361 352. To do something, you have to start something (1/2)
The time limit is 120 hours.
After that, every minute and second that passes, Suela's life will continue to be in danger.
No, she is still being exposed.
That's the only time that can save Suela.
The time limit for a doctor to safely treat her was also the time limit for me and Suela's child.
.........
That time had passed and the time remaining was less than forty-eight hours.
Three days had been used up, and in that time the result was zero.
I've read dozens, hundreds, thousands of books.
I've read more words in the blink of an eye than I've ever read in my life, probably more than I've ever read in my life.
A library named The Philosopher's Knowledge in Amelia.
The book itself is a substitute for the concept of knowledge embodied in the object of a book.
Compared to an ordinary book, it is just as strong as paper and iron.
That's why there's no danger of it tearing even if you turn the pages while benefiting from the acceleration of the time-space spirit Varus.
It's not dignified to bear the name of space-time, but time in my experience accelerates and my body gathers knowledge at an alarming rate.
.........
Flipping through it, Amelia said that my vision was following the letters at a speed reading level, but from the outside it looked like she was sorting through the books at a rate that would leave even an afterimage.
That momentum is slowing down.
It's time, contractor.
”......... I see.
”Jiro.
The sensations visibly slowed down and my body became unusually heavy in reaction.
I was confused and anxious at first, but after doing it over and over again, the cycle was established and I wasn't confused.
”Amelia, please.
”Yes.
So I suppressed my impatience and just asked Amelia to make the next move in a nonchalant manner.
Jiro-san.
”Sorry Memoria
Led by Amelia's listless voice, I emerged from the wise man's library and was greeted by Memoria, who was reading a book.
She noticed that we were back and quickly put the book down and came to my side.
”This way,
Oh, and wake me up in two hours.
”Yes.
That was the only conversation we had.
There were reports that the first day didn't go well, and what direction to try next, but as time went on, coupled with impatience, our conversations decreased as we tried to cut down on time.
It's not good, I know that.
But Memoria and I both knew that and settled on this stance.
There is a lounge area in the corner of the party room.
”You too, Amelia.
”Thank you!
Then Amelia and I gulp down the magic potion offered by Memoria.
The taste of the energy drink with a slight bitterness spreads in my mouth and I feel a sickening sensation in the pit of my stomach.
Your face contorts slightly and you accept the next magic potion offered to you.
One bottle is enough for Amelia, but I have to drink more than a dozen at a time.
It's a pretty uncomfortable situation, but that's how much you need to summon Valus to the wise men's library in a row, and there's no other way to recover in one fell swoop.
''
No matter how much your body is enhanced with magic crests, it does not support gluttony.
Even if you're magically filled, the feeling that you've had too much to drink is irritating.
Forcing down the nausea, you slowly lay down next to where Memoria was reading a book.
'Good work, now get some rest.
Thank you.
I forced down my impatience at being held gently by your hand, and I closed my eyelids, relieved to see that I could hold back the fear that time was ticking away.
If my body doesn't recover in two hours, it will be difficult to use up the next twenty-two hours to the fullest.
At the very least, your body is fatigued by Mr. Vals' continuous time acceleration.
If I hadn't rested, I'd have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
I wished I had the space that Mr. Vals had given me then, but there was nothing there to begin with.
I heard that it could be deployed, but that would destroy Amelia's spirit and do terrible damage.
If that happened, the wise men's library would also disappear.
I can't do that, doubly so.
Then I'll have to do it.
”.........
Feeling the slight coldness in your right hand, you try to sleep, feeling the presence of Memoria, which is definitely there, but you can't fall asleep right away.
You relax your eyes and surrender to the cot you're lying on.
But your mind reflexively thinks of ways to help Suela.
Baby Drain.
The principle is that when the child has grown to some extent and begins to stabilize his or her body, the child craves magic power in addition to nutrition.
It occurs at the moment when magical appropriateness is established.
It is said that the child can only receive magic from the mother via the umbilical cord, so depending on the mother's magic level, both mother and child may be in danger.
The current state of Suela is in danger because she has the high magic aptitude of the twins in her body.
.........
Theoretically, let's say there is a tank that contains one water.
That tank is Suela and the hose that feeds the water from outside is the magical crest.
The water is consumed in a magical way, but it recovers when it is watered.
Unlike us earthlings, Suela and her friends from other worlds are in danger of running out of magic power.
It is said that this is because magic element or magic power is the source of life.
It is speculated that we earthlings have evolved to live without magic.
A researcher from the demon king's army believed that the reason we and Kaido and the others have magical aptitude is a remnant of that.
Unused magical aptitudes deteriorate and are lost, and conversely, high aptitudes are created to adapt to the harsh environment because they cannot be used.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
.........
The more you think about it, the more drowsiness seems to fade away, but unfortunately, your strengthened body will recover to some extent if you rest like this.
The recovery potion I drank after the magic potion also helps to recover my physical fatigue.
So I'll continue to think.
Suela's situation is that there is another hose attached to the water tank, with a branch at the end of it.
That hose is bigger and has a higher flow rate than the supplied hose.
And there is no other way to supply it.
Naturally, in such an environment, the water bottoms out and when it is replenished, it is all sucked up by the hose.
To improve this environment, there is a simple possible way to increase the magic power that can be supplied to Suela.
