Recovery

I was absent from the academy. It is due to the effect of stabbing acupuncture into my body.

Apart from the aches in my muscles, my joints were also wrecked with pain, my body temperature was high, and my head was fuzzy.

Sadie was looking over my unconscious body, talking to my sleeping face “Lil’ Earth… Why is this, and such a high fever. Oh, my little man”

My consciousness is hazy, but I am a little glad. Because that Sadie will take care of me through it all.

Over and over, she cools a hand towel and places it on my head, and every time it’s exchanged, I feel her hand chilled from the ice water, with plenty of care.

Sadie says, “Little man, why did you pierce yourself with acupuncture. Not to mention, it was all over your body.”

Awake enough to comment, I said, “J-Just trying some treatment to relieve fatigue.”

Sadie said, “Isn’t it pointless if it affects your health? Now look how worried you have made me?”

I reply “Thank you, it felt worth the risks.”

Sadie continued, “The Master and Lady won’t be back, but today I will not leave Little Man’s side, even for a little bit, so please take care of yourself.”

No way, I couldn’t say that the acupuncture had forcibly opened my magic hole, so I told Sadie that I was dabbling in acupuncture to relieve my body’s fatigue after training. However, for Sadie, regardless of how much I studied acupuncture, she seemed to be worried because of my illness.

To be honest, it’s heartbreaking to have made Sadie worry, but I was happy to see her pampering mode for the first time in a long time. 

However, I was not able to fully enjoy the bliss. I am sore, “Tsu, Ugh”

Sadie said, “Little man. Your arms and legs seem to be aching. Will this also require acupuncture?”

Replying with fatigue freely available to hear, “W-Well, that’s how it is. Urgh”

Sadie worried called out, “Little man!”

It’s not just the fever and a headache. Severe pain keeps running all over my body. Only the points that were pierced with acupuncture had abnormally high heat and felt as painful as a cut from a sharp blade. Every time I was in shook due to pain, I lost consciousness.

Enuma called to my in my head, "Boy, cast Domain as you lose consciousness." 

In my fading consciousness, Enuma’s voice echoed, It is training in a dream."

And if I lose consciousness, Enuma is waiting in my dreams with arms folded and a full-faced smile. Enuma then said, "However, it is pathetic to pass out. We only hit two magic holes."

Embarrassed I said, "I-I’ve lost face."

Enuma congratulated me, "This is only on the first day that you fall ill so far. From now on, only the pain will accompany the opening process. That is how the body is rebuilt."

I nodded and said, "It’s just pain."

Enuma said, "Even so, I was the right to have you learn Domain. Even if you are immobile and bedridden, I can train you."

It’s hell when I sleep. Even if I wake up, I only get a little healing. If I could choose from either, I’d pick being awake. Because Sadie is there. 

Enuma said, "Do not grieve. Anyway, I want you to learn Demon Super Evolution Breakthrough as soon as possible. Once this is achieved, we will spend what remains of these two months on ladder training and sparring."

When it comes to Enuma, any time I go to sleep he’ll be there, smiling at the fact that we get to train to his heart’s content. It was a little frightening to me, but this is also for the promise I made in two months!

Enuma said, "Well, at any rate, your body is now being modified. If you keep doing this, you will never lose to those of your age if you only have one chance to release magic. But it is not enough win. Do you know why?"

A one-shot destructive magical power obtained in exchange for severe pain and hellish suffering. But, of course, the reason why it’s not enough to win.

I said, "Ah. Even if I can open my magic holes and release a lot of magic. My magic capacity itself is small, so if I unleash a strong spell, that’ll be the end of it."

Enuma confirmed, "That is right. And, as I said when you were awake, the magic capacity in the body is a kind of talent. This will not increase immediately. Then what do we do?"

You can win if you just hit each other’s magic once. But it can’t be done in a fight. What if the magic misses? Even more so, the game is a tournament. Once your capacity reaches zero, you won’t be able to fight anymore.

I answer, "So, instead of releasing the magic of the body, it’s about keeping it around and make it last."

The next moment, a red light covered Enuma’s body. Enuma said, "You can keep the magic like this." 

That’s the technique I was shown in my first dream. Enuma explained it, "I fasten the magic around the body. This is a technique that uses everything only to increase physical abilities."

Astonished by this new technique, I murmur, "Around me. Fasten?"

Enuma said, "Strengthening the body, improving self-healing power. In your case, the previous matters more."

Terran (two months later)

Magic capacity: 100

Magic emission: 90

Enuma explained the scenario, "In this case, if you use a powerful spell."

Terran after using powerful magic

Magic capacity: 100 → 10

Enuma explained, "You can use the bigger stronger magic attack, but you will leave with little left in the tank for next battle. If you fasten it in the body instead of releasing it. You can reduce the risk of losing magic in an instant."

Surprised, I gasp, "Whoa! Is that right?"

Enuma said, "That’s right. Breakthroughs always drain magical power. However, as long as you do not use great techniques like spiral breaks, you can maintain a much better power over ordinary people for a reasonable amount of time. For example."

Terran after 10 seconds in the Breakthrough state

Magic capacity: 100 → 90

Enuma explained, "To be precise, it is a little different, but you can think of it as reducing your magic power by 1 per second."

I replied, "Ah… I see. Makes sense."

Enuma said, "However, in order to activate the Breakthrough once, you must have a certain amount of open magic holes in the whole body. You are now building that body."

A vague explanation. Of course, if you defend or attack in a Breakthrough state, your magic will decrease much faster.

So, in Enuma’s calculation, you can fight in a Breakthrough state for up to 100 seconds.

Enuma said, "For the time being, it is better to learn from here on with your body rather than reason. In that respect, the image training within Domain is very efficient. I can demonstrate it, and you can acquire more aptitude while fighting."

From here on out, it’s no longer logical. The rest is single-minded effort and training.

Enuma yelled, "Come on, boy! This is beneficial to learn by heart the numerous ways to die!"

Unable to keep pace, I panic, "Hey, w-wait! Oh, Aaaaaaah!?"

Enuma was being demanding, saying, "This can be acquired in training! There is no secondary effect such as fire or lightning, but no chanting is required. It is a perfect technique for you who will be proficient at martial arts."

Dream sparring with the Demon King. Enuma yelled, "This is the Demon Super Evolution Breakthrough that was developed by me."

See feeling the fatigue and trying to utilize what I learned, and for the time being, I died again. Suddenly I woke up to my bed. And beside the bed, Sadie was sitting in a chair and fast asleep.

I said out loud, “Ah, woke up from the dream.”

Enuna yawning said, "Aaah. We had plenty of training this instance. Forgoing the academy might have been for the best, after all."

The Demon King is there whether I’m asleep or awake. Yeah, that’s really what you’d call a shared destiny.

I hear a girl mumbling, “No… Li… tle ma…… Su~ su~…”

confused I question the noise, “Huh”

Sleep talk from Sadie. And it’s about me. Something about this makes me happy.

I praise her, “Hehe. Thank you. Sadie”

Enuma said "Why do you not show more gratitude towards my efforts?

“……”

Enuma demanded a response, "Hey, do not ignore me."

When I look at Sadie sleeping, I feel excited, but I also feel guilt. I guess she’s pretty tired.

I guess I was nursed all day long without regaining consciousness. So, seeing Sadie in front of me at the pillow, sitting in a chair, in a short skirt and very unguard next to my bed. White lace! Very fine! The milk is very rich and nutritious. Hello!

Enuuma said, "Hey, what are you looking at, ignoring me?"

Right now, I didn’t look into it. Because I can’t move out of bed, what I saw was an accident. So, even if I look at it a little more.

Sadie murmured more, “Lil’, Terran…No…. don’t….”

I think of her posture in the chair, “She has amazing legs!”

She started talking in her sleep a little while ago, her legs were gradually opening, and now I’ve seen a piece of underwear. Sadie sleep talking more, “No, no, little man…… No more…… ♪I’m going to tell you something♪.”

That makes me confused, “Heh!?”

At that moment, I looked up at Sadie’s words, her legs gradually opening wider. Sadie, with a smile as sharp as a crescent moon in her mouth laughed, “Nofofufufu- ♪”

I said “Sadie”

Sadie said, “You must remember, little man. The sleeping girl that calls the man’s name usually only pretends to be asleep♪.”

Astonished at noticing she is awake. “Eh!?”

Sadie said, “It’s a woman’s strategy, isn’t it? Sorry to destroy the dream of a virgin boy.”

No, maybe she was sleeping, but she woke up about the same time as me. Sadie then said, “It’s sad, though. The boy is also 15. In the world, there may be people of the same age that will have sexual experience soon, such as dating and their first."

Swallow my saliva, “Urgh, Guh”

Sadie attacks me with a nasty grinning smile. Damn, when I was down, she was so nice, but now she is so sour. 

Sadie said with an evil smirk, “It’s fine little man”

Stunned, I gape in nervousness, “… eh?”

Sadie with a shyly says, “If that’s all there is to it. The knockers are the prize, but If it’s about panties to heal your fatigue”

Heh!? What!? What? Now, From Sadie’s spiteful face, to that of a lady with a little shyness? What is healing panties!?

I try to explain, “No, no, no! It’s acupuncture treatment for treating muscle pain is the cause.”

Sadie said, “So, I beg your pardon! If my panties heal little man even a little.”

Sadie isn’t mad at all, but is she hurt? I’m sorry. More, can I see more of Sadie’s panties!?

I asl, “Hey, are you sure?”

Sadie confirms, “If little man says he wants it, I will obey.”

I can’t do it. Give such an order. That’s kind of like a sensual novel in which a rich scum plays with a maid, and it’s a crazy, exciting. But I need healing, and probably Sadie wants to show them too. Surely, it’s a contest of panties.

Yes, that’s why I can’t help it, so I’m going to see it! Finally relented to my wrong brain, I ask “Sadie. Show me the healing panties!”

Then suddenly my father's recognizable voice is heard calling out,  “Hey, I’m home now! What’s Earth’s condition?”

Then a woman's voice called out, “Earth, I’m here! Just wait, your mom will heal you soon. Hea-"

At that moment, the door of my room was briskly thrown open, and there were my father and mother whose expressions changed to a blood rage.

I cried out at Sadie, as I knew she had set me up, “Sa-Sadie”

Sadie with her evil smirk, laughs, “Nofufu– , Little man. Are you still feverish? You have to be aware of the signs that your parents have returned.”

I replied, “They weren't going to be home. “ 

Sadie grinning, “Ooh? Without your parents, you would have given such an order. That’s the kind of guy you are little man- ♪.”

Yeah, I was beaten. From the face of the sexy woman until a while ago, to that devilish smile again!

Enuma is an admirer as well, saying "My oh my"

Heero steaming in rage, “This Stupid Soooooooon!!!!”
