Marquis' Express Butler

179. Adding Performance to Fate (2)

Before the ceremony, I firmly prepared myself.

I told the gatekeeper to never open the door, no matter who comes in.

“Take orders. ”

“If you make the maids go crazy like in the afternoon, it won't be fun. ”

“…… Sorry. ”

“Anyone can make a mistake once, but it's not the same story twice. Be good.”

“Old!”

Of course, Sapiella's infamy is never to be found, but Confucius Hamel is quite likely. You can come here and get drunk and smoke.

But Confucius Hamel is fine. I already know that I am a Mana user, so I can go around it roughly.

I locked the door firmly.

Turning around, Chris and Arwen are looking at me. Another arrangement was to bring Arwen in. Sapiella's infant enters her chambers, and she's free to go.

“I'm sorry for calling so late. You must be tired.”

“No, it's okay. ”

“You can speak comfortably. Chris is my friend. ”

“Friend?”

Arwen looks back and forth between me and Chris. You're a little surprised to have a friend you don't even know as a childhood friend.

“I'm also helping Su-hyeon. Anyway, I'll see you often. Say hello. ”

Arwen greets him awkwardly first, and Chris is gravely greeted. It may take some time to get closer.

Arwen carefully asks.

“But what do you need help with? I brought plenty of clothes, like you said... ”

A man's garment hangs on her arm. I pointed to Chris with my jaw.

“Let's see if Chris can get comfortable. ”

“Chris, would you excuse me for a moment? ”

“Of course.”

Chris got up from his seat and opened his hands. Arwen looks at his top and bottom with a careful hand. She nods.

“I think I'll be fine. ”

“Then let's get back to it. You can use the shower next door. ”

Chris picked up his clothes and disappeared into the next room. I explained to Arwen in the meantime.

“We're going to have a ritual today. That's why I called for help. ”

“What…… ritual? ”

“You know I'm coming, right? ”

Arwen nods once. I was serious about what I said.

“Chris has a bit of a problem with his error circuitry, so I'm going to fix it. A higher-quality error user can solve other error users' problems. ”

“Oh, I see. So…. ”

“You may experience blood vomiting, convulsions or other problems along the way. I need to stay conscious, so I need your help with something. ”

Arwen smiles nervously. It was she who was confident in caring for someone.

“Leave it to me. I'll make sure it's all right.”

“I'm relieved. I'm the next Maid of Honor. ”

Arwen smiles beautifully, the door opens and Chris comes out.

Even though the arms and legs are loose and the waist doesn't fit, it is wrapped with a strap, but the completion of fashion is the face. I thought it would look good even if I was a jerk.

Opening Manacles involves tremendous pain and changes in the body. If I didn't change, the clothes I was wearing could get messy, so I prepared my own clothes.

“I explained it to Arwen. We're all set now. Preparation of the mind?”

When I asked, Chris nodded gracefully. I pointed my hand at the bed.

“Lie down.”

Chris immediately lay in bed. I started to feel tense on my face.

“Why are you so nervous? What a shame to be called a mystery merchant. ”

“I'm not afraid of pain or anything. I wonder what happens... if it fails. ”

“Why is that? ”

“I've searched and tested dozens and hundreds of ways to use magic again. But none of it worked. I wonder if I'll be able to resume again if I fail this time. ”

I nodded.

It is said that failure is also a habit. In other words, he's putting his last hope in me now.

Of course, I could laugh at that. Of course I plan to meet that expectation.

“Here we go."

Chris took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and I put out all the lights except the candles around the bed.

“I think there are two ways to recover circuits. First, the sequential regeneration of circuits from the end of the body to the loss. ”

I mean two by adding stops to the fingers holding the sword.

“And second, from the end of the body to the loss of limb at once. In this case, the circuitry is so thin that you can't do anything, but you can find your senses. ”

“Maybe you'll take a second option, right? ”

I think Chris is reading my mind. I knew he was a smart guy. I nodded.

“First, you have to let go of the doubt you have. And you know the drill, so it's only a matter of time before the circuits are tapered. ”

“Do as you please. ”

“Close your eyes and concentrate. Keep holding on to my energy. I'm going to make a passageway that connects the short circuit from the hand. ”

I held his hand. Meanwhile, Arwen is fully prepared. It was all warm water and a few towels, but it is as solid as a thousand soldiers.

I looked at the liking information printed in the status window.

When I first met him, he was 50, but now he's up to 12. 62 is an enormous figure.

Although it was a short time, his relationship with him is a radical situation. If you succeed in the ceremony today, I will be more than a lifesaver to him.

Maybe there's a connection at once.

“Arwen. Don't panic, we don't know what's going to happen. Stay calm. You know?”

“Yes!”

I immediately raised Mana and started spilling her into my grasp.

At that moment, Chris' body bent like a bow. I convulsed as if a fish had come out of the water.

“Huff……! ”

“Hold on.”

Arwen stabilizes Chris, and I continue to spill Mana.

In a long time, his Mana circuits, which also met a very innocent Mana, began to go crazy. Chris' eyes turned pale, and his mouth was drooling.

At this rate, you may lose your mind.

I hesitated for a moment.

Once you lose your mind, you can no longer proceed with consciousness. Chris should feel my Mana, because it is impossible to induce without consciousness.

“Don't stop, don't... Keep going! ”

Chris held on to his harsh breathing and shouted, "Without a worry, I immediately reopened Mana."

Whoo-hoo!

Mysterious blue light that started in my body began to rush into my hands with his short arm. Chris takes the towel from Arwen's hand and puts it in his mouth. To endure the pain.

After a while, I could feel my Mana reaching out like a thread piercing through his sheath.

From now on, it matters.

The thread connected now is temporary. If you want to immerse this permanently like a nerve, you need to pour out concentrated Mana momentarily.

A larger passageway is needed to spill concentrated Mana. But now that there is no such passageway, we must control it with great finesse.

If you make one mistake, the thread will burst and cause massive internal injuries. It could cost Chris his life.

So I closed my eyes and raised my concentration to the extreme.

Tupperware!

The sound of Chris' clothes ripping, muscle twisting, is a sign of the powerful gush of Mana pouring from my heart.

And after a while.

I withdrew my hand. Suddenly, Chris groans and stops.

“There you go.”

“Huff, huff... huff. ”

Your body is covered in sweat. However, every time Arwen passes, the cold sweat is wiped clean. Although slightly gross, Chris was able to open his eyes again.

“Are you okay?"

“…… I thought I understood what it meant to say that people don't die easily. ”

“I'm not in my right mind. I'm joking. Hmm, looks like nothing else matters. Hey, Arwen. ”

“It's okay. Excuse me for a moment. ”

I used a towel covered in water to tidy up Chris' appearance. Now that I have to talk about magic, I've sent Arwen back.

I locked the door again and approached the bed.

“I told Arwen I was coming, so I think you'd better get it straight. But Mana? Can you feel it? ”

“Now we have to try. ”

The seated Chris takes a deep breath. Soon he bore a Demibeast, and a very light blue light began to move along his Demibeast.

His eyes suddenly opened.

“Oh, my God!"

I couldn't complete the ritual with Demibeast, but seeing Chris looking at me like I couldn't believe his trembling hands, my consciousness seems to be working.

“You did it.”

“Mana... I can feel Mana! I can feel it now! Hahahahaha!”

“Don't yell too loud. I don't want you to get me wrong. ”

Now that Arwen's gone, there's only two men in this room. Strange noises should not leak out. I reached out to him and laid my shoulders down.

“You can see my circles now that you have a small amount, but managing Mana, right? See for yourself if I'm bluffing. ”

“ ……. ”

His expression became serious.

I'm nervous because I think there might be something beyond the norm that's theoretically impossible in front of me.

“Let my Mana come in. It's very resistant.”

I removed every barrier of Mana that stretched from my hands to my heart, and made it easy for his weak Mana to enter.

Soon, I felt his Mana.

And as soon as his Mana touched my heart, he was shocked again.

“No way... how can a circle be in your heart? ”

I can't believe the Master of the Mystery Conference stuttered. This is so fresh.

“What are you so surprised about? ”

“As far as I'm concerned, you're the only person in the world with Mana Circle in their heart. I met a lot of talented people in the tower, but all of their circles were on fire. ”

“Hahaha. I'm kind of special, though. ”

I smiled without a big deal. With the feeling and surprise of feeling Mana again, Chris' eyes began to gleam.

Your opponent's liking reaches its maximum to create a Tie loop. Even if your liking goes down, once you create a relationship, it never breaks.

What? I'm sorry.

A little behind the strain of his gaze, I checked his status window.

Magical properties have been created. You are now a Grade F rank, but you will quickly rank up in conjunction with Training and Healing.

Status messages are impressive, by the way.

“Glorious reproduction. ”

I don't know what kind of future he was dreaming of, but it felt good to rehabilitate one of the desperate wizards.

Above all, his liking became 100. The rings of fate are random.

In other words, I have another connection.

Utilizing his‘ magical ’abilities, business items began to touch the brain endlessly. The more I piled up, the darker the smile on my mouth.
