The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 159: Challenged Into a Duel ①

Translated by AmaLynne

Two weeks had passed since he beat Julian.

Jonathan and other people who knew Misery, the head of the Michel family, were expecting her to come in the next day, but surprisingly, no complaints reached Count Walker’s family.

Sam wondered why, but then he also wondered if it was just because Julian, having had his crotch crushed, wanted nothing to do with Sam anymore.

As for Sam, he has decided that the next time he sees him, he won’t just let him slide.

He just doesn’t care about that guy anymore, and he’s back to his old life.

For the past two weeks, Sam’s life has been the same.

However, some things make him uneasy.

He has not received a single reply to any of the letters he has sent to Kotomi.

Whether her health has deteriorated or there is another reason, he does not know, but it makes him feel uneasy.

He wanted to visit her once to see how she was doing.

Also, Lise began to complain of feeling ill.

It seems to be accompanied by lethargy and drowsiness, and sometimes abdominal pain and nausea.

Sam, concerned, suggested that she see a doctor, but she insisted that she was fine.

In fact, he is not fond of seeing a doctor.

However, she forced her to promise to take a break from training and to visit a hospital that would be followed in the future, because Sam didn’t want her to get sick.

Because of this, he had to put off visiting the Amemiya family.

“Sam.”

“Hanae-sama?”

Lise was not participating in the training, and Sam is sitting on haunches reading a grimoire in the courtyard as usual.

Dressed in a traditional costume reminiscent of Chinese clothing, she had recently been staying by Lise’s side a lot.

As for Sam, he would like to be by Lise’s side, but she told him not to worry too much, so he spends lonely time alone like this.

Hanae is worried about her first friend Lise’s poor health. As for Lise, she is also comfortable with other women and lets Hanae do as she pleases.

As for Sam, he is happy to have someone who cares about his beloved fiancée.

“Can I help you?”

Sam asks her why she took the trouble to come all the way to the courtyard.

“Is there something wrong with Lise-sama?”

“No. Lise is on the bed, looking bored. Sometimes she sleeps, but it’s not that bad. Not that…I received a grimoire from Grandma.”

“That’s very kind of you.”

“I read it for a while and found it interesting. I think you won’t be bored reading it.”

“Thank you very much. Then, let’s deliver it immediately.”

“Wait.”

“Yes?”

Sam thought it was a good opportunity to show his face to the Amemiya family.

When Sam sat down to deliver the grimoire to Kotomi, who was probably itching to learn more about magic than anything else, Hanae interrupted him.

“I heard some strange story.”

“What do you mean by strange story?”

Sam asks, tilting his head at the sudden topic.

“Our servant who delivered the grimoire told me that Grandma refused the treatment.”

“That Magnolia-sama? Isn’t that unusual, or rather, a first?”

As far as Sam knows, Magnolia is a healer who will always heal you if you wish.

As long as the person is not a villain, she will heal everyone equally.

It was a bit of a surprise to hear that she would refuse to heal anyone.

“I was surprised too. She basically treats anyone. But what was more surprising was that the person she refused to treat was Julian Michel.”

“Oops.”

“Because Grandma refused to treat him, Julian is no longer able to function again as a man. She also said it would interfere with his daily life.”

“I crushed him with that intention. I was worried because I didn’t get much of a response, but I’m glad to hear that.”

Sam laugh inwardly.

Anyone who treats women like objects deserves to die as a man.

He should be thankful that he didn’t take her life.

From now on, don’t bother anyone and live quietly in the shade.

“I think Grandma was probably thinking of Sam when she refused the treatment.”

“You mean for my sake?”

“Yes. She knows that Julian is Lise’s ex-husband and that Lise is engaged to Sam.”

“Well, in other words, she’s taking my side, isn’t she, Magnolia-sama?”

“I think that’s what it means.”

“Then I should thank her for her kindness.”

Sam’s concern was that Julian would be healed.

There are few wizards, and even fewer people who can use recovery magic, but even so, the other person is the next head of a noble family.

He had considered the possibility of a restoration wizard making a move for Julian.

However, the best recovery wizard in the kingdom did not move.

Perhaps it was partly because she was on Sam’s side, but it was probably because she somehow got the message that Julian was about to make a move on Hanae as well.

There is no way that Magnolia, who dotes on her grandchildren, would have approved of that.

Sam was rather impressed by his thick skin, wondering how he could have brazenly asked for medical treatment.

“Grandma likes Sam. That’s why she set him up with me. I think she was worried that if she treated Julian, it would cause clashes between her and Sam.”

“I see.”

“But thank God for Grandma. I am also happy for Julian. He made Lise suffer, so he should suffer more than that.”

“I agree. I’m not interested in that man anymore. Rather, let’s deliver the grimoire to Kotomi-chan.”

After such an exchange, the two of them put a few grimoires in their handbags and were about to head to the Amemiya house.

Sam tried to tell Liese he was going out, but she seemed to be sleeping, so she didn’t.

Sam hope she rests well and gets better soon.

Then, as Sam and Hanae were going out of the mansion, they saw a familiar figure in front of the person.

“Kurando-sama?”

“Hello, Samuel-kun, Hanae-san.”

Kurando Amemiya, the Sword Saint, who was more gaunt than when they met him the other day, still greeted Sam and the others with a soft smile on his face.
