Chapter 69: Regalia I (Part 02)
۞۞۞
Lying on the bed and exposed to the dim light from the crystal lamp, Odo slowly opened his eyes and slightly sighed. When the day was about to change about an hour ago, the sound from outside his room slowly began to disappear and silence came.
Outside the crowd the servants who prepared the event for tomorrow no longer disturbed his ears, replaced by the loud sounds of insects in the spring in the courtyard. For a moment it reminded Odo of the beautiful impression of a countryside, so peaceful that it made him want to forget all obligations and continue to sleep.
Understanding that he had no right to remain silent and still had much to do, Odo soon got up and sat at the end of the bed. He momentarily took a light breath, immediately took off his shabby shirt and threw it on the floor.
At the time he was supposed to rest, he got out of bed and immediately prepared for a push up. Without feeling tired or sleepy, the young man in black hair began to train his body at the beginning of the day, even before the sun rose. While doing so, he again thought about what he saw in the coastal city.
Although understand there are other things that must be resolved first, but still the previous events remind him a little with the memories of the previous world. Making himself unsettled, feeling close and unable to escape from such sad things. Although far from the bottom of Odo's heart hated prostitution, he felt he could not escape.
“Why am I always close to the comfort women? From the past, even until now,” the young man's mind while lying on the floor.
From push-ups to training hands, he continued doing sit-ups to train his abdominal muscles. Such a thing he did was not only to develop physical abilities, but to research and find out whether the basic condition of his physical body could also be saved to the Magic Core or not.
Therefore, he must get the development of physical abilities in the body first until he can see the difference clearly.
For over an hour, the young man did continuous push ups and sit ups until his body reached its limit. Sweat splattered on the floor, the smell of acid smelled thick in his room. As he grew tired, Odo stretched out his arms and lay on the floor.
Sensing her abdominal muscles and her hands tightening, she briefly let out a small sigh and closed her eyes. He began using Aitisal Almaelumat to read his own physical information, then copied it and applied it to an external circuit. In the process, red streaks spread from the left chest to the rest of Odo's body, especially on the abdomen and both hands.
As the red lines went out, his magic circuit had copied the physical information of his body and gradually transported all those information arrays into the Magic Core. The process was the same as when Odo stored the development of magic, greatly giving his body a burden and blood started to flow out of his nose.
Unlike when he first used the method, this time he did not die and only got minor internal injuries such as several blood vessels on both hands ruptured and light bleeding.
Looking at the slightly bluish right wrist, Odo put on a faint smile at a glance as the development of his physical abilities could be saved with just a few side effects.
“Well, doesn't mean I have to be burly or masculine. Provided that the stamina increases to the level where I only need to sleep an hour in a day that is enough. Because of the reset effect after using Backup Life, my physical condition is also affected anyway.”
He immediately got up, stretched out his hands and started jumping around to make sure nothing was awkward. Kissing his own body, Odo briefly felt an unpleasant smell due to sweat. He was silent for a moment, feeling that the bath would only waste his time. But understand can not come out with such unpleasant aroma, he uses Aitisal Almaelumat to manipulate the body's scent so as not to emit an acidic odor.
“Hmm, this way is effective. Without a bath, even unpleasant aroma disappears without traces⸻ Eng?”
Odo's words stopped and his forehead shriveled. He only realized that his room also emits the same aroma, so acidic and make it close the nose. Recalling that he did not shower for several days and did not notice body odor, he felt that the aroma was natural to come out of him when sweating.
“Wow, obviously Canna sniffed at me while at Atelier. Luckily I didn't sweat too much …. Huh, indeed a lot of passive magic is lost due to the Reserve Life effect. Maybe I should put it up again, practical magic-magic of some kind of body odor remover or something.”
For a moment looking at the stars through the window of the room, the look on his face looked sad and felt the cluster of stars in the sky there showed a lot of things that had changed.
For Odo who understands that every star in the sky there is a sun that is very far away and most likely has another life form, he said, for a moment he felt that the world had developed in a direction that he did not really know.
“Although it is said that each solar system can have its own life form, but in the previous world that survived is only a nation that resembles humans. The form of living beings who stand on two legs and have two hands is the most ideal, it is already proven by nature itself.”
Odo turned away from the sky, momentarily bowing his head and staring flatly at some plants in the herb garden. At first glance he felt astonished, then in a sense of confusion his heart was said, “Then, what in this world is also similar? Or is there just a speck of light in the sky without a life form? An imitation to make this world similar to before?” He could not prove the speculation was true or not, the range was too wide and the information he had about the world was very little.
In the early hours of the morning, he looked up again and felt like he was locked up in a box. So crowded, burdened and as if constrained by many things that make him unable to go freely to where he wants.
“Already, I don't think that's the thing I need to know now.”
Odo again closed the window, walking towards the closet to pick up a shirt and a pair of pants. Unlike usual, the young man took clothes with a predominance of dark colors for the whole. Taking off his belt and pants, he began to change his clothes.
The upper garment is a blood red tunic that is attached to a black long-sleeved hem with an upright collar, while for subordinates he wears black pants and dark brown leather shoes.
What Odo was wearing was a bit like the clothes he had borrowed from Siska before the bandit extermination expedition, looking like a mourner.
Taking one more glove out of the closet, he wore it on his left hand to complete the right glove. For a moment he sighed lightly, combed his hair with fingers and tidied it up. Without even glazing first, the young man opened the door and walked out of his room.
