The time to test Karssein and explore his inner self is over.

Now, all that was left for Talpon and Lilpeten was to pay off their past debts and willingly establish diplomatic relations with the Lord of Shatrene.

As he was exhausted from the decision of victory and defeat, he would not be able to return to Shatlaine right away, but when time passed and he woke up, he would immediately tell him the news and move when he wanted.

But now, a day has passed. It was Harnier, not Karssein, who came to Talpon.

“Carcein is not waking up?”

“Yes…”

Harnier nods nervously.

“I’ve been watching the progress ever since I laid down in bed, but Carcein didn’t wake up even when I woke up.”

“Hmm… I guess it wasn’t such a serious injury.”

Because both of them fought with all their might, there were cuts and injuries from flying debris. In addition, traces of battle were engraved all over the body, such as sword energy missing or clothes being torn and skin scraped.

However, if you ask whether the injury was that serious, it was not.

Talpon, who crossed swords with Karssein, knows this best.

Although there were various wounds all over my body, they were not serious enough to cause me to sleep through the day. Even though he was defeated, he is still acting just fine.

still.

“Just in case, check it out.”

There was no reason to doubt the words of his fiancee, Harnier.

Harnier was the one who watched the proceedings from the beginning.

Talpon checked Carsein’s condition and promised that if he thought it was dangerous, he would personally drive the horse and move, and headed to Carsein’s room where he was sleeping.

When I opened the doorknob and went in, there was no sign of Karsain moving as Harnier said.

However, the cause can be guessed.

“Harnier. You said you were Karssein’s fiancée.”

“But.”

“If you are my fiancee, I will hang out with you often. That’s why I’m asking. Has this guy ever suffered from Dipheshan Syndrome?”

“How do you do that…?”

“Hmm. Is that so as expected?”

I thought it was strange that although it clearly possessed mana, it did not manifest properly or its awakening occurred late.

“How can we adapt to the eroded lands of the West?”

“I boiled the decoction and gave it to him.”

“Decoction. If so, any accumulated fatigue would have been resolved at that time. What was your reaction after that?”

“I fell asleep like I did today. I think I woke up after a good night’s sleep…”

I knew it.

People who have lived in the West for a long time will not have any major problems because they have adapted, but the eroded land in the West also affects humans in general.

Therefore, measures must be taken to resist erosion and prevent mana from being eaten away, but it was Karssein’s constitution that was holding him back.

However, that didn’t seem to be the end.

“But not only was the fatigue relieved, a chill spread throughout Carcein’s body.”

“What? That couldn’t be…!”

“Yes. The aftereffects of Dipheshan syndrome appeared.”

It’s an aftereffect of Dipeshan Syndrome.

‘It’s not just a special constitution, it’s an extremely rare constitution.’

In general, when you take steps to help resist western erosion, your body naturally develops defense mechanisms. This is the erosion resistance that develops with rest.

At this time, there are bound to be minor reactions such as feeling tired, feeling sleepy, or losing strength…

If a disease appears at all, it should not be simply ignored.

“Then the aftereffects will come again this time.”

“Yes?”

“Mana was leaking out as I entered the room. It seems that the erosion resistance has become dull due to the constitution and the mana is being eaten up again.”

“Then what should I do…”

“When Karcein first suffered from this disease, you would have taken appropriate measures by giving him decoction. Right?”

…Appropriate action?

Yes, but…

“Originally, it would have been difficult, but since she is your fiancee, it shouldn’t be that big of a problem. what. It won’t be difficult. All you have to do is repeat the steps you took in the beginning. Because it is important who is designated as the first target.”

“…”

Harnier, who was silent for a moment, gently held on to the hem of her skirt and asked.

“Ho, is there any other way…?”

“None.”

“Um, really… nothing?”

“Yes. With a constitution like that, Karsein cannot get rid of Dipeshan Syndrome on his own. Moreover, in this case, it is impossible to recover unless you are the person who helped you when the disease first appeared.”

Harnier’s shoulders trembled at those words.

“Hmm. Just then, more mana begins to leak out. If things continue like this, the aftereffects of that time will come soon. It would be better to take action in advance at this time. Let’s do it quickly.”

“Ah…”

“Hmm? Why do you do that? The fact that I rushed to my fiancé while worrying so much is still good in my eyes.”

“Well, that’s not it, ugh…!”

There is a very important situation.

It’s embarrassing to even say it!

“What. I’ll do it right and on time. Well, the important thing is that it should be as similar as possible to the first time. Keep this in mind. From the initial symptoms to the actual symptoms, they are all the same.”

Unaware of Harnier’s feelings, Talpon answered as if it was no big deal and left, causing Harnier’s face to turn red.

‘Well, we have to do that again here?’

I understood what you said about having to prepare your hands in advance.

But that doesn’t mean we have to act like it’s nothing.

Just like that time again.

That means I have to hug him naked!

Harnier’s face turned red.

But… you have to do it.

– Sweet.

I locked the door and drew the curtains.

With this, the only people in the room are her and Karssein. The seeing eye does not exist.

-Sureuk.

Take off your clothes.

Holding back my shame, I slowly took off my outerwear, revealing my shoulders and waist.

“ugh…”

I feel ashamed at the fact that I have to do this again.

The color of the flushed face became even darker and spread to all parts of the face.

We’ll have to talk about this later, when Karssein wakes up.

With my mouth…

“Ugh! That’s not the case now-!”

Harnier strokes her blushing face.

That was back then. For now, we should focus on helping Karssein recover.

“Underwear…”

Talpon said. It is important to make it as similar as possible to the first time.

Then… I had to take it off.

Finally, she took off her underwear and became completely naked.

Naked, with all of her white skin exposed, she slowly moved, glancing at the bed where Karssein was lying.

It wouldn’t even happen right now.

With a strange worry that I might be seen for no reason, I cover my breasts with one hand and flinch away.

Before you know it, Karssein’s bed is just around the corner.

“…I told you to make it as similar as possible to the first time, right?”

Slowly lifting the blanket…

wrapped around his body. Both breasts were pressed against Carcein’s body, and the other skin that was closely pressed was also completely touching.

I’m so embarrassed that I’m going crazy, but it was definitely like this back then.

All you have to do is spend time like this until Karssein’s body recovers.

-Kongdak. Kongdak.

ah. My heart starts pounding of its own accord again.

If I were to wake up like this, I would be in big trouble.

But why?

I start to feel embarrassed but also a little fortunate.

I just don’t understand this feeling.

Harnier fell asleep just like she did when she slept with Karssein.

***

‘It’s called Dipeshan Syndrome.’

Talpon crosses his arms and thinks deeply.

As people adapt to the western lands that have been deeply eroded by the Magi, various diseases are bound to appear. Dipeshan syndrome was a type of disease that was not very common.

Conversely, Westerners who have adapted to erosion usually do not suffer from such diseases.

That instilled confidence in Talpon.

“It’s a big deal. You sent me this urgent letter and came to see me.”

Pollux came to Talpon, who was waiting.

When Pollux holds out his fist, Talpon also holds out his fist. Their relationship with Western greetings was still the same.

There is no need for trivial introductions.

The person who brought Claire and changed Talpon’s mind was Pollux. The questions that will be asked have already been decided.

“So, what was it like when you met?”

Of course, this is a story related to Karssein.

Talpon first shook his head.

“I was very stubborn. The same goes for what you said, as did his request to be his sister. When I met him in person, I realized there was a misunderstanding on this side as well.”

“Heh. I guess it was like that too. You must be qualified enough, right?”

“Yes. You captured the Scorpion King single-handedly. Tsk. Such crazy things are not done even in Lilpeten.”

“What? Hahahaha!”

Pollux laughed as if he was amused.

“So, what happened with Karssein?”

“Hmm. It was decided to establish diplomatic relations. I guess I need some rest now.”

“Rest?”

“After sparring with me, he collapsed from exhaustion and slept the rest of the day. So, I found out that I had a very bad constitution and suffered from Dipheshan Syndrome at level 3 or higher.”

Then Pollux’s expression hardened slightly.

“Hey. Isn’t that dangerous? If it is level 3 or higher…”

“Yes. From level 3 onwards, you need the help of others, but only the mana of the first person you give mana to is effective. If it wasn’t the same person, you wouldn’t even be able to recover and would die from the disease that continued to appear, but there was no need to worry.”

“Ah. I see.”

Because the first target was my fiancee, Harnier.

There is almost no risk of two people who are engaged to separate.

“I can’t believe it happened like that. Hehehe. After all, it is right for the two to stick together.”

“Anyway, it was decided to establish diplomatic relations with Karssein. Starting tomorrow, I’d probably like to move to Shatren and walk around with him.”

“What is it? Talpon, did you come all the way here to say that?”

Pollux strokes his chin and smiles with a helpless expression.

“No. That is not the news I am conveying to you. Pollux.”

“Hmm?”

“First, that guy… had a strange smell.”

Pollux’s expression became serious again when he heard the word “smell.”

Lilpeten’s sense of smell.

Surely that means he smelled Karssein’s mana.

“What happened?”

“I felt crazy loneliness and pain during my sparring with Karssein. But strangely, I couldn’t feel any more emotions than that.”

“…Okay. The boy felt cold, as if he were trapped in a huge glacier.”

“It looks like you also sparred.”

“Yes.”

I remember it because I crossed swords with him in the West.

Perhaps Ipheros is better at judging people than Lilpeten, who can smell mana. They had power in the realm of touch, gaining all information through fighting.

“Carcein is falling apart. I’m losing my emotions and being captured by the monster called reason.”

“Hmm. Is that why no other emotions follow loneliness and pain?”

“It would be dangerous if left unattended, but my fiancee would probably be able to solve that problem.”

“Um.”

It certainly was.

If you are the opposite sex right next to you, you may be able to open your eyes to the most intense emotions that you have not yet awakened to. At first glance, they are a well-matched man and woman pair.

“Yes. Then I guess I’ll have to talk about the second part.”

“…something?”

“It is certain that it smells like the Kingdom of Wederos. But, strangely enough, that guy. They say I have Dipeshan Syndrome.”

“…! Right. Definitely…”

“There are no cases of Westerners suffering from Dipeshan syndrome. If you’re from an empire, you might not know. It is a contradiction in itself that this guy from the Kingdom of Wederos has Dipeshan Syndrome.”

So what does it mean?

In fact, this is the main topic that Talpon wanted to talk about.

“That guy. It smells like a stranger. Just like that prophet I was in charge of in the past.”
