--Tina''s side--
As I approached Eric, he fell over as if he had run out of steam.
After calling my name and thanking me, Eric immediately fainted.
''Eric!''
I''ve never seen Eric this exhausted before.
I''ve been watching Eric''s training and stuff since I was little, but I''ve never seen him in this state before.
Maybe he''s not going to wake up like this...!
I imagine the worst.
What should I do...!
...recovery magic!
I come up with what I can do and immediately lay Eric down slowly on the spot and I begin to build up my magic.
I''m tired from using magic so many times today, but this is nothing compared to Eric...!
It takes a lot of strength to accumulate magic power.
I build up my magic power while breathing a little hard and exercise my magic.
''''Please, live Eric........! "Cure!
I feel all my strength and energy slipping away from my body at once.
I never expected to feel this much exhaustion since I''ve used my magic with the most strength I''ve ever put into my life.
''''Ugh...!
For a moment, he almost lost consciousness, but managed to hold on.
The wounds on Eric''s body are healing rapidly.
Maybe Eric''s trauma is only a slash to his leg, but the damage to his internal organs is significant.
Eric is spitting blood out of his mouth.
That means that the blood is completely coming from somewhere in his internal organs.
My recovery magic is light magic, and while external wounds heal fast, internal wounds are slow to heal.
Eric told me before that internal wounds have to be water magic recovery magic.
I don''t remember water magic recovery magic because Eric has never had such internal wounds in his organs before...!
It''s very frustrating that my power is not able to reach the level of my power, so I continue to use my magic to heal Eric''s wounds even though I feel like crying.
''''Haha..........!
The shortness of breath is getting worse.
Eric''s figure lying down becomes hazy at times.
''Eric...! Don''t die...!
As I''m on the edge and using magic, I hear a voice from inside the village.
''''Dian-san! You can''t move yet!
"My son is fighting and I can''t be down. That''s not a man!
It seems that Uncle Dian shook off the two hunters who stopped him earlier and came here.
''''Elyyyk! I can still fight!
When I turned my head towards the sound of the voice, I saw an uncle with a large sword standing at the torn wall.
''''Hmm...? Where is he...?
Mr. Diane, Eric, you''re down!
What? Eric, are you okay?
''You okay, Tina? I''ve never seen the remains of such a fierce battle...!
The three of them come up to me and Eric when they see me and Eric.
I do my best to explain to the three of them as I continue to use my magic.
''''We''ve already defeated the man...! But Eric, he''s in danger...!
'' Well, we get it, Tina.
Uncle Diane looked a little further back from us and saw a man lying there, dead, and seemed to have a general idea of the situation.
''Thanks for the magic, Tina. You can rest now.
Uncle Diane pats me roughly on the head and tells me so.
I guess Uncle Diane knows I''m forcing myself to use magic.
''But Eric...!
"Eric''s fine. My son''s not going to die like this. So sleep in peace.
I heard my uncle''s words and somehow felt relieved, even though Eric hadn''t even been saved yet....
Maybe that''s why I feel tired and sleepy all at once.
''''Eric........please.........''''
The voice came out smaller than I expected, but I firmly asked Uncle Diane to hear me, sincerely.......
''''I''ll take care of it, Tina.......you did a great job.
The last thing I heard was that voice and I fainted, as if I had run out of power, just like Eric.
--Dian side--
I''m weak.
Right now, Tina-chan has passed out in front of me, and I think about it while supporting her so she doesn''t fall to the ground.
I was fighting a guy who was a demon tribe or something like that earlier, but it was Eric who was able to fight that guy on an even footing.
I fought that guy and he knocked me down without a hand or foot.
If it wasn''t for Tina, I would have died.
The only reason I''m healing after such a big wound is because Tina-chan healed me with her magic.
And even without me, Eric was alone....or maybe Tina was with him.
Together, we beat that strong man.
I''m the best of the best.......!
I can''t even protect my own son.
I clench my fists tightly in frustration as I look at Eric, who''s falling flat on his face in front of me.
''Hey you guys! Let''s get them out! I''ll carry Eric!
Hey, Diane, you''re hurt pretty bad yourself, so take it easy!
''Yes! We''ll carry the two of you!
I didn''t know these guys, my fellow hunters, would be worried about me.
But like they said, I''m still going to be wobbly.
Eric''s muscles are getting stronger and heavier, so if I were to carry him now, it would be a disaster if he fell down.
It can''t be helped.....
''''Then I''ll carry Tina! You two carry Eric!
Even I can carry at least light Tina-chan now.
''''Eh........Dian-san, did you have that kind of hobby?''''
''''Mr. Dian, with such a beautiful wife, it''s not possible.......''''
''You''ve got to be kidding me! Do you want to die?
"I''m sorry!
When I shout out in a fit of pique, they immediately apologize.
f*ck, of course I''m the only one who''s going to be Serena.
I lift Tina into a side hug.
Light ...................I let this little girl use her magic until she passed out.
As I walk into the village, a fellow hunter from behind tucks his body under Eric''s arm and carries it with two people supporting him.
But--.
I finally calm down and start to think about something I''ve been wondering about for a bit.
Why was Eric acting as if he knew that a horde of demons was coming and that this man was coming?
The same goes for the wall that surrounded the entire village in all directions.
You could never prepare for something like this if you didn''t know in advance.
Eric was gone during the birthday party in the village and was already over here fighting when the horde of demons swept in.
If we didn''t know the direction of the demon horde''s arrival, we wouldn''t be able to deal with them that quickly.
What does Eric know........?
