I adopt the male lead

chapter 4

"Together?"

The two children looked at her puzzled, they had no other choice but to react that way.

It was Lord Lenque's habit that wizards are solitary beings, and that magic enforcement and the consequences should be endured alone.

But Karina knew out there, the collaboration between wizards is taken for granted, and the simultaneous vision is not without it.

"Melissa is the one who builds the Homunculus, and Roland is the one who moves it."

"I'm the one who... mold it?"

Melissa asked back with an unbelievable face.

"Yeah."

Karina pulled a small lump of mud out of her waist pocket.

Roland took a breath.

"The Homunculus!"

"Yup."

Karina put a strand of Lord Lenque's hair, which was not difficult to find in the lab, into a mass of mud.

On the surface, it was just plain mud, but it gave her goosebumps as if the texture and warmth were squeezing the flesh of a living person.

After finishing the work, Karina handed the homunculus to Melissa.

"Melissa, do you remember how to do it?"

"I do."

Melissa seemed nervous but not afraid.

She put the homunculus, which had been handed over from Karina, on her palm and concentrated her mind for a long time.

About a dozen minutes have passed. All three breathed in the bedroom that slowly began to fill with acrid smoke. It meant that Melissa was doing it right.

Karina still has her eyes on Melissa, keeping her alert until the end. If things went wrong, they had to take Melissa and the homunculus off immediately.

If taken late, Melissa could have been melted into a homunculus. When the smoke is so thick to the point where she can't see anything, she felt a heterogeneous chill.

'No!'

Karina ran to the window door to draw out the smoke and breathed a sigh of relief. This smoke was not very good for her health.

Both Roland and Melissa were so nervous that they forgot to cough, but if they didn't ventilate properly, they might burst into tears in the acrid smoke that they couldn't bear.

As the smoke slowly drained away, a perfectly molded Lord Lenque was revealed.

'As expected.'

Karina knew the various aspects of Lord Lenque.

However, Lord Lenque to Melissa was no less than this award for torturing her under the guise of a kite.

Now, Lord Lenque, molded by Melissa, was a mad wizard with a distorted face.

Karina looked at the girl's complexion, worrying that Melissa might have been overly frightened by the sudden appearance of Lord Lenque.

'...?'

Karina's eyes widened.

Melissa doesn't scared look at all. Rather, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glistened more than ever.

"Good job, Melissa."

"Really? Did I do well?"

Karina smiled and stroked Melissa's head.
