It seems that Leslie's background has already been written in the letter from her sister-in-law to His Highness. In other words, His Highness Astina knew about Leslie and placed her here.

　It doesn't mean that I am going to deceive His Highness Astina, my lord. As I explained that, Leslie dressed as a man again, interfered with the air spirit, and returned to the guise of 'Rendor'.

　By now, Karin should have finished copying His Highness's spirit guide seal onto the paper. It was only half of it, so she would have to imagine the whole image and restore it before drawing it onto His Highness' body.

''I think I can restore the shape of the spirit guide seal. I'm very good at remembering shapes.''
Are you sure?　Then we can draw on the body of His Highness, or on Leslie of the same s*x ......

　As he said this, Leslie shook his head. I thought it was an odd idea, but why not?

'Earlier, brother Glass: ......

　When he spoke while walking down the hallway, his normal voice sounded reasonable. Leslie rephrased it midway through so that it was safe for someone to hear her.

''If Glass-sensei gave you a treatment that promotes the recovery of magical power, then Glass-sensei's magical power has entered His Highness Astina's body. If I draw the Spiritual Guide Seal while putting my magic power into it, I think there will be a backlash ...... because it will make you 'immune'.
Yeah, right: ......
'I'm sure the doctor understands that, too. I think it's a sign of kindness on your part to be concerned about His Highness' mind, but this is a doctor's job. Ladies and gentlemen, we won't give you the benefit of the doubt, so please perform the treatment with dignity.

　A reliable secretary - or rather, this is just a normal way to be lectured by your sister-in-law.

　However, Leslie is right, so I don't get a counter argument. Originally, I also felt that I should have looked at the spirit guide markings while looking at His Highness' body and copied them, instead of leaving it to Karin.
I didn't do so for exactly the reason Leslie pointed out to me.

(That being said, ...... rei-directory marks get drawn in places where you can't say you're embarrassed or anything. Basically, it's supposed to be drawn by the same s*x. ......)

'I'm sorry, Dr. Glass, I'm sorry, my words were too much. I just thought we shouldn't continue to shy away from it because we're dealing with a woman: ......
'No, Leslie is right. It's a matter for His Highness's body. ...... From now on, I'll do what I have to do as a doctor. And I can't afford to be immature.
...... such a kind teacher, and I'm sure you're all happy to have him here.
'Oh, hey ...... "Rendle", aren't you being too soft on me?'

　The original Leslie was cynical in some ways, which made me panic. I guess I, as a person, am susceptible to being nice to others.

''Anyone who has seen my teacher since I've been here would think that.
...... I'm so selfless, I don't really know what I'm doing.

　Maybe Leslie sees things differently than I do because she sees me as an assistant when I'm examining and treating her.

　It's important for me to understand the emotions of my patients. I should always try to make sure that I don't miss seeing each and every one of them because I'm too busy.

　　　◆ ◆ ◆.

　He received a copy of the spirit guide seal that had been drawn on His Highness' body from Karin, who was waiting outside His Highness' room.

'...... light, but where you can't see it in the faintest way, is ......'
...... is fine. I think I can restore it.
'Good: ...... So, Mr. Rendle, please be as quick as possible. How long will it take?
Half a minute or so should do it. Please wait a moment.

　Half a minute - I didn't know that I only needed to restore the faint part of the spirit guide seal and draw analogies from the shape of the mark on the lower part of the body to the upper part of the body, but that's all I needed to do.

　While Leslie was working on the reconstruction in the next room, I heard from Karin about His Highness' condition. She said that he was calm at the moment and that he had been talking to Soara earlier, but now he was resting.　
　I heard that Raquel-san had stayed behind earlier, but after receiving instructions from His Highness, she returned to her room and is now resting. He said that he was told to rest in preparation for the military council early tomorrow morning - I'm wondering what kind of talk will be given, but I'm not sure I'll be called in as a military doctor.

　Eventually Leslie completed the drawing of the Spiritual Guide Seal and brought it to me. I take the paint and brushes I brought from my room and go into His Highness' bedroom.

　This paint is also used to paint the magic circle, and it's the first thing that mages are taught to mix. Since the materials can only be obtained in the royal capital, this must also be procured if it's in short supply - although it's so rare that the opportunity to paint a spirit seal with my hands may never happen again.

'...... glass, I see you're ready to go. Soara, would you please leave the room once so as not to distract him from his concentration?
"Huh ......, Your Highness, but ......
'Don't worry. I have a feeling from the report that he is worthy of my trust. I trust my instincts.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mr. Glass, but I suspect: ......
No, it's not unreasonable. It would be outrageous to leave me, a man, alone with your highness ...... but can you trust me to do it?
I will not bother you anymore by thinking only about the duties of a squire ...... when I am the one who should be thinking about His Highness's body first and foremost. We believe in the one your highness believes in, too.

　Soara bows her head and leaves the room.

　When they are alone, His Highness slowly lowers the blanket he had been tucking into his chest.

''So, Your Highness, ...... I'll draw in a little bit at a time, so you can just show me a part of it ......''
...... That would be a lot of work. It would be faster to draw the big picture as you go along.

　His Highness is right - if I only see one part of the picture and draw it, it takes longer to work because I have to imagine the parts I can't see.

　She looks at me with eyes that are stifled with emotion, revealing her divine figure in a dimly lit room with only faint lights.

　-- I could tell she was stifling it because there was no way to hide it, and a blush was on her face.

'...... please. Do I just have to close my eyes?

　With His Highness ready to face me, I knew I must not waver at all anymore. I nodded back and motioned for her to lie down.

　The spirit guide markings drawn from her thighs to her shins are faint and interrupted. I pulled a small ceramic plate out of my bag and produced the paint on it, selecting the finest of several brushes.

'If I tickle you or anything, just let me know. You will need to rest at .......

　We will now finish the treatment before the sky turns white - in about an hour and a half. We must hurry as much as possible in order for His Highness to rest as much as possible.

　His Highness didn't move at all when I began to draw. He just quietly raised and lowered his chest, closed his eyes, and made sure that there was no hindrance to his drawing.
