Chapter 354
Continuous magic was difficult
“I did it!”
“Wuff!”
On the other side of the table, after getting help from Leo, Liza had finished her second batch of medicine, and threw her hands up with joy.
Unlike Milina, she was able to mix it with the pestle without resting, and was still full of energy afterwards.
Leo was the same. She had been using magic for just as long as me, but showed no signs of being tired.
I suppose that was the difference between humans and Silver Fenrirs… Or maybe it was just me?
“Master…please…continue for a little longer!”
“Hah…got it…”
“…Good. That should do it. It’s ready!”
“Hah… Finally…”
Milina looked quite tired after continuously mixing the medicine, and I wasn’t much different.
If anything, I probably looked like I was more exhausted than her.
Finally, Milina mixed it firmly for the last time, and declared that it was finished.
At the same time, I stopped the magic and put my hands on the table and let out a sigh.
While my muscles didn’t feel sore in the same way that I did after training, I was still out of breath and sweating. It was similar to how I feel after running.
Also, it had been mentally draining.
So even if I was satisfied at having been able to activate it, it would definitely take some practice to be able to hold it for a long time…
“Phew. Thank you, master.”
“Hah… You did well, Milina.”
“Good work, papa. …You’re sweating a lot!”
“Wuff-wuff. Wuff.”
“Haha. Yes, I am. It was my first time using magic for this long. I didn’t realize that it would be so tiring.”
As I rested and caught my breath, Liza approached me and was surprised to see how tired I was.
Leo looked exasperated, as if to say that this was why I should have just left it to her.
Well, you should have told me if you knew it was going to be like this…
But I suppose Leo wouldn’t have thought to warn me, since it was so easy for her.
“…Should I have not told you to do it, papa?”
“Not at all. I learned something new about magic today, thanks to you.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Oh…okay.”
Liza looked a little worried when she saw me, but I assured her that I was fine, and thanked her.
There was no need at all for her to feel bad about it.
And so I smiled and nodded at her, and she finally looked relieved.
“Mr. Takumi. I’ve prepared some tea, so please rest for a while.”
“Ah, Ms. Lyra. Thank you. Liza, Milina. Let’s take a break then.”
“Yes!”
“Wuff.”
After we were finished with the medicine, Ms. Lyra brought some tea for us.
This was perfect, since I had sweated and was now thirsty.
And so I thanked Ms. Lyra and told the others to rest.
They nodded and we all sat at the table.
While Milina was obviously tired, Liza and Leo were still full of energy… Was this because they were young…?
But I wasn’t that old yet…
I thought of such things as I took my seat, and then Ms. Lyra brought me a towel.
“Mr. Takumi, you are sweating. …Excuse me.”
“Huh? Oh…uh…”
I had thought that she was just going to hand it to me, but instead, she started wiping my face with it.
As it was so sudden, I could not avoid it, and the soft towel covered my face.
Milina and Leo were looking at me with amusement, though Liza seemed more puzzled than anything.
“…Sorry, Mr. Takumi. But you were just so sweaty…”
“No… Uh, thank you.”
After wiping my face to my neck thoroughly, Ms. Lyra stepped away as if remembering herself, and suddenly looked embarrassed.
While it was a little embarrassing, it had felt nice, and so I thank her.
“Little Liza! I thought about it all night! How about this!?”
“!”
Suddenly, the doors burst loudly open, and Ms. Anne shouted as she stormed in.
Everyone froze in surprise as she entered.
Except for Leo…who must have sensed her presence. But Liza’s tail was standing up straight and her ears were held down as if she were afraid. Leo glared at Ms. Anne when she saw this.
Liza…she must have been both surprised and scared…
I would have to be careful about making loud sounds.
“Hah…”
“Ms. Anne… And Ms. Claire?”
As Ms. Anne stood there, with her arms spread out and a triumphant smile on her face, Ms. Claire appeared behind her. She sighed and held her head as if she had a headache.
It was understandable, as barging into rooms and shouting was not very well-mannered of Ms. Anne.
“What do you think? Now little Liza will not be afraid of me!”
She said proudly.
And so I looked at Ms. Anne closely to see what had changed.
There were two things.
Ms. Anne’s hair… The tips of her hair rolls, that is to say, the tips of her drills, looked very strange now.
Ms. Anne… I don’t know about this…
