"Ouch."
It wasn't my usual cooking class day, but I kind of like it and I'm helping out in the dining room.
The menu had already been decided, so I was just cutting the ingredients according to it.
I also accidentally cut my fingers off with the vegetables.
It didn't seem to cut too deep, but the twitching is seeping blood.
When I looked around softly, the cooks were busy preparing lunch and now no one is looking at this one.
"'Heels'"
The finger cut quickly healed when she cast her healing magic in a small voice so that she could not hear herself around.
Magic is amazing.
I read a book I borrowed from the library at the Royal Palace the other day and learned to say how to use magic.
At times of need, I don't feel comfortable just sitting in school, so I actively use it when I get a chance.
It's called practice.
I knew I was right to try to put it into practice properly and the magic didn't work well at first.
With the book in one hand, it's, uh, dude. I can use it now if I'm doing it, so it's good for now.
The handover of potions to the Second and Third Knights was also over, and the Knights headed to the Gosh Forest west of Wang Du as planned.
The prep period was short, but I was able to press it with my previous MP and manage to create all the potions that had been ordered within the period.
All we have to do later is hope the Knights return safely.
Because the knights of the Third Knights sometimes used the dining room of the institute here, I feel that the dining room is clearer than usual now that they are away.
That's not the only reason I'm scrubbing...
"I heard the food here was delicious, but I didn't know it was as good as this"
That said, in front of him, he is elegantly eating today's fixed meal with his eyes shining.
Today's meal is a chicken roasted with vanilla and lots of vegetable soup with bread.
It must be his fault in front of him that the dining room is rinsed or that the bread is a bit extravagant, unlike usual.
"Doesn't look like the food's progressing, but you're not feeling well either?
"No, I don't have a problem with my health..."
I'd like to ask you for an hour to figure out why you're here, king.
I can't hide that sparkling atmosphere, even though I'm wearing a somewhat plain shade of costume than the last time I saw you.
And my nerves are not diagrammatically thick enough that the food progresses in a situation stared at by a king in front of him, the knight behind him and his samurai.
"Um..., how did you get here?
I also made a paragraph about helping the dining room, and when I moved to the dining room thinking it was time for lunch, the king caught me there.
One of the knights in the escort and only one of the samurai-like people were with him, so he probably took care of this one to reduce the number of people, but he'd take care of himself around at the time the king was here in the first place, wouldn't he?
The table around where me and the king are sitting is empty.
I picked a table in the corner of the dining room. I think it's hard on me.
The table in the middle, something that threatened to close the dining room itself.
That's bad for the cooks who prepared today's lunch.
"I'd like to talk to you for a moment."
"Oh, really?"
I was the king who said I wanted to talk to you, but it didn't seem like I had any particular business, it was just like I could say chat.
I feel I had started talking mainly about how I was spending my time since I came to this country.
He asked me what I was doing for the holidays, and when I answered that I was mostly in the lab or the library of the Royal Palace, I was worried that it would be a holiday.
When I said that my hobbies were herbal development, aromatherapy, cooking, etc., so I didn't change what I would do for the holidays, it seemed to convince me at first.
So he spoke the whole way, and at the end of the meal, the king was returned to the royal palace with the thankless saying, "I will come again".
A few days later, the crusade in the Gosh Forest west of Wangdu was successfully concluded, and the Second and Third Knights returned to Wangdu.
Sometimes a little further away from the King's Capital than the east and south woods, it was about two weeks before he came back from departure, including travel.
Potion seems to have helped properly, and it was a week ago that I was relieved to hear that there were no dead in this crusade.
However, although there were no deaths, the wounded were quite there, and it seemed that some people were to be admitted to places like hospitals after returning to Wang Capital.
Shortly after returning from the crusade, the captain had told me that there seemed to be a lot of post-processing, so I decided to set aside a few days before visiting the hospital.
I heard that some of the Knights of the Third Knights are in the hospital.
To pay my respects, I decided to bake my usual cookies and take them.
"Hello ~"
"Oh, it's Sai."
"How are you feeling?
"You're right, I'm fine"
"What are you talking about, you looked like you were dying when you came back"
"Uh-oh."
Once inside the building where everyone was hospitalized, it felt exactly like a hospital, where the knights were, it was a large room for ten people.
There were many people in the room where the first knight I found had not healed the lacerations and stab wounds sustained by the body cadre.
Listening to the story, he said there were tons of demons in the west woods that hadn't been on a crusade in a while, and in the crusade, there were quite a few wounded.
You said that there was a limited number of potions, so you did a lot of work, and you managed not to only get the dead?
That's why the people in this room came back to the royal palace only to stop the bleeding in the potion.
In the course of the week, you think most people seem to have gotten quite well, but actually still have to rest?
Sometimes quite a few people are in the hospital, and for a while the crusade seems to be off, but he said he's going back to the Knights with more and more discharges from the people who can move.
Because skipping a day of training takes more than twice as long to undo?
I guess so too, but I think the knights are pretty addicted to work (workaholic).
"You had a rough time."
"Still, it was just so good to be back alive."
"Yes, thanks to Sei's potion."
"I'm glad the potion helped."
It lights up a little bit because everyone says thank you to me orally.
Whatever it is, I'm glad the dead didn't come out.
We talked a lot, but we talked about having people from the Third Knights in addition to this room, so we said goodbye to the people in this room and moved to the next room.
I was glad I worked hard on the potion because it felt the same way everywhere I went to the room and everyone would thank me.
How many rooms were you comfortable visiting that way?
I found the face knight in that room and lost his voice.
"Whoa, did you come to see me?
As usual, there was no left arm of him who laughed and spoke to me softly.
I managed to nod and reply, but to my usual appearance, he laughed as troubled and put his head on with his right hand.
I didn't think the fact that there was always nothing there was more shocking.
I didn't get a word out of what to say.
"That arm......"
Oh, hey, hey, hey.
He laughed profusely that he had it in his demon.
When I asked him if he couldn't cure it in the potion, he said that even the advanced HP potion seemed sophisticated enough to cure a fingertip defect and that when he was an arm, he couldn't.
In that sense, he laughs that the leader of the regiment was lucky when he was a salamander.
"When you can't cure it with potion, did you cure it with healing magic later?
"Yeah, well, I don't know."
I've heard stories before about healing magic working better than potion, but he mumbled with a subtle look.
"Is there a problem?
"Even healing magic is hard to cure."
His story was that healing magic requires eight levels of holy attribute magic to cure hand-foot defects.
And the problem is that now the Royal Palace doesn't have more than six levels of holy attribute magic users, so they don't have anyone who can cure a deficiency in their hands and feet.
"Aren't you there?
"Originally, few sorcerers could use sacred attribute magic."
Sometimes there are few magicians themselves, but among them, they are bulky to say that they are aptitude attributes, and most attributes can't use healing magic, and only those who are apt for holy attribute magic can use healing magic enough to cure defects.
How few sorcerers can use healing magic if there are even proportions of fitting attributes scattered among sorcerers?
"You could have just used a potion to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, it would have been a feather to burn with fire."
It hurts just to ask.
"Thank God you're here today. It's good to see you last."
"Huh? Last?
"When I could move, I decided to quit the Knights and go home. It's hard to keep a knight in these arms."
I was convinced when I was told.
I don't want to convince you.
I look at his arm, which is missing from halfway between his arms.
Because of the stopping of the bleeding in the potion, the incision is beautifully flourished with meat, and I can't even see the bones or anything.
I just lost what was there, and I won't be able to see him as he says.
He did join the Knights after graduation from the Royal School (Academy), he should be a former civilian.
I think that if we quit the Knights, their status will be civilian again and they won't even be able to come to the Royal Palace.
That's what I thought, I missed you so much.
When he gently touched his arm, he shook his body frighteningly.
"If... If your arm were to heal, would you like to heal it?
"It's..."
To my inquiry, the look on his face, which had always been a smile, crept and distorted.
That's right.
Nobody likes it and wants to lose their arms.
The level of sacred attribute magic required to cure a defect is 8 levels.
I meet that condition well enough.
But if I cure you here, I think it's gonna be hard to argue that you're an ordinary person.
If he was a stranger, he might have walked away pretending he didn't see anything.
No.........................
Maybe even if you were a stranger, you'd end up healing more than you've seen.
Even if I walk away pretending I didn't see it, I'm sure I'll be back concerned.
My heart is full of it.
I'm quite a caretaker.
Concentrate the magic in your body on the palms of those who are touching him.
Depending on the amount of magic you concentrate on, you can adjust how far you can heal.
This time it cures a single missing arm, so it gathers considerably more magic than usual.
Please heal well.
Praying so, I cast my magic.
