Rescue Sally
“Uh… ”
I tossed my body.
No, I was trying to flip it over.
However, there was something heavy on the ship, so it was not easy.
‘what… ‘
I opened my eyes slowly.
All I see is a white blanket and Veronica sleeping with her head on my stomach.
Veronica slowly raises her head as well, as if she felt me tossing and turning.
“Huh… uh? Louie?”
Veronica’s eyes widen.
“Louis, are you awake?”
“yes. Where is it… ”
Warak.
“Wake up, Louie, Louie, Louie… ”
She jumps up on me and hugs me.
“Uh… ”
Embarrassed, I froze as it was, but Veronica didn’t care about that.
He just kept calling my name and burying his face in my arms.
I feel my arms getting wet little by little.
“Louis… I was worried, I thought you wouldn’t wake up… Whoa… ”
“Me, Veronica?”
“Idiot… Why are you worried… ”
Carefully moving the two arms that had nowhere to go.
I carefully hugged the crying Veronica and told her.
“veronica… i hurt… ”
“Ugh! sorry!”
Veronica jumps away from me, startled.
Whatever happened to my body, Veronica’s hugging was quite painful.
“It’s okay, Louie… ?”
Veronica asks cautiously.
Seeing that, I smiled and nodded my head.
see my smile
“Hey!”
Veronica also smiles with a tearful face.
We stared at each other for a while.
When the atmosphere gets a little awkward.
I tried to ask her what had happened, but it was quicker for Veronica to open her mouth again.
“It’s me, Louie.”
“yes.”
“thank you.”
“yes.”
“really.”
Veronica’s face was red from embarrassment.
“… I’m the only disciple of the Red Mage, right? He is also the heir to the Red Horse Tower.”
“Are you suddenly proud of yourself?”
I said with a smirk.
“You mean I am such a great person, you idiot!”
she shouts.
“Remember how I said I would somehow repay you for what I did to you?”
I nodded.
“With this, I have more to repay. Anything is fine.”
“Yes?”
“Because I’m the heir to the Red Devils, I mean do everything you want to do! Because I don’t know how else to repay with my head… ”
she curls her tail
I said playfully.
“… no swelling? Do you really do anything?”
“Yeah, I’ll ask from my side.”
However, Veronica’s tone of reply was serious.
After that, her story was finished.
I asked her to explain what happened so far.
“First of all, where are you?”
“Hospital on Luthern Island. Shortly after Sally woke up, the professors brought us here.”
With those words, Veronica began to explain.
A black horseman who appeared right after we defeated Sally.
And then, the academy president appeared with the black horseman’s arm cut off.
She and the Academy’s professors.
What they saw in the room was me, Felice and Ai who had fallen.
Even though she didn’t lose her mind, Veronica and Master, who could never be said to be in good condition.
Even Sally, who can’t figure out what’s going on there.
It would have been bewildering enough for the president and professors as well.
Because our condition was so serious, it is said that we were moved first.
Leaving the training center and moving to the hospital on Luthern Island.
Veronica and Master, who had relatively light injuries, were discharged first.
Even while Felice and Aine, both of whom were in a serious condition, were discharged from the hospital, I was still unconscious.
In the meantime, the practical evaluation ends.
It is said that a field trip to Luthern Island, which was scheduled for later, is in progress.
‘Hey, it looks like it hasn’t been canceled?’
However, other party members, including Veronica, said that I was on a school trip and was only in the hospital to keep me by my side.
Then, except for me who couldn’t come to my senses, all the party members were called to the professor.
He said he explained exactly what had happened.
Of course, not only the work in the laboratory, but also the attack by the monsters that Leo intended.
In Sally’s case, she was taken to another location for questioning.
Veronica went on a rampage, but Sally calmed her down.
In particular, it is said that the president of the academy personally came and promised Sally that he would not do anything.
I asked Veronica.
“Didn’t the professors give a special explanation?”
“No, I just heard about it.”
The place you accidentally entered is the secret laboratory of the Black Magic Tower.
When they learned that something illegal was being done there, the academy professors went out to uncover it.
… It is said that the explanation was
‘It’s really rough.’
I muttered to myself.
Even so, what happened was roughly predictable.
Sally’s appearance was already quite different from the original game.
Besides that, was it because of my appearance, or was it because Leo had such a personality?
Anyway, it must have changed a lot from what I knew.
Among them, there is also the fact that for some reason the Black Mage Master came directly to the secret laboratory here.
There is also a fact that the academy noticed the existence of this secret laboratory, and the president personally led the professors.
Thinking this far, I got a little chilled.
Dealing with Sally was so difficult that it was incomparable to the original game.
The road to her was much easier than expected.
We encountered only eight wizards.
Even those 6 were weak enough to be called trash mobs.
But, isn’t that all because the president and professors were dealing with the rest of the wizards in front of them?
Of course, the Academy’s professors are among the most powerful.
In particular, the president is a human being with the modifier of a monster.
However, it means that even those people were injured enough, so it is of course unreasonable for us.
‘No… ‘
Clearly, the black matapju I saw was in good shape despite the battles with the president and professors.
Until my arm is cut off.
It was a testament to his skills.
What if he fought while controlling the runaway Sally?
‘Today is the end of four years of life.’
The voice of the black magician seems to be heard in my ears.
It was definitely a confident voice.
We were able to deal with Sally, first of all, because Sally was alone.
In addition, Leonhardt’s mana was thanks to the extra-standard power.
What would have happened if Black Matapju and Sally attacked the president together.
Principal, I don’t think Luisa Falken will be defeated so easily.
If she were to suffer, humanity would lose an important card to fight against the demon lord.
Even if she hadn’t suffered, some professors might have lost their lives.
With that in mind, maybe we were lucky enough to be there.
“… What do you think, Louie?”
“Oh, no.”
At Veronica’s question, I shook my head.
She asks me with a worried look.
“Are you still sick? Shall I call a healer?”
“no it’s okay.”
Veronica nodded and stood up.
“Then, Louie. I’ll be there for a while.”
“Where?”
I asked in a curious voice.
“To call the other kids. Did I mention earlier that everyone took turns watching over you?”
“yes.”
“Originally, I was going to tell you right away when you wake up. Then, I will go!”
After leaving those words, Veronica hesitated for a moment by my side as if it were a pity.
Finally, open the door and go out.
In the hospital room alone, I remembered for a moment what had happened just before I fainted.
‘Oh right!’
I immediately put my hand in my pocket, but nothing caught on.
to be confused for a moment.
In the first place, I realized that the clothes I was wearing now were patient clothes, not practicum evaluation clothes.
‘I’ll have to ask the nurse later.’
I carefully raised my upper body.
“Ugh… !”
it hurts badly
After all, Leonhardt’s power is that he can be devastated even if he uses it in a normal state.
I wrote it when I was already maimed from being beaten by Sally.
Rather, I’m glad it’s this much better.
when i’m thinking like that
Urgent footsteps were heard outside the door.
Quang!
“Aww, surprise… ”
“Louis!”
“Louis!”
“Lou, Louie!”
Master, Aine, and Felice run into the open door.
Veronica might have heard it beforehand, but he didn’t rush at me.
All three came to my side with teary-eyed expressions.
I spoke to the four party members around me.
“Thank you all four. Thanks to everyone, I was able to get out of there and save Sally… ”
Everyone started crying again at my words.
Of course, my words were interrupted by the cry of Aine, who was crying especially sadly.
Anyway, after Master and Felice even shed tears.
We started the story that had been pushed back.
—
“Sorry, I’m sorry… ”
Veronica lowers her head and says:
“No, I told you to speak as soon as the patient wakes up! What the hell is everyone talking about there… ”
The healer speaks like a fool.
“sorry… ”
party members mutter
For some reason, while I was talking with them, my body ached more and more.
It turned out that the only thing I could endure was the painkillers.
The party members forgot the healer’s request with the joy of waking up.
Eventually, the fact that I was awake was communicated to the healer by the nurse who had come to give me a pain reliever injection.
Anyway, the healer started explaining my condition to me.
And it was worse than I expected.
