A Genius Healer Who Can Treat Instantly but Was Banished From Party Considered Doing Nothing - CH 16

Chapter 16 : Night in the Abandoned City [Before].

The night fell on the abandoned city, and the surrounding area was filled with the quiet sound of insects.

Krishna’s blonde hair floated in the light of the lamp above the dining table.

“It’s a very quiet night, Zeneos-shi.”

“Because It’s an abandoned city.”

“Fumu, it looks more cozy than I thought.”

“Make sure you go home when your mission is over, okay?”

Her mission, however, is to capture me, the Mediator. End of mission = Could be the end of my dark healer business, and I have to do something about it.

Krishna looked out the window at the darkness.

“But, isn’t a place like this there are undead?”

“Maybe so, Maybe a Wraith will come out or something.”

“Wraith….?”

“It’s scary isn’t it? Why don’t you just go home?”

“Don’t try to make me leave. Don’t worry, Wraiths are the highest level of undead demons. It’s not like you will meet one every day.”

I see it every day, though.

Instead, She’s peeking out from the ceiling panel in the back.

With Carmilla’s help, I thought about scaring her off, but it would be troublesome if they came back later with the Royal Guard Division to exterminate her.

The most practical solution at the moment is to move out while Krishna is away on her investigation, the annoying thing is that I have become quite attached to this decaying building.

“It’s coarse tea.”

Lily placed a cup of tea next to her.

It looks kind of mushy for me.

“Sorry for the trouble.”

Krishna picked up the cup and brought it to her mouth.

“A wa fu ~u~tsu”

“Eh?”

“No, excuse me. I actually have a cat tongue, it’s my only weakness.”

“You have more weaknesses, don’t you?”

“What do you mean. I only have one weakness.”

“Really…..”

After that, Krishna continues to huff and puff into the cup, fearfully bringing it to her mouth and writhing, ‘afu ~a~u~tsu.’

“Mumu~u……”

“What’s wrong, Lily?”

“Zenos, Lap.”

Lily said discouragedly and climbed up on my lap

She leaned on me and glanced at Krishna.

“Zenos, as usual.”

“As usual…?”

“As…u..su..al.”

She shook her head slightly, and as I stroked her blonde hair, Lily’s ears twitched.

She crossed her arms and raised her chin in a confident manner.

“Fu fun ~tsu.”

I wonder what…… it’s?

I feel like Lily wants to be spoiled by me more than usual.

“She is jealous.”

“Uwa, you startled me”

“What’s wrong, Zenos-shi?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Suddenly, a whisper was heard in my ear, and I couldn’t help but shout.

Is that Carmilla I just heard?

“Kukukuku… That’s right. I was invisible and whispered in your ear.”

It’s really bad for my heart, so please don’t do it.

Carmilla said that she didn’t usually do this because she couldn’t touch things in this state and her vision was poor.

I whispered back.

“Why, Lily’s jealous.”

“You mounting up to a woman who just barged in. She is closer to you than she is, that’s it. You seem to get along well with a demi-human woman, but she can’t approve of a woman firing a magic weapon at you and shamelessly trying to borrow your bed. What’s more, that innocent woman attacks with gap-moe plus she actually has a cat tongue. Her heart is not calm. Now what? What can you do? The battle for women’s self-esteem is about to begin! ~fu ~fu ~fu…..”

“Shut up”

I’ve always wondered why these top class undead are so worldly.

The voice of hihihihi…… is getting smaller and smaller in my ears.

But indeed, Carmilla was right, Lily was very flirty with me today.

“Zenos, the tea’s still hot. Lily will make fu ~ufu~ for you.”

“Zenos, your hair is bouncing. Lily will fix it for you.”

“Zenos, it’s an apple. Lily will feed it to you.”

She seemed to have a mysterious sense of rivalry with her.

However, Krishna, on the other side, was completely unresponsive and seemed to be thinking about something.

“Mu, mumu~u…… I-If things turn out this way… Lily will….use that….”

Finally, stiffly, Lili’s face turned red and brought her hand to Zenos’s cheek.

“Ze…… Zenos, here, here, tonight, Lily won’t let you sleep!”

….

….

….

“Sss…”

Slept.

“She’s sleeping well, this little elf.”

“Y-Yeah, I guess so…….”

A few seconds after she announced that she would not let me sleep, Lily was sleeping soundly on my lap.

Because she’s a children, her night comes early.

I carried her into the bedroom and back to the living room, where Krishna was still thinking.

“What’s wrong?”

“T, That little elf, you said she was caught by a slave trader.”

“That’s right.”

“Do you know the identity of the slaver?”

“No, I don’t know.”

We only made brief contact, then they left.

At that time, I needed to prioritize Lili’s treatment, so I didn’t even try to follow them.

“I see. Apparently, there’s a hotbed of non-exchange child trafficking scams somewhere.”

Before this mission, Krishna said, she was investigating that case.

“So that’s why you shot at me so suddenly.”

“I’m really sorry about that. Just like the Mediator, it was very difficult to catch them, when they were almost caught, they always got away. It’s a reflex to make sure you don’t get away.”

A human with an elf child secretly living in a place that looks like a hideout. Indeed, looking at the situation alone, it might seem quite suspicious.

“I have a short temper, that’s my only weakness.”

“Don’t you have many weaknesses after all?”

“What do you mean. I only have one weakness.”

“Well, whatever you say.”

“I’ve cleaned up every case I could. <Lady of Stone> , is the perfect Royal Guard and a hero to the citizens. If she has any weaknesses, she must be allowed only one at most.”

“….”

I thought I caught another glimpse of another expression behind Krishna’s blank face.

Sssss…..
