Chapter 115.2 : Healing Crusch!

"Could it be that I reached out to Felix before the video playback time?"

Jiraiya, deeply troubled, swiftly made a thoughtful judgment.

In this critical moment, Felix's urgent voice echoed through the light: "Jiraiya from another world, Golden List mentioned that you wish to complete the transaction with me and inherit the powers of my prime."

"Whatever you desire, I can assure, but I implore you to save my benefactor, Crusch."

While the heir's disposition indicated this might be the easiest way to secure the inheritance, fulfilling the other party's conditions was no simple matter.

"Wait a moment; I lack proficiency in medical matters. But I believe someone here may have a solution."

Despite harboring many doubts, Jiraiya chose to first console Felix, then turned to Uchiha Ran, inquiring, "Fifth Hokage, what is the current situation?"

Though the intelligence gathered was limited, Jiraiya surmised that Felix and Crusch should be fine, as suggested by the video's portrayal of the future.

Yet, specifics eluded him.

But Uchiha Ran likely held the answers.

And Uchiha Ran indeed knows about this world.

After all, Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World was the world where his crush in previous life, Rem, resided, providing him with an intimate understanding.

This world centered around Natsuki Subaru, a high school student returning home from a convenience store, suddenly summoned to the Otherworld. Following a sequence of events, he resolved to aid the half-elf Emilia in claiming the throne.

Emilia, with dreamy silver hair, snow-like skin, captivating blue-purple pupils, and elf-like pointed ears, was one of the five candidates for the throne of Lugunica. Currently, she lives in Elior Forest, just like Crusch Karsten in Karsten Terriotory.

However, at that time, Crusch was already twenty years old. Now, at twelve, she had not yet inherited the title of Duke.

The timeline continued to unfold until Crusch rescued Felix but got accidentally injured by him, resulting in severe wounds.

The subsequent events involved Felix awakening and successfully utilizing healing magic to save Crusch from imminent death. After recovering, Crusch learned about Felix's past, punished his parents severely, and agreed to Felix's request to stay by his side as a Knight.

Later on, Felix, previously liberated from confinement by Karsten in the guise of parenting, became an entourage of Crusch. Though not initially qualified to be a Knight, guided and encouraged by Crusch, he decided to become a knight without wielding a sword.

Despite challenges, Felix, driven by his dedication to Crusch, took care of all aspects of their journey, even declaring, "I will play the role of the daughter" and dedicating his body to Lord Crusch. Following this, Felix accepted the ribbon made from Crusch's hair, symbolizing a Trap role.

All these events transpired when Felix was merely ten years old. Subsequently, on the suggestion of the fourth prince of Lugunica, Friel Lugunica, Felix underwent training at the Royal Healing Institute under Crusch's guidance. Three years later, at the age of thirteen, Felix inherited the title of "Blue" and became the chief healer of the kingdom.

At eighteen, aspiring to become a knight worthy of Duke Karlsten's house, Felix, with the help of Friel Lugunica, joined the gilded knights of the guard. This decision led to a series of events, including being confirmed as the first candidate for the king.

The narrative then delves into Crusch's appearance at the royal election venue, where she expressed skepticism about the contract between Lugunica and the dragon. She vowed to abolish the contract upon ascending the throne. Prior to the king's election, Crusch made a contract with Emilia, allowing Subaru Natsuki to stay in the Karsten mansion, with Felix showing the "door" for him.

That is, is it nine or even ten years before the original plot started?

Then, at this moment, Emilia remained in deep slumber.

The half-elf girl, once renowned as the "Frozen Witch" dwelling in the icy forest, made her debut at the age of 114, yet her mental age only reached 14. Frozen at the tender age of 7, she slept for a century until rescued by Puck. Living an additional 7 years, she then became entangled in the unfolding plot.

Approximately three years remained until Emilia's rescue.

Consequently, Ram and Rem were around eight years old during this period. They hadn't received instruction from witches, and Ram's distinctive horns were still intact.

The timing was opportune.

"I must find a way to enter this world."

"It'd be perfect if I could go alone!"

Uchiha Ran quickly attracted attention.

Not rushing to inform Felix about healing magic, Jiraiya inquired, "Why not ask the Golden List if you can go and heal people?"

"In trade, healing should fall within the acceptable parameters, right? Some might be in dire straits and need assistance."

"Absolutely!"

Felix complied and promptly communicated with the Golden List.

"As long as it falls within the ten-minute negotiation window, and with the other party's consent, you can traverse to their world."

"It's permissible to bring along a limited number of people and pets, but the duration must align with the allotted conversation time on the Golden List, and the other party must agree."

Jiraiya's response met Uchiha Ran's expectations. Offering a time-travel experience, with the consent of both parties, could validate authenticity and facilitate transactions.

"Let me proceed!"

Uchiha Ran asserted.

"Very well!"

Jiraiya wasted no time, explaining the situation to Felix.

Upon learning that a medical saint was on the way, Felix promptly granted permission for the journey.

In the next moment, a luminous circle materialized before Uchiha Ran and Jiraiya.

Without hesitation, they stepped into it.

The aperture vanished instantly.

Subsequently, their forms were drawn into the light curtain.

"You came along?"

Uchiha Ran shot Jiraiya a glance.

"A rare trip to the Otherworld—I wouldn't miss it." Jiraiya grinned. "Orochimaru must be quite envious."

Indeed, Jiraiya was acquainted with Orochimaru, who couldn't help but envy his arrival in the world beyond the light curtain.

"As you wish, I'll help you seal the deal."

Uchiha Ran responded casually, activating Mangekyō. He examined Crusch's injury with a glance.

"It's nothing serious."

Uchiha Ran touched Crusch's wound, and a green light blossomed.

The wound on Crusch's abdomen healed before their eyes.

Simultaneously, Uchiha Ran produced two beans and tossed them to Felix. "Give one to Crusch, and consume one yourself."

"Yes!"

Observing Uchiha Ran approaching from the other side of the light curtain, Felix quickly tended to Crusch's injury. He respected Uchiha Ran like a deity and promptly followed his instructions, feeding Crusch a bean and consuming one himself.

Watching this, Uchiha Ran's eyes narrowed. "Seal!"

"The twins' homeland—hope yet remains!"
