Monster no Goshujin-sama

08. How the Sisters Are

Eight.

Gabella took me straight to Arakune's nest.

My consciousness was always blurred.

I don't feel much pain because of the burns.

I never met a monster along the way, and with as much speed as I could achieve for a white Arakune, I was carried into Arakune's nest.

"Your husband!?

"Shh, seniors!

Rose, who looked back, screamed not even like her, and Kato faded away.

"Your husband!

Lily jumped up and received my figure, which she had kept half of.

I was laid on my back on the floor.

The armor was pulled off and the bloody clothes were pulled out.

Lily breathed.

Or maybe he swallowed a scream.

Immediately, a white light overflowed Lily's hand.

Recovery magic.

The bleeding from the bullet marks on the cannon spreads loosens.

Boulders are magic. I relieved myself of the warm light.

... could only be done during the first minute or so.

"Ahhh, ahhh!?

Treatment progresses, which means the nerves that were foolish will recover.

Even though the wound has not yet healed, it is.

Originally, healing magic should have some analgesic properties, but the status quo was beyond its scope to follow.

Of course, there are no carefree substitutes for analgesics. I was only allowed to devour my teeth.

Mr. Kato screamed something.

Lily's finger came in my mouth. He fixed his jaw with his fingers to keep his tongue from biting.

Now Lily screamed.

Hard, tight hands and feet held my body back. Rose must have held me back from the pain.

Only Gabella's voice could be heard.

Where did she go?

Part of the brain miso that escapes disconnection from pain has been thinking about that.

"The burns can be dealt with by healing magic... but what seeds are being shot in..."

I heard Lily's sad voice.

There was some interaction.

I was barely regressing to an animal, and I just don't have the ability to understand words.

I have nothing right now. All I had was pain.

"... Rose, give me the knife"

My ears only picked up the sound.

I'm not sure what that means.

I didn't want to understand.

"Sorry, sir"

A foreign body... into your body.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ouch... Ouch, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

A severe pain struck my brain miso.

If this is pain, what have I ever felt? All I could think of was the nanica that was already given to destroy the existence of me.

I struck around as much as I could with my stuffy, tormented, and crippled body.

My teeth, often eaten, ate into Lily's girl's mimicking skin and nearly chopped off her fingers.

As soon as I did, my fingers melted and the flexible body tissue of the altered slime received my teeth, which seemed too often to be eaten and broken as it was.

Whenever the current ran to my pain, my body jumped in an unnatural motion.

An arm that tried to rumble around reflexively was squeezed by the doll's arm.

Even as the meat crumbled and depressed, the body bounced around on its own.

Abdomen, shoulder, subclavian, flank, leg.

One seed after another was removed and rolled onto the floor with a heavy, damp sound.

Time went by like hell.

This was the price for the stupidity I committed.

I wanted to lose consciousness as much as I could, but I knew that was a bad idea.

Imagine a sailor caught in a storm ship. If I let go of my hand, that's the last time. I'm sinking into the dark and I can't come up again...

I just kept enjoying myself.

So, how long has it been?

Bloody work was done when the pain became unrecognizable as pain.

Recovery magic was given again.

Magic is great. Without this, I don't know how many times I would have died.

"No. Why...!?

It was not until after a long time that I regained my sanity that I had become a beast.

"I removed all the seeds. The wounds are blocked, and the burns..."

A white light of healing magic was felt across the eyelid.

The pain in the wound was gone.

However, my body was unusually weak.

If you ram around, your strength will be cut, and if you use it badly, your muscles will be exhausted. My body, which I felt was in danger of my life, was raging until just now. I don't remember much, but it was supposed to be.

So it is only natural that I am exhausted... but this fatigue did not seem to be the cause of all fatigue.

Fundamentally, there was a feeling that something had fallen out of my body.

I still have chills that seem to be falling out.

If you can, there's a hole in the bottom of a vessel called me...

Because of that, there is no force in my body.

My fingertips didn't even move.

On top of that, there was an impending white twist from the edge of consciousness.

If you remain unconscious, you will never wake up again. Such an unpleasant feeling remained without disappearing.

Does that mean I've been so badly injured?

I know healing magic is never omnipotent.

The restorative magic of Lily on the three staircases prevented site defects from being recovered, and Lily on the heavy weight was forced to take days of therapy. If you die, it's impossible to treat you with healing magic in the first place.

Has my body exceeded its limits?

If so, will I die like this?

... I don't want to die.

You can't die.

'Cause I still got her...

"... it's the concubine's fault"

That was the time.

I heard Gabella.

I felt like I hadn't heard her voice in a long time.

I opened my eyes thinly.

That much work has been a terrible burden to me right now.

Sight opens thinly.

There were Lily and Rose by the side.

Lily stuck her right hand from slime back into the shape of her hand into my mouth, and put a healing magic formation together on the other hand, around my chest.

Until earlier Rose would have been half horse ridden by me and held me down, but now she was sitting on my right side. This will be to hold me back when I start rumbling again.

I also saw Kato with a hard look on his face, standing as if he were putting his hand on Rose's shoulder.

... Where's Gabella?

I moved only my eyes, and I searched for the appearance of Gabella.

Soon she was found.

There was a girl shriveled with eight broken legs on the floor more than three meters from me.

"Of the concubine... because..."

Gabella was quietly dropping her shoulders.

Even the white face was so clear that it was now white as paper.

"... can you explain how it happened?

Lily asked.

It was a suppressed voice. From her voice and expression, I don't know what she's thinking. Nor could I afford to just feel the pass.

"The concubines..."

Gabella honestly began to talk about what had happened before.

That the two of us started exploring. My intentions and the interaction between the two of us. That I could hardly find a family member, searched for other measures, and came to think of the existence of a water source with more monsters. I started dealing with the herd and thought it was going to work, a catastrophic arrowhead...

Big muscle, her perception was the same as mine.

Only one point, though, was decidedly different.

"... all because of my concubine"

Gabella squatted with a white head.

"Again, the concubine was unchanged. The nature of being born with it remains the same. The concubine was nothing but a disaster to the Lord."

Gabella has a burden.

It's a past you can't wipe, that you've hurt me.

That, no, was annoying her as some kind of trauma.

"How stupid. You should have known! Together, the fact that they will sooner or later hurt the Lord and His Highness...!

I was plotting things for Gabella. Nor could my 'dealing with the flock' have been possible without the power of Gabella.

In that sense, I can't even look at 'this happened because of Gabella' if I want to.

Of course, it's just that I can see it that way, and I'm the only one who failed.

Gabella was doing well for me.

It's all because of her dedication that I can barely breathe here.

There are no shards that need to feel responsible. I could assure you that Gabella's perception that I was hurt because of me was wrong.

But at least it was true in her.

"The concubine was not by the Lord's side..."

Gabella sank in... and my prospects were collapsing at this point as well.

I was going to let Gabella put a handle on me so that I could fix her loss, which occurred when I got out, and get Rose to acknowledge her.

Yet instead of relieving the loss of ground, it's this Zama.

Whatever the reason, it was true that Gabella couldn't protect me enough.

Because of me, I made her lose more points.

Whether you speak to a depressed gabella or a debilitated body, you can't even speak.

I can't even give you an explanation for her.

I can only look at the loss of something important.

... Oh, shit.

How did this happen?

Even I wasn't moving without thinking.

I'm optimistic, I wasn't half playing.

Think about what I'm going to do, worry about it, think this should be okay.

But it's all overlooked, and everything I've worked hard for is turned upside down, a catastrophe that just covers my eyes.

It's going to hurt, it's dying, it's going to kill me.

At the end of the sentence, you lose something important.

I really don't know why.

I wish everyone would have gotten along.

"Gabella."

It was then.

A calm voice called Gabella's name.

I didn't realize it was Lily's voice at first.

That's about it, she was calm. Lily was not disturbed by the sight of my distress.

His complexion remained calm, although it was only by gently biting his glossy lips with his teeth-lined teeth.

That may be a calm fix. Maybe it's a pseudo thing. Originally she is that way and is good at showing herself to something else.

But even if she did, she was certain she was keeping herself just enough to fix it.

"Did I tell you that your husband was hurt because of you?

Lily's voice color was lower than usual.

"So you say I can't be beside your husband?

Suppressed emotions were leaking slightly at the end of the story.

It was anger.

Lily was quietly angry.

But that wasn't the sentiment I had for being hurt.

"You think your husband wants that? What do you think your husband did it for? You're wasting that thought?

Lily was hungry for Gabella's continued blame.

"But the concubine..."

"I don't need 'but' or 'but'. Gabella knows nothing. Really, I don't know anything. And how your husband feels... and how we feel...!

Lily waved for the first time, pointing a strong gaze at Gerbera who couldn't help but stare at the beholder.

"Hey, Gabella. I told you before I became one of you... there is one cot taught to me by 'White Arakune'"

"To the concubine?

"Yep. That means I don't have enough strength... my mind and body are too immature to help your husband alone. I already know that. As much as you hate me."

I guess that's actually more right than 'taught' to be 'stuck with the facts'.

The voice color was bitter, but Lily did not distract herself from what was unpleasant to her.

"But then, together, we're going to know the importance of joining forces. Maybe our families are creatures that don't have enough of a variety of places. So if we don't make it up to each other, we need to join forces with each other... we can't."

Lily's voice had a single core through it.

Perhaps this is a problem that she already has an answer for.

"I am the first of your husband's family. That means she's the eldest daughter of your husband's family. So I decided to be worthy of it."

The figure of Lily, who proclaims with her breasts outstretched, appeared once larger than the figure of her I knew.

"I am an unreliable sister, but I will not reject or abandon my sister"

"Lord Lily..."

"Whatever you think of yourself, you don't know that."

Speaking of which, Lily had embraced Gabella for hurting me from the beginning.

I was wondering why, but was I thinking that way?

"I want you to support me about your husband, too. You said that before."

"But"

Speaking and recalling Lily's words earlier, Gabella mumbled.

"Supporting you with Lord Lily... tell the Lord now what a concubine can do?

Unlike Lily, the user of healing magic, Gabella has no way of healing those hurt in battle.

"There's nothing a concubine can do. If there was anything I could do, it was before this happened. To the concubine who was unable to protect the Lord, now what..."

"Yeah. There's something I can do."

Lily lay her eyes down and felt like she denied Garbera's words.

Turning away from his previous perseverance, that looked sorry and spicy somewhere.

"There's more to Gabella than that, I guess."

"What can only a concubine do? Is that what this is about?

He snorted and Lily glanced at me.

"As you can see, your husband is debilitated. How do you know that, Gabella?

"It would be because I was badly injured. I hear that human beings are fragile."

"Yeah. That's right. But in this case, it's not."

Gabella frowned in surprise.

"... what do you mean?

"As a human being, I have memories of others named Miho Mizushima. I also remember being a monster who lived to this day. So I can tell you, your husband is not the usual."

"It's not normal. I don't know exactly what that means."

"Your husband's wounds are already healing. My healing magic works properly. If you've recovered to this point, you should be fine by now."

Increasingly, Gabella looked puzzled.

"But the Lord's complexion is worse and worse."

"Yeah. So there's no other reason for the debilitation. I know what it is. I don't know why it's happening."

"Hmm?"

"Your husband's body doesn't have enough magic."

In the end Lily said, watching Gabella.

"Gabella, you haven't lost sight of me either, just take a good look at me. You'll see."

To Lily's point, Gabella was frightened. Until now, she has been distracted from me.

At last, when prompted, Gabella turned her gaze to me.

"... indeed, the Lord's magic seems to be exhausting."

Gabella snapped as she narrowed her red eyes reflecting me lying down.

I guess it's true that my magic is gone, that she has the same diagnosis as Lily, having previously spotted my increase in magic and its causes.

Lily nodded and opened her mouth.

"Those who live in this world have more or less magic. Although monsters are especially creatures that accumulate a lot of magic, any creature is equipped with magic itself. And... somehow, your husbands, the transferees, also have magic. You don't have to have cheats about magic. Anyone can use magic because it means everyone has magic."

Lily cut the word there once.

"It doesn't matter now, either. Anyway... it's unusual that you don't have enough magic. Wouldn't it be so strange that what's meant to be depleted and dysfunctional? For example, I will not be able to maintain my body tissue, and Rose will not be able to move. I don't know how magic affects biological function, but it seems that people from different worlds also have a negative impact on the depletion of magic."

"... I know what Lord Lily is trying to say"

Garbera, swallowed up by the circumstances, looked difficult.

"But what am I going to do with it to my concubine? I don't know what caused it, but isn't it curative?"

"You can't cure the root. It's harder to target and root out than you know what caused it.... but I might be able to do it with symptomatic therapy"

"Symptomatic therapy?"

"Yeah. I want Gabella to share her magic with your husband."

Gabella opened her red eyes when she heard Lily's request.

"Magic?"

"Yeah. In short, if you could imagine something like a blood transfusion... don't you see? Uh, I mean, the path between you and your husband goes through magic, right? The story was that the magic leaked through the path had been passed on to your husband and his magic was increasing. Then it should be possible to deliberately share magic."

"Mr. Lily. May I have a word?"

So Mr. Kato pinched his mouth.

"For me, even the transfusion was easy to understand. So I was wondering, is it possible that something like 'Different Blood Types' could happen?

He looked pale, but Kato kept the boulder calm. Points out the dangers associated with the treatment.

"Right. But that's okay."

Lily glanced at Kato.

"... I think. Your husband has already embraced the magic of Gabella, so it's unlikely that something will go wrong…"

"What if something goes wrong!

Gabella's voice was almost close to screaming.

I couldn't help it. Lily's thoughts are just speculation. If I hit her badly, I could die as a result of the 'blood transfusion' she did. But...

"Yeah. I get Gabella's point. I'm also scared of what happens when I do that. But... you don't have to tell me what happens if I don't do that, do you?

If I do, I'll just die of debilitation.

If we're going to wager a battle, this is the only time.

"I don't know how, but your husband's magic is diminishing. But if you keep giving them the same amount of magic that you lose..."

"Even if it's 'if you do it well,' you don't know 'if you can do it well'! For example, if I give you more magic than I can tolerate!? A concubine... a concubine could kill the Lord!

"That's where I have to trust you."

Lily said in an extremely light tone.

On the surface, she was disguised as calm.

Only my fingers, still stuck in my mouth, were shaking fine.

"At least it should work better than any of us do. Besides, if you have as much magic power as you do, you can continue to give it magic."

Lily manipulates two attributes magic and healing magic and is good at handling magic, but she has to keep doing magic in order to eat up a little of my debilitation. Besides, she didn't possess as much magic as Gabella.

Rose can't manipulate magic that well in anything other than creation, and Kato is out of the question.

As Lily said at the beginning, this was certainly the only job Gabella could do.

But it is.

For example, how many people can tear the belly of an injured person, even if they know they will die if they don't?

Not to mention what if that's the person you care about?

It's just important if it's about the other person, making it harder to stay calm. Failure is visible if we do not remain calm. This was sometimes the exact same reasoning that doctors hesitated to operate in their bodies.

"Wow, the concubine, no"

If I kill myself...

At the time I thought of that, it was only natural that I couldn't move.

Yes, of course.

And yet Lily didn't expect this to happen?

- That shouldn't have happened, there wasn't.

"Please, Gabella"

Lily, staring straight at Gabella, bowed her head deeper.

"I know that Gabella is afraid of hurting your husband. I also understand that this is an act that could take your husband's life. So I'm also going to know how cruel a favor this is. But I want to entrust this place to Gabella."

I understood all the circumstances, and Lily still bowed her head.

What would make her do that had already been told by her own mouth.

"Please, Gabella. Help your husband."

"Lord Lily..."

Gabella stared at Lily.

In her eyes there existed a pathological fear of hurting me. But as Lily's flax head, lowered, appeared in her eyes, the fear gradually disappeared to dissolve.

Originally, the gabella of the nature of fear of solitude is twice as strong as its desire to be 'for the good of fellow citizens' as its reversal.

Lily's sincere words were enough to shake her nature so much.

Eventually, weakness fell out of Gabella's righteous face, and a resolute will dwelled instead.

White, thin, long hair swayed slowly up and down.

"... aye ok"

"Gabella!"

Lily looks up with her gorgeous voice.

Gabella responded to her with a grin on her soft beauty.

"I'll take care of it"

A nogging spider stretched out his leg, which had been broken.

Gabella gets up and starts moving forward with eight legs.

Three meters. Two meters.

The distance between you and me is gone.

……

But that step, which should have been resolute, became dull to get lost unexpectedly.

The cause was obvious.

Gabella's red eyes showed a wooden doll looking up about her.

"... Rose, my lord"

Gabella's determination, which should have been fixed, swayed, and the fright, which should have disappeared, rose again.

Rose was the one who disagreed most with me.

What does she think and tell on this important occasion? Guess Gabella couldn't help but think about it.

Fulfill.

"... what are you doing"

Rose said looking up about Gabella with her cheeky face.

"Please give your husband magic as soon as possible"

"Huh?"

Gabella raised a loose voice between them.

She repeated her blink in a way she couldn't understand what she had been told.

I was just getting fit, maybe I remembered the feeling of clapping it out.

I felt the same way.

"Is that good?

"What is it"

"Didn't Lord Rose trust you about his concubine?

……

Rose silenced on this inquiry.

Even so, I didn't shut up in a grumpy mood. It was how I was thinking about how I should answer.

But the time Rose was silent wasn't that long.

That may have been because, for a moment, she had been thinking about her relationship with Gabella as well.

"Sister Lily said the same thing earlier, so this is more of a steaming inquiry than a repetition..."

Rose asked with such a forethought.

"Gabella said earlier, 'It's your fault your husband came across something like this,' right?

"Oh, oh..."

"I'm sorry for your sister Lily, but I think you're right."

Gabella's face staring at Rose made me cry.

She must have thought so, that Rose couldn't really accept it.

But that was an early point.

But then, I'm the same thing.

This is how Rose went on.

"No. My responsibilities are much heavier. I could not forgive you. I couldn't accept it. My stubbornness, stubbornness and immaturity caused this"

"Yes, no. It is only when we think of the Lord that Lord Rose could not forgive his concubine"

"Even so, the result is this, so there's no excuse. At least I blame you for being a doorman. And yet, making any more mistakes would be through stubbornness, just foolishness."

After saying that much, Rose shook her head to the side.

"No. You're still deluded by this. … Was there something I had to tell you without killing my heart?"

Rose, who told her to tell herself, turned her face once to Kato's hand, which was put on her shoulder. And then I turned to Gabella again.

"Gabella. I will not like you. There is an 'event' and showing an understanding of what you want can now be managed. I can understand that there is a desire that I can't help myself....... but that doesn't change that I don't care. I still remember my anger at you for hurting your husband for such a reason. But......"

Rose told Gabella the truth in herself after a beat to look at the feelings in her.

"Still, you are my sister."

"Lord Rose..."

Gabella's red eyes opened wide.

"And I'm also Sister Lily's sister. It's not just a sense of duty to 'accept you because your husband accepts you' … it's not like I didn't have the desire to accept you, my sister"

Rose, who tended to kill her own opinions, tells Gabella of the complicated thoughts she has... in retrospect, this could have been the first time.

At the same time, it was an understandable dialogue of reconciliation and walking away.

"Regards about your husband"

Rose bowed her head and hitched herself to give way to Gabella.

They probably needed a settlement cut. I have to say it's bad luck that it's been such an opportunity...

Still, there is no doubt that the obsession between the two families has been lifted. That was something to be congratulated on.

"Lord Hall."

So Gabella came to my pillow.

There is no faint color on Gabella's face.

I could see Lily and Rose's words supporting her back.

"Leave that to my concubine."

From the five fingers on the right and left, the white thread dripped, respectively.

Every part of my body is connected to Gabella's fingers.

"Here we go."

Thus, Gabella began to let the spider yarn transmit magic.

The quiet fingertips shine white, and the light passes through the thread and flows into my body.

It leaks out of a vessel called Me, and something that was missing is filled.

My whole body trembled. I've never felt the magic before.

Gabella was immersed in the work with the expression of sincerity itself.

Lily and Rose watched over her to meet the hung expectations.

... I'm sure you'll be fine now.

As soon as I thought of it, I was so distracted.

The drowsiness pushes me like a fury, and it takes away my consciousness and disappears.

I lost consciousness there without seeing it through to the end.
