270 – Reconciliation #2

The test was conducted quickly.

It consisted of nothing more than inserting a very long cotton swab deep into my nose, so deep that I thought, ‘Can it go any deeper?’

“Hieeek...!”

“Ahh-! I made a mistake...! We need to try the other side...!”

F*ck off.

Anyway, apart from the discomfort of having a swab pushed deep into my nose, the examination was simpler than I had expected.

There was no cutting open my stomach, no drawing blood, and no attaching strange machines to my body.

Thanks to that, it only took an hour to get the results. It was good that things moved quickly. Perhaps it’s because the people of Angmar don’t like to wait.

When the test results came back, Medinoi said.

“Theonoi, it’s great a pity...”

“What’s a pity?”

“Theonoi, it’s very unfortunate that you missed the opportunity to be the first to experience our latest medical devices and treatments...! Better luck next time...!”

“... What do you mean?”

“It means you don’t have the Nymph Flu Coronoi...!”

“.......”

Nasty little nymph. That’s not pitiful at all.

In the end, this entire incident turned out to be a kind of farce. Apparently, I wasn’t infected with the nymph flu or whatever it was called.

“Theo, I’m glad you didn’t catch the flu.”

Only then was I able to have a meeting with Aira, who had been watching me from a distance in the isolation room. For some reason, I felt somewhat relieved seeing Aira’s reaction.

Not only Aira was there, but also Mirna and Elga. Both had some minor injuries on their faces, but they didn’t seem to be seriously hurt.

However, the Drug Nymph Medinoi had a dark expression, showing quite a pessimistic outlook.

“But Theonoi’s body is not normal...! For some reason, it seems like Theonoi’s body is under extreme strain, even for a nymph...!”

Elga was the first to respond to that.

“... So, he doesn’t have much time left? His body is overstrained, and his lifespan has been drastically shortened, hasn’t it?”Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

“You can see it that way...! I am the Drug Nymph Medinoi. I can instinctively sense the lifespan of other nymphs....”

“Elga-nim, let’s talk about this later. I promise. There’s something I need to take care of first.”

Especially Elga, but there was something far more important that had to be dealt with first.

When I reached the thick door, he spoke as if he had been waiting for me.

━The door is not locked, come in.

What a beastly sense.

I opened the heavy door and stepped into Angmar’s Chancellor office.

A chill ran down my spine, as if I were stepping into the jaws of a lion, but compared to what I had just gone through, this was nothing.

“Lord Reinhardt.”

“.......”

Even as I entered the room, the man continued to meticulously tend to the sword in front of him. He didn’t even spare me a glance, and exuded a sense of seasoned composure.

He spoke leisurely.

“So, how is your illness? I heard the only way to resolve it is by burning your magic circuit.”

As expected. One thing became clear.

“You know better than anyone that I’m not sick, Lord Reinhardt. I know you orchestrated this entire scenario, so let’s stop playing games.”

“Interesting. But that’s a lie. You are indeed suffering from a fever. An incurable fever—a disease called the ghost of the past. Schemes and plots—those are the symptoms.”

“.......”

“Instead of a cough, there are lies. Instead of a fever in your head, it’s mad delusions that will consume you, Theo Gospel.”

Sreung. Tak.

Reinhardt sheathed his sword, yet his presence grew even sharper than when he held it unsheathed.

“So, what do you have to say to me, great court mage?”

Gooooooooo-.

A heavy aura emanated from him, powerful enough to feel lethal. However, I could sense my inherent talent《Charisma》neutralizing it.

I began to speak.

“Lord Reinhardt, I did not come here as the court mage, entertainment officer, nor the gardener.”

At that, Reinhardt burst into laughter as if he had heard something amusing.

“What remains of you if not for the titles of the Queen?”

“The truth.”
