When I realized it was morning.
In so much to do, yesterday was due to the task of writing down Chris' phonetic readings all day. But the most important thing to do right now is to replenish Chris' magic. For that reason, we should put behind us what we can put behind us.
And as it stands, the last thing we should put behind us is my rest. Sadly.
"Huh..."
I managed to mark the last document as I rubbed my squishy eyes.
This paperwork, which I checked all the way through, would be coming soon. It's the usual flow to give it to Uruge, the tax collector, and have it filed with Mayor Andrew. And it is for the mayor of Andrew to make the final confirmation of the whole thing before circulating the documents to the Imperial Council.
Originally, it's common for me, the lord, to make the last confirmation, but because of so many loopholes with it before, Mayor Andrew was the last one to confirm it. Seriously, thanks.
Well, Mayor Andrew has convinced me that "Master Jin is busy," too.
"Well... do you want some dinner?"
The sun is still up and slight, and Ianna has yet to serve either.
But if you go to the kitchen, you'll have something to eat. Plus, I want some water. With that in mind, I lifted my heavy hips and headed to the kitchen.
Exactly the whole night, I was thirsty because I worked without drinking or eating anything.
"Today...... as Chris reads on, I also have to compile a report to submit to your master. Can you sleep a little...?
Exactly, even though I put my rest behind me the most, I have to keep my health under control.
At least that's all the territory stays behind when I fall. We still have a lot to do, and we don't have time to fall. To do so, the first thing you need to do is rest.
In the meantime, do you just leave Ianna a a "wake me up when you get here" note, eat something, and then rest -.
With that in mind, when I arrived in the kitchen.
"Morning, mister."
"... Chris?
There, there was Chris.
shavers and eating vegetables intact for some reason. Is ginseng a good thing to be raw? Although I've seen rabbits and stuff eat.
"Chris, what the hell..."
"I'm hungry"
"Huh..."
Chris, the undead and immortal (Nosferatu), needs a meal. But I've never said I'm "hungry" myself like this before. More importantly, I'm supposed to be eating a meal, but it was a mystery how I was excreted.
And most importantly.
What emanates from such Chris is an uninterrupted amount of magic.
Yesterday, it was about a hundred times what I was, and it was back to the point where I didn't know the cap.
"... how?"
…… What's the matter, mister?
In Eleonora's hypothesis, Chris thought that he might have absorbed the magic around him when he became immortal (Nosferatu). And I thought maybe that would be the right thing to do.
But Chris' magic is back again. That's about as much before you create a giant skeleton. At least, to the extent that I don't know the cap.
What the hell is this...
"Oh... good morning, Master Jin"
"... ianna"
"It's rare so early. We'll make breakfast now, so please wait."
I was too surprised to notice Ianna behind me.
Well, I'm letting you have the key to our house, so always Ianna goes in on her own and goes home on her own. Even if I don't realize it, I don't think I can help it.
But Ianna had a glimpse of the kitchen.
Then he raised his voice as surprised.
"What the hell are you talking about?!?
"What?"
"Hey, why is everything out of ingredients!? I went to buy it out yesterday!?
"... eh"
In the kitchen, ingredients that would otherwise have piled up. Speaking of which, I had received a report yesterday that Ianna was going to buy it out, and I should have given her the money for it.
And Ianna's buyout, about once a week. Sometimes things that are easily damaged, such as meat and fish, are bought out the day before or on the same day, but that's mostly how much vegetables and the like go to buy out.
I made a ton of buyouts yesterday, and today, I don't have one.
And Chris, who is wearing shapes and carrots, and his suddenly increasing amount of magic.
……
Given both, there is only one answer.
Chris ate everything. On top of that, it absorbed magic from its ingredients.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha...!
I laughed unexpectedly.
Until now, Chris didn't say he was "hungry," because the magic never dried up so much.
That's it, now.
With the depletion of magic, I ate up all the ingredients to replenish the magic.
What I've been worried about seems ridiculous.
I can't believe how easy it was to replenish magic.
"What are you laughing at, your husband!
"Oh, oh... no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ianna, but I need you to go buy it out today."
"I carried all those ingredients yesterday!
"You have no choice. Chris ate them all."
Momogu, Chris, who is still chewing, tilts his neck.
I consume magic efficiently from ingredients, though I am unlimited in interest in the way.
Still, now, let's rejoice.
Chris will not die.
If you use too much magic, you won't die.
It's just that a lot of ingredients disappear.
"And that's the research result."
"It won't be the results of the research, it'll be just the results. Totally... I've been back in three days, and I look stupid."
Seven days after Chris' disturbance, I told Eleonora I was back.
After that, I continued my research and found that Chris has the ability to eat, but not to excrete. Instead, they consume the magic present in the ingredients themselves, not the nutrients.
Though a large amount of ingredients, the amount of magic that exists should be extremely trace, perhaps some organ in Chris' body has the effect of enhancing that amount of magic - that is the hypothesis of the status quo.
Well, I'm not going to look into this hypothesis. If we're actually going to find out, we're going to need Chris's autopsy. And I don't imitate Chris' autopsy for my own interest.
"So you don't have to worry about your daughter's magic anymore."
"That's the thing. You're making a scene."
"Well, I'll leave my transfer to the lady again in the future. I've been using too much magic for a long time. Well, instead, the engraving has been carved exactly, so don't worry."
"Thank you"
To Eleonora's words, snort.
One of my current concerns is that this has now disappeared. It felt like you were bothering me on your own and solving it on your own, but now I can move on.
Now, I...
Have you decided on your belly?
"Yes."
We're all set.
Even in terms of power, if you can use Chris' magic, it can be further enhanced. Plus, I've already figured out what's in the second half of the magic book that Chris decoded for me.
I'm on the mountain, ready to carry five thousand skeletons, too.
And then...
"We will hold a territorial council"
