The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

At last, from the jungle of hell(?) I was finally able to return to the Kingdom of Lingle.

I was poisoned by snakes and injured, but Rose's healing magic cured me of everything. I would not have been able to heal myself like this now.

Thinking about it, I was made to realize once again that Rose's healing magic is truly amazing.

After I returned to the kingdom, I realized that I had spent a very long time in the mountains, even though I had only been in the mountains for about ten days.

Right now, I am taking a blue grizzly bear cub, named "Bulrin", to an old stable near the lifeguard's quarters to heal his wounds with healing magic.

His blue fur is bushy and soft to the touch.

"Hmmm, I think it's a nice name, don't you? Hey, Bulrin."

No, I really think "Bullyn" is a good name.

Taking "bull" and "ri" from "blue grizzly" and "Bullyn" from "blue grizzly", it is a cute name like some local character.

I guess it's at times like this that my sense of style comes out.

I nodded my head and put my hand on his head, and he nodded his head as if he was nodding to my words,

"......... kaput."

He bit my hand with a snap.

...... Well, he seems to be very happy to get my name. Ha-ha-ha, is he bleeding beyond a sweet bite?

The ongoing biting of my hand, Bulrin, has been safely admitted to the kingdom.

I honestly thought I would be kicked out, but Rose told me that monsters who follow humans like Kukuru, the black rabbit, will be granted the right to stay in the kingdom after a few days of observation, as long as they are safe to some extent.

I heard that you have to write a difficult report for that ......, but Rose will take care of that.

I can't really dislike him because I can rely on him at times like this, even though he has only a scary side. .......

"That's that. ......"

"Kyu?"

"It's you, you traitorous ...... rabbit."

"Kyu~"

"...... because there's no point in tilting your pretty little head, is there?"

It's a secret that for a moment I was so taken by his cuteness that I almost forgave him.

Rose's pet "Kukuru" came with me and Bulrin.

Rose tells me that it is a rather rare kind of monster, and its name as a demon is Noir Rabbit.

I have a grudge against this rabbit.

He played with my pure heart. I like the fact that he went to the trouble of pretending to be injured to get close to me ......, though he's too healthy for his master..,

"But it doesn't add up. I thought Rose's pets were ...... dragons and other legendary dangerous creatures, but it's not fair that they're ...... cute!"

"Gua!"

"Ow!　Sorry!　Sorry!" "Bulrin's cute too!"

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!　So don't hit my shin!

Kukuru, who had been looking at me curiously, looks behind me, then squeals and jumps toward the back of the room.

I turn around to see Rose with Kukuru on her shoulder.

"Oh, good boy!"

"Mr. Rose, ......"

"Oh, I finished the report properly. The bear is now the property of the rescue squad.

"...... property, huh?"

Well, I guess you could say that.

This place isn't free for the taking, and we still have to feed Bullyn. We're going to have to get him to work.

With that in mind, I turned to Bulrin and found him with his head in a lump of straw. His blue body seems to be trembling.

Bulllin, you. ....... I don't care how scared you are of Rose, you can't do that.

"Well, that's the end of the story about the bear. I'm here to talk about the son of a b*tc*."

"A failure?"

You mean that snake.

Does "failure" mean ......, literally, or does it mean something else?

"I encountered that monster deep in the forest when I was guided to a place of clean water by that ...... kukuru.

"I see. He was healing his wounds and building up his strength in a place where we couldn't find him ......... but not enough to kill a grand grizzly ......."

"You know, ......"

"What is it?"

"How dangerous was the grand grizzly?　I only know about it from knowledge. ......"

This was my main concern.

I genuinely want to know how dangerous a place I was being thrown into.

Rose crosses her arms uncomfortably at my question.

"Yes. A squadron of this country's best and brightest could not have done this."

"Are you stupid?

What?

"I'm sorry."

I immediately apologized. I should have lost if I retreated here, but I reflexively apologized. ......!

I think about it, I'm not saying I'm great, but I must have done my best, didn't I?

When I casually asked Rose about it, surprisingly her answer was neither abusive nor critical.

"......You passed, or more than passed, this time. You may have failed to defeat him, but you have cornered that failure. You're qualified."

What qualifications?

To stand on the same battlefield as me. You may not have the fundamentals yet, but you've got something different from all the other healing wizards out there.

"What's different?"

"The body's ability to withstand pain, the physicality, and the ......"

Rose puts her fist on my chest.

"Mental toughness, that's what the other two healing wizards under my command couldn't get. You should be proud."

"I'm not sure I'm aware of that. ...... hmm?　Two healing wizards?"

That reminds me, there are two other healing wizards in the medical corps besides Rose.

However, I have never seen them since I was thrown into the Rescue Mission.

"They are weak, so they run a clinic in the city.

"Yeah, so ......"

I envy .......

Those people don't have to go through Rose's training. .......

"Those guys are the emergency rearguard, the other five are to retrieve the wounded, and you and I will be in the vanguard to treat the wounded."

"I'm the vanguard?

Of course you are. You're just like me.

"What at ......?"

We don't have time for this. The Demon Lords will be here soon. They'll probably come after me aggressively to make sure I don't make the same mistake they did last time. That's where you, the hidden gem, come in.

In other words, I may be the trump card ...... against the Demon Lord's army, which is an exaggeration, or I may be more like a tease to fool them.

Can I play such a big role?

In the midst of a fight for life or death, will I be able to maintain a normal state of mind?

Rose, seeing the darkened expression on my face and sensing my feelings, continues to weave her words.

"It's no use worrying about it. But be prepared, there will surely be brave men and women sent out to the battlefield.

"What?

Kazuki, Inukami-senpai.

They're not like me. They're real heroes. It's only natural that they'll have to fight against the Demon Lord's army.

Even if the king stops them from going into battle, the two of them will definitely go to the battlefield.

What about me?

To be honest, I don't want to join the war. But I am more concerned about losing my friends in this world.

But I don't know if I'm stubborn or what, but if the two of us are going to go, I don't like it if I don't go either, since I'm in the same situation. I don't want to be the only one in a safe place while they are trying their best.

I'm just being selfish like a child, but one thing is for sure, I can't turn a blind eye to it.

I look at Rose with a serious expression.

"I don't ...... fight."

"Oh."

And I don't kill my enemies.

"Oh."

"But I will save everyone."

"That's fine, we're a rescue squad, we don't have to kill them either. We save people. We beat up and take the self-sacrificing, death-hungry bastards, snatch the ones about to be killed by the enemy from the side, and let the ones about to die live even if they die. That's what we do. ...... understand?　Newbie. Talk idealistically all you want, but that's what we, the lifeguards, are supposed to do."

I have power.

It's not the power to kill them, but the power to keep them alive. Until now, I have been in limbo, unable to decide my path, but now, at this moment, with his words, I have made up my mind.

The battlefield is a merciless place where people can easily die.

But if my power can be the power to save someone's life in such a place, I will step forward without hesitation.

I raised my voice to respond to her words.

"Yes, Commander!

At this moment, I became a member of the rescue team for the first time.
