Chapter 820 – Ep.818 Demon Continent
“You made it sound like you were coming late.”
She lightly greeted the demons who were roaming around freely and as soon as she entered the bedroom, Genoa, who was studying as her twin’s teacher, was the first to turn his head and react.
“I will be leaving again in the evening or tomorrow.”
“… “What are you so busy about?”
“I’ll tell you later, so just focus on what you’re doing. Are you going to take the test later?”
“Si, isn’t this a bit of a test?!”
“Anyway, you’re going to see it, so work hard.”
When I narrowed my eyes slightly, Toriel, who had been trying to talk to me while subtly looking for an opportunity, pricked up her ears and lowered her head to her notebook.
“Excuse me.”
I was about to go into the bathhouse for a moment to chat with Mariel, but when I heard Giselle calling from behind, I stopped and turned around again.
“I am also fully familiar with the official language.”
Giselle blinks her characteristic round eyes.
She is certainly an excellent wizard and her thirst for knowledge is considerable, so it may be natural for her to learn the common language of the continent.
“Then. What did Giselle have that her twin lacked? Could you teach me just that much from her side? After that, she is free to do whatever she wants.”
“Is one hour a day enough? “There is no designated time?”
“Yes. However, if possible, I would like to schedule it at a time that is convenient for the twins.”
“All right.”
Her crimson eyes briefly glanced at the cushions, but she quickly looked away from me.
Next, Genoa’s muttering sounds were heard, but she neatly ignored them and entered her bath, leaving behind her clothes and cushions.
“Please keep an eye on me so they don’t come near me until I leave.”
[ Yes. ]
Rita, who had followed in to serve as if it were a matter of course, quietly walked away with a slightly disappointed look.
“It’s a bathhouse, so it’s not a bad choice.”
“Hmm.”
She sensed Rita’s presence behind her door, so she quietly nodded and took a dip in her bath. Of course, she did not forget to support Mariel’s head and the back of her neck by lying her down so that she could look up at the ceiling so that her head would not sink.
“Is it glass? It’s quite charming, yes. “The water temperature is just right.”
The corners of her mouth rose slightly as if she was satisfied.
“… Mariel.”
“Say it. No, more than that, why did you lower your voice so much?”
“… “You might be able to hear it.”
It would seem to Rita and the others that she went in alone, but how strange would it look if she suddenly started talking to someone?
However, Mariel responded by looking at my caution with a pitiful gaze.
“This guy who knows how to use the power of God can’t block a single sound… Tsk tsk, I can’t believe it when I see it.”
Her self-esteem, which had been heavily recharged to stand up to Ellis, was eroded in real time in those few short hours with Marie Elle.
“Done. I will take care of that part on my own, so feel free to tell me. Why is something so big like a bear whispering like a girl? “I feel bad.”
“… “Then I will speak in peace.”
“Okay. “This time, I want you to stop going around in circles and get to the point.”
Even if it’s only for a moment, I should pretend it was a mistake and just drop her mouth into the water… I thought about this.
Of course, even if I didn’t try, I would never take action because it was obvious that I would be underwater deep in the future.
“I hope you can help me train a little.”
“It’s a simple task if you’re putting together a training manual.”
“… Please note that it is not physical training, but mental training.”
“You idiot!!”
Mariel’s voice echoed in her bath like an echo in a cave.
“There were some idiots who talked about the body being a shell, but I guess you’re not one of them, are you?”
“Uh, I don’t think so… ?”
She had never thought about it that way, so she wasn’t lying.
“The body is a vessel that contains the soul. Now, think about it. It is natural that the larger and sturdier the vessel, the more and heavier things it can hold. So what if, on the other hand, the bowl is small?”
“… The contents will spill or break, right?”
“It’s just as you said. In other words, contents that do not fit into the bowl will eventually destroy it. Therefore, it may overflow, but at least it does not break, and it is essential to train the body in order to become strong.”
“…”
A strong mind resides in a strong body.
This was a phrase that was commonly used on Earth, so I was familiar with it.
And there was no reason not to accept it.
But even though I knew it was a completely inappropriate question for this situation, I was raising my hand and asking to be heard.
“What.”
“Therefore… “You’re saying that you definitely need to train your body to become stronger, right?”
“Okay.”
“Then… “What happens to the strength of wizards?”
“Tsk tsk.”
I don’t know how many times I’m seeing her today, but I sniffle at her bewildered gaze.
“You seem to think that physical training is just about building muscles in an ignorant way.”
“…”
They say that if you stay quiet, you’re halfway there… I don’t feel like I’ve come too far to do anything, but I’ve decided to keep my mouth shut and listen.
“What I think of is just ‘exercise’ to increase body size and strength, not training. “True tempering is tempering through constant pain.”
If that was true, I couldn’t understand it even more.
How can wizards ever feel physical pain?
“… “These are the eyes that are thinking.”
“Do you know how to mind read?”
“If I knew how to do it, would I have asked you to make a fuss?”
“… “You won’t do it, right?”
“Well, your voice isn’t bad to listen to, so I might do it sometimes.”
She is a very self-indulgent woman who can really put people off.
“Roughly speaking, the pain you think is not pain, it is just pain. And wizards never feel physical pain? “That is truly prejudice and the narrow-minded thinking of knights who despise typical magic.”
The solemn expression and echoing voice made the atmosphere suddenly grand.
‘… Still, there’s something strangely cute about it.’
At first, I was a little reluctant to hear a beautiful woman with only her hair speak, but perhaps I got used to it, so the negative feelings completely disappeared. Plus, it felt good to have my cheeks soft and soft.
“Concentrate.”
“Greatness!! “I’m concentrating.”
Her eyes became dull, but she soon returned to her bored form and continued her speech.
“The wizards are a group of madmen who will do anything to reach the truth they seek.”
The wizards’ sudden declaration of madness.
“Those crazy people are so crazy and gloomy that they don’t want to leave the lab for a month or a year until they get the results I want and are satisfied with.”
Anyone who hears it has an attitude that seems to despise wizards.
“But if you think about it differently, the people who stay up all night for days to get the results I want and to prove my hypothesis are the wizards.”
As a human being, overcoming the need for sleep is much more difficult and difficult than you might think.
“However, in this case, strong mental strength to overcome the desire to sleep is essential. What… In the case of these guys, most of them are just idiots who are so crazy about their greed for knowledge that they can’t hear the screams of their bodies.”
Mariel snorted softly and looked up at me again.
“Of course, not all guys do such foolish things, but the ones who act arrogantly are all idiots like that.”
As a bonus, she added that she also played a part in having her teachers squeeze her magical power from her training period until she reached exhaustion.
“Anyway, that’s it.”
Honestly, I don’t know.
Of course, I didn’t know what kind of harsh words I would hear if I said that, so I didn’t say it directly.
“Then? In my case, I push my body to its limits anyway… Is it okay to think like that?”
“The limits I think of and the limits you think of may be different, but it’s not wrong.”
“But wouldn’t it have the opposite effect if you overdo it and hurt your body?”
“You idiot. “That’s the reaction experienced only by idiots who give up just before the limit.”
Well, I don’t know what it is, but I know for sure that he wants to kill me.
‘Why did the story turn out this way?’
I guess I was just trying to use her trait of rejecting divinity to increase her pain tolerance and boost her confidence again…
“Yeah, yeah… “I will try my best to do my best in the way you taught me.”
“No. Since I promised to help you, I have no intention of doing anything in vain.”
“No. “You have to preserve your strength as much as possible.”
“There is a living reserve right in front of me, so what?”
It was wrong. Her sparkling golden eyes were already filled with determination to supervise me.
“Oh yeah.”
How should she refuse this? As she was rolling her head as much as she could, she turned to me with clear eyes that she had never shown before.
“As I came, I saw that it was full of dolls. If you have an extra body, bring one.”
Licking my bright red lips once.
“I think I can be of more help to you in many ways.”
