Chapter 170: Relaxing Time



"… Claire"

"Yes?"

Claire smiled softly, then sat on a chair in the hospital room. And then, I answered the question that she just asked earlier.

"I guess I am fine now. In fact, being in the hospital the last few days made my body stiff, to the extent that I want to head to the dungeon right away"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow that. In Amane-san's case, even if the injuries on your body have healed, the circulation of magic power inside your body has hardly recovered yet."

"…. Come to think of it, that's true…"

In my battle against Cain, the reason my body became so worn out was because I kept receiving a supply of magical power that exceeded my limit from Cursed. This kind of injury couldn't be healed by medical treatment or healing magic. Which means, it seems I have no choice but to wait for it to heal naturally.

Well, the problem is actually the duration….

"How long will it take for me to recover completely?"

"Let's see. Given Amane-san situation, I think it will take at least a month"

"Too long… By the way, what if I tried to force myself to capture a dungeon—"

"Severe pain will assault your entire body, and depending on the pain, it could make you faint too."

"…. To that extent, huh"

A month. If I had that much time, the current me could increase my level by tens of thousands. To be honest, it was quite a shame to miss that kind of opportunity. But well, if I didn't use Cursed at that time, I wouldn't be able to protect Hana and the others, so I have no regrets selecting that option itself, though.

When I was thinking about something like that, Claire said.

"However, I actually have a little thought regarding that matter, so you might don't have to wait that long."

"A thought?"

"I can't tell you the details yet because I haven't gotten the permission from the other party, but I don't think the result would be bad. That's why, please be patient for a while just like this"

"…. Aa, alright"

Since it wasn't something that could be solved even if I complained, I nodded. Looking at this, for some reason, Claire laughed for a bit before changing the topic.

"And then, regarding Hana-san."

"What about Hana?"

"While Amane-san was hospitalized, we explained the guild to her. Although she said she couldn't make a decision until you woke up, apparently, the person herself wanted to join."

"I see. I guess I have to talk about that as well with her."

Although Hana comes to visit me every day, most of the time Rei and Yui come with her too, so we still haven't talked about that yet. I guess we should make some time for that.

"At any rate, let's end such complicated matters right here. Since I'm already here, I will peel some fruits for you, okay?"

Saying that, Claire peeled the apple that was placed as a gift from visits. The shape is, of course, Wolven. Truly, how much does this girl like Wolven? Or rather,

"You come all the way here just to inform me about that, huh. My bad."

I am grateful she notified me about Hana's recruitment to the guild, but I'm pretty sure it was something that could be said even after I was discharged from the hospital. Like that, when I was thinking about how grateful I am that she came all the way here just to tell me about that, for some reason, Claire stared at me reproachfully.

… Etto.

"What's wrong, Claire?"

"… Nothing. I definitely didn't think ‘even though the information that I told you just now was just an additional objective, while my real objective was to visit Amane-san'…"

"Ugh"

S-so it was like that. Looks like I did something wrong. Or rather, Claire could make that kind of expression, huh. Despite how awkward the current situation was, I couldn't help but think about that.

"I see. My bad… No, that's incorrect. Thanks for coming, Claire."

"Yes. Here, I finished peeling the apple."

Claire promptly returned to her usual self and gave me the Wolven-shape apple. And then, we enjoyed a relaxing time for a while like that.
