Episode 27. Basics
“Phew…..”
Exhale.
I exhaled to my limit, as if exhaling the oxygen inside my body.
“How is it~?”
He avoided Margaret’s squinted eyes and breathed in and out again.
“Definitely….. I feel like my body has changed.”
Try inhaling and exhaling repeatedly.
This was to check lung capacity.
It was a part where you could immediately tell that your body had changed compared to the past.
-Bam!
The door we were in suddenly opened and Colorado came in carrying a large backpack.
“Are you okay?”
“Huh? Oh. Well. It’s nothing.”
“That’s great. First, please have this.”
Colonel took out the packed food from the backpack he was carrying.
-Gulp, gulp, gulp-!!!
As soon as I smelled the fragrant scent, my body reacted.
“Your Majesty’s body is truly amazing~ Do you want to study it~? Can I dissect it~?”
“Would that be okay? Why did you buy so much food?”
“Please look at your body now, young master.”
Colonel took down the mirror in the room and showed me my body.
Maybe because it was a hotel, there was a mirror that revealed my entire body.
‘Is this….. because of the “nature to be hated”?’
【Ability Storage】 There is a “March Spirit” corresponding to the “Status” in the warehouse.
The effect, to put it simply, was something like a ‘body with grit’.
However, the “disposition to be hated” meant that I had developed the ability corresponding to my disposition, that is, the disposition in my heart.
『《B: The Nature to Be Hated》
Effect: Temporarily increases stamina by consuming energy.
I was curious about what energy meant, but it seemed to refer to residual energy in the body.
Even so, it seemed more correct to say that this was not about increasing physical stamina, but rather maintaining a little more mental strength, albeit briefly.
“Your Majesty’s condition is very serious. Do you know why?”
A dragon’s cells adapted too quickly, and a body without even a foundation that could withstand it.
My body was already in bad shape due to lack of stamina, and on top of that, my body fat had disappeared, so it couldn’t be more serious.
“Please eat first. Then we’ll talk.”
“Then don’t hesitate and eat it.”
I reached straight for the food.
***
“Hmm~”
A girl of about the same age as Locke sat on a chair in the garden and lifted her teacup.
“So you’re saying that your talent is certain?”
“Yes, in my opinion, yes.”
“If that’s what Agnes is saying, then that’s what it is. So what is the standard? Second brother? Or first brother?”
“…… I don’t know either.”
“Hmm? You don’t know?”
“I tried to spread the word about living like the young lady said and kill those who were judged to have talent. But… instead, I ended up pushing away the desire to live.”
At the time, Agnes felt a little bit of admiration for Locke’s pure murderous intent that was pushing away his own.
Living is fundamental. It comes from hating something.
When you reach that level, you can freely release the murderous intent you have hidden within your emotions, but the root of your hatred will not change.
Depending on the root, the density, atmosphere, and nature of life change.
But Locke was ‘pure’.
Is it that there is no object in this world for one to live for, or is it that one hates an object that can never be reached?
It was the first time in Agnes’s life that she had lived with such purity.
“You pushed away the life force of the user… didn’t you let it go?”
“Of course. Above all, I discovered several surprising things during my duel with my master.”
Agnes hesitated briefly at the part about being the youngest.
Erina didn’t care because she already recognized Locke as a member of the Duke of Widia.
“What’s surprising?”
“How should I explain it… It broke my mana in reverse.”
“Hmm? If that’s true, that’s surprising.”
“What would you like to do, Miss Erina?”
Erina, the second daughter of the Duke of Widia, quietly tilted her teacup.
widely.
He quietly placed his teacup down on the table before opening his mouth.
“Do you know that?”
“What are you… saying?”

“It turns out I was born four months earlier than Locke.”
“I heard.”
“I guess I’m your older sister?”
“Yes?”
Only then did he show an inexplicable expression of satisfaction.
“You’re saying I’m your older sister? And your cute little brother?”
“hmm…..”
Agnes thought of Locke, bleeding with his mask off.
A boy with a cute appearance that makes even the King of Heroes fall in love with him, but who also has a somewhat wild aura.
Agnes couldn’t help but nod her head as she thought of that thrilling sight of someone not fearing fear but rather boldly rushing into it.
“That…is…right?”
“You have to take care of your cute little brother. Oh. And you didn’t treat Locke too badly, did you? How bad was his injury?”
Agnes glanced at the rapier on her waist.
Locke’s shoulder was stabbed deeper than expected.
You could tell at a glance that his condition was serious, as he was being carried by Sir Colonel, his stamina completely drained and unable to move.
“….. It’ll be….okay. It’ll be fine. Yes. Of course.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s nothing. Young Master, you will be fine.”
At Agnes’s words, Erina reached out to the small plate next to the tea.
Erina, who was putting a simple snack that went well with tea in her mouth, said with a smile.
“Shall we go and see my cute little sister’s face?”
***
“I guess this is what they mean when they say a beggar enters the boat. You are truly blessed. Hehehehe.”
“Rain, rain, rain….”
During this time, Locke did not eat much because of the closed environment.
In the future, I did overeat a bit, but not so much as to eat all the food that Colonel bought.
‘Is this a side effect of the ability?’
It feels as if my body is forcing itself to replenish the energy it expended.
-match!
Suddenly, I heard applause, so I took my hands off the food and looked at the owner who had made the noise.
“Now, your highness. Now eat and listen.”
Well well
I kept my mouth moving and listened to what Colorado had to say.
“Now, going to the arena won’t teach you anything. Your skills won’t improve either.”
Why would someone using Aura be in the arena?
I have fought those who use that aura, so no one will challenge me.
If it were the first arena with romance, I wouldn’t know.
“The arena was intended to test the master’s talent and bring his Spirit Break to its limit. However, although his talent was confirmed to some extent, he was unable to bring his Spirit Break to its limit.”
“Gulp. Because I lack the basics.”
“That’s right. Your Majesty’s body has very weak bones.”
A dry branch supporting a huge rock.
It was a metaphor that fit my body perfectly.
“Talent is ruining the body. The dragon cells can also regenerate the misaligned body in an instant. We must build a foundation as the master said.”
Colonel handed me the sword he had.
“It’s a sword. I was able to buy it because it was just the right price. I hope you’ll be able to use this sword in the future.”
Something suddenly came to mind as I listened to the King of Heroes’ words.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you say this morning that you didn’t have money to buy weapons?”
“Is that so?”
“Then, on the first day when you came to the arena, who received the money that was supposed to be received for the duel?”
“……”
“Hmm. That sword looks familiar. Am I imagining something?”
“Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh……”
Colorado, who was laughing with a hardened face, pointed to the food.
“Maybe it’s because it’s a hotel, but the food is expensive. This is the food I bought with that money.”
“Hmm~? That’s~ the one I bought for you~ Hmm!”
“It was expensive. I even paid for it with my own money. Hehehe.”
He spoke without even looking at Colonel, who was covering Margaret’s mouth while picking up the last of the food.
“Colorence.”
“yes.”
“Cut off the receipt.”
“…..”
“What’s the answer?”
“….. I understand, Young Master.”
Where are you going to extort money from a former mercenary?
***
First of all, I decided to take a rest today.
When I returned to the mansion, I ate dinner prepared by the maids.
Even though I ate it like that at the hotel, when I actually ate it, it went back into my mouth.
After finishing my meal, I tried to go into the bedroom.
“young master.”
A maid approached me like that.
“The name is definitely….”
“This is Lisa.”
“lisa”
Young maid with red hair
Lisa came up to me and spoke carefully.
“Erina came when the master was not there.”
“Erina?”
I had never seen her face before, but I knew she was the same age as me.
‘Did you come here to see my face before entering the academy?’
If you come to see me without any contact, that would be the extent of it.
“so?”
“He said he would wait for about five hours and then come back tomorrow.”
“….. Five hours?”
“Yes. Sensing that the situation had become serious, Tesrun continued to search for Locke and eventually collapsed from exhaustion.”
“……”
So that’s why I didn’t see Tesrun.
“Did you hear when he’s coming tomorrow?”
“There was no such thing. He just said he would come back tomorrow.”
“Hmm. Well. I guess you just want to see my face. Okay. By the way. Can you make me a bigger breakfast tomorrow?”
“Of course you can. Should I double the amount of food?”
“Make it 5 times bigger.”
“…..yes?”
“5x. It seems like things will get a little harder starting tomorrow. Please.”
“Ah, yes, yes…..”
Lisa seemed quite taken aback by the ridiculous amount.
After Lisa left, I went into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.
“A lot happened today.”
I chased assassins, ate Drake t**ticles, fought Auror users in the arena, and even met Margaret.
It was expected that the ratio would be measured high tomorrow.
“Why are you suddenly on a diet?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
As I was chatting with the King of Heroes, the night grew darker.
“Good day. Can I ask you to sing a lullaby today?”
-Tiring!
[A deep sleep comes.]
So I fell asleep.
