The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Yesterday, Rose came back after returning to her dormitory and went out for the night.

Before she left, she gave me the day off. .......

"Why am I going to the castle town ......?"

In my hand is a piece of notepaper and a letter given to me by Rose. The note has a beautiful map drawn on it.

But it attracts no attention. You may be wearing a training suit, but you are not training, and you do not have Bullyn with you.

Is it unusual for a lifeguard to be walking normally?

I've become so poisoned that I'm no longer surprised by that.

I follow the map and walk through the whispers around me. Rose said it wasn't that difficult to find the place, but .......

"Is that it?"

Among the stores, I see a white brick building.

The map points to the place, but is it safe to go in?　It seems to me that it is somewhat difficult to enter.

At any rate, as I headed in the direction of the building, a familiar golden hair and "tail" crossed my vision.

"Hmm?"

A foxy beast girl stares at me from about 10 meters away.

What is it?　This look that seems to see right through my thoughts... .......

"......, let's go, let's go."

Something tells me I shouldn't get involved with that girl.

I walk up to the door and pull it open. The girl is still looking at me, but I enter the store and close the door. I look around the room, trying to calm my racing heart.

The place is spotlessly clean and neat.

It looks like a lifeguard's quarters, I think, and decide to call someone for the time being.

"......Sorry!"

<<< Yes! >>

I heard a lively girl's voice coming from the back of the room, and a few seconds later, a girl appeared in front of me at a run.

She was a little shorter than me, with semi-short blonde hair.

Her hair color gave me a sense of deja vu.

Hello!　Can I help you at the Fleur Clinic?"

"...... Fleur!　I have a letter for you from Rose. ......"

"What!　Really? !"

Fleur was the name of Olga and her sister, the other healers besides Rose and me.

So this must be the clinic that Olga runs.

I hand the letter Rose gave me to the girl in front of me.

"Thank you!　May I ask your name?

My name is Usato, Usato Ken.

"Usato ......?　I remember hearing that name from my brother. ...... Oh, you must be the new guy who works for Mr. Rose!"

Yes, that's right.

You're looking good, by the way.

She seems to have the girl power to fit in in her original world.

Maybe this girl is Ms. Olga's sister.

"I am Ulle Fleur! Let's see, I'm ...... eighteen years old!"

"I'm seventeen ......?"

"You're ......... one year younger than me!"

It is similar to Ms. Olga to say her age after introducing herself.

"And you, Olga?"

"My brother is in the back, examining a patient. Usato, would you like to observe?"

He is examining a patient.

I have never seen any healing magic other than mine and Rose's, so it would be nice to see it. I hope it will be helpful for me.

"Well, I'll take your word for it. ......"

Well, follow me!

Uluru-san leads us to the back of the room. He opens one of the doors a little and calls me with his hand while talking to me in a hushed voice.

Don't raise your voice too much, okay?　It's easy to get distracted. ......"

"Okay."

Uluru urges me to look in through the door.

Through the crack, I see Olga and a child lying on a ...... bed. A mother-like figure is holding the child's hand, so is the child suffering from some kind of illness?

"The child got sick from some strange germs from where he was injured some days ago. ...... symptoms were so severe that the child's mother came to visit us at our clinic.

"I see. ......"

Green magic power gathers in Olga's hands.

A healing light that glows dark green while remaining transparent. I can tell because I use the same magic, that healing magic is a little different from mine, especially the intensity of the magic - not a lot, but the color is deep and dark.

I hold the magic gathered in my hands over the child's abdomen and head. The healing magic spreads like a wave from the two points, covering the child's body. The magic is so smooth, I can't do it myself.

After a few seconds, Olga removes her hand from the child's head and ----

"It's amazing ......"

It healed so fast. The mother bows her head again and again to the child, who, in contrast to his earlier weakened state, appears to be in good health. Olga-san looks troubled, but from my point of view, it was a perfect healing magic. I could never duplicate that kind of delicacy.

After that, Ms. Olga saw the mother and child off and returned to the restaurant, smiling at me with a fresh expression on her face.

"Hello, Usato.

"Hello, Olga-san."

"Yes, yes, I'm glad you're here. Uluru said hello, didn't he?"

"Yes, I did. Usato, since we can't talk standing up, let's sit down and talk.

Uluru urges me to sit in a wooden chair. Olga and Uluru sit across the table from each other.

"You delivered the letter from Rose, didn't you? Thank you."

No, I don't need to thank you so much. I was thinking of coming here once myself.

Actually, I'm glad I came. It was nice to see Olga's healing magic and ...... maybe Rose wanted me to see this?

"Hey, Usato!　How are all the lifesavers doing?"

Tongs?　I don't think they've changed much.

I see... nothing has changed. Well then..."

As I answer her questions with a wry smile, Uluru-san, who asks a lot of questions, as if it is unusual for someone other than a patient to visit the center, says something to Olga-san, who was smiling and watching from the sidelines.

"Usato-kun, why don't you come work here sometime?"

"What?"

Usato, you're busy training with Rose-san!

"Ha-ha-ha, is that so?"

...... hmmm, maybe that's not such a bad idea.

It might be a good idea to learn from Olga's magic. But we have to train. If I ask Rose, will she give me permission for a day or so?

"I'd love to, but I'll have to ask the Commander about that.

"I expect a good answer. It's not easy for the two of us to run a business together either. ......"

"My brother is too poor!"

"Ha-ha-ha, you're so harsh."

You guys are so close. As someone who has no siblings, I envy them. By the way, I heard that Olga-san couldn't keep up with Rose-san's training, I wonder if Uluru-san is the same?

Or maybe she was not so good at healing magic as Olga was?

"Why did you give up your training, Uluru-san?"

"Hmm?　There's also the reason that I couldn't endure Rose's training,......, but the reason I finally decided to give up was..."

Uluru-san points her index finger at Olga-san, who scratches her head with a bitter smile, and sighs with the kind of expression a mother would give to a handful of children.

"I was worried about my brother."

"Ha ha ha ...... no face."

It's not my fault that I thought Uluru-san was like a big sister to me.

After that, we had a few small talks, and before I knew it, it was lunchtime. She invites me to have lunch with her, but I decline, as I don't want to be that much of a help to her.

"See you later, Usato-kun.

"Come again!"

"Yes, thank you very much for today."

Olga and Uluru see me off and I leave the clinic. I've been training and holed up in the mountains for a long time, but sometimes a day off isn't so bad. It's really peaceful.

Maybe it's a sign that something great is about to happen.

I'm not sure.

"Usato-kun. There aren't many kids your age, so I'm looking forward to seeing you again."

"Ha ha ......"

After seeing Mr. Usato off, I pick up the letter from Ms. Rose.

It's so nice of Mr. Rose to send me a letter. There must be something important in it.

I take the letter out of the envelope and open it nervously. It says: ----

"......!!!"

"What's wrong? Big brother."

Oh my God. .......

Are you telling me that you are almost there?

My sister was looking at me with a worried look on her face, as if her impatience was showing on her face. I'm a bad brother to make her anxious. ......

"I guess I'll be seeing you again soon, Usato-kun. ......"

But I can't say that in reality.

I'm not going to say that.

After leaving the clinic, I wandered around the stalls.

Yes, it's not bad to take a walk like this. I've been running all the time, so it's refreshing.

"Maybe I should buy something to eat......, but I don't have any money......."

Let's go back to the lodge for a while.

I turn on my heel and start to walk toward the dormitory when suddenly someone grabs my arm.

"What?

I looked at the hand that grabbed me and saw that the girl I had seen when I entered the clinic, a fox beastman, was there before I knew it.

She stares at me with inorganic eyes, and I almost scream.

The girl grabs my hand and starts to speak in a small voice while looking into my eyes.

".........<

"What? ----?

Instantly, the vision goes dark, as if tinged with noise. What has this girl done?　

With the illusion that my head is being jumbled up, an image appears in my mind.

Plains as far as the eye can see.

Subhumans with weapons.

A figure in pitch-black armor

Kazuki and Inukami-senpai sinking in a pool of blood

"Oh my God!"

I screamed. I shoved the girl's hand away as hard as I could and ran as fast as I could.

The scene was so real.

Feeling nauseous from the "scene that seemed so real," I turned around. There was a beast girl holding her forehead with her hand as if she was writhing in pain.

Your eyes meet hers. ---- The girl moves her mouth and says something.

"You owe ...... me a big favor ...... and I need you to repay ...... it."

I never looked back after that.

When I returned to my lodgings, I wrapped myself in my futon and tried to forget what I had just seen.
