The current situation is quickly observed and sorted out in front of the female samurai lying with a fatal wound.

　The injured part of this girl's body is on her side.
　Probably the tip of the dragon's claw had hit her.

　It seems that she didn't even have time to give first aid, she just let the blood flow.

　And the other girl and I don't have any tools or healing skills to treat her.

'(Calm down ...... remember what you did in the labyrinth ...... I'm sure you can do it. ......)

　The [Decomposition] that had just become available in the labyrinth was able to decompose the luminous moss, although its efficiency was low.

　The moss, which is a full-fledged living organism, is.

　I'm expecting 【Degradation】 to be an independent ability that is part of the process of the 【Restoration】 skill.

　Decomposing the repair object and material with magical action, synthesizing the required amount of material, and restoring it to its original shape--

　Normally, the entire process of restoration should be completed in an instant.
　This is the hypothesis that it is decomposition that stops the process in the middle.

　If this is correct, as long as organisms cannot be repaired, they should not be able to be decomposed either.

　But the reality was different. I was able to [decompose] the living organism, the luminous moss, and I was able to [decompose] it.

　Is it simply that my expectations are off, or has my skill made the impossible possible--

'It's one or two. Don't hold it against me if I fail, okay?
"I hate ...... or ............ please, please ......

　Sakura responds weakly.
　He agrees. All that's left is to bet.

　Possibility #1.
　[Restoration] The skill is ineffective and he will die from normal bleeding.

　Possibility No. 2.
　Only the first stage of the [Repair] skill succeeds, and the flank is [disintegrated] and he dies.

　Possibility #3.
　Something unexpected happens and you die anyway.

　Possibility #4.
　The [Repair] skill works ideally on the human body and the wound is [repaired] back to normal.

　It's a laughably bad bet for a minute, but if you let it go, Sakura will definitely die.
　If that's the case, it's much better to do it and regret it than to not do it and regret it.

　I put my hand on Sakura's side and pour all the remaining magic power in my body.

''Activate the skill!　[Restoration] Begin!

　The glow of the overflowing magical power blocked my vision.
　The forceful squeezing of the power made my head wobble and my consciousness fade away.

　The sensation in my fingertips has disappeared.
　I can't even grasp whether the wound is healing or not.
　I can no longer hear Sylvia's voice calling out to Sakura next to me.

''(Not yet ...... have some more ......!)'

　Over the past fifteen years, I've watched many adventurers get seriously injured many times.
　I was unable to do anything for my fellow adventurers who were dying while lamenting that they didn't want to die.

　That was the limit of a useless third-rate adventurer.

　It was frustrating. It was painful. I was miserable.
　I don't want to feel like that again.

'(So, at least for now--!)

　My vision completely white-out and all of my five senses felt nothing.

　And the moment I finished pouring all my magic power into Sakura, my consciousness was cut off by a buzz.










　When I regained consciousness, I found myself on a bed in an unknown inn.

'............'

　From the way his magic power was recovering, it looked like it hadn't even been half a day since the battle with the dragon.

　I didn't feel like getting up at all.
　Mentally and physically, I was completely exhausted.
　And most importantly, the bed was as wonderful as paradise.

　In truth, it would be nothing more than a very conventional innkeeper's bed.
　But compared to the days when I slept huddled on the hard floor of the labyrinth, it was so soft and warm that it brought tears to my eyes.

　This is the best bed in the world for me right now.

　I was just about to fall asleep again when an unknown girl entered my room.

'Ah!　Good, you've found out!

　Correction. It was a girl who looked familiar.
　It's the girl called Sylvia or something like that, who was attacked by a dragon earlier.

　She has hair the color of the tips of wheat, arranged around her shoulders, and is dressed in an easy-to-move outfit like the inn's signboard girl.

　She's in her mid-teens or so.
　She's about half my age.

...... Where am I?
My house: ...... Oh, it's an inn called Wakaba-tei in Spring.
'You carried me in, ...... I'm sorry, but I don't have any money. I'll be out in a minute.
'No!　We don't need the money!　You saved our lives!

　Oh, I see. From Sylvia and the others' point of view, I'm going to be a lifesaver (that's what I mean).

...... It's not that big of a deal. I just lent you a weapon because I knew that if that samurai died, I would be next, so I just lent you a weapon.
But still. Grandma said it's not 'why did you do it' but 'what did you do' that's important.
'If your motives are impure but your actions are good, so be it. ...... Your grandmother says nice things about you.

　When I said that, half in a social manner, Sylvia smiled proudly.

　What an honest girl. She's totally different from the female swordsmen and white wizards in the brave party.
　The rest of the black wizards are ...... now that I think about it, I still don't understand the guy.

　I'm not trying to do anything honorable, but if you want to thank me, I'll gratefully accept your kind words.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the marketplace.

'Yes, ...... what about that samurai called Sakura?　I hope he's not dead.
I'll be fine. Thanks to you, I was making a full recovery!

　Sylvia gingerly clenched both fists as if to get her spirits up.

　She was honestly glad to hear that.
　Even though they've barely met each other for the first time, it would be a dream come true if the person you treated died.

'Uncle, are you by any chance an amazing healer?'
'Uncle ......!　No, well, yeah, ......

　The word "respectful" was so full that it was roughly moving.

　But it was probably justified to be described as such.

　I hadn't eaten for two weeks, and my face was completely haggard.
　Moreover, since I had stopped dressing up in the middle of the day, my hair and beard had grown all over the place.

　It's no wonder they think I'm older than I really am.
　...... Yes, it's probably true.
　I'd like to think that I'm not old enough to be called an old man normally.

I'm a lazy third-rate adventurer. The rank is E for all years. The only skill you can use is 【Restoration】, I believe I said that time as well.
'Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the [restoration] skill is ......'

　That's when my stomach complained of hunger at a terribly loud volume.

　As soon as I remembered I was hungry, my energy for conversation faded quickly.

...... I'm dying.
'Aww!　Are you hungry?!
For half a month, I've only had water for about half a month. ......
'Yeah!　I'll get you something soon!

　Sylvia left the door open and ran out of the room.

　From a short distance away, Sylvia's voice, with a completely different tone of voice than before, could be heard.

''Mother!　I need something to eat!　...... Yeah, no!　It's not that I want to eat it!

　I was reminded of my parents back home when I heard their unreserved talk, which was limited to my people, and I was reminded of my parents--
