Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 36

First nomination request

***---***

I woke up on the bed in the medical office.

Before, when the same situation happened, I was surprised to see Muell-san sleeping with me, but today I am completely surrounded by eyes.

Whether you look to the right or to the left, you'll see scornful eyes, scornful eyes, scornful eyes, and scornful eyes.

"Well, no matter how many times you say it, Kent is always so rash."

"No, I didn't think Kokubu was so rash."

"Right, right, even the old and new duo didn't go that far."

"But I think Kent is doing his best ..."

After receiving a few words in the order of Muell-san, Kobayashi-san, Sakurai-san, and Manon who defended me a little, the eyes of the three people turned to Manon.

"Huh, that ... Kent is too rash ..."

Yeah, it's okay because you can tell your true feelings, Manon-chan.

"So ... Kent's recovery is faster, not because of blessing magic, but because he uses self-healing magic?"

"Uh ... yes, yes, I'm sorry I lied."

I don't know if it was heard from Manon or Kobayashi-san talked about it, but it seems that Muell-san was told that I can use light attribute magic.

"Hey Kent, in magical training, you can push yourself to the limit, but if you pass out so often, you may break your body."

"Is that so? But I've passed out several times, but ..."

"Ke-n-t ... You, did you pass out more than just the time you passed out in the training ground before? Such a thing is absurd, overdoing it is no good!"

"Uhi ... I'm sorry ..."

Oh, I apologize, but I wonder if the joy that was given to me came out on my face, and the scornful eyes are raining down on me.

Well, this time although Manon is becoming a Yaksha, but ... it looks like horns will start growing ...

"Hmm ... Kent nees a little punishment ..."

"Pu, punishment is it ...?"

I asked while being careful of my mouth that was about to start smiling.

Perhaps it will be done every morning for a week.

"Yes ..."

"Hey? Um, this is ...?"

"It's a medicine that helps restore magical power."

What was presented by Muell-san was like a decoction of medicinal herbs, which was about 3 cm in diameter.

It looks like a giant version of that guy with the trumpet symbol, and if you swallow it whole, you might choke on it.(TN: google ラッパのマーク if you want to see it.)

At the time of being given to me, it smells like Chinese herbal medicine, and althought it seems to be good for the body, it has a slightly dangerous atmosphere.

"How should I take this ..."

"Put it in your mouth, chew it well, taste it, and then swallow it ..."

"Hah ..."

I received the medicine that was being handed to me, but I feel that Muell-san's eyes, which have a stern look, are laughing at me.

Besides, I'm really worried that Manon has a very disgusted expression ...

"Come on, down it fast!"

"Uh ... I understand ..."

I'm sure it's really bad, but I can't refuse it because I worried Muell-san.

After taking a big deep breath, I threw the medicine into my mouth and took the plunge and chewed it.

"Hagaa ... Kaha ..."

"You can't spit it out, chew it, taste it, and reflect on it!"

As soon as I chewed the herbs, the bitterness and astringency exploded in my mouth.

"Uguuu ... Wa, waterr ... waterrr ..."

"Wait a minute ..."

Manon rushes to fetch water, and the other three are laughing while holding their stomachs.

"Ahaha, are you reflecting Kent?"

"Kyahaha, Kokubu is an old man."

"Hahaha, it hurts, I have a stomachache ..."

It's terrible, my mouth is really messed up, but everyone is laughing too much.

"Kent, here, water!"

"Thag yu ... Ngungu ... Puha ... No, it's still bitter ... Oh, that ...?"

Even if you drink the water poured into the cup, the bitterness in your mouth is hardly alleviated.

That was a problem, but suddenly my head became dull and I was very drowsy.

"Ahhh ... somehow ... suddenly sleepy ..."

I just woke up, but I couldn't resist my drowsiness and fell back to bed.

"I'm sorry! I accidently gave him sleeping medicine ..."

I felt like Muell-san said something outrageous, but I couldn't confirm it and fell asleep.

"Kent ... Hey, Kent, get up ..."

"Hmm ... that, here ..."

"Pull yourself together, this is the guild's medical office, do you remember?"

"Ah ... eh? Donovan-san? Good morning."

I don't know how long it's been, but it was Donovan-san who woke me up.

For me, I wanted to have Muell-san, or Manon-chan sleep with me and experience the 'Morning Chun' in the morning ... Donovan-san, you're so powerful in the morning.

"Um, it's still before dawn ... Can you get up?"

"Um ... yes, I'm okay ... or rather, I'm pretty refreshed."

"Yes, that's okay."

"That ... what happened?"

"Um, it's a little urgent, but it's the aforementioned nomination request."

"It's a nomination request ... what should I do?"

"Um ... can you take a little bath and change your clothes first?"

"Ah ... yes, that's okay."

"You can use the guild shower room."

Yesterday, I sparred with Gilik and passed out while sweaty, so I was full of sweat and dust.

I pulled a change of clothes from the shadow storage and washed my body in the shower room of the guild with a refreshing feeling.

"Okay, then come along."

After changing clothes, Donovan-san, who has a magical tool of light, took me along the main street of the city.

It's before the sun rises, so there are no people on the street and stars are twinkling in the sky.

The destination was the large mansion on the boarder with the second sectoin, that is, the lord's mansion.

When I came to work as a gardner's apprentice, I was asked to check the guild card, but today I'm with Donovan-san, so I get a face pass.

"Um ... what should I do?"

"Um, listen to it from Klaus-san inside."

"Hah ..."

Apparently, the requester for the nomination request is Klaus-san, the lord, but I have no idea what the contents are.

When I was told that there was a nomination request, I thought that it woudl be a job to carry luggage to a distant place by taking advantage of shadow storage and shadow movement, but that is not the case.

When I came to work as a gardener, I didn't enter the mansion, but the interior of the lord's mansion is luxurious.

I'm not familiar with architecture, so I'm not sure, but I feel that it's made with good materials and effort.

I walked along the corridor with long-haired carpets, following the guidance of the butler, and was shown to the drawing room.

What was waiting for us there was Klaus-san, who seemed to be indignant.

"Ah ... Kent, you've arrived, I'm sorry to call you so early."

"What happened, Kl, Klaus-san?"

"Well, sit down ..."

Prompted by Klaus-san, I sat down on the sofa, but I felt a tense atmosphere and I was not at all calm.

Besides, there is a smell like Chinese herbs in the mansion.

After moistening his throat with tea brewed by the butler, Klaus-san started talking.

"Kent, you said that the goblins ate your guts, but you were saved, didn't you?"

"Yes, I think I unknowingly used the self-healing magic of the light attribute."

"And you also used a massage at the livre farm to treat others?"

"Why do you know that ..."

At my surprised remark, Klaus-san glanced Donovan-san.

I see, Donovan-san, who does not compromise, investigated it.

"Yes, besides the farm massage, I even cast healing magic on my friends and a child in the doctor's office at Lastock's garrison."

"Well ... can you cure someone with rotten internal organs?"

"I don't know because I haven't tried it ... but if I can save someone, I'll do my best. I couldn't help my friends ..."

"Really ..."

Klaus-san closed his eyes, pondered for a while, then nodded as if making a decision and bowed to me.

"Please, Kent, my daughter ... Help Beatrice!"

"Hey, Klaus-san, raise your head, what do you mean by help her?"

"It's rot disease, Beatrice is sick and can't be helped by the Volzard healers ..."

From the story of the rot disease, when Manon's father died, it seems that the cecum has worsened and is causing peritonitis.

According to Klaus-san, Beatrice has been sick since around dark day of last week.

At first, she thought she had a mild abdominal pain, but since the beginning of this week, her condition has deteriorated.

It seems that medication and treatment by a healer have been continued, but it seems that it is getting worse rather than recovering.

"The healer babaa, says she only has until tomorrow ..."

Klaus-san regretfully hits his fist on his thigh and seems to be desperately killing his emotions.

"Please Kent! If there's any possibility, I'd like to bet on it!"

"Okay, I don't know if it can be cured, but leave it to me."

"I'm sorry ... Please ..."

Guided by Klaus-san, I headed to Beatrice's bedroom on the second floor, but a woman was standing in the hallway.

The woman has a straight posture, as if with an iron core on her back, she has the same red hair as Beatrice, and has pins and rabbit ears on her head.

"Kent, my wife Marianne ..."

"Volzard garrison, Captain Marianne Volzard."

"Ah ... Kent, nice to meet you, Klaus-san is always taking care of me ..."

"I don't need a lengthy greeting, can you really use healing magic?"

"Yes, oh ... but I don't have much treatment experience."

"Is that so, then heal this wound and prove your skill!"

Marianne-san rolled up her left sleeve and slashed her wrist with a knife pulled out from her waist.

Immediately, fresh blood overflows.

"Hey ... what are you doing!"

Quickly, I rushed to Marianne-san and activated healing magic by wrapping the wound with the palms of both hands.

With a faint light, the wound closes like a rewind of a video.

"That ... no chanting ..."

"What are you doing! What would you do if I couldn't use healing magic!"

"I'm sorry ..."

Marianne-san bowed her head slightly, wiped the blood off her arms, and turned her gaze to look at her arm, which is not scarred so much as a hairline.

"Marianne ... are you done?"

"Yes ..."

Marianne-san nodded vigorously at Klaus-san's question and bowed deeply towards me.

"I'm very sorry, please help my daughter, please, please."

I was surprised at her sudden behavior, but if I look closely, Marianne-san seems to be rather haggard.

It may be the result of high emotions that she slashed her wrist.

Guided by Marianne-san, I stepped into Beatrice's room, but I was suddenly overcome by the smell in the room.

It is appropriate to call it an odor of death, and in addition to the odor of Chinese herbs, the odor of rotten protein is mixed, and it is an odor that is likely to cause illness just by smelling it.

"Excuse me, can you open the window and vent the air in the room?"

"... Yes, right away ..."

Marianne-san seems to be a little lost, but she opened the window of the room and started to vent the trapped air.

Beatrice, laid on a large canopy bed, has a paper-white complexion, and her shallow breathing is about to stop.

Even in such a state, many thick blankets were hung, and it seems that she was pressed to breathe.

"I will remove the blankets for treatment, is that okay?"

"Yes ... I'll leave everything to you."

Only Marianne-san is in the room, and Klaus-san seems to be waiting outside the room.

Every time I peel off a blanket, the odor of putrefaction grows stronger.

And when I stripped off the last one, I groaned unintentionally.

"Guu ... terrible ..."

I found that Beatrice's nightwear was wet with sweat and her abdomen was discolored black and blue.

The condition is so terrible that you will want to avert your eyes.

After taking a deep breath to calm my upset feelings, I made up my mind and put my palms on Beatrice's chest and poured in healing magic with all my might.

I don't know the exact principle or situation, but the feeling I get is worse than the child who was in cardiac arrest in Lastock's office.

I will continue to use magic while imagining that my healing magic spreads from the lungs and heart to the whole body through the flow of blood and the lymph node.

Immediately after starting the treatment, the movement of her heart, which tended to be disturbed, regained its strength, but I feel that the healing magic has not spread to her whole body.

I released the hand attached to her chest and slid my hand to massage the abdomen, thighs, calves, and toes to cast healing magic.

From the toes, back to the abdomen, this time from shoulder to hand, from hand to shoulder, this time from the nape of the neck to the head.

Only then did I notice it.

I couldn't tell because it was hidden in her hair, but Beatrice had cute lop ears on her head.

It's an act that I normally would find unreasonable, such a thing as stroking the body of a girl one year younger than me, but at that time I was only thinking about treating her.

With each massage, once, twice, three times, Beatrice's body begins to regain its complexion, and the elasticity that is transmitted through my hands also returns to be healthy.

One hour ... No, I may have been doing treatment for a longer time, but as I continued to concentrate, the passage of time was out of my mind.

4th, 5th ... No, I don't remember how many round trips I made, and it's almost time for my magical power to run out.

Finally, once again, the healing magic was cast from the chest to the whole body.

Beatrice's breathing becamse completely calm, and her pale cheeks are reddish.

Her sleeping expression is as cute as a French doll.

I don't know if it was completely cured, but for the time being, the threat of her life should be gone.

With my head beginning to be stunned due to running out of magic, I was watching Beatrice's expression, and when I thought that her eyelids quivered, her eyes slowly opened.

Perhaps she had been in a coma for a long time, Beatrice seemed to have her gaze wander while checking the situation.

Then, as if finally focused, her eyes opened wide.

"N ... N ..."

"N ...?"

"Nooooooo!"

"Ebushi!"

I got a strong slap from Beatrice and fell on the floor.

That's right, when you regain consciousness, if there's an unknown man touching your chest and you're only in your nightwear, it's natural to blow them away.

My brain was shaken while I was in a state of magical power exhaustion, and I let go of my consciousness.

The next thing I knew I woke up on a bed in a strange room.

Since I came to Volzard for some reason, this pattern has been common ...

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, but what time is it?

I woke up, but I still have some indescribably fatigue.

Well, if you run out of magical power until you collapse every day, it can't be helped if it looks like this.

I mean, the chairman is like this.

Yeah, I have to rescue her quickly.

It's a very comfortable bed, but I'm kind of uncomfortable in a large room.

Let's get up early and return to the small boarding house room.

If you reach out your arms, the narrowness of touching the walls will settle you down.

I got up, but when I was sitting in bed, with a heavy body, the door opened and a maid came in.

"Excuse me, how are you feeling?"

"Ah ... yes, I'm a little tired, but somehow ..."

A woman dressed as The Maid has bright brown hair and white hair only at the tip of her triangular animal ears, probably in her early twenties.

"Then, can you come to the drawing room, the Lord is waiting for you."

"Ah ... yes, I understand."

At that exact time of me answering, My Stomach growled.

"Uhu ... I'll prepare a meal too."

"Yes ... please ..."

Wow ... it's awkward, I was laughed at.

I headed to the drawing room with the guidance of the maid, but the white, thick tail moving in front of me was fluffy, and I really want to fluff it.

I want to fluff her whole body on my cheeks, can't I just rub my cheeks?

"This way ... do you need something else?"

"No, no, nothing ... oh, thank you."

Wow, I'm a completely suspicious child.

As soon as I stepped into the drawing room with a slight dent, my view was obstructed.

"Thank you, truly, I don't know how I can possibly thank you ..."

Marianne-san's voice while hugging me tightly feels moist.

"That ... what is Beatrice's condition?"

"Yes, she says she's okay, but after taking a bath, she was tired and laid down again."

"Yes, I'm glad, and if you feel sick, please tell me anytime."

"Yes, thank you, come on, sit down."

Klaus-san with a relieved expression was waiting on the sofa in the drawing room.

"Thank you very much, Kent, I can't find the words to thank you."

"No, I just did what I could ..."

"Honestly, Marianne and I were half-prepared, but to improve to that extent ... Not even a Bakkenheim healer would be able to do that."

"Even if you say that, I can't explain what I did or how I did it ..."

"Still, Beatrice was definitely saved, I'm really grateful."

"That's right, please raise your head, Klaus-san."

It's really uncomfortable to be bowed to by an adult person so many times.

"That's why Kent, this time it was a nomination request from me, but I was upset and asked for treatment without deciding the reward."

"No, the reward is having myself and my friends taken care of by Volzard ..."

"No, that's no good, especially I, the lord, can't disturb the mechanics of the city. So it's a reward, but what about 500,000 Helts?"

"No, I can't get such a big reward."

"No, if I took her to Bakkenheim and asked for treatment, they would charge three or four times as much, and there was no guarantee that she would be cured. It's too cheap for Beatrice's life."

"But ..."

"Also, if you rescue your friends, you'll have to pay for their living expenses? It's not a problem, take it."

"Oh ... I understand, thank you."

I've heard that nomination requests will proved a large amount of rewards, but I'm surprised that they are so expensive.

The work in the garm potato warehouse is 350 Helts a day, so it's more than 1400 times.

With this treatment alone, I have worked for about 3 years and 8 months.

"And also ... Kent."

"Yes, what is it?"

"What you saw during the treatment, the feel of your hands ... forget everything."

"Huh ...?"

"The appearance of Beatrice you saw, the feel of Beatrice you got, erase everything cleanly from your memory ... and if you touch Beatrice ... do you understand?"

"Well ... yes ..."

That's right, I completely forgot, but the bad old man in front of me was a perfect example of an idiot parent ...

"I asked Marianne, but you seemed to treat her very enthusiastically, but forget about it cleanly, right?"

He probably hasn't slept properly for the past few days, so if he stares at me with bloodshot eyes full of killing intent, I have no choice but to nod.
