TEASER CHAPTER 4 PART 11
Arcazam
at midnight.
Nozomu
was brought to Shīna's room in the women's dormitory where she lived.
Although
it was unavoidable, it was bad to bring a male student into a girls' dormitory
at such a time.
She
brought Nozomu while watching her surroundings like a sneaky thief, and it was lucky, she could enter her room
without being found by anyone.
She
puts Nozomu inside her room and makes him sits on her chair, and she
immediately brings water and treatment tools and begins to treat him.
Nozomu
is being treated by her and he doesn't seem to resist as he did when he met her
on the road.
Time
goes by silently, and in the room, only the sound of Shīna moving her hands and
the sound of the healing instruments are heard faintly in the dimly lit room.
"Fuuh.
The wound isn't as deep as I expected. It seems that the blood has stopped, so
disinfection is all that is needed."
Shīna,
who was looking at Nozomu's wounds, said so. Most of his injuries were due to
self-harm during his release of Ability Suppression. There are some wounds that
he got when he was blown off by the Triclopes, but thanks to the potion, his
life is not in danger, and the wounds themselves are already closed at that
time.
"...
You! If you have a potion, please drink it properly! It may be life-threatening
!!"
"…………A……"
Actually,
the potion that Nozomu had was only a little, but there was still a surplus. He
just completely forgot to drink it.
"...
S, sorry ..."
"...
Haa ... did you want to die? If so, why don't you go to the depths of the
forest alone? You'll die as soon as you want it."
Shīna's
tone is getting harsher, but it's reasonable. We can say that her evaluation of
Nozomu is the worst. She had previously thought it was an emergency, but she
knew that Nozomu was in better condition than she expected and wasn't seriously
injured, so her tone and attitude returned to normal.
"You,
why are you wandering around in such a place at such a time and suffering such
an injury? Moreover, it was full of mud. Isn't it
strange? "
Her
doubts are justified. Even if we think about it normally, the appearance of
Nozomu up to that point can be mistaken for a suspicious person.
His
whole body was covered with bloody mud. A tottering and unconscious gait. It
seemed that it would not be strange to be reported to the military police.
“……………… I was inside the forest …………”
"Inside
the forest? Who were you partying with?"
“……………… I'm not teamed up with anyone ………… I'm alone
…………”
"Haa?!
Alone ?! Are you stupid !? What were you thinking !!"
