Chapter 345 Father, Daughter, Protegee–Everyone’s feelings (1/2)
According to ‘analyze’, the curing medicine Eliza created had three times the effect compared to the normal one.
“With this amount, we could easily cure about a hundred people. Laojun, sorry for yelling at you without knowing before.”
[No. It was a failure on my part as well since I didn’t consider Ms. Eliza’s mana.]
Jin looked at the curing medicine again. There was about 5 litres of that colorless and transparent curing medicine. He divided it into small portions and put them in white mica ampoules.
It was at that moment.
[My lord, Ms. Reiko is having a hard time.]
Laojun’s voice echoed. Jin’s hands stopped.
“What do you mean?”
And asked for details.
[Yes. The mysterious man Raldus seems to be a demon as expected. Moreover, he can use gravitational magic.]
Laojun explained. Laojun also stated that he probably travelled through the great Shama wetlands because of that ability.
[….Now, several thousand G is on Ms. Reiko.”
“Several thousand?!”
Eliza, who was beside them, couldn’t really understand what was going on but since Jin could understand, he ended up imagining Reiko getting crushed.
“Well?! How is she now?!”
As he pressed Laojun for more details, Laojun just calmly continued.
[Ms. Reiko has released her full powers and is now resisting it…… She stood up…… She’s alright. Rather, the guy shouldn’t be able to maintain that magic for long.]
It seemed as if Laojun was giving advice to Reiko all the while explaining the situation to Jin. And then, finally, the equilibrium was broken.
[She destroyed the Elrad Light Raldus was holding.]
But just when they thought it would be Reiko’s one-sided victory from there on, two other demons appeared. However, these 2 do not seem to be aggressive as after they gave Reiko information about the ‘mana depletion fever’ this time, they picked up the unconscious Raldus and returned to the demons’ country.
[It is possible to chase Raldus’ mana…… However, it seems like one of the two new demons can use teleportation magic. They suddenly disappeared to a distant land.]
“Teleportation magic?”
As the warp gate also exists, it won’t be weird if there were magic which were similar to it.
“….And gravitation magic too, eh?”
It must have been a terrifying opponent to be able to make Reiko have trouble.
Jin just heartily felt glad that he made her body with magi adamantite. At the same time, he also decided to not let Reiko face anymore dangerous situation.
However, there were things needed to be done at the moment. Jin returned to his work once again.
And 20 minutes after that.
[My lord, Ms. Reiko has returned.]
“I see!”
Jin stopped making the ampoules. Reiko immediately came climbing the stairs.
“Father, I have returned.”
Jin welcomed her with both his hands.
“Welcome back, Reiko. You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”
Reiko nodded.
“No, thanks to this body you gave me, I was able to return unharmed.”
As Reiko replied, Jin hugged her and said,
“Good job.”
“…Father?”
“Reiko, I am glad you’re okay…… Really, from now on, I will never put you in any dan–”
But he was interrupted by Reiko.
“No, father. This might be presumptuous, but I will have to say it…… I will protect the things you want to protect. Your joy is my joy. Your sadness is my sadness. Your anger is my anger. And your happiness, is my happiness. I am your shadow. And a shadow always follows its master everywhere.”
As she finished saying, Jin hugged her even tightly and said,
“….Thank you, Reiko. If so, then I have only one thing to do. To make you so that you don’t get hurt or lose to anyone no matter what.”
Jin continued with a bitter smile,
“And, to turn you into a lady not inferior to any other girls.”
“Yes, I believe in you.”
Eliza, who was seeing such an exchange between the father and his daughter just muttered in a voice no one could hear.
“…..I’m jealous.”
＊ ＊ ＊
After calming down a bit, they heard the report about the ‘mana depletion fever’ from Reiko. Of course, Eliza was also there.
