I finally regained consciousness to the dull pain of a jitter and fever.

In that ear, a harsh voice of reprimand arrives.

"Cortina, Finia! With you guys on -!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Me..."

"Sorry, sorry! This responsibility..."

Rare and rough...... no, stabbing lyel voice. For a guy who's always mild, he rarely even lets himself kill.

But I can't even look at Cortina or Finia.

"Dad, stop doing that for you"

"Nicole, you noticed!?

Respond to my voice, and the voice of reprimand stops.

But I should have opened my eyes, but my vision remained wrapped in darkness.

On top of that, he understood that his body was hot enough to light, but at the same time he felt cold enough to tremble.

"Don't panic. Calm down. Listen to me, okay? Nicole, your eyes are crushed."

I heard Maria from by my side.

Speaking of which, I should have been in Berito, the capital of the Holy Tree Country of Forneus.

Lyle can't get this far by herself, so there's someone I brought in. And that is mostly Maria. Then it makes sense that she's here.

I don't know how unconscious I was, but I don't think that much time has passed because of the pain.

Coming to Berito at this speed means Cortina must have contacted Maria.

In the still unnamed Finia, I don't think the Adventurer Guild will respond to the response of the personal use of the emergency contact network. Even if the rank is high, there is still a wall called New America.

As it stands on the adventure, we shouldn't even have enough money to spend it.

"My eyes...?

"It's okay. Because I'll definitely cure you."

"Yeah."

I nodded softly, but at the same time, I knew it wasn't going to be that easy.

Maria would have healed you right away if you were so badly injured. She tends to leave it to natural healing if it's a minor injury, but she's not the one who leaves her eyes crushed so badly.

And Kufal's guy said, "Unhealing wounds." For some reason, it may be disabling healing magic.

"I think I have a fever."

"Right. Because of the injury, he seems to have quite a fever. I'm ready for now, so you should get some sleep. Can you?"

To Maria's kind voice, I shake my head vertically to return the affirmation.

Because of the fever, I can see my health is decreasing with enough momentum to be aware of it.

I also feel it's quicker to faint before you fall asleep as it is, but I'm not going to talk about it unless I get my strength back anyway.

"Rest first. I'll put in place some measures in the meantime."

"Yeah."

I closed my eyes to Maria's words and fell asleep again.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"So, what's the situation?

After Nicole fell asleep, the Lyells were moving to another room across the hallway.

Michelle and Cloud were also waiting there.

"It's been invaded by the demons that attacked Raum before. I hope that's all..."

"From what I've seen, you still have foreign bodies in your eyeball. That's hindering regeneration magic."

It was Ms Tricia who inherited Maria's words. She was just fixing medical magic, too, and she knew about Nicole's capacity.

She was the first to see Nicole brought in by the Phineas.

"Yeah, I made sure of that, too. Probably a slime shard. It's also from Dizzy's Slime."

"The guy who attacked Raum before."

"Yep. I can't believe you're still alive even though you don't have a nucleus... it didn't happen before"

When I attacked Raum, part of the slime was just a piece of poison, unconscious.

But now, my instincts as a slime are left even though I don't have a nucleus.

He's quietly dormant now, but when he's about to be pushed out by regenerative (regenerative) magic or something, he seems to start eating the regenerated meat around him.

That's why Maria couldn't hang regeneration.

Because it eats regenerated meat and the shards of slime in the eyeball grow.

"Then take it out..."

"You work inspired. Besides, there's a brain right across the eyeball. If you activate it badly, you might get away with it."

"Well, what am I supposed to do?"

"Remove each eye and regenerate it... but it will strain your nerves a lot."

"If you get your hands on it badly, your eyes will go back to normal, and you won't see it healed, and that can happen."

"At least if I had poorly cured magic, I wouldn't have had a life. I'm glad you're here."

Maria is thanking Ms Tricia.

If she was an immature healer and inadvertently continued to cure magic, it was also possible that the shards of slime left in her body would have burst out, multiplied and damaged her brain.

Nicole's life would not have been helped first.

"If you remove it, you'll be blind. If you don't, your life is in danger, is that what you mean?

"Yeah. Honestly, I can't get my hands on it at the moment."

"So Nicole's eyes...!

Maria answers nothing to Michelle, who raises her sad voice.

Finia takes her seat like she can no longer stand it and heads to Nicole.

"I'll see how Nicole is doing."

It doesn't mean she can do anything, but I don't know how things will change.

I need something to look at my body while I'm asleep.

"Oh, please. And... sorry about earlier."

Unlike Finia, Lyell speaks out of apology.

It was an apology for disturbing me earlier and reprimanding her.

"No, because it's true that I took my eyes off"

"Nicole is also a one-man adventurer. So injuries are supposed to be my own fault too... I don't want to admit it, to you... I'm vile"

"That's not true. Master Lyell is fine."

Leaving a grin, she left the room.

After dropping it off, Lyell slapped his fist on the table and punched his remorse.
