ASDP Chapter 7

“Grandpa, that’s terrible.”
I was hit with a document with all his strength, and I hold my head and crouch. When I slowly look up, I met the sharp blue eyes of my grandfather, who has his gray hair tied back.
“Didn’t I tell you that treatment would be difficult if the patient’s mind becomes weak?”
“Didn’t you say that all I had to do was persuade him?”
To my explanation, my grandfather rolled up the documents and patted his palms.
Obviously, he is dissatisfied with my explanation.

“…Certainly there may be a lack of explanation, but if I say it’s to thank me for my help, Theo will not have to worry about me from now on.”
“If you understand that there is a lack of explanation, don’t leave out the explanation without any trouble. I’m telling you to tell him why it’s necessary to take it off. What Amelia is doing is a threat. If you think it’s troublesome, you’ll try to use force by omitting the explanation, but don’t bother with that.”
My face tightened as I felt that a furious sermon was about to begin.
My grandfather’s sermon is long. To the extent that I want to leave Theo and the others and evacuate to my father.

“Well, I don’t mind taking it off, though?”
“Really?!”
When I looked at Theo’s face, I was hit on the head with a bundle of paper held by my grandfather as an educational guidance again.
“It doesn’t matter, but please explain. I’m not going to turn my granddaughter into a pervert who tells people to take it off because she saved them.”
……If you ask me, that’s certainly a pervert. It’s a case of asking you to show me your nakedness for no reason.
I also regret that I was in a hurry because I wanted to investigate it quickly.

“I’m sorry. It was my fault.”
“Well, do I have to take my clothes off?”
“I want you to take it off. But let me explain why I want you to take it off first. Actually, I think that turning into a monster is due to an abnormality in the magical power manufacturing organ, and I want to make sure that the hypothesis is correct…. No, let’s see. In the first place, I was thinking about whether there was a way to purify the maga other than the saint, and then I was thinking about what the maga was and why creatures turned into monsters—”
“What? Purification of the maga?”
I want him to take it off because I want to check the magic manufacturing organ, but when I was worried about how to talk about why I wanted to check it, Theo asked me a question with a blank face.

“Yes. Purification of maga. We’re in a situation where there aren’t enough saints now, right? In that case, I thought we should look for a way to purify other than saints.”
“Is it something that can be done?”
“I don’t know. However, you can stop the demonization just by growing mushrooms like this, and there are ways to cure them other than the temple. For example, even if you can’t completely purify the maga, don’t you think that if you can lower the influence of it turning creatures into monsters, the saints can purify it more calmly?”
The reason why it’s hard to purify is because there are a lot of monsters around. Most monsters attack when they see humans.
Proceed while defeating the ferocious monster, and the saint has to go to a place with trouble to purify it. This alone is quite a labor force. And when animals become monsters one after another, they appear in the town and attack people. So when maga occurs near the town, they are forced to clean up as soon as possible. But if it doesn’t turn into a monster and the monster doesn’t attack the town, I think the people in the town can wait with a relaxed feeling.
Of course, my goal is the saint’s decline plan by establishing a way to purify the maga other than the saint.
But I’m going to step by step.
If it was easy to solve, we shouldn’t have been clinging to the saints for so long.

However, I also think that the reason why research is not progressing is because there is a part of the world that has stopped thinking about it.
From the fact that the saints were able to purify, it is a belief that only the saint can purify. People don’t invent unless they are driven by necessity.
If there is no one who wants to invent, there will be no solution.

“Anyway, first of all, I thought that we should investigate the maga and demonization, and find out how it’s happening.”
“……Amelia is smart, right?”
“Because she’s my grandchild.”
My grandfather spoke proudly to Theo, who murmured involuntarily.
My grandfather is strict and often hits my head, but he’s kind of a granddaughter idiot.
“So can you help me?”
“If you can know something by me taking it off, there’s no problem… but I don’t know what you want to see.”
“Ah. Doesn’t the chivalry department have physiology?”
“No, there was, but I don’t remember.”
He told me with embarrassment, so I also waved my hand in a hurry.
It’s not that I want to make fun of him.

“You forget the knowledge you don’t use. Well, as I mentioned earlier, the magical power manufacturing organ exists in line with the heart, and it is said that it is an organ that converts the mana taken from breathing into magical power. Then, it uses your heart to send magic to your whole body. That’s why the blood of living things contains magic.”
The idea that blood contains magical power has been there for quite a long time, and blood seals and so on. It was modern times that we actually investigated why blood contains magical power.
“And if you look through the glasses, a recently developed magic tool that allows you to see the flow of magic power, you can see the flow of magical power in your body. And I thought that if I looked at the magic manufacturing organ through the glasses, I could see if it was actually bloated. I thought that if I kept the information such as comparisons with others before and after healing, I could make various hypotheses.”
Maybe we can find out the cause of this bloating.
It is said that the maga was made by mana, but we don’t know how it happens. In fact, we don’t even know the part of why it turns living things into monsters.

“Wow. They have glasses like that. Amelia knows a lot.”
“Yes. Well.”
I don’t know everything about the new magic tools made by alchemists either. It’s just because my father had the ore that this material is made of, and an acquaintance who knew about it begged him to give it to them, and he got it as a thank you. He never thought that he would be commended by the country for that invention and even get the title of baron.
My father celebrated that it was good as usual, but he was reminding him not to say that he provided the material. Apparently, it seems that the person was connected to the boss who encouraged him to remarry and to the king, and he doesn’t want to see those people again.

“So, can you see it if I take it off right now?”
“Yes. We think it’s convenient to see the flow of magical power when you get injured in a monster-related way, so we put them away in the clinic. Grandpa, I’ll borrow it.”
“Ah. It’s on the equipment shelf.”
With my grandfather permission, I take out my glasses from the drawer on the white shelf.

“Then, could you please take it off?”
“Ah”
When Theo nodded lightly, without being embarrassed at all, he pulled off the clothes from his upper body in a manly manner.
It’s a tight body with no wasted fat. The pectoral muscles are not very developed, but the abdominal muscles well-developed, and the back muscles and upper arms are firm.
“Would it be better to take off the bottom too?”
“Well then-”
“Don’t take it off. If you’re going to do the bottom, I’ll check it, so tell me where you want me to look.”
Pashin.

My head is hit with documents again.
When I saw Theo’s face red and wandering around, I thought it would be better to stop going down.
“Oh, Amelia, are you used to seeing that?”
“Well, during treatment.”
“What? Treatment?”
“Because I was helping my grandfather when injured people came to the clinic.”
Since I started going to school, I haven’t been able to come to help, so I have fewer opportunities to see it, but since my father decided to retreat to the countryside, I helped several times and watched people’s naked bodies.

“Oh, I see. I’m sorry. Because you’re around that age… umm. Do you have a boyfriend?”
“I don’t.”
Theo solidified when the voice of denial became colder than necessary.
“…I’m sorry. For the time being, I’ll take a quick look.”
“I’m sorry too. I got too personal.”
When I put on the glasses deceive, Theo lowered his eyebrows and apologized.
Theo is not bad at all. It’s just that I’m still reeling from my broken heart. So I shake my head.

“No. It’s okay. Well then, let me check it out.”
Wearing the glasses, I look at Theo.
Then I saw a red line on Theo’s naked body. This line is the flow of magic. I can also see the magic flowing into the air outside the body.
I look at the area of the body where the heart is located. Isn’t it bigger than the magic manufacturing organ that my father showed me before? I still feel like it’s bloated.
While looking at the line toward his arms and stomach, I stopped the movement of my gaze.

“Hmm?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Hey, grandpa, can you please take a look for me? I feel that the flow of magical power is slightly strange.”
I’m not an expert either. So I couldn’t tell if the discomfort I felt was something normal or not, so I took off the glasses and offered them to my grandfather.

Poor Theo. He keeps stepping on landmines with Amelia.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
