Episode 377 Turning shackles into wings (3)
I don’t like being in pain.
It’s the same for everyone, but pain is a feeling that you can never get used to. Adaptation is just a weak consolation to deceive ourselves. In reality, there is no rest whatsoever. At least when I look back on the sense of pain I have experienced so far, I am sure that is the only and sad truth about pain.
So I…
‘Am I in pain again?’
Damian quietly tensed his eyelids. I felt the muscles between my eyebrows slowly distorting. That feeling seemed to offer a little comfort. I’m not dead yet. Slowly open your eyes and check.
‘I…’
was testing a new way of thinking. For the first time, I felt a tsunami-like force shooting out through the sword.
There is no after that.
I don’t remember.
I just felt that the world suddenly became dark. After that, all feeling just disappeared.
‘Could it be that I fainted?’
It seemed like that. Sir Urus must have been quite surprised. So, hurry up and get up….
“Are you awake?”
“….”
It was just before I finally opened my eyes.
A familiar voice tapped Damian’s ears. A voice containing a bit of rebuke and even more mischief.
“majesty?”
Damian barely opened his eyes and responded. Then I was surprised. It was because his own voice was so unfamiliar. mistaken? It wasn’t. His voice was hoarse, as if he had taken a shot of juice made by grinding iron.
I think he just lost consciousness for a moment. But why did my throat become so hoarse? Moreover, why can I hear His Highness the Crown Prince’s voice?
“I…”
Damian struggled to look straight ahead. It was difficult to focus my vision. The prince’s silhouette, visible in three or four layers, shrugged his shoulders.
“I fainted and was carried to the main building of the villa. “With crab foam in your mouth.”
“….”
“Don’t you believe it?”
“….”
Of course.
It’s like foaming at the seams.
I have never been hit to that extent. no. Could it be that he struck a sword strike and at the same time allowed Lord Urus to launch a counterattack? That doesn’t seem to be the case either.
Damian was confused for a moment. The crown prince’s voice slapped his eardrums.
“Tsk. He looks like he doesn’t believe it. It’s a pity. “Is this brother’s words so unreliable?”
“yes.”
“her. “Look at you answering without even breathing.”
“You have to be so mischievous.”
“But it’s all true.”
“Did I faint that badly?”
“uh. “My eyes turn white and my tongue sticks out and trembles.”
“….”
“How pale your complexion was. “I thought you applied some kind of whitening cream.”
“Isn’t my skin naturally a bit white-toned?”
“The white tone is crap. “Do you have A4 blood type?”
“What is A4 paper?”
“There is such a thing. anyway.”
“….”
“You almost died.”
“….”
Damian couldn’t reply. I was able to realize this through accumulated experience. What the crown prince said just now was no joke.
The crown prince’s subsequent question also cut to the point just as sharply.
“But you. “Did you burn your blood sugar with Mana Heart?”
“yes?”
“Right?”
“….”
I can’t help but nod. Damian shook his head, looking at the crown prince with finally clearer vision.
“How did you know that?”
“I told you, right? “This guy knows everything.”
“….”
“Let me take a guess. You must have thought something like this. Blood sugar is also a type of energy, so if your body can’t use it, you can use it in Mana Heart instead. Am I right?”
“…yes.”
“So we tested it using Urus as the target. It was somewhat successful. “I must have lost consciousness right after that.”
“yes. you’re right.”
Damian bit his lip gently.
“It is just as you said. “I thought that if I succeeded in that attempt, I would be of help to Your Majesty again.”
“help?”
“yes. “It’s help that does one person’s entire job.”
“Because you won’t be a patient anymore?”
“That’s right.”
Damian spoke honestly.
“If only I could freely lower my blood sugar using swordsmanship and mental techniques, or rather use that as a source of strength, I would no longer be a diabetic.”
“Hmm.”
“So I…”
“Hmm.”
“….”
“The idea was really good. “There is one problem.”
“…What’s the problem?”
“If that thought occurred to you, you should have told me first.”
Rakiel’s point struck Damian. His pointed rebuke followed.
“I understand what you were thinking when you attempted that. I’m somewhat proud of it. But still. “If you were going to try something like that, couldn’t you have let me know first?”
“That is…”
“If only you had told me. uh? “The test could have been conducted in a much safer situation.”
“But Your Highness.”
“huh. say it.”
“I didn’t want to disturb you, Your Majesty.”
“uh. “I didn’t want to make this busy body’s schedule even busier. What does this mean?”
“yes.”
“Oh my, thank you so much that tears will fall.”
Rachiel burst out laughing.
He was able to fully understand what Damian was thinking when he tried to test a new mental method on his own. Perhaps they are saying that they are trying to be considerate of this side. He probably didn’t know that his sword strike would produce such power on his first attempt. They probably didn’t even know that he would faint as a result.
Rachiel’s bitter smile deepened slightly.
“okay. To be honest, I’ve been really busy these days. At night, he is busy treating the princess’s shoulder, during the day, he is exhausted from learning footwork, and in his spare time, he handles the backlog of work at the villa’s oriental medicine clinic. In the meantime, I had to visit hospitalized patients and outpatients from time to time.”
“So I…”
“Tsk. I know. “I know everything.”
“….”
“I understand that you were considerate of me being so busy. But in the end, your actions and results today disturbed me much more. The princess’s shoulder treatment, which was going well, was stopped at one cue. “I ended up like this when I would normally have had some time to sleep.”
“…sorry.”
Damian’s bitten lower lip turned white. Rakiel’s bitter smile became even deeper.
“no it’s okay. You didn’t do it on purpose. But you’ll understand from next time, right?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
sorry.
sorry.
I had no idea it would be this much of a nuisance. no. Saying that you didn’t know cannot and should not be an excuse. Thinking like that, Damian truly reflected.
That much made Rakiel happy.
“okay. “I wish I knew.”
thanks.
sincerely.
I had no idea you were going through that much trouble alone. no. Saying you didn’t know can’t and shouldn’t be a reason. Because it’s just proof that I’ve been indifferent to you all this time.
However, Rakiel did not dare to express those feelings out loud. It was too cringy for that. Instead, he diagnosed the process and results of Damian’s attempts on his body.
“Well, anyway, I’ll end the story here. “Did I take a pulse while you were unconscious?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“You burned off most of the blood sugar in your body at once?”
“That…”
“It probably wasn’t the intended result. You just thought that you would consume blood sugar through Mana Heart. For that, a forced flow of mana would have been created in the body through a series of movements.”
“you’re right. Thanks to you, I pushed my blood sugar level to Mana Heart….”
“Without any time to adjust or anything, it was all in one hit.”
“….”
“Right?”
“…Yes, Your Highness.”
“okay. Through that, we can infer two major flaws in the new mental method you tried.”
“Do you mean a major defect?”
“uh.”
Rakiel said, spreading his index finger.
“first. It is possible to push blood sugar into the mana heart through a series of movements, but it is difficult to control the amount of blood sugar input. So, all the blood sugar in the body is burned off at once.”
“you’re right.”
“Is it difficult to control your blood sugar by splitting it and burning it?”
“It seems impossible.”
“also. “You who have tested it with your own body will know best.”
“…sorry.”
“no no. There’s nothing to be sorry about. Because it is a force majeure part. So, the second defect to be diagnosed.”
Rakiel extended his middle finger additionally.
“This method burns all blood sugar as soon as it is used, and as a result, it can only be used for a limited purpose as a self-destructor. because. “As soon as you use it, you’ll get a hypoglycemic shock.”
His diagnosis was true.
Technology that cannot control output is useless. What if the user’s life is at risk immediately after use? It becomes nothing more than a self-destruction device.
Damian’s shoulders slumped slightly after hearing Rachiel’s diagnosis.
“As expected.”
“yes. “Do you regret it?”
“To be honest, yes.”
“I guess so. So, I would like to say that it is still too early to feel regretful.”
“yes?”
What does this mean again?
Damian raised his head and looked up at the crown prince. Rachiel showed an unexpected smile.
“If there is a defect, you can fix it.”
“What you’re saying is that you can fix it…”
“Uh. “I can fix the two problems I just diagnosed.”
“How do you mean?”
Damian’s heart beat slightly without realizing it. In fact, he was very disappointed.
A new way of thinking. A heart method that burns blood sugar efficiently and uses it as a source of strength. I thought that if I succeeded, I could be of help to the crown prince again. But things didn’t go as planned. Reality was colder than expected.
But the crown prince said something unexpected. You can correct the flaws revealed in your new way of thinking. How? I got curious.
The crown prince said.
“Let me point this out. “The biggest problem with the mind method of consuming blood sugar was that Manahat burns blood sugar in one go, right?”
“yes.”
“It’s probably because you developed your Mana Heart too much. In other words, it is because the capacity of Mana Heart is too large. So, Manahat can hold all the incoming blood sugar at once and burn it off.”
“Then…”
“It’s simple. “We can reduce the individual capacity by dispersing the mana hearts.”
“yes?”
“Let’s split Manahat into several pieces. “Like a 6-cylinder, 8-cylinder or 12-cylinder engine.”
“Yes?”
“Multi Manahat. I don’t know?”
“….”
I do not know.
This is the first time.
The prince’s words continued into Damian’s dazed ears.
“Well, well. “It’s not a common technique.”
“There is such a technique… actually?”
“uh.”
“Can I learn?”
“maybe? “There is a family that specializes in multi-manahat.”
Rachiel said, secretly recalling the setting in the novel Demon Sword Emperor.
“The strongest shield of the empire. The gloomy border white spirit. “You just have to go there and learn.”
