Intermission, Harbinger of Bankruptcy Part 1

"Ugh, nn......."

A small groan leaked into the room, and Nozomu's eyes slowly opened while he was lying on the bed.

The room was dimly lit, and the ceiling was devoid of color. When he looked to the side, a gray curtain jumped into his vision. Perhaps he fainted in the forest and was brought to this room.

(Where in the world is this? And what happened-...... kuh~)

As soon as he tried to get up, a stabbing pain shot through his body, and he fell back on the bed.

Upon closer look, he could see the marks of treatment all over his body, especially on his arms.

In particular, both of his arms were covered with bandages and were firmly fixed so that he could not move them.

From his conditions, it could be assumed that a considerable amount of time had passed.

Nozomu began to move them slowly so as not to put too much strain on his body. Although there was still a dull ache in his body, he slowly, little by little, crept himself up, opened the curtains, and peeked out of the window.

The room Nozomu was currently in was on the second floor of the building, at least that was what he thought, as he looked down he could see people walking down the street.

However, Nozomu felt a sense of discomfort at the sight.

(Huh? That's strange. I can't hear any sound. And there's something wrong with my vision as well......)

The scenery outside the window...... no, everything in his field of vision has turned gray. Moreover, neither the chirping of the birds perched on the roof of the house across the street, nor the hustle and bustle of people passing by on the street, could be heard.

(No way, are these the side effects of that?)

Obvious visual and auditory abnormalities. What came to mind was the release of ability suppression and the direct use of that dragon's power.

Considering that his ears and eyes were normal before he used Tiamat's power, there was no doubt about it.

Nozomu exhaled heavily and looked up to the ceiling.

(I wonder if everyone is safe......)

Considering the circumstances, they must have brought Nozomu here, so it could be fair to assume that they were safe. However, he couldn't shake off the uneasiness that was still deep in his heart as long as he had not seen them.

(...... Shall I go look for them then?)

Although he was in no condition to go out, Nozomu gave in to his impatience and put his hand on the edge of the bed to get up.

At that moment, the door that was visible at the edge of Nozomu's vision was opened, and someone entered the room.

(Ah~......)

In his grayish vision, Nozomu's eyes crossed with those who entered the room.

It was Irisdina and Shina.

They were carrying bandages and gauze in their hands.

When they saw Nozomu getting up, they shouted something in a panic and rushed to his side, forcing him down on the bed.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

When Nozomu groaned as pain shot through his wounds, the two hurriedly removed their hands that were holding him down.

Then Shina turned on her heel and stormed out of the room. She probably went to call everyone else.

Irisdina timidly touched Nozomu's body to check the state of his wounds.

After she finished checking with a worried look on her face, she brought her face close to Nozomu's and started shouting something.

Based on her atmosphere, it was obvious that she was scolding him.

For Nozomu who couldn't hear her voice, she lacked a sense of urgency at the moment, and that's why his cheeks almost loosened up at the thought of her concern for him. Each time he did, Irisdina's eyes became sharper and sharper.

As Irisdina's anger intensified, Nozomu tried to calm her down, but unfortunately, he did not know what she was saying, so he did not know how to respond.

Irisdina was getting more emotional, and Nozomu was helplessly in a panic.

At that moment, multiple presences entered the room.

They were the friends who remained with him in the forest at that time. No one was missing, and no one was seriously injured.

Nozomu was relieved to see them. At least, if his friends were able to get out of that predicament, he thought, the loss of his own senses was not for nothing.

When Norn said something to Irisdina, she pulled away from him with an embarrassed look on her face.

Irisdina glared at Nozomu resentfully while fidgeting, and Nozomu's face heated up as he realized that their faces had just been so close that they were almost able to feel each other's breaths.

Norn raised her hands in a gesture of dismay at the sight of the two of them, then sat down on the round chair beside the bed and examined Nozomu's face.

"........., ............"

Norn tried to speak with Nozomu, but he could only tilt his head, as he was now deaf.

Norn's expression instantly turned grim when he did not answer her question.

Under her penetrating gaze, Nozomu shook his head busily. Although he was not sure if it helped, color gradually returned to his vision, and he could hear the sounds echoing around him.

"I-I'm fine. I guess I was just a little drowsy......"

"I see ...... Let me examine your wounds for now. Everyone, please stay outside."

Norn urged everyone to go outside, but Irisdina and Shina, who were worried about Nozomu, showed dissatisfied expressions.

"Eh? But ......"

"Norn-sensei, if it's just for a medical examination, I don't mind staying here ......"

"I'm going to have to ask him to take off his clothes so that I can examine his wounds. Do you two want to see Nozomu-kun's naked body?"

Nozomu's naked body. As soon as they heard these words, their faces turned red as they looked at each other.

"U~ ......"

"E-Excuse us."

Irisdina and Shina left the room in a hurry, and everyone else followed suit.

After everyone had left the room, Norn faced Nozomu once again. Observing Nozomu, who was puzzled and unsure of what was going on, Norn quickly took off his coat and began examining him.

Irisdina responded to Norn's question in a weak tone of voice.

Aware of their feelings, Norn and Anri gave a small smile to reassure them.

"He fell asleep again right after the examination, but he's okay now. You guys can have a cup of tea and relax until he wakes up."

"Norn, I'm going to go shopping for a bit~~. Feo-kun, please take care of the luggage~~."

"Huh? Why me?"

"Come on, just do it~~"

Anri took Feo's hand and walked out with him.

Norn, with a wry smile toward her best friend's antics, began to prepare cups and tea leaves for the tea party.

"Norn-sensei, let us help you."

"No, as I said, you can take a break ...... well, whatever. Then, can you please boil some water for me?"

Norn smiled at Irisdina and the others as they began to help out on their own.

They took turns watching over Nozomu until he came to his senses. If one were to look closely, one would see dark circles under their eyes, indicating that they had not slept well in the past five days.

They knew that Nozomu's condition had improved, but he was still not completely recovered yet. Therefore, they still could not feel at ease in a real sense.

Norn, having expected this, told them to take a rest.

While preparing tea, their attention was kept focused on the next room, which was separated by a wallboard.
