NOVEL WEB c99
I slept soundly for the first time in a long time under the effects of magic and recovered to the point where I could move around normally, although the knots in my body were still a little sore.
However,
“Would you like a light meal?”
"Yes, I'll have some.”
I was surprised to find that no matter how much I called out to the servants, they were in a hurry to wake up, and that they were not able to get up until I woke up,
"Have you received my clothes?
Yes, I have been taking good care of them, keeping them well aired out in case you need them. ......
But are you sure you are willing to go? You better see a doctor .......”
Today is the day of the party that the king had mentioned,
“”Good for you. ......"
Finally, Maria's mental health has sunk, and these three problems have occurred.
The cost of getting rid of the exhaustion was too great and too much trouble, and if I solved the problem, she would probably collapse again.
I could have avoided this if I had stayed awake, but the servants, who were worried about me as I continued to sleep, were in my room from the moment I opened my eyes and called out to me.
It was great right after I woke up.
...... hmm?
'Come to think of it, I haven't seen Mina, where is she?"
'She was continuously using body strengthening magic on Khalil-sama without taking a break, so she is currently sleeping in her room because she ran out of magic power."
It's quite a feat for Mina to run out of magic right now.
The effects of that fancy magical tool have made her one of the best in the country in terms of magical power, and although she still has some rough edges when it comes to dealing with magic, she is getting better at it through training at the Dicaman family and is consuming less and less when she uses magic.
To continue to use magic to the extent that you run out of that large amount of magic power,......, you may feel heavier than usual.
"I'll have to thank her later.”
The question that crossed my mind, I honestly don't know because I've never kept up physical strengthening for that long, but I think it's not impossible.
Just as my body becomes heavier if I sleep too much or more tired if I get massages too often, I think that the effects of continuing to strengthen my physical abilities might make the knots in my body a little sore. ......
I don't want to pay any particular attention to this, because I know you are concerned about me.
'Okay, let's do it .......”
While worrying about Mina, I eat a sandwich prepared by a servant and get myself ready for the party.
In addition, I build a goal for today's party.
The goal for the party so far has been to build a friendship between noble families and to strengthen the relationship between the houses.
However, the fact that the king went out of his way to host a party for my promotion, sent invitations whether or not I belong to a faction, and did not ask whether or not I attended means that the purpose of today's party is probably to build a faction of the Dickaman family in the true sense of the word.
The king has arranged everything up to this point, which probably means that he wants us to bring in whomever we want.
Most of the attendees this time are friendly and beneficial, some are top-level members of other factions, and others are only disadvantageous to me because of their connection to me, especially because they have no usable abilities.
First, if Kurt is here, I will appeal to the people around him about his relationship with the Cartesian family, and I will reach out to the aristocratic family I want to attract, with whom I have developed a relationship at a recent party.
But there is also a problem.
I also have to think about how to deal with those who would try to bring me into their faction, and if Kurt is here, the noble family I plan to call on is currently neutral, but there is a possibility that an impromptu spy will be created to sell information to them.
Binding them with a contract magic would be one way to do so.
'The carriage is ready."
"All right, let's get out of here."
I was still thinking about the day's events in my mind, and in no time at all, my own preparations were over, and the carriage I had asked the merchant to prepare seemed to be ready as well.
It was still early for the beginning, but I would need some time to prepare with the king.
It would be even better if we could talk a little, and even if nothing was done, it wouldn't be a bad thing if I could think of it as a break.
"Are you leaving already?"
“Yeah, I've got some business I can't skip.”
Maria still looks at me with tearful eyes, even though it's been a while since I woke up.
I would probably be allowed to take her to the party, but an aristocratic party full of conspiracy would be extremely stressful.
I can't stay by Maria's side the whole time, and I'd have to spend some time alone at the party venue.
'Don't worry, look, Fu-chan will be there, too, right?
{"Fu?”}
'Ugh, ugh ...... yes ......'
I catch and hand over the blowfish that has been flying around the room lately, not quite in Maria's arms.
Totally forgetting my role, it might be time for a replacement.
{Hoooooooo....}
'......'
Speaking of which, when do summoned creatures disappear?
Basically, I've been deleting summoned creatures when I'm done using them, and I don't need to know, but my connections to the pufferfish, which I've been summoning for the longest time, are a little thin.
If the blowfish is a creature that has been given a powerful ability, when this connection is completely erased, the blowfish may disappear or not disappear and come into this world as life, and it may run wild.
That would be dangerous.
“No, that's not important right now."
It's no good, I can't think about the important party in front of me because I'm thinking about low-priority things.
Am I unconsciously nervous?
I don't know, but I have to do it with a sense that both my future and the Dickerman family's future is at stake.
"What is ...... now?"
"Don't worry.
Be a good girl and wait for me, I'll go pick up something for you."
I took a deep breath and changed my mind.
'Okay, I'll see you later."
“Bye, I'll be waiting for you. ......"
