The Sacred Beast of Wisdom, the Sphinx Tribe (4)

Chapter 81: The Sacred Beast of Wisdom, the Sphinx Tribe 4

Arisugawa is not feeling well after relaxing in the Sphinx Village.

-x-x-x-x-x-

As Pauline had instructed, I returned to the tent where the small sphinx was to treat my wounds. I wonder if he is the village doctor here.

He made a disgusted face again when he saw me enter.

"Oh, you're still here? I'm tired. Ah, well, take off your clothes and lie face down there."

When I lay down on the floor, he placed his front paws on my arms, grumbling.

"Wow, it's pretty bad. The wound has closed, but I need to sew it up properly."

While saying this, he massaged the upper part of my arms with his two short front paws. I waited, wondering when he would sew, but he continued to massage my arm.

"Um... you're a doctor, right?"

"What? I'm not a doctor. I'm a healer."

What is a healer? Is that what they call masseuses in this world? It certainly relieves fatigue.

"What was it, aren't you adventurers? You certainly got hurt before?"

"No, we are travelers. And what is a healer? Someone who relieves fatigue... something like that?"

Upon hearing my words, the Healer Sphinx gave me an incredulous look.

"That's magic, you know? Light magic, white magic, that kind of thing."

According to what he continues to explain, this is known as recovery magic, adventurers use it to heal fatigue and minor injuries. This means that I am currently experiencing magic.

Thinking about it this way made me excited. Maybe I was the first person from my original world to have experienced real magic.

Then the stepped area gradually became warmer.

This time he climbed on my back and began to skillfully massage me with his four paws. It seems that all the muscles in my body are softening and relaxing, so I lose all tension. It feels like I'm melting slowly, like hot chocolate.

After a while he got off me. Even after finishing, I still have no strength in my body.

"Ah, I'm tired. This will help the wound heal faster. I'm going to bed now, so you can go now."

Somehow, I managed to get up from my limp body and returned to where I left Sharin.
