of the opposite sex with a fever. She was kind of restless and she just relaxed.
"If my mom asked, I think it's me."
"I'm not officially a healer, but I'm good at healing magic, at least better than the Marquis."
Ruela laughed at Ulysses, who made a clear statement.
"Fufu, I said every day that I'm certainly not very good at it."
"Yes. I think the Marquis is a very good wizard, but she's sloppy. You may be able to use healing magic, but it's not delicate."
"I'm going to get angry when my mom hears it."
Ulysses cut out to Ruela, who was laughing and smirking.
"I've heard that you've been poisoned, but I haven't heard of any symptoms yet ..."
"My limbs are numb and I can't move well. I can't stand alone, but I've managed to eat."
"Numbness in the limbs? What about the fever?"
"I don't have much heat right now."
Ulysses crosses his arms and thinks about something. Ruela was vaguely admired by her serious expression.
"I want to find out a little. May I have my hand put on it?"
"Of course"
He calmed down his noisy feelings and gently put his hands on his outstretched hand. It is grasped with a weak force, and at the same time, warm magical power flows from the palm of his hand.
It was my first time to receive the magical power of a stranger, and the difference shook my body. I'm not feeling sick or feeling sick. However, it makes me feel weird as if I was directly touched by my nerves.
"Chasing power"
"how can I do?"
"... Do you understand my magical power?"
"somehow"
Nodding a little, he re-held his hand firmly.
"I'll let it flow a little stronger, so chase it."
Although I'm not sure, I just turn my attention to the flow while being aware of the heat from the palm of my hand.
I don't know how long I was doing that, but it wasn't too short.
Suddenly, I didn't feel his magical power. If you open his eyes, you can see the face of the man in front of him. The man's eyes were smoldering.
"It looks like you've been swallowed by a lot of poor quality poison. There's a bunch of magical power here and there, which creates scars and inflammation in your body."
"Do you understand that?"
"If you follow it with magical power operation, you will understand."
But that's something that a normal magician can't do.
"Will it be cured if the mass of magical power disappears?"
"Oh"
"very?"
I look suspicious and anxious. He smiled to reassure her.
"I know I can't believe it, but I've treated this symptom."
It was the most hopeful word since I was poisoned.
