Chapter 9

First Magic .

I was carrying Miria while running through the forest .

But this time I wasn’t running from the Little Rock Dragon, this time what was chasing us were some grey wolves who seem to have been attracted by the smell of blood .

Moreover is not only one, multiple are following me . There must be at least three of them .

I could defeat them if we fought, but I don’t know how I would protect Miria while fighting them .

The grey wolves don’t seem to be coming this way anymore .

However a faint unnatural sound reaches my ear .

And it doesn’t seem that it was environment that did that, I should prepare myself .

Since the enemy’s potential was unknown I was considering on evacuating from here, and there could be the chance of it being higher as I don’t know if he had called for more comrades . Now I understand that I shouldn’t have lost sight of him .

Also the Grey Wolves could sniff out if I had any company, so their next course of action would be to come out .

Such was the explanation of God’s Voice .

As it doesn’t seem that an attack would come out any time soon, I believe that my only choice would be to escape .

I can’t afford that the same thing happens to Miria as when she fought that guy before .

Both her HP and MP were already so low .

Moreover her HP was still occasionally reducing .

At first I thought it was my imagination, but after checking quite often my worry was confirmed .

The reason of this must be because of the [Bleeding] status .

If this continues at this pace I don’t think that she would be able to survive for more than five minutes .

I’m weak .

I hunted lower rank monsters in order to become strong, but I’m weak .

I can’t fight at all .

I had finally been able to find other humans, and with some difficulties I made a friend, but I couldn’t protect that single person .

「Gaaa!」

The baby dragon’s roar .

Unlike that little rock dragon’s roar, it isn’t able to threaten the surroundings .

That was to inform the unknown enemy to not come close .

Even if I think about it, I could not help but cry . In my heart there was a mist swirling around that I wanted to clear out .

I want to become stronger,

To be able to easily pulverize that kind of weird shaped dragon, that’s how strong I want to be .

As I run, I feel how Miria’s lukewarm blood flows on my body .

That just means that her body is being stolen of its life force .

「GaaaAA!」

I’m crying .

I really want to scream for help .

But the voice that came out was that of a ferocious monster, unlike my pitiful, low voice .

【Title Skill〖Spirit Relief: Lv1〗was acquired . 】

Even if I get such thing . . . it’s only a feeling, it can’t do anything . . .

Iya, wait . Are this “title skills” supposed to be like this .

For example the〖Walking Egg〗title skill which doubles my experience obtained .

In the first place, one would normally consider if there really is such a convenient〖Skill〗 . Could this possibly have something to do with that?

Oi, answer me God’s Voice!

【Special Skill 〖God’s Voice: Lv2〗 is unable to explain . 】

Stop joking!

A life depends on this!

【Special Skill 〖God’s Voice: Lv2〗 is unable to explain . 】

I can’t believe it!

You are the one who sent those messages that said 『Become strong』and『Run away』, why did you think that you could just screw your intentions into me!

I don’t even understand who you are, don’t you think that such thing is inflexible?

I don’t have anymore time! .

【Special Skill 〖God’s Voice: Lv2〗 is unable to explain . 】

The same answer .

It just feels like throwing a ball to a wall, unproductive .

Like feeling a bottomless unidentified object, a strange situation .

God’s voice you aren’t useful .

What should I do?

How can I save Miria?

Think, there must be a rule that is inconsistent in this system . , If I keep thinking I should be able to reach at least one answer .

When I somehow was able to understand what she was saying I acquired the 〖Grisha Language〗special skill .

However, the skill hasn’t developed since I was able to obtain it .

I couldn’t even understand a small portion of anything that she was saying .

So, in other words isn’t that the opposite of the idea .

To obtain a skill it doesn’t depend on what I do, but about the status I should have taken notes of how it was changing, that kind of idea .

It’s like this world is tied up to the numerical values, but I don’t think that’s quite it .

Is the opposite .

I don’t think that it’s the status that makes up the world, since the status is more like reading the data .

But still there is an enigma that remains and it isn’t a speculation, but that makes it more realistic in a sense .

In other words, skills aren’t born or pop out of nothing .

For example the structure of the body and the extent of one’s ability, those kind of things are the ones that affect skills .

I have magical power .

Though I don’t have any practice, but still I should be able to use Recovery Magic .

Iya, even if it’s imperfect I’ll never know if I don’t try right now . .

Let’s lay Miria down on the ground .

Remember, remember that time when she used her magic on me, that light, that sensation .

I check Miria’s status to look for the skill, it seems that it was the 〖Rest〗skill .

From the inside of my heart I pray silently〖Rest〗and I try to frantically recreate the memory I have of the magic .

〖Rest〗,〖Rest〗 .

No good, it’s not working .

〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!

Right now I was able to grasp a feeling .

〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!

It’s shaking violently, it feels as if my brain is shaking and I’m starting tired .

Tired? only because of using the skill?

My MP is decreasing, doesn’t that mean that the magic is a success?

〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!

〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!

〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!

〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!〖Rest〗!

How many times have I used it, a warm light envelops Miria and her injuries start to recover a little .

It’s working!

My physical strength is fading away, must be because of using 〖Rest〗repeatedly .

My breath is becoming heavy, this must be my limits I should check my status .

It seems my MP became 0, and it seems that Miria’s HP recovered a little .

I used all of MP on this .

Iya, however it seems that the 〖Bleeding〗bad status disappeared .

She was able to escape death thanks to this .

【The Title Skill〖Spirit Relief〗leveled up from 1 to 3 . 】

The title skill is good, but I wonder if the〖Rest〗skill was acquired . . .

It feels like it is around 1/5 of the original effect .

For the time being it seems that she won’t die from bleeding, but her HP is still low so I need to take her to a safe place .

I need to get out of the forest in order to look for a human village .

When I found out that her HP and MP weren’t decreasing anymore, somehow my fatigue went away .

There must be a human habitation unexpectedly close .

I should try going the direction which Miria and the others came from .
