Swinging the Kalspelliver he held in his hand a few times into the air, he performed a simple yet impressive swordplay. Soon after, Askan cut his own hand, letting blood fall onto Kalspelliver. A low, humming sound began as the weapon started resonating.
Like all magical engineering weapons, it was a process of imprinting the owner.
The red light emanating from Kalspelliver filled the room. Flames flickered from the sharp edge of Kalspelliver, and in an instant, the entire blade turned into burning flames.
Askan’s eyes widened at the spectacle, resembling the eyes of a child.
“The ability of Kalspelliver I heard about seems a bit different.”
“Yeah. To make sure no one recognizes Kalspelliver, the method of flames had to change, right?”
I was confident that if it weren’t for me, no one would have succeeded.
I perfected the appearance, but I also prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. I changed the method of using flames to something different from the original.
I dare say, if it weren’t for me, no one would have succeeded. I changed the appearance perfectly, but I prepared for any unforeseen circumstances by altering the method of using flames in a different way than before.
Askan looked at me with a sincerely admiring expression. “Impressive. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this good.”
“Beyond your imagination?”
“Yes, it’s outstanding.”
I playfully asked, but his serious response surprised me. Askan, who usually didn’t speak flattering words, seemed even more pleased than receiving compliments from anyone else.
While I anticipated that he would like the completed Kalspelliver, I didn’t expect him to be this thrilled.
“Receiving such praise from you feels like a reward for all the hard work I’ve done.”
“Is praise enough? If you have any wishes, just tell me. I want to grant anything you desire.”
Askan’s words seemed sincere. He wasn’t the type to make empty promises.
“I did it for you, and if I receive compensation, the meaning would be distorted. I’m glad I could study magic formulas. Seeing you happy is enough.”
Askan chuckled, squinting his eyes. His affectionate gaze made it feel like I had received all the rewards.
“Who taught you such beautiful words?”
“What, did you forget to refuse once again?”
Askan smirked and put Kalspelliver back into its scabbard.
“Thank you. Bill would really like this.”
I knew about Askan and Bill’s past from reading the novel. Suddenly, I was about to ask about Bill but stopped myself involuntarily.
Forgetting about Kalspelliver, I noticed that Askan’s shirt was still unbuttoned, presenting a rather provocative sight.
As I became aware of it, my face gradually heated up. I discreetly turned my gaze and pointed at Askan’s shirt with my finger.
“Um, you should button up now.”
At my words, Askan looked at the slightly opened shirt. Then, with a teasing expression, he said, “Would you like to do it for me?”
…What?
Surprised, I unintentionally looked at Askan again.
For a moment, I was speechless. I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was deliberately teasing me, but my heart couldn’t stop pounding.
Unable to refute, I stood there, and Askan’s lips loosened.
“Come on.”
With a seductive remark, he lightly grabbed the open shirt with his large hand.
Before I knew it, my face was turning bright red, almost to the point of exploding.
This won’t do.
I might cause an accident like this.
I quickly escaped from the room, leaving Askan behind.
“You, you, you shouldn’t say such things lightly!”
What if he impulsively strips off instead of letting me dress him!
Suddenly, memories of what happened with Askan ten years ago came to mind.
“I belong to Miss, so feel free to undress and touch me as you please.”
“I can’t condone such actions without your consent…”
“I like it.”
Askan spoke as if the version of himself who had lost his memory and his current self were different people, but from my perspective, he looked exactly the same as before, like a carbon copy.
Back then, someone had warned against such behavior unless it was a deliberate attempt to seduce someone, but it seemed to be forgotten due to memory loss.
Somehow, Askan’s low laughter seemed to echo in my ears.
