chapter 31

(I'm back to rewrite and updates will be 2-1 chapter a day and good reads)

I was walking up the stairs with Saya and with the others in a hurry so I couldn't help but ask Saya what was going on

"Saya, do you know what happened?" »

"No, we were watching as you said, then we saw them bring injured Saeko and Shizuka took care of her directly, then we took care of maintaining her condition and after 30 minutes trying to maintain her condition, You are back"

Then we got to the door and wondered about it. I walked straight in and saw Saeko in the bed in pain and the others saw me but didn't say anything or stop to go.

I approached her and took her hand which made her open her eyes and when she saw me she smiled at me

"Saeko, it's ok, I'll do everything to help you"

"I know cough cough, I always trusted you, you were always a miracle worker"

"Yes, I promise you" without realizing it the tears flowed and I said "Rest and get your strength back" and I saw him close his eyes to sleep

"Shizuka and what happened with Saeko, come on and Mamako can you watch Saeko"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it"

"Thanks"

Everyone except Mamako went back to the living room and I went for a drink to clear my mind, the room was quiet so I asked

"Utaha, what happened?"

"As you said, we went to the workshop and everything was normal, Shoko and Saeko were cleaning every time and I was the scout but while we were recovering what was useful, we were stopped by people wearing some kind of red outfit they introduced themselves as a group of gravediggers and as you can imagine he was going to take advantage of us but Saeko had become with a cruel smile and she sprinted towards them and broke 2 people's legs but the last person fired in fear has hit Saeko and Shoko seeing this to sprint and disarm and stun the person but it was too late Saeko was bleeding"

Then Utaha shouted "Sorry Naru, I was paralyzed with fear, I thought I was ready but I was too scared" I looked at Shoko who had her head down and I could only sigh and stroke her head at 2

"Don't worry I don't blame you and it's okay to be scared Utaha so don't blame yourself take it as something you overcame to get stronger"

"Mmh"

"Shizuka come"

Shizuka and I went to the kitchen to discuss something serious.

"How long will it last?"

"The bullet is out but she has at least 24 hours before she dies from her injuries.

"SHIT!" I slammed the table in rage at not being able to do anything

"The only way to fix it would be to have specialized tools to sew it back on"

"Tell me what to take, I'll take care of it" I was about to equip myself but Shizuka stopped me

"There is a problem"

"What ?"

"It's a nest of birds of prey and not a small one but a huge one since it was there"

"How do you know ?"

"Saeko's group had rested in front of the hospital but at night more than a dozen birds of prey had come out and then during the day they came back"

"I don't care, tell me what to take"

"Okay but please don't die"

"You know damn well I'm more experienced with raptors than anyone so I'm in luck so tell me what you need"

"Very good" and she gave me what I needed medicine so that Saeko could sleep during the operation, tools for sewing, and other medicine with such a long name (I don't know too much care so tell yourself that to treat saeko you need who gets what at the hospital"

As Shizuka was leaving, a Ding came

[Emergency Quest Detection: Saeko has been fatally injured but there is a chance to heal her, but you will have to go through extremely deadly danger, are you ready to survive?

Reward: a falcata + weapon blueprint]

(A falcata because can you imagine our Naru fighting with two falcatas against a horde, amazing isn't it? 😁)

(Photo Falcata)

Good timing when I came out, others waited for me then Hisashi comes and says "so how can we save her?"

"You just have to watch her, I'll take care of getting the care"

"You're not serious! We'll help you" the others tried the same thing to convince me

NO, I am going to a place full of birds of prey, I am the most discreet of all here and I am the most informed about birds of prey, you must protect this place at all costs and especially if you see people in red the armors are enemies, you understand?

Seeing people not responding, I raised my voice

"UNDERSTOOD ?!"

"Yes !!" Everyone responded in unison and I nodded.

"Well Takeshi you run the place"

Then I went upstairs and went to Saeko's room and mamako saw me but I held Saeko's hand and said "I promise I will find some care for you"

Then I got up but mamako called me and said

"Come back safe and sound because you won't break the promise you and Alice made, will you?"

I smiled and without saying anything I left then when I came out I climbed on a roof and I started to go to the hospital

(Phew, I hope Naru finds the cure for Saeko 😅 also I wonder if you have found a clue about his next power because he is one of my chapters this clue, and thanks for reading
