Volume 1 - CH 29

"Ouch. ...... This is what happens when I have [Pain Dulling]. ...... The impact is too great. But if I go easy on the Hydra and make a mistake, I'm out of luck. ...... It's simple, but it's difficult."

Mars, who was holding a sword that was shattered except for the handle, threw away the useless sword and cared for his right arm. Originally, the sword was used as a buffer to reduce the damage to the body.

The price of great power is a reaction to oneself. It was too strong a force for a human being.

Mars' whole body was filled with the signs of severe muscle pain.

He felt sluggish and heavy.

His clothes were tattered from the impact he had created. If he had any complaints about his power, it was that he was such a commoner.

Lilia and Hazuki, who had been sent flying a bit by the powerful blast created by Mars' blow, got up, their hair shaggy, and looked at Mars in the distance.

There was a shock in them that was not only physical.

――It's too strong.

"M-My ears are burning!　Aaah!"

Aaah!, Aaah!, Hazuki let out, checking her ears.

Since she had used her hands to cover Lilia, Hazuki had no protection other than magic.

Lilia ran over to Mars.

She was worried that he might not be in a proper state.

"Master!"

"Lilia, are you ears okay?"

Lilia felt relieved when Mars worried about her ears with a smile on his face, while she looked at Hazuki, who was oohing and ahhing behind her.

"I-I still have some ringing in my ears ......, but that pervert woman has put her body on the line to help me. ......"

"Good. Did you say thank you?"

"I-I did. ...... I know it's annoying, but... ......"

Lilia said, looking down and blushing a little.

Mars laughed in her face and patted Lilia's head with his safe left hand.

"Good. Thank you is important. ――That door is the treasure room of this dungeon. In other words, we've made it through."

"B-But more importantly, are you okay!?"

Mars's right arm was all red, even though his clothes had popped off and very little time had passed.

From Lilia's point of view, she was more worried about Mars than about the dungeon.

"Oh, ...... that hurts. I didn't break any bones, but the muscles in my arm are fatigued to the limit. I'll be fine in a few days, though. I can't use healing magic. The only thing I'm good at is that "Body strengthening". Full physical specialization."

"I will heal you! [Heal!]"

The warm, fuzzy air covered Mars' arms.

It was as if Lilia's true personality had surfaced, Mars thought.

"Wow, ...... the pain is going down."

"Nnn ...... I'm afraid I don't have much magic left in me. ...... I'm sorry, you're not going to make a full recovery. ......!"

"Don't worry about it. I've already prepared for this. It's not the first time. I'll be fine."

Getting it to move would be more than enough.

No matter how good Mars was at controlling his body, he couldn't move it satisfactorily when his muscles were in shreds.

Because he was worried about Lilia's body, Mars made her stop healing halfway.

Lilia's physical strength seemed to be nearing its limit, including the earlier battle.

Mars, though damaged, still had plenty of time.

"Can you use heal, Hazuki-chan? If you can, you'd better heal him. Unlike me, he might be in real trouble."

"T-That's right! Xerius!"

Hazuki ran towards Xerius, who was nodding off at the far wall.

Mars walked slowly, taking Lilia with him.

――This isn't my fault, is it?　

Mars predicted that Xerius had been rushed by Hydra and slammed into the wall before Mars and the others arrived.

The mold of Xerius, which had been dented into the wall, was still there.

However, Xerius is now in a completely unrelated place, prone and motionless.

The impact of Mars' blow was so great that Xerius, who was in a state where he could not resist, was easily blown away.

"He's alive ......right? I'm sorry ...... I did something wrong. The last time I used it, I was alone, so I was a little sensitive about the amount  ......"

"H-he's breathing. But the injuries are too great. ...... I think He can manage to live with the healing. ......"

Xerius's white armor was caved in and not intact.

It was covered in dirt, blood and mud.

His legs and hands were forcibly bent in strange directions, as if the metal armor had been deformed, and it was painful to see.

It's a tragic sight to behold, no matter how much I hate him.

"It's no use. ...... Let's invite him to the [Treasure House of Dreams]. It's hard to breathe on this floor and it smells bad."

The situation was not good, as Mars had smashed the Hydra to pieces and the poisonous liquid was flying through the air.

He feel like his whole body is covered in poisonous liquid.

"You both better hurry up and change your clothes."

Entering the treasure room, Mars said to Lilia and Hazuki.

The two bodies were left alone for now. He was going to bury them when he got outside.

Xerius's armor was in no condition to be removed, so Mars tore it off with force and left it outside.

The armor stank of sweat and urine, but there was no way around it.

He throws him in the bathroom and asks Hazuki to heal him.

Lilia continued to apply healing to Mars.

"It's amazing! A broken bone can heal this easily!?"

After removing his armor, Xerius' condition was still terrible.

There were several broken ribs, and they had become so bad that you could see from the outside that they had pierced his lungs.

His whole body was swollen and swollen, and there were few places where there was no blood.

As Hazuki healed, the bones moved back into place in a strange way.

"Y-yes, if it's just to connect, right? But the first priority is to repair the internal organs. The limbs come last. They have a lower priority."

"There was no one in my village who could use the healing arts, so ...... I was impressed. I've broken three bones in my life, but it was more physical therapy."

It was not a world with excellent medical technology, and Mars used the knowledge he had gained in the modern world to treat him.

Hazuki continued to heal Xerius for a while, and his condition stabilized.

Mars put Lilia, who was showing signs of exhaustion, to bed first, and watched Xelius in the bathroom with Hazuki.

"I-I'm tired ...... and his life doesn't seem to be in danger for now ...... but I'm a little short of magic power to reach his limbs ......."

"Good work. I've finished conquering the dungeon, so let's stay in the treasury until we're at the edge of our limits. I'm going to make some food, what do you want?"

"Meat! I want meat! Aren't you two hungry from all the leaves you eat?"

Calling vegetables leaves, Hazuki slumped to the floor of the bathroom and squatted down to rub her tired calves with her big toe.

Hazuki was wearing a pair of cute pink lacy panties.

Although Mars had chosen Lilia's underwear with a preoccupation with eroticism, some of them were ordinary, ready-made items.

Lilia, on the contrary, did not like such things and preferred to wear the ones that Mars had chosen.

――After a battle, you get incredibly high. ...... My sex drive is terrible. Even though I'm tired.

Staring at Hazuki's crotch, Mars hardens one part of his tired body.

Noticing his gaze, Hazuki's face flushed without changing her expression, but her legs did not close.

"I'll say goodbye when Z-Zerius wakes up, so can you please have sex with me ......?"

"I-I'll think about it. ...... I'll wash Xerius, and you can rest in bed with Lilia. When he wakes up, I'll at least feed him."

――Don't be tempted if it's just the two of us, this is ...... not exactly just the two of us, but .......

It's just that Lilia's more erotic, so it's more tolerable.

"You ...... are such a handsome guy, but you really have a coarse penis. ...... Don't mind!"

Mars stripped off his clothes from the sleeping Xerius and showered him.

It was then that he saw that Xerius really did have a rough cock.

It's not a world where you can make a woman happy, it's a world where you wonder if you can even function.

――Why am I helping this guy?

The question that suddenly arose pissed Mars off, so Mars finished washing him properly, wiped him properly, dressed him properly, and left him wrapped in a blanket in the center of the treasure room, which was the living room.

The food will be cooked there anyway, so He can keep an eye on it.

While Lilia and Hazuki continued to rest on the bed in the other room, Mars took out the ingredients and cooked alone.

Since Hazuki wanted meat, he was going to use the best quality he could find. He also thought of some vegetables to go with it. Lilia is a vegetable lover.

"Ugh. ......――Hazuki."

Mars heard Xerius let out a pained sounding whimper.

"You left me behind, didn't you, ......?"

――What the hell is this guy talking about?

Mostly, do you think people like a guy who gets angry and points a knife at you ......?

Could it be that if you have a good face, you're still popular ......?

What Xerius was seeing was a happy dream.

A future that could have happened if his personality was sane and he didn't have a sense of frustration that bordered on delusion.

"It smells delicious! When it comes to food, it's meat, meat, meat!"

Hazuki wandered in from the bedroom, guided by the smell.

Lilia seemed to be completely asleep.

"What's he calling you?"

"What? Is Xerius awake?"

"No, he's asleep. He's talking in his sleep, calling out to you, Hazuki-chan. Isn't that it? Maybe he realized he liked you when he left you."

Hazuki makes a loud voice and makes a worried face.

"If he like me after all this time, ...... I-I might have been happy before, but, It's a little uncomfortable right now, but I think it's definitely more comfortable to have ...... sex with Mars-sama!. That fight you just had was super cool, too."

――You didn't see it, did you?

She was slumped over Lilia, so Mars thinks she didn't see him directly.

"I'm going to say goodbye to him. It's the big dicks that I'm most interested in!, I'd like to have that lovey-dovey mating too! It's the kind you do while kissing"

"You pervert……It's a staggering sex drive."

"It's not only that, but I like you, Mars-san. The air of loneliness makes me want to be with you. ...... It may seem strange that Lilia is here. I'm not sure why. ――Because I feel like I'm complete on my own? I can do anything."

Mars did not answer.

He couldn't speak, as if he was choking.

It was true.

Mars had lived two lifetimes hiding in his house alone. It was all he had ever known.

"Ugh ...... this place is ...... I'm dead?"

Looking up at the ceiling, Xerius was sure that he was going to die.

The air was different from the inside of the dungeon where he had been.

"You woke up! You're alive!"

Hazuki walks out in front of Xerius' face as he lies down.

Xerius looked at Hazuki's face and burst into tears.

"Hazuki, you ...... came to help me. I've done so many horrible things to you, and you're going to forgive me? ...... You're the only one who can help me after all."

A grand misunderstanding.

Xerius thought that Hazuki had rushed to his aid, thinking of him.

The beginning was indeed true, but now Hazuki's principle of action has been replaced.

"Uh, yeah ......, but, you know? ――There's something I have to tell you ......"

Filled with guilt, Hazuki begins to speak.

The innocent-looking girl overflows with cruel words that hurt the wounded man even more.
