Chapter 14
Novels
It was the second time that I was visiting this town .
There were a lot of people walking down the road, but I shouldnt drop my speed .
Like Rose said, I needed to get used to running around people .
Nevertheless, Ill probably get a lot of stares from others while running around town and carrying Bluerin on my shoulders .
Normally, the people in town should be scared of Bluerin because hes a monster . Yet for some reason, instead of being afraid, they seemed to be giving an again huh look every time they saw me .
I wonder why were not causing a commotion . Right, Bluerin?
To the others, my appearance should be strange . After all, Im wearing a weird training vest and sitting on top of me was a big bear .
If it was me, I would definitely report this .
Although Im conscious of the fact that Im calling myself strange .
Well, I guess its better if theres no commotion . That way, I can concentrate .
The town was quite large Ive been here once before, yet I cant help but run on the main street where people live rather than in the alleyways . The reason was that in case I got lost, I could use the large castle as a landmark to guide me .
Nevertheless, there were a lot of shops here . A lot of the fruits that I fed to Bluerin in the morning were being sold here, I wonder if theyre a specialty here . Ill ask Tong afterwards to see .
Hey .
The last time I passed here I only took a few side glances but this time I noticed a fragrant smell in the air .
I peeked inside the street stall while I was running; they were selling peculiar-shaped food inside and they were much different in shape compared to food in my former world .
Haa Haa Wa it
At any rate, what was going on?
For some time now, Ive been hearing a voice . It seemed like it was gradually getting closer to me, it appears were separated at a distance . It might be because Im running but still, it was odd for someone to approach me .
Is someone trying to call out to me?
Having my doubts, I took a look behind
Geho Haa Haa Wait, you there
Separated by 10 meters, there was a slender male who collapsed due to using up all his strength .
I was dumbfounded at the sight in front of me but Bluerins cry helped me return to my senses . I went up to meet the other party halfway .
Putting Bluerin down for a moment, I placed the palm of my hand on the mans back and poured healing magic into him .
Are, are you okay?
Cough Finally You noticed
This person seemed to want something from me .
While using healing magic, I raised my body up .
The thin man who had a pale face showed an apologetic expression and raised his body as well .
He had blonde hair and was fairly handsome . However, he seemed to have a very unfortunate look from the shadow of his appearance .
It seemed like he was still feeling unwell, we should return to the main street for now . From there, I found a wooden box for him to sit on .
How are you feeling?
No, its just Sorry
I dont particularly mind . You have some business with me?
He seemed to have settled down a lot, a lot of vigor had returned to his face . The man, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head with his hand .
Well~, looks like I ended up being greeted by my kouhai .
Kouhai you say
Huh? You didnt hear it from leader-san?
Kouhai? The only senpais that came to mind in the Rescue Squad after entering this world were Tong and them .
That scary bunch werent suited to be called senpai though .
If that was so, this person is Ah .
Youre a healing magician apart from me and leader!
Hahaha, leader-san . It seems like she didnt explain much about us . Well then, I should introduce myself . Im a Rescue Squad member, Olga Fleur, by the way Im 23 years old . Id be happy if you just call me Olga without reserve .
My name is Usato . I recently joined the Rescue Squad . I look forward to working with you, Olga-san .
This person could use healing magic just like me .
From what Rose told me, this person wouldnt be in charge of the front lines but rather be supporting from the back .
Sorry, Im disturbing you while youre training . I walked here to buy pharmaceutical drugs when suddenly I spotted a Rescue Squad member carrying a Blue Grizzly cub on their back . . Whats more, it was a face I didnt recognize . Thats why I thought it might be that newcomer that I heard about from before .
I see, so thats how it is Nn? How do you know Im someone in the Rescue Squad?
Being able to see that I was a strange person carrying a bear was understandable, however, that shouldnt give any hints to my relations with the Rescue Squad .
How did they know?
Hahaha, thats because of the clothes youre wearing . This training uniform is special because only the Rescue Squad members are permitted to wear it . On the uniform, there should be a green embroidery on it right?
Eh? Ah, yeah there is one .
A green flower was sown on the trousers near my thighs .
Ive never really thought much about it but it seemed that Olga-san was able to tell I was part of the Rescue Squad because of this .
Incidentally, around this area is where Tong and the others usually run . The townspeople are quite used to it now .
I see, thats why they arent too astonished when they see me and Bluerin
Although I would be eaten if I tried bringing along a Blue Grizzly cub with me Hahaha .
I ran this much in town already and I wondered why someone carrying a bear wasnt having much impact . Well well, the mystery is solved now .
Bluerin was looking at me while I was making a strange expression . I gently petted him, and then I looked towards Olgas direction .
He was showing a smile towards me and then he opened his mouth,
Even so, its really surprising . To be able to go along with leader-sans grueling training that is . We couldnt accompany it at all you know .
No no, Im desperate too thats why Nn? We, meaning, youre referring to the other person who can use healing magic right?
Thats right, its my imouto thats 5 years younger than me . Instead of participating in the training, were running a clinic .
It was a pair of siblings that were able to use healing magic huh . Ones aptitude for magic seemed to run close in the family .
Ooh, brother and sister is it
But its not like were not in the Rescue Squad anymore . Whenever an emergency arises, we return to the leader-sans side and treat the injured .
I see now, in exchange for not participating in the training, they helped with diagnosis and treatment around town . When a war happens, their role was to heal allies in the rear . It looked like this person had thought out various things already .
However, Olga-san should be a healing magician just like me . Why was he unable to heal himself when he was chasing after me?
Olga-san, could it be that you cant heal your own body?
Ah, about that, healing myself has never been my strong point . Conversely, healing others is my specialty . Even so, my body being weak is the reason why leader-sans training isnt suited for me Its a different reason for my sister, however .
So thats the case
There seemed to be individual differences between what could be done with magic and what couldnt be done .
If I have time to spare later on, I would like to go see Olga-san and his imoutos clinic .
Carrying Bluerin on my back, I stood up .
Well, I should be getting back to training now . It would be best if Olga-san rested for a while longer .
Sorry for disturbing you, Usato-kun .
Not at all, I was glad to be able to talk with you, Olga-san .
I shouldnt rest for too long .
The reason was because Ill get scolded but it was also because I want to take my training seriously .
Ah, theres just one more thing .
Yes?
Olga-san called out to me and I turned back to look at him, his face was no longer smiling but was instead replaced with a very serious expression .
I want you to not hate Rose-san too much . That person is quite violent but how should I say it Theyre clumsy and awkward, thats why
From this point on, they changed from calling leader-san to Rose-san, which means they are likely referring to Rose as an individual person and not her role as a leader . If thats the case, my answer was already decided .
Its alright . From the beginning, Ive never hated her! Then, see you on another occasion!!
She was a strict, violent, kichiku leader but for some reason I didnt have any feelings of hate towards her .
Although I have one or two things to say to her about when she threw me in that forest If it wasnt for that, I wouldnt have met Bluerin so I guess its acceptable .
But with regards to the Grand Grizzly, that was unfortunate
However, thinking about what would have happened if that snake in the forest came out to attack the kingdom, I felt shivers running down my spine .
Thinking of it like that, maybe it was a good thing after all .
While facing forward, I ran .
If I make another turn around the castle, I should be able to see Kazuki and senpai at this time . It has been a while since Ive seen their faces, I should go see them .
But wouldnt it be bad to take Bluerin inside of the castle?
*
While looking at the scene of the boy running and shouldering the Blue Grizzly, I was lost in my own emotions .
A healing magician thats the same type as leader-san, hes that kind of boy
He wasnt a healing magician like me who was a specialty type, but rather a well-balanced type . Actually, I had no complaints about the effects of the healing magic he casted on me .
I was still only in my twenties, but I felt a little moved .
While sitting on the wooden box that Usato-kun prepared for me, I looked up towards the sky .
It seems youve finally found it leader-san You wont be deployed on the battlefield just by yourself next time you know .
Onii-chan .
It appears my imouto has come .
Regardless of how worried you are, there was no need to show such a frantic expression Truly, such a troublesome imouto .
Onii-chan! Youve been out by yourself for the entire day, do you want to die!?
Im not that weak of a person you know!?
Eh? But, its onii-chan after all .
What was with that way of talking? Naturally treating my existence like it was weak Wasnt that cruel?
No no, I shouldnt pay too much attention to it . I should talk to my cute imouto about the recent encounter I just had .
Leaving that aside, I met an interesting child today you know .
Yeah?
You should try meeting them once too .
From now on, there will surely be interesting things in store to look forward to .
Shiru: I noticed some of my tenses were off at times so I went back to earlier chapters (1-6) to scan for all of them but gave up half-way due to lack of time . Majority of people would hardly notice them so instead, Ill be more cautious of them from now on .
Also, I think most people know what these terms mean since reading Web Novels is quite niche but in case you dont know:
Kouhai - Junior
Imouto - Little sister
Onii-chan - Big brother
*There can be various different forms and such, blah blah
I will try to stick to certain indigenous terms to not break the immersion . Certain Japanese terms just cant be accurately conveyed in the same meaning in English . :c
