Chapter 118 – Lucia Is Crying (1)
It was the week since I stayed in Hwangseong.
I was preparing a demonstration of ‘shadow’ in front of the princess.
“… Then, let’s begin.”
“Yes! I’ll look forward to it!”
I took a short deep breath, raised one hand over the shadow in front of me, and chanted an incantation.
「Swallow – Shadow」
At that moment, I felt the bottom of my feet go off, and I was sucked into the shadows without a sound, starting with my legs.
Surprisingly, it was pleasant in the shadows.
It was neither hot nor cold, and the space was considerable.
As long as they had food and drink, they seemed to have enough until their mana ran out.
‘Is this enough?’
About 30 seconds later, when I surfaced again, Liana was staring at me.
“…How is it.”
“Mmmm! It’s Eugene too! Well, it’s so obvious that it’s hard to praise! Melfisa also worked hard to teach!”
“No. I haven’t done anything.”
“Ahaha! No matter how talented Eugene is, he taught me ‘blood family magic’ in a week! Melfisa is so humble!”
“…”
Melfisa looked at me in awe, and I slightly turned my head.
Like the princess and Melfisa, more and more people seemed to misunderstand me as a talent freak.
‘…It’s not surprising.’
Magic practice was a backfire, and it was just sex every day, but he suddenly woke up.
Looking at Melfisa’s burdensome eyes, I think all of these are traits! I wanted to shout.
────────
Trainer (Rank EX)
-The owner’s things belong to the owner, and the toilet bowl belongs to the owner!
-Maximum of ‘3’ skills (magic) of a heroine trained above a certain level ‘69 〉74Can be used with ’% power.

[Shadow (Favoli clan magic)] – [Created as a trainer from ‘Melfisa’, power 74%]
────────
Look at this deceptive trait.
To be able to bring the skills learned by others to someone like this…
No matter how you think about it, the trainer was an open fire fighter.
“Well, actually, this is not very important!”
Liana’s attitude changed in an instant, and the word ‘sweet years’ filled her throat.
Of course, it’s true that he learned magic easily as a ‘training instructor’, but he was desperate to become a teaching assistant.
“Then, Eugene. What shall we play from now on?”
But getting angry doesn’t change anything, so I answered with a gentle smile.
“I’m sorry, Her Highness the Princess. I don’t think I will have time to play.”
“….Yes? What are you talking about? Don’t you have time?”
Liana asked, blinking her eyes.
“Hasn’t the week passed as of today?”
“Yeah, so?”
“So I’m just going to leave.”
“…To?”
After looking at me for a moment, the princess shouted as if she knew I was serious.
“Eh! Wait a minute! It’s obviously passed! In the meantime, Eugene has almost only practiced ‘Shadow’! Even if you add up all the time you played with me… “
“It is unfortunate. But promises must be kept, so what?”
I calmly looked at my watch and continued.
“Oh, it’s already this time. It’s time to reserve the wagon soon, so I’ll have to get ready to leave soon.”
“For a moment! For a moment! Wait a minute! Does leaving mean leaving right now?”
“Yes, Her Highness the Princess.”
“Where?”
“Of course it’s not Carnea.”
“There are still a few days left of vacation!”
“I have something to prepare in advance.”
“Then I want to go too! Bring me too..!”
Remembrance─
As Liana ran toward me, Melfisa blocked her.
“What! Melfisa!”
“Her Highness, the princess must not go.”
“Why! Why! Why! Why can’t I go!”
“Don’t you know that Her Highness the Princess needs a procedure to leave the imperial family? The princess of the Lumenhark Empire cannot go around that easily.”
Melfisa speaks the truth.
“…Ugh!! Eugene..!”
Liana looked at me saying that I would never abandon her.
“Then, Her Highness the Princess. See you in Carnea.”
I replied with a refreshing smile.
—The best way to deal with the princess.
It’s not dealing with it in the first place.
‘…Fighting the princess in the imperial family is suicidal.’
I know better than anyone else that Liana can never be matched with her straight attack method of her.
So, just like the spiders waiting with their webs set up, there is a chance that the princess will at least come into my realm.
‘…In order to do that, I’ll have to train the saint first.’
To put her her saintly abilities her into her hands her.
That, in my opinion, was the minimum condition for a ‘battle’ with the princess.
“Now, Her Highness, if you prepare this way from now on, you should be able to arrive before the opening ceremony.”
“..Melfisa…Now..Wait a minute, Eugene..!”
I left, ignoring the voice of the princess calling me anxiously from behind.
***
A few days later, when I arrived at the Cream Pie Inn in Sankisan Village, I sat down in a corner and dropped the glass I was holding on the floor.
Swoop ─
Instead of breaking with a whooshing sound, the glass fell naturally into the shadows.
‘Come out.’
And at the same time as I was thinking in my head, a cup popped out of the shadows.
‘…Also.’
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a descendant of Pavoli or all blood family magic is like that, but there were some peculiarities compared to other magic called ‘shadow’.
The first is that the moment I learned magic, I realized how to use it naturally, like a unique ability.
The second is that you can use it without having to memorize the chant like now.
─Use without a chant? Absolutely impossible. After all, kin magic is also a type of magic.
I secretly asked this to Mel Pisa, but in front of Riana, who was not aware of it at all, she hid her ability by chanting as part of it.
‘And… This is the most important thing.’
The moment I try to move my magic while concentrating on the shadow hanging over the desk…
“… Eugene-sama?”
Marjan’s voice was heard.
“Oh, Marjan.”
I was prepared to stay up all night drinking alone, but we met quite early.
When I waved her hand and greeted her, Marjan became restless, and she suddenly bowed her back deeply and shouted:
“…I’m really sorry about that!”
His voice his was loud enough to draw attention in an ordinary place, but it was a very noisy inn, so he passed without any problems.
“…How dare you lay your hands on Calliope’s offspring, no matter how ordered you are! …I have nothing to say!”
“It’s okay. Don’t mind. If it wasn’t for that time, the princess would have noticed.”
“…Thank you so much for saying that.”
Marjan, who put his hand on her chest and sighed in relief, tucked her hair behind her ear her.
“By the way, how did you get away from the princess’s questioning her? She must have asked why she hit her.”
“…”
Instead of answering, I quietly drank my beer.
Even so, I didn’t want to make excuses for asking me to show my panties in front of him.
“…Come to think of it, what about Lucia? Where is she?”
“…Oh, Lucia-sama is waiting for you in Room 401.”
“Why aren’t you coming down with me?”
“He told me not to disturb him because he will be resting in his room his today, probably from fatigue. I came down to check if Eugene-nim was here. Seeing that we met like this, the timing was right.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I arrived a little while ago.”
Marjan answered, again tucking her hair behind her ear.
“…This is just a saying… But I will be staying in Room 402.”
I nodded.
It was natural to stay in the next room to do the escort duty.
“Okay. Okay.”
“…”
“Why? Do you have something to say?”
“…It’s nothing.”
“Okay, then I’ll go take a break too.”
While I was climbing the stairs, I suddenly remembered and said,
“Marjan.”
“Yes, Eugene.”
“The earrings look good on you.”
“… Ok… Thank you…”
Leaving behind Marjan, who somehow lowered her head, I climbed the stairs.
***
The Creampie Inn is divided into 4 floors.
The 1st floor is a bar, the 2nd floor is a shared room, the 3rd floor is a private room, and the 4th floor is a special room.
And, of course, Lucia stayed in a special room on the 4th floor.
Smart—
Standing in front of Room 401, I knocked on the door, but there was no response.
“Lucia.”
I knock on the door again and call my name, but there is still no response.
‘What…?’
When I carefully open the door and check, Lucia is lying on the bed.
“…”
I approached Lucia with the sound of her footsteps dead and checked her condition, but fortunately there was nothing wrong with it.
He must have been tired enough to tell Marjan not to disturb him.
‘I’ll have to book a separate room.’
The moment I get up quietly so Lucia doesn’t wake up.
“I’m sorry…!”
Lucia’s arm her pulled me abruptly onto the bed.
“…Chwiin-nim…?”
“Lucia…?”
“Hehe… You are the real Zuin. Hehe.”
Even at first glance, Lucia’s condition is not serious.
I said, swallowing her saliva.
“Lucia… Have you… Been drinking?”
“…Hehe…Yes…! Lucia, drink a little! Marshall!…Eh?..Juin-nim…Two…?..Uh…Three…?”
It didn’t smell like alcohol, but it was a well-known fact that Lucia was very weak to her alcohol.
“..Sniff…Sniff…Heh…Jjuin-nim…Smell…Whoa…”
Lucia, sitting on top of her, swayed her hips from side to side, sniffing at her face her buried in her chest her.
Seeing that, I wondered if Lucia had a tail like her Emma’s her, she would n’t have been wagging it.
“Lucia… First of all… Calm down…”
The momentum of sniffing her was ferocious enough to tear her clothes her, so let me grab Lucia by the shoulder her and pull her away a bit of her.
“…Heeep…”
Tears welled up in Lucia’s blue eyes her…
“… Lucia?”
“…Higuk…Juin-nim…Me…Huh…Huh…Huhhhhh…”
…Started to cry.
