“First of all… . Well, I think we made it safely, Prince Blackwood.”

“Whoo, whoo… . Thank you, Saint Serista.”

Ethan somehow succeeded in regaining his lost arm and reattaching it.

I was worried that Ethan’s wound might accidentally heal or that he might not be able to reattach his arm, but fortunately, it wasn’t that bad, so I was really glad.

“Are you sane, Master Ethan? How can you be a swordsman, even a swordsman who uses two swords, and still think of giving up one arm?”

“… Rather, wasn’t it a decision you could make since you’re a swordsman who uses dual swords, Lilith? Anyway, being able to hold a sword on both sides means that even if you don’t have one arm, you can fight with the other arm.”

“… … .”

“… I was joking. Wasn’t it very fun?”

“Thank goodness. If Master Ethan had really meant what he said, I was planning on breaking his other arm.”

“… … .”

“Of course I’m joking too, Master Ethan.”

“Well, yeah… . I knew… .”

In any case, it breaks a person’s heart.

When Ethan went to assist his brother Occam as quickly as possible after being mortally wounded. When I saw Ethan with one shoulder completely separated, I felt like all the blood had drained from my body.

‘It’s a good thing that Ethan’s arm was not far away. I wish I had stepped on it or cut it during the fight and it got damaged somewhere… .’

What would you have done if you had suffered a wound that couldn’t be regenerated simply by sticking it on?

The injury was of a level that could not be acknowledged at all by simply saying that it was fortunate that it was treated safely.

“Ha, please keep your right arm absolutely stable for a while, Prince Blackwood. It doesn’t matter if you hold a spoon, but you know that swinging a sword or an ax is definitely not allowed… ?”

“… I understand, Saint Serista.”

“This is absurd. What on earth did you do to end up hurt more than the hero?”

“… It’s just that I’m weak.”

“The twin bandits who introduced themselves as Ockham attacked me and you, Miss Agnes. Since both of them had expert level skills, it was inevitable that Master Ethan would get hurt during the battle.”

“… There’s no need to treat me like that, Lilith. I just competed one-on-one with an expert and I lost.”

“… … .”

It seems like it bothers me that I lost even though I was competing with the same experts.

Of course, it made no sense to compare Ethan, who became an expert less than a year ago, with the Ockham twins, who must have been at least 4 to 5 years old, just because they were the same expert.

The twins Ethan and Occam were clearly skilled, with a clear difference in their experience as sword experts and the experience of cutting down opponents in actual combat.

… The problem is that I won two one-on-one matches against the other Ockham brothers.

Even though I used knowledge from my previous life to catch my guard down and that I achieved two victories through surprise attacks while using Ethan as bait, it didn’t change the fact that I won and Ethan lost.

He had always been superior to me in sparring swordsmanship, but in actual combat, he lost so vainly that he was quite disappointed with today’s result.

“Ugh, sob… !! Hmm… !!”

After treating the cut wound, which was the biggest wound on his right side, Ethan also treated the wound from an ax that went into his left forearm.

Fortunately, the blade on this side was only halfway through, so treatment on this side was not difficult. Of course, the treatment itself still seemed painful, so I bit my lower lip and moaned.

After Ethan, Cerista was treating, in that order, the guy who had one of his knees completely shattered, Thomas who had one of his arms pierced by a spear, and Natalie who had four fingers on her left hand amputated.

In addition, seeing that Seraphine and Luke also had slight injuries on their legs and hands, we could roughly infer that the heroes had suffered just as much as us.

Even if the three men in the rear guard were not injured, the fact that all the men in the front line could not avoid injury meant that the battle was that fierce. It wasn’t a situation where I could complain that they didn’t come to help me and Ethan.

‘In fact, it might have been fortunate that Ethan and I were here.’

This means that if Ethan and I had not been there, the hero party would have had to deal with not only Huma but also the twin Ockham, and if that had happened, in the worst case scenario, we could have been completely wiped out.

In order for me to live peacefully in this world without any worries, I must never let Gomjoshegigot and the warrior party die. I had to leave the demon lord subjugation to them so I could escape the demon lord subjugation event that I didn’t want.

‘I think I still need to find out a little more about how reality works compared to the game… .’

For now, starting today, we have no choice but to focus on treating Ethan’s injury.

Originally, it was a humanities exploration class that I had only thought of as an experience point event, but now I just hoped that this week would pass as safely as possible.

As I’ve mentioned before, Lilith was in a position to be used as an all-purpose supporting character in 『Luminor Academy』.

The most commonly used type is buff magic, but it can also be used as an auxiliary combatant by equipping a dagger as an auxiliary weapon. Attack magic is not very efficient due to low luck, but it can also be used as a spirit warrior by contracting spirits.

And above all, no matter how unqualified she may have been, she was once qualified to become a saint. As a result, among Lilith’s auxiliary skills, there was recovery magic that ordinary wizards could not learn.

‘I really tried not to use any more auxiliary magic.’

Since attack magic is the advantage for solo adventurers, I wanted to invest my skills only in attack magic if possible. There will be almost no use for auxiliary magic once you graduate from the academy.

However, this was an emergency situation where Ethan had almost died once, and I needed to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible before the humanities class event ended, so I had no choice but to use the 3rd auxiliary magic, “Healing Aura.” After learning it, I had no choice but to use it on Ethan.

And in order to use this healing aura most efficiently, one of the most necessary conditions was to maximize physical contact between users.

“I clearly told you to take off your clothes, Master Ethan.”

… In case you doubt it, I’ll tell you this, this is absolutely not an act to satisfy my selfish desires.

The skill I have called “Healing Aura” is an ability that is more effective in close physical contact with the target, so it was an inevitable choice.

「Healing Aura: Heals injuries to characters around the caster. “The closer the physical distance between the caster and the character, the greater the effect in proportion to the square.”

The effect does not simply increase proportionally, but the recovery effect increases in proportion to the square of the aura.

The significance of the existence of this skill, which can make a significant difference even if there is only a piece of cloth between the caster and the character receiving the effect, was of course due to the service scene of 『Luminor Academy』.

The prerequisite that efficiency increases when physical contact is as close as possible naturally would have been a good excuse to have Lilith and the protagonist naked.

Additionally, if you want to treat the injuries of other female characters, it can also be an excuse to hug multiple women naked at once.

Of course, it may have been an embarrassing and absurd appearance to others, but one effect was certain, and so this “healing aura” had to be used as efficiently as possible to treat Ethan’s injuries.

“Ah, isn’t that a bit like that in a place like this, Lilith? They say the tent is blocking it, but anyway, it’s outside, and there’s even a warrior and other colleagues in the tent right next to it.”

“What on earth are you misunderstanding, Master Ethan? How many times have I already explained that what I do is only healing magic?”

“Oh, I know. I don’t think Lilith’s words themselves were lies, but it’s still a little… .”

After being defeated in battle, perhaps the girlish feelings inside me were awakened. Ethan rarely takes off his clothes despite my persuasion and shows a strangely hesitant attitude.

“It looks like Master Ethan is embarrassed like a man, so I will take off his clothes first.”

-Smurf.

“Release… ?”

I took off my clothes one by one in front of Ethan, thinking that Ethan would be a little less embarrassed if I got naked first.
