Episode 81
Looking at the butler’s trembling eyes in astonishment, I briefly recalled old memories.
It was a bitter memory.
To put it bluntly, it’s the worst memory for me.
– Where are you satisfied?
– How about helping the family fall? It’s your fault.
-You are not suitable for family home, Mr. Mikhail.
That day was the day the family collapsed.
Miserably, without any help.
As a master of magic, our family was envied by countless wizards, but the end was too futile.
Even if it is the army of the great devil.
It collapsed without being able to resist in the slightest, let alone deal proper damage.
Many have died.
Some fell while fighting fiercely, while others fell while wandering around.
There was nothing I could do in the face of the deaths of those retainers.
nothing really.
but i didn’t die
In desperation, he decided to die, but he couldn’t even do that.
– Do you think dying together is courage? sincerely?
Someone cut through the enemies and rescued me.
But his eyes were full of contempt.
It was an atmosphere that was hard to imagine if it was his usual appearance.
-then.
And the one who saved me.
-You must have been worth that much.
It was Merdin, the butler.

“Did you know everything? so…“
I don’t know exactly. As the butler said, I was born with a blessed body.”
I smiled at the butler looking at me with trembling eyes.
I never expected to see such a reaction from the butler. Is it really possible to experience this kind of experience because you are really going to regress?
I muttered to myself.
‘Of course it’s a lie.’
It’s not that my body wasn’t born at all.
He was born with the talent and body to be said to have been blessed as a wizard.
However, my mana cycle is not natural, but an artificial change.
The secret wish of the group the butler said.
I have already achieved that longing, and I am experiencing it in my body.
“But to say that there is a way to create that result…“
It’s not just the body you’re born with.”
I tapped my head with an expression that would make anyone feel unlucky.
“Here, this hair was also born.”
“…!”
“Why does my body accept mana so easily, and why is it possible to cause multiple mana cycles that are difficult for ordinary wizards…”
“Wait…Are you sure you analyzed that!”
“And I even interpreted it.”
At my words, the butler froze with his mouth open.
He took a step backwards involuntarily and then shook his head as if it was nonsense.
“Bocchan is now twenty.”
“Oh right.”
“I don’t know if I learned magic properly…10 years? no no no I can judge that you barely made it through three years.”
3 years.
It was. I had been in contact with magic itself for 10 years, but it was only then that I started to form a circle and do something.
Even that was wild.
whatever
“How much do you think a butler is a genius?”
“…yes?”
“I mean talent. overwhelming talent. Being a wizard is a very unreasonable profession. Even with 100 years of hard work, you can’t overcome 5 years of genius. With magic, the ‘talent’ is extremely extreme.”
“That’s right.”
“The ‘three years’ the butler said is three years in the general category, right?”
“…her.”
The butler who had heard that far, unknowingly, trembled at the corner of his mouth.
“Well, the scope of talent is infinite. So much so that I don’t dare to judge… …The
butler said that and sighed lightly.
“…Someone could be born with something they couldn’t achieve even though they made a faction and made countless sacrifices. Hee hee, where else is this absurdity?”
The butler muttered in a bittersweet voice.
There was a deep skepticism in his voice.
‘I don’t think that’s necessary.’
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at the butler’s skepticism.
That’s also true, because the self-circulation formula I’m learning is what I completed together with you.
but i can’t say that
There’s no way I’ll believe it even if I say it, so what can I do?
“The world is originally an unreasonable law. But it didn’t make any sense.”
“…what do you mean.”
“The butler’s physical condition. In fact, you’re almost no different from rags, right?”
“…!”
“I like my eyes. As I said before, it’s a natural talent. Just as the butler felt something in me, I felt something in the butler.”
At my words, the butler’s fingertips trembled. But it’s okay.
talent and hard work.
No one suffered from these two more than the butler, so he would be discouraged but not despair.
“It seems that the butler is also the kind of person who was ruined by the group’s outbursts. still…It seems to have had some success.”
“Performance…. Whoops. yes there was There have been results.”
The butler leaned against the railing.
He looked at the moon floating over there with tired eyes.
“The Twilight School.”
“….”
“That’s the name the lunatics I belong to belong to. I used the moon as a symbol. The deepest mana fills up is around the time of that bright full moon.”
Know.
I was also that twilight.
The last Twilight who was a member of the lunatics and fulfilled the lunatics’ longing.
yes that was me
“…In any case, the teachings of Twilight have become more and more sophisticated from generation to generation. At least it’s much better than the first time.”
“Compared to the first time, I mean.”
“Yes, it is still a dangerous training method if you look at it objectively. The price to bear is as great as what can be gained.”
Trembling, he raised his hand.
“I am a mage from the 7th circle. To put it bluntly, the 8th circle is just around the corner.”
“Surely great.”
“Even if it is called the 8th circle, there will be no problem. You know one thing, but it’s not perfect.”
said the butler.
Not to mention the 8th circle, even the 7th circle was not an area that could be reached with his talent.
However, Twilight’s teachings made it possible.
He had to pay a considerable price, but in any case, he had reached a level that was originally impossible.
“I was called the Wizard of Twilight. It didn’t last long, but I was able to outsmart the wizards who laughed at my talent.”
“By the way, did you have any side effects?”
“In a way, it is natural. Because the inside is a mess.”
The butler shrugged.
“I overworked my body to keep up with my talent. It’s a pity after all.”
The butler’s voice was thick with resignation.
overload of the body.
“But taking that into account, you live quite a long time, don’t you?”
“I mean, I gave up. I gave up my desire to step up to the 8th circle and refrained from using magic unless it was really necessary.”
In short, it meant that instead of giving up his honor or pride as a wizard, he decided to live a little longer.
Instead of gambling with 8 circles.
It is said that they decided to be satisfied with a half-mage.
“So you’re interested in me?”
“I thought it might alleviate my side effects. After all, it was an area of talent, so there was nothing I could do about it.”
The butler grunted and continued.
“…Like dirty talent.”
“Talent is a bit dirty.”
“Looks like you’ve already reached the 6th circle. Not too long ago, even the 3rd circle was incomplete… …”
The butler scratched his head nervously.
“…Well, anyway, yes. I’m done talking.”
“I heard you.”
The identity of the butler and the worries and problems he has… ….
Well, I knew all of that, so I don’t need to hear more.
At my words, the butler smiled bitterly.
“Then you know now. Currently, my body is in an irreversible state. It’s already hardened and I can’t do anything about it.”
“Hmm, I see.”
“Yes, even if I want to improve my training method, my physical condition is not in a situation where I can accept the improved training method….”
“Then we can fix it.”
I came to a simple conclusion.
At my words, the butler’s eyes widened.
“yes? No, it’s because I’m very sick? It’s just that I’m old and sick now, so I’m going to do it today and tomorrow.”
“So we can fix it.”
“No, what is that…”
It may not reach you with your brain as a wizard.
“Who am I? Aren’t you a warrior chosen by God?”
The butler tilted his head and said to me as if he wasn’t hot.
“Heh heh…Ah, no matter how brave you are, do you mean that?”
“It would have been impossible before. But have things changed now?”
Of course it’s an excuse.
It’s true that the hero is special and the divine power I possess is great, but I don’t have enough power to completely heal the butler.
I don’t know if there is a saintess.
Anyway, the means by which I can restore the butler is not divine power.
It will be a work based entirely on my understanding of the ‘autonomous circulation’.
But I can’t explain all of it.
“I can’t believe it. Anyway, this case is different. I know my body better than anyone else. This can be fixed… …”
It’s ridiculous to say that it’s impossible when God is involved.”
At my words, the butler widened his eyes.
I smiled and stretched out my hand.
“Then get some sleep.”
“What is that…!”
“< Sleep >.”
The butler’s talent is limited, as is the ability to turn it on and off.
They are very vulnerable in unexpected situations like this.
Especially if the other person is quite trustworthy.
“Broken…Mr. this dog… …“
Ah, your temper is still the same.”
Since it seems to be in an emergency, whoever the opponent is, I urgently take out slang words.
“…Feet”
The butler finally spoke until the end and closed his eyes.
Perhaps the butler’s reaction after waking up is also worth seeing.
‘It’s not like I’m doing this for something particularly bad.’
You will understand.
It’s the butler’s job to understand, isn’t it my job?
I grabbed the fallen butler and grinned.
“Long time no see. This heavy and cool feeling… …[
What else are you going to do?]
Set suddenly jumped out and asked with a worried expression.
The problems engraved on the butler’s body were really clearly visible.
“Now it’s time for body transformation to go back to Mikhail.”
[Again bullshit.]
Set seemed to be saying something next to him, but he decided to pretend it was dog barking.
* * *
The butler’s physical condition is a mess.
It was better than the point before the return, which was like a return, but it was still not suitable for using magic.
“It’s pretty much broken.”
A normal wizard’s physical condition would not be strange even if he could not use magic.
The mana circulation points of the whole body were twisted, and it would not be strange if each circulation point burst at any time.
[Can you see that?]
“Of course. I know how this happened.”
A temporary obsession with wanting to reach the 8th circle somehow.
In fact, the butler’s autonomous circulation ceremony was already quite complete.
The problem is the butler’s impatience.
As the last remaining descendant of Twilight, the desire to create a ‘perfect’ training method as soon as possible.
that broke everything
I forcibly increased the circulation points, and mana began to circulate where it shouldn’t have been made.
The mana that started to circulate like that began to damage her body every time she used magic.
To live long, mana circulation would have been at most 30 minutes a day.
As a result, the magic level naturally stagnates… …So the vicious cycle repeated itself.
Around the time the family collapsed before the return, the time for the butler to circulate mana was less than 10 minutes.
“It is time to make things right.”
slowly and carefully
One by one, the magic that had been designed before the return began to form.
< Twilight Restoration Ceremony >.
That was the name I gave to this spell before returning.
and….
Keying.
The magic emitted a bright light.
Great mage who transcends by regression
