An A-Ranked Adventurer’s ‘Slow-living’ - 85 Really important things
Looking at the zoac, which slowly took his breath, I noticed a small sign from the bushes nearby.
When I glanced in the direction of the sign I remembered, the bushes fluttered and a figure came out.
“I’m over here because I’m done with this, but are you done?”
He was calling out with a casual touch, but there was a man in his hand that was dragged and treated like luggage.
“I’m done. Flora is safe.”
“… Yeah, it was good.”
When I show the flora leaning against the tree, Kourne exhales as if she was reassured that she had confirmed her safety.
“I’ll cure Aldo’s injury for the time being.”
I let Krunei stand still, approaching with a cane.
“No, take Flora first. Zoak cut my shoulder.”
“… What are you talking about? Aldo is more seriously injured, isn’t he?”
Cournet frowns at me as she bleeds from all over her body, and at Flora, whose shoulders are cut shallow.
“I’m used to this degree of injuries. There’s nothing wrong with my life, and he’ll cure the flora’s wounds quickly. I can’t help feeling sorry. ”
Yes, I think Kurnet’s judgment is right, but that doesn’t help me.
Flora gets caught and injured because of my past.
And finally, I couldn’t forgive me, as the cause of my involvement, had me use the recovery magic first to cure the wound.
Even if you know it’s self-satisfaction.
“Huh, I understand. I’ll cure Flora first, and I’ll cure Aldo! There’s no time to talk about it this way!”
Perhaps I knew my strong intentions, and Kourne was somewhere appalled and walked towards Flora. The man grabbed with his left hand just left messy on the ground.
“……sorry”
“I know Aldo is stubborn in strange places!”
Kurune responds to my words without looking back.
As expected, my adventurer companions. You seem to understand my personality.
Then watch the flora of Kourne leaning against the trees.
Kourne, who is well-versed in healing magic, is well versed in human physique.
I don’t think she can be a real doctor or pharmacist, but she has a great deal of knowledge.
…… I have some knowledge, but I’m still worried about Flora.
“… Is there anything wrong with Flora’s body? I was slashed with a poisoned sword.”
“Cho! Poison !?” Say it fast! Stupid!
When he worries from behind, he looks back and yells at him.
“No, but I gave him an antidote! I mean there’s no aftereffects!”
“Well, what. That’s right. If it’s poison, my detoxifying magic won’t work, so I’m really in a hurry!”
“Sorry Sorry”
I didn’t intend to misunderstand, but I was a bit short of words, I did something wrong with Kourne’s heart.
Kourne, calm down, checks the flora’s complexion and pulse.
I watch it with a mixture of anxiety and regret.
“It looks a little bad, but it looks like you’re getting reddish and it’s okay. I’ll put on detox magic just in case.”
“Thank you”
When I say thanks, Kourne holds his wand and casts a recovery magic spell.
Courne’s staff glowed faintly, and the warm blue glow wrapped the flora.
“The detox is over. Well, the antidote seems to be working properly, but with a little boost.”
That’s enough if the flora gets better sooner.
“Is there any other trauma?”
“Yes, I looked into it, but there seems to be no injuries, especially on the left shoulder.”
I was relieved to hear Kourne’s words.
Flora is not as strong as me.
“I’ll ask for treatment of my left shoulder.”
“I got it”
“Please don’t leave any scars?”
“… I’m not a sick witch who leaves scars with these little scratches.”
Kourne mutters dissatisfied with her and casts a recovery spell.
This time, Kourne’s wand shone in jade and wrapped around Flora’s whole body.
The cut on Flora’s left shoulder closes as if it were being rewound.
And a few seconds later. Flora had fine white skin, as if she had no cuts on her left shoulder.
“… It was good. The wound was healed properly.”
I stroke to check the left shoulder of Flora’s treated Flora.
In his hand, the body temperature, which is a living proof of Flora, was clearly transmitted.
“Then next time is Aldo. Would you be surprised if Flora woke up and Aldo was bloody?”
“Oh, yeah.”
◆
I had Kourne cure my injury and looked down at the man lying on the ground.
“… So Kurune. This man?”
“I was using magical tools to peek at Aldo and Zoak outside of the forest.”
Kurune takes out magical tools like binoculars from his pocket.
It is a magic tool that allows you to see a farther position than ordinary binoculars by looking through a glass-like lens.
It is a magic tool used for important reconnaissance missions, but the available routes are limited and the price is high.
This must be the noble breeder who was our target.
“Such a magic tool is useful, but it’s easy to be noticed by an excellent wizard who can sense a small amount of magic. It’s a mistake to despise my power.”
Kourne boasts while holding magical tools. The excellence was also emphasized.
Well, if it was within the range of ordinary binoculars, I or Kurune would have noticed it.
Unless you’re a top-notch assassin like Zoak, it’s easy to spot the opponent.
I think we brought out such expensive magical tools just because of our surveillance, but there was sharp Kourne in the sense of magic. This man was also a disaster.
“… Let’s get up for the time being”
“Yes, yes”
When I say so, Kourne hits the man with his cane, a little bit stigmatized.
I felt like I was hitting a man with anger that couldn’t be praised.
I will praise you later.
“… Wow! Wow …”
A man who is banged by Kourne with a cane wakes up while frowning with pain.
He thrust his sword into his throat and screamed, “Hey !?”
The man slowly raises his hands as if he saw the situation by looking at the sword pierced into the throat and Kourne holding the cane carelessly.
While he was sweating cold from his forehead, he was observantly watching us, and he was desperately trying to escape from this place.
“Who told you to watch us?”
“… I can’t say that.”
When I ask in a lower voice than usual, the man is frightened but resists verbal.
“Is it dead here?”
“…………”
This time, he uttered a colder voice and pressed his sword against his throat, and the man took his breath and fell silent.
This man’s loyalty to the Lord seems to be higher than expected.
If you’re not there, you’re about to lose your fear and start talking.
For a while, glaring with killing.
I judge that I can’t force the man to utter words, so I drop my sword and release the killing.
I cast words at the guy who breathes out of it.
“Is your Lord Clark-Raymond?”
“―― !?”
At the moment when the consciousness was relaxed, he spoke clearly and was upset.
If you don’t vomit even if you threaten, you have to change the way you attack.
“……I thought so”
Kourne, who saw the man’s reaction, muttered frowning.
Count Clark-Raymond.
He is one of the most important Avalonian nobles who wants to improve their status.
On the outside, he is a gentle noble youth, but behind the scenes he hires an assassin to do his job. In fact, we have heard that political opponents have been climbed out of the air.
He had heard he was about to become a fiancé of Kourne.
It must have been aimed at improving their position in the kingdom.
The man opens his mouth, sweating cold, perhaps thinking of the answer we arrived at.
“… will you kill me?”
“That’s the only thing that happens again. It’s easy to see that Zoac and you’ve gone around here, so we’re going to negotiate properly without fleeing.”
Yes, even if you kill a man here, the next child will come back soon.
This time, Zorak, who was only interested in me, helped me, but next time I’m not sure what kind of madman or ruthless purse will come.
Anyway, I can’t stand being involved with the flora and the whole village, who have nothing to do with it.
“I want you to be the messenger of the Earl.”
“… Aldo, are you negotiating with the kingdom?”
Kourne makes a suspicious voice, as if he immediately understood his intention in my words.
“Oh, I don’t want this to happen again.”
“… Yeah, we don’t want everyone involved, anyway.”
Kourne also shows that the feelings are the same.
I’m glad I liked this place, as Kourne thought the whole village first.
It’s a place for negotiations, though she seems to loosen her expression, so I look down at the man with her expression tightened by her will.
“The at least merit of having me in the bargaining negotiations will be yours with the Earl. Would it be better than dying here?”
The man nodded slowly in front of my cold smile.
◆
When the man disappears in front of us, Kourne comes next to me and looks worried.
“Are you really happy with this? If we negotiate, could we be forced into the kingdom again?”
“I’m not worried. Now I know what’s important and what I want to do, so I won’t let you know.”
If I had a vague goal in the past, if I could push something to the kingdom, but would be strong, I would train. Eventually it would have been a compromise if it was money.
But now I’m clear about what I really value and where I can’t afford. Even if the kingdom is the opponent, I do not intend to break my current life.
That’s for sure.
“… Yeah, Aldo has changed.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it has changed.”
