I was also curious about why my body was like this, so I cooperated willingly.
As I fidgeted, unable to stay still, Yuno held me tightly as if to tell me not to move.
The musk scent emanating from him, who wrapped his arms around my shoulders and waist, made me feel a bit lightheaded.
Dietrich smelled like b*by powder, while Yuno had a musk scent.
Who made this up?
Well, me.
After a long time, Yuno pulled away and furrowed his brow.
“Liri’s body has a normal structure.”
“Really?”
“Yes. While it can’t accumulate much magic, it’s not in a state where it can’t gather magic at all…”
Suddenly, Yuno stood up and snapped his fingers, causing a book to fly off the shelf.
Wow, that was impressive.
I wanted to do something like that too.
“This… this isn’t it. It’s not for this reason.”
Not finding what he wanted, Yuno’s face twisted for a moment before returning to a smile.
“Indeed, Liri is remarkable.”
What now?
“I thought there was no riddle I couldn’t solve, but you’ve appeared like this.”
I never expected to hear such lines here.
It felt like the confession Yuno would make to the female protagonist.
But unlike the female protagonist, who spends hot nights together with him, I felt like I’d just be dissected for exploration, so I subtly pulled back.
“Before that, do something about Dietrich.”
“If it’s the commander’s issue, I think it can be resolved soon.”
As if it wasn’t an empty promise, Yuno’s words became reality that weekend.

“Are you telling me to take this medicine?”
“Yes. While it can’t completely eliminate the symptoms, it should help increase the intervals between episodes.”
On the day when Seth and Dietrich were gathered, Yuno handed Dietrich a sky-blue potion with a yellow tint.
Dietrich wasn’t very keen on it, but he received the potion anyway.
“Cough!”
After drinking the potion, Dietrich collapsed to his knees.
The burly commander clutched his chest in pain, but Yuno merely stared at him with a lifeless gaze.
“Dietrich? Yuno, what’s wrong with Dietrich?”
“Just a moment, Liri.”
As I approached to help Dietrich, Yuno pulled me back from behind.
“If you get too close, there might be other variables.”
Eventually, Dietrich began to cough up black blood.
No way, Yuno.
Did “solving the commander’s problem” mean killing him?
Though he smiled innocently like a golden retriever, I kept forgetting that Yuno’s nature was eccentric and sensitive. He had no sense of morality.
It wasn’t that he would kill anyone like Seth; it was that he wouldn’t feel sympathy even if someone else died.
“Dietrich!”
“I’m fine, Liri.”
“Are you going to die like this?”
Seth, with his crimson eyes sparkling, asked, and I frowned.
“Cough, cough.”
After a while, Dietrich, who had coughed up more black blood, staggered to his feet.
“You bastard…!”
Drawing his sword, he attempted to strike Yuno but was blocked by a golden barrier.
“You drew your sword in front of Liri? You’re going to scare her.”
With an annoyed flick of his wrist, Dietrich fell to the ground as if an invisible hand pressed him down.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Dietrich wouldn’t easily be subdued, but he looked quite troubled right now.
The sword master had even vomited blood, so that said it all.
“Yuno.”
I pulled on his golden hair tightly, and the wizard looked like he might faint from excitement.
“Explain.”
“When I examined it before, it seemed the commander’s issue was due to his magic arrangement.”
To change that, he infused his magic into the potion, causing this phenomenon for a moment as new magic entered his body.
No wonder the potion was yellowish.
Seth, who was nearby, looked at Dietrich, who was spitting blood, and asked, “So he’s not going to die?”
“No.”
“That’s a shame.”
Seth let out a light sigh, as if genuinely disappointed, and rubbed his nose against my head.
“If you wait a moment, the potion will concentrate on the problematic area.”
“And then?”
“The issue you were worried about will be resolved.”
As I nodded, a sense of foreboding crept down my spine.
“Yuno.”
“Yes?”
“Is it possible that Dietrich… won’t be able to use his important parts?”
“Cough!”
As if he heard my question, Dietrich coughed up blood more violently, and Yuno asked in surprise, “Was that okay?”
Huh?
“Then I’ll fix it immediately!”
I grabbed Yuno, who was about to run off excitedly.
“That’s not allowed.”
“Ugh.”
Seth openly expressed his disappointment.
I need to hand you over to the female protagonist in a safe state, so no one can get hurt.
Well, honestly, Dietrich’s center had been practically dead until now, so it might be okay if he couldn’t use it anymore…
But if he met the female protagonist and fell in love, it would be sad if he couldn’t perform.
The affection of the male protagonists for the female lead is often based on an endless “I fell in love at first sight!” so the chances of Dietrich falling for her at first sight are high.
Moreover, if he couldn’t use that anymore, that would be a huge loss for humanity!
Of course, once the female protagonist appears, she will take over completely. But until she arrives, I need to keep enjoying things, so nothing can go wrong.
After another bout of coughing up blood, Dietrich’s breathing gradually stabilized.
“You!”
Now fully calm, he suddenly shot up.
Clang!
As he opened his eyes, Dietrich drew his sword, and a golden barrier appeared in front of Yuno.
Wow, this happened in the blink of an eye?
“You bastard, were you trying to kill me?”
“It was a temporary effect caused by my magic entering your body.”
Yuno pushed his gla$ses up with the back of his hand.
“Your body’s condition is partly due to the partial activation of your magic.”
Despite the wizard’s explanation, Dietrich still didn’t relax.
“So, I used your magic to lower the activation of that area.”
So, Dietrich’s reproductive functions are maintained but have ultimately been dulled?
Sorry, Dietrich.
I silently apologized.
“Now, Liri. Shall we try it out?”
Ignoring the glaring Dietrich as if he posed no threat, Yuno took my hand.
I looked at the problematic area of Dietrich.
And then…
“Wow! Long live Yuno!”
…It had a slightly changed shape, but compared to usual, it was much calmer.
“Yuno is the best!”
I hugged the wizard beside me, and Yuno’s face turned bright red in an instant.
“So, we’re doing this, right?”
“…Huh?”
“Having a special time together.”
I was about to ask what that meant, but others moved faster than I could speak.
Seth pulled me into a hug, while Dietrich pressed the blade of his sword against Yuno’s neck.
“Stop talking nonsense, Mage Tower Master.”
“Master, let’s not listen to such strange things.”
Seth went a step further and covered my ears while whispering something to Yuno.
I could hear mumbling, but I couldn’t grasp the content.
However, soon I saw Yuno’s face contort and a smile appear on Dietrich’s lips, suggesting it was something unusual.
For Dietrich to be laughing at Seth’s words, it must have been quite a story.
“Alright, Master. What shall we play now?”
Seth removed his hands from my ears and asked sweetly, while Yuno bit his pink lips.
…How did these guys end up living together later?
