An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 324: Dreaming maiden and reality(Third Party Perspective)

"Nn ... Nnhh ... Here is?"

"Ara, it looks like you woke up. I'll call the doctor."

 A room with a simple interior.

 A woman in simple and functional white clothes, whom has seen the girl waking up, smiles at her and leaves her room.

"Was that a dream? ... Desu."

 Muttering such is Saint Noelle, a girl rescued from a certain country in the Middle East by Fuhito-tachi. Now she is lying in bed in a hospital gown.

 Noelle, while stunned, is at a loss as she doesn't know if being rescued by Fuhito-tachi was a dream or reality.

"No, that wasn't a dream, desu ~ ♡ ."

 However, Noelle gently touches her lips and smiles at the feeling that remains in her mind.

 If a third party had seen it, it would have been very disgusting, but it is fortunate that there is no one other than Noelle in this room.

"Ufufu ... My Yuusha-sama ... was so cool, desu ~ !!"

 Noelle loves Japan so much that even her taste in appearance has been Japanese-ized. Therein, however, Fuhito's looks are composed of favorite elements of the many novels that Noelle has read, and he has the ideal figure of the strongest fantasy world Hero that she thought of.

 It was like a dream to be able to not only talk to someone like that, but to also exchange an adult kiss.

 Moreover, he helped her in her captivity, and even prevented the innocent people of the country that had kidnapped her from being killed. To Noelle, Fuhito is exactly the Yuusha-sama who descended into the real world.

 It certainly wasn't a dream.

 This is because, not to mention the feeling that remains on her lips, she is currently receiving treatment safely.

"This time it happened, desu ~, now I'm going to go to Japan to find Yuusha-sama and marry him ~. You gave me an adult kiss, so you'll take responsibility, right, desu? Mufufu."

 However, in reality, Noelle's dream and reality are ambiguous, and although Fuhito only kissed her to make her drink the Elixir, the fact that she woke up and gave him a Deep Kiss faded into oblivion, she confused what the Hero who looked like Fuhito in her dream did with the actions of Fuhito, and it has been replaced with the memory of being kissed by Fuhito.

 Noelle, who doesn't realize that, has no doubt that if she meets Fuhito, he will definitely marry her.

 With someone who had already confessed to him, and even though there are two people in reserve, she doesn't notice that at all.

 For Fuhito, further confusion awaits him.

-Kon kon!

"Excuse me, what happened!?"

 The one who knocked on the door and entered the room is a woman wearing a white coat with her hair tied back and wearing sharp glasses, who looks like a very capable female doctor.

 She sees Noelle writhing on the bed and thinks she is in pain and stops and runs over and looks at her. Then she sees it.

"Ehehee ~."

"Wh, what is ... that face?"

 Seeing her haggard expression, the female doctor involuntarily retreats and covers her face with her arm as if looking at something unpleasant.

"Huh? Who are you, desu?"

 Noelle, who finally returns from her own little world, asks the female doctor who appears suddenly in front of her.

"I, I'm Natalie, your doctor. It's only for a short while, but my best regards."

"Oh, is that so, desu? My best regards, desu!!"

 Natalie, who had seen the expression on her face earlier, doesn't let her guard down even when Noelle is replying cheerfully, and doesn't throw away the possibility that she is a dangerous person.

"W, well then, let me see the condition of your body, okay? Can you open the button on your gown?"

"Yes, desu."

 In response to the slightly frightened Natalie's instructions, Noelle, without any hesitation, unbuttons her hospital gown.

 Noelle's body appears.

 Her ribs are protruding, and her arms and legs are not dead trees, but they are very thin.

 That, it tells of the harshness of life she had while being kidnapped.

"This is ..."

"What happened, desu?"

"N, no, it's okay."

 Seeing such cruelty, the female doctor involuntarily holds her breath and falls silent. Noelle tilts her head in wonder, but the female doctor shakes her head without saying anything.

"Oh! ... ♡ "

 When the female doctor puts the stethoscope on Noelle, Noelle lets out a sensual voice, but the female doctor ignores her and goes on with her original job.

"You're completely malnourished and overworked. You have to eat well and rest properly. Also, you're in a pretty bad state right now, aren't you? It's better not to meet the man you're in love with until you've fully recovered, don't you think?"

"Eh? Why is that, desu?"

 And, after finishing the examination, Natalie gives Noelle some advice. However, Noelle does not understand the meaning and tilts her head.

 That is as it should be. Noelle doesn't usually look in the mirror, so she hasn't seen her face.

"You can tell if you look in the mirror."

"Understood, desu."

 Noelle opens the mirror handed to her by Natalie and peers at the reflection of herself.

"What the hell is thiiiiiiiiis, desu!?"

 Noelle lets out a scream that is almost unthinkable for a girl, and stiffens.

 As would be natural. Her usual cute face isn't there, and she looks similar to a withered, emaciated mummy.

 It takes a while for Noelle to return to reality due to the shock.
