Isekai Shoukan chapter 54: Ignoring strategy
Just after finding the dragon human town, I utter a cry in order to tell the two of what I have found.
It’s evening now. The sun has begun to set and change into pale yellow by the clouds that intersect and the vicinity is dyed deep red.
When I was in the devil king's castle the time was still daytime, however, I couldn't look around the devil’s territory or the vicinity of Ragishisu kingdom because of the sudden transfers.
Judging from the results and considering the state of the unconscious Kaede, I concluded that it was necessary to go to the town before night falls.
“Tifa, Edith!! There is a town on the other side. Although I can't tell if the town is in ruins or if there are people currently living in that town. Either way, let's go to the town.”
I gently stroke Tifal´s head while she is still clinging to me before I broke free of her hug the moment she turned her arm behind and ran up to Kaede.
Her usual clear eyes――Tifal throws a glance at me, heads to Kaede's side, and released an overpowering impression.
Without interfering with that business, I ran up to Kaede who is lying on the floor, lifted her neck from where weeds grew on the left side and drooped to the ground and move her mouth against my ear to confirm if she was breathing.
She is unconscious. When Tifal told me about her condition, a sense of doubt never occurred to me, but I couldn't settle down and it’s making me worry if I don't confirm it myself.
From her mouth at my ear, she breathes in and out in small quantities, judging from her warm body temperature that I felt on my left hand that was supporting her neck which gives me a sense of security that is spreading in my chest, informing me that she is okay.
I, who confirmed the safety of Kaede made my right hand slip into both of her knees vulgarly――a chill ran through my spine the moment I tried to do a princess carrying with Kaede and bring her to Edith´s side thinking that she can heal Kaede.
I was glancing at Kaede's face cautiously while making awkward movements after hearing a *Gigigi* sound. Tifal who was a few meters away from us puffed her cheeks a little and seems to be in a bad mood as she throws short glances at us as if she wants to kill us with her eyes.
Looking at others with jealousy means that that person is an insensitive guy or a fool who knows nothing.
I remembered what she said some time ago.
Since I came back from the remote continent, half a year has passed. Tifal injured her foot because of the combat with the demon, at that time she wasn't able to move freely and without a second thought, I carried her like a princess.
At that time, as usual, she was teasing me, pressing her chest, and looking forward towards my reactions, there was only her, she was having fun as she did it skillfully, but somehow, she blushes and showed me her puppy eyes before she was mumbling something, and past events happened to float in my mind.
That may be something related to awareness! I, who succeeded in averting the worst case scenario went to Edith´s side.
After I ignored Tifal´s silent overpowering aura and carried Kaede like a princess, I directly go the road of ruin although it might be a bit of a grotesque spectacle because it spreads and ruins the image of the surrounding region.
“Hey, Edith!! Can you also treat Kaede?”
“Hmm? Ah, impossible, impossible. My magic power is already insufficient for healing. ......Ah, but I have a great idea!! You only have to let this girl drink a potion!! Hey, you said that you are childhood friends, so for a moment there you two sure are close, do you guys have an intimate relationship? Permission to laugh!!”
Edith takes out an acid-green-like potion from her bosom while saying so and showed it off.
Edith´s hearing ability is dangerous as usual. The conversation between me and Tifal was caught by habit when she was fighting the devil king. Ah, Edith was in the frame of a pervert who jumps over a person as far as that goes.
“Making her drink? How? Kaede is unconscious, that would be impossible......"
It seemed that Edith understood it, but I, who has no clue on what is going at all left me in awe and I asked with such a tone. Edith who saw me said "Haa, I guess it’s bad......", while uplifting laughter through her nose.
“Scrap your ear hole and listen!! You know what......the best way to make an unconscious person drink the potion......that is......mouth to mouth feeding!! Ah, there is no need for hesitation that is because it's a legal medical practice!! It is like artificial respiration!! Therefore, kiss her quickly, cough!!”
At the time Edith talks, I couldn’t blink properly and my body stiffened just from the mere thought of feeding the potion to Kaede by mouth-to-mouth.
While Edith is talking fluently like she is arguing with someone, Tifal grasped her right fist as hard as she can until she felt the limit that is suddenly drummed into her stomach――she was one step away from faint due to the agony that she received but her state changed quickly.
“Hey, pervert......what kind of worthless ideas are you recommending? Iori, let’s leave this pervert alone, in the meantime, let's go to the town you mentioned a short while ago quickly, okay?”
I was getting worried of Tifal´s overpowering aura and smile before I nodded and agreed to answer with "......Ah, yes".
Although Tifal expressed a short disapproval when I shoulder Kaede so that she may ride on my back as we tried to advance to the 『Dragon human town - Dollinger』, a shrill soprano voice affects the near region.
“He, Heeeelllllppppp!!! Someonee!! Someooonnee!!”
Suddenly a loud voice reached my ear and I looked around in various directions for the owner of this voice. And when I looked up at the sky, I saw a boy with darkish green skin and two horns grasped by a huge monstrous bird.
However, I didn’t act immediately and decided to think for a few seconds about the future if we involve ourselves of this mysterious bird before I searched for it with my eyes again for the location.
“......Good, shall we head for the town?”
This occurrence was done through normally. This style which doesn't poke its nose into any unnecessary problems.
This is how I survived in the society as a long time loner. A skill of the strongest invincibility with several results in my high school life. But because it's too troublesome, there is no meaning of doing it.
This is......a rational judgment!!
Once I move, the situation will escalate and it will cause it to be more troublesome......that is only a possibility......therefore......I’ll make it sure that they won’t see it
――――A passing strategy.
I´m shouldering Kaede as if it was nothing, while Tifal and Edith left already and started to advance forward.
