Chapter 18-1

Hanette doesnt stop knocking on the door anxiously.

Would he have been so upset if she hadnt worn that necklace?

Although she didnt like what he was doing, she couldnt just leave him alone.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Hes stubborn

Hanette shook the doorknob back and forth, but it was locked from the inside, so she couldnt open it.

If she used magic, she could burn the door down, but she would get caught by her parents or the maid.

Bring me the key to this room!

Y-yes? But

I said bring it!

Ohokay.

The maid hurriedly turned her back and ran down the hallway.

Hanette sighed and started banging on the door again.

Hey! Come out! Lets talk calmly, Okay? Its not like anything will happen if you keep doing this

The door made a creaking sound and shook slightly.

Hanette took a step back in surprise.

At the same time, the door opened and Sion appeared.

Why are you making so much noise? Cant you be quiet?

Why are you like this? If youre angry with me, shouldnt you tell me?

Hanette looked at Sion with exhaustion.

Unlike yesterday, there was no energy in his eyes, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

It seemed as if he had been struggling with loneliness for a long time.

What are you talking about? Im not angry with you.

Sigh Fine, If thats how youre going to act. Lets talk now.

Cant you wait just a little bit? I dont have much time.

Ill wait for you, so come outside.

Are you waiting outside?

Ah, forget it! Open the door. Im coming in and talk.

As Hanette didnt back down, Sion reluctantly opened the way.

Hanette quickly looked around to see if there were any changes.

Sion weakly stepped forward and locked the door.

So why did you bring up the widow? What did you want to say?

Well, see this? I wore it as you asked me to. Dont do anything like this in the future, okay?

Wore it? Oh, that?

Sion belatedly noticed the relic hanging from Hanettes neck and let out a small laugh.

Did she create this fuss since morning just to show him that?

Well, it suits you well. Its well worth my efforts.

I suppose so. You bought your favourite, so of course it will look good on me, right?

The cool energy that had been circulating throughout his body slowly began to disappear.

Gradually, a warm sensation filled the empty space and spread throughout his body.

Are you okay? Do you have any pains?

Im not in pain Im just a little hungry. And thirsty.

You havent eaten anything all day?

It just happened. Ah, is it a secret from the Duke Adelaira?

Hey, you crazy person! Why starve yourself?!

Hanette unconsciously curses and looks at him uncomfortably.

Why would he starve to the point of not eating anything because she didnt wear them right away?

If she had known this would happen, she would have put on the necklace as requested.

Okay Ill show it to only you. I gained something from starving myself.

Sion stretches out his right hand and pulls out something deep within his body.

Then, an unfamiliar energy flows out of his heart and reaches his right hand.

You cant be

Do you know what this is? I told you I would awaken.

So suddenly like this?

Well, sometimes things happen suddenly in this world.

Sion emits magic imbued with a golden light and concentrates it in his right hand.

This was the magic and immunity to magic erosion that he had been seeking so desperately.

Of course, compared to El Tesoikve original magic, it was incomplete, but it was enough to handle the Exceed Rain.

Its meaningless unless Ive already taken the Crimson Limpia Macina beforehand.

The Crimson Limpia Macina had the role of implementing El Tesoikves magic while providing immunity to mental domination.

Therefore, Sion drank the Holy Water created by El Tesoikve and absorbed the magic completely into his body.

However, if he had already awakened his magic, the chances of failure would increase, and if El Tesoikve denied the subject, he could be seriously injured or even killed.

I was the perfect candidate for those conditions. Should I consider myself lucky?

Sion feels a sense of relief as he gathers the magic.

Although it took considerable time and money, he was finally able to achieve his goal.

Now that he had that equipment, all he had to do was get his hands on the Exceed Rain.

Okay, lets go eat. Can you walk?

If I cant, will you carry me?

Do you want me to kick you with my foot? Youre holding it in quite a bit. Just come quietly.

Youre going to kick your fiance? Isnt that a bit extreme?

Isnt it better than starving all day like a crazy person?

.

Sion slowly walks by without saying a word.

From Hanettes perspective, awakening magic may not have a significant impact.

Since Hanette had already awakened her magic and learned magic.

But shes still wearing the gift I gave her. I take it, she doesnt hate it.
