Chapter 193 – Post-Battlefield Miracle

It was truly like a battlefield.

In a hospital-like room, there were beds lined up in a row. Women were being carried in, and there was moaning and crying to be heard everywhere.

The women who had suffered minor injuries were set aside, and the severely wounded were being treated, all hands on deck.

The sight of the hustle and bustle was overwhelming.

In the midst of all this, their founder, whom each and every one of them respected so much, appeared before them, causing everyone to turn to look at her in surprise.

Then, a woman walked briskly and stopped in front of Sayuri, bowing deeply.

“Thank you for gracing us with your presence in a place like this.”

“Asamine-san, what is the situation?” (Sayuri)

It seemed that the person whom the blue bandana woman had spoken about was now before us. Asamine was a woman in her twenties, wearing white clothes which happened to now be stained with blood.

“There are 12 lightly wounded, and the facilities here will be sufficient to treat them, but… the situation is extremely difficult for the severely wounded.” (Asamine)

“From your point of view, how many of them are in a dangerous condition?” (Sayuri)

“Four of them have bullet wounds, and three have broken bones. We won’t know the details until we take X-rays.” (Asamine)

“Alright. How many have returned to God’s side?” (Sayuri)

“Can you take us to the people whose lives are in danger?” (Sayuri)

“Yes. But…” (Asamine)

She glanced fleetingly over at me. Well, it was natural, I guess. But I didn’t feel much disgust from her.

“Ah, this person is the one who has granted us with the miracles of God.” (Sayuri)

“…! So this is the person who healed Saniwa-san in an instant?” (Asamine)

“Precisely. Now, you will witness the miracle as well. To the severely wounded, quickly.” (Sayuri)

“Y-Yes! This way!” (Asamine)

Asamine stood at the front and led the way to the back of the room. On the way, each of the followers who saw me were showing a differing reaction.

Some froze in astonishment at the presence of a man. A number of them turned pale, while others glared at me angrily.

""

Under these gazes that had all kinds of emotions behind them, I arrived at the bedside of one of the severely wounded.

I see. This is terrible…

Saniwa had been in a terrible condition, but this person was bleeding from the arms, legs, abdomen, and shoulder. They were bandaged so heavily that they looked like a mummy.

“They were showered with bullets and ended up in this condition.” (Asamine)

Asamine had a look of frustration on her face, as if she was tormented by her own powerlessness.

“The bullets are still in her body, so we have to take them out, but…” (Asamine)

“But it’s difficult with the equipment here, huh?” (Torimoto)

“Yes. There are no antibiotics here, and more importantly, we can’t transfuse any blood.” (Asamine)

At that moment, Sayuri turned to me and asked if I was able to help.

“You want me to show you a miracle?” (Torimoto)

To me, it wasn’t any miracle, just a fantasy item.

“Please do. Asamine-san, please watch closely as he performs this miracle before us.” (Sayuri)

I took the [Elixir・Mini] that I had purchased and approached the woman who was lying prone on the bed. After raising her torso slightly, I had her drink the potion.

When I touched her, the people who didn’t know about what had happened with Saniwa yesterday let out gasps.

“It’s alright. Drink it slowly. Yes… That’s right, good job.” (Torimoto)

She was still more conscious than Saniwa had been back then, and she took the medicine of her own free will.

After she swallowed it, her body began to glow. The bullets were pushed out of her body, and the wounds all over her body began to close.

“N-No way…!” (Asamine)

It wasn’t just Asamine. Everyone present was naturally stunned by the miraculous sight.

“……..Th—”

“You’re fine now. You did well.” (Torimoto)

“…Th…T-Thank… you…”

She looked at me with a tired, feverish gaze and voiced her gratitude, perhaps not realizing that I was a man.

I stepped away from her, and she smiled happily when she saw Sayuri. Sayuri raised her pewter staff overhead, drawing everyone’s attention.

“This is the miracle of this gentleman—Torimoto Kentaro! Everyone, you may rest assured. Everyone here will be saved!” (Sayuri)

Am I the only person who thinks that it would be better to hurry up and heal these people instead of playing at such a farce?

I asked Asamine, who was still bewildered, to bring me to the other severely wounded, and I healed them one by one.

Since I was already at it, I gave the ones with lighter wounds a full recovery using a much cheaper medicine.

The scene, which had been a hectic battlefield just a moment ago, experienced an instant transformation from the gloomy chaos.

There were delighted cheers as people embraced their friends and comrades and cried tears of joy.

“Oh, Founder-sama, how can we thank you?” (Asamine)

“Asamine-san, as I said earlier, it was not me who brought about this scene. It was the work of God’s Messenger—Torimoto Kentaro.” (Sayuri)

Huh? Why did she have to give me a name that has such a chuuni vibe? This could end up as a dark chapter in my history.

Some of them seemed to take Sayuri’s words seriously and let out gasps of admiration. However, many of them had complicated expressions, running into the obstacle of the fact that I was a man. Either way, their hostility compared to before had lessened greatly.

“U-Umm… Torimoto Kentaro-sama?” (Asamine)

“Eh? W-What is it…. Uh, Asamine-san?” (Torimoto)

Asamine, who had been keeping her distance from me since the beginning, spoke to me.

“Thank you so much for saving the lives of my friends and companions.” (Asamine)

“Ah, no, it was nothing. This is my job after all.” (Torimoto)

I had only finished this request for a reward. Since that was the case, I didn’t need any gratitude.

“Torimoto-san, I would like to thank you as well. I knew that you were the one we needed.” (Sayuri)

“Sayuri-san, you too…? Anyway, if there are no more wounded, then my work here is done, right?” (Torimoto)

“Yes. Asamine-san, can I leave the rest to you?” (Sayuri)

Asamine replied affirmatively, so I left the room with Sayuri.
