Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 233

Neighbor(1)

“At the Sinclair Tower?”

– Yes, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to do this either… … .

“no. It is unavoidable.”

Lennok picked up his phone and answered calmly.

“Considering Aris’ current situation, it would be better to get things in order now.”

-… … Did you know too?

“It was hard to pretend I didn’t know, watching from the sidelines once a week.”

-… … .

Aris didn’t answer for a while, probably embarrassed as well.

Not surprising. The fact that she truly put the end of her self-modification right in front of her was not very strange.

Rather than being disturbed by the mage tower right before reaching the end of the hierarchy, he must be saying that he would rather deal with the troublesome problems now.

Rather, after reaching the level of Aspect, the Mage Tower would not be able to interfere with her any more.

Even in the Mage Tower with a long tradition and history, the existence of a pure-blooded wizard who completed the hierarchy was extremely rare, so it wouldn’t be strange to be treated on an equal footing with the Tower’s Senate.

“Don’t worry, let’s go.”

Lennok replied.

“I think I will have a lot of things to do for the time being.”

As usual, as soon as he hung up the phone after asking each other how he was doing, a heavy roar erupted from behind Lennok.

Chunk! Chunk!

cooong! thump thump!!

An incessant roaring noise.

But instead of annoyance, Lennok’s face was filled with unknown pride.

“It’s finally time to move.”

The days when it was ambiguous even the time to sleep at home, let alone move house.

The data from alchemy and various magic research are piling up day by day.

Is it lucky or bad that the simple research lab that was made by renovating the room was cramped and was given enough time to move to the nest only when it was on the verge of bursting?

In any case, after such a long period of perseverance, Lennok was finally able to move into a new officetel in the 30th district.

It is not too far from the area where the apartment was located before, but it is a place where you can be guaranteed a wide area and personal space.

Although it was more expensive than before, it was no longer a big problem for Lennok.

[Now you can finally arrange a home for me.]

When Dabi, who was on top of her shoulder, spoke proudly, Lennok let out a blank laugh.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t make a separate toad house for the brain spirit anywhere. Even here, if you cut off the electricity at home, you will not be able to see the outside world for a month.”

It’s an absurd fact even though Lennok said it himself, but Darby often took advantage of Lennok’s sleep to enter the toad’s house and steal the house’s electricity.

[Isn’t it impossible if Master pays attention? It would be nice if you could find a useful power source while building the laboratory.]

Lennok, feeling ominous at Darby’s words, asked immediately.

“… … Are you sure you’re not aiming for my magic core?”

[…] … .]

Instead of answering, Darby slightly turned his head away.

Lennok nodded.

“good. Be aware that you will not even behold the compassion of the Archangel for a while.”

[…] … !!!]

It seems that this has happened before, but Lennok had no intention of feeding Darby the artifact he needed to use.

Wouldn’t it be better to leave control to her and use it as a combat aid? Does it make sense to endure the loss of items in exchange for unguaranteed growth?

Lennok shoved Darby, who was struggling with a sense of urgency, into his arms and greeted the moving company employees with a smile.

“You have worked hard.”

“Whoa… … Once all the moved luggage is finished, I think the landlord will have to organize the rest himself.”

The employee said that and held out the tablet.

“All you have to do is pay here, and that’s it.”

“All right.”

I roughly wrote down Evan’s name and sent the employees off, but I heard the employees in the truck muttering in the distance.

“Why are you carrying around so many papers?”

“Where do you become an archaeologist? They say they prefer analog storage rather than data.”

“Your taste is so classic.”

“… … .”

Now that the furniture has been roughly aligned, it’s time to organize the luggage.

Even when I first came to this street, I was only carrying a handgun and shabby clothes, but before I knew it, I had enough luggage to use a company like this.

Could it be that everyday life was settled in knowingly and unknowingly even in Lennok’s time, which did not feel any leisure at all?

It was not an illusion that I felt a strange feeling that I did not realize when I bought it through internet shopping, and felt it only after moving.

Remove the wrapping paper from the furniture and arrange the tape.

After closing the ventilated windows and tidying up the outlets and wires, Lennok’s body was covered with sweat.

“Whoa, whoa… … .”

Darby looked up at Lennok with a confused look on his face as he pulled out and bit the tobacco.

With this poor stamina, even tidying up and cleaning the house is a chore.

After doing what he could do by hand, Lennok used his magic to clean away the remaining dust and debris.

After finishing such a tedious tidying up, the moment I finally went in with a towel toward the new shower room.

Suddenly, a loud noise started to echo from the ceiling.

thud! thud! thud!!

“… … ?”

The moment Lennok tilted his head and went back into the shower, the noise came again.

thud! thud!

“… … Probably not.”

He hadn’t expected to be bothered by the noise between floors since the day he moved in, but Lennok shrugged his shoulders and went straight into the shower.

In a day or so tomorrow, the essential barriers and defense techniques to be installed in this house could be completed.

It was not even a task for Lennok to block the noise by adding a noise barrier to it.

There seemed to be a rather rude neighbor living upstairs, but considering the idea of ​​setting up a much larger laboratory, it didn’t matter.

Until the next morning, when Lennok woke up, he heard a loud noise coming from the ceiling.

“… … .”

Lennok, scratching his messy hair with a dazed expression, asked Darby.

“Were you like that all night?”

[Perhaps.]

“Hmm, not a good thing… … .”

Lennok crossed his arms and thought.

If it’s just to the extent of making noise occasionally, it’s enough for Lennok to set up a noise barrier and ignore it, but if he makes noise like that all night long, he’s not an ordinary psychopath.

Even if Lennok tolerates it, there’s a good chance other neighbors won’t.

It is only natural that quarrels caused by noise between floors lead to trouble.

For Lennok, who had to spend his time in the residence as quietly and without trace as possible, it was not something to just ignore.

“I should have looked more closely and bought a house… … .”

This had never happened in the apartment I had been in before, and in the one-room before that, I didn’t think much of it because I thought I would do it no matter what happened.

At that time, I just hit it with force and tried to solve it, but isn’t it hard to do that until now?

Lennok, who was worried, stood up.

[Isn’t there a way to do something?]

“Because it doesn’t have to be solved by force.”

Once you’ve confirmed that the other person is really a face-confiscated psychopath, there’s plenty you can do.

“Once you show me what a haunted house looks like, you can move out on your own.”

[…] … It’s a truly terrifying idea.]

“Let’s go up first.”

Saying that, Lennok was about to reach the front door when a cheerful doorbell suddenly rang.

Ding-dong.

-excuse me. I am the person upstairs.

“what?”

Lennok and Darby met their eyes.

[…] … It seems he wasn’t a very conscienceless person.]

“As long as I come to apologize first… … .”

[Maybe he didn’t come here to apologize?]

– I want to apologize for what happened last night.

To the retort, as if he was listening through the door, Darby gave a timid reply.

[…] … I’m glad.]

“Let’s just apologize and send it back. After all, we just need to set up a good noise barrier.”

The important thing is to avoid drawing attention to Lennok’s residence because of trouble with the neighbors.

For Lennok, who plans to convert this space into a laboratory in the future, comfort was a very important factor.

The moment I opened the front door right away, the person standing outside the door muttered once more.

– Is there anyone inside?

Lennox’s face hardened.

‘Wait, this voice… … !’

It is that of an acquaintance who is so familiar that one wonders why he hadn’t noticed it until now.

In my head, I instantly figured out who the other person was on the other side of the door, but surprisingly, his body didn’t stop.

The moment before the doorknob already held in your hand turns naturally and the lock is unlocked and the door opens.

[Face Off]

Lennok succeeded in dramatically changing his face and magic pattern.

“Ah, there you are. Nice to meet you. He lives upstairs.”

Neat black hair parted from around the shoulders. Green eyes that are quite different even in this area.

It’s been a while since we’ve met face to face, but even after time passes, that neat appearance is still the same.

head of the agent. A high-ranking archer called Hyeongung.

Evelyn Marcia was looking up at Lennok, expressionless.

“… … .”

How could there be such a coincidence?

To think that the neighbor next door to the newly relocated officetel with so much care was, of course, Evelyn.

Should I have investigated the identities of nearby neighbors while moving houses?

Lennok inadvertently raised one hand to check whether the disguise magic had worked.

I had forgotten about it for a while because it was so long ago, but she had the ability to see not only the opponent’s mana, but also its pattern.

If you’re thinking of disguising your identity in front of her, you shouldn’t let your guard down.

“Bar, nice to meet you.”

“Last night, I felt I was rude, so I want to apologize. This is a gift.”

Saying that, Evelyn passed the bundle of vegetables she had hidden behind her back into Lennok’s arms.

“… … .”

While Lennok, who had received all kinds of vegetables without saying anything, nodded, she spoke again.

“I was planning to move soon, so I was packing my stuff, but at night I was a bit engrossed in work, so I didn’t pay attention to the noise between floors. sorry.”

“no… … . it’s okay. It could be.”

“By the way, are you a wizard?”

“… … .”

As Lennok gulped down dry saliva, Evelyn put on a slightly embarrassed expression.

“No, it’s nothing special, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere… … it’s nothing.”

It seemed certain that he still remembered the magic pattern that Lennok had displayed just before opening the door.

Even though it had been nearly two years since Lennok met her at the vegetable market with her original face, she still remembered that magic pattern.

He was a truly meticulous person. I have no choice but to stick out my flippers here.

“I don’t know. Maybe you misunderstood someone else… … Is that why you came down like this?”

Did you come to apologize because you thought you were someone you knew?

When I spoke softly with a smile on my face, Evelyn took a step back with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“… … .no. It’s really not, I’m really sorry. It probably won’t happen until I move.”

“All right.”

“Yes, thank you for your understanding. then… … .”

click.

Woooooo!!

As soon as the door closes, it casts noise magic and even installs a barrier that blocks the presence.

Lennok let out a sigh of relief only after confirming Evelyn’s presence had disappeared up the stairs.

“Whoa… … .”

[It was dangerous.]

“I was completely distracted. No, I didn’t even notice until right before I opened the door.”

[Did Evelyn Marcia evade the master’s magic detection?]

“No, rather than that… … . The magic pattern is not read well. This is no different from before.”

Lennok’s eyes shone sharply as he crouched against the wall.

You can tell them apart if you face them face-to-face and check the moment they use their magic, but if you don’t recognize them properly, you won’t be able to see them.

If Lennok felt this way, other people wouldn’t even be able to recognize her magic pattern.

“The ability to read other people’s magical patterns while hiding your own magical patterns… … It’s very funny.”

Grinding his teeth lightly, Lennok jumped up from his seat.

“Once Ibelin moves out, full-scale research is suspended. If there’s someone who’s sensitive to magic like that, there’s room to feel suspicious no matter how meticulously the lab is renovated.”

[You seem to be running away.]

“… … .”

Lennox silently grabbed Darby by the tail and lifted her up.

[I’m sorry.]

Darby struggled on his front paws, but Lennok didn’t care.

“I should have asked when you were going to move, but I made a mistake. Of all the many agents… … .”

Although he interacted frequently with Evelyn because of his affair with the cartel, Lennok never forgot what kind of monster she was.

Power and distribution enough to stop that Croken Asilus, even for a moment.

In addition, he is a skilled archer with phenomenal archery skills that allows him to snipe from a distance of several kilometers single-handedly and capture the target alive in a building.

There is no way to know exactly how much she has achieved, but she must also have something similar to the ‘microcosm’ that Antares talked about.

Judging from the skills he has shown so far, he is a monster that will never fall behind or fall behind Lennok.

I had no intention of leaving such a talented person as a neighbor upstairs and hastily giving it a chance.

If Evelyn hadn’t said that they were moving soon, Lennok would have started looking for a house again.

[How would you like to do research without a laboratory?]

Darby’s horse was caught by the tail and dangling, Lennok flipped through the research book with his other hand.

“I recorded the flow of magical energy in the stationary demon eye that Iola handed over as collateral. Interpret this and remodel it in a way that does not put too much strain on the body. At this level, it won’t be easy for Evelyn to notice.”

[Oh oh.]

“If it can be modified by projecting it onto the retina, rather than directly imprinting the flow of magic in the eyes, the side effects of mana addiction can be significantly reduced. You will be able to use the Mystic Eye during battle without having to endure any side effects.”

[Can you please drop it now?]

In addition, the Pilates membership, which was cut off right before going to the autonomous region, must be renewed gradually.

I don’t know if Lancia, who was the president of the studio, still remembers Lennok, but Lennok was satisfied with her skills in his own way.

Even if it doesn’t help much to solve the underlying problem, it is quite helpful in adjusting Lennok’s condition, which is constantly jagged.

It was to imprint on the body how to use the muscles and train the core muscles to bring the body into balance, even a little bit, but even that was nothing short of significant progress for Lennox’s fragile body.

“There is a lot of work to be done. Until this Bellin moves out, he renovates the laboratory and takes care of the work that has been postponed one by one. And take the opportunity to find out information about when you are moving.”

[Was that something that had to be planned like this?]

“Dabi.”

Lennog grabbed Darby by the tail.

“You really don’t need a toad house, right?”

[Analyzing Evelyn Marcia’s behavior pattern. In about three days, you should be able to draw a good forecasting line.]

“good.”

Keep a distance, erase traces, and carefully figure out your schedule.

This is not Ban’s living space, but the house where Lennok sleeps and studies.

Even if the other person is an acquaintance you have known for a long time, you will have to be extra careful in your movements.

But it only took less than a day for Lennok and Darby’s efforts to fail.

The very next morning, Evelyn Marcia visited Jenny’s bar.
