Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 23.1

The bruise that remained on Prince Alberic’s face seemed fittingly described as a curse of deep darkness, so severe was its condition.

His face was covered in dark bruises, leaving only a part of his right cheek untouched, as if he had been splashed with ink from head to toe.

Not only his face but also his scalp and hair were affected. From the crown to the front, his hair was dark, while the rest remained blonde.

“How does it look? Ugly, isn’t it?”

“I don’t find it ugly, but it does seem quite challenging.”

“Can you make this face presentable in public?”

“Of course. That’s why I’m here.”

The technique to remove the curse of deep darkness was not achieved through my efforts alone.

Without Rosetta enduring the shame of exposing her skin as a woman and fulfilling her role as a subject, I wouldn’t have been able to master it.

Considering that, I can’t afford to belittle my skill.

I must proceed with confidence.

As with Rosetta’s time, Ludienne was present to assist in Alberic’s treatment.

In case of any damage to the skin, preparations were made to immediately apply healing magic.

After confirming the extent of the bruise, which stretched from the crown to the face and down to the neck and shoulders, though not reaching the lower abdomen, I felt relieved.

Even if it’s an order from the royal family, I’d rather avoid tasks that involve scrutinizing a man’s private parts.

After discussing the extent and current state of the bruise, Ludienne and I discussed how to proceed with the treatment.

“Yuto, where should we start?”

“Well… How about we start with the scalp?”

“Is there a reason for that?”

“Yes, I’d like to remove the scalp pigmentation first and then see what color the hair grows in.”

“I see. So you’ll remove just the scalp pigmentation and leave the hair as it is?”

“Yes. Most likely, removing the scalp pigmentation will result in blonde hair growing instead of black, so it’s better to adjust the hair pigment removal to match the root color.”

“Understood. Your Highness, may I start with the scalp?”

“Yes, you have my permission.”

“Thank you very much.”

With Prince Alberic’s approval, we immediately began the treatment. However, removing the scalp pigmentation proved more challenging than expected due to interference from the growing hair.

There was a difference in pigmentation settling between the scalp itself and the cells responsible for hair growth, so I proceeded carefully, comparing it repeatedly with normal parts.

Come to think of it, I finished Rosetta’s lower abdomen without comparing it to the scalp and hair pigmentation. Could it be that only her pubic hair turned blonde?

It’s too late to ask for confirmation now, so this mystery will likely remain unsolved.

The treatment for Albert was scheduled for six hours a day: two sessions in the morning, two breaks, a light lunch, and two afternoon sessions.

By the end of the day, we managed to remove about five millimeters of pigmentation at the hairline, which pleased Albert when he inspected it in the mirror.

“Yes, I didn’t feel any pain during the treatment, and seeing the bruise disappear from my body again was quite moving.”

“Since today was my first time working on the scalp, I believe we can increase the pace gradually from tomorrow onward.”

“Yes, I trust you. By the way, Yuto, have you been practicing the severing transfer magic we discussed?”

“Severing transfer magic? No, Your Highness. I haven’t used it since demonstrating it to you.”
