The problem is that animals feel hot when they touch warm water.
Birds too.
I wondered if it would be dangerous for a reptile like Gu poison, but I soon shook my head.
‘These guys aren’t ordinary animals, so I guess it doesn’t matter.’
Sijo’s appearance was quite cute, but it was an excellent breed of falcon that flew around the battlefield gathering information.
It’s a guy who lives among demons with thick demonic energy, so of course, a little hot water wouldn’t be a problem.
Gu poison is…
I don’t need to worry about this guy.
Judging from the fact that he repelled Terias in one blow, he seems to be stronger than me.
“Then let’s wash together.”
I took off my clothes and threw them outside the bathroom, then entered the bathtub with Sijo and Gu poison.
Ah, this is nice.
I could feel the warm warmth enveloping my body.
All the fatigue from before seemed to melt away, and my face naturally relaxed.
― Beep…….
- …….
Sijo seemed to really like the temperature of the bathwater and enjoyed the bath with a tired expression.
Gu poison wrapped around my arm and only stuck its face out.
“Good.”
As I washed with the animals after a long time, old memories came flooding back.
I had a younger sister.
I had been so busy since I came to the Demon Realm that I had forgotten about her, but sometimes when things were tough, I would often recall memories of my family.
When was it…….
One day, my younger sister wanted to raise a puppy, so she brought home an abandoned dog that had been left outside.
Of course, my parents made a fuss, telling her to throw it out right away.
But my sister stubbornly ignored my parents and diligently washed the puppy with me.
When we were younger, we were so close that we even took baths together.
But at some point, after we both entered puberty, we started fighting like most siblings.
……When I’m exhausted, I end up thinking about my enemies.
Anyway.
‘Should I organize my thoughts?’
Gulp-.
I submerged my mouth in the water and blew bubbles, lost in thought.
It’s still too early to obtain information about Chaos, so I’ll put that aside for now.
For now, I’ve decided that the first thing I need to do is restore Adel’s original power.
But how can I quickly restore Adel’s original power?
The current me is stronger than Adel at this point in the original story.
It might be greedy, but it’s not like there’s no way.
‘Information Paper.’
In the human world, I received Adel’s power through the Information Paper.
Thanks to that, I was able to defeat all the knights and come to the Demon World.
But there was something that Adel didn’t give me, and that was Adel’s unique secret mana method.
So I couldn’t learn the Mana Method and ended up learning the Mana Method of Bares from Crete.
So I need to change my method.
‘It’s not that the Mana Method of Bares is bad.’
The Mana Method of the Bares family was definitely excellent.
Even compared to the Mana Methods of the Six Families, it wouldn’t be too far behind.
Judging from the amount and density of mana that Rene possessed, the quality wasn’t bad, as expected of a family of the Seven Deadly Sins.
It could be said to be one of the best Mana Methods in the Demon World.
However.
‘Adel’s Mana Method is even better, and it would suit my body better.’
The method of Bares is excellent, but it was originally created for the members of Bares.
Of course, it couldn’t help but be slower for me to grow than Adel’s method, which had been modified to suit his body in the original story.
That’s why I need to learn the method that Adel used in the original story.
It’s essential for faster growth.
“Let me write it down once……”
Splash-.
I got out of the bathtub and pulled out the Information Paper from the clothes that were spread out on the bathroom floor.
Then, I picked up the fountain pen and wrote down what I wanted on the information paper.
― The formula and usage of a mana cultivation technique suitable for my body.
Then, words immediately began to appear on the information paper.
『 This is information that requires a price. 』
『 Please pay a price of at least a legendary-grade artifact or 10,000 gold. 』
‘Crazy.’
It’s telling me to pay an artifact that has surpassed a epic and entered the realm of legends.
My hands and feet trembled.
Right now, I didn’t even have 1,000 gold, let alone 10,000 gold.
If I were to calculate it in terms of the human world’s currency, it would be like asking me to hand over a treasure worth hundreds of billions.
But if you were to ask me if there was absolutely no way to obtain it…
‘Well, there is a way.’
If I were to rank highly in this midterm exam, I would be able to choose another artifact from Sytan’s warehouse.
Last time, the limit was a myth-grade artifact, but who knows?
The necklace around my neck, whose identity could only be revealed by sacrificing a god.
It’s possible that a treasure equivalent to that has been added.
And if even that’s not enough, I’ll just have to somehow obtain it by conquering the secret realm that I’ll find out about through Kyle.
The problem is,
‘Whether that Ares guy gave me a good score.’
The other instructors were likely to have given me a good score.
Unless they didn’t watch the footage.
They would have all seen it, so getting a low score would be harder than getting a perfect score.
However.
I have my doubts about that Ares guy.
And then there’s that suspicious behavior he showed me in front of the infirmary.
‘Why did he ask for a handshake…….’
Hmm.
Let’s just sleep for now.
Rustle-.
I wiped away the moisture with a towel and threw my body onto the bed.
Before I knew it, Sijo and Gu poison, who had finished bathing, were burying their bodies in towels.
And so, I, who had returned from the human world, was able to fall into a deeper sleep than usual.
