"Huhh.. thank God fortunately still had time, but..."
"Miss."
"Owh! how's Sira, are you done?" I asked Sira.
"Yes, the last one is dead from being pierced by your sword." He replied, returning to being a little tiger.
"Well, then I'd better get them out of that crystal wall." I said as I walked closer to the crystal protector I made.
I was really very relieved that I still had time to kill the monster and managed to save those human girls from the monster attack, he said, a few moments after that Sira then came towards me and turned back into her little tiger form, since we had gathered together I then walked up to the crystal wall I had previously made to protect the human girls.
"Hm.. This isn't monster blood.... uh! are they hurt?!" I said worriedly while staring at the blood spots on the bushes.
Crack
Crass
It turns out they were hurt...
"W-are you guys okay?" ask them.
" ... " " ... " " ... "
Are they that scared of me?
As I approached the crystal protector where the human girls were located I smelled the scent of blood scattered around me and sure enough there were many blood spots visible on the bushes as well as on the leaves of the forest grass, at first I thought that it was the blood of the monster I had killed before, but the scent of blood I smelled was very different from the blood of the monster and it even smelled from within the protective wall I made.
I then pointed my hand forward and smashed the protective crystal and sure enough the three of them were injured, but the three of them actually looked very frightened when they saw me, they were even endlessly trembling as they looked at me standing before him, they were holding each other with one leading man who looked extremely trembling in fear and even nearly shedding his tears by holding his comrade's hands together.
The three of them were like people who were being cornered by a creepy monster and could not go anywhere and could no longer do anything about it, they were cornered between the trunk of the tree behind them and me in front of them, I felt bad for making them uncomfortable near me, especially to such a degree of fear.
"What are you/"
"J-don't hurt us, j-don't kill us." Say one of them.
"Eh! t-quiet me-I can't possibly do that/" I said a little closer to them.
"Hiks.. forgive us. forgive us.. hiks..do not mind us." shouted the front girl while looking down.
It seemed that it was impossible to talk, they were extremely frightened.
"Heal... alright how? did it feel better?" ask them.
" ... "
I see, it seems like this is an inappropriate moment huhh...
"You'll be safe through there and I'm sorry to scare you." I said while pointing my hand to the left.
.
.
Akh!!
"Are you okay, miss?"
"Yes sure."
When I wanted to question their situation once again, suddenly the girl on the left was stammering at me while looking at me with a tense and frightened look, not least with his two comrades who were only silent while holding his head did not dare to look at me, whereas I was not such an evil person I slowly walked up to them to calm down and dispel this misunderstanding.
But when I approached even the front girl who also asked for forgiveness to me while continuing to cry and bow her head while the girl on the right was just speechless and only visible resigned to his condition, no words came out of their mouths except a request for mercy so as not to be hurt, but I only wanted to help and treat them, I have no intention of hurting them.
Not wanting to make them even more afraid I then treated all their injuries then raised my hand to the left showing them a safe forest exit, but even so they still had a frightened expression staring at me, after which they then ran back quickly in the direction I pointed at it without even looking back.
"Sira..."
"Yes, miss?"
"Go and protect them to safety."
"A-are you sure?"
"Yes, I'll be waiting over there." I said as I walked in the opposite direction to them.
.
.
"Ugh!! the chain is already active.. hahh..want how else."
Even though I had shown them the safe way and there was no movement of monsters, I was still worried about the situation of the girls so I sent Sira to escort them to safety, although I did not get to know them, but I was happy to be able to help him even though the payment of my body would feel pain again because it had used my magic power.
After commanding Sira I then left her in the opposite direction to them, but still headed towards the large street I had seen from above as I was flying before, the road was a forked road while they went to the left road I took the right road of course because I didn't want to scare them anymore.
"It hurts a lot. My throat feels dry, I hope there's water around here."
.
.
"Whoah! that's road! can I get good stuff hehehe." I said as I walked to the side of the road.
I continued to walk in the direction of the path I took with little regard for the condition of the chain around my neck, even though it was so very difficult to pretend not to feel it even my throat felt dry because my body felt so hot from this chain, she said, long enough to walk I finally saw the edge of the forest in front of me which means I have reached the road that I am headed.
Deg
"S-after d-thought-out I'd better find a place to rest first."
Ugh! this is so unpleasant.
This street is not as crowded as I thought after I arrived here the road is very quiet and the appearance of this road is also not as modern as in my mind, this road is just an ordinary dirt road that is slightly dusty and not covered with paved more similar to the path in the forest only with a larger size and spacious, more,
On this road there is no sight of people or caravans of merchants passing by as far as the eye can see all I see is an empty street and of course it is because there is a bend in front of me so I can only see just a few meters ahead of me hehehe.
Another case with the road behind me that looks very long and far away, but still I can not see any people passing by this place is very quiet and also quiet, but still, I was planning to go for a while around this place while waiting for a merchant caravan to pass by on this road, but unfortunately I had to undo it because suddenly my body felt even more pain.
"I'd better rest there."
.
.
"Wahh.. The grass here is very soft, it's very comfortable." I said while leaning against the tree trunk.
Since my body was already sick enough I then went back into the forest to find a good place to rest in peace, and before long I sat down on the bush grass leaning against a tree trunk trying to ease the pain a little, even though it would never lessen.
Wuss
"This place is very comfortable."
Cling Cling
"Owh!! isn't this the spirit light last night!? why are they here, this place is so far away..."
...*****...
"Hoahhh... loh... did I fall asleep? ekh!! it hurts!!" I said while holding my neck.
" ... " °-°
.
.
"Eh! S-sira I-when are you here?"
As I was sitting leaning back I felt a gentle breeze blowing through my body and blowing my hair until it suddenly unraveled in front of me popping back quite a lot of spirit light, some of the spirit light surrounded me and some were just as silent as the stars in the night sky, and a moment later I suddenly felt a pretty heavy drowsiness and then finally fell asleep soundly there.
I don't know how long I slept I felt a little surprised by that, but my astonishment was immediately covered by the pain that came back to pounce on me and while being a little moaning my eyes suddenly fell on Sira who was already beside me.
And with our bewildered gazes silent as we stared at each other without speaking until I was finally really surprised to see his presence near me, my reflexes a little less good if in this state.
Aaa... Sira must have heard me earlier, I must have been caught.
"Maybe a few minutes ago." The answer.
"Anu."
"Y-yes what's up Sira."
"What you/"
"Owh huh Sira b-how do k-the circumstances of those people? have you taken them to a safe place?" I cut his words while asking.
"Yes my lady has followed and made sure their safety is in a safe place, but miss." he replied.
"Y-yes what's wrong?"
"Have you used magic a lot?" askinya.
" ... "
I slightly shifted the conversation by asking the condition of the previous people so that Sira would not worry about me, at first it did go well, indeed, but after Sira asked me about how often I used my power I just fell silent unable to answer it, not because I did not have an Answer to that question, but if Sira asks like that means she already knows about my current situation and means I can no longer cover it up.
I only used my magic a few times, even though it was completely overwhelmed with this chain and the effect would not disappear as easily as turning the palm of the hand.
"As long as it is not too far away, do not use magic too often and you should temporarily do not need to use magic power." Said me.
"So you know Sira?" I said with a little look down at the grass.
"It's a little too late for me to notice, but your gestures are a little suspicious miss."
"You're a good person, but don't make excuses for your kindness to hurt yourself." Reciprocity.
"Yahh, you may be right, but I don't use it very often, fighting golems, remodeling houses, holding back turtles, and saving those people, I thought of hiding this condition from you, I thought of hiding it from you, because I don't want to worry you.I'm a big liar I used to lie to the people around me with this smile, yahh... but it turns out my lie is too stale to do." I smiled with a slight tear.
"As a subordinate to worry it's a natural thing miss."
" ... hiks."
"Eh! a-anu m-sorry miss s-it looks like I've gone overboard."
"It's okay hiks..thank you Sira..."
I can only be honest with him because there is nothing else I can hide from Sira he already knows my lies, and without me realizing I was also telling the truth about myself in the past before I was reincarnated, remembering that it all reawakened the sadness I had harbored to be able to live a quiet and happy life, in the end I could only cry silently as the memories of the past returned vividly in my head.
