Kuishinbo Elf - CH 49

49th Meal Rare Beast Angel

“Everyone!”

I opened the door vigorously. The old door squealed in protest against my rough way of opening the door.

“Vaaa ……”

“Vooo … ….”

However, in the dimly lighted room, the only ones there are a few stinking people.

These stinking people stare at us hatefully. Please don’t stare at me.

“Fukyun … wrong room.”

I gently shut the door. *Bang*1

Where? Where are they! Damn it, I can’t find them! ? Where is everyone~ ! ? Maybe in the trash can … … ?

“Gokigoki”2

Sorry… I was rude. They’re definitely not in there. Where~ is~ everyone~?

“Calm down, junior.”

It is part of humans to get impatient even if they know it is pointless. It can’t be helped to do something meaningless even if you know that it is meaningless.

Towards my actions, Peachy-senpai spoke up.

“Are you ears just decorations? Calm down, use your ears and concentrate on your senses. Your friends will definitely be there.”

“Peachy-senpai …”

“Eltina, it’s fine.”

Folbert gently placed his hand on my trembling shoulder. My mind gradually calms down due to the warmth of his hand.

Folbert, thanks. I had calmed down quite a bit.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on my hearing. With my big ears, I picked up all sorts of sounds. Anything is fine, let me get some information… …

“Fuaaaaaaaa … …”

Is it the voice of some beast? No, its different. This voice! Linda?

“Fueee!?”

“Uwa! ? What’s the matter, Eltina! ?”

When I found out who was the owner of the beast-like voice is, I shouted out.

Li … … Linda-san, what a manly voice … … but with this, I know the place.

*Cough Cough* “Above this floor! Fol, let’s hurry!”

“Alright! Let’s hurry!”

Leaving the stinking people that approached us to Folbert, we hurry ahead. Anyways, I have to group up with everyone as soon as possible!

◆◆◆ Danan ◆◆◆

“What is this place?”

While wandering around, looking for treasures, I reached a place where strange equipments are placed. The scene where a number of bizarre devices that I’ve never seen before being cramped together is like a scene that I’ve seen somewhere.

I don’t think that these guys will understand even if I tell them though. Well, whatever.

The thing that is on the equipment in the center of the room is …… an egg?

“What is this?”

I picked up the LL3 size egg that have flame patterns from the device. Wait, didn’t all the equipments stopped functioning as soon as I picked up the egg? This only gives me a bad feeling.

“Uwa … … I have a bad feeling! Is a long stay impossible?”

It was at the same time when I felt a bad feeling and left the spot. The huge capsule in the back broke and a giant monster clad in black clothes came out.

In a hurry, I hid myself while praying to not get noticed.

Don’t joke around. I wouldn’t even serve as that guy’s opponent. I probably won’t even last three seconds.

In order to not get find, I have to sneakily and slowly move to the shadow of something. I’m glad that I’ve done training. To think that what I’ve learned to escape my dad would be useful here.

Eventually, the door opened and the presence of the monster disappeared. I decided to wait a subtle amount of time to pass before quietly taking actions.

“What’s going on? This facility … …”

While questioning about the existence of this facility and walking around sneakily, I found research paper scattered around the floor. I unconsciously picked them up and looked them over …… isn’t something very important written on this?

“ !? This is bad! It is something big!”

What a thing! To think that the place where we came to lightheartedly was actually a place where a ridiculous incident is occuring. As this isn’t a novel, we don’t have the abilities to resolve this case.

I have to regroup with everyone soon and tell Alphonse-sensei what’s going on!

As I panicked, I had completely forgotten about the monster clad in black clothings that had left the room. Sure enough, wasn’t that guy wandering around in the hallway?

If only it had gone somewhere else already! I can’t not help it, but to complain.

The monster had spotted a prey and raised its gigantic fist to swing it. Of course, that prey is me.

Shit, I guess I’m dead.

◆ ◆ ◆ Hulitia ◆ ◆ ◆

… Its warm. I wonder if I had finally died? Does that mean … … this is heaven?

I slowly opened my eyes. And for some reason, there was Eltina in front of me.

Was Eltina an angel? Un, I don’t feel anything uncomfortable at all.

“Heeeyyyyy, get yourself together! Hi-chan!”

From Eltina’s small hand, a warm light is emitted. I felt that it was the power of life.

The light moved as it was wrapping around my cold and worned-out body. It enters me and unleashes its power without mercy from the inside.

Without a doubt, this shine is the power of her 「Heal」. I am still alive …

“E, El….. “

“I’m glad, I made it in time! Really, I’m really glad… … !”

As Eltina was relieved, tears overflowed from her eyes and eventually, it landed on my cheeks.

My body was completely restored. I can’t even tell where did the zombies ate. As usual, her healing magic surpasses common sense.

“…… Thank you, El.”

“Something like this, isn’t anything! !”

Eltina had suddenly embraced me, her warmth revives my will to live. I want to stay alive, I want to live with Eltina and everyone in the class.

“I’m glad! Hi-chyan ish saveddd!”

Linda, who was pleased with my recovery started crying. If she didn’t muster up her courage and come help us, I would’ve died before Eltina was able to arrive. She is my life benefactor.

“… ….”

On my shoulder, with a *pon*, a large pair of scissor was placed.

He is Hermit crab-kun, a Sea House named by Eltina. For some reason, he had also helped us. I think that because he had came, I was able to be saved.

“… …. Everyone, thank you.”

Tears of gratitude, something that I haven’t had for a long time started to overflow from my eyes. I am sincerely grateful for everyone’s kindness.

◆◆◆ Eltina ◆◆◆

“…… And so, I’m something like an S rank healer.”

“Don’t skip over all the explanations, El!”

Towards Ganzurok’s sharp retort, I cried out a “Fukyun.” As expected of Ganzurok.

“If I speak in detail, the big shots will get mad so I can’t say much.”

“Hmm, is that so … well … whatever.”

Although, I didn’t explain it at all, Ganzurok was able to understand. He surely had guessed it. As expected of a major pillar of the party, he is capable.

“But for Eltina to have such a talent …… no, isn’t that why?”

“Ah, if it is known, she’ll be targeted. With El’s physical abilities, if her magic is sealed, she can’t do anything. That’s why it is kept a secret.”

From the matter with the Garune Dragon, he already know about my circumstances so he is quite calm. On the other hand, it is Linda, who had just played an active part that is excited.

“Aw, awesome! El-chan is awesome! Haha!”

Her face is currently already a face that can only say “wow.” I can’t deny the possibility that in exchange for her power, Linda had gave up on something important.

After finishing the treatment of Hulitia, I moved onto the treatment of everyone else. They seem to be only slightly injured, but even if small scratches are ignored, it can become something irreversible. Especially since this is where the stinky people move around in, a house of germs, I should clean them beautifully with 「Cleanse」.

Since I being an S rank healer is already exposed, I can concentrate on the treatment without worrying about it. I will heal them all at once with wide range healing magic 「Wide Heal」.

Cower in fear, be frightened, be healed while crying “Fukyun, fukyun!”

Without putting these words to my mouth and just concentrate on healing, I think I’m elegant.

“This is … a tremendous healing ability, isn’t it?”

“On the other hand, couldn’t it also be said that this is the only ability it have.”

Folbert was impressed by my skill, but if anything, I would rather have his abilities instead.

It’s because what I adore is a hero, not a healer.

It pains to me always be the one being protected. But, it is also true that I must thank healing magic as it had helped me save my important friends.

“Is this everyone?”

When the situation had calmed down, a low calm voice resound from my small mouth.

Naturally, everyone looked at my face with a surprised expression. The only exceptions are Rioto and Folbert since they know about circumstances. Or rather, it is embarrassing when everyone is staring at me so much.

I concealed my face with my small hands to escape from everyone’s line of sight.

“Hey, don’t waste your time on such a small thing … more importantly … … “

“Momo-senpai, only Danan haven’t been found yet.”

“Hmm.”

To Rioto’s words, Peachy-senpai went deep into thought. Linda seems to be curious about Peachy-senpai’s voice is asking Folbert as he seemed to know the circumstances.

“… Was El-chan speaking just now? Or is it ventriloquism? Hey, hey, tell me, you know about it, right?”

“So, you see… ”

Folbert explained what Peachy-senpai is to everyone in an easy to understand way. Everyone was surprised at first, but was convinced after saying, “Since it is El, it can’t be helped.” I don’t understand them.

At that time, the building suddenly started shaking heavily. Everyone stood up in preparedness  for the tremor.

“What is this tremor! ? It is quite big!”

Eventually, the shaking stopped, but my big ears had picked up the sound of explosion that had probably happened below the building.

“Fukyun, I heard the sound of an explosion below us. It is probably from a magic.”

“Danan? No, he should be bad at fire attribute attack magic.”

Folbert hypothesized that it was the work of Danan, but after recalling that Danan is bad at fire attribute attack magic, he denied it.

In any case, it was decided that it would be faster if we just go see it. Everyone is quick in taking action.

“Either way, what we have to do didn’t change, it is to group up with the last person and quickly escape. Since Hulitia-kun isn’t able to move yet, is it okay if we divide into a rescue unit and an escape unit?”

“It would be tough on the fighting force, but it can’t be helped.That Danan … … when we find you, when we find you, you’ll get spanked for punishment!”

Of course, the execution of the punishment will be by Rioto. I should give him a custom-made bat as a present.

N? Then the punishment would change from spanking to getting beat by a bat … well it is within the margin of error.

“I would like to ask Ganzurok and Folbert to be part of the escape unit, take care of Hulitia. If escape isn’t possible, don’t push yourself. Temporarily evacuate to a safe place, you understand?”

Towards Peachy-senpai’s instruction, Ganzurok and Folbert nodded.

What they have to do is to break through the zombies loitering around at the main entrance and escape. With their fighting abilities and coordination, it isn’t impossible. Maybe, surely, perhaps.

…… It should be fine, right?

“The rescue unit would be Rioto, Linda and Kouhai.”

We nodded. And there is Hermit crab-kun who is clipping his scissors together to appeal that he is also going. As he is too manly, my heart also started burning. I’ll do it!

“I see, you’ll also cooperate. Then, please take care of us, Hermit crab-kun.”

Hermit crab-kun raised his scissors to show his intention of “Leave it to me!”
