Shut-in Magician

285 Survival in the Snowcave

Waking up in the middle of the night, Coors waved.

"Still go to sleep"

"Yeah, I'm awake already."

"Kids need plenty of sleep."

"This is how much sleep I usually get."

"... I'm gonna die prematurely, not at all"

It seemed like he was going to put Siu to bed and put him to sleep. A sweet young man.

"I'm an adventurer, too, and I've had my turn to sleep, and I'm fine. Come to bed. It's warm to have Ferres now."

"Oh, that's a delightful invitation complaint."

You understood that Siu wouldn't move even when it came to it, and you took it in those words.

As Coors headed to the tent, Siu sipped the coffee frying.

It was morning and Coors and Ferres woke up as we prepared dinner.

Kukurus has elf-like, bright white skin, but the color of his hair was the first color he saw in silver. He has purple eyes and has deep windows, but when he opens his mouth, he has an adventurous tone.

"Good luck. Thanks to you, I slept well. Thanks. Ferres was warm, too. Thank you."

He is stroking Ferres' hair with a sleeping habit. Kukurus also had long hair twirling in his sleeping habits.

I comb it properly with my hands and tie it with strings.

Beautiful face was ruined by those tricks, but it suited him, too.

"We're having breakfast, right?

"Ooh. Eat. Eat. I was hungry. Whatever. Whether it's rice or bread or bugs, I'll eat it."

People living in the woods seem to eat insects as well. Probably because it's a valuable source of protein. Siu really? And when he turned his gaze, Coors glanced over his shoulder.

"Just kidding. Whatever it was a long time ago, I don't eat bugs right now. Well, I can't help it when I don't have any other food, so I've been taught to eat bugs."

"... you know, if you don't have something to eat, you eat what's human."

Well, back in the day, no, I remembered my previous life and I snuggled.

It reminded me of a time of fear after the air raid. In an era where there was nothing to eat, it was a miracle that Siu, no Sautaro, who had suffered major burns, was survived.

I can only thank those around me who have prepared something to eat for a child who is not strange when he died.

The compassion of men soothes me.

"Hey, what's up?

"Yeah. Nothing. Well, let's eat."

I shook the past off my head, laughed and made it breakfast.

While waiting for the advance team to arrive, he now opposed the receiving and began his opponent.

As Coors put it, we discovered two flocks of Nixlps on the north side. There were other small herds of warcraft, but they were not such as to be a threat.

As we continued our exploration, we noticed that there were organisms at the point where the avalanche occurred. It is not a warcraft. I don't feel the existence of a demonic nucleus. He seemed human in size.

Siu rushed down to the ground. Sounds like a place where you've been shunned from avalanches with a gibberish, but big snow solidification, no, you could say ice. I can't move on with that.

Exploring, it looks like there are people in cavities that have become like caves.

However, I could see that there was no movement and that it was debilitating.

I hurried back out of the ice, dug in the snow and proceeded. I won't forget to consolidate it so it doesn't collapse.

"Is anybody there?

Moving on with the lights on, there was an immediate response.

"Here..."

It was a badly debilitated voice.

Straw was laid in a cave of nature. It was a snowcave outside, so to avoid an avalanche, I might have made it beforehand.

Running over, several people were wrapped up in a cage.

"Rescue...?

"Yes, I'm here to help"

The hazy man seemed incapable of even standing up.

He was also injured.

Appraisal indicates a broken leg. And I was malnourished. I'm not talking about these past few days.

The same is true of the men wrapped in sacrifice. Did you get frostbite, some of you had missing fingertips? Most of them are black discolored, even if they are indispensable.

Siu took out the advanced potion without getting lost.

"Because you're fractured, since you stretched. Can you stand it? You don't seem to have enough power left to beat the pain."

"Oh... I know... you can die, okay, from"

Since he doesn't seem to be physically fit anymore, Siu let him bite the cloth so he wouldn't bite his tongue and soilmagically anchored his broken side thigh. And I pulled my ankle in momentum.

"Gu...... gu"

After all the screaming, he seemed to lose his mind. Meanwhile, I appraised the bones again and now fixed them slightly to the side. Time stood, but it may have been the opposite of good that the person did not have enough strength or nutrition to heal the injury and was close to a simple fracture.

When I was done fixing it, I held a man and gave him a potion. I managed to get it swallowed, and after a while I could see that my body was healing.

It doesn't go back to the fallen muscles, but it has become a living human skin tone.

I similarly gave the other men a drink.

The missing part would not go back, but the darkened discolored part had a pretty good shade. If the treatment works, it will work.

In time, some were dead. If you look closely, the bodies were stacked to hide in the back. All seemed frozen to death.

It was painful and I watched for a little while, and the first man I spoke to woke up noticing.

"Oh, me, live?

"He's alive."

I looked back and approached the man.

The man looked at Siu and seemed surprised, then looked at himself in the hand. After I did it with Gooper, I woke up surprised. I get a mild dizziness, but I try to stay put.

"I'm not completely cured. Because malnutrition stays the same."

The fracture, the frostbite.

"Yes."

"Oh, you, are you a healer?

"No, I'm an adventurer and a wizard. It was the medicine that fixed it, and I made it up."

"... medicine, oh, to me? No, maybe."

Looking around, the man was surprised.

"No way, even to the guys here?

"Yes."

Nodding, the man sat down on the spot.

"Shh, sorry!!

"Huh?"

"I didn't mean to fool you, just that you'd be rescued"

"Yes, I'm here to rescue you"

"No, we're slaves! And yet, such expensive drugs."

Because he was screaming, and the men who slept began to wake up. Everyone is surprised. Especially the frostbite patient, who was near the defect, looked round his eyes and at his fingertips.

"There's no money to pay for such expensive drugs."

"I don't need it, I don't need it"

"What?"

"I used it on my own, then a friendly push? Isn't that right? I'm not gonna let you drink it on your own. I'm not gonna tell you it's for drugs."

"... you, you"

"My name is Siu-Aquila. I'm thirteen years old, an adventurer and wizard. It's not you. And you?"

When asked the question, the man approached him and then stumbled onto the spot and cried heavily.

If I was confused, the men who slept in the garden also sat down on the spot.

I was wondering if it would have been a bad thing to help, and I heard the man's crying explanation as he got anxious.

The first man I spoke to named me Solol and told me that he had been brought to avalanche construction as a slave. I usually do repairs to the walls and so on, and he said this was the first avalanche site.

A man named Ethak was used to winter mountains, so he was making this evacuation place. He said he led the workers who happened to be nearby here.

But most of them died in the beginning. I couldn't stand the cold.

There were twelve of us left now.

He had a little kid inside, and he was solidifying around that kid.

"Is Luca a slave too?

"My dad is a slave, and as you can see, he's halfway with the Beast Man, so he can't pick it up anywhere, and he brought it in without throwing it away. We worked together as slave children."

Luca cried out when she was feeling better.

"I'm dead protecting this guy. When I cry, I use my strength, so I told everyone not to cry. So I'm sorry, even if it bothers you, just be patient with me."

"I'm not bothered. It's only natural that I'm sad about losing my parents."

While hiccups, Sorol explained what happened earlier.

Normally, slaves are rarely allowed to undergo treatment or other treatments if they are injured, and they are never given drugs or anything. Although there are rules that should not be abused, they treat it almost as close to abuse. Totally handled things.

Not to mention the impossibility of naming a name or, conversely, being asked a name, so she cried with surprise and happiness. He was also happy to have help.

"Is it something that doesn't treat you so human? I don't know because I've never seen slaves themselves in Steyburn."

"... I have heard that the State of Steyburn is mostly a criminal slave. That's why I don't normally see them because they send them to the toughest labor sites."

"Not in this country?

"There are a lot of debt slaves here and in the Delphi Country. Even minor crimes have been dropped into slavery or deceived into slavery."

It was a terrible story.
