Chapter 12

***

I shook my head quietly. I don’t want to find any lost relative to the underworld.

“No thanks.”

Leonhardt wept over my placid refusal.

“You don’t want to live with me?”

Yes.

“No, it’s not… According to the Imperial Court, it’s hard to fix my memory.”

“It’s hard to fix with magic?”

“Yes, I don’t remember the details, but they said something is complicated.”

In fact, Amelia’s memory naturally disappeared as I went into this body, but I couldn’t say as it is, so I made an alibi.

Leonhardt narrowed his forehead and looked towards Bastian.

Bastian sighed lightly.

“I’ll explain it to you later.”

Leonhardt nodded explicitly and fixed his eyes on me.

At that moment his golden eyes glowed brightly.

“…but as an older brother, I can’t help but not overlook her condition. Come here, our baby.”

He smiled brightly with his arms out in the air.

What nonsense is that again.

Even with my suspicious look, Leonhardt spoke deftly without batting an eye.

“It’s a top secret, and the ability to know what’s going on when you hug someone…kkk.”

“What the h-.”

But Bastian is a little faster. He grabbed Leonhardt at the back and laughed coldly.

“My brother must have been learning to play tricks in the tower, right?”

“Oh, give me a hug. Come on!”

“Be yourself and stay on your hands and feet.”

“Do you think I’m gonna stay still? Try me. I’m going to smash your head, along with your skull.”

“I guess it is better to cut your hands and feet, and not tie them up.”

And seeing the two brothers speaking up, I quietly stepped back.

Well, now I’m gonna ran off with my nest.

***

“…this is difficult.”

Leonhardt put his index finger on my forehead, furrowed his brow.

I looked curiously at the blue wavelength at his fingertips. This is the Wizard’s hour. Unlike me, who glows interestingly, the flesh on both sides looked serious.

“I’m sure it’s hard to recover it with magic.”

Leonhardt shook his head after the ritual.

“The aura inside the youngest is twisted strangely. I see a damaged soul, and a new one… she’ll be in trouble if I touch it with wizard’s power.”

“The Chief Medical Officer was right.”

Leonhardt’s face was crumpled randomly. He looked fiercely at my brother.

“What have you been doing without taking care of your child?”

“What did you do while I was looking for her?”

“Please calm down you both.”

These two brothers couldn’t eat each other at every opportunity.

He said he met his siblings for the first time in 10 years, but there is not a single gram of affection. They think they are each other’s enemy.

Leonhardt, sighing heavily at my dissuasion, looked at Bastian with a slightly soft face.

“…so, is there any other way?”

“I was told to contact a Western Continental sorcerer.”

“Western sorcerer?”

Leonhardt opened his eyes round.

“Do you know him?”

“I know, though I don’t know much about him. I’ve got a few letters from the tower about him.”

He continued with a disapproving look.

“He’s famous in his tower. He’s the one who uses magic, but his wavelength is kind of unique. The people are quite interested in his strange tricks, neither mana nor sacred blessing.”

“If he is dark magician, then is he dead?”

“Yeah, and he’s probably quite old, too. They told me which I have heard from my teacher.”

Not quite, but a lot. He’ll be a thousand years old if I must say.

I nodded silently inside. Surely the wizards deserved to be interested in Callis’ ability. Though their faction is not otherwise a geek group.

“So, the reply is.”

“Everything is all chewed up, all of it.”

Leonhardt shrugged lightly.

“I have sent countless letters to my teacher and his teacher, but I have never heard back. The wizards I visited in person were all silent or missing, and in fact, the wizards are missing, and I just couldn’t find their body because I was crippled.”

I offer my condolences to the numerous wizards who died in the hands of Khallis.

Khallis is a stigmatizing guy who sometimes gets bored while playing tangjatang, but he can’t accept the invitation of the research-mad wizard.

I don’t know if one day he would want to destroy the tower and I’m going to find it on my own.

“Anyway, he can bring back memories of our baby.”

Leonhardt, who is mumbling while smoothing his chin, jumped up from his seat.

“I’ll be back.”

Me and Bastian’s mysterious gaze went up to him.

Where are you going at this late night?

“Where?”

Leonhardt answered my question refreshingly.

“To catch him.”

You crazy b^st^rd, you’re gonna die!

***

I really desperately stopped second brother trying to get Khallis.

Eventually he stepped back, and I am fortunate enough to escape from his crazy idea.

Meanwhile, Bastian tilted his head regretfully.

“Why don’t you just go?”

My first brother in my family will be the only one who encourages blood-related sibling without a blink of an eye and make them walk into the extremities. Bean flakes don’t have this kind of bean flakes either.

Anyway, after that day Leonhardt stayed on the duchy.

It is because he is tired of being stuck in the tower and wanted to see my face for a long time.

Of course Bastian was against it, but second brother is not the kind to give in to it.

My brother told me to hurry up and go to the tower.

“Our youngest never takes a step back until she finds her memories. So move along.”

He showed his mettle, saying…”I am going to rip your boats.” In the end, Bastian drew his sword, and the duchy are in a frenzy again.

Either I will leave this house as soon as possible.

“Youngest, are you awake?”

“Argh!”

Early in the morning, a man popped out from under the bed before I came to my senses.

As I cleared my surprised soul, Leonhardt is staring at me with his eyes shining. Why are you sticking out from under the bed?

“Good morning, brother Leon.”

Leonhardt blushed as he stuttered and greeted.

“Our youngest’s swollen face is refreshing.”

“Cute.”

Crazy guy.

Maybe because I broke up as a child, Leonhardt is particularly outspoken in treating me.

How can a person jump out of bed in the morning not unless he’s really crazy.

I tried to be a grown-up 21-year-old adult, but I quit.

After a few days of examination, Leonhardt is not a man of words.

“Youngest.”

Before I knew it, Leonhardt, who is on the bed, leaned on his chin and looked at me. My eyes were sparkling.

“How long are you going to use honorifics for me?”

“What?”

“Follow after me. Leon.”

“……”

“Bro.ther”

When he doesn’t answer, he emphasizes it by cutting off one letter at a time. Blinking his eyelids quickly and flicking it, it seemed that the stars would soon pour out of his eyes. I’m really scared of him. Apparently, this situation would not be over unless I spoke of those words.

Eventually, I took a step back.

“…yes, brother.”

When I managed to cut off the tail of the words, Leonhardt smiled way to big.

“Yes, Amel. Here I am.”

Sneaked away from Leonhardt trying to squeeze my cheek again.

“Will you please come back to normal?”

He broke the window last time and asked me if I am under the weather today, thus my heart would want to fall and just die.

“Our baby is surprised. Okay, I’ll open the window from now on.”

“Average person uses the door.”

“Yes, window.”

Why can’t you just pretend to listen when people talk?

“…but what brings you to the annex this morning?”

“What’s the reason? I’m just here to see our youngest.”

Yeah, there is no real reason.

“I’m going to the library for now.”

“Library?”

“Yes, I got permission from big brother yesterday.”

Duke Cedric owned the second largest library after the imperial family. The scale is enormous, so a completely independent building has been built.

Everything is in there from the cheap books on the market, hard-to-get secretaries, and old books.

When I asked last night if I could use the library, Bastian gladly handed over the key.

“The only place you’re not allowed to go in this mansion is Leonhardt’s room, Amel.”

With those words.

“Library you say? Why go there?”

“I just need to look for something.”

I am going to go and find data related to the full moonstone today.

As expected, Leonhardt drooped his eyebrows as if he was disappointed.

“Not that. Hang out with your brother today. I’ll show you something fun.”

“Not today.”

I shook my head firmly.

I don’t know what’s funny, but he’s definitely not good for my mental health.

“I have to go to the library today. I have work to do.”

“Then let’s go together.”

“No!”

I waved my hands in surprise. Leonhardt tilted his big eyes round.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Oh, no, no. I’m going alone.”

“I want to go with you.”

Leonhardt’s face became even more sullen.

“Our baby is being annoyed. I don’t want to be away from our baby.”

That’s not what I’m saying. I tried to placate Leonhardt, who showed a disappointing air.

“No, I really have something to do it all alone today. Let’s play together next time.”

“Promise?”

“You’re going to play with me, our youngest okay?”

“Okay.”

Leonhardt, who had been promised again, then disappeared from my room with a proud face.

At this point, I don’t know if I am looking after him or raising a child.

“Let’s see, books about full moon stone…”

Arriving at the library, I crossed between the bookshelf and searched only the books related to Moon Stone and the Stone of Life.

What was more important than buying a full moonstone is the process of smelting it. Depending on how you deduct it, it can be a living stone or a useless rock.

“Certainly no book has found a connection between the two minerals.”

The full moon stone and the stone of life had the same components.

However, the crystal structure is different, making one soft stone and one a mineral with tremendous power. Like graphite and diamonds.

In the original, the alchemy-talented heroine, Tricia, discovered the fact.

And start researching.

“When the stone is soft, the crystal structure is loose…”

In fact, the application of tremendous heat and pressure to graphite crystallizes into diamonds. I have seen examples of successful researchers.

Of course, the heat and pressure required at that time are extremely difficult to commercialize.

Based on that principle, I thought that the process of smelting the rocks of full moon stone would not cost much.

“And there’s magic and alchemy here, right?”

With the right manpower, both heat and pressure can be solved by magic and alchemy. It is roughly outlined in my head.

“Maybe it’s simpler than I thought.”

I closed the book.

To do all of this, I had to secure moonstone for now.

“I can’t put it off any longer.”

Wait for me, my money.
