Playful Days (Part 13)

Seeing Eriko with her scythe is like seeing death coming to get me. My face is in a grim expression and my body won't move because of the pain I felt.

Eriko lifted her scythe to deliver the final attack.

"Sword skill: Heaven's blade."

I heard a metallic sound and as I averted my eye's I saw those people who helped me in this fort.

Captain Yuri with her squad came to save me.

"I'll stop the bleeding, relax your self Mayu... Max Healing!"

Marry immediately rescue me by casting her healing magic. Rin was very worried after seeing my current state.

"Are you okay?"

Rin asked.

"Be careful that demon can use blood manipulation ability. She also has high-speed regeneration."

I said.

"What are these people doing? I thought I evade the fort with those monsters."

"All of those weak level monsters are already defeated. We call some reinforcement on the nearby country. Prepare yourself for the consequences of your crime."

Yuri said.

"I guess, having many friends have its advantages. Fighting many people at once is not my style. Also, my barrier is at its limit. I can say the playtime is really over, But I really enjoy it little elf. You really have potential. Since you entertain me, I'm not going to do anything in this fort. You should be happy with that."

Eriko said and dissapeared like a bubble.

The barrier that enveloped the whole city starting to meltdown and the sun appeared.

So it's really daytime.

The moment I see the ray of sunlight. My eye slowly falls. Maybe, because I'm super tired and I lost lots of MP in the battle. Well, I also lost my left arm and lost too much blood.

My head is started to become dizzy.

In the end, I failed to kill that evil creature.

My eyes fall and the Captain Yuri squad quickly brings me to the Elesis fort hospital for immediate treatment.

…

It's been a week since the battle. Many people lost their lives in the incident. Many houses and infrastructures are destroyed including the adventurer school.

The festival that was supposed to give people smiles was suspended because of the incident. Many people are grieving and sad about the happening. Dead bodies of the victims were then buried in the near cemetery.

I woke up laying in the bed and get up. I turned my eyes to the window which reflects my reflection.

I saw my left arms missing and I'm full of scars and wounds.

If I'm stronger maybe, I'm able to save Meily. If I have enough healing magic. I should just heal her mother with my own magic. If that happened maybe, Meily never falls into that state.

Judging by how my eyes look, I can say that my eyes are really lifeless. I'm so arrogant with my abilities.

Those people praised my abilities for being compared to a powerful noble. Goes to my head.

Those titles I have are worthless, they don't really have use on the battlefield. Those titles just boosted my ego. In the end, my ego and my belief that I'm powerful bite me.

I can't even save a single friend in hopeless times.

Those playful days and smiles I spend with Meily. Is not going back anymore.

Thinking of an unimaginable future with her eating together and having a peaceful life.

Maybe searching for whats my reason for living here is not really what I wanted. When I started living here in another world. I started to think that mission in life is not really something given to you. It's something you must get yourself.

I'm just an all-talk arrogant being. Ever since I'm in Japan as a High school girl. I always think about my purpose. My purpose of having an amazing job and me being above anyone. I always think I'm special because I'm blessed with beauty and intelligence, but in reality, I'm just a piece of shit looking down on other people.

I look down on them for laughing at simple jokes. I look down on those girls every time they accused me of stealing their boyfriend. I look down to those who are always lower than me on exam results. I look down to those working hard people without considering working smart.

"I'm just a person full of shit."

I muttered.

I try using heal to my left arm. But looks like there a difference between healing magic and regeneration magic.

I guess I'm going to live my life with only one arm.

A nurse then opens the door in my room.

"Oh, you're already awake. Thank goodness it's been a week since you come here. I'm really worried that you might not wake up."

"Thank you for treating my wounds."

"That's nothing, it's the nurse's job to help those people in need."

The nurse then shows me her cute muscle to cheer me up.

I smiled after seeing her.

Rin and the others then came to visit me afterward. Rin was so worried she's hugging me so much. Meanwhile, Captain Yuri was relieved to see me wake up. They bring some fruit and some change of clothes.

"Mayu what do you want to do after your discharge? Let us go fishing or have a picnic."

Rin asked.

"I want to visit Meily's grave."

I reply.

"I see…"

Rin understands my feeling.

"... But first, you must recover and have plenty of rest. That demon you fight before is a demon lord commander. You should not blame yourself for everything that happened. It's not your fault Mayu. It's not your fault."

Said Rin.

Tears then fell in my eye's and I hugged her.

"Your such a cry baby Mayu."

I cried hard, I have to time to be embarrassed to those people seeing my crying face.
