Now that Mohumov has defeated all the orcs, we decide to resume our search for Mr. Aug.

''Mofumov, as soon as you finish eating, come back to me!

Coooooooo.

　Huh, and Mohammov raises his hand in reply.
　I'm worried about my weakening life response and I can't wait for the mofo to finish eating.

'Come on, let's go!'

This time I'm going to slay the demon!

"Okay, okay, now try harder.

　He approached close to the life signs that responded to the probe magic.

He's got to be around here. Org!　Where are you?

Please tell me you're in there!

'Oops!　You're alive!

　We all ran through the forest, shouting out to each other.

'Bumoooooooo!'

　Then, as if drawn by the sound of battle, a group of Orcs emerge from deep in the forest.
　Just like the deformed Orcs we fought earlier, these Orcs have arms and lower bodies that take the form of other creatures.
Some of them have different heads, and they can no longer be called orcs.
　I knew this was.....

'Ooh!　This time it's my turn, man!

　Gyro-kun, who was late in the fight earlier, stepped forward, determined not to fall behind this time, and made his way to the orcs.

''Eat me, Meltsword!''

　The blade is dyed blue with flames, and Gyro-kun flashes through the crowd of orcs as he passes.
　And the upper half of the orc flock, cut by Gyro, falls to the ground.
　No blood comes out. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

''Well done, Gyro-kun!

Heh, well, that's what I do for a living.

We don't have a chance.

Easy.

　After fighting off the orc swarm, we search the perimeter for Mr. Aug.

''We should have found him by now, but... Mr. Aug!　Answer me!　It's Lex!

'Hey, Ossan!　Are you alive?

Uh.....

　I called out at the top of my voice, and I heard a groan from behind the bushes.

'Mr. Aug!'

　I shoveled through the bushes and found Mr. Org's bloody form there.

''Oh, oh.......Lex.......it's a strange thing to see you here.......''

Are you okay, Aug...?

Haha, I'm such a clown...

　Mr. Aug's appearance was in a terrible state.
　His entire body was in tatters, with several large holes in his body.
　His arms were almost torn to shreds and he was bleeding profusely.
　To be honest, it was a wonder he was still alive.

"Oh, old man........

Oh, my God...

　Everyone choked up at the devastation.

'Norbu, can you fix it?'

　Mr. Megri asks Mr. Norbu if he can heal Mr. Aug's wounds.

''........impossible. The only thing we can do in this state is to stop the bleeding. It's as good as losing a part of your body with such a large hole in your body. And the recovery magic doesn't have the power to regenerate the missing parts........

Oh no...

　Yes, like Norbu-san said, ordinary recovery magic can't heal Org's body that was damaged to this extent.

''I'm sorry, but I can't save Mr. Org with my own hands...''

Can't you do something about it, man?　Can't you get your brother back on track?

Don't be ridiculous!　No amount of Lex would ever be able to use magic to heal an injury this bad!　Recovery magic isn't like ordinary magic, you know!

'What?　I can fix you, okay?

Ha, ha, ha, don't worry about it. It's my body and I know that I can't get over the hump... yeah.

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

　For some reason, everyone comes over to look at me, rolling their eyes.

''No, Lex-san, I don't think it's possible to heal the missing part of the body, but...''

No, it can be cured. Though it would be more accurate to say that it can be grown by magic.

""Grow!"

Uggh!

　And the fact that he raised his voice so loudly caused Mr. Aug to cry out in pain.

'I'll explain later. We'll treat you first!'

　I go underneath Mr. Org and activate my recovery magic.

'Reproduction Heal!'

　The light of healing envelops Aug's entire body.

'Reproductions ... heels?　I've never heard of that kind of recovery magic...

"Oh, whoa, whoa!　My body feels like it's crawling all over!

　At the same time as Aug-san screams, the holes in his body start to stir.

''Nah, nah, nah!

　Flesh rises from the edge of the wound, and the hole gradually shrinks in size.

It's not a good idea.　What is this, it's disgusting!

I'm reproducing my body with magic. I know it's an unfamiliar sensation, but it won't take long, so please bear with me.

　In fact, the hole in his body was filled with newly created flesh, and the wound was closed in a flash.

''The hole has been filled...?

　Next, the arm that had been on the verge of being torn into a thousand pieces, too, was gradually attached from the point where it was barely connected, and soon connected back together again.

It's a good idea to have a good time.　The wound, the hole and the arm that was on the verge of being torn to shreds are healed too!

Thank goodness the wound wasn't as deep as it looks.

No, no, it was deep enough. I was ready to die, you know?

What is this recovery spell you're using now?　I've never heard of a recovery spell that can create a missing piece of art!

Yeah, that's right!　Healing magic isn't like ordinary magic, is it?　In order to increase its effectiveness, you need to have faith or something else that you don't understand!

　Aug-san was surprised, and Norbu-san and Mina-san excitedly came close to me.

　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you are looking for.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.

'No, you don't need to be religious to use recovery magic. It's only a strain of magic that exerts the effect of recovery. At least the recovery magic I use.

So then........if I train, I'll be able to get my recovery magic too?

Yes, you will.

No.

　I'm not lying.

''Yeah, so what kind of recovery magic is that now?　Even a high-level recovery magic shouldn't be able to regenerate a missing part!

''Yes. Now that's not the type of heal that closes wounds in general and improves natural healing, but the type of recovery magic that makes you create new body parts.

""I'll have them make a new one!"

Yes, as you know, ordinary human healing power cannot heal the missing parts. And general recovery magic uses a method that accelerates the human's natural healing power so that the target's body is not burdened. If the human body is weakened, it's useless to put a burden on it. That's why lost blood can't be recovered either.

I don't know...

And this reproduction heel is a magic that ignores the burden of the target and all that, and thinks about recovering anyway!

""Very disturbing statement!"

What do you mean by... well, I don't know...

　Norbu-san comes to me for details on the reproduction heels with what he says is a fearful look.
　It's not really that scary.

'Yes. When a human being is born, his or her body is created in the belly of the mother. In other words, at this point, humans are building their bodies by creating things that don't exist.

"Mmm-hmm.

Well, that makes you sound like you're making something out of nothing.

　And that's where Mr. Norbu gets a huff.

'Wait, wait, Lex-san!　That means.........

'Yes, I mean, this recovery magic replicates the way humans work when they're born, essentially making the situation the same as if they were recovering by creating a new missing part.

　That's right, instead of repairing the broken parts, we regenerate the body as if we were replacing them with newly made parts. That's what reproduction heels are all about!

""It's too much bullshit!"

What's that forceful logic?　So you're saying that if you're still alive, you can just blow your head off and regenerate it?

Yes, I can.

""Can you do it?

By the way, this magic will also create new blood that you've lost, so you'll be able to move quickly.

'Oh, that's handy. With normal recovery magic, the blood you lose doesn't recover, so if you try to move right away, you'll become anemic.

'But that's all I'm hearing, it's a good thing, I don't see any downside to it.

Yeah.

'Yes, but as a structural flaw in this magic...'

　Gooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　And there, Aug's stomach makes a tremendous noise.

''Woah........what the hell is this, I'm getting desperately hungry.......''

The downside of this is that you'll lose a lot of energy and nutrients rapidly because you've created a new body part, like this one, and you'll lose a lot of belly weight.

""There's a big problem with the ministry!"

　So this magic is the magic of forcing yourself to regenerate the nutrients you take in your normal diet. And the nutrients that are missing are forcibly generated from your own body, so you're going to get hungry rapidly, like now.

Because of this flaw, this type of recovery magic didn't really catch on.

'There's a reason recovery magic has become mainstream now...'

I'm... hungry... and I want... some... food.

　Mr. Aug slumps down on his stomach and crawls over to find food.

'Oops. We need to fix ourselves something to eat right away. Mr. Aug, can you hold out until the town?

I can't do it.

　Oh, God, I'm going to hunt this thing down right away no wait?

Well, I have the orc meat we took down earlier, so why don't we roast it?

'What?　You can eat orcs?

　Mina exclaimed in surprise when she heard that they were going to cook oak meat.

''It's pretty tasty, right?　It's like a quality pork.

　In my previous life and past lives, I often had the opportunity to eat demon meat while I was on duty.
　There's even an episode in the adventures of the great swordsman Reiguard, where he ran out of food and ate some monster meat, and it was surprisingly tasty.

Demon meat is very peculiar, but if you cook it well, you can eat it.

Meghri, have you ever had it?

My mother made it for me as a trainee.

　Meghri was originally Aydra's bodyguard, and her mother seems to be related to the castle, so maybe she's a guardian knight?

'Furthermore, those orcs in this forest have the characteristics of other creatures, so I'm sure you'll find horse meat, squid meat, poultry, and a variety of other foods.

I'd rather not do that, but...

Come on, dear...

　Oh no, I shouldn't be doing this, it's time to get serious, Mr. Aug is at his limit.

'Well then, let's have an orc meat barbecue!



"Noooooooo!

"Squeak!

　And so, having rescued Augu in safety, we held an orc meat party to provide some nourishment.
