The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 104: Asked to Marry the Granddaughter ①

Translated by AmaLynne

「Greetings, Red Dragon-sama, Samuel Scheidt-dono. My name is Murasaki Magnolia. I am a recovery wizard in the first seat of the court wizards.」

In the reception room of Earl Walker’s house, a woman in her mid-fifties showed a gentle smile.

Sitting on the sofa, her demeanor was calm and conveyed an air of serenity.

Her indigo hair, which had a hint of gray in it, was tied up in a bun at the top of her head.

The clothes he wore were different from those we see in the Sky Kingdom, she was wearing a traditional outfit.

「I am Samuel Scheidt. Thank you very much for coming to see me.」

「Same」

Sam greets her politely while sitting on the sofa, to which the Red Dragon responds irreverently with her legs crossed.

Sam poked her with his elbow, but her attitude did not change.

「No, Samuel-dono has fought for this country, and the Red Dragon-sama is a victim. It is only natural that we should help.」

「Thank you.」

There are no members of the Earl Walker family here.

The counts who greeted Magnolia first are waiting in another room for the treatment to be finished.

「Well then, let’s get on with the treatment. Excuse me, Red Dragon-sama.」

「Oh, please.」

Magnolia stood up, went behind the cross-legged burning dragon, gently covered her body as if to embrace her, and poured magic power into her.

「As expected of a dragon, most of the wounds seem to be closed. I don’t know whether to be surprised at the dragon’s resilience or Samuel-dono for inflicting this much damage.」

While Magnolia was smiling, the dragon’s wounds were healing.

The visible lacerations were closed by simple recovery magic and the dragon’s healing power, but not the internal parts of the dragon.

As evidence of this, the skin peeking through the Red Dragon’s clothing was covered with numerous bruises.

However, thanks to Magnolia’s recovery magic, those bruises were disappearing cleanly.

「―――Wow. That’s wonderful recovery magic. Thank you.」

「I am honored by your praise. Now, the next one is Samuel-dono.」

「Please.」

In one breath, Magnolia had finished treating the damage Red Dragon, and then began treating Sam.

In the same way, wrapping her arms around Sam’s body, she began to flow with magic power.

「…this is awesome.」

The soft and warm magic power flowed into the body.

Sam could feel his body healing from the inside out.

One by one, the dull aches and pains in Sam’s body began to fade away, leaving him feeling lighter and lighter.

In less than a minute, Sam was completely healed.

「We’re done. Are either of you feeling any different?」

「No. I’m are completely cured. Now I can unhumanize.」

「I have no problem either. Thank you, Magnolia-sama.」

When Sam thanked her, Magnolia smiled and nodded. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

Then, returning to the sofa, she sipped the tea, which was still steaming, and exhaled heavily.

「Phew. As I get older, I get tired of exercising magic. Well, Samuel-dono.」

「Yes?」

「I have a question for you.」

「What is it?」

After the preamble, Magnolia looked Sam straight in the eye and then opened her mouth.

「I have lived my life thinking that my mission is to heal the wounded, regardless of race or species.」

「I think that’s admirable.」

「Thank you. Therefore, it is not okay to take life. So let me ask you a question. Was it necessary to kill Albert Frege?」

「Yes.」

When asked by Magnolia the same question the king asked, Sam, asserts.

「Was there no hesitation?」

「Yes, he insulted my master, my family, and the people I cared about. There was no way I could forgive him. Besides, he had been illegally trading in fantasy species and demons, and he had put this country in an unprecedented crisis. He would have been executed even without my hand in it.」

There was no reason to let Albert live.

People like that would never admit to anything wrong with them, and they often resent back.

There was a good chance that someone he cared about might get hurt because of his unnecessary mercy.

In that case, it would have been much better to kill him without leaving any sorrow.

「Surely, he would not have been spared the death penalty. His Majesty decided to destroy Count Frege and his family, the Viscounts. Albert’s father would have been executed for his crime, and the rest of his family and relatives would have been deported.」

「I think that’s all they did.」

No sympathy for him.

Albert’s parents are responsible for not disciplining their son properly so that he would not do such a thing.

「I agree with you, but I was against the harsh punishment.」

「You should cherish your thoughts, Magnolia-sama. I will continue on my path.」

Regardless of whether Magnolia disagreed, Sam would have made the same choice again and again.

Even if someone like Albert appeared in the future, he would do the same again.

Magnolia’s kindness is nice, but it is only Magnolia’s idea, not Sam’s.

For some reason, Magnolia smiled at Sam.

「It’s nice to be young. You are very straight, and that dazzles me, and I envy you. What do you think, Samuel-dono, would you like to marry my granddaughter?」
