Inside the castle, I run to the Knights' waiting area ahead, sidelined by a surprised looking samurai.

Since when have you run so hard?

I feel faster than when I was in the original world.

Maybe I can make it to the Olympics now.

With that in mind, I move my legs so hard.

I don't know if I'm thinking of something else, but if I'm not, I'm in a hurry.

I remember the words of the mercenaries I heard earlier.

The Knights said the damage was worse, but how much damage did they take?

I have participated in crusades in the Wang capital, and I also see that the knights were injured at that time.

If the damage is as bad as it was then, it's still fine.

Something that even the people of the Court Demon Division accompanying you can cure adequately.

However, there must be more injuries than usual to the fact that they have suffered more damage than the mercenary regiment.

Usually, something with fewer injuries than the mercenary regiment just now.

Is he safe?

I tie my lips to the thought that came to mind.

I don't care what state you're in, if you're alive.

Then something that heals you with all your might.

We renewed our resolve and headed to the Knights' waiting area.

"Sai!!!

I could see the waiting area, as well as the cavaliers coming back there.

There are still many injured people.

The number of people walking on the shoulders of others was also higher than that of the mercenary regiment.

Unexpectedly wrinkles between eyebrows.

The entrance to the waiting area was crowded with injuries.

As I approached the side, one of them noticed me and raised his voice.

The knights around you turn to that voice.

Uniquely, the tired look turns into a relief.

"Are you all right?

"Oh, as you can see, there are no dead."

I'm relieved of that word, too.

"I'm treating you inside..."

"I'll help!

"Sorry, that helps."

If I blocked the knight's voice and declared it, he thanked me with a look of sorry.

No, no.

I'm here with you on a crusade, even though I was interested in the sanctuary of pharmacists.

It's only natural that I join the treatment, too.

Seems so sorry, it's not about being asked.

So I smiled back at the knight.

The entrance was crowded, but the people I noticed coming through pave the way one after the other.

Once inside the hall, the entrance was no less crowded.

Behind the hall are court magicians sitting in a chair, lined with injured people.

Looks like he's treating a mildly ill person.

On either side of it, there are serious injuries sitting up or lying down along the wall.

Another sorcerer walked among them and in turn hung the magic of recovery.

Well, where is the captain?

Whatever you do, you should check the situation first and discuss how it works, right?

I thought so and looked around, but I don't see the blonde I'm used to seeing.

Haven't you come back yet?

Or......

Sometimes I can't see him, and something severe spreads across my chest.

No, you said that earlier, Mr. Knight.

No one's dead.

I shook my head and shook off an unpleasant thought.

Looking for the captain, and tempered, a knight with a pair of eyes made a call this way.

Look, there's a hedge there.

Maybe there's a captain in there.

When I walked to him early, I could see the captain sitting in a chair from the crevice of the mansion.

What's the matter with you?

It seems kind of neat, leaning over, so I don't know the look on your face.

"Hawk..."

I tried to speak up, and it solidified.

Because a servant like you had a white cloth on the head of the captain.

A dull red colour seeped into the white cloth, which appeared slightly.

Did you get a head injury?

... head!?

Sooo much blood pulled from my face.

The head injury is bad.

We need to treat him fast!

The moment I thought so, I felt a sense of remembrance seep out of my chest area.

"This is it!

"Sai!

What!? Why?

Though I panicked without knowing why, the magic that overflows out of me never stops.

White and golden magic drifts around the flurry, gradually filling the hall.

The knights also made a scene when they noticed the magic drifting around them.

Oh, what shall I do?

No, anyway......

Once we have put an end to the thought that seems confusing, we recall our original purpose.

Yes, treatment.

We need to treat it.

The moment I thought so, the technique activated and the magic filled the hall reacted.

Stronger than usual light overflows and vision stains the white monochrome.

If the light healed that way, the injuries to the people in the hall would have healed, as we had hoped.

That went up after my vision went back to normal, a loud cheer represented.

"Sai?"

"Ah... Master Hawk, are you all right?

"Oh, I'm not so badly hurt"

"He said it wasn't a major injury...... was he hurt in the head?

"I'm fine. I guess it just seemed exaggerated because of the blood."

The sudden activation of the technique frightened me, but the captain called me back.

Of course, the surgery now seems to have healed the captain's injuries.

Your servant is releasing his hand from the head of the regiment, but there was no blood.

I was relieved by that.

"By the way, could this be..."

"Yes......"

You don't have to tell everyone.

You wanted to ask me if my current technique was that of the [Virgin].

Nodding halfway through the words of the captain.

Still, how could the [Virgin] technique have been activated at this time?

Like when you use healing magic, you didn't intentionally spread magic outside your body, did you?

I don't know if there was any trigger...

Speaking of which, I remember what it said in [the pharmacist's] diary.

Indeed, when [the pharmacist] activated the [Virgin] technique for the first time, he was in a hurry because his brother's medical condition had worsened.

The rush triggered it?

It may be common when it comes to this matter.

Something that moved my mind when I saw the captain injured.

Not only this time, but also the last time the technique was activated in the West Forest.

But the situation is a little different than it was at the lab before that.

Even then, I was definitely in a hurry not to find a way to increase the potion's effectiveness inside.

However, if the technique can be activated in such a hurry, it should be possible to activate it in the courtroom demon division's practice area.

The pressure from the division chief, who was lining up beside him, was not halfway through.

I think I was in a hurry enough.

Still didn't activate, did it?

If it's not a rush, what the hell...

"… (a). Sai?"

Consciousness surfaces all the time in the voice that can be called upon.

Looks like I've been thinking about it.

I had eyes with the worried captain because I called him several times and he didn't respond.

"Excuse me, just a thought."

"Right. About the [Virgin] technique?

"Yes, I was wondering how it could have been activated..."

"Hmm..."

Listening to my words, the captain puts his hand on his chin and thinks in.

They heard the knights around them, too, and they thought together.

It would be very appreciated if you could cooperate in this way.

Sometimes listening to other people brings up new ideas.

When we all come up with opinions that it's not, uh, it kind of feels like we're buddies.

Companion... companion.

In retrospect, even when the first [Virgin] technique was activated in the Institute, I was thinking about the Institute and the Third Knights.

Could it have been the reason I was thinking about my people?

Hmm, a little weak as a trigger?

But I also feel like I'm not far from hitting it.

Certainly when the laboratory......

If I followed what I had in mind the first time I activated the procedure, as long as I could remember, change came in one place.

Something moved on my chest.

Surprised for a moment, when I stopped thinking, the movement also calmed down.

Unexpectedly wrinkles between eyebrows.

"Sai, what's up?

"Ah... no, it's nothing"

Look at my expression, the captain spoke to me, but I couldn't be honest with him.

Ugh......

Even if they stare at me so much, there's no way I can talk to them.

'Cause...

When I think about the captain, my technique activated. How can I say that!?

I'm too shy to do it! I can't!
