I managed to reach the hospital, only to find a dirty Dark Harpy woman there.
I laid the two fallen individuals and Karubene in beds. Karubene’s bleeding wouldn’t stop, and large beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
“Karubene, are you alright?”
“Ah, ahh… I’m dizzy and in a lot of pain, but I’m somehow alive.”
His body felt hot, and his breathing was ragged. He couldn’t focus his eyes. I had to treat him quickly, or things would get bad.
“Uh, my shoulder was pierced by a sword. Please stop the bleeding quickly.”
“Eh… Ah, you’re covered in blood.”
Eia removed his blood-soaked bandage and replaced it with a new one. Then, she handed him a few medicines.
“Take these and sleep. The others are just unconscious, so they’ll wake up eventually.”
With that, Eia returned to the back of the clinic. Huh? That’s it? No way, she didn’t even explain what the medicine was. I looked at the Arachne man standing behind me. He gave a wry smile as if to say, “What can you do?”
“Is this how the doctor here is?”
“Eh, no. She’s a pharmacist. Well, aren’t you lucky to find a place to sleep? If you’re in pain, do you want to use my medicine? It’ll numb your body and stop the pain.”
Was this hell still going on? The battle was over, yet if this continued, our team would be slowly annihilated. Weren’t there any doctors who worked at night?! Even in this situation, Pauline was desperately tending to us. That’s right, I should rest now. Fortunately, all the beds were empty. There weren’t many, but there were enough for everyone to sleep.
The dizziness I’d been feeling was getting worse and worse. I was tired and felt nauseous. It seemed the spell the Succubus cast was still lingering. Veronica was also sitting on a bed, with her head bowed. She must have taken a lot of damage too. I looked at the floor and saw Elana collapsed there.
“Hey, Elana, pull yourself together. Sharin, help me get her onto the bed.”
I laid the limp Elana down. She had been using magic until the very end. Faint, pained breathing could be heard from her dry lips. I should get her some water.
The moment I stood up with that thought, my legs lost strength, and my vision spun. After my eyes met the floor, a dull ache spread through my entire body. It took me a moment to realize that I had collapsed.
“Arisugawa, stay with me! Can you stand?”
“Ngh, ah…”
Sharin’s voice sounded distant. For the time being, I lay down and closed my eyes. But then I was overcome by a spinning sensation, and I couldn’t keep my eyes closed.
“Are… are you okay? Are you okay? This is serious, we need to treat you immediately. Camilla, could you check on that person over there?”
“Yes, it’s a nasty wound. It looks like she’s bleeding too.”
The firm voice of the youth and the woman’s voice I heard from afar, though I couldn’t see them, were truly a godsend in this hell.
