CH 40

I woke up.

I don't know this ceil--No I know this ceiling. It's our lodging house's.

...Huh? What about the Jet Boar? Why was I sleeping?

"Uuh... Ouch!?"

A jolt of pain ran on my abdomen as I tried to stretch up while yawning.

Ah right, I got hit by the Jet Boar's ramming attack and knocked out cold.

"H-Hikaru! You're awake...!?"

"Ow ow... Ah, yup. Good morning."

"...Thank goodness, you seem fine..."

Alma spoke to me with a teary face.

Come to think of it, I had never taken a real damage until this point. Uh, putting aside falling down on my rear along with that kobold and getting hit by the goblin on my side.

"At first I saw a red magic beast making its way out of the village while staggering, then just as I was about to go after it, I saw you lying on the ground. It came as such a shock to me..."

"Ah, I got done in by that red thing. Took a ramming attack head on and passed out from that."

"It's been about half a day since then. I don't see any wound outside, but are you sure you're not hurting anywhere?"

Now that she mentioned it, wonder if this throbbing pain on my abdomen is from internal damage or broken bone.

Status check.
