Luna opened her mouth as she watched me comforting her.
“Even so, I wish no one had gotten hurt, including Adel.”
“…….”
“That’s why I’ll work harder. I’ll make sure no one gets hurt.”
“That’s a good mindset!”
Clench.
I nodded my head repeatedly and took Luna’s hand.
“Oh, oh……?”
“It seems that the advice I gave you was helpful. Yes, you did your best. All you have to do is continue to do your best.”
“B, before that, let go of my hand…….”
Luna’s shoulders flinched, but I ignored her and praised her.
Luna's will hadn't been broken.
That’s why I wanted to praise her.
How many people suffer from ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’ after war or combat?
It was only natural for students as timid as Luna to do so.
Even among the A-class students, there were several who still couldn’t forget the dead students and were struggling.
“You must move forward without blaming yourself. Continue to do so in the future.”
“Yeah, next time I’ll definitely heal Adel’s wounds perfectly!”
“Next time, you say?”
Luna’s reply made me frown as I asked back.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“Lady Luna, your words sound like I have to get hurt again.”
“Th-That’s not what I meant!”
“Just kidding.”
“Adel, you….”
Luna pouted as if she was upset when I smiled faintly.
Then, she pointed her index finger at me and spoke as if she was earnestly requesting something.
“Don’t say things like that recklessly in the future!”
“Yes.”
I decided to stop teasing her here since it seemed like she would really get mad if I teased her any further.
Amidst our conversation, Samuel’s voice rang out.
[…It's disgusting to watch. Sytan is a place for studying, not for your love games.]
“L-Love?”
Luna stuttered as she got caught up on one of the sentences Samuel had said.
[……?]
Samuel tried to ask something else in response to Luna’s sensitive reaction.
Samuel hadn’t said those words because he was certain that Luna liked me, but rather because he had said them in an attempt to tease her.
Luna had reacted so strongly to his words that he was curious.
I quickly cut off their conversation, feeling like we were about to get into a troublesome situation.
“Who's the one playing love games?”
[What?]
“Hmm, I saw everything.”
[W-What do you mean you saw?]
Samuel stuttered in embarrassment as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
He couldn’t help it.
I knew who Samuel had a crush on.
“Well, I understand that Mr. Samuel is a young man who has just entered puberty.”
[What nonsense are you talking about……!]
As he said that, Samuel fidgeted around anxiously.
I chuckled inwardly as I watched him.
Was it at the beginning of the semester?
A female student had asked Samuel to team up with her.
Every time that female student spoke to him, Samuel would always respond as if he was annoyed.
However, I realized that Samuel was secretly conscious of her.
That female student had also come running to me today and grabbed Samuel’s thorny hand with both of hers to thank him.
What had she said?
I was sure she had said something like this.
“Samuel, you were amazing. You went this far to save us…… Really……”
[Kuaaaak! Stop it!]
Samuel convulsed at her words.
As if to prove that he had feelings for her, his arm vibrated violently.
That was the moment when Samuel’s attention shifted completely from Luna to me.
“Adel, we’re here!”
Luna pointed at a door and said to me.
I followed her gaze and saw a door with a nameplate that read ‘Medical Office’.
“Let’s go in.”
I opened the door to the medical office.
I could see a woman in a white coat.
A Demon with short brown hair.
She seemed to be the medical instructor in charge of the medical office.
As soon as she saw us, the first words she uttered were:
“……I suppose I should prepare for surgery.”
The moment I heard those words.
I realized that I had come to the right place.
She had grasped the severity of my condition with just a glance.
The wound had already healed and was no longer bleeding, but she had noticed at a glance that there was something wrong with my bones from the way I walked and stood.
I opened my mouth with a faint smile on my lips.
“Please do.”
I hope the surgery is successful.

Honestly kinda find Luna a bit annoying
ReplyDeleteShe feels like a typical healer.
DeleteHonestly, there is a YouTube video by JoshStrifeHaze called anime healer vs MMORPG healer, pretty funny and draws parallels to this situation
