Puppeteer in the DanMachi World Chapter 37

"Mm... I'm counting on you."

Faced with Ming Ge's efforts, Alfia truly could not bring herself to look cold and detached. She could only wear a somewhat unaccustomed expression, appearing a little embarrassed.

That expression also showed that Alfia was not good at getting along with others.

The two sat facing each other, and he took her hand again.

Even knowing it was treatment, the feeling still made her uncomfortable, making it difficult for her to calm down.

Watching Alfia's expression, Ming Ge laughed inwardly.

In his world, even elementary school students knew more than Alfia and would not blush over something as simple as holding hands.

Alfia was unbelievably innocent, even more innocent than Meitellia.

After all, Meitellia was already an experienced driver now. Alfia could not compare.

After completing the first treatment of the day, Ming Ge sat back in his chair and let out a relieved breath.

Compared to yesterday, today's treatment had been easier for Ming Ge.

The quality and control of his magic power, his understanding of bodily structures, and so on—Ming Ge accumulated knowledge and foundations every day, constantly growing stronger.

"It's time to start designing the engraving cluster."

With that thought, Ming Ge took out a parchment scroll.

"I'll help too."

Alfia spoke calmly.

"Alright."

Ming Ge nodded, then said, "I'll finish the blueprint first. Afterward, I'll explain the magical principles to you and assign your tasks."

"I can help too."

Meitellia raised her little hand.

"Mm, then let's do it together."

Ming Ge's expression softened. He did not mock Meitellia for overestimating herself despite being a poor student.

In truth, although Meitellia was a poor student, she had been influenced by Ming Ge quite a bit during this time. No matter how poor a student she was, she was still better than an illiterate.

An hour passed quickly. Ming Ge had yet to finish his work when a guest arrived.

A knock sounded at the door. In Ming Ge's perception, the visitor's life force felt familiar. It was Riveria.

Yesterday, while continuously using detection waves, Ming Ge had also been familiarizing himself with the process and improving his sensory abilities.

Even without feedback from his detection waves, he had developed a certain degree of perception himself. In that regard, it was like a passive ability.

"Welcome."

Ming Ge greeted her with a smile. "Please come in."

"Excuse me."

After politely saying so, Riveria entered. When she saw the two people seated before her, she froze.

"This is Riveria, a friend I met in the Dungeon yesterday."

After introducing her, Ming Ge continued, "That one is my lover, Meitellia. The other, I believe you know as well—the Witch of Silence, Alfia. She is basically my sister-in-law."

"Although I heard about it yesterday, I never expected she was your younger sister."

Riveria sighed, then said, "Hello. I'm Riveria."

The two had met before. Riveria aside, Alfia was indeed famous even among the famous in Orario, and people had always feared her.

"A brat from the Loki Familia..."

Alfia had clearly recognized her. She gave Riveria a disinterested glance before turning her attention back to the parchment.

While designing it, Ming Ge explained his train of thought, and Alfia helped refine it.

Moreover, compared to Ming Ge, Alfia was more talented. She could often infer further ideas from a single example, providing Ming Ge with many insights.

By now, the blueprint was already half complete.

Chapter 28: Riveria's Help

"Are you busy?"

Watching Alfia's movements, Riveria asked with some curiosity.

"It's related to magic."

Ming Ge nodded, then looked at Alfia. "Can I tell her?"

Alfia seemed somewhat surprised, but replied rather casually, "Whatever."

"My lover and Sister Alfia both have negative skills. I'm designing a magic to suppress those negative skills."

Ming Ge said, "The blueprint is nearly finished. Next, I'll formally begin creating the magic."

"Creating magic..."

Riveria was stunned.

She had just wanted to say that creating magic was not so easy, but then she remembered Ming Ge's understanding of magic, as well as those innate-type spells of his.

Alfia was also stunned when she heard how Ming Ge addressed her, but then tacitly accepted it.

In fact, Ming Ge was older than Alfia, but it was not something worth dwelling on.

After all, "sister" sounded better than "sister-in-law."

"Can I help?"

A powerful curiosity rose within Riveria.

"Of course."

Ming Ge had been thinking the same thing. He nodded and said, "If you're willing to help, I'll compensate you as well."
