The Iudex's day off

Chapter 70 - A deal

 Wriothesely's POV

 The length of time Sigewinne was bawling her eyes out was simply incomparable to Furina and Sedene.

 She also did not forget the (okay, well-deserved) scolding right after, lasting at least another half an hour.

 After that came a full check-up for both Neuvillette and me.

 A check-up that came up with results that made both Sigewinne and Neuvillette frown.

 Lo and behold, I was in peak condition. Never better.

 "I don't trust you, Your Grace."

 "Sigewinne, you did the check-up." I reminded her.

 "I don't trust the results then."

 "Neuvillette is completely fine as well. Why don't you go doubt him?"

 "Dad doesn't have your horrible track record with downplaying injuries." Sigewinne said bluntly.

 Uh...

 It felt like I had enough energy to run a few marathons without breaking a sweat.

 I don't believe that's normal, but nothing that happened today could be called that so...

 Yeah.

 "Neuv, can I-"

 "Your Grace, could you give me your vision." Sugewinne asked suddenly.

 "Sure?"

 Why?

 Did she find a problem?

 I handed her my vision and she walked just slightly out of the radius that I could still use it.

 "No, please punch that wall." She pointed to a nearby wall.

 "Excuse me?"

 "No vision, no gauntlets. Just punch it with your bare hands."

 ????

 "Sigewinne." Neuvillette warned.

 "Dad, if he were to get hurt, you could just heal him. This is a necessary experiment." 

 Neuvillette eventually caved under Sigewinne's insistent gaze.

 "If you don't wish to do it, you can just decline, Wrio. But if you wish to indulge her, I can indeed heal your hand if you hurt it." He sighed.

 "Fine..."

 It's not such a big deal anyway.

 I walked up to the wall and with a single swing-
