Haku the Healer

After a short break, Shion explained everything to Mei, who stayed inside.

“Granpa is in another country. I’ll find him, I promise”

“…Mei can’t come with you?”

“Yes. I want you to stay here. Of course, I’ll find someone to take care of you while I’m gone”

Although her abilities are powerful, she is still a child. Shion decided that it would be better not to involve her in a harsh conflict with a cunning opponent in the future.

“…Understand. I believe you. You have to bring Granpa back”

“I promise. In return, Mei will use her power to help those in need. Don’t use it for bad things. Okay?”

“Yeah, promise!”

They shake hands and make firm promises. The honesty of her upbringing allowed Shion to determine that her grandfather was a decent man.

Both of them walked around town and take care of the injured people.

While he was at it, Shion asked the priest, who seemed to be a good man, to take care of Mei.

When the situation finally settled, Shion consults Haku in the square.

“Jin was telling me that Imperial Capital has fallen into the hands of the demon tribe. …… What do you think?”

‘Hard to believe, honestly. Besides, there’s Arisan and others there, right?’

There are many excellent knights in the Imperial Capital of Valenciu. It was natural to think that it would be impossible for the city to fall easily, no matter how many demons there were.

‘Ah! Why don’t you just call them? You still got that device, right? The one given by the Elder of Elves I believe’

“Oh yeah! I’d forgotten all about it in all the commotion”

With the Ring of Summoning, you can call the person with whom you have contracted. Since he had contracted with Kuna, Punini, and the Elder, he chooses Kuna this time.

Put on the ring, let the magic flow, and call the person you wish to invoke.

“Kuna, come”

After a short pause, a long vertical oval black space appears. From there, Kuna emerges.

“What? W-w-w-what’s happen- wait…, Master?”

“Sorry, I had to call you by Ring of Summoning”

“So that’s what that was all about!”

“Let me ask you something… Imperial Capital didn’t fall, did it?”

Instantly, Kuna’s face crumples and she finally begins to cry.

“We were beaten. We controlled the riots of The Resistance, but then meteors started falling and demons came from the sky. …… The demons fell on us”

“You guys okay? How about Aria?”

“…Alive, but she collapsed due to exhaustion”

“Tell me more about the situation!”

Kuna speaks of the flow of events after the fall of the castle. The castle was attacked, but the demons were not so much interested in the inhabitants, but the treasures in the castle.

After taking almost everything, including weapons, they quickly retreated. Of course, many people were killed.

“The royalties were safe. …… Most of the victims are commoners. …… Also, the building is in shambles”

“Are they going to start a big war soon ……. No. Let’s leave it for now”

To keep the call within the 24-hour cap, Kuna end the call and teleported back to Imperial Capital[1].

‘Imma run super fast! Now hurry up and jump up here!’

“Haku’s back feels so soothing when you’re tired…”

Shion buries his face for a bit. It is warm and fluffy. Haku can change the hardness of the fur, so it must be soft on purpose.

‘{Healer Haku}, let’s make that my alias!’

When Haku gets serious, his power is extraordinary. Shion can rest assured and let him take charge along the way.

A short time after leaving town, Shion had a question he wanted to ask.

“If there was a way to bring someone back to life, would Haku use it?”

‘There’s a price to pay, isn’t there?’

“Sell your soul to Evil or something”

‘It is difficult! I do miss my dead family, that’s for sure. But now, strangely enough, I don’t miss them. Thanks to Shion and Aria! That’s why I won’t revive them. They might be saying “Let us sleep peacefully!” right?’

“Heh, guess so”

‘That’s just the way it is. Even Mr. Shion is quite grumpy in the morning. He says, “Please don’t wake me up”…’

“Hahaha! You’re right about that!”

Shion’s smile leaks out naturally and he feels his heart lighten somewhat.

Every living being lives and dies.

The process is different, but the flow is the same.

When something is obtained by twisting something, there will always be a distortion somewhere.

Shion’s worries disappear as if a fog has lifted.
