Shinka no Mi Chapter 157: What Seiichi Can Do

Chapter 157: What Seiichi Can Do

“Oi, get out of the way! He’s injured!”

“Where’s the stockpile of recovery drugs!?”

“It’s almost gone!”

“I can’t 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 .

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

It’s like she’s showing that I can’t do anything, that was how we walked.

“―――― How’s 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 she’s ridiculing .

In response to that, I――――

“It’s good, it looks like I’ll be useful, too.”

“Wha?”

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

But as soon as she tightens her face, she gazes at 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. There’s no longer a stockpile of recovery drugs, and the 【Recovery Space】 are already full with many injured people. But the enemy won’t wait for us like that, and they’ll launch an attack. We don’t have ti 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 dicinal 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 I’ve been growing it up in parallel with the 『Fruit of Evolution』. Why is that? Iya, since it’s 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 I’m worried about where to use it.

Aside from that, I’m originally a weak-hearted person, so I had prepared a lot of recovery dicine in case anything happens. I’m 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 beco decorations? There’s a recovery drug right in front of …… that’s also called the highest-grade recovery drug, and there were already a lot of legendary items here……”

“A’re? It’s not enough? I still have so 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 co off, I took out the special dicinal herbs and tools, and I activated my skill and made it in an instant. Ah, I don’t need three seconds.

“Yes, just like this. Ah, can you give sothing like a container?”

“What are you!?”

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

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

“Yoyoyoyoyoyoyou’re wrowrowrowrowrong!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“That’s unreasonableeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

I can’t speak properly because you grabbed my shoulder and is shaking it!

The tree looked at like that and laughed.

“Ooooooiiiiiiiii, treeeeeeee! Stop this persoooooooon!”

“Eh? It’s impossible. I’m just a tree. Besides, I’m wondering what will happen to Seiichi-sama if things go on like this. I’m 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 until now rushed out in a hurry.

“Riel, stop stop! He’s going to vomit as it is!”

“What!? Gross!”

“That’s 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, it’s dangerous. That was almost the sa as that tree and it was about to co out of my mouth……

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

Apparently, she’s the sa as the person in black I have seen in the 【Forest of Sealed Magic】, but I never thought she was a woman. I couldn’t understand her gender at that ti just by looking at her, but…… is there any kind of technology that makes it difficult to understand one’s gender?

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

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

“I’m sorry. Riel didn’t have ill will.”

“Fuun. You don’t have to get worried on such a suspicious man.”

“But this recovery drug is his, right? If that’s the case, don’t treat him so badly.”

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

“I didn’t introduce myself at once, right? I’m Suin. For the anti, I’m doing reconnaissance and espionage.”

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

“Yup yup, nice to et you, Seiichi-kun! ……Look, Riel’s not gonna introduce herself!”

“…………I’m Riel. I’m 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 other’s nas, but Seiichi-kun. Can we get these recovery drugs?”

“Yes, of course. That’s why I put it out. As I told Riel-san, but if it’s not enough, I’ll still make so, you know?”

“Thank you! We’re 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 co a little.”

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

“Because it can’t be helped, you know? Besides, we have the highest-grade recovery drug, and his recovery magic might be amazing, too.”

“But, even if you don’t take him all the way to such a place, they can heal with just the recovery drug.”

“That takes too long. We don’t have ti to give each person a drink. Compared to that, it’s only a mont depending on the type of recovery magic.”

“Guh……”

“Uhmm…… what should I do after all?”

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

“Ah, sorry sorry! I’ll explain it to Seiichi-kun. I want Seiichi-kun to use his recovery magic in a place called 【Recovery Space】.”

“Eh? But, you can’t 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-san’s words.

“…… Oi, perhaps it’s your fault.”

“Now now, isn’t that fine. It doesn’t make sense to get angry at a tree, you know?”

“It’s a right argunt, that’s why, I’m even more angry!”

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

“Can I continue talking?”

“Ah, sorry……”

“It’s fine, it’s fine! So, for Seiichi-kun’s question, there’s only one place in this country where magic can be used. And that’s 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. It’s just recovery magic. That’s why in this country, all magicians beco healers.”

“I see……”

It’s a very limited place. However, I think it’s good that only recovery magic is all right and attack magic can’t be used. It will be helpful when you get injured.

Well, that’s fine, but……

“That…… is it okay? I can’t say it to myself, but I think I’m quite suspicious.”

The tree that was listening to my words, looked at as it opened its eyes as if it’s saying “You weren’t aware of it?”. No, I don’t think I’m as suspicious as you, you know?

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

It’s the only place in the country where recovery magic can be used, and I don’t know how it works, but if I were an enemy, there’s a chance I’d ss it up.

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

“I’m not worried about that. Actually, I’ve been looking behind your back since you and Riel were talking at the front gate. “

I knew that. I didn’t say anything because it’s 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 didn’t get any results that you were lying. In fact, you don’t want to act hostile with us, right?”

“Of course!”

The instant I answered that, Suin-san’s eyes flashed blue for a mont. Perhaps that 『Truth Eyes』 was activated.

“Yup, the word you said just now wasn’t a lie. Well, like this, you’re not at least our enemy. So, now that there’s an overwhelming shortage of labor force, I really want you to lend us a hand. Is it okay?”

“If you’re fine with ……”

“Yeah, those words aren’t lies. Then, if you please.”

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

At that ti, the recovery dicine 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 didn’t tell when I t her, but where is this place?”

“Here, is it? This is ――――”

“Suin. Her Majesty didn’t answer. We can’t answer that.”

“…… Because that seems to be so, I can’t seem to teach it to you. Sorry?”

“Haa……”

I don’t think it’s necessary to keep it so secret.

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

“That’s right.”

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

“Ah, that’s okay. There’s only one other way to get to other cities without passing through this capital. It’s not on land, but on the sea.”

“Eh? The, then is the sea outside of this 【Forest of Sealed Magic】?”

“That’s what I said. In addition, there are many ocean currents and reefs in the sea, and a ship won’t get very close easily. That’s why we’re having a hard ti with trade…… Or rather, we’re 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 don’t have to worry about anything other than this city for the ti being. Well, I guess it also leads to the situation where they can’t even ask for help as a result.

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

“Uhmm…… Suin-san? By any chance, is this the 【Recovery Space】……”

“Oh, did you notice? As you may have guessed, there’s a place for recovery in the 【Cagna Castle】, which is the symbol of this country.”

“…… That’s why I didn’t want to bring this guy in recovery space.”

Riel-san says so grumpily, but you certainly don’t 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. I’ll be waiting at the garden there.”

“Eh, you’re not coming?”

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

“I don’t know what Seiichi wants from , but I’m originally just a tree, you know? My job is to photosynthesize and sleep.”

“Crap, I completely forgot because you don’t look like a normal tree any more……”

That’s right, it’s originally a tree. Well, trees don’t move, and don’t talk. As I thought, I was too poisoned.

Besides, certainly, the Tree will only guide to this country, and it shouldn’t have any reason to follow this far.

“…… A’re? Then, when are you going to turn back into a normal tree?”

“Co now? On my mood?”

“Mood!?”

Is that appropriate? …… Well, there is no harm at it except for my ntal fatigue, and it’s fine.

Aside from 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 ti. I can’t say anything because it has a different sensitivity from a human.

Suin-san and the others smiled bitterly, and since it’s only 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 Terviel’s castle, including the shape of each pillar and the paintings on the ceilings, I’ll never get tired of looking at it.

I’ve 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 , and I never get tired of looking here and there like a country bumpkin.

“You…… you’re looking around the castle too much, you’re up to sothing, aren’t you?”

“No no no! That’s not true!”

“Hahaha, Riel. You really care too much. Moreover, Seiichi’s answer now isn’t a lie, and I thinks he’s not really an enemy…… Look, we’ve arrived.”

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

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

There ――――

“Uu…… a……”

“Please…… stay……”

“My eyes…… I can’t 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 isn’t enough in the first place, and it doesn’t 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 can’t be saved with the recovery dicine. However, there’s also a limit to recovery magic. If you lose your limbs, it’ll never co back. They are all heroes injured to protect this country. Seiichi-kun. I don’t 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 it’s 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 didn’t 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, they’ll 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 country’s ergency storage in case sothing 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, they’re 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 don’t like that dark atmosphere. After all, I like people’s expressions when they are happy.

For the ti being, I completed the aid that Suin-san told , 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 ergency storage or as a fertilizer for your warehouse just in case. For the ti being, since they have no expiration date, they can be stored forever.”

Well, they’ve been doing a good job for a long ti, right?

Recently, they’ve been fighting and killing gruesoly, and I’m 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 won’t say that. There’s no elent that they’ll said that to because I help their people. Perfect……!

As I was convinced by myself, I think that sothing 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 scread together.

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

“What are you after all!? A God, or a deity!? That’s right, it must be. Say that it’s true!”

“If that’s the case, then you’re being disrespectful, you knooooooooooow!?”

No, it’s fine because I’m not actually a God, but if I was a god, that statent is really disrespectful ―――― I’ll vomit.

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

Ah, I was released fast ―――― that’s 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!? Shouldn’t you get adapted in this situation!? Otherwise, I’ll 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 seed to be very smart, and the unpleasantness that had been beckoning to social death until a while ago, completely disappeared cleanly that I felt relieved.

Still, she hasn’t stopped grabbing my shoulder and shaking it, and I answered Suin-san’s question with my head wobbling.

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

“I don’t know what that ans!?”

It doesn’t make any sense, but that’s what it ans.

The influence of magic that extends beyond this space, and that my magic worked effectively because of it, I still don’t understand well, but I wonder if this world has given 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 there’s soone who left scars on purpose. I wanted everyone to get well as soon as possible, and I didn’t think about it and activated my magic.”

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

“It’s strange. It’s strange after all. What? What’s going on? What the heck is this guy in front of us? We, we were in a crisis, weren’t we? What? I don’t know what it ans by saying it myself, but what does it an to be 『were』 in past tense?”

“Ri, Riel, calm down. No, it’s not a situation to be calm. But they are really healed, and it’s beyond the scope of my understanding? What? That’s, who is he?”

“I understand! Oi, you bastard! What does this an?!”

“Isn’t that too vague!?”

No matter what that ans, everything I’ve done in front of Riel-san and the others’ eyes were all right……

But if they insist, I’ll probably say sothing like I’ve been feeling strong recently.

“Your normality has run off?”

“What’s normality has run off?!”

No, I don’t want to hear that. But I think so a lot recently, and I can’t help it. Why did it run off? Is it playing tag? Hide and seek? Co back because it isn’t okay for to lose you……

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

“Is it okay? First of all, the recovery drug. A typical recovery drug isn’t 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 ca 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 aren’t laughing.

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

“Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?”

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

“No matter how I think about it, you’re 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 ti, or at most three at the sa ti. Moreover, it only alleviates the wounds of seriously injured people, and there can be no cure.”

“That’s right……well, thanks to Seiichi-kun being out of our common sense, everyone is smiling after that.”

“I’m going to cry because I was called absurd!”

This is enough! If my tears make everyone smile, then I’ll cry!

Looking at the soldiers rejoicing with tears involuntarily, soone ca to the entrance of Recovery space.

“Seiichi-sama, is it over? Well done. There’s 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 ca!?”

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

The tree ca to this place where I’d just been almost ntally beat up.

What do you an by 『Unreasonableness』 and 『Insaneness』 are too hefty to describe !? In the first place, you don’t use 『Unreasonable』 when you describe a person in one word!? I’ve never even heard of that mass! Except for !?

“Well, what are you doing here? Didn’t you wait in the square?”

“I’m here because I’m free.”

“You’re originally just a tree!”

I don’t think you have any spare ti. I think it’s the life of trees to grow roots and perform photosynthesis.

“Well, then, for the ti being, the urgent problem in this city seems to have been cleared up, so let’s 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】.
