The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 34.4
Thud.
“Ah! Vanessa, Vanessa! Rikka, go get Mergin!”
Vanessa finally returned home and collapsed inside. Rikka hurried to find Mergin.
“Mergin! Mergin! Vanessa is—”
Mergin, who was about to fall asleep, was irritated at being woken up.
“What is it? We agreed to discuss it after breakfast tomorrow.”
“Vanessa collapsed!”
“Did she use the Night Scope on the way back?”
“Yes. She was excited and ran around alone. Then she collapsed when she got home.”
“Then it’s magical power depletion. Let her sleep and she’ll recover. Good night.”
Mergin was forcibly taken by Rikka, who wanted him to come along.
“You should clean up more.”
Does living with just women make things so messy? Clothes are left lying around. Even underwear is hanging out…
“More importantly, please take care of Vanessa properly.”
“I told you there’s no need to check. It’s magical power depletion. She simply used too much magic and lost consciousness. Usually, one becomes too tired to use magic before this happens. Really, is she a child?”
Since Iris had also collapsed in the same way.
“I told you not to use magic without listening to the warnings. If magical power completely runs out, it’s fatal.”
“Huh?”
“Vanessa is on the verge of death.”
“Is it that dangerous?”
“Don’t worry. The magic is set not to activate before your magical power is completely exhausted. Normally, you would feel extreme fatigue and collapse before losing all magical power. People usually notice their magical power depletion when they start feeling tired.”
“I see…”
“Listen to what I say about magic. If you can’t, I’ll make sure you can’t use it.”
“Understood. I’ll make sure to explain everything to Vanessa when she wakes up.”
Mergin, still fuming, went back to his room.
“Hey, Rikka.”
“Oh, magic is really scary.”
“More importantly, was it okay for Mergin to see the hanging underwear?”
“Ah…”
“You can’t talk about Vanessa either.”
Rikka, uncharacteristically, also turned bright red.
