Side Story: The Redheaded Adventurer
Its been a week since I ca to this world.
How did I end up in this world? I dont know the reason.
However, even if I dont know the reason, Ill starve without sothing to eat.
If I give in to drowsiness outdoors, Im liable to freeze to death in this cold, winter climate.
In order to go on living, in order to buy food, in order to secure lodging, I need to earn money.
Its like an unavoidable curse for those who possess living flesh.
Thats why I decided to beg and plead with Eris, the big-breasted beauty whom I ran into on the streets, to let work at this hospital.
I suppose its about ti for lunch. It will take a little ti to prepare, so please take care of things for a while.
Yeah, got it.
During this week, Ive learned various things from Eris, like where we are, what magic is, and so on.
A world where magic exists. A world of diverse races.
Its completely different from the Japan I was living in up until now.
Of course, Ive had my worries but well, when I gaze at Eris giant knockers, none of that seems to matter anymore.
Im not the type to dwell on things I cant change. And for a little while, it seems like Ill be able to get by sohow thanks to Eris kindness.
Besides, my healing magic ability was apparently amazing enough to shock her.
By helping out here, I should at least be able to keep my stomach full.
Well, its not like there arent any problems, though.
Has Eris never lived together with a man before? Shes overly defenseless.
Like yesterday, she was casually drying her underwear in the room.
How long will my reason last against this defenseless Eris and her massive lons?
I dont have a shred of self-confidence as far as thats concerned.
A custor?
Im mulling that over, when the door to the hospital suddenly opens.
And in walks a girl.
She has red hair that just about reaches down to her shoulders.
Shes wearing a cloak long enough to cover her entire body from the shoulders down, securely fastened in front.
It makes her look like a teru teru bzu.
She sits down in the chair in front of ,
Um, one Heal, please.
and says that. Then, she gingerly sticks her right arm out from under the cloak.
On it, theres so purplish-red discoloration of the skin; perhaps from internal bleeding?
It seems to be a bruise.
No, there may even be so bone fractures. That looks painful.
But well, if its just on the level of bone fractures, a single Heal will do the trick.
Since I started working at this hospital, Ive gotten used to healing magic.
I could heal sothing on this level with my eyes closed.
Well then, Heal.
Then, I invoke healing magic.
When I do-
the girl in front of glows brightly enough to dazzle my eyes.
Ahh
Eh!? Whats this!?
Oh crap. I was careless.
When Heal is invoked, usually it should emit a faint, green glow.
But the one just now was clearly different.
No matter how you look at it, that wasnt normal.
With brightness like that, its as if I cast EX Heal on her entire body.
Even though I only cast Heal on her arm.
Ehhh? That light, that wasnt Heal!?
Redhead-chan seems confused, but I know the cause.
I ssed up my mana manipulation.
The day before yesterday too, the sa sort of thing happened with a different custor.
Afterwards, as a result of verifying my healing magic with Eris, we established the fact that my mana capacity is out of the ordinary.
Having an enormous mana capacity is a strength for a healer, but in a certain respect its also a weakness. That being the precision of my mana manipulation.
Manipulating this enormous amount of mana precisely is like trying to pour juice from a steel barrel into a tiny cup.
If my attention wavers even a little, my mana will easily overflow and go out of control.
All better?
Its not like theres any particular problem if I screw up with a custor, but this one shined unusually bright in comparison.
By so chance, theres a possibility that the healing magic didnt go off correctly.
I need to confirm.
Redhead-chan looks at her own arm, at which point she seems to realize sothing and peeks beneath her cloak.
I-Im healed eh, no way, even the scars? Everything, everything is healed!?
So shes healed. Apparently it worked fine.
I see, thats great. Well then, one Heal cos to 200 Zeni.
You only want 200 Zeni!?
Redhead-chans eyes widen as she speaks.
This is sothing I heard from other custors, but this hospital is apparently cheap compared to other places.
Occasionally, custors who ca without knowing that are surprised.
Yeah, since its an ordinary Heal, that costs 200 Zeni here.
But
Redhead-chan is bewildered.
She might even be feeling guilty over receiving healing for cheaper than market price.
Although shes showing an apologetic face, she looks at her bank card and seems to be hesitating.
She probably doesnt have much money.
If it bothers her that much then Id like for her to show her gratitude with her body a part of thought that, but in the end, her teru teru bzu appearance with zero exposure or sex appeal isnt doing it for .
She should at least take off her cloak since were indoors.
Well, dont worry about it.
And the one who set the price wasnt , it was Eris.
Thank you.
Redhead-chan expresses her thanks. Before I forget, I receive the 200 Zeni with my bank card.
Man, is it just my imagination or is she kinda staring at ?
Then Redhead-chan acts a little perplexed and asks a question.
Umm, about that healing magic just now
I wonder if shes suspicious after all, since that wasnt the glow of a Heal.
And nearly all the healers of this world study at this religious group known as the Church of dine or whatever to learn healing magic, so in that respect Im sothing of an unlicensed practitioner.
I also get the feeling that itd be bad if anyone grills too deeply about my healing magic.
-Then, at that mont.
Sothing even worse happens.
Its Eris.
Eris cos over from the inner hospital, face twitching.
Hey, Shiki. One pair of my underwear is missing; You wouldnt happen to know anything about that, would you?
Well then, miss custor, that will be all! Eris, of course it wasnt . But missing underwear, how terrible! Lets search for it together!
It wasnt .
Okay, it was , but I havent used it for obscene purposes.
Its just that there was underwear within my reach, so I unconsciously grabbed a pair and ended up stashing it under my bed, thats all.
Im interested in girls bodies, but Im not so pervert who gets off from a re pair of underwear.
Thats why it wasnt .
Wait a minute! I I an, That healing magic just now that mustve been!
The redheaded girl is calling out to , but I dont have ti for that right now.
I honestly didnt have any special reason for it, it was rely a passing fancy.
You could call it a reflex, or an impulse.
Even now, I dont know why I did such a thing.
I simply acted on instinct and ended up hiding it before I realized what I was doing.
If I had to na a reason, it was because it was right there in front of .
Thats all.
I-It really wasnt you?
Of course not, Eris! I dont have a clue what happened to your white panties!
But man, this situation is extrely awkward.
I have to get to Eris underwear right away and pretend I found it by chance!
A few days later.
Although Eris was suspicious, I succeeded in maintaining a natural appearance to a certain degree while returning her underwear, and safely finished my work today at the hospital.
Thank goodness I didnt actually get kicked out.
Moreover, Eris started drying her underwear in her own room, so thats one less thing I have to struggle to exercise reason over.
I do kinda get the feeling that she knows I stole it, but Im probably still okay.
As Im contemplating, another visitor cos to the hospital.
Hello.
Its the Redhead-chan from earlier.
But her atmosphere is different from before.
Thinking about whats different, its her clothing.
Shes not wearing the cloak that was covering her entire body like a teru teru bzu.
Today its just shorts and a shirt.
Did she remove the cloak upon entering the hospital? Shes dressed in clothes with a combination of a girly feeling and plenty of exposure for ease of movent.
Sohow theres a bit of a boyish atmosphere to this outfit.
And theres a shield on her arm and a sword attached to her belt. Looks like she was an adventurer.
Err, can I please get a Heal?
Redhead-chan sits on the chair in front of today as well, asking for treatnt.
No, there are other redheaded custors, so lets call her Boyish-chan from now on.
I dont know her na, either.
On Boyish-chans arm, theres a wound that appears to be a slash from a monster.
The bleeding seems to have stopped, but it still looks painful.
From what Eris told , adventuring in this city is a job where you fight monsters for a living.
Injuries like this are probably an everyday occurrence.
Sure, Heal it is.
This ti, I pay careful attention when manipulating my mana and cast Heal.
Once I do, Heal safely invokes and Boyish-chans arm is covered in a faint green glow.
Alright, success. The price will be 200 Zeni.
This ti was a success.
As youd expect, I cant afford to screw up twice with the sa custor.
I was able to cast a genuine, normal Heal.
With this, I shouldnt be questioned about my healing magic.
I knew it, even the scars are healed
However, Boyish-chan looks at the arm I cast healing magic on and mutters that.
Scars.
Now that she ntions it, Im pretty sure Eris said sothing like for treating scars its fine to charge a separate fee or refuse.
Because healing scars is difficult or whatever.
For , though, its so simple that I dont really understand whats hard about it.
But Eris is probably right when it cos to the common sense of society.
I wonder if I ssed up? No, compared to the bright flash last ti, this ti shouldve still been normal.
Im just a little skilled at healing scars.
That shouldnt be enough to make her harbor doubts.
Rather, itd actually be harder for to intentionally avoid healing the scars.
And Boyish-chan doesnt seem to intend to pry too deeply; she takes out her bank card from her pocket without asking any questions in particular.
Then she places her bank card over mine.
However
Oi oi, the moneys not coming out. Maybe you dont have enough of a balance left?
Eh, Huh!?
I check, and the money hasnt passed over into my bank card.
Boyish-chan seems to have noticed as well; her face pales as she stares at her bank card.
Co to think of it, I was so happy that my scars were healed that I ended up buying clothes too There was also the cost of the inn! Ah, plus I got the shield repaired, so
Apparently she has so idea; Boyish-chan holds her head in her hands.
You dont have any money?
Ah, thats, err ahaha.
Scratching her cheek, Boyish-chan laughs and averts her eyes.
Looks like she doesnt.
Now that I think about it, I didnt notice when she was covered up with a cloak like a teru teru bzu, but this Boyish-chan has a pretty nice body.
Her breasts arent quite as big as Eris, but shes rather buxom.
I wonder if I couldnt have her pay with her body?
No way, right? That would be impossible, right?
As Im ogling Boyish-chans breasts in that manner.
Ah
Boyish-chan quickly covers her chest with her hands.
I guess I was staring too intensely.
While its true that shes dressed a bit lightly, as expected, I didnt have any delicacy, huh.
Perhaps shell be on guard and stop coming here anymore.
However, Boyish-chan looks at her bank card, then at my face, and finally down at her own breasts, then starts fidgeting for so reason.
And, gazing at with upturned eyes, she speaks.
Um, theres sothing I wanted to ask you about when you healed before um, that treatnt, was it actually
About before?
I wonder what the heck shes talking about, but if shes bringing it up with this timing it can only an that.
This Boyish-chan is currently worried about not having enough money for treatnt.
If this goes poorly, I could end up handing her over to the authorities.
And as for topics that could co up in that situation
Say no more. I can waive the fee this ti. Just dont say a thing and go ho.
theres the matter of stealing Eris underwear.
Shes using that as a threat.
I cant think of anything other than that.
Its possible that this Boyish-chan was listening to my conversation with Eris earlier.
If I dont want her to spread rumors that theres a pervy healer at this hospital who steals his roommates underwear, then waive the fee.
Im sure thats how this is gonna go.
Got it? Ill heal you whenever you get injured. So please, please dont ntion it.
My honor, or a paltry 200 Zeni per ti fee.
Its obvious which one Ill choose.
And besides, I dont really mind yielding to a threat from a cute girl.
But Boyish-chans reaction is kinda strange.
After I say I dont need the fee, her face turns solid red, and she stares straight into my eyes.
I wonder if waiving the fee wasnt enough and now shes mad?
No, going any further than this would be extortion.
Maybe I should resign myself to being labeled a pervert and hand her over to the authorities already.
However, it looks like my thought process was way off the mark.
My breasts you wanna see them?
Mumbling that with a red face, Boyish-chan places her fingers on her chest buttons.
I dont have enough right now to pay the treatnt fee, but maybe you can excuse it today with this?
Then she starts to undo her buttons.
Oi, wait a
As she unfastens her buttons, beautiful, white skin peeks through.
Her black undergarnt pushes up the soft mounds of flesh beneath it, asserting their existence.
And when our eyes et, she shyly turns her head away.
What the?
What kind of developnt is this?
Does that an she wasnt threatening ?
So many questions are coming to mind, but looking at the tits in front of my eyes, I stop caring either way.
Dont you think my skin is pretty?
Yeah.
Despite being an adventurer, there isnt a single scar on her beautiful skin.
I dont really understand, but right now shes apparently showing her breasts in exchange for the treatnt fee.
Im full of questions, but just knowing that is enough.
It looks so soft. I end up reaching out unconsciously with my hand.
I-Its too soon for that!
But Boyish-chan pulls her body away from my hand and quickly refastens her buttons.
Well, thanks for the treatnt.
Then, with that single line of thanks, she races out of the hospital.
Just when I thought I was being threatened, she showed her tits.
Not to ntion how she bashfully left like she was running away.
What the hell is going on?
Im concerned about it, but no amount of thinking is going to help understand.
About all I know is that the girl didnt pay the treatnt fee, and her underwear was black.
Its no use thinking.
I decide to devote all of the resources in my brain to etching those huge tits she showed onto my mory in vivid detail.
Since then, that Boyish-chan has been coming to the hospital often.
Perhaps since shes an adventurer, as I figured, she seems to get injured frequently.
I dont know whether she doesnt have much money or shes just stingy, but shes mastered the art of price reduction negotiations to slash the treatnt fee by paying with her body instead.
Nevertheless, whenever I do a price reduction negotiation with that Boyish-chan, its witnessed by Eris nearly every ti.
To the point where I wonder if she isnt aiming for that.
And lately, I kinda feel like Eris anger has been getting scarier.
But Boyish-chans discounts have been steadily escalating.
At first it was just looking, but then she started letting touch.
Then touching her beca her pressing herself against .
Every ti Eris gets mad I decide to stop the discounts next ti, but I always end up giving in to the escalated negotiation thods.
At this rate, I get the feeling that sooner or later Eris really will throw out.
I have to beco a diligent employee before much longer.
Alright, that settles it.
I wont accept the next price discount negotiation.
I absolutely wont lose to Boyish-chans seduction.
Taking that determination to heart, I start my work at the hospital again today.
