Chapter 11.2



Editor: sleepchaser

“…Lian. The blood is…”

“Blood?”

Alfred reaches a hand toward me and brushes his fingers on the back of my head. That hand trembles slightly. When he brings it before my eyes, I see the red of blood.

Aah, that. So that’s why the back of my head felt wet before.

“Please bear with it for a bit. I will quickly take you back…”

As Alfred’s lifting me up, I shake my head.

“You don’t have to hurry. Although I’ve lost some blood, the bleeding seems to have already stopped. And it doesn’t hurt that much, so it’s okay.”

“But—”

“Alfred. I’m sorry, but can you go back first and call the teacher over? I will wait here.”

“Ha? Are you stupid? What will you do if the demon dogs come back?”

“I’ll be fine for a while… Probably. Oh yeah, can you leave the sword here just in case? And I also brought a lot of recovery medicine. So that’s why… You go first. Call the teacher over.”

“Go first…?”

“Yeah. I can’t exactly move my limbs right now. So going back together… That will be very difficult. That’s why you should just quickly leave now.”

Alfred looks down and shakes his head. Why are you refusing? He won’t be able to climb up the cliff while carrying me. It’s more efficient and quick for Alfred to just climb first, and lead the teacher here.

Most of the pack of demon dogs had already gotten their asses kicked by Alfred, and the several who managed to escape had fled with their tails tucked between their legs. So they won’t be coming back any time soon. Waiting here for a while should be okay. I think Alfred should’ve known that.

I give Alfred’s shoulder a light push.

“Come on. I’m okay. Stop worrying about me and just go. This kind of cliff should be easy-peasy for you, right? So even if you have to go alone, just go—”

“I won’t go!’

Yelled at suddenly, I jerk my head up without even knowing it, my eyes wide with surprise. Alfred’s eyes are still lowered, and with the cave as dark as it is, I can’t make out his expression.

“…My bad… How much recovery medicine did you bring?”

“Eh? Ah, ehm… Four pieces.”

“Take all of them out.”

Since he bluntly reaches out a hand, I stick my hand into my pocket and pull out all four of the pieces. I drop them into Alfred’s palm.

“Where does it hurt the most?”

“Eh? Maybe the left shoulder—fuahh!?”

He tugged off my shirt so abruptly, and is now smearing the medicinal salve all over my shoulder without waiting for any of my input. Too sudden. It’s too sudden. I can’t even react in time.

He also rubs the salve on the back of my head, back, and right leg, leaving no piece of recovery medicine unused. Never had I imagined that what I brought to use on Alfred will be used on myself.

“How is it? Feel like you can walk?”

“…Nuh uh, but it’s not like I definitely can’t walk…”

When I stand up, the pain encircles my neck, runs down my back and travels to my right foot, causing me to stumble. Since Alfred quickly catches me, I don’t fall to the ground. I should have brought more recovery medicine.

“You don’t have to force yourself…I’ll look for a place that’s climbable for the both of us.”

After Alfred says that, he stands up with me in his arms.

“Wai—”

If both of his hands are occupied it’ll be bad, right? What is he thinking?

“Ah, Alfred. Wait. I told you it’s fine. I’m pretty sure those guys won’t be coming back again. I’ll just wait here obediently, so—”

“No good.”

“But—”

“If I say it’s no good, then it’s no good! I definitely will not leave you here. Never again…”

Alfred’s voice is stiff and gruff, as if he’s enduring something.

“Alfred? You know—”

“Not listening.”

He declares he won’t be listening. With an angry tone. What the hell is that? I don’t understand it at all.

There’s no indication that he will put me down, and I sigh.

After surveying the foot of the cliff for a while, we finally find a side that has collapsed, forming a relatively gentle slope. Even though I use the word gentle, a slope is still a slope, and because there are rocks and trees in the way, I don’t suppose it’ll be an easy climb.

Thinking that this is impossible no matter how you look at it, I once again tell Alfred to leave me behind. But for who knows why, he scolds me again! Why? Did I say something infuriating? I didn’t, right?

In the end, Alfred still ignores me, and ascends the cliff side while holding me. As I’ve said before, even for the high-spec future hero, scaling cliff while carrying another person in their arms is practically absurd.

Even so, for some reason, Alfred doesn’t abandon me.

One way or another, we finally reach the animal trail back.

Jade and his friends rush over, tears and snot running down their faces. I’m not sure why, but they keep apologizing to me. I try to combat this by claiming the blame instead, and tell them they shouldn’t feel guilty. But that just makes them cry even more. The fact of the matter is I am the one who started this trouble. It’s also because of my carelessness that I got myself into such a pickle. Basically, I’m the one who should be apologizing to them.

Even at the teacher’s arrival, Alfred still doesn’t put me down. I try to talk my way out of it, saying I must be heavy, but he just strikes back saying I’m too light. I can’t wipe the shock off my face.

It’s not like I have an eating disorder. So how could I be that light? I’m the average weight for my size!

Anyway, I report what I saw at the bottom of the cliff to the teacher. Mainly, the corpses of the priest and the knight. The teacher tells me they’ll report this to the lodging administrator, so that the corpses can at least receive a proper burial. In the game they were left as they were, but to do such a thing in real life seems too miserable.

In the end, the teacher does not restart the test of courage from the beginning. Instead, it was canceled halfway that night, filling me with guilt.

I sweep my gaze through the crowd around me. Everyone is staring at me, unspoken words in their eyes. It’s so awkward that I can’t even lift my face.

You bastard, why are you putting me in this kind of situation! It’s making me the target of all these whispers! I’m curious about what they’re saying but I’m also scared to hear what it is! It’s definitely something worthless.

That’s why I told you before to quickly put me down!!
