After The Rescue
“AGYAAAAaaaah!!! OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!”
I writhe around above my bed at the pain that spreads from my abdomen, which was stabbed by that man, throughout my entire body. It’s so painful that I don’t care about what’s happening around me anymore. An intense pain that makes me think that I don’t mind doing anything if it’s to relieve this pain assails me.
“Fistoria-sama! What is going on!?”
“Don’t you come near me!!!”
I create a wall and blow away the Angel who worries about and approaches me. I, who already forgot about the Angel whom I blew away, pour in the Divine Power to quickly get rid of this pain.
Although the Divine Power I accumulated until now ends up depleting, I didn’t have the time to think about such things. My feeling of wanting to escape from this pain quickly was stronger.
I wonder how much time has passed since then. By the time the pain finally subsided, my room had ended up in tatters. It appears that I did it unconsciously huh.
“Are you alright, Fistoria-sama”
“……Sigurd. I’m sorry, for messing up the room”
“It matters not. As long as Fistoria-sama is relieved”
Sigurd bows to me respectfully. I wonder if Sigurd is the only one who can kill that man, who albeit very slightly, drove me away. But, I can’t let him leave this pla……come to think of it, they were saying that they’re fighting the Empire huh.
“Sigurd, if I’m not wrong, the 「Yellow Dragon’s Four Treasures」 is in the Empire, right?”
“Yeah, it was something that individual released out of playfulness. If I am not mistaken, nobles known as the Empire’s Four Beasts Houses should be safeguarding them respectively currently”
“……Sigurd, promptly send an Angel to the Empire and teach the nobles the actual way to use the Four Treasures”
“Understood, Fistoria-sama”
I definitely won’t forgive that man. The punishment for injuring ME; I won’t let you off with just taking your life, Hardt.
◇◇◇
“Here, ahーn”
“……Ah, ahーn……Ha, Hardt-sama, I, I can already eat by myself, you know?”
Mylene holds the spoon that I hold out in her mouth and eats the food while looking embarrassed, but every day, she tries to make me stop feeding her.
Well, I won’t stop though. I’d been looking after Mylene in various ways from the time I resurrected her until today. I’m not going to stop at this point, you know?
Perhaps my feelings were conveyed, Mylene makes a delighted expression while looking apologetic. I silently hold out the spoon, and Mylene also silently holds it in her mouth.
The two of us spent the quiet time alone after that. After she finishes eating, I wipe her sweat off for her. Mylene was also embarrassed by this though; even though there’s nothing to be embarrassed about at this point of time since we’d been doing it every night.
It’s just that; I feel incredibly apologetic for leaving a stab scar on the beautiful Mylene’s belly. Even though I could heal pretty much all of her wounds, I just couldn’t heal the stab scar by my sword.
Although Mylene laughs it off and forgives me, she’s a girl, so there’s no way she isn’t bothered by it. I’ve got to look for a way to remove that scar somehow.
“Hardt-sama?”
It appears that my arm that’s wiping her body stopped as I was thinking about her scar, so Mylene probes me. I shake my head telling her that it’s nothing, and continue.
A week after we started living such carefree everyday life, there was contact from Chrono; that the countries finish preparing their troops and can invade at any time.
Mylene’s body has also mostly recovered at that time. Even now, she’s practising Dark Magic with me.
Mylene was originally the occupation known as『Nun』 and was a Sister. She was proficient in Light Magic, and I witnessed her use it numerous times, but she ended up being utterly incapable of using it after I resurrected her.
I more or less know the reason. It’s probably because she has my blood mixed in. Mylene, who resurrected as a Fallen Angel, has the physical prowess and Magic Power capacity that are incomparable to when she was alive, and then, in exchange to becoming incapable of using Light Magic, she’d become capable of using Dark Magic.
It seems that as expected, even Mylene, who’s an expert when it comes to Light Magic, doesn’t understand in-depth the Dark Magic that she couldn’t use, and because I can’t teach her Dark Sorcery, which has different abilities, we’re now practising while learning together.
Because Dark Sorcery is downward compatible and can use Dark Magic, I first look at the contents of the textbooks and activate the Magic. Interestingly, I can tell what kind of Magic it is just by looking at the textbooks.
And then, Mylene, who’s intelligent and has loads of Magic Power capacity, comprehends just by looking at the Magic that I displayed, and masters it one after another. When it comes down to it, she might even be better than Nero.
After all, when I showed Nero the sight of Mylene’s training, he was saying things like, ‘shall I leave the management of the subordinates to her’. Well, I won’t allow that though.
3 days after the contact from Chrono that the countries finished their preparations came, we completed our preparations as well, so we’re heading towards the Empire from now on.
As for the method; we’ll use the Teleportation Gate that Elfion, whom I left in the Empire, created for us. Under normal circumstances, he can only use it to places where he had been before, but he forcefully tracked my Magic Power and created it.
We’ll go with the members we initially decided on. I’m slightly worried about Mylene, but it’ll probably be alright if I leave Lo by her side.
After confirming that everybody is present, I pour Magic Power into the gate. Immediately after, we teleported to the Demihuman Country in the blink of an eye. As expected of Elfion.
After confirming that everybody is present, I pour Magic Power into the gate. The gate shines brightly as I pour Magic Power in. And then, we teleported to the Demihuman Country in the blink of an eye. It looks like we managed to teleport without any issue.1
It’ll cause an uproar if I bring along the dead spirit soldiers as it is, so I leave it to Nero, and we head towards where Elise and the others are.
It appears that they’re using a large mansion inside a town that even in the Demihuman Country, is the closest to the Empire’s borders. Imperial soldiers are standing by the entrance when we arrive at the mansion. When I ignore them and proceed, the soldiers drew their swords and intimidated us for some reason……what’s with these fellows?
For an instant, I thought that perhaps Elise betrayed me, but I’ve made it so that her body and soul can’t leave me, and Elfion and Chrono are by her side, so that’s not it. In that case, what I can come up with is……
“Let go! I have no more ties with you!”
Elise, who appeared right on time as I was thinking about such things. And then, a brown-haired man chases after her. It’s my hunch, but I have a feeling it has something to do with that fellow.
