Chapter 354
After that.
With the help of Master Tay, I immersed myself in the training to weave the eighth Infinity Circle.
Well, I didn’t do anything grandiose just because I was practicing.
I just learned a new cycle.
“Until there. Let’s finish our actual training here today.”
About 8 hours passed like that.
Tay-sama announced the end of training.
“yes. Thank you for your effort.”
I immediately lay down on the floor as if I was about to collapse.
Breathing is extremely short, and sweat is pouring like rain.
A near-perfect exhaustion.
It is mentally and physically limiting.
licking.
Miho came up to me and licked my face.
The eyes that look at me are filled with worry.
“are you okay.”
He smiled and stroked Miho’s hair lightly.
No matter how exhausted it is, there is nothing wrong with moving your hands.
Miho rubbed her face in my hand and acted aegyo.
Seeing my expression, as if he was relieved, he took a worried look.
“Don’t use mana for about 8 hours from now.”
Master Tay came up to me, looked down at me and said.
“You know why? Because you know best how you feel.”
“yes.”
As I said, my body is already at its limit.
Among them, it is not an exaggeration to say that mental strength has exceeded its limits.
There is a very high possibility that aftereffects will occur if mana is used in this state.
Unless you have no choice but to use magic, you shouldn’t use it.
“Here during the break. Read these.”
With mana concentrated in his fingers, Tei-sama nodded moderately.
Then, books began to fly from all over the library.
“First of all, 10 books. Eight hours is enough, right?”
“Five hours is enough to remember.”
“okay? Well here. 4 more volumes. Read it all in 8 hours.”
“yes.”
Tei moved mana again and moved four more books.
In this way, a total of 14 books were prepared on the desk.
“You can read it here, or you can go outside and read it. Do as you please.”
Books in Danteroa’s Book can be taken outside.
Perhaps because it is much more spacious in terms of occupancy than Mimir’s Book, it is possible to materialize the book.
“Then I’ll get some fresh air and read it outside.”
Also to take a shower.
I think it would be better to read outside.
beautiful person-!
Miho cried.
“Miho, do you want to go with me too?”
It was an expression of his will to go with him.
“okay. Come with me.”
It’s not like Miho would disturb me.
While I’m reading, I’ll just lie on my lap, so what’s the problem?
“Then I’ll see you in eight hours.”
I slowly got up from my seat and took out ‘A.S.’
Ace’s unique languid sensation filled my entire body.
“Who is the princess?”
“Well, let’s leave it like that for a while.”
I’m concentrating, but I don’t want to disturb you.
Earlier, I also said that I would concentrate a little during the day.
It would be right to leave it like that for a day or so.
“okay?”
The corners of Tay’s mouth rose slightly.
“If a gumiho goes out with you… … This is me and the princess. Are there only two of you?”
It was clear that he was thinking bad thoughts.
Well, if I had to say it was a bad idea, it would be just a little bit of a joke… … .
“I’m not saying don’t bother. Please leave it like that for a day or so.”
I would like to leave it alone for at least a day.
“Why am I touching the princess?”
Tei-sama replied with an expressionless expression unlike usual.
“don’t worry. I’ll leave it alone for a while.”
The word ‘for a while’ was oddly frightening.

Go out of Danteroa’s Book.
I was reading the books Tay gave me.
[From: Captain Charles]
I got a call from Captain Charles.
“I got a call.”
I answered the phone before it even rang once.
―Are you getting it right away? There, isn’t it 4 in the morning?
“yes. It is 4:21 in the morning.”
I was somewhat surprised by my quick reception.
―That’s not what the person who called at this hour said. sit down?
No, you weren’t surprised by the quick reception, were you surprised that you were awake at this time?
“Didn’t I tell you last time? I’m a body that doesn’t need to sleep separately.”
I think I mentioned something about A.S.
—… … did you? hmm. I think I may have heard
There is a bit of angst in the voice.
―Well, to be honest, I don’t remember. Doesn’t that mean it doesn’t bother you to sleep at all?
“yes.”
I was interrupted from studying, but that doesn’t matter anyway.
“What are you doing?”
Judging by the fact that you called at this hour, there must be something serious going on.
Compared to that, my concentration is just a good problem.
– Well, it’s nothing.
insignificant voice.
-The current head of the Mafia. The head of the moderates died 20 minutes ago.
However, the content of those words was quite insignificant.
“… … Bolzalo is dead?”
-uh.
It was a much more serious matter than I expected.
“Is it the work of the gangsters?”
―I can’t conclude yet, but it looks like it.
The death of the current mafia head is the same as saying that the status of the moderates within the mafia has weakened.
“… … It’s bothering me.”
And as the position of the moderate weakens, the position of the hardy rises.
“Isn’t it difficult to solve problems within the mafia like this?”
In other words, the picture of the moderates purging the hardy, which we expected, can no longer emerge.
-It will be difficult. Although the second person is handling the situation as much as possible. There is a lot of agitation internally.
“For now, I’m going to focus on strengthening my internal stability.”
-maybe.
The second-in-command of the moderate faction will first try to establish internal stability in the organization in order to become the complete first-in-command.
If that happens, the strong faction will have no choice but to be neglected to some extent.
Of course, the chimerization experiment will also be postponed.
– I guess I’ll have to do it myself.
And if the investigation is postponed, the fact of research on the chimerization experiment itself may disappear altogether.
No, it will most likely disappear.
It takes about two weeks for the moderate faction to strengthen its stability.
Two weeks is more than enough time to completely wipe out the lab and close all records.
Then it becomes difficult in many ways.
Of course, the possibility that the data we have secured this time will be useless is not 0%.
However, it can also be said that it is fabricated evidence and that it is being manipulated on the contrary.
In order to prevent that, Captain Charles needs to act himself.
“Are you okay?”
-what?
“Anti Magia. Destroyer. A strongman in the mafia. You have to deal with all three at the same time.”
Wouldn’t that be too risky?
-what. Are you worried about me now?
The captain’s laughter was heard over the receiver.
-don’t worry. who am i Even if you attack with a dozen of those guys, it won’t work for me.
It was a confident laugh.
―And what am I going to do alone like an idiot? I’m thinking of calling in support in my own way.
“Support?”
There are only two people who can support Captain Charles right now.
father.
And Kim Kang-in.
“I wouldn’t be your father… … . Are you Kangin Kim?”
– Exactly.
That’s right.
“With Kim Kang-in’s support, nothing dangerous will ever happen.”
-what. Are you giving that guy, Kangin Kim, higher than me?
The voice seemed to be saying, ‘I’m being sarcastic.’
“It can’t be. Of course, I see Captain Charles more highly.”
Actually, I think the two of them are on the same line.
This is because the facts don’t matter.
“why. There is a saying that there are wings on the back of a tiger, right? It feels like that.”
– I am a tiger. Kim Kang-in is the wing?
“Yes.”
– Hmm. okay?
There was a smile in Captain Charles’ voice.
-You mean I’m a tiger?
I think it was a very pleasing analogy.
―What, what to do? Kim Kang-in is the best as a backup. Although the main is a little lacking.
“… … haha.”
At that point, I decided to save the answer. After responding to such words, I do not know what kind of aftermath will come back later.
It’s good to just laugh at this awkwardly.
-Oh yeah. So that’s the point. Do you think I need to share some information with Kim Kang-in?
information.
All the information I got while researching Italy this time.
I meant to share it.
-Are you fine?
“yes. of course.”
It’s not anyone else, it’s Kim Kang-in. what’s the problem
‘In the first place, I was planning on going to tell you in the near future.’
Captain Charles explained to me. effort was reduced.
-okay. Then I’ll tell you without hesitation.
Captain Charles let out a small saliva.
―But, actually, I don’t know if I can explain it well. Things are so complicated… … .
“It will be fine.”
Even if Captain Charles’ explanation was bizarre, it was clear that Kim Kang-in would understand it perfectly.
And if there’s anything you really don’t understand, you can contact me.
―It’s a bit burdensome even if you trust me too much… … .
There is a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
It seems that you took my words as saying that you trust Captain Charles.
-anyway. okay. I’ll try.
I didn’t bother to correct the misunderstanding.
Because good is good
-Then I’ll stop. You don’t have to sleep, or whatever, sleep a little. people need to sleep
“yes. I will.”
I really can’t sleep though.
I didn’t bother saying ‘No, you don’t have to sleep’ to the person who was worried about me, so I just answered in moderation.
-okay. Then really… … .
“Oh, wait.”
before hanging up the phone.
Something came up.
-why?
“Can I ask you a favor?”
-ask?
“yes.”
-What?
“I would like to ask you to do some research.”
-inspection? what research?
I paused for a while and said.
“You know the dragon soul used in the experiment.”
-uh. that. why?
The captain’s voice hardened.
“Where did they get that soul? Are there any additional souls like that? I would like to ask you to investigate him.”
Top-secret information that does not even exist in laboratory data.
The source of the dragon’s soul.
You have to figure it out.
* * *
Italy.
Milan.
A secret meeting room in the basement of a mansion owned by the mafia.
The interior of a bleak room that is guarded by tight security.
Three men were looking at each other with different expressions.
“It seems a bit different from what I heard.”
A slender man with a dark impression.
Jack, the leader of Anti Magia.
He was frowning.
“… … okay. Let’s talk about it sometime. Let’s hear what you’re saying.”
Next to Jack was a man with a huge body in contrast to Jack, with his arms crossed and a murderous gaze.
“It would be better to be prepared and say it. If your excuses aren’t good enough, I’ll just break your skull.”
Destroyer’s leader.
Destroyer.
His body has grown even larger than that of two and a half years ago.
“That is scary. What you say doesn’t sound like a joke at all.”
Receiving the gaze of the two, a blond man smiled broadly.
Luxury items worn all over the body and a neat appearance.
The name of this man who looks like a successful businessman is Marco.
He is the representative of the mafia gangster faction.
“Does this sound like a joke?”
Destroyer clenched his fist and lightly punched the air.
Whoa-!
The air exploded with a terrifying roar.
It was as if a small bomb had exploded.
“Whether you can’t use mana or not, breaking your head right here is no problem.”
Marco’s expression hardened slightly.
“Your fiery temper is still the same.”
However, that expression was short-lived.
He immediately returned with a smile on his face.
“Let’s leave the small talk there.”
The head of Anti-Magia, Jack, put on a pod, leaned his chin on it, and frowned.
“I didn’t come all the way here to listen to small talk.”
If you have time for such small talk, start explaining the situation properly.
It was the words and actions that had such a meaning.
“I mean, they both have the same temperament.”
Marco laughed.
“Well, okay. I didn’t mean to talk about this too long. Say it straight-forward.”
Marco took a cigar out of his pocket and put it to his mouth.
“The reason you guys are running wild this time. It must be because one of our labs collapsed, right?”
“Precisely because of the destruction of the laboratory, we are in a situation where we cannot receive the items we were supposed to hand over.”
Marco lit it with a Zippo lighter in his hand.
“Hueup. Whoa.”
Cigarette smoke billowed between the three men.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
The man opened and closed the Zippo lighter in his hand.
“That laboratory is a sub-laboratory that studies prototypes. Because the main is separate.”
Daughter, chin! Daughter, chin!
The distinctive sound of a Zippo lighter opening and closing filled the room.
“The Chimera Dragon, which I decided to transfer, will transfer it in time, so don’t worry.”
