Chapter 314 – This Use of Power (1)
In front of Berlioz’s room.
Bianca, who was walking around in front of him, let out a long sigh as if determined and knocked on the door.
Knock-knock-
“Master!”
“…”
People call me by writing ‘Nim’ at most, but there is no answer.
I wondered if it was there, but the faintly flowing mana told me that Berlioz was inside.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“What! I’m inside, but why is there no answer!! I’m in!”
“…!!…Uh…When did you come!…Well…Wait a minute!!”
As Bianca grabbed the handle, there was a crackling sound from inside, and a sweaty Berlioz emerged.
“…What. Why are you sweating so much? Did you train alone inside?”
“That…Yes…After…Training…No matter how much…You’ve seen…Sometimes…You have to…Relax your body…That’s why…Since dawn, what…What’s going on?”
“Dawn?…What are you talking about? It’s noon now?”
“…I…Daytime?!…Heh…Heh…I didn’t realize time was passing because I was immersed in training. You, too, must train with such concentration. So…So what’s going on?
At Berlioz’s question, Bianca knelt down and said,
Cooung-
“…Master. Disciple Bianca has something to say.”
“…Why is this all of a sudden? What did you eat wrong?”
I felt annoyed at Berlioz’s sincere concern, but I held it in.
“It can’t be… I’ve always known Master’s greatness… But I’m just expressing it now.”
“I can’t. It seems to be quite serious. She’ll get up as the main woman will take her to her infirmary.”
“Damn! It’s not like that…!!…No…No…Master…A disciple…I have a request for you.”
Her whole body seemed to shrivel from using the inappropriate tone of voice, but she endured it, thinking of the giant fuss.
“…Yes, tell me.”
“That… There’s someone Master wants you to meet.”
“Bonnyeo? Who is it?”
“…They say it’s a white cow from Aslan…”
“If it’s a white cow…? Are you referring to the child who was Asran’s ‘first disciple’?”
Apparently, he knows about white cows.
Well, since Berlioz also said he came from Aslan, it would be strange that he didn’t know.
“Yes that’s right. He said he wanted to learn it when he saw me writing the spirit…”
“Tsk, didn’t she tell me not to use it outside until she said she became the original daughter?”
“No… I also meant not to use it, but if I didn’t use it, he’d die… And that’s not important, so can you teach me a little bit?”
At Bianca’s words, Berlioz let out a deep sigh.
“…Still, you’re coming to see me. I wondered what would happen if you secretly taught me…”
“What kind of a bully am I!!… Not… Can I teach you anyway?”
At Bianca’s request, Berlioz touched his parched lips.
From now on, I thought that there would be no need to teach the people of the Aslan Empire the ‘God of the Spirit’ ever again.
But… I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but since it was Baek So-so’s request, I couldn’t easily refuse.
‘…Is this also destiny?’
Baek So-so was a child who was called the plague god of the family.
Of course, he overcame hardships with his natural talent and rose to the position of ‘first disciple’, but…
Still, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel guilty about Baek So-so.
But fear rises with the same weight as guilt.
To that extent, ‘human taxidermy’ was the worst incident that could be counted with one hand in the long years of Berlioz’s life.
After thinking for a while, Berlioz looked at Bianca.
“…?”
Bianca’s ‘religion’ and ‘will to kill’ are a combination of well-matched emotions, so they are handled without difficulty, but since Baek So-so is a child of the Baeksa family, it was clear that he was a ‘god of death’.
‘If only like that child…’
Although ‘love’ is the rarest feeling…
If Baek So-so is a combination of ‘reaper’ and ‘love’ like that child, will he be able to handle it this time?
Then Bianca clung to me with a snoring sound.
“…Master. Please… How dare you… Ha…! Ah! I can’t eat it!! I’ll tell you straight up! How not? If you don’t think it’s going to work out, it’s okay to just send it back, so just meet me once… Huh?”
“…”
“Huh? The one and only disciple is saying this, isn’t it? Huh? Huh? Please… Master!!”
Berlioz sighed at the cuteness that suited him better than he thought, probably because he was young.
“Yeah… Let’s catch me first.”
“Really?! I really want to meet you! Once you’ve said it, there’s no going back!”
“When did she see the original woman talking? She’s more than that, when she’ll call…”
As he spoke, Berlioz’s gaze suddenly turned to the right.
Another angle-
Then, a woman with a cool impression appeared in a brown bob cut wearing a long coat.
“Oh, you were out. I really do what Lucia-sama said. Nice to see you. Mr. Berlioz.”
“Who the hell are you?”
It was Bianca who answered Berlioz’s question.
“Don’t be so wary. It’s Marjan. Lucia and Eugene are subordinates. On our side.”
“Uh? Was Bianca there too? Hello.”
“Yes, bye. But what is that coat? Isn’t it too hot to wear already?”
“Ah…! This…This…That…That…Mo…I’m not feeling well…”
“Hmm… Yes! You should be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Yes.. Haha…Don’t worry…Thank you…”
After the greeting, Berlioz crossed his arms and asked.
“So, what did the subordinate of those children do to the original woman?”
“Ah, nothing else, Eugene-nim received Tristia-nim’s invitation, and it seems that Berlioz-nim was also invited to come along. I’m here to tell you.”
“…Why did you send it to Eugene’s baby instead of inviting her?”
“I’m good at that too… Maybe, maybe it’s because I don’t know the way?”
“…”
That’s right.
It’s been a while since I came to Lumenhark, but I don’t know the way out of Carnea because I don’t go out.
No, there was no money to ride a wagon in the first place.
Berlioz’s life was lived on the Carnea notes given to him by Loreos and the occasional allowance given by Eugene.
Of course, Eugene gave her pocket money to the extent that it wasn’t enough… But the gourmet food she couldn’t taste in Asran made her spend her pocket money in an instant.
“Huh..♥..G…Now… Uh!..Well…Then, the details are written in this letter… I…I’m going to leave now!”
“Okay. Go in.”
As Marjan returned with somewhat uneasy steps, Berlioz, who had read the letter, spoke.
“I asked to meet you as soon as possible, so I will go see you tomorrow. So I guess I’ll see Baek So-so later.”
“Eh… Why? Can’t we meet up for a while?”
“It is not that easy. Then she will go in and make some preparations.”
“…Okay. Should I meet you when I go instead?”
“Okay.”
After that, Berlioz closed the door and went inside…
Kiik-
Soon the door opened again and only her face peeked out.
“And… Never try to enter the original woman’s room without permission again.”
“What is it… They just told me to come in at any time…”
“Enough! If the master speaks, I just know! Do it!!”
Seeing Berlioz yelling out loud, Bianca replied with a short click of her tongue.
“Tsk, I understand.”
***
Next day.
Berlioz and Eugene with haggard faces got into the carriage.
“…You look tired.”
“Aren’t you like that too?”
“Ah… I have a lot of work…”
There were many.
Because I did 5P, not 4P.
If I describe it, it will be 29 gold instead of 19 gold, so I can’t describe it at all…
“…The original girl is the same as yours. It was a lot of work.”
“…”
I don’t know what Berlioz did, but it must be different from what I did.
“By the way… Why did she ask me to come?”
“…Me too…”
“Isn’t it written in the letter?”
“Yes, they just told me to bring them. I’ll be there soon, so I’ll ask him directly.”
As soon as he said that, the carriage stopped.
When I got off the carriage and entered her shop, Tristia greeted me with a bright smile.
“Oh my… Master.”
“Tristia.”
Tristia ran up to her and hugged her, buried her face in my arms and said.
“Praise me… Did I really work hard?”
“It’s really great. Thank you. Great job.”
“No, that’s not enough. Praise more.”
Tristia falls from her arms only after she praises her for a long time.
“Ugh~ Now, the young master’s power is fully charged.”
“What’s the young master’s power… By the way, can I see the enchantment for a moment?”
“Yeah, I thought you might ask, so I prepared it over there.”
Looking in the direction Tristia was pointing at, there was a bag of well-forged items on her desk.
Sigh-
When she raised her sword, it was clear that it was of high quality that fit snugly in her hand.
“Swing it.”
“Yes.”
Woo-!
The moment she swings the sword, the magical energy inside her body is slightly drained and a magical coating is applied around the sword.
“This is… Amazing.”
“Right…? Even if I make it, it’s really great!”
Tristia shrugs, pushing her large breasts forward.
But she had enough to shrug off.
Of course, it’s not enough compared to the real Aura, but the difference between having magic coating and not having it is huge.
It’s not that it covers the magic coating itself, it’s just a metal that increases the efficiency of magic transmission.
But even this enchantment doesn’t cover the type of metal!
‘…If this is commercialized, the strategy will change.’
The enchantment developed by Tristia had the power to go beyond the concept of combat and tactics and engage in strategy.
“Then, let’s test whether it doesn’t apply to humans this time… Please help me, Berlioz-sama.”
“Huh? My mother-in-law told me to cut you?”
“No. …Please stop right before reaching. You won’t stop better than me.”
“…Well, that’s about it… I get it.”
“Then when I say start…!!”
Whoo!!
Before I could finish my words, Berlioz swung his sword at me.
