Chapter 25: Village Of Elves (8)

Heal to?

It was the first time he used healing magic on a sentient being, rather than an animal.

No matter how much her Mana Road might have seemed like a monster, his mana was exceptionally special.

He wasnt sure if Aira could handle it or not.

In other words, it was like gambling.

Ray smiled sadly.

Hahaha. I learned medicine to help humans, but when it really mattered, was it just a gamble?

Even in this situation where she was mocking herself, her breath grew weaker and weaker.

He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.

If she couldnt handle his mana, and he used too little, it could have had the opposite effect.

Moreover, the nature of the healing magic Heal was such that the quality of mana was more important than the quantity, so having a large amount of mana wasnt necessarily a bad thing.

Her Mana Road was large enough that quantity wasnt an issue.

The issue was whether she could handle the quality of his mana.

As he focused and made up his mind, the mana started to gather around him as if responding to his will.

He pulled mana from all around him, swelling it up in the center.

A tremendous mana storm swept through the room.

The elves in the village all stared at the sudden whirlpool of mana.

The mana is

Could it be the great race!

At this rate, it must be them!

But why now and why there

The elves didnt dare approach the intensely powerful mana storm.

It wasnt a gentle mana.

If one approached, the sharp mana could cut through their thin skin.

As the mana gathered in the center, it lost its harshness and became softer, but the mana starting to gather was still sharp.

One by one, they came out of their homes and looked towards Airas house.

Ray, unaware of what was happening in the village, concentrated on controlling the mana.

He had to pull as much of his mana as possible for the maximum effect.

The premise of his current thought was that Aira had to be able to handle his mana.

Aira, I trust you.

He whispered as he exhaled.

Heal!

The immense cluster of mana was absorbed into her skin, accompanied by light.

Having drawn all the surrounding mana, the quantity was enormous.

It enveloped her entire skin, yet half of it remained.

He manipulated the remaining mana to prevent it from scattering and continued to infuse it into her.

Her body levitated due to the power of the mana.

This was the first time he had collected and controlled such a vast amount of mana, causing sweat to pour from him like rain.

The mana shone brightly, completely obscuring her form.

A blue light exploded, spreading so far that even the elves outside could see it.

Outside, Pia thought of a familiar person when she saw the cluster of light.

She immediately sprang from the ground and leaped up to the treehouse.

Without pausing to admire the treehouse she had never climbed before, she opened the door.

There he was, bathed in light and drenched in sweat.

She hadnt expected him to persist in his efforts to save her.

She felt a certain emotion when she saw him, a member of a different race, striving for another race.

Even she, who belonged to the same elf race, had given up on her.

With just a word from the elder, he risked his colleagues life.

She observed him, completely engrossed in the magic, soaked from exertion, and felt a wave of embarrassment.

However, Ray, the main person involved, was so absorbed in controlling the mana that he didnt even notice Pias entrance.

He had to be cautious, for if he mishandled the control, the room might erupt in a gory display of Airas blood.

Moreover, he couldnt even determine if his magic was functioning correctly.

Airas body was entirely shrouded in blue light, making it impossible to see with the naked eye.

At the point where he had almost exhausted all the gathered mana, Ray lowered his two hands that had been raised in an attempt to control the mana.

Then a tremendous shockwave rocked the room.

Boom-

A wave of mana, powerful enough to make one question if it was audible, resonated throughout the entire elf village.

As the sound and mana vanished instantly, Ira remained in the same position as before the treatment.

Even Ray himself was uncertain of the outcome.

As he had stated, it was a gamble.

But he had no alternative but to use magic since there was a chance it could save her, and he hadnt contemplated the consequences if the treatment failed.

His sole focus was on saving the elf before him, disregarding everything else to concentrate on the magic.

Heuk heuk

He had expended a lot of stamina because he had gathered and controlled a vast amount of mana.

Even merely keeping his eyes open required a lot of effort, and if someone had touched him lightly, he would have passed out.

His resolve to see the result prevented him from losing consciousness.

And finally, he managed to smile before collapsing.

Aira, who had not awakened for over twenty years.

She opened her eyes.


When he regained consciousness, it felt as though he was submerged in water.

He couldnt hear or feel anything.

He didnt experience any of the excruciating pain and fatigue from before.

The comfort was so immense that Ray wanted to sleep a bit longer.

He relished the helplessness while submerged in water.

But even though he shouldnt have been able to hear anything, sounds began to reach his ears.

Ill take responsibility for this human again.

But Aira, while he is the elves savior, he also made a bold attempt with Airas body.

Ive had enough of your contemptible behavior. When you elves abandoned me for over twenty years, this human was the only one who didnt hesitate to do the dirty work for a different race. Isnt it ironic? In the end, the one who saved me wasnt the one who professed to revere me, but the one who pitied me.

A melancholic sneer was heard.

And Ray thought in his tranquility,

Whose voice is that Its really beautiful

No further voices were heard after that conversation.

Perhaps it was because he had lost consciousness, but who could say for sure.


Aira!

Ray sat up suddenly.

He had been enjoying the pleasant sensation on the back of his neck while lying down, but now that he was fully awake, things were different.

The first thing that came to his mind upon waking was Aira opening her eyes, but he shuddered at the thought that it might have been a hallucination brought on by exhaustion.

However, that was merely his anxiety speaking.

Looking down at him with a warm smile, she responded,

Im here, human.

Ah

In that moment, seeing her radiant smile, he felt as if all his struggles over the past month had been worth it.

She was not the girl who had been unable to show any emotion.

He had seen her laugh, cry, get angry, and even blush.

Whats more, she had responded to him.

This was a significant change, considering she had been ignoring his words for the past month.

Just like her appearance, her voice was also beautiful.

It was a wonder how she could possess such a melodious voice.

Rays eyes filled with tears as he was lost in these thoughts.

He was so overwhelmed with joy that he didnt even realize tears were streaming down his face.

She looked at Ray, who was crying for her, and embraced him.

The elves tea is naturally mild. The flower in the yard is indeed Deher. I drew that picture out of sheer boredom. And I think the term dirty is inappropriate for a lady

Ray chuckled as she answered all the questions from that day while hugging him.

You heard all of that. Oh, and about cleaning my body

I dont mind since you did it.

Huh?

I said I dont mind.

Huh

An awkward silence ensued.

Despite having been together for a month, this was their first genuine conversation.

She was the one who broke the silence.

Thank you. You were the only one who ever came to my house. If you had given up on me, we wouldnt be having this conversation right now.

Rays expression was one of relief as he looked at her, who bowed her delicate body in gratitude.

As he looked at the sky outside the window, Ray shook his head.

No, Im more concerned that the elves might scold me for treating you carelessly. Hahaha.

Although he was joking, her reaction was different.

A chilling mana enveloped Airas body.

Who dares to treat my precious one carelessly. If someone has the courage to risk their life, they are welcome to try.

Thats intense.

The human boy, who appeared to be about ten years old, was speaking informally and comfortably to her, a high elf, which made her smile.

Ray felt awkward and scratched the back of his head.

That naturally reminded him of something.

The soft touch he had felt on the back of his head.

With a puzzled look, he asked,

Ah, by the way, what was I lying on?

What you were lying on?

As she said that, Aira slightly lifted the blanket to reveal her thigh.

The meaning was immediately understood.

Ray couldnt say anything and just stood there silently.

Enjoying the sight of Rays reaction, Aira said,

Elves allow those they acknowledge to touch below their waist and above their knees.

Huh?

I permit you to touch me.
