The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1823

Daylight brightened the sky of Tokyo City. Charlie and Ito Nanako were having breakfast together. 3

Nanako turned to Charlie, saying, "I'll ask the servants to prepare the guest room for you, Charlie-Kun. You should rest first. You haven’t slept all night. It must be hard for you." 4

Charlie smiled a little and shook his head. "Don't trouble yourself. I am not tired.”

"How can you not be?" exclaimed Nanako. She couldn't hide the distress in her words. "Since last night's battle with Fujibayashi’s ninjas, you haven't rested at all. Not to mention how you endured two battles and drove for hundreds of kilometers..." 3

Charlie smiled. "You didn’t rest too. Aren't you feeling tired yourself?" he asked.

Nanako was startled by his question. After pondering for a moment, she replied, "I'm not really tired. In fact, I feel as if my body is inexhaustible, filled with renewed vigor. I feel at the top of my game..." 5

"This should be the effect of the medicine you gave m e, right?” she interjected quickly.

Charlie nodded and smiled. "Yes. Not only can it cure injuries, but it also enhances the body’s abilities and endurance. Whoever consumes these won't get tired s o easily."

Nanako couldn’t help feeling impressed. "This sure is amazing. If it really provides me such energy, then Charlie’s Apothecary Pharmaceutical will definitely become the best pharmaceutical company in the world, right?" 1

Charlie smiled and replied. "The medicine can't be produced. It is in itself a scarce item. It was

something ancient Oskian doctors left behind, and to use one means one less pill from the archive... There’s no replenishing the item..."

Actually, the materials required to refine the rejuvenating pills weren't that difficult to obtain. 2

The problem was that the pill had to be refined using particular energy-spiritual energy.

Reiki was the powerful energy used to transform solid steel into molten metal during the steelmaking process. 6

If the energy wasn’t there, then the pile of metal ore would just remain as ore even if they were piled together for tens of thousands of years. 3
