Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 33 - Sanctuary
"Ahh, I haven't had time to ask about the benefits I got when I became a rank S Adventurer. But according to my estimation, it would be much better than rank A." I can only grumble when I walk down the streets of Cerida.
I had already left a while ago from the Adventurer Guild when Soraya left us. Of course with Cathy's safe accompaniment.
And now, I'm back from my disguise as Nier, back as Ren. And sure enough, I also covered myself.
I intend to return to the train, because time has shown increasingly late afternoon. Although our target reached Furyuun at night, but I want to enjoy an afternoon in Furyuun. Moreover, the distance from Cerida to Furyuun was not far.
"Uncle Kurls!" I ran over to the middle-aged man who was hooking the rope back to the horse.
Hearing my voice, Aina immediately jumped out of the carriage. He was wrapped in bandages, so he couldn't walk properly.
But he just ran here.
Therefore, he staggered a little and fell. It was fortunate that I was able to catch him before he actually fell to the ground.
"Welcome back, brother! Aina has been waiting for big brother for a long time!" he hugged me with a smile under the bandage that almost covered his left eye.
"Umm, like her I didn't go too long. What about your wounds? Besides, did Uncle Kurls do anything to you?" I stroked his head.
Uwahhh!!! Her hair is really soft! I know this very well! I want to keep petting her!
"No! Uncle Kurls took good care of me. My wound is also closed!" shouting pleased.
I smiled with relief. As I expected from Uncle Kurls! I'm so glad to hear that.
"Ah, welcome back, Mr. Ren. Forgive me for falling asleep when you came, please forgive me for my innocence." He said bow deep inside.
I looked behind him. It looked like a neat horse carriage, and a happy looking horse was parked there.
"No-no. You also need to rest, right? Besides, it seems like you are already familiar with Aina? I'm glad you took good care of her. I'm kind of wondering, before this, who did you bring before me?" I put my hands on my chin, trying to look like I was thinking.
"Before you, I was the driver of Young Master Bors, Young Master." Said bent.
("A-ah, is he?") Maybe my troubled expression was obvious, making Kurls laugh softly at this.
"Well! You called me "Young Master" again, yes! Well then," I jumped up to the horse carriage, and controlled the horse with ease.
"Come aboard! I want to get to Furyuun before it gets dark!" I yelled at Kurls to take her away.
"You can't change, can you?" Answer by shaking your head.
Aina just looked at us strangely.
We immediately set off after that, with two coachmen in front, and a carriage filled with Aina. Enough, no. It's weird, but I'm glad to be a coachman. The wind that came was very refreshing.
***
"Son Ren, you seem to have to get inside the carriage right now. Don't you remember what happened a few months ago?" Uncle Kurls brought up my previous trip here.
We were dismissed for carrying an empty train. After some explanation, we finally managed to leave.
"Ah, uhm okay." I immediately stopped the horse, then jumped down and got into the carriage.
What a fun trip. The road is not, indeed. But the scenery and the surrounding experience I had, it was so much fun.
We didn't feel like we were getting to fast, even though Cerida's distance from Furyuun wasn't far.
I walked into the carriage because there would be trouble if I stayed on top of the coachman's place.
"Oh yeah, I guess I haven't heard Aina's voice. Is he asleep?" I opened the door. It was Aina who was sleeping quietly.
Ahh, it feels so comfortable to see him sleeping like this.
But how else, I want to take care of the wound and remove the "Seal. I have to do it here, because later I'll be busy to do some business.
Besides, I'll ask Uncle Kurls to make or maybe find some noble clothes for him.
Because most likely, I will bring him to the Academy.
If I take her to the academy, I can only make two disguises, namely Aina as my brother or Aina as my servant.
I don't want to be stamped weird, so I'll avoid the second option as much as possible.
"Aena. Wake up. We'll be there soon." I patted her head gently.
Uhh, if I keep doing this, I'll get hooked to being able to touch her hair! It's even smoother than cotton!
Aina's hair, it's horrible!
"Hmm?" he growled softly when he heard me, then looked around.
Until he finally saw me, then his face looked panicked..
And a second later, he prostrated.
"I-I'm sorry, gentlemen! I-i'm te-sleep!! Please don't punish me!!" he screamed while stammering.
Oi oi! Who do you think I am? No, wait. Is this also one of the effects of trauma from his past? Was there anything in the past?
Oh yeah, I don't think I've seen the wound on his shirt? Is there anything?
"Don't cry. Now I am not your master. You are free now. Now you're following me as a traveling companion!" i. erusaha comforting him.
Whether in my past or present life, to be honest I'm not good at entertaining.
It even looks terrible.
But at least I tried, didn't I?
"Why-sister?" he lifted his face slowly, looking at me. Humm, it seems like his consciousness is starting to return.
"Ka"
"Wait on! We postpone whatever you want to do to me. Right now, I want to check your body." I said it, and his face flushed red, like it was about to explode.
A-Ahh, like her I misused the word.
"I-I didn't know that big brother actually had such a hobby. But if sister's begging-" she starts taking off her top clothes.
"No, I'm sorry. My fault. I mean, I want to heal your wounds." I tried to die flat-faced to hide the shame.
Skill [Poker Face] thank you!!!
"So?" uhh, this kid. He still asks!
"Wear your dress song. It's starting to get horrible." I'm still trying to keep a flat face. Hufft, at least, I made it through this.
Aina also immediately put on her clothes that had been slightly down. I have to underline this. Just slightly! Yep!
"So, brother prefers the big ones huh?" he mumbled slowly.
"Ahh, noisy! Fuck that, I'll start to heal you!" now I really can't help myself not answering.
Luckily, my face was still able to hold on like it was in the beginning!
Alright. Now, I need magic that can bring back any wound to before. This is magic that should be able to restore even body parts.
In this world, healing magic could only seal ordinary wounds, stop bleeding, or most powerfully remove diseases.
Actually, I don't even understand how healing magic can cure diseases. Honestly, that's weird.
But I once read, a great healing magic capable of restoring lost body parts. But clearly, that magic did not exist in this world right now, and was considered a mythical magic.
It was even said that the magic could only be performed by Heroes from other worlds.
Even so, I can make it back.
I know the structure of man, and what constitutes it. So I wish I could do it.
In other words, Aina was my first experiment.
"Alright, Aina. I'll start it!" I said a little loud. I tried to focus on exerting my light magic towards Aina.
("Hopefully this works!") I can only hope so.
But a second later, a very bright light appeared. Even I thought it was a nebula explosion that reached my hand!
Obviously it surprised me, even a bright light to the point of penetrating out the carriage, made the horse yell.
Uncle Kurls stopped the train immediately.
"What happened, young master?!!" yelled Uncle Kurls as he looked up into the carriage. To be honest, I am still blind right now, until even the whole world feels white!
Did I die again because of my magic?
But after a while, I didn't hear any more Kurls's voice. She silent? And a few seconds later, I managed to get my vision back.
"Uncle Kurls? Ai-aina?!!" I can't help but yell for this!!
Bandages began to descend from his head, and the slightly lost ears had already begun to return. Some of the horrible scratches on his face had already disappeared. I don't know with the bandage-covered wound in his hand, but I hope it's the same as the one on his head.
(Ket: Yes Yes Author knows this character from JP light novels, but Aina is actually inspired by him. And the author can't draw himself :D)

I really can't say a word. Same with uncle Kurls who had fallen silent earlier. Because indeed, the entire lost body was returned back, and all of Aina's injuries disappeared!
"Young master, I don't know what you're doing, but it looks like you're doing something crazy!" Kurls praised my half-little.
I just can't react with that.
"Why-sister?" Aina didn't know what to do. And that's a natural reaction.
It's a terrible magic.
I'll call it, [Sanctuary]
