After a single override and disinfection, Nicola turned her neck slightly to her satisfaction and looked at the iron masked lemon that was pinned to the ground.

Well, I don't know what to do with him.

I feel my neck was bent at a strange angle, and if I leave it alone, I may die. Well... I don't think so, but I had an idea about how Lemon would be treated.

"Looks like they saw us as merchandise, and I think they have connections to people or organizations who trade in human beings. That's why I think it's better to treat him, turn him over to town, and extract information than to leave him alone."

Gil, the merchant, told me about the kidnapping myself, but it's forbidden to take people and buy or sell them, at least in this territory. Nevertheless, there will be no more kidnappings.

Gil says, "That kind of organization is hiding everywhere. It's not bad for you to look at the item box apart, and be careful with crowds in that way, right?". I rarely get compliments for my appearance in contrast to Nicolas, so I often remember being angry that you were seriously listening.

That's right. The punishment for banditry seems harsh, and I think the victims of the past will be rewarded rather than passing away in their dreams. And in some cases, it may lead to helping victims who have already been sold. "

Nicolas doesn't seem to disagree either. Then I crouched in front of Lumon in an attempt to cast healing magic. Then Nicolas sends me a more thoughtful message.

─ However, if you treat it now, it can be annoying to regain consciousness. Let's suck up the magic with the magic drain first. "

"Magic drain? Not energy drain?

I have used energy drains to dry wood, but I have never used magic drains. It is the same drain system, but there is a difference between energy drains that are physical and magic drains that absorb magic.

Oniichan can also fall asleep and lose consciousness when he exhausts his magic. Let's squeeze the magic of Lumon to the brink and put it in that state. It will be quiet for a while, even if you heal your injuries. "

Surely that's better. Well then, let's do it. "

Norwell used to say that magic drains are superior to energy drains, but for me, it's easier than energy drains.

I managed to absorb moisture with energy drain, but the image of absorbing physical strength still doesn't boil. In contrast, using magic to suck up magic is easy to understand as a mechanism.

It was a bump scene, but I was still confident that I could do it.

"Magic Drain -"

I whisper my magic name and reveal a mana of dark attributes. By saying it and learning to associate the name with the magic, magic can be activated more easily.

A black smoky mana that can be clearly seen in the moonlight from both hands begins to gush and surrounds the body of the lemon. Then I felt the magic in the Lumon. This is my first time, so let's proceed with caution.

He took a deep breath once and then remembered the absorption of magic. Draw a thin stream of magic inside the Lumon to my magic through the Dark Attribute Mana. As the water flows from high to low...

Soon Lumon's magic began to flow into me without resistance. As she sucked up the magic of the few Lumons, Nicolas suddenly turned around behind me and talked.

Even so, Lumon's gift... is it "secret"? It was a tricky gift.

That's right.

I think oniichan will be safe from now on if he has one of those things.

It's hard to get rid of the signs like Estelle, and that would be useful. Even to protect myself. "

Looks like gifts can be turned on and off easily, and they can hide safely unless they're visible. You can hide in a cardboard ball and infiltrate somewhere. Is that really impossible?

You want a secret gift, right?

That's right. Sure, I want it... "

- What!?

I felt something coming into my body. What the hell is this? Even though I was smoking slowly, it came in slowly.

I look behind in confusion. Nicolas lifted Niccia's mouth and corner.

Oh, oniichan. Looks like you smoked Lumon's gift, doesn't it?

"What? What are you talking about? I don't think you can smoke gifts, think common sense."

I don't want you to freak me out by saying something so disturbing. However, there is a feeling that it has already been softened. There was a cold sweat on my back.

"Oniichan is desperate to accept being on the other side of his common sense... For the time being, try to explore your body. Something that has never existed before... doesn't exist?

Mum......

I interrupt the magic drain and get up, meditating my eyes and conscious of the magical flow flowing into my body. So when you look for discomfort, is it true that something that has never existed is somewhere in your body? I had such a strange feeling.

Something happened, something happened...

"Try to work towards something." "Secret."

Nicolas kept trying to block my words. I have no choice but to do as I say.

Secret...... ah

With a slightly bloodthirsty body, I felt a strange feeling of blending in with the landscape. This is...

Is this a hidden gift? Looks like he sucked it out... It's bad to suck someone else's gift, isn't it? I don't know what to do... "

When I asked her guilt lightly, Nicolas shrugged her shoulders and said lightly.

Don't worry about it, okay? The bad guys who attacked us will all be punished, so let's not poke as a nuisance. "

Hmm... Is that okay? But I don't think I can give it back, and if I think it's a nuisance fee that was attacked, I feel a little more comfortable.

Well, oniichan. Keep your stealth active, will you?

Nicola touched my body with a serious face when she told me to. Still sniffing around my body. What the hell are you doing? This guy.

Did you notice my cold gaze? Nicola answers with a serious face when she stops sniffing around.

Don't worry, I didn't wake up at Blackcon.... I see, this feeling is hidden. Nfu, kunka kunka "

Nicolas resumed sniffing and touching me again without giving me a clumsy explanation. Unlike when you are usually sexually harassed, your face is serious.

I had no choice, so I let her do what she liked for a while, and Nicola said briefly, "Okay," and then raised her thin chest with confidence, staring straight at me.

Until now, I have no information on hidden gifts. That's why I passed through my senses... We just updated your info. It's impossible to deceive me if I have a secret gift in the future. "

"What? Can you do that?

Oniichan and I are partly connected, aren't we? I just analyzed the gift through oniichan.

I can't analyze Lumon with a gift, but if it's in me, I can analyze it.

"... I see, that's what I mean. That's why you let me absorb the gift."

That's right. But I did guide them, but it was only half possible. I don't like oniichan's out-of-standard condition. "

Ah yes...... Well, it certainly made me nervous this time. Without a protective talisman, you might have had quite a lot of trouble, and I'd be glad to know how to deal with it. "

It's over, so I was gonna say it lightly.

"--yes, I won't take any more of it."

Nicola had a slightly harsh face and sluggish mouth. Then immediately loosened his expression and looked down at Lumon.

"Come on, oniichan. It's time to treat him, or Lumon will die. Celine seems to have a piece on her, so she's on her way, so let's treat her quickly."

Oops, that's right. Will it heal quickly?

When I crouched down without asking Nicolas, I decided to focus on treating the Lumon, who had been relieved of its magic and breathed in a bug.
