Chapter 419: Don’t Get The Wrong Idea, This Is Just Treatment (Please Subscribe!)

However, compared to calling them weapons, Izay preferred to refer to them as guardians.

After personally interacting with them, Izay was now certain. These girls indeed possessed bodies and minds akin to those of human maidens. They undoubtedly harbored emotions such as hope, fear, gratitude, aspiration, and despair within their hearts.

Even in the face of certain death, they were willing to cast aside their lives to fight for the protection of the floating continents.

Those who arbitrarily defined these pure and kindhearted maidens as “weapons” were truly not worth a damn!

Moreover, Izay remembered that the Gold Sprites seemed to have some deficiencies in their souls, though he didn’t yet know the specifics. This would likely require a thorough examination to reach a conclusion.

With this thought in mind, he proposed to Laentoluca and the others.

“If you don’t mind, would you let me take a look at you and treat you? My medical skills are actually quite strong.”

In all of Orario, his skill ranked second but aimed for first~

“I have no objections. Do whatever you want, Izay. Anyway, I probably can only sell myself to you since I won’t be able to pay back my debts in the future.”

The more outgoing Nafude lay on the bed like a dried fish, waving her hand while even cracking jokes.

Upon hearing this, Izay also smiled. “That’s fine too. You can work off your debts for life following me. I can provide three meals and accommodation.”

“To repay a single treatment with a lifetime of debt, you’re really ruthless, aren’t you!?”

“Eh? Didn’t I save your life before? Aren’t you going to repay that?”

“That was your fault in the first place! And Lafu and I were the victims! We didn’t even bother to hold you accountable because you made up for it just in time~”

Well, there’s nothing to say against that.

Izay slightly shrugged his shoulders and moved closer to Nafude. “Then turn over and lie down first. I’ll check you out with magic.”

The two beds hadn’t been separated yet; just moving them slightly allowed them to get closer. The previous dinner was eaten on Izay’s portable small table, which had now been put away along with the bowls and chopsticks.

“Okay~”

Nafude obediently changed from lying like a dried fish to being prone with a flop.

“Isn’t this too much trouble for you…”

Laentoluca sat cross-legged like a duck, placing her hands between her legs. Her playful skirt mischievously flipped up, revealing a glimpse of her slender calves wrapped in black stockings.

The blue-haired girl squirmed uncomfortably, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Long-term use of magical power damages the body. For every Gold Sprite, this is an excruciating experience. It feels as if their bodies are constantly being heavily crushed. Almost every Gold Sprite after adulthood suffers from this problem and worries about it.

Perhaps this “adventurer” from another world, who is also part of a deity’s familial group, might really have a way to heal this magical damage.

To say she doesn’t want to treat this injury would feel false to Laentoluca herself. Facing such a rare opportunity, naturally, from the perspective of the maiden’s inner longing, she was unwilling to let it slip away.

Not only unwilling to let it go, she even had thoughts of bringing Izay home and introducing him to her other companions, especially the other three adult sprite companions.

But for the quiet girl who loves reading…she always tends to be reserved inside.

After all, they’ve known Izay for less than a day. Such a short period makes it hard for the young lady to open up and accept his kindness.

The more she thinks about it, the more she feels indebted, fearing that she won’t be able to repay him in the future!

Yet, even so close, Izay couldn’t figure out what the young lady was thinking inside, so he almost disregarded Laentoluca’s words.

“Not troublesome at all. Magic is quite convenient. This kind of magical damage to the body has similar cases where we come from, and there are even special medicines. Once I understand the situation, treatment will be simple.”

—This is a lie~

The fact is, Izay had already fully understood the details of Laentoluca and the others’ injuries.

The medical knowledge he learned from Miss Amide, the battlefield saintess, wasn’t wasted. Izay’s medical skills ranking second but aiming for first in Orario certainly weren’t just reliant on magic.

He himself possessed a solid foundation of medical knowledge.

And such an Izay intended to examine Laentoluca and the others to try using magic to understand the issues with the Gold Sprites’ souls.

Unlike wounds, the soul isn’t something easily probed.

First, the one being examined must have no guard against the examiner. Then, one must possess the ability to perceive the soul and analyze it.

If it were Izay before receiving the “Seed of Life” and the “Seed of Divinity,” he would likely be powerless in this situation.

But now, having received the two miraculous seeds…

Izay undoubtedly had the qualification.

Having spoken to this extent, Laentoluca also discarded her reserve. After taking two deep breaths, she followed Nafude and lay prone before Izay.

“Th-then… please help me…”

The girl buried her head in the pillow, unable to meet anyone’s eyes.

Looking at the two maidens lying before him, Izay coughed twice into his hand.

“Hmm, then… first… take off your clothes…”

“Eh—!? Do we have to take off our clothes!?”

“It’s necessary to observe the condition of the wounds properly!”

“O-okay…”

(Just think of Izay as a female nurse with a lizard head! Don’t be shy, Laentoluca, you can do it!)

The maiden consoled herself internally.

As for Nafude beside her… the little girl was extremely cooperative, leaving Izay somewhat at a loss.

Is she really thinking of giving herself to me because she can’t repay her debts?

Laentoluca also looked at Nafude with newfound respect.

What they didn’t know was that beneath Nafude’s seemingly cheerful exterior, her goodwill towards Izay was inexplicably high.

Without discussing the reasons, the fact remains that Izay saved her life.

Powerful strength, good looks, mysterious foreigner identity, and even excellent cooking skills?

What reason is there not to like him?

Especially his stories—or rather, personal experiences—are far better than the storybooks on the floating continents!

People with open hearts tend to have straightforward minds.

……

The process of treating the body, due to various reasons, cannot be described here.

After all, Izay was merely using the maidens’ bodies to perceive matters concerning their souls, essentially doing nothing out of line.

At most, when using magic to treat their wounds, the overly warm and soothing magical energy caused both of them to involuntarily moan.

Nafude was still okay; she seemed ticklish, so she occasionally wriggled restlessly.

On Laentoluca’s side… the girl kept emitting inexplicably alluring sighs, even making Izay doubt whether he had done something inappropriate to her.

Her black-silken legs remained tense throughout, never relaxing. Her small toes, encased in stockings, scratched the sheets, and Izay had to sit on them to keep her still, presenting another form of difficulty.
