CHAPTER 157: WHAT SEIICHI CANDO

(TN: Bonus chapter from the patrons!)

Oi, get out of the way! Hes injured!

Wheres the stockpile of recovery drugs!?

Its almost gone!

I cant put him in the Recovery Space anymore!

I managed to get through safely inside the main gate, and I was stunned by the sight unfolding in front of me .

Their whole body is full of scratches, a lot of soldiers were moving desperately while bleeding .

Even ordinary people and children move around to help them, and are helping here and there .

Everyone does what they can do now, and were struggling to survive .

Seeing me stunned, Riel-san laughs with her nose and took me around the city .

Its like shes showing me that I cant do anything, that was how we walked .

Hows that? Do you understand? You said you could be useful .

After walking around, Riel-san stopped in a place like a square, and said that in a tone like shes ridiculing me .

In response to that, I

Its good, it looks like Ill be useful, too .

Wha?

For some reason, Riel-san opened her eyes and her mouth blankly .

But as soon as she tightens her face, she gazes at me with a terrible look .

Are your eyes just decorations? When you look at this situation, do you think that you could be helpful? Look at those wounded soldiers . Theres no longer a stockpile of recovery drugs, and the Recovery Space are already full with many injured people . But the enemy wont wait for us like that, and theyll launch an attack . We dont have time to heal our wounds . And even if you had a recovery drug right now .

Is these recovery drugs enough?

I took out all the best recovery drugs from my item box .

This recovery drug is made with the Special Medicinal Plant that I got in the Forest of Endless Love and Sorrow, and it was cultivated with the magic Instant Farm that I created, and Ive been growing it up in parallel with the Fruit of Evolution . Why is that? Iya, since its a magic that I made with great care, it was a waste to do it just for the Fruit of Evolution . By the way, the Fruit of Evolution grew up smoothly, and a good number of them has been harvested, but Im worried about where to use it .

Aside from that, Im originally a weak-hearted person, so I had prepared a lot of recovery medicine in case anything happens . Im glad that my preparation seems to be useful .

Riel-san, who was silently staring at the recovery drugs lined up in front of her, shook her head slowly .

Tha, that strange . Did my eyes become decorations? Theres a recovery drug right in front of me thats also called the highest-grade recovery drug, and there were already a lot of legendary items here

Are? Its not enough? I still have some ingredients, so why not I make one? One can be done in about three seconds, but

Three seconds!?

In front of Riel-san, who opened her mouth and said that as if her jaw might come off, I took out the special medicinal herbs and tools, and I activated my skill and made it in an instant . Ah, I dont need three seconds .

Yes, just like this . Ah, can you give me something like a container?

What are you!?

Riel-san suddenly grabbed my shoulder, and she began to shake me with great power . My view is swaying around!

Is it possible to instantly make such highest-grade recovery drug!? Are you a God, youre a God, right!? Ah!?

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoure wrowrowrowrowrong!

I dont know what youre talking about!

Thats unreasonableeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I cant speak properly because you grabbed my shoulder and is shaking it!

The tree looked at me like that and laughed .

Ooooooiiiiiiiii, treeeeeeee! Stop this persoooooooon!

Eh? Its impossible . Im just a tree . Besides, Im wondering what will happen to Seiichi-sama if things go on like this . Im just a tree .

Youuuuuuuuuu!

I was shaken so hard that my brain got dizzy and I felt sick .

When I felt uncomfortable and about to vomit, the person who had been hiding from behind me until now rushed out in a hurry .

Riel, stop stop! Hes going to vomit as it is!

What!? Gross!

Thats really unreasonable!?

I was released thanks to the person who jumped out, and I put my hand on the ground for a while to calm my swaying vision . Ah, its dangerous . That was almost the same as that tree and it was about to come out of my mouth

When I finally got my sight set, I raised my face, and theres a woman in black standing next to Riel-san .

Apparently, shes the same as the person in black I have seen in the Forest of Sealed Magic, but I never thought she was a woman . I couldnt understand her gender at that time just by looking at her, but is there any kind of technology that makes it difficult to understand ones gender?

When I was observing the woman dressed in black while thinking like that, the person approached me with a wry smile and reached out to me .

I took that hand without knowing the reason, and when I stood up, the woman in black bowed her head .

Im sorry . Riel didnt have ill will .

Fuun . You dont have to get worried on such a suspicious man .

But this recovery drug is his, right? If thats the case, dont treat him so badly .

After telling Riel-san so, the woman in black who turned back to me opens her mouth .

I didnt introduce myself at once, right? Im Suin . For the meantime, Im doing reconnaissance and espionage .

Tha, thank you . I am Hiiragi Seiichi, an adventurer .

Yup yup, nice to meet you, Seiichi-kun! Look, Riels not gonna introduce herself!

Im Riel . Im sorry for being upset a little while ago .

The woman in black following Suin-san, Riel-san opened her mouth in a bad way .

Now, we knew each others names, but Seiichi-kun . Can we get these recovery drugs?

Yes, of course . Thats why I put it out . As I told Riel-san, but if its not enough, Ill still make some, you know?

Thank you! Were saved! But, I just want to ask you one question, can Seiichi-kun use recovery magic?

Yes, I can .

Ah, I see I see! Then, the recovery drug is already good, so there is a place where I want you to come a little .

Oi, Suin! Are you going to bring this guy with you!?

Because it cant be helped, you know? Besides, we have the highest-grade recovery drug, and his recovery magic might be amazing, too .

But, even if you dont take him all the way to such a place, they can heal with just the recovery drug .

That takes too long . We dont have time to give each person a drink . Compared to that, its only a moment depending on the type of recovery magic .

Guh

Uhmm what should I do after all?

The story went on without me, so when I asked them so suddenly, Suin-san was in a panic .

Ah, sorry sorry! Ill explain it to Seiichi-kun . I want Seiichi-kun to use his recovery magic in a place called Recovery Space .

Eh? But, you cant use magic in this country, right?

Yup, the Forest of Sealed Magic trees are sucking up the magic in their surroundings .

I looked at the tree involuntarily at Suin-sans words .

Oi, perhaps its your fault .

Now now, isnt that fine . It doesnt make sense to get angry at a tree, you know?

Its a right argument, thats why, Im even more angry!

Certainly, its no use getting angry at the forest or the trees . Because it might be such an ecology .

Can I continue talking?

Ah, sorry

Its fine, its fine! So, for Seiichi-kuns question, theres only one place in this country where magic can be used . And thats the Recovery Space .

If so, can magic be used normally there?

However, there is only one type of magic that can be used in that special place . Its just recovery magic . Thats why in this country, all magicians become healers .

I see

Its a very limited place . However, I think its good that only recovery magic is all right and attack magic cant be used . It will be helpful when you get injured .

Well, thats fine, but

That is it okay? I cant say it to myself, but I think Im quite suspicious .

The tree that was listening to my words, looked at me as it opened its eyes as if its saying You werent aware of it? . No, I dont think Im as suspicious as you, you know?

Can you take such a suspicious person to a place that seems important to this country?

Its the only place in the country where recovery magic can be used, and I dont know how it works, but if I were an enemy, theres a chance Id mess it up .

Perhaps my suspicions are reasonable, since Riel-san still has a difficult look on her face, but Suin-san smiled cheerfully .

Im not worried about that . Actually, Ive been looking behind your back since you and Riel were talking at the front gate .

I knew that . I didnt say anything because its going to be a little confusing .

And I can tell it with my Truth Eyes, which is a skill to know if the other person is lying or not . And I was activating it when you and Riel were having a conversation, but I didnt get any results that you were lying . In fact, you dont want to act hostile with us, right?

Of course!

The instant I answered that, Suin-sans eyes flashed blue for a moment . Perhaps that Truth Eyes was activated .

Yup, the word you said just now wasnt a lie . Well, like this, youre not at least our enemy . So, now that theres an overwhelming shortage of labor force, I really want you to lend us a hand . Is it okay?

If youre fine with me

Yeah, those words arent lies . Then, if you please .

As Suin-san laughs while saying so, she started to guide us to the Recovery Space .

At that time, the recovery medicine I made was picked up by a soldier with few scratches and carried carefully as it was .

When I see him and started moving, I took a view at the surroundings again .

Various people are moving around, and I thought how hard this country was fighting at the last minute .

Speaking of which, the other day, the Empress? She didnt tell me when I met her, but where is this place?

Here, is it? This is

Suin . Her Majesty didnt answer . We cant answer that .

Because that seems to be so, I cant seem to teach it to you . Sorry?

Haa

I dont think its necessary to keep it so secret .

Then, I have another question, is this the so-called capital of the country?

Thats right .

Etto is this state of the capital, okay with the other cities?

Ah, thats okay . Theres only one other way to get to other cities without passing through this capital . Its not on land, but on the sea .

Eh? The, then is the sea outside of this Forest of Sealed Magic?

Thats what I said . In addition, there are many ocean currents and reefs in the sea, and a ship wont get very close easily . Thats why were having a hard time with trade Or rather, were almost isolated and self-sufficient .

Apparently, this country seems to be a more special place than I think .

However, it would be the only relief to say that they dont have to worry about anything other than this city for the time being . Well, I guess it also leads to the situation where they cant even ask for help as a result .

As we walk while continuing such a conversation, I realize that were there .

Uhmm Suin-san? By any chance, is this the Recovery Space

Oh, did you notice? As you may have guessed, theres a place for recovery in the Cagna Castle, which is the symbol of this country .

Thats why I didnt want to bring this guy in recovery space .

Riel-san says so grumpily, but you certainly dont want to bring such a suspicious person to a place where empress-san lives . When I was in Terviel, I was taken away .

As it is, I arrived at that Cagna Castle , and when Suin-san calls out to the gatekeeper, I was able to get inside easily .

The castle building itself may not be much different from the castle in Terviel, but I feel that its style is of foreign country .

Then, Seiichi-sama . Ill be waiting at the garden there .

Eh, youre not coming?

Then immediately after entering the castle, I was surprised that Tree began to say such a thing .

I dont know what Seiichi wants from me, but Im originally just a tree, you know? My job is to photosynthesize and sleep .

Crap, I completely forgot because you dont look like a normal tree any more

Thats right, its originally a tree . Well, trees dont move, and dont talk . As I thought, I was too poisoned .

Besides, certainly, the Tree will only guide me to this country, and it shouldnt have any reason to follow me this far .

Are? Then, when are you going to turn back into a normal tree?

Come now? On my mood?

Mood!?

Is that appropriate? Well, there is no harm at it except for my mental fatigue, and its fine .

Aside from me who was surprised, the tree went to the garden at its own pace, and as it spreads its branches and leaves on the spot, it began to sunbathe pleasantly . This guy, is really at its own pace when its creator, the Empress, is in a difficult time . I cant say anything because it has a different sensitivity from a human .

Suin-san and the others smiled bitterly, and since its only me who can actually use recovery magic, we left the tree in the garden and started moving again to the Recovery Space .

The Cagna Castle, which has a different style from Terviels castle, including the shape of each pillar and the paintings on the ceilings, Ill never get tired of looking at it .

Ive never been out of Japan when I was on Earth, so from my point of view, Terviel was fresh, but the castle in this country is also new to me, and I never get tired of looking here and there like a country bumpkin .

You youre looking around the castle too much, youre up to something, arent you?

No no no! Thats not true!

Hahaha, Riel . You really care too much . Moreover, Seiichis answer now isnt a lie, and I thinks hes not really an enemy Look, weve arrived .

When Riel-san was getting suspicious, we came in front of a room closed by a heavy metal door .

A person who seems to be the gatekeeper stands in front of the door, and when Suin-san tells him something just like when we entered the castle, we got inside easily .

There

Uu a

Please stay

My eyes I cant see anything

Aaaaaaaaaaahh

Incomparable to the soldiers who were injured outside, it was full of people who were seriously injured .

Several of them, who wore white coats over their black military uniforms, were desperately trying to cast on them what seems to be recovery magic .

However, the number of people isnt enough in the first place, and it doesnt look like the injured individuals have completely healed .

Suin-san, who looks at the scene with a painful expression, explained .

Here is the place to heal the wounded soldiers who cant be saved with the recovery medicine . However, theres also a limit to recovery magic . If you lose your limbs, itll never come back . They are all heroes injured to protect this country . Seiichi-kun . I dont know what your healing magic skill is . But, if you can still use your recovery magic even a little, so that even a little of the heroes here

Healing of the Virgin Lady*(TN: seibo no iyashi)

I activated the Healing of the Virgin Lady which is the highest-grade magic of light attribute .

Then, as Suin-san and the others said, it really looks like I can use recovery magic in this room, and the room was filled with my magic right away . No, on the contrary, beyond this room, the light of the Healing of the Virgin Lady ran throughout the city, and in the castle . Since there is no magic power in the city, my magic might not be able to reach it normally, but my magic really reached there . Once I activated it, it acted as I intended . In other words, it has no effect on the enemy at all, and it feels like its only trying to recover the soldiers and the people of this country

The number of injured in the Recovery Space was higher than expected, and the number of healing magicians didnt seem to be enough at all, so I seriously used my magic . This way, they can all be healed, and by the way, I thought that the people in the town should recover, too . However, theyll not use the recovery drug that I gave to them with great trouble, but well, it would be nice if they could put it to the countrys emergency storage in case something happens .

When I thought so, the other healing magicians were surprised by my magic, and everyone who is injured is stunned and checks their bodies .

O, oi your . wounds

Move my hands, theyre moving!

Ah! I can see, I can see properly! I thought I would never see again!

Oi, even my old wound, which I was told that would never recover, got healed

A miracle, a miracle has happened!

Kuku Ua aaaa aaaahhhhh!

At first, everyone was stunned by what happened to them, but as they gradually begin to accept reality, with tears in their eyes, they smiled at each other and rejoiced . Yup yup, I dont like that dark atmosphere . After all, I like peoples expressions when they are happy .

For the time being, I completed the aid that Suin-san told me, and I turn my eyes to Suin-san and the others .

Suin-san . Is this okay?

Ah, by the way, I managed to heal the wounds of the soldiers who were outside by my magic from here, so please make sure of it . Because of that, I think that the use of the recovery drugs that I gave you earlier has disappeared, but please put it in the emergency storage or as a fertilizer for your warehouse just in case . For the time being, since they have no expiration date, they can be stored forever .

Well, theyve been doing a good job for a long time, right?

Recently, theyve been fighting and killing gruesomely, and Im afraid that the world is paying attention to them, and it appears that I really am a mass of insaneness and absurdness, but if I do it this far, they wont say that . Theres no element that theyll said that to me because I help their people . Perfect!

As I was convinced by myself, I think that something is strange to Suin-san and Riel-san who are still silent, so I looked into their faces

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?

Uwa, I was surprised!?

All of a sudden, they screamed together .

Then Riel-san grabs my shoulder like the time with the recovery medicine again, and starts shaking more than that time .

What are you after all!? A God, or a deity!? Thats right, it must be . Say that its true!

If thats the case, then youre being disrespectful, you knooooooooooow!?

No, its fine because Im not actually a God, but if I was a god, that statement is really disrespectful Ill vomit .

Perhaps she sensed a disturbing sign from my stomach or my mouth, Riel-san thrusts me out as if she just touched a filth .

Ah, I was released fast thats what I thought, but

Seseseseiichi-kun!? What was that just now!? And why are the bodies of the people who lost their limbs got restored?!

Suuuuuuuuuuuin-sasasaaannnnn! Cacaca, calm down, calm doooooooooown!

Just a minute, Evolution-san!? Shouldnt you get adapted in this situation!? Otherwise, Ill vomit and die!? Socially!

Skill Evolution has been activated . This will adapt to your body .

I adapted to this .

That was just a joke, but apparently, the world and brain announcer-san seemed to be very smart, and the unpleasantness that had been beckoning me to social death until a while ago, completely disappeared cleanly that I felt relieved .

Still, she hasnt stopped grabbing my shoulder and shaking it, and I answered Suin-sans question with my head wobbling .

And for the time being, since it was a hassle, I healed all of their injuries together .

I dont know what that means!?

It doesnt make any sense, but thats what it means .

The influence of magic that extends beyond this space, and that my magic worked effectively because of it, I still dont understand well, but I wonder if this world has given me a strange flexibility . No, did the world really showed its effect by being flexible?

Ah, because of the healing magic, I probably cured old wounds and other areas at once, so I apologize if theres someone who left scars on purpose . I wanted everyone to get well as soon as possible, and I didnt think about it and activated my magic .

Whether its convincing or not, I gave my own explanation properly, but both Riel-san and Suin-san were stunned and were shaking their heads .

Its strange . Its strange after all . What? Whats going on? What the heck is this guy in front of us? We, we were in a crisis, werent we? What? I dont know what it means by saying it myself, but what does it mean to be were in past tense?

Ri, Riel, calm down . No, its not a situation to be calm . But they are really healed, and its beyond the scope of my understanding? What? Thats, who is he?

I understand! Oi, you bastard! What does this mean?!

Isnt that too vague!?

No matter what that means, everything Ive done in front of Riel-san and the others eyes were all right

But if they insist, Ill probably say something like Ive been feeling strong recently .

Your normality has run off?

Whats normality has run off?!

No, I dont want to hear that . But I think so a lot recently, and I cant help it . Why did it run off? Is it playing tag? Hide and seek?Come back because it isnt okay for me to lose you

While holding my head to answer her, Riel-san politely tells me one by one .

Is it okay? First of all, the recovery drug . A typical recovery drug isnt a highest-grade recovery drug . The recovery drugs, are good for those who needs to heal their cuts completely . You lined up such stupid things that could cure any wound of legendary class in an instant, you know?

Well, I thought it would be better if there were a lot of them .

Ah, actually, we were saved . And, you came here with recovery magic . What? Regeneration of loss part? And the whole city? Hahaha, I have no choice but to laugh .

Ha, haa

Riel-san, your eyes arent laughing .

I only understand one thing . You bastard is a mass of absurdity .

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?

Strange! I thought it was good, but their insane treatment is strange!

No matter how I think about it, youre weird Within the scope of common sense, there are several recovery drugs on the market, and recovery magic can be used by one person at a time, or at most three at the same time . Moreover, it only alleviates the wounds of seriously injured people, and there can be no cure .

Thats rightwell, thanks to Seiichi-kun being out of our common sense, everyone is smiling after that .

Im going to cry because I was called absurd!

This is enough! If my tears make everyone smile, then Ill cry!

Looking at the soldiers rejoicing with tears involuntarily, someone came to the entrance of Recovery space .

Seiichi-sama, is it over? Well done . Theres a magical wave up here, too . Also, that was just a mass of unreasonableness and insaneness No, Unreasonableness and Insaneness would be too hefty of a load of words to describe Seiichi-sama .

Would you stop gouging my heart as soon as you came!?

It was the tree that was supposed to be doing photosynthesis or something in the square .

The tree came to this place where Id just been almost mentally beat up .

What do you mean by Unreasonableness and Insaneness are too hefty to describe me!? In the first place, you dont use Unreasonable when you describe a person in one word!? Ive never even heard of that mass!Except for me!?

Well, what are you doing here? Didnt you wait in the square?

Im here because Im free .

Youre originally just a tree!

I dont think you have any spare time . I think its the life of trees to grow roots and perform photosynthesis .

Well, then, for the time being, the urgent problem in this city seems to have been cleared up, so lets go to the next .

Wha? Next?

What more am I going to do?

I frown at the words of the tree and I tilt my head .

Yes . What I would like you to do next, Seiichi-sama, is

What the heck is going on here?

!?

The one who blocked the words of the tree and appeared at the entrance of the recovery space, was the woman called Empress .

(TN: Mindblown, right!)
