Chapter 247 So, What Should We Do?
Her Royal Highness (Mariajane-san) must have heard from Jag-san that I was kidnapped. She's mumbling, but I can tell she's trying really hard to talk. Maybe she's not good at talking to people.
"No, no, it's fine. The Celestial Race is recognized as a common enemy, and besides, this kid is a bit special."
'Pfft. You know, you acted like a transforming hero in front of Mother (Privia), right? So, that's probably why you're treated like a ghost. Right? Bro-ther?'
"I know, I know. I'm aware that I've messed up quite a bit personally."
I moved closer to Jag-san and cast 'Mana Recover' on him. He should be able to heal everyone else besides Her Royal Highness.
"Master, thank you."
"Anyway, keep going, keep going."
"Yes."
I resumed treating one of the captured women.
"Maya-chan, anyway..."
"I know because I saw earlier. Yeah. Almost dead, in a bad state, brother. If it gets any worse, she'll be just like Myla's sister back then, right? Honestly, I'm surprised she can still stand."
"...Huh? I'm... okay, though?"
She looked shocked. I know about this. Our mother (Privia) used to do this sometimes too. I think Alesion did as well.
"Your Royal Highness, we're both women, so, sorry about that."
"...Huh? Wh-what are you going to do?"
Maya-chan peeks in from the collar of her clothes. Sometimes she says "Wow" while looking closely. After a while, she seems satisfied and nods.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"...No, um, you're welcome?"
Maya-chan crosses her arms in front of her face.
"Bubbu! Too bad. It was all 'surprisingly dark' everywhere. Even the base of the wings is pitch black. This is the worst condition ever. The numbers Maya saw don't lie. This is real."
The numbers probably refer to the percentage of Oso (Dreadful element) poison that Maya-chan 'appraised.' Scary, right?
By the way, even though she's (the princess) hiding it with loose clothing, the folded wings are almost completely black. Just like Centrena.
"I knew it. Yeah. Our mothers (Privia) are the same, Maya-chan. Why do important people have to endure like this?"
"Those who are true to their desires tend to be oppressive, you know? Just like Daioraden."
"Yeah, yeah."
I brought a chair next to Jag-san and sat down with a thud. Maya-chan brought a chair and sat next to me.
"Is it okay, Jillietta-san (Failroud's junior)?"
"Yes. Please sit down, Mariajane-dono."
"...No, I──."
It seems Jillietta-san is stronger. She forced the princess to sit down. She has a look like, 'Tatsuma-sama, please take care of the rest.' Alright, got it.
"If it's not rude, may I have your hand?"
"...Um, speaking of which, earlier..."
"Yes?"
"...Jagrute called you, master."
Jag-san is calling me master, huh?
"Yes, that's right, Your Royal Highness. My master is the only one in this world who has mastered Healing Attribute magic. Knowing that, I asked to become his disciple right then and there. As a result, I was able to start treating Oso poison like this."
"...Wow, I see. Is that so?"
Her Royal Highness is surprised. But her way of speaking hasn't changed. It means she's not pretending. Unlike Rosalier-san, who shows her true self when she's shocked, Her Royal Highness doesn't do that. Yeah. I'm sorry for doubting her.
I'm holding Her Royal Highness' right hand with my right hand. Maya-chan is staring at her hand closely. Then she shows me a disappointed expression.
"Maya can't handle this. She's just a little better than Myla's older sister. If we roll up her sleeves, I bet it's dark all the way to her elbows, brother... Hmm. Maybe it's even black on her back?"
Then Her Royal Highness jumps a little in surprise. I can feel that reaction in my hand too.
"If Maya-chan can't do it, can I treat her instead?"
"Yeah. I give up. I'll leave it to you, big brother. Oh, not Her Royal Highness! I mean the treatment for morning sickness, okay?"
"I understand."
Maya-chan raises both hands in a cheer. Jag-san knows she was treating at the shrine. So he probably figured it out right away. He stops his hands and watches as my treatment begins.
"Um, 'Dis Recover' for curing disease, and 'Regenerate' for regeneration. Then 'Full Recover'──that should be good, right?"
"...Huh? Huh?"
"Maya-chan, please check with Jillietta-san. She knows where to check."
"Understood, brother!"
Maya-chan stood up and saluted, then took Her Royal Highness with her to the tent where the entrance was closing. Mother also went with them because she wanted to talk to Her Royal Highness.
"Three skills for a complete cure, huh? Impressive as always, Master."
"That's just how it is. I stopped counting after maybe a thousand times? I just kept going. It's not a big deal. Oh, of course, like everyone else, I've treated them so they can fly. But I'm more of a 'people healer.' I'm not good at purifying water or land. So this is about my limit. Well, enough about me. Can you please continue, Jag-san?"
I'm aiming for Jag-san to reach level 4. Each spell he casts gives him experience, so we can't waste any.
"Y-yes, Master."
This is something no one has achieved in Arlheave, or maybe I'm the only one in this world who has reached it. The realm of level 3. I can clearly feel the Oso poison scattered around. Honestly, Jag-san probably still can't believe it.
Since we have a lot of mana tea, there's no need to drink that sugary, calorie-rich mana honey and gain weight. I had Maya-chan check how efficiently mana recovers, and it's only about 10% of the mana tea. So, I guess it makes sense that Jag-san got a bit chubby, right?
