NOVEL ONLINE FREE My Daddy Hides His Power
Chapter 265 - Side story Part 1 Chapter 5
As soon as he heard about the magic formula that Hans said was useless…
Oscar naturally thought of one thing. ‘Isn’t it possible to apply a shortcut when using the regression magic?’ And he also felt regretful that he had been able to obtain that magic formula in the past. Of course, it was all meaningless talk now that he was already bound by the restriction. Now that he was already bound by the restriction, it was all meaningless talk. “Is there… a problem?” “Ah, no, not at all. My apologies.” When Hans looked flustered, Oscar gave an awkward laugh and sat back down. He tried to appear calm, but his mind was complicated. ‘Why did this girl ask Hans to make that?’ Could it be that Lilith is also trying to create a risk-free regression magic formula, just as he is thinking? ‘No, that’s ridiculous. Only I can create something like that. She can’t.’ Lilith Rubinstein. She was basically a child with a brilliant mind. Even when she was an idiot trapped in a tower, she understood and imagined things if taught, and she was able to create a world in her head. However, ironically, Lilith had clear limitations because she was a ‘Primera’. Primera didn’t understand the concept of ‘failure’ when using her abilities. To be more precise, it would be correct to say that she didn’t know how to use magic at all. It was a being that consumed life force, not mana, to achieve whatever they imagined. ‘How could Primera create a magic formula?’ Ironically, because she could achieve everything with just a thought, creating and researching magic formulas would be the most difficult for Lilith. ‘She’s smart, but there’s no way she’s a genius to that extent.’ And, crucially. ‘…Even if she makes that magic now, she’ll know it’s all meaningless.’ Oscar let out a bitter sigh. * * * I’m a genius. This is something I realized after immersing myself in research for three years and achieving results. Even without the reincarnation buff, I would have easily entered the Wizard Tower. Because I, as Primera, didn’t understand the concept of consuming mana, I had to work ten, no, a hundred times harder than others, but in the end, I managed to do it. ‘Master, can you hear my sincerity? This is the power of love.’ I revealed my full-fledged ‘plan’ to Cheshire, who was amazed by my genius. “I named it <Mom, Don’t Make That Choice> Operation!” “…What’s that?” Cheshire didn’t understand the perfectly named operation. I added an explanation as if I was acting. “Our mother, who has lived such an incredibly unfortunate life. And the daughter who grew up watching it. If only mom hadn’t made such a foolish choice in the past…! Then, we wouldn’t be living a life like this now…!” “….” “Could it be that the daughter’s desperate prayer was heard? When she opened her eyes, she found herself back 20 years in the past!” “….” “Okay, I’ll make sure Mom doesn’t make the wrong choices! So Mom’s future will be happy!” “….” “…Ahem.” Why is the audience’s reaction so bland? Embarrassed, I waved a piece of parchment with a scaled-down version of the ‘improved regression magic formula’ drawn on it and said. “Our goal is to deliver this to Master in the past, so that when the time comes, they can cast the regression magic without becoming the sacrifice themselves.” In simple terms, it’s time slips. We’ll travel through time. “We’re living in what’s considered Master’s second life, but the regression magic that caused the issue was used during his first life. So, even if we travel back along the current timeline, Master’s binding curse will still remain. We have to go to the first timeline.” “Is there such magic?” “Of course not. Time travel is ridiculous, so wouldn’t only a god have the talent to precisely select a timeline and travel around?” I shrugged and added. “But for now, my ability is closest to the realm of God.” Time travel that involves existing in a time that should not exist was impossible through magic. So, instead of magic, it was a matter of going to the past for a moment with Primera’s ability. “Again!” I pointed to the area near my heart. Dad and Oscar had saved me from the Holy Fever that the Emperor had planned to awaken me. “The Disciple’s Heart is here too!” The ‘fate-changing holy object’ that I had eaten in a daze. This world does not allow predetermined fates—specifically, the altering of someone’s life or death—but it became possible with the intervention of the one who possessed the Disciple’s Heart. “If it weren’t for the sacred relic, I probably wouldn’t have even dared to try.” Only when two conditions were met could I attempt time travel. “How long does it take?” Cheshire, who was extremely sensitive to me using my abilities, asked aggressively. “Hmm. Let’s talk about that a bit later. For now, I’ve already checked how much life force it consumes and worked out the most cost-effective plan.” I wiggled the magic artifact bracelet and winked as if asking for approval, but Cheshire only let out a sigh. “Um, honey, can you come with me? If I go alone, I’ll probably have to use a lot of magic, and I’d end up spending all my life force on it… But if you help me…” “I should go. Of course.” “Hehe.” “But can you be sure that the improved regression magic will work properly?” Do you doubt my genius? I smiled and pointed to the magic circle. “Want to check? I drew a magic circle that would allow you to return to exactly 2 minutes ago.” “Can I just cast it?” Cheshire stood up, taking off his outer garment. “Mhm, all you need to do is channel some mana into it. But…” I glanced at him. “It’s a complicated version, so it’s not very cost-effective. It costs a lot of mana.” The modified regression spell was designed to require every last drop of Oscar’s mana to activate. ‘Cheshire has a larger mana than Master, but it’ll still take quite a bit.’ For ability users, the consumption of mana is more taxing and puts more strain on the body than physical exhaustion. Honestly, it felt awkward asking Cheshire for help like this when it wasn’t even her problem. “You might be really tired after using the magic. There’s nothing wrong with it in theory, so you don’t have to check it out, right?” “It’s fine. No problem. Even if it’s a shortcut, we should check if it works properly. Isn’t that why you asked me to bring the demon beast in the first place?” “Yeah, that’s right.” I felt even more sorry because he readily agreed to help me. Actually, if I were to give a hundred concessions, we’re engaged, so I thought it would be okay to ask for something like this. ‘Still, it’s about saving another man.’ Of course, that’s why I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. “Are you really going to fulfill the request to go with me and deliver this magic formula to the Master? Ugh, I’m being so shameless, aren’t I?” “No, not at all. It’s something I absolutely have to do, so why are you looking at my face? You don’t need to ask me. Just do it.” “Honey….” I was really, really touched. I rejected his proposals several times because of Oscar, but he’s so generous. Feeling grateful and sorry, I confessed something that had been bothering me the whole time. “You know, Cheshire… Honestly, no matter how much he’s my Master… still, I’m really grateful that you’re helping me like this without getting upset or angry, even though I’m doing all this for another guy…” As I spoke, I started to weep. “I postponed our marriage without any plan, and yet you waited without meeting another woman…” “Ah.” Cheshire spoke with a somewhat flustered expression. “…Of course, I should. The Lord of the Wizard Tower is also a benefactor to me. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be living peacefully like this, and also…” “Again?” Cheshire seemed like he was about to say more but closed his mouth. For some reason, he looked embarrassed. “What else?” “No. Let’s hurry up.” “Ah! Mhm, that’s right.” Cheshire placed his hand on the magic circle and began preparing, and I gave him one last piece of advice. “It’s only going back 2 minutes, so there’s no need to worry too much, but…” He regressed for 2 minutes. The sacrifice was the demon. The caster was Cheshire. “The caster shouldn’t reveal anything about the future. I probably won’t remember that I’ve regressed, so don’t say things like ‘It worked’ or… anyway, don’t give any hints.” “Okay.” “You have to be careful with your mouth for 2 minutes? Hmm….” I wonder if there’s anything else I can say. “Heuk!” This straight-forward guy! I could see Cheshire pouring mana without hesitation, as if she would step on the accelerator even at a red light. * * * A red light seeped into the large and complex magic circle, and Cheshire felt most of the mana in his body being sucked out in an instant. ‘It really needs a lot of mana.’ The moment he thought that, The light that had seeped into the magic circle suddenly disappeared. ‘What is this?’ Usually, the magic circle would be erased after casting the magic. However, for some reason, the magic circle remained intact. The demon beast that had been sacrificed was still trapped in the cage. ‘Is this a failure?’ Cheshire was flustered. “Are you really going to fulfill the request to go with me and deliver this magic formula to the Master? Ugh, I’m being so shameless, aren’t I?” “…!” He was surprised by Lilith’s muttering next to him. ‘What I said earlier again?’ A perfect sense of deja vu. ‘I went back to 2 minutes ago.’ It’s a success. Cheshire answered similarly to before, hiding his excitement. “No need to ask… I’ll just do it.” “Honey….” Lilith had a touched expression on her face again. “You know, Cheshire… Honestly, no matter how much he’s my Master… still, I’m really grateful that you’re helping me like this without getting upset or angry, even though I’m doing all this for another guy…” The situation repeated. Cheshire tensed up as he recalled the words he had swallowed because he was embarrassed to say them honestly. “….” To tell the truth, the reason he was so enthusiastic about breaking Oscar’s ban was also for his own good. That’s why he felt embarrassed to hear Lilith’s words of gratitude. “I postponed our marriage without any plan, and yet you waited without meeting another woman…” “Who else would I date besides you? You’re the only woman in my life.” Cheshire said without hesitation as he got up from his seat. Lilith blinked with her mouth covered in surprise. In the second repetition of the conversation, he decided to be a little bolder. “And breaking the Lord of the Wizard Tower’s ban is not only because I have to repay his favor, but also for me. So don’t be thankful.” “For you? What is that?” “….” Cheshire hesitated, embarrassed again after finally speaking honestly. “…iage.” “….?” In the end, Cheshire, who had subtly turned his head to avoid eye contact, muttered while touching his reddened neck. “…Hurry up, I want to do it with you.” Next chapter will be updated first on this website.
