Episode 25: Village of the Elves (8)
“Heel… to…?”
This is the first time using healing magic on a non-animal person.
No matter how monstrous her mana rod was, her own mana was exceptional.
He didn’t know whether Aira could handle it or not.
In other words, it is a gamble.
Ray smiled sadly.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. You learned so much medicine for people, but is it a gambling game when it really matters?”
Even in the current situation where she is ridiculing herself, her breath is getting weaker.
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withstand her own mana, so using a small amount of mana could have the opposite effect.
In addition, due to the nature of the magic called heal, the quality of mana rather than the amount occupied a larger portion, so it was not a big deal even if the amount was large.
Her mana rod was very large, so at least the amount didn’t matter.
The problem was the quality of her mana and whether she could handle her own mana.
As he made up his mind and concentrated, mana immediately gathered as if responding to his will.
It started gathering mana randomly from the surroundings and inflating it further in the center.
A mana storm of great momentum rushed through the room.
Instead of gathering it gently as usual, it was really sucking up all the mana around it.
In the village, everyone stared at one place at the sudden whirlpool of mana.
“Ma Mana…”
“No way a great race…!”
“At this level, they are definitely them!”
“Ha, but why now… in that place…”
The elves did not dare to approach the terrifyingly intense storm of mana.
Absolutely not kind mana.
If you approached, the mana was sharp enough to slice the skin thinly.
As they gathered in the center, they lost their temper and softened, but the mana that began to gather in the center was still sharp.
They came out of the house one by one and were looking at Aira’s house.
Ray, not knowing what was going on in the village, focused on mana control.
He had to pull as much of his mana as possible to see the maximum effect.
First of all, the premise of what I was thinking of now is that she must be able to withstand her own mana.
“I believe in Ira.”
he said with a small breath.
“Heal!”
All of the mana that had gathered together was absorbed into her skin along with the light.
Since he ignorantly drew all the mana around him, the amount was enormous.
Even after covering all of her skin, half remained.
Controlling the rest of the mana so it wouldn’t scatter, he continued to pump mana into her.
Her body was raised to the surface by the power of mana.
Since this was the first time he had ever collected mana and controlled that mana, he was sweating like rain.
Mana shone brightly, completely hiding her form from view.
A blue light burst out and spread so much that even the elves outside the room could see it.
Pia, who was looking outside, thought of a person in that familiar lump of light.
She immediately kicked off the ground and jumped up a tree.
Before she had time to appreciate the tree house she had never climbed before, she opened the door.
There, as expected, he was sweating while surrounded by light with a familiar face.
I bet you haven’t given up on her yet.
As a heterogeneous person, she also felt the way he worked hard for other races.
Even she, a fellow elf, had given up.
He laid down his colleague’s life at the elder’s words.
As I looked at him concentrating on one spell to the extent that his whole body got wet, a wave of shame came over me.
However, Ray, one of the parties, poured all his energy into mana control to the extent that he did not even know that Pia had entered.
It was because I didn’t know that if I made a mistake and adjusted it incorrectly, the room might turn into fireworks with Aira’s blood.
Besides, he didn’t know if his magic was working well.
Aira’s body was covered with blue light, so she couldn’t see it with the naked eye.
When almost all the mana he had accumulated was poured out, Ray lowered his hands to control the mana.
Then, a huge shockwave hit the room.
Pan-
The sound of waves so strong that it was questionable whether it could be considered Mana, was powerful enough to resonate throughout the elven village.
With the sound, the mana was removed in an instant, and Aira was lying in the same posture as before the treatment.
Even Ray himself doesn’t know what the outcome would have been.
Like I said, it was a gamble.
However, it was an option he chose because he could not cure it and the only possibility to save him was magic.
I was so urgent that I didn’t consider what the impact would be if treatment failed.
He was just frantic about saving the elf in front of him, so he set aside everything else and focused on magic.
“Heo-eok… heo-eok…”
He consumed a lot of mental strength because he collected and controlled a huge amount of mana at the same time.
Just keeping my eyes open was putting a lot of effort into it. Any casual touch here would knock him out.
His tenacity to see the end was preventing him from losing his mind.
And he was able to collapse with a grin at the end of that worry.
Aira, who hadn’t woken up for over twenty years.
she opened her eyes
* * *
When I came to my senses, I felt like I was underwater.
I can’t hear anything, and I can’t feel anything.
I didn’t feel the pain and fatigue of the hell from before.
The feeling of being so comfortable made Ray want to sleep a little longer.
I felt so helpless while submerged in the water.
However, a noise began to be heard in the ears that were supposed to hear nothing.
“Again, I will take care of this human.”
“But Aira-sama… He is the benefactor of the elves, but he is also a human who presumptuously attempted to use Aira-sama’s body.”
“If you ask me to listen, you won’t listen. I’m even annoyed at your heinous behavior. When you guys, elves like me, neglected me for over twenty years, only that human did menial things for me, a different race. Isn’t it funny? In the end, what saved me was not the one who cried out in awe of me, but the one who had pity on me.”
A sad sneer was heard.
Ray thought in peace.
‘Whose voice is it… It’s so pretty…’
The voices couldn’t be heard anymore after the conversation.
I don’t know if it was because I just lost consciousness.
* * *
“Ira!”
Ray raised his upper body.
When I was sleeping, the pleasant feeling on the back of my neck made me lie down a little longer, but it was different now that I was fully awake.
The first thing I thought of after waking up was Aira’s opening of her eyes, but thinking that it might be a hallucination caused by fatigue gave me goosebumps.
However, it was his own ignorance.
Looking down at Ray, she replied with a pleasant smile.
“I am here, human.”
“Ah…”
The moment I saw her bright smile, I felt as if I had been rewarded for a month of hard work.
She wasn’t the one who couldn’t make any facial expressions.
I could see her laughing, crying, angry and embarrassed.
Besides, he gave me an answer.
A topic that he had been chewing on for the past month.
Like her appearance, her voice was also beautiful.
I wonder what kind of vocal cords he has to have a voice that sounds like playing a melody.
Tears welled up in Ray’s eyes as he thought about miscellaneous things.
He was so immersed in joy that he didn’t even notice that tears were flowing from his eyes.
She looked at Ray, who was weeping for her, and hugged him.
“Elf’s tea is originally on the bland side. The flower in the yard is Diher. The picture was so boring that I drew it. And I think it’s wrong to say that it’s messy for a lady…”
Ray sighed and burst into laughter as he watched her do all the answers that day while holding himself.
“You were listening. Oh, and wiping the body…”
“I don’t care because it’s what you did.”
“huh?”
“He said he didn’t care.”
“Yeah…”
There was a moment of awkward silence.
If you think about it, even though you’ve been together for a month, isn’t this the first time you’ve talked to her?
However, it was she who broke the awkwardness.
“…thanks. You were the only one who came to my house until now. If you had given up on me too, I wouldn’t be able to have a conversation like this right now.”
“….”
Lay’s expression as she looked at her slender body and bowed her head in greeting looked extremely cool.
Looking out the window at the sky, Ray shook his head.
“no. Rather, I’m worried that the elves will scold you for your carelessness. ha ha ha.”
It was a joke, but her reaction was different.
A bleak mana flowed around Aira’s body.
“Who dares to treat my important person carelessly? If you have the courage to risk your life, it’s okay to try.”
“…that’s bloody.”
A human who seemed to be about fifteen years old on the outside, he smiled as he spoke plainly to himself as a high elf and treated him so easily.
Ray scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
So, naturally, something came to mind.
A soft touch on the back of your head.
he said with curiosity.
“Oh, come to think of it, what was I cutting?”
“You mean the one you were cutting?”
While saying Ira, she pulled back the blanket and showed her thighs.
You’ll know right away what that means.
Ray couldn’t help but stay still.
Aira, who looked at Ray as if she was enjoying it, said.
“An elf allows a body from the waist down to above the knee to an opponent he approves of.”
“huh?”
“I allow you to touch me.”
