CH 183

Chapter 183 – Another Skill User

“It’s all because Riwa protected me…!” (Shakuhara)

The blue bandana woman tried to warn her again, but Sayuri held her back with one glance.

“Riwa said that she had a bad feeling and told me to leave immediately. But I said it was fine… And then the place transformed into a dungeon…” (Shakuhara)

Tears began to flow down her face as she struggled to get the words out. One of the believers next to her gently put an arm around her shoulder and comforted her, and she then led her out of the church.

“She’s not a bad girl. She’s actually very kind and honest at heart.” (Sayuri)

Even though it seems like she wants to kill men without question. Well, I could understand that feeling when it came to guys like Ohsaka.

“It was her own fault that her friend got hurt and is now on the verge of death. Ever since then, I’ve been fretting over what to do for her…” (Sayuri)

So that’s why she was constantly on edge like that. It seemed that she was not normally this emotional.

“It’s a wonder that she managed to live for half a month in this state though.” (Torimoto)

Normally, someone in this condition would have only lasted three days. After all, they didn’t bring her to a hospital.

“Well… she has a special power, and her body is very durable.” (Sayuri)

“A special power?” (Torimoto)

“…That’s right. Perhaps you might know of it, Torimoto-san.” (Sayuri)

“A skill—are you familiar with such a power?” (Sayuri)

“…! A skill…?” (Torimoto)

I never thought that I would hear those words here…

The only people from Earth I knew who had skills were those three individuals—Kuzuhara, Ryudou, and Mahina. Well, they did have a lot of people gathered here. It wasn’t strange for there to be a skill user among them.

“Judging by your reaction, you must know about it then.” (Sayuri)

Damn it. I let my reaction to her unexpected words show on my face.

“Well… When you travel, you meet all kinds of people.” (Torimoto)

“Riwa has the power of a skill dwelling within her, so her body is stronger than that of ordinary people.” (Sayuri)

It was true that Kuzuhara and Ryudou had particularly high physical abilities. I also thought that my body had become noticeably stronger as well, and my senses were sharper than they were when I didn’t have a skill yet.

But that alone wouldn’t be enough against a high-ranked monster.

So this woman has a skill, huh? If I can, I should check with the [Appraisal Looking-Glass].

That would increase the number of skills available to me in the .

“So you’re saying that it was thanks to this beneficial effect that she was able to endure all this time?” (Torimoto)

“Yes. But I think she’s reaching her limit. This child has been chosen by God. I cannot afford to lose her.” (Sayuri)

“Then shouldn’t you have taken her to a hospital? You surely could have found a female doctor if you searched for one.” (Torimoto)

“…Her injuries are severe. It would take a considerable amount of skill to treat her.” (Sayuri)

It would definitely require a major operation.

“But right now, the hospital is overflowing with patients, and many of them have wounds just like her. It’s not the kind of condition where we can be picky about which doctor treats her.” (Sayuri)

I see. Depending on whoever was available, the doctors would take on new patients one by one, starting with whoever was available, male or female.

They wouldn’t listen to the selfishness of wanting a female doctor just because they didn’t like men—not with the current circumstances.

“But her life is at stake. Wouldn’t it have been better to endure a male doctor? It’s better than dying.” (Torimoto)

“The people under me say that they would rather die than place themselves in the hands of a man.” (Sayuri)

“Is that what she said herself?” (Torimoto)

“……..” (Sayuri)

She didn’t, huh?

…Sigh. These people were overly extreme to a pitiful degree.

If my life was at stake, I would even have Ohsak—no, nevermind. I would choose to die too if I had to be saved by him. Ah, I get how these people feel now.

“Then it’s fine for me to treat her…?” (Torimoto)

“In your case, you wouldn’t have to touch her, would you?” (Sayuri)

“Well, that…” (Torimoto)

In the end, I was only going to give her medicine.

“That was why I searched for you. I knew that you would have the ability to heal her, even though you’re a man.” (Sayuri)

“You seem to think quite highly of me. A strange, suspicious traveler like me.” (Torimoto)

“Fufu, well, you know. After all, you were the one who saved me when I was overcome by despair.” (Sayuri)

At that moment, I noticed that the smile in Sayuri’s eyes was sincere. Her eyes, which had been clouded by a gloomy darkness, were now filled with a certain gleam.

This person… Perhaps…

A thought came to my mind, but the light in her eyes faded as quickly as it appeared.

“So please, save this child.” (Sayuri)

In their hands, they were holding something like a black attaché case. Then, they opened it in front of me and showed me the contents.

…Hoh.

My eyes couldn’t help but widen at the sight. There were several expensive-looking jewelry pieces within, including rings and necklaces and so on.

“…May I appraise the goods?” (Torimoto)

Hearing my question, Sayuri gave her permission, telling me to go ahead. I took out the [Appraisal Looking Glass] and began to pick up the pieces one by one, looking at them through the glass like a real appraiser.

…They all seem to be real.

And just as I’d thought, they were all accessories of considerable value. This would be enough to exceed the price of an [Elixir・Mini].

“…Very well. Then do you mind if I take these?” (Torimoto)

“Please do.” (Sayuri)

“…Then I appreciate it.” (Torimoto)

I took the items offered in the attaché case and stored them in the . Everyone who was watching was startled to see the items in the case suddenly disappear.
