Shut Up! If the Results are Good, That’s All That Matters!

◈

After heading to Kellion’s eastern gate with everyone.

I displayed a nice smile showing my teeth and said.

“Now! The only thing left is to test magical power recovery! I don’t like making people wait, so let’s start right away! Mana Heal Circle!”

Since we were outside and there was no need to use Area this time, I created a wide Mana Heal Circle large enough for about 10 people.

“Installation complete! Come on, hurry up! Magicians, come quickly! A rare opportunity to use magic as much as you want! Become the protagonist right now!”

“…Why does he speak so cheaply?”

“I believe him now, but… just listening to him talk makes my faith waver.”

Some adventurers were still complaining about me.

“Hey! Don’t say such disappointing things! When have I ever lied! Huh?! I’ve only told the truth! Why are people so stingy with their hearts! Anyway, magicians, come quickly!”

About a dozen magicians stood on the Mana Heal Circle.

“Are you all ready? Please use magic to your heart’s content!”

Following my signal, the magicians simultaneously began shooting magic toward the diagonal sky.

“Water Arrow!”

“Fire Blast!”

“Lightning Bolt!”

“Magic Lance!”

Various attack magics such as water, fire, electricity, magical power? and so on were fired into the air.

Of course, not just once.

The magicians continued to use magic, either repeatedly chanting the same spell or using different spells.

And after 10 minutes.

The magicians were still casting spells without rest.

“Amazing! My magical power isn’t depleting at all! Fire! Fire! Fire!”

“This is electrifying! To be able to use magic continuously like this! Then let’s try… Storm Bullet! Waaah! It usually drains all my mana in one go, but it recovered immediately! Kyaaaah!”

“Look at this! My Magic Lance has grown this big! It only grows when continuously injected with magical power, and yet…”

“Idiot, shoot that quickly! Your spell formula can’t handle it, the magic is trembling!”

“Ack! Magic Lance!”

There was almost an accident in the middle.

Anyway, my claim that I could also recover magical power was proven.

I spoke near the magicians.

“How~ is it? I was right, wasn’t I? My recovery magic is awesome, right? See, I told you I could recover magical power too~ Oh, so why don’t you believe people instead of throwing things first~”

“”…””

The magicians stopped their magic and turned to look at me with embarrassed expressions.

“Um, well… yeah. Sorry.”

“It was true. Sorry for not believing you.”

“I regret it. Even though you speak like a cheap salesman, I should have tried to believe you in such a serious situation.”

The last one doesn’t sound like an apology but more like criticism?

Well, anyway!

The most important thing now is that people believe me!

“Guild Masteeeer!”

I moved away from the magicians and approached the very handsome Guild Master who had even cut off his own arm to prove my magical skills.

“How about it! Magical power recovery verified too, right!”

“Hohoho, yes. Truly… amazing. According to records, you learned this magic from a master who is now in seclusion. Perhaps his whereabouts…”

Whoa, I can’t let him look for a master I don’t know.

“He disappeared right after teaching me, saying it was my graduation.”

“I see. So that’s what happened.”

Goodbye, my imaginary master who just got the setting of going into hiding.

“Well, rather than talking about my master whose whereabouts are unknown, let’s talk about the approaching Monster Parade! How about it? Isn’t this enough to overcome the Monster Parade?”

“Certainly so. Jin-sang, how much recovery magic can you use?”

I gave a thumbs up, winked, and said.

“All day if you want! I told you, didn’t I? My magical power is infinite!”

“Very reassuring.”

Hehe, if you were to pick the most dependable adventurer here right now, wouldn’t it be me?

The Guild Master closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them brightly and spoke to the magicians.

“Return now! We’ll go back to the guild and start a strategy meeting incorporating Jin-sang’s magic!”

At the Guild Master’s words, the magicians returned, and we all went back to the Adventurer’s Guild.

“J-Jin-sang.”

On the way back, Luna noona called me.

Feeling good about making the people who didn’t believe me embarrassed and gaining the Guild Master’s trust, I wanted to boast to Luna noona.

“Hehe! Luna noona! Finally, people believe in my abilities!”

“Y-yes! C-congratulations!”

“Hahahaha! This will spread the fame of our strongest combo even further! Isn’t that great, Luna noona!”

“…! Y-yes! You and I are the st-strongest combo!”

“Of course we are!”

Luna noona seemed very happy about the rising fame of our strongest combo, as her tail was twitching eagerly.

Cute!

◈

After that.

At the guild, a strategy meeting centered around ‘ME!’ — let me emphasize again, ‘ME!’ — was held once more.

First, the strategy was simple.

We would set up a formation at the gate where the Monster Parade was attacking, and I would activate Mana Heal Area or Circle! The magicians would wait on standby, and when the monster horde attacked, they would fire magic endlessly!

If any monsters broke through, the vanguard would step forward to deal with the remaining monsters in shifts, and if anyone got injured, a recovery team would be organized to immediately retrieve them.

Finally, when the Ogre Champion appeared, we would fire a massive amount of magic to deplete its health, and if magic wasn’t enough, a raid party consisting of Samurus’s party, Bleks-ssi, and other B-rank adventurers along with elite C-rank adventurers would hunt the Ogre Champion.

And when discussing this last part, I proudly declared.

“Luna-ssi and I also want to join that raid party!”

“Jin-sang?”

“Hey, are you out of your mind? You’re a healer, why jump into a raid.”

The Guild Master looked at me with a questioning gaze, and Samurus frowned as he spoke to me.

Of course, I obviously wouldn’t be of any help if I fought directly.

“I said I would participate. When did I say I would fight together? When fighting the Ogre Champion, everyone will lose stamina and magical power, right? I’m saying I’ll be right there to quickly recover them.”

“Ha, is a raid a joke? With your sluggish movements, it’s impossible, you might end up healing the Ogre Champion instead, so stay out of it.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, Samurus-ssi knows one thing but not the other.”

“What?”

“I clearly said, didn’t I? Luna-ssi will participate with me! I will…! Ah, Luna noona. Come here.”

“Y-yes, Jin-sang!”

When Luna noona approached, I immediately jumped and clung to Luna noona’s back.

The now completely familiar rabbit and shell posture.

Sometimes this position is even more comfortable.

Luna noona’s body is soft and smells good… hehe.

“Like this! While clinging! I’ll cast heal! Luna noona will be able to keep up with the speed! Oh, by the way, I’ve been training to endure Luna noona’s speed in this position, so don’t worry about me flying off!”

I proudly assert that there’s no problem at all!

Samurus was silent for a moment, then crossed his arms and asked me.

“Aren’t you embarrassed by that look?”

“Hey! Speaking of this posture, Luna noona and I! This is the ultimate form that maximizes the skills of the strongest combo! Rabbit and Shell! Where is there room for embarrassment!”

“Just everything. And the name sucks too.”

“Shut up! If the results are good, that’s all that matters! What kind of adventurer only cares about form! That’s a model!”

Damn elf!

Anyway.

On the condition that I would focus solely on recovery, Luna-ssi and I were also added to the Ogre Champion raid party.

And as the strategy meeting ended and the adventurers were about to leave for their respective lodgings.

“Jinsang!”

“Huh? Miriana noona?”

Miriana noona came to the Adventurer’s Guild.

“What brings you here?”

“Hearing that my Jin-sang and Luna are going to fight, how could I just evacuate?”

“Miriana noona…”

The image of Miriana noona, who was the first to pack her bundle and try to escape, melted away.

“But why are you riding on Luna’s back, kid?”

“Ah.”

I had been riding the whole time during the meeting because Samurus’s words were so annoying.

Of course, I cast Stamina Heal consistently so Luna noona wouldn’t get tired!

“I’ll get down now, Luna noona.”

“Y-yes!”

After getting off Luna noona’s back, I asked Miriana noona again.

“Well, setting aside not evacuating, why did you come here?”

“Other adventurers besides Jin-sang are also working hard for this city, right? So…”

Clap clap clap!

As Miriana noona clapped her hands, people holding food that looked delicious emerged from the alley.

“As a citizen of this city, shouldn’t I support you? I can’t fight directly, but I can at least provide delicious food, right?”

“N-noona…!”

A halo shone behind Miriana noona.

“But when did you prepare all these dishes? Haven’t other people evacuated?”

“I persuaded them to cook. If this place falls anyway, they’ll just be monster food while evacuating. Instead, I told them to help a little so that the adventurers protecting this city can fight harder.”

“Wow… noona is amazing.”

I could only express admiration.

“Well, I also told them I wouldn’t forgive them if they didn’t help.”

“Wow… noona, scary.”

I got chills for a moment.

“Hmph, this noona is quite amazing, isn’t she? Don’t I look even more beautiful than usual, Jin-sang? Hohohoho!”

“Noona is always elegant and beautiful, so that feeling is kind of? But my respect has increased tremendously!”

Suddenly, noona stopped laughing, blushed, frowned, and grabbed my cheek.

“…This kid really knows how to make people embarrassed. Oh my~ you cutie.”

Stretcccch!

“Oobubub, don’ pull ma cheegsh.”

Miriana noona released my cheek and shouted with a beautiful smile toward the adventurers.

“Now! Adventurers who are working hard for the city! It may be modest compared to your efforts, but I wanted to help in a small way… so I brought some free delicious food! Please enjoy as much as you want!”

“”Waaaaaaaaah!””

The adventurers all cheered in unison.

It would have been nice if they had cheered like this when I was explaining earlier.
