TENKEN 465 (1238 words)

Relief 

救護

By the time Fran had finished her curry, the talks between Eihwaz and Forrund had just come to an end.

「In other words, the fights brought down the Count's daughter, and the friendly fire had already left to avoid trouble」

「Yea」

「I see.....Well, the damage was  only concentrated on the nobles district, and for a monsters of that level to fight, the damage was rather small, wasn't it?」

Oh, I see? It seems that Forrund is on the same opinion. He nodded at Eihwaz's words.

「There was a lot of damage」

「Hmm. If he were not careful, there will be more damage to the surrounding areas, including the royal capital. But the fact that only a part of the city was leveled, I'd say the damage was less than expected」

I see...... But even so, it was clear that the damage was enormous. There must have been some injured, and many people must have lost their property.

Eihwaz is the one who says these words out loud when he doesn't even know who's around to hear him.

「Huh. I wonder what's going to happen to the royal capital」

Stellia's expression was gloomy.

「Besides, if the Marquis were to revolt, there would be a great deal of confusion..... There's been quite a few injuries and deaths」

When Fran heard Stellia's words, she stood up.

(Master, let's go)

『Where to>』

You're not trying to go into training right now, are you? Even though you're awake, you're not fully recovered yet. If possible, I'd like you to rest a little longer.

(Helping the injured)

『Uuumm.....』

That would be hard work. It requires magic and physical strength. It's not a job for a sick person. But Fran is saying that she wants to help people on her own volition. I can't stop her.

『.....very well. Then let's go to Eliante first』

If there is a place where the wounded are being collected, we can go there. We must also hurry to rescue the injured who have not yet been found, but the guild and the knights will do their best on that.

However, there is one problem.

『What should we do about Gallus huh....』

(Bring him on Urushi's back)

『No, that's not going to happen』

The unconscious Gallus is quite weak. It will be difficult to take him around. So far, we've forced him to evacuate, but we can't force him any further.

「Muh....」

「What's wrong?」

「I want to go help the injured. But I can't take Gallus with me」

「Master Gallus' body is in pretty bad shape. And I wonder what will happen to him in the future......」

Stellia, who had been watching Gallus, sighed in annoyance. In fact, I wonder how much of a crime Gallus will be charged with?　Even though he was manipulated by the power of a magic drugs and a divine sword, he also caused a lot of damage with the pseudo fanatic sword that he seems to have been involved in making.

Will there be excuses? Or will he be declared a felony? The law and political decisions will have a lot to do with it, and I have no idea.

「Regardless of what happens, your request is still valid, and even without it, I won't treat the current Master Gallus disrespectfully. Don't worry, the Adventurer's Guild will protect him well」

「She's right」

Forrund nodded along with her. So did Eihwaz.

「I think it would be a waste of time to punish him in the midst of all this chaos, would it?　It would be better to ingratiate him and make him work for the country」

I see, does that make a point huh?

「And my employers have sent me to protect him. You can trust me. There's no one else who can cure the potion. Leave him to me」

『Fran, I don't trust Eihwaz, but I do trust Forrund and Stellia. Let's let the guild take care of Gallus』

「.....Understood」

Fran seemed convinced. She nodded slightly, staring at Eihwaz.

「Stellia, I'm counting on you」

「Yeah. Take care of everyone there too」

We then headed to Eliante and she showed us where the injured were being housed.

Apparently, there were several different locations. The first aid station for the injured we went to looked like a field hospital.

Parmachist, Magician, and alchemists are running around, desperately healing the injured. Everyone looks exhausted, but they seem to be doing their best by drinking magic recovery potions.

(Master, let's go)

『Yeah, well, we'll have to talk to whoever's in charge first』

(Okay)

If a child suddenly appeared and started using recovery magic, it would only confuse them. It was one of the court doctors who was giving instructions to everyone here.

They seems to be medical specialists with expertise in medicine, recovery magic and alchemy. It is said that all of them, except for the chief physician, go around to rescue the people by order of the king.

The woman who was showing me around called out to the busy court doctor man.

「Excuse meー」

「Hmm, is there any problem?」

「No, this girl here offered to help」

「Hou? You seem to be an adventurer. Can you use recovery magic?」

「Nn」

「That's good to hear! Because right now we need as many healers as possible! How much of the technique you can use?」

「I can make it up to the Greater Heal」

「What? So you're a healing magic user? Re-really?」

「Nn」

「Ooh! Wonderful!」

I was afraid that she would be rejected because he seemed to have a lot of pride, but he accepted us easily. But this is not the time to be worrying about pride now.

「Can you take a look at the most urgent patients first? I'll prepare as many mana potions as I can!」

「Understood」

Then, we flew around to the first aid stations inside and around the capital, healing patients. If it wasn't us, they would have run out of magic, but thanks to the harvest after cannibalizing the Fanatics, my magic power was greatly increased. Fran healed patients at a rate that amazed the court doctors around the city.

In the latter half of it, they were quite worried about us. Apparently, they thought she was overexerting herself by guzzling few mana potions.

If we include the people we rescued from the piles of rubble along the way, we must have healed over 500 people. Many of those who were healed stayed on to help at the relief station, and some even clasped their hands in worship when Fran came back again.

Apparently, she was recognized as a girl from the black cat tribe who devoted herself to healing people. However, she didn't have time to respond to them individually, and could only wave lightly.

And then, she was starting to get tired, but her motivation was still at its peak. She is happy to save everyone and to be thanked.

『Are you sure you don't want to take a little break?』

「I'm fine!」
