Chapter 59 – Conception (Part 2 Epilogue)

000

“What… Is this?”

After Cleon finished taking a shower, he went to his room-.

No, going back to what was originally Count Gortian’s bedroom.

There, Iona is crushed by Galatea, who has transformed into a human.

Was lying on the ground.

Luvera sat down on the bed yawning as if she was not awake.

He was doing nothing with his eyes half open, his face out of focus.

“Hey Galatea. Wake up.”

No matter how much it was, Cleon felt sorry for Iona.

If you go up to her and raise Galatea lying on top.

Galatea speaks with a slightly downcast expression, unlike usual.

“Mo, your body is heavy.”

“It’s the same as usual.”

To Cleon’s answer, who accepted Galatea’s words as they were.

The incarnation of the demonic sword was laid on the bed with a slight pout on its face.

“It’s not like that… Should I say that my whole body is swollen? Should I say that there is a hole in the vessel that holds the magic power…”

“What…?”

His voice was quiet, but what he said was quite serious.

For Cleon, Galatea is the one and only partner.

Such a partner is a ‘magic sword’ whose life force is ‘magic power’.

If there is a problem with the magic state of such a demonic sword.

In other words, it was that there was a problem with her life too.

“Hey, since when did that happen?”

Cleon talks while looking into Galatea’s face.

“…Since the day before yesterday, after contact with the Beast.”

“Why didn’t you tell me…”

Cleon wrinkles his eyes and touches Galatea’s forehead.

It’s normal for normal humans to have a fever when there’s something wrong with their body.

Galatea was not human, but a body made entirely of magic.

So, her body is still cold-

“…Yes?”

It was warm.

It didn’t mean that it was hot because it had a fever.

I felt the body temperature like a normal human.

Cleon opened his eyes wide as if he was a little surprised.

He woke up Iona, who had passed out under Galatea.

“Galatea-san’s physical condition…Is it strange?”

Iona tilts her head at Cleon’s words.

“Yes… First of all, Iona is also a mixed blood of a holy sword and a human. I thought you would know more about this condition than me.”

Iona nodded at Cleon’s words and slowly examined Galatea’s body.

Then, as if following the flow of magical power, he slowly moved his hands from head to toe.

The hand then stopped midway above the abdomen.

“Here… Yes. There is a strange clump of magic here.”

“Is contact with the beast the cause?”

At Cleon’s words, Iona made a troubled face and shook her head.

“I don’t know… At least I’ve never experienced anything like this…”

“Let Barisada see it.”

When Ruba, who came to her senses at some point, staggered her body and left her room.

Cleon looked at Iona and talked.

“Then why did she fall under Galatea?”

“That, that’s… Galatea-san was lying on the wall in the shape of a sword, but she groaned. I was worried and went closer…”

“It suddenly changed into a human form, and as a result, it was crushed and crushed.”

At that, Iona smiled wryly and Cleon sighed and shook his head.

Ugh… An unpleasant moan came from Galatea.

Then after a while

The door opens and Ruba enters.

And a girl who looks just like Lubera if she loses her age by about 10 years.

When Iona and Cleon open their eyes wide at the sight of a girl they are seeing for the first time.

“Bar-Barisada. Rubera is indebted to you…!”

Black hair black eyes.

And white skin.

The limbs were short, but encased in black tights.

On her body, Rubera’s original maid outfit seemed to have been reduced in size.

Looking at Barisada like that, Ruba seemed to have a little complicated mind.

Little has been revealed about what form the Demonic Sword’s incarnation takes.

But most of them are influenced by their psychological state…

Perhaps Ruba himself had some idea of ​​Barisada’s appearance.

“Barisada. The one lying over there is a demonic sword of the same kind as you.”

“Yeah, I know.”

At Rubera’s words, Barisada nodded and approached Galatea who was lying on the bed.

Cleon and Iona left their seats and moved to Rubera’s side.

“Is it possible to manifest a demonic sword because you have enough magic power?”

“Yes… It’s thanks to you. In other words, I’m a child between you and me.”

If you talk about Ruba with an expressionless expression.

Embarrassed by that, Cleon frowned.

“Kuh… What are you talking about?”

“What. Half of your mana… That is, a body made of semen.”

As if enjoying Cleon’s reaction, Lubera looked at it with her lips raised.

Cleon, on the other hand, realizes that Rubera is making fun of herself and closes her eyes to keep her poker face.

In contrast-

“Whoa, whoa… It’s Laurie! It’s Laurie Ruba!”

The figure of Iona dying happily next to her.

Seeing Iona like Ruba, she only put on a slightly embarrassed expression.

After Shotacon, Lolicon? . There is no way to save them. Iona.

In the meantime, Barisada examines Galatea’s body here and there.

She just tilted her head as if she didn’t know.

“What is it… I should say that I feel two souls in one body.”

“Two souls?”

At Barisada’s words, the three of them look like they don’t know each other.

Barisada leaves Galatea and looks back at the three of them.

Then she carefully opened her mouth.

“It seems that the soul inside of Galatea-san was stimulated by something and began to act.”

“The soul contained within…”

Cleon thinks hot and recalls the previous incident.

The case of dissolving and absorbing the body of a woman in the Enforcement Division who controlled Albain with magic.

Could it be that at that time, she even absorbed her soul?

If so, that’s a big deal.

If such a human soul absorbs magical energy inside Galatea and develops its strength…

That alone could be dangerous.

“Cleon? Perdia is here…?”

It’s like getting in the middle of Cleon’s accident.

Cleon turns around at the sound of Quon’s voice outside the room.

Think for a moment, then open the door.

There stood the image of Perdia saying good morning with Quon.

“Good morning, Mr. Cleon. I think I’ll be busy today, so I’d like to see John An before the councilor starts…”

Saying that, look inside the room.

Rubera, Iona, and Barisada.

Even Galatea lying on the bed.

When she sees four women in Cleon’s room, she suddenly opens her eyes wide.

“Last night… Was it 5P?”

“No… Wrong. I’m sure there were four people in total, but…”

She corrected her perdia, who seemed to have misunderstood her something, and took her into her room.

“If it’s okay, won’t you take care of Galatea?”

At Cleon’s words, Per Dia tilted her head.

“I’m sorry. I’m not very knowledgeable about swords…”

“No, it’s okay. Please ask as if you are looking at an ordinary human.”

Then Perdia nodded and approached Galatea, who examined her body.

Then, it seemed to take a while for something.

She placed her hand on her stomach and closed her eyes as if reading something from her.

It is possible because she is knowledgeable about the human body, including the vital parts of the human body, in order to kill efficiently.

Whole body scanning using magical powers.

When the soft magical light gently sweeps across Galatea’s body.

After a while, Perdia let out a small sigh and smiled.

After that, he looked at Cleon and talked.

“Congratulations, Mr. Cleon.”

“…?”

Perdia was telling Cleon while blushing a little.

“The gestation is coming.”

001

“You’re pregnant.”

After hearing Perdia’s story, she takes Galatea to Lyla.

Layla looked at Galatea through her magical poetry and spoke.

Although her head floated a little as if she had just woken up.

Even so, her intellectual curiosity and magical skills seemed to have gone nowhere.

She was watching Galatea’s ship carefully.

Galatea, the person in charge of her, only narrowed her eyes as if she didn’t understand.

“I, the demonic sword, am pregnant…? It can’t be.”

“Didn’t you eat something wrong?”

Layla said that with a slightly dissatisfied tone somewhere.

However, Layla’s words only reminded Cleon of the incident.

“…Is she also a woman from the Enforcement Division?”

“”Ha?””

At Cleon’s words, Layla and Galatea raise their voices at the same time.

But Galatea closed her eyes as if thinking about something for a moment.

“Ah.”

She did and she opened her mouth as if recalling.

“Could it be… Caliburn?”

At those words, Layla and Cleon’s eyes widened.

‘Caliburn’

It is the golden holy sword wielded by Alvein in the past.

It was a sword that had already been broken while sleeping in the ruins of the Lake Trace.

“…Ah, come to think of it. Galatea ate the core and I bleed all over…”

“Such a backstory… But why did it come now?”

At Layla’s question, Galatea closed her eyes for a moment.

“Probably, I think it’s a response to the magical power of the second dimension.”

Mana that threatens the body creates a state of alert in the body, leading to a temporary performance increase.

Cleon’s magic that activated Iona’s function is also such a catalyst.

For Galatea, the magical power of the second dimension that her verse coefficient possessed became such a catalyst.

As a result, it reacts with the core of Caliburn that Galatea absorbed.

At the same time, the function of Caliburn’s dead state is also activated.

“Now, wait. So, you’re saying that what grows inside Galatea’s body is the Holy Sword?”

At Lila’s words, Cleon’s expression became complicated.

“Caliburn will be Caliburn, but it will be a little different from Albain’s time. He must have absorbed Cleon’s and me’s magic as much as he could while he was in his body.”

“…Then, it’s not a holy sword, but a demonic sword?”

To Cleon’s question, Galatea shook her head and answered.

“You won’t know until you give birth to that…”

“Baby…!?”

It was Lila’s side who reacted to that.

“Hey, wait! Are you thinking of having a baby!?”

Galatea jumps up from her seat and tilts her head as she sees Lyla raising her voice.

“Yes, of course. He’s me and Cleon’s child, right?”

“Kuh… Certainly. In that case, trying to give birth is a natural accident…!”

Layla speaks as if she is indignant at Galatea’s answer as if it were natural.

No, is it natural?

Cleon sighed as the words returned to his throat.

“But it’s difficult. Not being able to take the form of a sword.”

Galatea speaks with a frown on her face.

Perhaps the reason why he was forcibly changed into a human form was because he could no longer ignore the presence of a nuclear nucleus located in his stomach.

In other words. Until Galatea gives birth to Caliburn in her belly…

Cleon cannot use the magic sword.

Of course, it is possible to borrow power from women who are connected with the mark of dominance, but…

Even so, it was a story that made her feel a bit lonely that she couldn’t fight alongside the demonic sword, Galatea.

Looking at Cleon, Layla narrows her eyes for a moment.

Then he seemed to be pondering something-

“Wait. I have something to prepare, so everyone go out. Gather Sasha and Quon and come to the drawing room later.”

“Yes, yes.”

Seeing Lila suddenly get up from her seat and rummage through her bag.

Cleon took Galatea and left her room.

002

Evening of that day.

Sasha, Quon, Lyla and Cleon.

And Galatea and Iona were gathered in the drawing room.

The ones who were away were Ferdia and Luti.

Both of them seemed to be busy with work in the city.

In particular, Sasha seemed to be trying to hide the pair of animal ears on her head and her wa tailgging from Cleon.

He was sitting with his hands on his head, his face red.

“What about Lubera?”

“I left first. Since the bondage of the marquis family is gone, I’m going to the royal capital to find other dark horse clans.”

Iona answers Lyla’s question.

Cleon and Iona read what he had left behind in a letter of essay writing.

“She’s been tied to the marquess family for years, so it’s only right that she act freely.”

At Cleon’s words, Iona nodded.

“So? Lila. What about stories?”

“Yes. First, the memory cube.”

She takes out the cube Cleon left behind and puts it on the table.

Light blue light was emitted little by little.

“Sorry. The interpretation failed.”

“…”

At those words, a heavy energy hovered in the drawing room.

Of course, the Memoria Cube is an object made with ancient technology.

I didn’t think that the interpretation would succeed so easily.

“But there must be another way?”

Lila’s face hadn’t given up yet.

That’s why Cleon read her intentions and asked that.

That was the correct answer.

Layla also nods her head at Cleon’s words and continues her story.

“Yeah. If I had to ask which one the analysis failed, it would be because of ‘lack of equipment’… “

All analysis tools that Lyla has are small, portable items.

Somehow, it lacks the capability rather than a complex structure or a large facility.

Perhaps the items in the magic tool store in the city of Ellesia aren’t enough.

So that.

“Hey everyone. Why don’t you go to the academy?”

At those words, Kuondo Sasha also opened her eyes wide.

“There are several reasons.”

Lila says so and begins to spread her fingers.

“First. Interpretation of the Memoria Cube. The facilities here and in the city are insufficient, but at my studio in the academy, I can interpret it and there are many materials.”

“Second. Galatea’s condition. Being pregnant by a demonic sword, it may be similar to Iona’s mother. However, the cases may be slightly different. We need to investigate that as well.”

“Third. Sasha’s body. Animalistic features that appeared on her body by imprinting. Human ears remain, and if you look closely, her tail is made of magic. …I don’t know what effect the imprinting will have in the future .A place with a lot of magical materials would be good.”

The rest of the story up to this point nodded.

Certainly, I had to leave the mansion somehow.

Considering the cleanup work that would soon hit this place, it was a reasonable decision.

“Fourth. It’s about Quon.”

“…Me?”

Lyla’s words made Quon widen her eyes.

“Lutti talked about it earlier. The people of the religious order from the royal capital are looking for Quon. After Alvein’s incident, he has been living and hiding here. Thanks to his performance in the previous battle, he appeared to the people of the city ​​again.”

“…”

Heavy air flows once more.

The reason they are looking for Quon is probably…

In order to use her ability as her candidate for the saintess she has.

Being a saint basically has the power to find the holy sword.

For him, there were many cases where he was endowed with powerful divine magic power to overcome trials.

Even the church cannot leave such talented people alone.

But-.

“The upper echelons of the Church are deeply connected to the regressors. You’d better not believe them.”

At Cleon’s words her, Lyla nodded her head as well.

When Quon’s face darkened at those words, Sasa held onto Quon’s hand.

“So you want to go to the academy?”

“That’s right. Because the academy has a reputation for being a church. Of course, there are departments about divine magic and theology inside. At least, they are far from the ‘Holy Protection Church’.”

To protect Quon from the cult.

Cleon closed his eyes for a moment.

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

“Yeah. I think that way is better too.”

First of all, there was a reason why everyone in the party had to head there.

When Cleon and Quon accept Lyla’s opinion of her.

Sasha also cautiously nodded her head.

“What will Iona do?”

Iona took her will her, saying that if she wanted to evade the intelligence agency from Tal Chek, she could do so.

She also looked like she was thinking for a while.

“First of all, I will return to the capital. Even though my father is dead, it is not the right thing to leave without saying anything.”

“… Okay.”

Is she parting with her for a while?

But Iona smiled and put her hand on her Cleon’s shoulder her.

“It’s okay. I’ll be sure to visit you.”

Cleon nodded quietly at the voice that seemed to soothe a child.

“But. Couldn’t she just go to the academy and not do anything?”

At Sasha’s words her, Lila turned to her and replied.

“That’s right. So, Sasha and Quon will enter the same academy student status as me.”

“Ha, student!?”

When Sasha raised her voice in resentment, Quon also made a troubled face.

“Don’t worry. If it’s recommended by the chief, it’s possible. If it’s a scholarship you’ve saved for your tuition, you can pay.”

Layla smiles and looks back at Sasha and Quon.

Well, it seemed like something fun.

“Wait, what about Cleon?”

At Galatea’s words, Layla looks at Cleon.

“Ah~ Cleon. I guess it’s better to be a teacher than a student.”

At those words, Iona also strangely understood.

“Certainly, Cleon doesn’t have the atmosphere of being a ‘student’…”

“… Do whatever you want.”

Cleon talks as if he doesn’t care, but he opens his mouth as if there’s something that will take a while.

“But is it okay to go back to the academy? Layla, you”

At that, Lila shut her mouth for a moment.

She knew the meaning of what Cleon was saying.

She enlists Alvein on a mission entrusted to her at the academy.

No, I came to this city to kidnap.

But that mission was foiled by Cleon.

Although the academy would not punish Layla for failing her mission her, she would.

If she goes back to her academy, something will put her at a disadvantage.

“It’s okay. It’s for everyone. It’s just a little bit of what I am.”

However, Lila showed firm determination and opened her mouth.

“And. The academy seems to be concerned about the dragon word magic I used that day. Master contacted me about when I will return to the academy.”

Even telepathy had been cut off until the day before. Layla adds.

“Then. I’m glad.”

“Yes.”

Layla smiles at Cleon’s voice of reassurance.

That day, everyone gathered in the drawing room until a little late and talked.

Story so far.

And the story of the future.

A new life in a new place.

It couldn’t be anything but exciting for an adventurer.

It was the same with Cleon.
