Volume 2 - CH 55

Chapter 2-55. Rescue Satella

While dexterously spreading the paper that I don’t know where it fell from, I look at the letters written inside.

But I can't read the characters in this world.

I was worried how it had fallen, so I just opened it up.

There was a possibility that something different was wrapped in it instead of the letters, but after I checked all of them, it only contained letters.

Even if I’m aware that I can't read it, I check them all thoroughly.

Obviously the letter was not in Japanese.

However, it doesn't seem to be English, Russian, Greek, or another language that I know.

It doesn't make sense to look at the unknown characters, so I took my eyes off of the letter for a while and thought about how to wake up Satella.

However, something struck my head.

There was a mysterious sensation that I could understand even though I shouldn't understand it.

To make sure ... I think the first letter on the paper was "da".

In the end, I couldn’t take over my curiosity.

I look at the paper again.

And I can read it somehow..

You may not believe me but, I swear to god  that I never ever know these characters and language in the letter. I just, somehow, I can read it smoothly like the Japanese letters that I’m used to read.

I was confused for a moment because I didn't understand how and why I could read the letters, but as I read the written letters, I regained my composure.

It was a little unbelievable.

"I don't know who you are, please save this child"

From the message, it must have been written by the man in the robe.

I don't know when he wrote it, but I know it was aimed at me.

However, how did I get caught when I used [Assassination] to erase my presence to the limit?

He makes me lose my confidence a bit.

Maybe I'm still not very skilled at using that skill.

But, isn’t that guy in the robe on Rudd's side?

Otherwise, he wouldn't leave this message ...

Well, It wouldn't change the fact that guy is the one who wrote it.

But I should be aware that the robed guy knows that I’m in this house.

We might meet again somewhere.

Well ... let's get rid of this situation first.

If a snake suddenly appears, she’ll be surprised ...

Hmm ... Wake up Satella for the time being ... but don’t make her wary of me ... Well, what should I really do?

Alright, let's wake her up first.

I wanted to shake her body ... I wanted to, but my body is too small to do it.

And she'll be afraid if she knew that a snake woke her up.

It's not a very good method, but I decided to make water with [Infinite Water Manipulation] and drop the water on her face to wake her up.

I hide a little away from her.

I'll deal with whatever comes later while keeping in mind not to scare her for the time being.

As planned, I tried to wake her up by dripping water on Satella's face.

She looked displeased, but ... she hasn't woken up yet.

Finally she got up after I dropped the water four times.

However, she just rubbed her eyes while still sleepy.

"Hmm ...?"

Satella stands up and looks up.

It seemed that she was checking her surroundings and confirming where she was.

So I make a lump of water and let it float.

I made it quite large, so Satella found it immediately.

But she wasn't surprised, it’s like ‘what is this?’.

She had an expression like that.

As soon as Satella sees a lump of water, I transform the water into the shape of a jewel that Alena taught me before.

Alena said she should know about this ... how is it ...?

"...! Ah! The jewels that dad gave to mom!"

Satella, who had been squinting for a while in the dim light and looking at what it was, suddenly opened her eyes and pointed her finger at the jewel and said so.

Apparently it was transmitted safely.

You rock, Alena!

Next is, I want to show myself but I don’t want to startled her

Oh, that's right!

The jewel-shaped water sprinkled on the floor.

Satella looked disappointed, but please bear with it.

The lumps of water that have fallen to the floor are hard to see, and she have no idea where they are.

But that was good enough.

I make the water into a flower shape and spread it all over the floor.

Of course, everything is water, but she can't see it now.

Of course I can see it at night, but Satella can’t.

That's why I'll apply recovery skills to the water.

The recovery skill emitted a pale green glow when applied.

If I try to apply recovery skills to all the flowers made with water, it will emit light nicely.

Each light itself was weak, but when it comes to dark places, it’s a different matter.

A faint light makes the flowers shine a little.

It looks like a chain reaction, and the floors of this room all turned into beautiful green flower fields.

Even though it is made of water, it has a well-shaped glowing water flower so she can clearly see them.

Shining water flowers that bloom in the dark.

I did it myself, but I am quite proud of my artwork .

Using an image is a big success.

Satella is also a girl.

I thought she would like this kind of thing, but ... it was more accepted than I had imagined.

She was watching the scene with her eyes shining.

I'd like to inform her that I'm here ... Is it okay for a brown snake to suddenly appear in a place that has turned into beautiful scenery?

My white snake appearance may be more acceptable, but if a brown earth snake appears, the atmosphere is destroyed.

Let's stop.

So I scraped some of the flowers into a snake.

Of course, the recovery effect is still intact, so it is still emitting green light. If it’s not then she can’t see my drawing skill (it’s a water tho).

"Snake!"

Satella notices the snake and makes a voice.

I don't want her to be too loud, but I have to heal her injuries for the time being.

I applied [Great Heal] to Satella from a distance and healed her wound.

Then Satella's body was wrapped in a pale green color.

Wounds and bruises all over her body disappeared from what I saw.

After the pale green light had disappeared, her skin had returned to its age-appropriate beauty.

"It doesn't hurt ... Oh, thank you Snake-san"

You are welcome.

I make the emoticon "(^ ω ^)" with water.

I feel like I made an emoticon for the first time in a long time ...!

"So cute ..."

Oh! She understands!

The cuteness of this emoticon!

Probably because it's a character that doesn't exist in this world!

I was worried if she wouldn’t like it, after all the emoticons can unite all languages ...

Let's use it a lot in the future.

Well, we have to escape from here.

Fortunately, no one else seems to be here, and now I should be able to leave here without any difficulty.

I have to take her to Gilnia's mansion for the time being ...

[Reporting. Unknown individual detected.]

Gyaaaaah! !! ??

I'm gonna kick this fella if it has a physical body!

You did it on purpose aren’t you?

What is it?

What is the trigger?!

No response!

I was surprised ...

Let's settle my mind and let Satella escape.

I make a hand shape with water and beckon here.

Satella jumped off the bed and followed me obediently.

Upon leaving the house, Satella seemed to be grateful and began to care about her surroundings.

"Hey, Snake-san ... he will get angry If I get out of this house ..."

It should be fine.

With that in mind, I'll push Satella's back with a hand made of water.

We were walking like that for a while.

However, as she moved away from that house, Satella's expression became brighter, and now it seems that I no longer need to push her back.

Gilnia's house is just around the corner.

Gilnia is probably still awake.

If I pursue him, he will let us in.

However, there was one problem.

===============

LV: 8/200

HP: 350/350

MP: 54/421

===============

My MP is low.

[Haze Manipulation] has already turned off, but the [Golem] and the water snake, which continues to apply recovery skills, are draining my MP.

[Haze Manipulation] consumes less MP, but the [Golem] that can share it’s vision, I want to keep this on.

However, if I keep it like this, my MP will run out and I will fall asleep as if I were dead for a day.

If possible, I would like to send Satella to Gilnia's house before that happens.

The recovery effect that applied to Satella was ridiculous...

If I only cast it once, it doesn't consume much MP, but I've casted quite a few of them ...

Let's reduce the number a little more this time.

While doing so, we managed to get to Gilnia's house.

I hastily release the clone [Golem] and reduce the MP consumption.

I was relieved that I managed to reach Gilnia's house before my MP ran out.

I tell Satella to knock on the door of this house with an emoji.

Satella nods lightly and knocks on the door.

The sound has been heard so far.

Gilnia, who was organizing the documents next door, quickly noticed and walked toward the front door.

Originally it was the work of other butlers and maids, but they got tired from moving too much in the daytime.

All midnight correspondence was undertaken by Gilnia himself.

Following Gilnia going to the front door, I also head to the front door.

There was Satella, who was worried when Gilnia opened the door.

It seems that she was a little worried because I erased the water snake earlier.

I think I've done something wrong, but I can't let Gilnia see the snake.

After all, my MP is in critical condition.

Gilnia spoke in a gentle voice to Satella, who was anxious.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you lost?"

"Well ... uh ... I came here with the snake-san ... but..."

"Snake-san? Uhm, but I didn’t see-... uwaaah?!?"

Gilnia jumped off for a moment when he saw me at his feet.

My bad I didn't mean to surprise you.

Satella seemed surprised to see the real snake, but when I shook my tail and made the emoticon "(^ ω ^)" on my head, she smiled.

"Snake-san!"

"Eh !? Is she ... Ouren-dono guest? If so, we should not make you stand here. Let's enter and I will prepare sweets."

"Thank you!"

For the time being, I was able to fulfill one of my objectives…. Uh oh?

Suddenly my body stopped and I couldn't move.

I feel so sluggish as if I don’t want to do anything.

……don’t tell me?

Somehow this seems familiar ... No way! !! !!

LV: 8/200

HP: 350/350

MP: 0/421

===============

………… Did the MP run out due to the [Infinite Water Manipulation] when I made the last emoticon?

...... Just because of the emoticon ...

I don't feel so good ...

Geeeeh.
