Chapter 390 – Sudden Call (4)

A little unexpected accident passed once, but thanks to the momentary improvisation, the battle itself was somehow finished.

Had it not been for Hye-eun’s prompt change of instructions and Cheon Ji-hee’s fighting spirit for injury, let alone the battle would have been prolonged, it would have been difficult to be sure of victory itself.

As the party leader and her eldest sister, their roles were important in many ways in this battle as well.

The flame sword I made with Cha Yu-ri the other day was only a little supportive.

After somehow completing the attack on the White Crystal Spider Queen, I ran straight to Cheon Ji-hee, who continued the battle with a fairly deep wound.

She slumped in her seat, groping around her own feet with her pained expression on her face.

“Sup, ha ha…”

“Mr. Jihee!”

“Are you okay, senior?!”

“… This, this much… No big deal.”

Even just a moment ago, he had been fiddling around her feet with a painful voice.

Maybe it’s because Hye-eun doesn’t want to show a weak side as much as she watches.

I understand the feeling of wanting to bluff her, saying that she is in front of the girl she likes, but she still wants to hide the fact that she was injured and bluff.

“I’ll take care of your wounds, Cheon Ji-hee. Give her feet this way.”

“… Okay.”

Senior Cheon Ji-hee, who listened to my words and gave her a quiet answer, showed her injured part.

The other day, she must have said something unnecessary, saying, ‘If you leave a wound like this soon, it will heal.’, But it seems that the injury she suffered today was serious.

In fact, injuries that looked serious to anyone could be seen on both of her feet.

While she was using her recovery spell by wrapping her feet with both hands, she suddenly heard senior Cheon Ji-hee’s urgent cry.

“Now, wait… !”

“Yes?”

“… You don’t have to gather like this just because of my worries. Others start by collecting materials. Over time, the material deteriorates and becomes more difficult to dismantle.”

“…”

He may have said that in words, but he probably meant it in a slightly different way.

It’s probably because he doesn’t want others to see himself hurt and weak. Especially to Hye-eun, whom she loves, she wouldn’t want to show a weaker side.

“… I understand, Mr. Jihee. Yuri and Minah, let’s disband the White Crystal Spider Queen first.”

“… Okay.”

“Ah, yes. Okay.”

Fortunately, as soon as Hye-eun, who was quick-witted, heard what Ji-hee Cheon said, she took the other two and moved on to dismantle the corpse of the white crystal spider queen.

The other two also followed Hye-eun, and only two people remained in her place, the wounded senior Cheon Ji-hee and the healer.

“… It’s okay, you can treat it now.”

“Yes.”

As soon as she heard her words, she resumed the divine power infusion she had paused for a while.

Each time the divine power of my recovery spell entered into Cheon Ji-hee’s feet, her expression slightly distorted into pain.

“Turn it off, huh… !”

“Hold on a little bit, sir. It only hurts for a moment.”

“I know…”

The appearance of senior Cheon Ji-hee recovering from the wound with a rather painful expression, perhaps because the injury itself was quite serious.

Fortunately, it must have been an injury that could be healed with my recovery ability, but her right foot, which was covered with wounds, was slowly finding its beautiful shape thanks to her recovery magic.

Excluding the old wounds that were so old that no longer needed a recovery spell, Cheon Ji-hee’s injuries were healed in a surprisingly short time.

… To be precise, the injury to one of her feet was only cured.

“Now give me the other foot.”

“… .”

“You’re not going to walk all the way out of the dungeon from here, right?”

“…”

Perhaps the process of her treatment was quite painful, but the way she hesitated to put out the other foot seemed a little cute.

Well, it was such a severe injury that I couldn’t help complaining about her pain.

It was actually a great deal of patience just to endure it without screaming in the process of treating one of her feet.

I felt even more sorry for the fact that the injury was an injury sustained while trying to rescue me from being thrown into a group of white crystal spiders.

Of course, it was just that the result of acting according to the strategy we had established together did not go well, but it wasn’t that my actions in itself were wrong when I was aiming for the Weak Crystal Spider Queen’s weakness.

Still, as a human being, it was inevitable that a little bit of an emotional part would go into it.

“Huh, ah… !”

… Especially when looking at Cheon Ji-hee’s face with a painful expression like this.

Anyway, in order to alleviate her pain, it was best to treat her quickly, so I used my healing spell to shove divine power into her feet.

Chun Ji-hee’s treatment, which had let out more painful moans several times, somehow came to an end.

“It’s over, Cheon Ji-hee senior.”

“… Great job.”

“You have been patient. The injury was quite serious, but I was able to finish it quickly thanks to the gentleman who treated her.”

“… Don’t tell the other kids To say that I acted unsightly while undergoing treatment.”

“Why are you saying things like that? I’m not a personality breaker.”

I didn’t have the hobby of relieving stress by radiating other people’s flaws here and there.

And that it ended with such a scream was an achievement to be proud of. In other words, it also means that the injury she received in the first place was serious.

“We will finish dismantling the monster materials, so please sit down and rest until you leave the dungeon.”

“To the point of being so strict…”

“Listen to the healer. I’m saying this because I need to leave it as it is for a little longer to heal completely from the inside out. If you just want to receive treatment outside the dungeon again, you can get up and go around now.”

“…”

Cheon Ji-hee, who was about to get up, sits her body back on the floor and calmly waits for her recovery.

Even if he was an A-class fighter, it seemed that he couldn’t stand the pain.

“And both arms, please. We will treat the rest.”

“… I’m not very hurt here.”

“So the treatment won’t hurt. You can take it with peace of mind, as the pain is over now.”

“…”

– Swoop.

Perhaps because the pain just now was so impressive, he showed a very uneasy look, but anyway, he did not refuse the treatment itself and accepted it calmly.

I took one of her arms and healed her shallow wounds with her healing spell.

“… You are there.”

“Yes?”

“… I have something to say for a moment, so please listen quietly while treating. Just in case, don’t raise your voice.”

“Yes.”

I listened a bit more to see if there were any other serious injuries sustained during the battle, but the words that came out of Cheon Ji-hee’s mouth were a little different from what I expected.

“… It’s your awakening ability. Are you sure that the strange thing is the awakening ability?”

“… Which part are you saying is weird? Is it the fact that the more relationships you share with female hunters, the stronger you become, or the fact that you can handle multiple powers, including swordsmanship and magic, with just one Awakening Ability?”

“… There was also a statement that if you mixed with a female hunter, the other hunter’s awakening ability would be restored.”

“I’m not sure about that part, but maybe about 80% would fit?”

“… Not sure? Where do you find such irresponsible words?”

“It’s irresponsible. What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

She was saying strange things, such as saying that she was irresponsible even though she herself had never mixed her body with me in the first place.

On the contrary, it was me who was dumbfounded by her remarks.

“The one who thinks I’m not sure is the problem with the other person, not me. I’m still not sure if the way to prevent the female hunter’s awakening ability from weakening is simply to have sex with me, or if it’s a genuine emotional exchange with all my heart.”

“Oh, with all my heart… We need to exchange true feelings… ?”

“You said you weren’t sure. Of course, until now, everything has returned properly without a case where the awakening ability is not restored. Except for those who didn’t even need my awakening ability from the beginning.”

“…”

“In the first place, senior Cheon Ji-hee isn’t even in a relationship with me. I don’t think you have the right to say that you are irresponsible in that area.”

If I had approached Cheon Ji-hee in an illicit way from the beginning, such as promising to restore her awakening ability, there was no point of contact between me and her in that respect.

So far, there have been only two women who I approached that way in the first place, Cha Yu-ri and Do So-hee.

Since he had no intention of approaching other people in that way now, he had a relationship with me, but there was no reason to accept complaints such as why his awakening ability was not restored.

Especially for Cheon Ji-hee, who had stubbornly rejected it, let alone the experience of mixing her body with me.

“… Since everyone they had a relationship with has returned, it might be a gamble worth trying to stay by Hye-eun’s side like before… However, for the first experience, I decided to go with Hye-eun unconditionally, but if her awakening ability does not come back even after doing this…”

Cheon Ji-hee, muttering something in a low voice while receiving treatment.

She looked so deeply troubled that she momentarily forgot that I was listening to her words right in front of her nose.

Soon after, as if she had concluded something in her head, she spat out what she had roughly predicted to me with quite firm determination.

“… I will.”

“Yes?”

“… Sharing a bed with you, I will try it once.”

“…”

“I don’t know if that will bring the ability to awaken or not, but it’s worth a try. A first experience isn’t a very important value for a woman anyway. It could be considered that someday I will build up later experiences…”

As if having sex with me had already been confirmed, senior Cheon Ji-hee began to spit out various words by herself.

To be honest, I was thinking positively about having a relationship with her.

Aside from that, the answer I had to give to Cheon Ji-hee now was an expression that was a little far from a positive answer.

“I hate it.”

“… Uh?”

If you ask for someone, you know that you are the one who gives.
