Chapter 242 – My magic is gone?

The last thing I remember was falling and feeling a big impact all over my body. It was as if I had broken several bones, but still, I didn't feel any pain.

After that, I blacked out.

"Hey, are you okay?" I don't know how much time had passed, but I managed to wake up to the voice calling me, a voice I knew very well.

"I...hmm..." I was a little dizzy still, so after getting up I started to look around to get some sense of where I was at the moment, but I don't remember ever visiting this place before.

"Lie down again, you don't look well at all, and how can I tell... I think you have some broken bones." I was dizzy and couldn't see the face of the person next to me.

But I recognized the voice.

"Don't worry, I'm not feeling any pain. But changing the subject, could you tell me where you were, mister guild master?" This guy disappeared and now he's here helping me as if nothing happened?

If I wasn't "drunk" right now, I would punch him in the face, even if it costs me my job as an adventurer.

"Well, I was sorting some things out. I suppose you already know what happened in the guild, don't you?"

"Of course I do, I was the one who helped those people who were there, I also had to remove several bodies from under that rubble, it wasn't easy at all..."

"I'm sorry about that and thank you for helping those adventurers. Many died while the building was still in one piece, so it's good that at least some survived."

My vision was a bit blurred, but I could see that he was bowing to me.

"Don't worry, now tell me what happened to me and where exactly I am." I know I ended up passing out while flying over the capital, but I honestly have no idea where I fell and what happened next.

"Well, I kind of got a report that a cute little girl had fallen out of the sky on top of a house, so I ran over there."

"Urgh... Are you going to say I destroyed someone's house?"

"Don't worry about it, if I had to say, I think you destroyed your body more than the house."

"My body? That's right you said I had some broken bones, how surprising, and I don't feel any pain either." From the battles I had before, I noticed that my body was very resistant, it is surprising that just one fall broke all my bones.

"Don't talk like that, if you hadn't been helped in time, you could have died, you know?" Wait, I could have died from just one fall? That doesn't make any sense, I've endured worse things, you know?

"Of course not, I've been through worse things, there's no way I could die just because of that... Uuuh..., that hurts." As I continued my sentence, I felt a great pain in my abdomen, and that was something that I have not been used to since I came into this world.

"I said you have some broken bones. I can't use healing magic and there is no one around here who can. We just did first aid and let you rest. If you keep moving around like this, your ribs might puncture your organs, so stay still."

"Don't worry, I can heal quickly." I had even healed worse things before, so I guess it's okay.

Using my right arm that didn't seem broken, I moved my hand to my ribs to heal them, but...

"Hm, it's not working?" I tried to heal, but I couldn't use healing magic, I even thought I was doing something wrong, but I was doing everything right. I started to break into a cold sweat when I noticed this.

"As I said, you need to rest. You are without any magic. I don't know what you did, but your body has collapsed."

"What, my body collapsed? That doesn't make sense."

"Sure it makes sense. Anyone who uses a lot of magic without taking proper care ends up collapsing one time or another. You should be more careful, you know?" The guild master sighed.

"Well, where am I now?" I looked around and noticed that I was in a large, clean room, it didn't look like just any inn.

"It's my house. Feel free to enjoy this bed since this is the place you will be staying for a long time. Now I need to go and take care of some things, and I think you know what."

"You didn't have to say that. See you later."

I lay down and looked up at the ceiling made of wood.

"Shit, shit, did I lose my magic?" I've never been through this before, will my magic ever come back? Wait, I don't need to despair, the guild master said this is normal, sometimes it happens.

But this is worrying.

I can't defend myself if I don't have magic, without magic I'm just a little girl, and that terrifies me. If I don't have magic, how will I keep making money and protecting those girls?

And how will I defend myself if that guy decides to show up again?

I was almost going crazy thinking of all the bad things that could happen.

"My body hurts, I don't think even when I died in my other world I felt this much pain." My ribs were hurting, my left arm was hurting so bad that I couldn't even move my fingers.

Not only my arms, but my legs also seemed to be in a horrible state.

'It was because of that headache, wasn't it?' I should have been more careful, I thought it was no big deal.'

Maybe using the search magic and detecting so many signs was enough for my mana to run out or something? I don't know for sure, but surely that was the cause of my collapse. I should have known that such a severe headache was not normal.

When I woke up I didn't feel anything, but now my headache was back and my body is hurting a lot. I could only lie still while I suffered from the pain.

And since I had a lot of time to think, I couldn't help but think again about all the bad things that would happen if my magic disappeared.
