If I do it, it’s romance (2)
The ground at the edge of the cliff collapsed and dust rose. The spot where Leonard and Jeniel were standing disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A truly fleeting accident.
“uh······?”
The team members were dumbfounded. I couldn’t say anything as if the accident had stopped.
While everyone blinked, Adelin moved cautiously to the edge of the cliff. I stuck my head out and looked down.
wheee
A height that makes your hamstrings tingle just by looking at it.
Literally a cliff.
gulp-
Contemplating, Adelin turned her head to look at her teammates.
“I-what should I do now…?”
Adelin’s voice trembled uncontrollably. To think that two of the team members who were together fell behind in an instant. Falling down a cliff?
Will he be alive…?
It must have been a few hundred meters.
. . . must have died.
Even Jeniel unnie, who kindly smiled at everything.
Even Professor Leonard, who was always perfect.
All at once…
“Huh…”
Adelin’s eyes turned red.
This was a very harsh declaration for Adelin, who was on her first mission. It was mentally difficult to deal with.
The same goes for other newcomers.
“What, what…”
“what should we do······”
All the attack mages who had been pouring out intermediate attack magic a while ago froze in place. Defense wizard Pierre trembled his lips.
For them, this sudden situation came as a panic rather than a monster attack.
Fortunately, Narsha is still there.
Narsha, who fell into panic for a moment, quickly regained her composure. He ordered his teammates in the hardest possible way.
“Even by ourselves, we will move.”
“Ha, but the team members down there…”
When Adelin couldn’t finish, Pierre helped. At least among the newcomers, the mentality was intact.
“Shouldn’t we go get it?”
“We need to move quickly before he wakes up.”
Narsha pointed at Calydon who was lying down.
In my heart, I wanted to rescue Leonard and Jeniel. But that was not possible.
The one lying face down in front of me is a high-level witch, Calydon.
I’m fainting right now, but I don’t know when I’ll come to my senses. If it woke up in the absence of Leonard, no one could be sure of the outcome.
Furthermore, the place where Leonard and Jeniel crashed was hundreds of meters below. Unless it fell straight from here, it was difficult to pinpoint its location.
There was no guarantee that there were no demons down there.
More than anything… Currently Team 3 has lost the Empire’s best defense mage. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Leonard had blocked the attack just now. Now that he does not exist and the exact location is unknown, it was difficult to find the missing person in many ways.
It was a wise decision to go to the place where I saw it and inform them of this fact.
“Ask for support is the most realistic way.”
Narsha looked down the cliff for a moment.
I was worried, but Leonard would somehow survive.
If it’s his defense magic.
A fall like that would be enough.
“There is no time to fool around.”
Narsha calmly led the team.
Like Leonard, Pierre was put on the first line, and attack mages were placed behind him. Under her leadership, the 3 teams moved back to their main unit.
The atmosphere has changed 180 degrees from just a few minutes ago.
The team members didn’t laugh anymore hahahaha. We did not admire the view of Mount Hernis, nor did we poke each other in the back.
I just felt that this was a real battle.
＊＊＊
kaaaa – caaa
The sound of birds more violent than at the beginning of the mountain. I opened my eyes to the sunlight pouring through the leaves.
“eww······”
The impact of the fall made her whole body tremble. I ended up getting wrecked. I thought Magi had completely disappeared and prevented the attack.
I never thought Calydon would charge in the follow-up.
Because of that, he fell down the cliff and was able to save his life by manifesting a barrier.
The barrier that protected me and Jeniel during the fall.
As a result, the surroundings became a mess.
A crater was created as if a meteorite had fallen, and unlike the forested surroundings, only the place where I was lying was dirty and muddy.
I’m lying in a hollow in the ground
Since we fell together, Jeniel must be nearby.
just as expected.
“·······”
When I turned my head, I saw Jeniel lying on his back. Her graceful curves caught the eye.
I didn’t know… but looking at it like this, I’m in pretty good shape.
Not as much as Narsha.
It was the time when I was staring blankly.
“oh!”
Jeniel suddenly screamed. He gripped his ankle and complained of pain.
“Aww…”
A snake appeared afterwards.
First, the barrier was activated to trap the snake. Then he got up and checked Jeniel’s condition.
“what’s the matter. Jeniel?”
“Eh… it hurts.”
Jeniel pursed his lips and pointed at his right foot. It was an unusually cute look. Normally, I would have been fascinated as it was, but it wasn’t like that now.
“Wait a moment.”
I calmly took off Jeniel’s shoes and socks. There were two red dots on the white ankles. Again, it was a snake bite.
Then the type of snake is important.
I reached out and pulled the barrier. He carefully inspected the snake trapped inside.
Colorful pattern in green and black.
The head of an inverted triangle.
It was a poisonous snake even by the looks of it.
Following my gaze, Jeniel also stared into the barrier. The snake’s face was reflected in the clear eyes.
“Pears, snakes!?”
Surprised, Jeniel looked back and forth between the snake and her right foot. Soon, tears welled up.
“Did you get bitten by a snake…?”
“it’s okay.”
Actually it wasn’t okay.
Venomous snakes were deadly even to wizards, and there are many venomous snakes in Mount Hernis.
First aid was needed right now.
“·······”
I stared at Jeniel’s ankle for a moment. Bright red blood was flowing down the thin, fragile ankle.
The deadly venom of the venomous snake that must have penetrated there.
······It has to be taken out.
That way, Jeniel won’t die.
“Be patient.”
Reluctantly, he brought his lips to Jeniel’s white ankle. He squeezed his cheeks and sucked out blood.
First aid like I saw on TV sometime.
It was the best I could do.
“Eeeing… It tickles… Aang…”
Jeniel wiggled his toes and let out a strange moan. It was embarrassing to hear, but I didn’t care and continued.
“Two!”
After spitting out blood, he brought his lips together again. I pursed my lips to draw blood more effectively.
After repeating this several times, the blood became clearer. It seemed that this was enough.
“After… it’s done.”
When I parted my lips, Jeniel looked at me with a new look.
“Shut up, are you done?”
“Roughly.”
I pointed right at the barrier.
Only first aid was completed, but complete treatment was not yet complete.
“Do you know what kind of snake this is?”
“Wait a minute······”
Jeniel carefully observed the snake inside the barrier.
In the basic course of pharmacy, there is a subject called poison. To that extent, they study the poisons of animals and plants in depth. In the first place, medicine is manufactured based on natural poison, so it has to be.
Likewise, because she is knowledgeable about poisonous animals and plants, Jeniel must know the types of snakes.
Jeniel looked intently at him and said.
“Like Karina? Probably right.”
“Is it a viper?”
“yes!”
Jeniel nodded vigorously. It was somehow proud. Then, his face twisted.
“······What should I do.”
······
Fortunately, Jeniel was fine.
Karina’s poison wasn’t very strong, and her quick first aid was the shining light. Moreover, he knew how to decipher it. With just a few herbs, you can excrete any residual elements from your body.
The problem is that his ankle is swollen from a snake bite.
“·······”
Sitting on a rock, Jeniel stared blankly at her ankle.
“Your ankles are very fat.”
“I know······”
Pour about the size of a peach. At this rate, let alone gathering herbs, it would be impossible to even walk.
No matter how weak the poison is, poison is poison. It was good to detox as quickly as possible.
I looked at Jeniel’s ankle and worried.
“What do we do.”
My legs are fine, but I don’t know about herbs. I did write a set of monsters and herbs, but it’s been a long time, so I can’t remember, and I didn’t attach an image, so I don’t know what it looks like.
All I need now are my legs and Jeniel’s eyes.
There was only one way to put the two together.
“·······”
I turned around and got down on one knee. He showed his back to Jeniel.
“Get up.”
“Okay.”
Jeniel was carried on me without hesitation. Along with the tactile sensation of water, a sense of weight was conveyed. It was lighter than I thought. I got up and asked Jeniel.
“Where shall we go?”
“Um… over there.”
Jeniel confidently stretched out his arms. I went there first. I slightly bent my knees so that Jeniel could see.
“Here it is?”
“Um… uh, there is!”
Jeniel’s finger pointed at the yellow flower. I quickly tore it off and handed it to Jeniel.
“In addition?”
“Um… not here. over there!”
This time it pointed the other way. As if I had become Mario Kart, I moved according to Jeniel’s instructions.
If this is it, this is it.
over there, over there.
He wandered through the forest to find medicinal herbs, and before he knew it, Jeniel’s hands were full of unknown plants. It was a collection method that wasn’t worse than expected.
If there’s just one thing that bothers me…
“Ha—It’s not here either.”
Every time Jeniel speaks, hot breath touches him.
It is also the most sensitive ear of my body. A place that can be called an erogenous zone.
“Now I just need to find one. Ehh—”
“Cheup.”
I had goosebumps all over my body. It was a tickling yet subtly stimulating sensation.
Do you think it’s strange enough to be so affectionate?
I bit my teeth and endured my trembling body.
As her ears turned red, Jeniel spoke shyly.
“Haha… Leonard.”
“yes?”
“I’m sorry… is it too heavy?”
A misunderstanding of the ear mentioned above with a different meaning.
“no. It’s not heavy at all.”
“really?”
Jeniel stuck his head out and smiled smirkingly. He brought his lips closer and whispered softly.
“Acquaintance-squeak?”
In the process, their lips slightly touched. In an instant, the power in his eyes went out.
Ah… I can’t stand it any longer.
“Actually, it’s a bit heavy…”
I smiled shyly. Jeniel patted me on the shoulder and acted cute.
“Ah, I should have told you. Where do you want to sit down and rest?”
“OK.”
I looked around to see if there was any place to rest. Just in time, a stream flowed in the distance. It was such a shallow valley that you could see the bottom.
It didn’t look particularly dangerous, and it seemed like I had heard that cold water friction was good for swelling, so I headed there without delay. After Jeniel sat down, I followed and sat next to him.
I took off my shoes and dipped my feet into the valley.
gurgling ——–
The soft water tickled my feet. Cumulus clouds in the sky hid the sun for a while, and a cool breeze blew in from the south. Absolutely peaceful atmosphere.
In that languid silence, Jeniel spoke first.
“How are Narsha and I these days? At one time, it was so bad that I couldn’t even mix it.”
“Narsha?”
I just blankly asked.
Actually… I still get dizzy when I think of our first meeting.
The hostility that touched the skin.
Eyes that seemed to have the intent to kill.
Compared to that time, my relationship with Narsha has improved a lot. He talked to me first, brought his own lunch and came to see me in the hospital.
I said while looking at the clear valley water.
“Right now, he’s just a good colleague. I have a past, but neither of them cares.”
“····okay? That’s great.”
Zeniel reflected in the valley water was smiling. It seemed somehow reassuring. As I stared blankly at it, a thought came to me.
He asked while keeping his eyes on him.
“You? How about Karios?”
“Karios…? I do not know.”
Jeniel’s face darkened again. It still seemed bad.
Well, originally, Karios wasn’t even that kind of a friendly character, and when the 「Anti-slaughter trait」—[Concentrating more on one’s own task than the heroine]—was active, that’s all I said.
Did you say anything wrong?
“·······”
It was at that time when I was trying to change the subject of conversation with a glance. Jeniel said in a slightly stiff voice.
“Leonard.”
Jeniel’s face reflected in the valley water became even more serious.
Are you offended? You asked first, so I asked again out of etiquette…
I shook my head. I asked, looking as closely as possible.
“why?”
“My bathroom…”
“uh? Oh, yes.”
that was the problem
Then it deserves to be serious.
I hurriedly put Jeniel on my back.
＊＊＊
Headquarters north of Mount Hernis.
Carios, who was in charge of the northern jurisdiction of the warlock subjugation mission, was deeply troubled.
The West 3 team arrived a little while ago.
However, Leonard and Jeniel were not among them. Then came the shocking news.
-I was attacked by demons while helping from Team 3. Fortunately, there are no fatalities… Leonard-sama and Jeniel-sama were in distress.
Mount Hernis is an area crowded with upper and middle level demons. To think that the two of them were in distress in a place like that. I had to immediately set up a search team and go to rescue them.
It should be.
That’s right…
“You have to decide. Professor Karios.”
Rectacio, the vice-captain of the Immortal Knights, said.
According to the newly received information, the magical power of the legendary black magician Luca Delos was detected on Mount Hernis.
In short, it meant that Lucar Delos was hiding nearby.
The heart of this mission and the Empire’s century-old goal.
The wish of all wizards in the Empire, including the Immortal Knights.
Luca Delos killed.
The opportunity had arrived to accomplish a task that had seemed impossible, but had always been dreamed of. It wasn’t impossible if we did our best with the current staff.
A device capable of eradicating the root of all evil.
Karios was put at a crossroads.
Is it friendship or achievement?
Is it love or work?
“·······”
After thinking about it for a while, Karios finally made a decision.
“Call the troops. We will do our best to kill Lucaradelos.”
Leonard will be able to survive somehow .
