Volume 5 Chapter 105

Since he had shown his power by defeating the Invincible Target, Haruto became a guest of honor. Using that status helped him push through some difficulties.

Haruto’s wish seemed to be to enter the imperial capital with his beastman companion, so the person in charge of the checkpoint led him in.

When restrictions are in place regarding entering the county, even the country’s beastmen are affected by the severity of the limitations. However, since Haruto had destroyed the Invincible Target, he wasn’t subjected to the restrictions.

Incidentally in an emergency, if there was a need to escape from the capital, there were almost no restrictions in place.

I started to clean up the destroyed target.

Of course, I couldn’t move the target by myself, so I just cleaned up the scattered debris.

Suddenly, I was reminded of Haruto’s courageous performance from a while ago.

His flowing movements, overwhelming destructive power… Everything was beautiful and so cool. I remembered every move he made, because I had been staring at him (like he had a hole in his head) ensuring he wasn’t using magic to cheat.

We beastmen tend to admire strong people, so maybe I was remembering him being more wonderful than he was when he destroyed the Invincible Target…

Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but fall in love with someone who had shown such overwhelming power and top-notch valor right in front of my eyes.

It’s because I’m a beastman.

If it were possible, I would like to meet him again.

I started to think about it.

──＊＊＊──

The next day, I was off duty, so I went to visit Sally. I wanted to tell her about how Haruto had defeated the Invincible Target right in front of me.

It thought it might have been harsh to tell her such a story when she was no longer able to fight, but beastmen have little qualms about being under the protection of someone else when they are unable to fight themselves.

If one is strong, they will protect the weak, and if they are unable to fight, they will go under the protection of the strong and survive.

Via these means is how the beastmen race had prospered.

That’s why whenever the conversation of someone strong being found is started, no matter when, we get excited. I was thinking that Sally would listen to my story about Haruto and regain her hope for her own life. I was thinking this up until the point I went into her hospital room.

Haruto was in Sally’s hospital room.

“What?” I thought as I stepped inside.

I came to a sudden stop.

I had been holding on to the faint hope that I would be able to see Haruto again and couldn’t believe my wish had come true so quickly.

Haruto looked even better than yesterday.

How could my memory of him make him seem even better?

“You’re the one who showed me around outside the capital yesterday, aren’t you?” Haruto said. “Thanks for that. By the way, is it okay that I left the Invincible Target destroyed like that?”

“Yes, yes! No problem. I appreciate the thoughtfulness!” I said

Haruto just having a conversation with me and remembering me made me happy.

On the other hand, what was Haruto doing in Sally’s hospital room?

“It’s okay if I remove the bandage, right,” Haruto asked.

“Sure, that’s fine,” Sally replied.

Haruto began to remove the bandages from Sally’s arm.

Sally’s right hand and both legs had been destroyed by the demon. I had still not seen what scars she had from those injuries.

The bandages on her arms were all removed.

“Oh, that’s horrible…,” I couldn’t help but say.

Sally’s limbs were a sloppy jumble. It was as if they had been forcibly twisted from their sockets.

The wounds had already been closed by the country’s healers, and although they weren’t bleeding, they were very difficult to look at directly.

When Sally saw her wounds, her face turned pale, and she soon looked away.

Amid this, without any hesitation, Haruto touched Sally’s arm and said, “I’m sure I can handle something like this. The organs don’t seem to be injured.”

“Are you sure it will heal?” Sally asked.

“Don’t worry, you can trust me,” Haruto replied.

What did he mean?! He was going to be able to heal Sally’s injuries?

I wasn’t sure what Haruto had planned.

“Heal,” Haruto commanded.

As if in response to my doubts, Haruto began applying a healing spell to the stump of Sally’s missing right arm. Heal is the lowest level of magic in the healing magical arts.

It’s a simple magic that even some fighting beastmen can use. It is used only to heal small wounds.

I’m certain that was the extent of it.

Something like fibers began stretching from the base of Sally’s missing right hand. The fibers became intricately intertwined and stretched further and further.

After about ten seconds, the clump of fibers took the shape of a hand. To all appearances, it was Sally’s arm from before. There were no seams visible at all.

“Aah, aah, aah!” Sally began to cry, holding her right hand. She couldn’t seem to get the words out.

It was understandable.

The arm that was supposed to be gone, that was supposed to be worthless, was healed. As for me, I could only look at Haruto’s healing magic and be dumbfounded.

It’s just healing!

It’s the lowest level of magic!

I had no idea how Haruto could accomplish such a thing. The only thing I understood was that Haruto had healed my friend’s arm.

“How is it? Can you move it?” Haruto asked Sally unsteadily.

“It’s working,” Sally answered.

Sally has a masculine personality. She is a woman who would never show her weakness to men. However right now, she was crying and sniffling as she moved her right hand.

Just by the fact that he was able to regenerate her lost hand was close to a miracle in this country where there are few healers.

However, Haruto’s miracles did not end there.

“Yep, it looks good. Next, let’s move on to the feet,” Haruto said.

　──＊＊＊──

Thanks to Haruto, my friend Sally was restored to full health.

“Thank you very much!” Sally said.

“Thank you so much for saving my friend,” I told Haruto.

Sally stood next to me, on her own feet. The fact that we were able to stand together again was amazing.

Haruto had given my friend not only a will to live, but also a body where she could stand on the battlefield again.

“It may take some getting used to at first, so take it easy. Well then, I’m going to go heal someone else,” Haruto told Sally.

After saying that, Haruto left Sally’s hospital room.

“Lilia!” Sally yelled and then hugged me.

“Sally, that was great, right?”

“Yes, yes. Thanks again.”

After that, I listened as Sally told me about Haruto and how he had defeated the demons that had attacked the country and lifted the curse from the king.

And with assistance from his colleagues, he had also healed the nation’s soldiers. I was very surprised to hear that he had even revived soldiers who had died yesterday.

Sally had accepted Haruto’s healing without trepidation because she had heard from the military’s top brass about how Haruto could perform miracles.

It would be cruel for me to be the only one surprised when Sally told me about Haruto. Because of that, I told her how Haruto had defeated the Invincible Target right in front of me, without using any magic.

Sally was also surprised.

Cool. We’re even now.
