I Was a Small Fish When I Reincarnated, but It Seems That I Can Become a Dragon, so I Will Do My Best - Extra Chapter 77
3.27. Heal
Immediately, I look back, and Tatareba’s body is enveloped in a faint green light.
I didn’t understand what was happening for a moment, but I could understand that it wasn’t something bad.
Then Amariaz looked at me.
“Yuuzen-kun, did you use a healing skill!?”
“Huh!? Is this a healing skill!? Eh!? Well, I did think it would be nice if I could use it just now!”
“Keep it up! With this, she might be able to manage!”
“How do I keep this up!?”
I have no idea how to handle a skill that suddenly manifested!?
But, well, I understand that if I don’t do this, Tatareba will be in danger!
Somehow… yeah, I’ll stubbornly make it work!
I think this skill manifested probably because I wished for a healing skill.
Probably just with this, I should be able to freely use this skill.
That’s how skills work, as I’ve been taught by both Amariaz and Uchikage-Ojichan.
I reach out my hand smoothly and focus solely on healing Tatareba.
Then the faint green light slightly intensifies, and the small wounds slowly start to heal.
“Ah, Amariaz. Is she okay now?”
“Yeah. Just like that…”
“What do you call this skill?”
“…With this level of brightness, it’s probably ‘Heal.’ But it’s a bit stronger. It might become ‘High Heal’ eventually.”
“Huh, really…”
I wonder what the difference is.
Well, I can ask for more details later.
For now, let’s focus on this…!
I heal while Amariaz takes care of the wounds.
To prevent further bleeding, Amariaz binds the wounds with bandages and cloth, and then I stop the bleeding completely by healing them.
We do this for all the wounds, and finally, we start working on the armor fragments still embedded in her abdomen.
But it seems like deep wounds are not easy to heal…
Unlike small wounds or slightly larger cuts, the healing speed is very slow.
“Ugh… Nngh…”
“…It turned into ‘High Heal’ pretty quickly. Probably because the mana consumption is immense. Yuuzen-kun, stop immediately if it gets too hard. Because if you collapse, there won’t be anyone to call for help.”
“R-Right…!”
A little longer and it seems like I’ll manage somehow…!
But… I feel a tremendous fatigue creeping in…
I want to stop right away, but if Tatareba’s life depends on it, I have to push myself as much as I can.
That’s normal, and I want to help too.
After continuing the treatment for a while longer, I stop ‘High Heal’ when I’m really close to my limit.
Sweat is pouring out in large amounts, and I’m breathing heavily through my shoulders.
I put my hands on the ground to catch my breath.
Well, running out of mana seems pretty tough…
If my mana completely runs out, it seems like it’ll be really difficult…
I should be careful not to let that happen.
After catching my breath, I look up, and I see Amariaz also taking a deep breath and leaning against the wall.
Unlike me, he didn’t use skills for healing, so I think he was very cautious during the treatment.
But it paid off, and we managed the minimum level of treatment.
Now it depends on Tatareba’s stamina… but we need to bring a doctor quickly.
Without a detailed examination, we won’t know what’s going on…
“Yuuzen-kun, which news do you want to hear first, the good or the bad?”
“The good news first.”
“For now, this guy is okay. While treating her, I checked her condition. She has fractures in two places in her right arm, her left leg, and her right shoulder is dislocated. Other areas seem to be protected by magic. Well, it’s necessary to have her properly examined. But, I’d say she’s out of danger.”
“Oh… phew… That’s a relief… But, there’s bad news too, right?”
“W-What’s the bad news?”
“This guy… is cursed.”
“Huh?”
Saying so, Amariaz points to Tatareba’s abdomen.
Although it’s covered with cloth, there’s a red mark on it… and from there, a creepy black pattern protrudes.
“T-This is… a curse?”
“…It’s the ‘Death Mark.’ A curse skill that guarantees the death of the target after a certain period. The conditions for activating this skill are incredibly severe, and if you’re not careful, you’ll end up dying too.”
“Eh!? T-Then, you can’t say she’s out of danger!”
“She’s out of danger. But being cursed by a skill means a certain death awaits.”
“W-What should we do!”
“We need a ‘dispel’… or a ‘purification’… a skill like that…”
B-But there’s no one who has such a skill, right…?
Neither I nor Amariaz have a skill to lift curses, and Uchikage-Ojichan shouldn’t have it either.
Even my mother… well, is that a skill…?
Yeah, either way, I don’t think she has it…
And, and people who have skills… don’t…
Ah!
“Hime-sama!”
“…It was a Oni who Uchikage-Ojichan used to serve, right? Maybe that person might have it…”
“I’ll go!”
“Huh?”
Without listening to Amariaz trying to stop me, I rushed out of the destroyed house.
