Chapter 55: Otome
Chapter 55: Otome
A large magic circle appeared beneath our feet and started glowing before our surroundings started to shift. I involuntarily closed my eyes due to the blinding light being released from the magic circle. As soon as I felt the blinding light started to disappear, I slowly opened my eyes and saw ourselves inside the infirmary. Although I still have no chance to visit the infirmary, I can see that this is indeed the infirmary with all the beds and all the medicines and some equipment like thermometers are all on the shelves. Looks like Yuto's teleportation spell really did a good job.
"Woah, that was quick! It's not even that bad and did not cause us nausea, unlike the space magic that Akari casts!" Godou said as he looked around the place.
"Of course. This magic is one of the arts that the incubus species use to teleport anywhere we wanted to. It allows us to travel without having any side effects of changing places. Isn't my magic amazing?" Yuto proudly puffed up his chest.
"Indeed. If we wanted to use it again, we can ask for your ability again," I said.
"I am at your service master!" Yuto proudly said.
"Ha...if only I have that ability, it would be a useful one and I can get a mana supply from Master. Unfortunately, I can only teleport myself and I can't bring anyone else, now I can't enjoy the benefits that my brother gets. I'm so jealous," Yuri sighed.
"You will get your turn in the future. Just stay put, for now, we will need your help in the battle later," I said as I carried Moonlight to the bed and looked around for any sign of the nurse tending the infirmary.

"Mom? Mom? Are you here?" Irina called as she looked for any signs of her mother inside.
Then, a woman in her thirties appeared on the other side of the room as she opened the door that leads to the room where the patients stay. She has short bobbed hair with blonde color and she is someone who looks very similar to Irina if you put Irina beside her. The only striking difference between her and Irina is that her mother is wearing glasses and a green magatama necklace.
"Irina? What happened? Ah..." she appeared to be surprised when she saw Irina inside the infirmary but she was stunned when she saw us inside the room.
"Mom. Is it true that you are one of those people able to use magic? Are you similar to them who are able to use magical powers too?"
She sighed and looked at Godou. "She found out?"
"I didn't know that she is your daughter. I was telling Kazuma about you earlier because we need help for Akari since she ran out of mana and collapsed due to overexertion. If I have known that she is your daughter, I wouldn't babble out about it," Godou scratched his head.
The woman scratched her head and sighed. "I know that this secret will come out sooner or later but I never expected it to occur right now. But I guess that with all of the demons attacking, she would know our existence soon."
"Why you didn't tell me, mom? I almost got caught by one of the demons back earlier and if not for Kazuma, I would have been killed perhaps!"
"I have no need to worry about your welfare with the demons. They can't touch you due to the amulet that I have you wear to ward off anything that harms you including magicians and demons. But I guess it didn't show up yet because of this kid's interference which is much better in my opinion. And I thank you for that. You are Kazuma, right? I am Otome, and this is my daughter, Irina."
"She is in danger. Although I don't have any heroic tendencies, I don't want to just watch and look for someone to suffer if I can help them from the situation. Anyways, Godou said that you can help Akari-san. She is currently unconscious. Can you help her to avoid the backlash of running out of mana?" I asked and put Moonlight into the bed.
"She overexerted again huh... I always warned her to keep it easy and lower her tendency to use too much mana but I guess she forgot it eh?" Otome said before she swipes her finger in the air above Moonlight and a green light appeared on her finger.
"Is that healing magic?" I asked.
"No, this is just scanning magic. Although usual scanning skills needed to be used in the eye, this skill is something that corresponds only to feelings. You can say this is like a stethoscope but can detect abnormalities more. This skill is a must for someone like me who needs to determine the injury of someone in one swipe."
"Is she fine now though?" Godou looked at Moonlight.
"Fortunately, she was not strained enough to get a backlash. She will wake up a little later but because there is a slight chance that she will have a backlash if something goes wrong, I will try to eliminate that percentage immediately."
"Please do," I said and continue to observe her movements.
After the green light dissipated from her fingers, Otome quickly put her forefinger into Moonlight's forehead and a green light started to glow from her fingers straight to Moonlight's forehead. Irina who just saw magic closely for the first time was so intent in watching what was happening and what her mother is doing.
Otome put her free palm into her necklace and gripped it. The necklace started glowing and it started to emit a warm feeling. It was quite relaxing and even Yuri and Yuto seems like they are relaxing from the feeling.
"Ah yes, the Magatama Effect. It was the healing ability of Mrs. Otome that can calm everyone even with the berserking demons and beasts. From the looks of it, she is using this to stabilize the lack of energy in Akari's body. "
Just as I was getting relaxed, Blue started talking. "Kazuma! The demons are once again gathering! They seemed to be the second batch of the demons that are meant to attack this place!"
