156.Tell Me Your Wish (11)
After all, the best healer in the world.
I was amazed to see the burn marks that had completely disappeared.
“John…Was it necessary to fight so dangerously?”
“That’s right!”
“Sometimes you have to risk your life to be safe.”
“But if you act so recklessly, I can’t help but worry…”
“I’m sorry.”
I never once thought I would die in my fight with the Twin Head Ogre. It’s just a test illusion, and if you get hit, you’ll be knocked out the most.
Still, it wasn’t a good thing to worry Karina, so I apologized to her. After hearing my apology, Karina sighed and said.
“Don’t do that next time. Then again, you won’t treat me next time?”
“Make sure to keep this in mind.”
At Karina’s threat, I lowered my tail. There is no guarantee that I will keep those words 100%, but I also know that my body is precious. The only reason I rushed in this time was because I had solid insurance called Karina.
If I hadn’t had Karina, I would have dealt with her in a safer way.
For example, pour water only on the head to blow out the fire and then stick a shovel in it.
…Actually, isn’t that more dangerous?
I stood up and warmed up with some simple exercises. It was probably because my body was sore because I had been lying on the bare floor for a long time. Everyone in my group looked at me stretching with a tired look, and tilted their heads.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s about relaxing the body. “When your body becomes stiff, you need to loosen it up like this so there is less strain on your muscles when you move your body.”
I don’t know the exact effect, but I roughly remembered it. Louis, who was sitting on the floor and resting, seemed to be impressed by what I said and jumped up and started imitating my movements.
“Is this how you do it?”
“Yes.”
“I definitely feel my body relaxing!”
“I want to do it too!”
It’s good that it’s effective, but… I couldn’t help but feel strange when the girls started to follow suit, subtly watching.
The sight of people with colorful hair doing manual exercises for the Armed Forces was so strange that it felt so bizarre.

“Is it the second floor now?”
“Viola, are there any reagents left?”
“About half? Write it. We need to come up with some non-expendable means of attack. “There is a limit to the amount of reagents you can carry.”
“Still, I think it’s strong because its firepower is at the highest level of level 4 magic!”
“Shuri, it’s still not at the level of magic. Should I change the formula a bit to increase the firepower, or should I turn to potions…”
“Miss Viola, how about changing the bottle to a smaller one with more explosive power? Even if it’s only level 4 magic, it wouldn’t be bad for an explorer.”
“Oh, that’s right… “
“Is that so?”
Ignoring the chatter of my companions, I opened the entrance door leading down to the second floor. The door opened without any resistance, exposing us to the dark insides.
“Let’s stop chatting and go down now.”
The group quickly got ready at my words and started walking down the path to the second floor. But this time there was something a little different.
“Karina. “I’m sorry, but I think I need to hug you for a moment.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can go down those stairs in a wheelchair. Millia. You fold the wheelchair and carry it.”
“Was it foldable?”
“Yes.”
Does it make sense that there is no folding function in this day and age? I carefully picked up Karina.
“Well, that’s it. John. It’s a bit embarrassing…”
“I’m sorry, but there is no way.”
You can’t ask other kids to carry you down. Lewis was an exception from the beginning.
“Well, then please…”
I don’t know what Karina’s face looks like under the veil, but at least her body that I held was a little hot.
As Karina moved a little and adjusted her posture, a soft and fluffy feeling clung to her chest. Maybe it was because of her mood, but it felt as if the fresh scent of flowers was permeating her nostrils in a room full of burnt skin.
I spoke to the group of people who were staring at me, deliberately trying not to lower their gaze.
“Go first.”
“Oh, yes.”
We took the stairs to the second floor and started going down.
Fortunately, the path down to the second floor was not very long, so we soon arrived at a large hall filled with bright lights.
“It looks like a ballroom would be held.”
“What kind of damn b*stards are waiting for us here…”
“Miss Viola, you’d better not use profanity.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Well, something is ominous…”
As Elisa said, the spacious and clean hall implicitly had an ominous atmosphere. It’s so neat that it almost looks like something is sticking out.
“John, can you please drop me off…” ” ?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“No. You don’t have to be sorry. Uh, it’s something that can’t be helped… “
“Milia. “Please open the wheelchair.”
“I want to… “Yes!”
I think I just mumbled something. What happened?
I placed Karina in her wheelchair, which Milia had unfolded, and fastened her seat belt. Karina placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.
“Are you okay?”
“…Ah yes. Yes. Are you okay. Okay, let’s go quickly.”
If so.
We moved straight into the hall. The hall with its large chandelier was peaceful in itself, but if you look closely, there was a very light fog creeping in from somewhere.
“What is this place doing?”
“Since the twin-headed ogre appeared on the first floor, it wouldn’t be surprising if something bigger than that came out…”
“Um, can we win?”
[Contractor, the kids were completely scared?]
It’s worth being scared. Twin Head Ogre is a very powerful and rare monster that is difficult to find even if you spend a lifetime exploring. But suddenly the gatekeeper pops out from the first floor of the secret library?
Did the first principal suffer from dementia in his later years?
Even if I receive the same criticism, I have nothing to say. Anyway, it’s not a twin-headed ogre. Ogre.
If it weren’t for me, this party would have been completely destroyed.
If you were a 3rd grader, you probably would have had a hard time catching an ogre with 1st grade chicks at best.
If you’re just looking at ability, you could probably beat a second year student…
“Carina and Millia, please retreat towards the second floor entrance. This time, we will enter alone.”
“Huh! Don’t overdo it this time! “If you overdo it, he’ll get angry!”
Leaving behind Milia’s angry voice, we headed to the middle of the hall. There was no change until we reached the middle of the hall.
Still, up to this point, it’s the same as the original.
I turned around and looked at the young chicks who were looking around with anxious faces.
[Contractor, magic power is gathering-]
“…The sea I expected.”
In the direction where the exit was visible in the distance, the flow of magical power was gradually becoming stronger. It was a trend so frightening that even a country with limited magic skills could understand it.
I took out a shovel as I watched the second-floor gate slowly taking shape at the exit.
“Everyone ready for battle.”
Everyone held their weapons in unison at my words.
“When the gatekeeper appears, intercept him immediately.”
“It’s a structure where the second floor gate pops out, so what on earth is coming out…”
“Viola, don’t worry too much. No matter what you do, you won’t be stronger than the Twin Head Ogre.”
Even if the first principal was an archmage, he wouldn’t be powerful enough to pull something like that off. I held the shovel as I looked at the guy that was now half taking shape.
“Huh.”
Since it doesn’t work with physics, is it magic?
I am a golem made of countless books.
Among the bosses that can appear on the second floor, we were the most bothersome.
At first glance, the golem looked like it used some magic, and I instinctively knew that it was a more troublesome opponent than an ogre.
“A golem made of books… ?”
“You look weaker than an ogre… ?”
Since it was about half the size of an ogre and had an appearance made of books, it did not seem to give the impression of being strong. However, this is ultimately Andras’ plan, or rather, one of his plans, so he is by no means an easy opponent.
He definitely has the ability to screw over the students who come here.
“You cannot let your guard down. Lewis, be ready to intercept at any time.”
“I understand.”
“Wizards, prepare to deploy defensive magic.”
“Four!”
If I remember correctly, that guy’s first pattern was to fire wide-area magic.
After withstanding the first attack, Luis, I, and Viola rush in and immediately turn their attention. In the meantime, damage is accumulated through magic to consume the shield, and when the shield is broken, a high firepower spell is used to destroy it.
It was a standard strategy.
In the game, it was a gimmick where the physical dealer scratched the shield while the tank was taking all the damage, and the wizard destroyed the golem whose shield had disappeared, but in reality, there is no tank, so it is inevitable.< Br﹥
That was the moment when the battle was about to begin.
[Contractor, is something strange? I feel one more magical power-]
“What?”
The moment I heard those words, my instincts went off like crazy.
Something more dangerous has appeared.
“Hey, John! Oh, the golem is collapsing!”
“Everyone, prepare to run away if necessary. “I don’t know what might pop out-“
…Huh?
“Meow.”
What are you?
You’re the one who jumps out from the third floor.
“…It’s a cat.”
A sigh of despair was heard from behind.
We were speechless as we saw the cat wearing a pointed hat sitting on top of the collapsed golem and clapping its paws.
“Meow.”
Andras’ familiar, Kiki, looked at us as if she was bored.
