The next morning, Lucy showed up in the dining room looking like she was suffering from a hangover, so I just asked about Phyllia's illness.

Lucy says over a simple breakfast I made (porridge with wheat and eyeballs).

"I don't know until I see it, but I guess it's because I used magic"

"Could that be..."

"The recoil that Solon borrowed his magic from Philia."

Lucy said she was rushed, but it was a shock to me.

To contain Philia's outburst of magic, I connected Philia to a magic circuit.

As a result, I was able to get a magic supply from Philia, which helped me considerably in Necropolis.

Especially in the fight against Garrels. It was like Philia consciously poured magic into me, and thanks to that, I could win.

However, that is essentially no different from the fact that the Altes used the children of the Demon King as tools to crush them and seize their magic.

So I was worried that it would have a negative effect on Philia's body, but I had a bad prediction.

Did Lucy notice my dark face, pounding on my shoulder?

"Don't worry, Solon. I'm sure it's not that serious. Because there's a way to restore Philia."

"Is that true?

"Believe your master. Than that...... Yesterday, why did you come home from my room on your own?

"That's because Dr. Lucy fell asleep."

"Then you could have slept with me on the side"

"You say the same thing as Master Philia."

I said it out of the blue.

Shit.

Lucy stares at me with crimson eyes.

"Could it be that you slept with him at the end of the filia?

"Uh, Philia seemed ill yesterday, too, and the... I couldn't help but..."

"I'm really glad for you."

and Lucy decided.

But Philia had a pretty high fever, and she fell asleep as soon as she got back to bed, so it doesn't mean anything in particular happened at all.

When I woke up, "I can sleep safely because Solon is next door," Philia said and smiled.

"Welcome.... I need to cure you of Philia soon"

For Lucy, Philia is a grand apprentice, and a relative.

I guess I'm worried.

If I thought so, Lucy seemed worried about something else.

"Keep it up and Philia will keep sweetening to Solon..."

"You don't have to worry about that"

"I care! I told you before, didn't I? Solon can't do mundane things with his disciples."

He said he didn't do anything mundane.

"Anyway! Shall we go check on Philia?"

When we took our seats in the dining room, we headed upstairs to the room.

When I knock on the room and open it, Clarice is peeking into Philia worried.

Phyllia looked surprisingly fine, though she was blushing and twirling in her blanket.

However, they don't change that it's high fever.

"Dear Solon... Is it a fashionable cold after all?

"No..."

When I glanced at Lucy's face, Lucy nodded back.

It still seems like I'm the cause.

I explained the situation to Phyllia and Clarice.

Which means Philia might be getting a high fever because of me taking magic from Philia.

When I bowed my head, Clarice panicked.

"Oh no... Master Solon used his magic to protect Master Philia, didn't he? Then it's not Master Solon's fault."

"But... Master Philia is actually suffering..."

"I don't blame Solon or anything. Yeah, I might be happy."

That said, Philia shrugged. She laughed, and when she got up a little, she stared at me with her moist eyes.

"I... have finally been able to help Solon. Until now, all I had to do was get Solon to protect me, but now Solon uses my powers."

"... I'm glad you took care of Dear Philia"

"I'm not paying attention, I'm really glad. Besides... it feels so good to have a solon and magic circuit connected. I feel like I can be one with Solon."

That said, Phyllia let her eyes shine naughtily.

Either your face is red because of the high fever or you're shy?

My pulse rises and I feel my cheeks get hot.

And, suddenly, Lucy clapped her hand and rang.

Seeing it, Lucy swelled her cheeks and looked quite in a diagonal mood.

"Yes, that's it. Lowering Phyllia's fever is easy. 'Cause it wasn't a lot of magic that Solon took away."

"Really?

"Normally, it's a fair amount of magic, but from the enormous amount of magic power of the demon king's descendants, it should be only a fraction of it. Especially since the blood of the demon king's descendants is thick."

Was it?

I'm a little relieved.

Lucy continues.

"Phyllia is heating up because she drained herself by using magic circuits that she can't be. It's a special symptom, but all you have to do to cure it is drink some herb-fried water and get some rest. Just..."

"Just?"

"The medicinal herbs you need are quite valuable."

If you ask me, I say that that herb called "Janagiran" has not even been placed in a drug store in Teito.

It's like a grass that doesn't grow when it's climate in the heart of the Empire.

Besides, the effectiveness is only as good as restoring depletion due to the connection of the magic circuit with the outside world, so there is not enough use to dare sell it.

I wondered what was going on, and I remember speaking of which, there was a ruin called the Treasury of Herbs.

Its ruins, the Corinthian Gardens, have a quite different climate from the ground, depending on the hierarchy.

That's why weird plants live here.

Lucy heard it and punched her hand with a pound.

"It's settled. Let's go find Solon and me."

"Huh? Will the teacher come too?

"It's decided, isn't it? I'm taking a day off from my magic school lecture."

With that said, Lucy snapped, "Solon and I are alone exploring the ruins..." and laughed happily fuzzily.

Philia said, "I like it," and she looked at me with jealousy.

I laughed and stroked Philia's head.

"When you're feeling better, next time, we'll go with you on a ruin exploration. He said he was taking you to the beginner temple of Lenin."

"... Solon. It's a promise, isn't it?

"Yes."

When I smiled, Philia also responded, "Yeah," loosening her cheeks.

"Come on, let's just say we're going to Corinth Gardens!

When Lucy took my arm, she laughed.
