The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

Chapter 27

Chapter 27


When I return to the storage shed, Yui is trying to move her body with a frantic expression .


“Rest in bed . ”


“Ku, un . ”


“I’ll help you . ”


I pick up Yui’s body and lean her against the wall next to the bed .


“N, thanks . ”


“Good . There’s no need to thank me every time . ”


“Nya . ”


Rollo licks Yui’s arm in concern .


“I guess I’ll check this house . The owner was like that . There should be something valuable here . Besides, maybe there is another recovery potion to cure Yui’s body?”


“That’s right . If you find some bring them to me, I can distinguish between medicines . ”


“Understood . ”


I go into the next room after covering such a Yui in a blanket .


The room Zoru and Theta talked in is a room fusing magic and pseudo-science .


There is a big bookshelf set up in the bottom left corner in an “L” shape, and on a nearby shelf is a big ceramic pot, things like medicinal plants and minerals like magic stones are on display .


There are a lot of ceramic potion bottles lined up on the oak desk, a powdered aluminum-like substance is spread around where an azure mortar and pestle are placed .


Ceramic bottles similar to round bottomed flasks are lined up around and connected to a black triangle shaped apparatus with cracks in it .


There is a bed in the middle of a rectangular magic formation .


There is the apparatus and equipment used for some kind of procedure or ceremony, there is also something like a black hearth made of metal .


However, they do not feel like they are used for blacksmithing .


A magic formation that has lost its light is written nearby on the floor .


There is a study desk in the right corner, place with it is a high quality chair that looks comfortable .


A small treasure chest is also underneath .


-Treasure chest .


I stoop down and open the lid of the treasure chest .


It is not locked . It immediately opens with a *paka*


Inside is one of Zoru’s black robes, several silver and gold coins, multiple rings, white chainmail, and black boots .


Packed into the right corner of the box are a bunch of bundled papers written with magic characters .


All of the articles seem to contain Mana .


This is treasure . I will inspect all of these later, I close the treasure chest .


When I stand up, a book with a leather cover comes into view .


In addition, there is a high quality quill pen with a metal handle engraved with antique designs in a ceramic case . There is also an ink plate .


This book, nothing is written on the surface of the leather, but Pin . Maybe this is a diary?


I sit down in the high-cla.s.s chair, then open the book and turn a page…

○ Month ○ Day


Theta has fallen ill .


I will buy one of the purple flowers Theta likes tomorrow .


I only study by myself .


I will spend time with my wife in the future .


○ Month ○ Day


My wife has surrendered to her disease; her stamina is gradually declining .


Her face lit up and looked so happy when she saw the purple flower .


She needs to be cured soon…


It has been several days, but she hasn’t improved at all .


It is strange . Medicine and recovery magic do not work .


Why, why must my wife suffer!


Is it my fault? Is it because I have devoted my whole life to making magic skill rings?


Alia-sama, G.o.d of love, please, cure my wife!


Spirit of light, is Ilodis, the G.o.d of light, really looking over us?


○Month ○Day


s.h.i.+t, s.h.i.+t, s.h.i.+t, no (TL: Someone help with this: ぐいfsーあふぃdさえいふじあ)


…Theta died .


Don’t f.u.c.k around . Too heartless . This world is cruel .


After all, a good G.o.d, wouldn’t…


○Month ○Day


I will take back my wife .


A container can be made with magic gold working to preserve my wife’s corpse .


It could be a G.o.d, it could be a demonic being, but I don’t care .


First of all, I need to collect information…


I am the eldest son of the Gustaves family . And, Zoru Gustaves is a first cla.s.s magician of the magic guild in Hector .


Using this background, I collected information from every corner I could find .


I checked with the head of the Gustaves family and was able to get strictly prohibited secret doc.u.ments about Magic Wogan Dolls .


Ma, my own family has ma.s.sive pull with secret art magic engineers who use magic ore to create magic dolls .


I pay a large sum of money for information and search the magic shops in 【 Hector 】 .


I was able to acquire several doc.u.ments about using summoning magic to forcibly obtain a departed soul .


Thinking about it now, I have been making rings as a magic goldsmith since I was young, I studied the magic and skills related to being a magic engineer handed down in the Gustaves family, it may have “all” been for my wife .


Letting a mineral and a high-density crystal core fuse as the body’s core, it stimulates dissolution and a weak spirit can be sealed .


This skill is inherited generation to generation and the person with it has a special mark on their forehead .


I have hated the mark since I was born, but it is different now . Thanks to it, I can save my wife . Things like the glory of a magic goldsmith no longer matter .


I shall use the skill with all of my heart, soul, and mana to save Theta .


○Month ○Day


I was finally able to get the foundation for the technique of the magic spirit doll .


The dedicated skills, high-density crystal, wood, metal, monster materials, all of the necessary small articles .


Besides an enormous amount of mana, the person’s type of corpse and a soul that are all indispensable, Baikal the G.o.d of death and Milady governing over life are also related .


What I am doing incorporates arts that the magic guild and hold church consider taboo, unlike the magic wogan doll .


Fortunately, the church in this city is small in scale .


There’s also only one bishop . But, I will have to fight against the magic guild and adventurer’s guild .


Moreover, I must gather information…right now, anywhere is good . I listen to rumors, dark parties, maybe I should look into the dark guild in this city .


○Month ○Day


While collecting information from the dark guild as well as the thief’s guild I discovered that there is a demonic being in 【 Hector 】


Isn’t this laughable?


A demonic being has always been living side by side with people in this city .


I came into contact with the demonic being and established a relations.h.i.+p . Moreover, using the relations.h.i.+p I was able to directly make a contract with the master of the labyrinth .


There was an easy condition .


Information on Magic Doll, summoning magic, instead of information about spirits, a ring with the Darkbone Helm, the item necessary for reviving a dead person, I was able to get “Spirit Absorption” concerning G.o.ds .


The ring seems to be able to some a decent soldier from h.e.l.l .


But, the ancient charm is more important than the ring .


With this by study will progress further .


○Month ○Day


I pray to Beikala for hatred and love, life, a soul is offered .


I give a portion of my wife’s body to Milady, and give it the blood of my relatives .


“Spirit Absorption” is totally different from magic doll . Inserting the soul, the soul changes into magic essence and becomes powerful .


This is a magic tool related to Mellady and Beikala .


There seem to be other evil G.o.d tools, but I’m unable to use them .


After I studied in this condition for a while, a monster with bone wings sometimes comes to my room .


It is the master of the labyrinth; it doesn’t seem to trust me very much .


Fu . s.h.i.+t, it’s a demonic being, but…fufufu, ma, it’s fine .


If it’s this, I can revive Theta .


My wife…endure of little longer .


When I take out the preserved corpse of my wife, I chop up Theta’s body .


○Month ○Day


It’s finally completed . Theta .


But, it doesn’t even twitch…


Rotten flesh and spirits are still required in large quant.i.ties for Theta .


The power to control the related attribute still seems to be insufficient .


I must be careful when using “Spirit Absorption”…it is brittle and fragile .


○Month ○Day


My research in 【 Hector 】 has been exposed to the mast of the magic guild, Benji Zengare .


As expect of those impressive people who built the castle wall . It was unreasonable of me to expect to remain hidden .


But, when there was a fuss, I tricked and killed a number of the guild, including Benji .


Buahaha, ahahahahahahahahahaha .


Serves you right! This is what happens to those who interrupt my research .


My reasoning is steadily declining,


There is no one who is able to stop me . A dejected heart completely swallowed in darkness .


After that members of the guild have been attacking one after the other, I have kill all of the would-be avengers .


Because I have the ring of the raijuu I am able to handle them relatively easily . (TL: Raijuu, not Riajuu, is a mythical beast that descends from the sky with a thunderbolt . I choose to use Raijuu . )


Fuhahahaha, this is perfect, their souls and corpses are exactly what I needed .


○Month ○Day


Finally, yata . I did it .


Theta moved .


It was worth sacrificing my love, hatred and soul .


She has no memories of her life time…but my wife revived .


But, we can no longer stay in our birthplace, 【 Hector 】


By having slaughtered the members of the guild I am going to be pursued by the holy knights and adventurers of this city .


I have been exiled by the Gustaves .


Somewhere, I must move my base…


□■□■


Then, I close Zoru’s diary .


The man called Zoru seems to have become extremely violent .


In this disgusting diary, the violet, was it love that drove him to do such thing?


Sighing I shake my head side to side and stand up from the chair .


I turn my eyes to the bookshelf .


In the magic user’s room there are a lot of magic related books .


I am interested in the books, but for now,


“Medicine…”


While muttering quietly, overlooking the gold wrought items on the left side of the room I move to the front of the book shelf and the desk .


Potion bottles lined up in a row .


Now, which one should I take?


I return back to the room Yui is in with the ceramic bottles .


When I return Yui is looking at Rollo with a gentle smile .


Her smile is cute .


Once she notices me her face turns serious again .


What, this gap . Smile at me sometimes too .


With a strange determination in my heart I approach her with the bottles I am carrying .


“-Yui, I brought a lot of bottles . Hey, these all look the same, but do you which is which?”


“N, I can tell . Let me smell them . ”


“Got it . ”


I open the ceramic bottles one at a time and bring them close to Yui’s nose .


I give her a little whiff one after the other .


“The one just now is a recovery potion . And I think the first one is a first-cla.s.s recovery potion . The others are bad . Oh, this one . The next one is odorless . Hey, this might be the medicine that paralyzed me…the antidote is the next one . ”


I smell it too…I cannot tell .


“Amazing . You really can really tell by the smell . ”


“It’s because I sometimes use them in my work . For a.s.sa.s.sination…”


“I see, that makes sense . So, will you drink this recovery potion with this antidote?”


“Ah, I’ll leave it you . ”


“A〜n”


When Yui hears me she smiles at me in confusion .


“N?”


“It means ‘open your mouth . "”


“Hey, this is my limit . ”


Being convinced, Yui opens her mouth a little . ”


She seems to be able to move the muscles in her face a little .


Ma, that makes sense if she can speak .


I tip the thin rim of the bottle to her tongues and pour the liquid into her mouth .


“Yosh, drink it . ”


“…”


She nods in silence .


“Then, I’ll lay you back down…”


Holding Yui’s head, I lift her body and lay her on top of the bed .


After I put her down I leave the storeroom .


I will move the popob.u.mu I had left alone .


Connected to the popob.u.mu’s mouth is lead which is tied to a tree next to the entrance of the storeroom .


And, I use the ingredients in the kitchen and mix together the potatoes and leaves to make feed for the popob.u.mu and put it in a wooden bowl .


I do not forget to remove its saddle and carry to the bags into the storage room .


Once I return to the storage room after putting the baggage in order Yui is already sleeping .


I appreciate Yui’s cute sleeping face .


Not making a sound, while walking slowly- sit on the next bed and appreciate her sleeping face again .


Rollo has also curled up and gone to sleep .


I lay down while being satisfied by such a figure .


I spend the night with my eyes closed for a while until I naturally become sleepy . (TL: I want to say something . It seems like Shuya doesn’t need to sleep and I am incredibly jealous . I hate sleeping, and being sleepy . It takes me one to two hours to fall asleep at night and that’s if I wait up until some unG.o.dly hour to get tired . If I go to bed at nine I may not fall asleep until twelve . If I was Shuya I would never sleep again . )


◇◇◇◇


The next morning-


I wake up early as always .


The usual way .


When I get up Rollo as always raises her face and looks at me .


-Rollo .


Without me noticing she fell asleep under my feet .


I smile at such a cute Rollo .


Now then, I will get undressed . There is a hole in the leather clothes where the lightning struck and burns surrounding it . I remove the leather clothes that have become little more than rags .


I strip my upper body and carry my black spear in one hand and the kukri sword in the other I go outside to the front of the garden .


In the garden I do some light spear training exercises, finally ending the training by flinging the spear into the ground in a big attack .


After I am satisfied with my morning training I put out the popob.u.mu’s breakfast and return to the storage room where Yui is laying .


She is already up and is trying to forcibly move her body while her upper body is trembling .


“Yui, you’re able to move a little now?”


She hears me asking about her condition and for a moment, has a joyful expression .


“…Ah! Ah, only a little . But, like this…”


“You can’t expect a full recovery in just one day, can you?”


I lean the black spear against the way I am talking .


Now then, I will enter the bath .


I look for a bucket in the room .


“You’re…naked?”


“Ah, I was training, oh, ata ata…”


There is a big pail sitting in the corner .


I carry it to the foot of the bed .


“N, what?”


“It’s for a bath . Bath . I sweat a lot . ”


While I explain I pour water in with Life Magic and clean the pail .


“A bath…”


She mumbles . A bath shouldn’t be uncommon .


After I finish cleaning the pail I fill it with hot water and then strip down naked before putting a foot in the hot water . (TL: Okay, two things . First: Dude . Seriously . Second: I guess pail is more like tub . )


“Fuu…”


-It feels nice .


I wash my face with the water and pour hot water over my head .


I take some gyuza gra.s.s out from the bags and turn my back to Yui . (TL: Gyuza gra.s.s is soap . )


I rub it between my hands I wash my whole body, starting from my face .


Rollo splashes the surface of the water *pasha pasha* and plays .


I catch Rollo by the scruff of her neck and her body stretches out as she is lifted, this is for the sake of making her nice and clean .


“Nyaa〜 Nya . ”


Rollo calls out like that at first but then seems to understand behaves herself .


She closes her eyes and is quietly washed by me .


When I finally say “done,” Rollo jumps into the hot water and begins the swim splish splas.h.i.+ng .


Yui looks at us and talks .


“Is that soap?”


“Not exactly, but it’s similar . ” It removes dirt . ”


With a smile I step up of the tub and approach Yui, naked . (TL: Stahp . )


“W-why are you coming over here naked?”


“Well, Yui needs to take a bath . ” (TL: No ulterior motives here . )


“Eh?”


The nostrils on Yui’s face move making them kunkun .


“Don’t you smell a little? You won’t be able to get stains out if you stay like this . ”


“Uh, but, no . ”


“Arguing is useless . ”


“Hii, i, iyaaaaa-”


Yui exclaims .


I remove her jacket by force .


I removed her black clothes and chain mail leaving her buck-a.s.s naked .


“Hehhentai . ”


“Shut it . I won’t deny it, up we go . ”


I lift her light body and hold her in a princess carry .


I carry her like that to take a bath in the hot water .


“Do you understand a body is warm? It may help the paralysis . ” (TL: That…is actually a valid point . )


“Kill…”


“Maa, maa, it’s fine . I’ll wash your body . ”


I layer some leather clothes on the edge of the pail and lean Yui’s head against them . Stabilize . Using the gyuza gra.s.s I wash all of Yui’s body . (TL: Irredeemable hentai . )


Fuu, I am getting a little excited . Her crotch is fuzzy .


“Oi, there’s no ulterior motive, I’m not a monster . ” (TL: 一物 can also mean p.e.n.i.s . )


“N, hey, is it the important symbol of a man?”


Yui is clearly staring at my crotch .


“Are you going to attack me?”


“No, no, it’s not that . I won’t embrace a woman who doesn’t want it . So relax . ”


“You, aren’t you excited though…”


“Hey, it’s a man absolute justice, an uncontrollable physiological phenomenon . I can’t help it because Yui is beautiful . It’s normal if I am rubbing b.r.e.a.s.t.s, this has been decided by the G.o.ds . ”


“B-beautiful…because of that, you say you won’t attack me?”


She seems surprised by what I said . She is quiet for a time and stares at me .


“What? Do you want to be attacked?”


“It’s absolutely different, I mean, bringing your face close naaaaaa”


“Shush, you seem to be fine . Either way, are you able to move?”


“What, the heck are you doing!”


“Even if you say that, oh, that reminds me, I never told you my name . My name Shuya Kagari . -Your future husband, the name of your lover . ”


“Bulls.h.i.+t, what husband, lover, hentai erection man!”


A〜h, she got mad . She is really angry .


Ma, that much is normal .


However, if it was not for me you would be dead you know?


…I do not say that .


You should hate me if you hate me .


I like this woman . I am just just helping her .


“…Ahaha, fine . I’m a hentai . ”


While laugh I carry Yui in my arms, “Baka, stop it . Hentai . ” as she nags me I wipe her body down with some leather, and dressing her in some of my clothes I lay her on top of the bed .


When Yui finally seems to have become quiet she glares at me while turning the other way .


“Oi, don’t get mad at me . Now, I’m going to get us something to eat . ”


Because there are potatoes and edible herbs in the kitchen I begin to cook something with those .


After peeling the potato skins she is still in the same state as before when I return for of the seasoning in the saddle bags…


I go through the bags without minding it .


While I am going through the bags I come across some jerky, the rabbit meat I hunted, and the meat of the fake hawk .


I am a little hesitant about the false hawk’s meat…


I am will not know unless I eat the bird cancer or the dove . I will eat it .


I take the meat to the kitchen, beat the meat lightly, cut it finely with a knife, and lightly salt it .


Then, because I found something an oil that tastes a little like white wine, I pour a little of the oil into the frying and place the finely cut meat in the frying pan, lightly frying the surface of the meat .


After that, I mixed the seared meat together with the potatoes and a garlic like herb to take care of the smell, and transfer them from the big frying pan into a pot .


In the iron pot I stew the meat along with the potatoes and vegetables after adding water and liquor on the fire-lit stove .


After a little while it is done, and the lightly-salted soup made with jerk, the barbequed chicken, and rabbit meat is done .


The bitter flavor of the herbs mixes well with the meat in the soup .


I was worried about the liquor, but it seems to have softened the meat and taken care of the smell so it tastes really good .


I share out the wooden and dishes and carry the food on platters .


“Yui, food is done〜”


“…”


She looks back but stays silent . She is still glaring at me .


“The taste is okay . It feels like a simple pot luck . For now, try and taste some, hora, open your mouth . ”


“Fu, why, pot luck? N?- It smells good . ”


She was still in a bad mood, but as soon as she smelled the meal att.i.tude changed completely and improved .


I bring a spoon to her small ero mouth and feed her .


I am relieved that she is hungry . She eats it with great relish .


“It’s good, but it’s hot . ”


In the blink of an eye everything on the platter has been eaten .


“You still want to eat?”


“Uun . I’m already good, thank you for the meal . But, go away now . ”


Go away…
