204-35. "Cheers for good work"





 The encounter with that mysterious giant beast that called itself Skolbanger was like a nightmarish daydream.

''What was that... that giant who called himself Skolbanger...?''

 Currier-san muttered as she was wary of her surroundings.

''I don't know.......I can't even imagine. However, I'm sure that the purpose of the Endnojujutsu Army and the Endnojutsu Army were different.''
Not to mention the fact that Scolbanger had killed the last Ten-Digit Army member.

 Mr. Currier gasps.

Anyway, if he's gone, the first thing we'll do is treat you! As usual, you're being too reckless, Kurohiko!
I'm sorry.

 A classic exchange.

"The one time you attacked me with your tattered left arm, I was completely speechless. You really make me cringe every time... but using your wings as a sheath to supply blood to the demon sword... how dare you come up with an attack like that?

 Currier-san supports my wobbly body and gently holds the back of my head with her hands while she slowly lays me down.
 She holds me in a reclining position.

''As Currier-san says, that's always the case, too. I'd say that attack came to me while I was fighting frantically.......
To be honest, I'm inclined to blame you for your routine recklessness.

 The smile on his face was uncanny.

"Thank you for running to me.

 She slides her hand from around the eye patch and strokes her hair.

'And, goodnight ... Kurohiko.

 Maybe it's because they say things like this to me that I end up working harder than my stature.

''Um, is Currier-san okay?''
Hmm? Ahh ... my physical strength is heavily depleted, but it seems that that giant beast's attack was almost able to be offset by the defense of my new magical armor. It's a little sluggish, but other than that, it's surprisingly okay.

 Good.

 Currier-san makes a thoughtful face.

''Anyway, first of all, this left hand.........Okay.

 Currier-san laid me down on the ground with care for my body, then stood up and, to my surprise, began to tear the hem of my skirt.
 The exposed area of my thighs increases at once.
 I hurriedly missed my gaze, as it was angle-wise dangerous waters.
 Grabbing the long fabric, she sat back down and touched my left hand.

'Touching it, was it all right?'
I've been working with Marie Currier.
I'm an idiot.

 Currier was embarrassed as she closed her eyes and reprimanded him.
 But she quickly returned to a serious expression.

''It's a tough one to sanitize, so we'll need to change it to a new bandage right away. But if it's bare, the wind will stain it.......it should be better than leaving it exposed.

 Currier-san begins wrapping the fabric as a bandage for a quick fix.

''Hmm.......well, if you can afford to be shy under these circumstances, it looks fine.

 Squeak. 

 The knot tightens loosely.

"Y-yes!
I'm sorry. Was that a little strong?
No....
''But this left hand, I wonder if this healing technique will heal properly.......''
'The healing power of the forbidden host is high, so I thought it would be okay... um, Currier-san?

 He seemed somewhat disapproving.

What's wrong with my answer?
I'm the only one who's upset... and I feel like I'm the one who's crazy...
'Ha I think I'm out of it now that the crisis is over I feel like I've had a nightmare in broad daylight...'

 I look around.
 The members of the knights who were able to move slightly were also beginning to check the extent of each other's injuries.
 Or rather, when I looked carefully at the entrance, I saw that the member of the group who should have gone inside to call for help had lost consciousness a little way from the entrance.
 However, I think that member who tried to call for support even though he ran out of energy on the way is admirable.
 From the appearance of the other members who rushed over, they seemed to be breathing.

''Alright ... so this is what the bandage on my left arm looks like.

 Miss Currier finishes the bandage procedure.

'How's that? Do you want to break the curse first?
'For now, I'm going to solve the fifth one first... well, if I pass out like before, could you do the rest? I think there's a high probability that you'll pass out...
'All right - I mean, what do you think? Should I ask for a healing technique first?
Well, he's not going to die... maybe. I've never died before, either.
'That's not evidence! Yeah, I don't know what to do--

 I'm sure you're tired, Curie, too.
 He's only worried about me.

Well I'm not dying! I'll blow away the sound of death with my energy. However.........if I pass out from the load of the forbidden curse, can you force me to wake up before the third round tomorrow?

 I know it's an absurd request.

...Isla's game.
I'm sure you'll win, Ira.

 While saying that, I was glad that I was able to protect her Holy War Festival, no matter the outcome of the second game.
 Because I think the worst thing to do is to cancel it because you can't exert all your strength.

''I mean, the gates to the north and east--goof!

 As I tried to move, pain shot through my body, starting in my left arm.

"Dude, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.

 At that moment, Shana-san came rushing up from the direction I had flown with my forbidden wings with the group members in tow.

''Oi, Kurohiko! The other gates are said to be cleared - but what is this again! The forbidden feathers are tattered, and what's that amount of blood on your left arm? Wait for me! Now, I'm the one--

 It's done.

 I can't tell you how much that means to me.

 Thank you, Shana.

"So, we may have to give you some trouble after you pass out for a while...

 Currier-san smiles.
 It was a soft smile, just as if to say good job.
 She seemed to understand that my words just now were a prelude to breaking the forbidden spell.

''Oh, at least give me plenty of trouble.
..........

 At a time like this this this man is really beautiful.

'I'll be glad to take care of the rest and leave the rest to you.

 A warm hand grabbed my right hand.

 The warmth of this hand was probably the best therapy for me right now.

 It was a relief before I could break the curse.

 Now, and--

 I broke the curse.
