Two weeks have passed since we fought off Julian.
Jonathan and other people who knew Misery, the head of the Michel family, had been expecting him to come in the next day, but surprisingly, no complaints have reached the Earl and Countess Walker.
I tilted my head and wondered if it was just that Julian, who had his groin crushed, did not want anything to do with Sam anymore.
As for Sam, he knows that the next time he sees him, he won't get off scot-free.
He just doesn't care about that guy anymore and goes back to his normal life.
For the past two weeks, Sam's life has been the same.
But there are some things that make him anxious.
He has not received a single reply to his letters to Kotomi.
I don't know if her health has deteriorated or if there is some other reason, but I feel uneasy.
I thought I would like to visit her once to see how she is doing.
Lise also began to complain of feeling unwell.
She feels sluggish and sleepy, and sometimes has abdominal pain and nausea.
Concerned, Sam suggested that she see a doctor, but she insisted that she was fine.
In fact, he is not very good at seeing a doctor.
However, I forced him to promise to take a break from the training and to go to the hospital if he continued to suffer from the pain.
Because of this, I had to put off my visit to Amemiya's house.
"Sam."
"Hualien-sama?"
Since Liese did not participate in the training, I was sitting in the courtyard reading my grimoire, when Hualien approached me.
Dressed in a traditional costume reminiscent of Chinese clothing, she had been staying by Liese's side a lot lately.
Sam would like to be there for Lise, but she told him not to worry too much, so he spends lonely time by himself.
Haren is worried about her first friend Liese's poor health. Lise is also comfortable with other women and lets Hualien do as she pleases.
As for Sam, he is happy to have someone who cares about his beloved fiancée.
"Can I help you?"
He asks her why she took the trouble to come all the way to the courtyard.
"Is there something wrong with Liese-sama?"
"No, I'm not. Lise is lying on her bed, looking bored. Sometimes she sleeps, but it's not that bad. No, I received a grimoire from my grandmother.
"That would be great."
"I read it for a while and found it interesting. I think you won't be bored reading it."
"Thank you very much. Well, then, get it to him as soon as you--"
Wait.
Yes?"
I thought it would be a good opportunity to show my face to the Amemiya family.
Sam was about to deliver the grimoire to Kotomi, who was probably itching to learn more about magic than anything else, when Hanaeren interrupted him.
I heard something strange.
"What do you mean by 'strange story'?"
The sudden topic of conversation makes Sam tilt his head back and ask, "What do you mean?
"The servant who delivered the grimoire to me said that the old lady refused the treatment.
"That Magnolia-sama? Isn't that unusual, or perhaps a first for you?"
As far as Sam knows, Magnolia is a restorative magician who will always heal you if you wish.
He heals everyone equally, as long as they are not so bad.
It was a bit of a surprise to hear that he would refuse to treat them.
"Yes. I was surprised too. Grandma treats basically everyone. But what surprised me more is that the person she refused to treat was Julien Michel.
"Oops."
"Apparently, because the old lady refused to treat him, Julian was rendered incapable of being a man again. She also said that he's going to have trouble with his daily life.
"That's what I was trying to do. I was worried because I didn't get much of a response, but I'm glad."
I laugh inside and say, "Suck it up.
A man who treats a woman like an object deserves to die as a man.
Be thankful you didn't take a life.
From now on, don't bother anyone and live quietly in the shade.
"Maybe the old lady was thinking of Sam and refused to treat him."
"You mean for my sake?"
"Yes. Grandma knows Julian is Lise's ex-husband. And Lise is engaged to Sam.
"Well, in other words, you are on my side, aren't you, Magnolia-sama?"
"I think that's what he meant."
"Then I guess I should thank you."
Sam's concern was that Julian would be healed.
There were few wizards, and even fewer who could use recovery magic, but he was dealing with the next head of a noble family.
He had considered the possibility that a recovery wizard might work for Julian's sake.
But the best restoration wizard in the kingdom did not move.
Probably, it was partly because he was on Sam's side, but it must have been somehow conveyed to him that Julian was about to touch Hualien as well.
There is no way that Magnolia, who adores her grandchildren, would approve of that.
In fact, I am impressed by his thick skin that he could ask for treatment so brazenly.
"The old lady likes Sam. That's why she set him up with me. I think that's why she was afraid that she and Sam would fall out after treating Julian."
"I see."
"But thank you, Grandma. I feel bad for Julian, too. He made Lise suffer, so he should suffer even more."
"I agree. Well, I don't care about that man anymore. Let's deliver the grimoire to Kotomi-chan.
I'd rather worry about the promising Kotomi than Julian, who is determined not to recover.
"If you go to Kotomi, I want to go with you. I had a handshake with Kensei the other day, but I want to have a handshake with Mizuki, too.
"I don't mind if you come with me, but please be patient if Mizuki-sama doesn't want to."
"...... will take care of it for good."
"I'm worried. Please do."
After such an exchange, the two put several grimoires in their handbags and headed for the Amemiya house.
I tried to tell Liese that I was going out, but she seemed to be sleeping, so I did not call out to her.
I hope she rests well and gets better soon.
As Sam and Karen were leaving the house, they saw a familiar figure at the gate.
"Kurando-sama?"
"Hello, Samuel, Ms. Karen."
Amamiya Kuraton, the sword master, who was more gaunt than when we met the other day, still greeted Sam and the others with a soft smile on his face.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
