chapter 41
41 – 8-The one who couldn’t put it down
Jin freaked out as if he had discovered a child playing with a dangerous object.
I was so angry that I just stared at my danteon without saying a word for a while.
Looking at Jin, who spews flames that lay low as if gulp and growl, my saliva flowed naturally.
[…] … Do you know you were just about to be crippled? If the electricity was broken and mana flowed backwards, he would have died.]
“Ha, but everything went well, right?
[Don’t play with your life. Danjeon got used to Hwajung’s mana, so luckily it increased. It’s pure luck that you can talk proudly right now.]
I can’t say I’ve been with Jin for a long time, but I’ve never heard such a cold tone.
But I also have an excuse.
“I wasn’t kidding. You know that. I might have to fight a sword master soon, but like you said, I’m weak. It doesn’t matter if I die from a breakdown or if my father cuts my throat.”
As a result, you also found a way to save time.
Jin let out a sigh as if realizing that she was angry at my words, but she couldn’t refute them.
[So you’re going to increase Danjeon to the advanced level with Hwajeong? You can’t become a senior by doing that, and it could be selling your future.]
“At this rate, there is no future for sales. And this is also your fault for floating rhymes with useless words?”
So why are you weak and provoking something?
Inducing violence is also a crime, right?
[Haa, you mean you’re going to try after all?]
Jin also fell for my words as if he couldn’t help it.
She will know.
She’s seen the possibilities and she’s here that she can’t back down.
Jin struggled for a while, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said firmly.
[In that case, leave it to me. I don’t want to see you die from a broken electricity.]
“That sounds riskier. Can you do it?”
[It’s possible because I can manipulate it if you draw out the mana of the fire. Rather, it would be better for me to do it by eye rather than by your senses.]
Definitely.
Since Jin can see her dantian exactly, she’d better leave it to her.
[Maybe this is an expedient that can only be used once. If you do this more than once, you won’t be able to stand it. Still, I’ll put safety first and do it slowly over a few days.]
“You mean it can be stopped midway if it’s dangerous?”
[I think so, but I’ve never done it, so I don’t know if I can really stop. What do you want to do?]
According to Jin’s words, all I have to do is bring out the mana of the fire.
It doesn’t matter if you lead your daily life as it is.
Jin will take care of the rest.
Then, is there anything to worry about?
“What are you doing, why don’t you start early?”
I believe in my body.
It doesn’t make sense for a guy called the genius of the century to go after him while he’s doing a danjeon expansion.
That would be funny as it is.
But I didn’t know that at the time.
That the Danjeon expansion surgery conducted by Jin was destroying her personality so terribly.
*
Early in the morning, aristocrats who occupied a seat in the north gathered one by one in the great hall of the de Yewitz family.
There was still time before the opening, so those who arrived early chatted.
The number of nobles in the northern region, including the baron, is slightly over 100.
It would be a mutual acquaintance across the street.
There was, however, a disparate being located in the Great Hall.
Aidan de Yewitz.
My half-brother was catching the attention of the nobles.
“Oh, is this Aidan? He’s not enough of reaching the 5th circle at such a young age, that great boy who dabbled in the art of glasswork?”
Viscount Hana, who had a deep connection with the Haenrel family, raised her voice in a way that everyone would listen.
“You’re young, but you’re already interested in things in the North and trying to learn. Madam, the future of the country is really bright!”
“That’s not…”
Eileen stopped Aidan from mumbling to say something.
“Aidan, please watch and listen closely to me. Do I have to work harder to lead these people?”
At that moment, Aidan and I met eyes.
Aidan opened his mouth as if he was about to vomit something out of me.
It’s probably an apple.
It wasn’t his will, but he must be saying he’s sorry for taking away the ball that developed the glass method.
Aidan’s personality would definitely be like that.
But that’s something Aidan must never do now.
Don’t.
I desperately turned my head away from Aidan.
“Aidan, what’s your answer?”
“……Yes. I will do my best.”
What I feared did not happen.
I sighed in relief and sat down.
The meeting had yet to start, so I had time to talk to Amber.
She said in a tone that made it impossible.
“Your wife also has a hot temper.”
“I guess it means to drive a wedge…”
So far, Kan Niel has opposed Aidan’s involvement in her affairs.
On the surface, she made the excuse that she was still young, but the reason behind it was to avoid revealing her successor conflict.
I deceive the eyes of the imperial family by letting my face be reflected in the political affairs, and also create reasons for disqualification by catching pods in the political affairs I saw.
This was also the reason why I was fiercely handling government affairs.
Because if I make a mistake, I’ll just give you a reason to slit my throat.
However, Eileen brought Aidan to the gathering of northern nobles with her own judgment.
This meant that the conflict between the successors would come to the surface, and at the same time, the House of Haenrel expressed their will not to participate in wasting time while watching the imperial family.
“Mister Bjorn. I’ve heard the rumors, but did you really survive facing the Great Demon of Plague?”
As I sat down, an unfamiliar article approached me.
I don’t know who the knight was, but judging from the pattern engraved on the clock, he belonged to the knights of a viscount close to Count Yakhok.
The Viscount must have sent the article because he wanted to build a kite.
Starting with that article, nobles from various places came to visit me.
Those who are dissatisfied with this meeting, those who want to connect with the imperial family, those who hate the House of Haenrel, those who are just curious about the rumors surrounding me…….
No matter what their circumstances were, they quickly formed a mass.
A gathering of people who don’t like this meeting right now.
A yak hok approached me before I knew it and started talking to me.
“It’s very popular. I was worried that I would have to get a turntable in order to say a word.”
“This is all…, hehehe, Earl Yakhok… Isn’t it thanks?”
Rumors must have circulated about yesterday that Count Yakhok might have been attached to me.
No matter how weak the Haenrel family is, the Yakhok family ranks third in the northern ranks.
If such a man moved, the following things should be put at least a spoon.
“No matter what you think, you’d better find out quickly what the Haenrels are up to. Now that you’ve agreed, I won’t feel any remorse and I’m going to slash them mercilessly.”
Seeing that the wife also brought the young master, it seems that she has made up her mind.
She must have been drinking tea since morning. Every time the yak hump opened its mouth, it smelled of mossy rocks.
Perhaps he, like Aileen, came with the intention of making a single plate today.
I have already made up my mind.
“Don’t worry……Don’t do your best…Huh?! Please.”
“Well, that’s right. But where are you sick?”
The yak ork looked at me with a worried expression.
I must have shouted at him with a flushed face.
“No?! I’m fine! Please don’t mind!”
“Tsk tsk, tsk tsk, oh… To think that your body hurts at such an important time. Please take good care of yourself.”
“hahahaha?!”
His body trembled at the hand of the yak hump on his shoulder.
As Yakhok gave me a pitying look and left for his seat, I couldn’t stand it and shouted at Jin.
‘Can’t you please kill me?! If I do this, I will go away in front of everyone!’
[Don’t talk like a dog before you throw away the short circuit! How much am I suffering right now!]
There is something I learned while undergoing danjeon expansion surgery.
Danjeon is a more sensitive organ than you think, so touching it from the outside can stimulate your whole body to the point of tingling.
Every time Jin used Hwajeong’s mana to touch Danjeon, I had no choice but to bite my tongue and swallow my moans.
‘I didn’t mean to do such perverted play! This is character murder!’
It’s not outdoor vibrator play, what kind of ugly thing is this in front of everyone else!
No, since Jin caresses you, is this a goddamn play?
…… Should I like this?
[You just thought dirty, you pervert.]
“Ahhh!!”
Disruption! The electricity is about to explode!!
He said he didn’t want to see me die from a broken electricity!
But you’re kidding me with your Danjeon?!
As she banged her head on the table and groaned, Barton spoke to Amber in a worried voice.
“Bjorn seems to be ill. Should I help him?”
“Leave it alone. I’ll look for it.”
It’s clear that he’s doing something perverted again.
In Amber’s voice, I couldn’t feel the slightest amount of loyalty towards the lord.
I felt like I was going to go crazy.
At least Mion, who can hear Jin’s words and knows the whole story, only looks at me with her pitiful eyes.
Meanwhile, Kaniel and Count Sorang entered the Great Hall together.
It was the beginning of the meeting.
“Then, I’ll start with today’s important agenda. First…”
“Wait.”
It was Yakhok who interrupted the administrator who was about to conduct the meeting.
As if to prove his promise of relentless attack, he fired at the Haenrel family with a grim face.
Now, let’s enjoy the splendid tongue-in-cheek battle of the incumbent aristocrats.
