Chapter 298 - Chapter 298 Supplying Mana to Ram

[EMM is an absolute defense magic, usable once per day. It can be maintained continuously until mana is exhausted, involving time and space. During activation, those inside the barrier cannot move but are also unaffected by anything outside the barrier.] (T/N: EMM and EMT are original magic created by Subaru and Beatrice.)

[EMT is an absolute restoration magic, usable once per day. It creates a spherical area tens of meters in diameter centered on the user. All magic within the area is reduced to mana, but it's ineffective against enemies not reliant on mana.]

[Minya: Mana arrows. Upon hitting the enemy quickly, they shatter the target into pieces.]

[El Minya: Same as Minya, but the number of arrows increases to 40. Takeru can increase it even more.]

[Ul Minya: Creates purple rings around the target, rapidly constricting and binding them, then launching a devastating attack. Drawback: extremely high mana consumption.]

[Door Crossing: The one currently used to connect the Forbidden Library's door to any desired door. Can be used for limited transportation of items.]

[Infinite Corridor: Connects the space where the target is located end-to-end, reshaping it into a ring. The path the target takes repeats until they find the correct door to exit.]

Apart from these Yin Magics, Takeru also copied all other magics Beatrice mastered, including her Healing Magic.

Beatrice's Healing Magic guides water-attribute mana to heal injuries, and its effectiveness depends on the user's skill and talent.

Though slightly less effective than Takeru's Advanced Healing, it gave Takeru some technical inspiration, improving his Advanced Healing a bit and boosting his confidence in treating Ram.

Additionally, Takeru learned curse removal and identification, even some simple curses.

After copying all her magics from Beatrice, Takeru could only further improve himself through the Forbidden Library's magics.

But for Takeru, who now deeply understood magic's essence, this wasn't very difficult.

After demonstrating all her magics, Beatrice was panting. Seeing this, Takeru picked her up and actively transferred mana to her.

"You really are a monster, aren't you?" Seeing Takeru learn all her magics in less than a night, and most importantly, while she had almost exhausted her vast mana from using magic, Takeru looked completely relaxed, making her somewhat envious and jealous.

As for Takeru, if he only relied on his own 2000+ mana, it might not be enough. But with the over 100,000 mana reserves from Gluttony, he felt no pressure at all.

"Master, Beatrice-sama." As Takeru carried Beatrice back to the mansion, he encountered Ram and Rem, who respectfully greeted him.

"Mm-hmm. By the way, Ram, do you have enough mana in your body?" Seeing Ram, Takeru asked with a light laugh.

"Mm-hmm, there's still some left. But it will probably all dissipate in about two days." Hearing Takeru, Ram replied hesitantly.

"I see. Come to my room in one hour." Hearing her, Takeru thought for a moment and spoke.

Hearing Takeru, Ram was stunned. But considering Takeru was now her master, she had no reason to refuse any request.

And since Takeru mentioned mana, it should just be a simple mana supply... probably...

Sighing lightly, Ram stopped overthinking. Moreover, looking at Takeru, if he would treat the two sisters well in the future, then that kind of thing might not be unacceptable!

Takeru didn't care about Ram's swirling thoughts. After speaking with her, he directly carried Beatrice and effortlessly used Door Crossing to enter the Forbidden Library.

Seeing Takeru, who had just learned the magic but seemed more proficient than herself, Beatrice sighed. She had suffered too many blows and couldn't even complain anymore.

"What's wrong? Still feeling tired? As compensation, I'll hold you while you sleep tonight." Seeing Beatrice's expression, Takeru said with a laugh.

"Who... who wants to be held while sleeping, you pervert!" Hearing Takeru, Beatrice's body tensed, and her face flushed red.

Though she had grown accustomed to Takeru's hugs and forehead kisses, hearing Takeru wanted to hold her while sleeping made Beatrice extremely nervous and shy.

Though she had lived for many years and learned much, this was her first experience with such a thing. She was somewhat afraid Takeru might... do something to her.

"Eh? Betty is so eager? I understand!" Hearing Beatrice, Takeru showed a shocked expression and spoke directly.

"You... you! Didn't you say you were going to find your little maid?" Seeing Takeru's terrifying comprehension ability, Beatrice was speechless. But since she couldn't beat him, she remembered something and spoke.

"Eh? So Betty is jealous because I'm going to find Ram? Don't worry, after helping Ram, I'll come back to you." Hearing her, Takeru directly applied corporate-level understanding.

Hearing Takeru, Beatrice was completely speechless. But for some reason, she felt no rejection in her heart. Instead, she glanced at the Gospel book that had been blank for centuries nearby, then looked at Takeru.

'Could Takeru really be the person Betty was waiting for?'

Beatrice remembered it hadn't even been two days, yet Takeru had forcefully appeared, disrupting her heart that had been still for four hundred years. This left her at a loss. The most important thing was perhaps fear of loss.

Beatrice, who feared loneliness immensely, closed off her heart because she feared developing emotions only to have those around her leave repeatedly. She never wanted to experience that pain of loss again...

But now, it seemed impossible. Staring blankly at the gentle Takeru, Beatrice felt a mix of emotions, making a certain decision in her heart.

Takeru, unaware of Beatrice's resolve, teased her a bit, then held Beatrice and sat in her usual favorite spot. Using telekinesis, he drew a book before him and quietly read.

"Betty, what does this phrase mean?" When encountering something unclear, Takeru directly asked Beatrice.

"This is about the mana flow method. It needs to pass through this position." Hearing Takeru's question, Beatrice leaned quietly in Takeru's arms and explained.

Feeling the warmth from Takeru and seeing him rely on her, Beatrice felt very happy now and quickly answered Takeru's queries. This scene appeared incredibly warm within the Forbidden Library.

Soon, nearly an hour passed. Takeru closed the book, put Beatrice down, and stood up.

Leaving Takeru's embrace, Beatrice felt somewhat disappointed, but her expression showed no change.

"Alright, Betty, I'm leaving now. Wait here obediently for me." After putting her down, Takeru said to her with a light laugh.

"Hmph!" Hearing Takeru, Beatrice just snorted lightly but said nothing else. Takeru didn't mind, activated magic, and directly opened the Forbidden Library's door, coincidentally seeing Ram standing nervously before his room.

"Did you wait long?" Looking at Ram, Takeru asked with a light laugh.

"No, I just arrived." Seeing Takeru emerge from the Forbidden Library, Ram was momentarily surprised but showed no expression.

As Takeru closed the door and reopened it, the room returned to normal.

"Alright, Ram, come in with me." Looking at his room, Takeru spoke softly to her, then led her inside, closing the door behind them.

"Come sit here." Seeing the somewhat stiff Ram, Takeru pointed to his lap and spoke softly.

Hearing Takeru, Ram trembled slightly. But she took a deep breath, approached Takeru, and lightly sat on his lap.

Ram was light, slightly heavier than Beatrice, but both were soft, giving Takeru different sensations.

Feeling Ram was still tense, Takeru gently smoothed her short red hair.

"Ram, are you curious why Roswaal agreed to give you to me?" Looking at Ram, Takeru spoke softly.

"No. Since things have come to this, Ram won't inquire about the reasons. If Master wishes to tell Ram, Ram will remember well." Hearing Takeru, Ram spoke softly.

"Haha, such a clever girl." Hearing her, Takeru showed a smile. Not probing her master's secrets and her change in attitude pleased Takeru.
