The day Hikar came to the city of Borderzad, closest to the Un el Portan Great Forest from Scalazad.

I had a bad feeling when I wanted to pass in front of the official hall where the wounded were being held.

"Intuition" must have worked.

As I step inside, the precipitated air pushes against me.

And —— I heard voices.

(Paula...)

Three girls that came out of Cold Village. The party, organized with a young man from the neighbouring village, collapsed when he encountered a large group of goblins.

It was on the brink that Hikaru saved it, and he had eaten with it.

Paula seemed to have a thick crush on Hikaru among them.

(Seemed to need money. You must have joined this monster crusade for "good reward")

But I can't blame you for that.

As usual, an adventurer like them would have helped. Carry a monster defeated by a high-ranking adventurer, or defeat a miscellaneous fish.

I can only say I was unlucky.

That's why, I guess.

Hikaru walked by Paula and reunited with her.

And find out that Pier and Priscilla, those two are dying.

(Using a soul board, you can treat both of them)

But the soul board can't be negative. If I raise her "restorative magic" here —— what does she do?

What if Paula turns to the enemy after this?

Why don't you blow the power of Hikaru?

(... This is a simple matter. Do I trust her? [M] Am I going to kill them? Well, I wonder what it means to run into so many times so far)

And Hikaru said.

".................. Paula. You want to help both of us?

I decided to trust you.

If you eventually decide Paula is not credible enough, you kill her with your own hands.

Be prepared for that.

Paula didn't get lost again either. I felt ready to lose my life if I could save Pier and Priscilla.

"Close your eyes. The next time you open your eyes, your life will change."

In the gap where Paula closed her eyes, Hikaru opens her soul board.

"Open your eyes."

…………

Paula's eyes wet in tears are looking at Hikaru.

"Do you feel any difference?

"... the magic, the feeling of increased"

"Use your magic to restore magic to both of you."

"Yes."

Hikaru placed his hand on Paula's shoulder and put his hand on Pier's forehead with his opposite hand.

Demonstrate "mass blockade".

"'In heaven, O our God, do miracles in his name. What the right hand brings is the benefit of life, and what the left hand brings is the blessing of death. Do us no favor in the earth. It is this magic that we dedicate more than ourselves' --"

A good chant ensues.

The warm magic of po and gold abounds from Paula's body. But she herself hasn't noticed it because she has her eyes closed.

A golden light moves from both hands against Pier's stomach to Pier.

The meat in my stomach moves with a tingle and is automatically repaired. It even seemed like I was watching it on CG.

(Recovery magic, 8 sounds good enough)

There was a reason not to make it 10. I didn't know how much magic would be activated, and there was something about having trouble if I ran out of "magic power".

You could have stopped at 6 or 5, but probably that much of a user would be in this world if you looked. But Hikaru has rarely heard of partial defects - the restoration of a human being whose belly flesh is falling apart in gossip. Not at all, but they were like "legends".

I thought it would be about 8 if it was on the "legend" level.

There wasn't enough time to verify that.

"Ugh..."

Fluffy and Paula's body stings. Hikaru supported her with both hands.

"... you used the increased magic all at once?

"Ha, yes...... because Master Hikaru told me to take the liberty. So the peer--"

"Look at that."

Paula looked at Peer —— his eyes opened.

"Oh, my stomach... healing...!!"

"Good for you."

————

Guru and great momentum gave Paula a look at Hikaru.

"Bigal zabbaaaaa!!"

"Ahhh."

Hikaru's spine made an unpleasant noise when he was hugged as much as he wanted.

"Then, fool, get away from me!

"But, but, but whoa, whoa!

"You've got another one!

"Ah."

Paula leaves in advance.

(Phew...... glad I did "mass blockade")

No one is aware of how this one is doing.

"What happened to Priscilla?

"It's poisonous... it doesn't work with my antidote magic."

"I don't know, can't you solve the problem of detoxifying magic without knowing the target poison?

"No, you should be able to solve it. If it's a strong toxin, does it feel like offsetting it with strong magic?"

"The rest of the magic is gone."

When Hikaru confirmed in "Magic Detection," Paula's magic power was much reduced.

Open the soul board and pour 1 into the "Magic Power" out of the remaining point 4.

"What, what, what —— more magic...!? This is Hikaru!?"

Just use the antidote magic.

"Ah, yes!

That's how the blood color returned to Priscilla's expression when Paula applied the antidote magic.

"Oh, good... good..."

There's finally relief in Paula's face.

And keep your eyes closed, and fall asleep,

"Fugu!?"

Hikaru's chops were dropped in the brain.

"What are you trying to sleep for? Are you going to leave you two in such an unhygienic place? We're moving it now."

"Oh, ha, yes no..."

Hikaru, along with Paula, let Priscilla stand up first by supporting her from both sides. Then we get out of the synagogue and head to the Crusade Team Adventurer Camp.

The City Inn did not have the capacity to accommodate all adventurers. For this reason, the Adventurer Alliance training ground was a campsite.

Once divided between female adventurers and men, Paula was given a small tent when she applied. Hikaru used "secret" to break into an area for women without finding out.

"Priscilla...... wait a minute, I'll bring Pia too soon"

Out of the tent, the campsite adventurers are rushing out.

"Hey, what's going on..."

"Oh, a bunch of monsters are pushing us to this city,"

"I see —— eh!? Isn't that so bad!? How can you be so calm?!?"

Hikaru laughs at Ni.

"There's someone over there who's good at dealing with that kind of thing, so it's okay"

"Someone who's good at it......?

"Let's bring Peer. Let's hurry."

Exit the campsite and head to the public hall.

"More than that, the problem is Paula"

"Wow, it's me!? It's okay! Thanks to Hikaru, I can afford magic, and I feel I'm recovering faster!

Paula seems to think it's Hikaru's fault for improving the amount of magic in things she doesn't know exactly what she did.

I also raised the level of healing magic, but I don't think I know anything about it yet.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can explain it.

"I told you, didn't I? He said he'd give the rest of his life to me."

"Ah, yes —— ah, uh, mundane, thank you very much."

Hikaru put the chop in Paula's brain weather as she stopped and bowed her head deeply.

"Fugu!?"

"Ready? I'm not kidding. [M] As you understand it, I messed with your magic."

"... Ugh, you were treating me like a woman when you called me..."

"Because I'm going to be in good shape. Your power is now one of the best in this country and no continent."

"Ha."

"Oh, it's not. Think about it. Do you know a healing magic user other than yourself who can cure a man whose stomach has been snubbed?

!!

Paula's expression hardened.

"Well, if you say so… indeed, as much as I have heard that the upper echelons, the Cardinals, will be able to do among the churches…"

I see, I seem to be inside the church. "Recovery magic" could have been 6, not 8, if it existed now, not at the "legend" level —— I thought so.

"What happens when your powers are known all around you?

"Duh, what happens..."

"Even the church will want to secure it, and the royal marquis will want to keep it at hand. It's powerful enough to 'make sure you didn't' an accident. We'll work together around you. How many and dozens will die for you. That's what I heard earlier."

Paula's face blues.

I guess I'm finally realistic and approaching myself.

"Okay. Anyway, don't stand out. And thank me for that power."

"Dear Hikaru...... give back"

"How many times will you be satisfied if I save your life?

…………

Kiyu, and Paula pull their lips together.

"I finally understand what Master Hikaru said. … Please accept the life of this Paula-Nola"

Apparently Hikaru won the bet.

Paula is creditable enough.

Glad to use the soul board, I thought.

"Let's think again about what we're going to do. Carry the peer first. Then Paula stays with him until you two wake up. When you two wake up -- run to safety. And say goodbye."

"... ok"

You can't take Pia and Priscilla.

The more opponents to protect, the more disadvantaged they become. Hikaru's abilities are one-on-one.

Paula nodded to Hikaru's instructions, whether she knew it there or somehow guessed it.

"I'll give you this"

Hikaru gave him a leather bag with gold and a key to the house, with an address on it.

"I now live in a city called Scalazard in the Union of Forestia. Please go to the house first. You can split the money between Pier and Priscilla. You two give it back to the village-- you know it's not for adventurers anymore."

"Oh, um... am I okay?

"I have plans, too. I wanted a healing magic user nearby."

"... is that right?"

"Are you disappointed to find out you're dealing with tools?

"No —— Master Hikaru saved Pia and Priscilla's life. I'm not dissatisfied with anything."

It was a clear answer.

"... then fine"

"What does Master Hikaru do?

"I'm going to end this commotion."

"... end it?

"Come on, let's move on."

"Yes!

Hikaru and Paula headed to the synagogue.

I have a little anxiety.

But right now, I couldn't be stuck with Paula.
