Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 25.1

The process of removing the curse known as the Azure Darkness requires intense concentration. Zooming in from normal vision to a microscopic world, the pigment in question is identified and transferred.

If I keep the magnification high, I lose track of where I’m working, so after about a dozen repetitions, I revert my vision to check, then zoom in again. It’s not that I actually see it with my retina and process it in my brain via the optic nerve; rather, I believe I’m perceiving it with magic power in my brain, but at first, it made me dizzy.

I don’t know how much he understands, but the First Prince Alberic rarely speaks to me during the procedure. Thanks to this, I can concentrate on my work, but that day was a bit different.

While waiting in the usual treatment room, another member of the royal family appeared along with Alberic.

“Good morning, Lord Alberic, Lady Bridget.”

“Good morning, Yuto. My sister wants to observe the procedure. Is that alright?”

“Yes, it’s no problem.”

“I see. Then I’ll leave it to you as always. Bridget, make sure not to get in the way while observing.”

“Yes, Brother. Thank you, Yuto.”

“Certainly.”

The Second Princess Bridget turned seventeen this year, the same age as us who were summoned. Her presence was on a different level than that of the girls in my class. With her well-defined features inherited from the Second Queen, her pink-blonde hair shimmering in the light, she looked like a meticulously crafted VR heroine.

I almost got lost in her beauty, but I had been warned not to stare rudely at female royalty upon our first meeting. The reason lay in the royal attire.

In this country, the basic attire is long, loose-fitting shirts and pants with tightened hems, but the royal family’s clothes are custom-made and fit their bodies. Unlike the primary colors worn by commoners, the royals’ clothes are glossy white, with gold and silver embroidery, highlighting the quality of the material.

This means that for male royalty, the degree of their physical training is evident, and for female royalty, their body lines are emphasized. Although there’s little skin exposure, Bridget’s well-developed chest was especially prominent, and I had to be careful not to let my eyes wander.

Even so, I had continued treatments while facing Rosetta’s bare body and spent every night with Araseli, so I thought I would be fine. Initially, Bridget silently observed the procedure, but she gradually began to ask questions.

“Brother, does it hurt?”

“Not at all. Besides feeling Yuto wiping away the removed pigment, I don’t feel anything.”

The Second Queen, Charlene, has asked me to perform the procedure on Bridget after finishing with Alberic. Today’s observation is likely in preparation for that, and it’s natural to feel uneasy about having something extracted from within one’s body.

However, as the one performing the treatment, I haven’t experienced it myself, so I don’t know about the pain. Rosetta, who underwent the treatment first, didn’t show any signs of enduring pain, so at least it shouldn’t be unbearable.

Once her concerns about pain were alleviated, Bridget’s questions shifted to my transfer magic. She asked how I removed the curse, what the curse was, and about pigments and cells, necessitating explanations of the terms themselves.

The medical knowledge and common sense about the human body differ between this world and Japan. While they understand the general functions of the heart, lungs, stomach, and intestines, they lack knowledge at the cellular level.

“So, our bodies are made up of countless cells?”

“Exactly.”

“Then how is life born? How do babies…”

“Your Highness, please don’t move. I can’t proceed with the treatment.”

“Oh, sorry. Let’s continue this conversation later…”

Up until now, Alberic hadn’t paid much attention to such details, but Bridget’s questions seemed to stimulate his thirst for knowledge, and he began firing off questions one after another. Moreover, he moved his body, making it impossible to perform precise treatments.

For the time being, I prioritized the treatment and decided to answer the questions during the break. The discussion started with medicine and expanded to social systems, everyday life in Japan, and the degree of civilization’s development. There were some questions I couldn’t answer due to lack of expertise, but I explained as thoroughly as possible.
